IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use

this

appliance

only for its intended

use

described in this manual.

. Be

sure your

appliance is properly

installed

and grounded

by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

Don’t

attempt

to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recommended in this book.

All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

Before

performing

any service,

DISCONNECT

THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL

BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

WARNING–AU

ranges can tip and

,.4

injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range,

attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. (See Installation Instructions.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward until it engages the device.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any

re&onj make

sure~he

device engages the range

when you push the range back.

●

Do not leave children alone-children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

Don’t allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on

the door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

●

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

near the cooktop.

. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot heating elements and may cause severe bums.

●

Use only dry pot holders—moist

or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in bums from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

●

DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

. Keep hood and grease filters clean

to maintain

good venting and to avoid grease fires.

●

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

b )

●

Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother

flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray, or if available, use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

●

✎

Do not touch heating elements or interior surface of oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to bum even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units, areas nearby surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal trim parts above the door. Remember: The inside surface of the oven maybe hot when the door is opened.

When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least

170”F.

This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Oven

●

Stand away from range when opening oven

door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

●

Don’t

heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

Keep oven vent unobstructed.

-.,..:.

<~.

.>. :“

Keep oven free from grease buildup.

Place oven shelf in desired position while oven is

cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact heating units in the oven.

Pulling out shelf to the shelf stop is a convenience

in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

. When using cooking or roasting bags in oven,

follow the manufacturer’s directions.

●

Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If

overheated, they can catch fire.

●

Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored

in an oven can ignite.

. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils,

or food in the oven when not in use.

Self-Cleaning Oven

Do not clean door gasket.

The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

●

Do not use oven cleaners. No

commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

●

Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Book.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler

pan and other cookware.

●

Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the Self-Clean operation.

Surface Cooking Units

Use proper

pan size-This appliance

is equipped with different size surface

>Z-.==l

/—

units. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface unit heating element.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to burner will also improve efficiency.

●

Never leave surface units unattended at high

heat settings.

Boilover

causes smoking and greasy

spillovers

that may catch on fire.

●

Be sure drip pans and vent are not covered

and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

s Don)t

use aluminum foil to line drip pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this book. Misuse

could result in a shock, fire hazard

or damage to the range.

●

Only certain types of

glass? glas<ceramic~

earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature. See section on Surface Cooking for suggestions.

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials, and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

—

●

Always turn surface unit to OFF before removing cookware.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at HI or MEDIUM HIGH heat settings.

To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock,

always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to remove the unit.

Don’t

immerse or soak removable surface

units.

Don’t

put them in a dishwasher. Do not

self-clean the

surf’ace

units in the oven.

When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on

frozen foods

or moisture on fresh foods

can cause hot fat to bubble

up and over sides

of pan.

Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying.

Filling the pan too full of fat

can

cause

spillovers

when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Use deep fat thermometer whenever possible

prevent overheating

fat

beyond the smoking point.

Heat Setting Guide

HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water to

boil. Reduce heat setting after water boils.

MEDIUM

HIGH—(Setting halfway between HI and

MED) Maintains a fast boil on

large

amounts of food.

MED—Saute and brown; keeps

food

at a medium

boil or simmer. MEDIUM LOW—(Setting halfway between MED

and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in covered pan.

LO—-Used for long slow cooking

(simn]ering)

to tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting to melt butter

and

chocolate or to keep foods warm.

COOKING TIPS

Cookware

. Use medium-or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum

cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low

medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

● For best cooking results pans should be flat on the

bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size

the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the trim ring more than 1“.

Right

Wrong

NOT OVER 1“

OVER 1“

Deep Fat Frying

● Do not overfill cookware with

fat

that may

spill

over when adding food.

Frosty

foods

bubble vigorously. Watch food

frying at

high temperatures.

Keep range and hood

clean

from grease.

Wok Cooking

● We recommend that

yOLI

use only

flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

● Use of these types of woks,

without the support ring in place, is dangerous because the wok is unstable.

● With the ring in place, heat

will be trapped inside the

ring and may cause damage to the porcelain cooktop.

HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on surface units only.

Pots that extend beyond one inch

of surface unit’s

drip pan are not recommended

for

most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces

surrounding the surface unit.

HOW-EVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce

mixtures-

and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding surface units.

Observe the Following Points in Canning

sure the canner fits over the center of the

surface unit. If- your range or its location does not

allow

the canner to be centered on the surface unit,

use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results. For best results. use canners

with flat

bottoms.

Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often

found

in enamelware) don’t make good contact with the surface unit and take a long time to boi water.

—

canners are recommended.Flat-bottomed

when canning, use recipes and procedures from

reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars

for

canning, such as

Ball and Kerr: and the United States Department of

Agriculture

Extension Service.

Remember that canning is a process that generates

large

amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam

or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE:

your house has low voltage, canning

may take longer than expected, even though

directions have been carefully followed. The process time

will

be shortened by:

(1)

using a pressure canner, and

(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating

large

quantities of water.
