WARNING!

For your safe_ the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal inju_ or loss of life.

WARNINGANti-tiP DEVICE

All ranges can tipand injury could result.

Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach

it to the wall by installlng the Anti- tip device

supplied.

If the Anti-tip device suppfied with the range does not fit this appfication, use the universal Anti- tip

device WB2X7909.

Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged

properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-tip device should engage and prevent

the range from tipping over.

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

TheCalifomia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of Callfomia 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.

If you pull the range out from tile wall l_or any reason, make sure the device is property

engaged when you push the range back a_nst

tile wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the

range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer m the Anti-Tip device int_ormation in this manual. Failure to take this precaution

could result in tipping of tile range and injury.

Thefiberglass 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.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

N Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using tile appliance. Be careli_l when reaching for items stored over tile range.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units

or heating elements and may cause severe bums.

N Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch

hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

N For your s_ety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

N Do not let c_king grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near" the range.

N Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn tile controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surl:ace unit by covering tile pan completely with a well-

fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or lbam-type

fire extinguisher Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or; if available, by using a multi-purpose dry

chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flame in the oven can be smothered

completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-

purpose dlT chemical or lbam-type fire extinguisher.

N Do not Much the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surl:aces may be hot enough m burn

even though they are dark in color. During and _ter use, do not Much, or let clothing

or other flammable materials contact, the surl:ace units, areas nearby the surt:ace units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surl:aces include the cookmp, areas lacing the cookmp, oven vent opening,

surl:aces near the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal trim parts above

the d_r. REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

@ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammaMe vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

N Keep the hood and grease filters clean

m maintain good venting and m avoid grease fires.

OVEN

N Stand away from the range when opening

the oven d_r. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns m hands, lace

and/or eyes.

@ Do not heat unopened food containers.

tkessure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

% Keep the oven vent unobstructed. N Keep the oven free from grease buildup. N Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder

contact the heating elements.

N Pulling out the shelf m the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching

hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

N When using c_king or roasting ba_ in the

oven, follow the manut:acturer's directions.

N Do not use the oven m dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire. Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in an oven can igrlite.

may discolor.

SURFACEUNITSALLMODELS

"_ Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

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

ff Never leave tile surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

ff Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cookmp service; others may

break because of the sudden change in temperature.

ff To minimize tile possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned

toward the center of tim range without extending over nearby surface units.

ff Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

ff When preparing flaming foods under the

vent h_d, turn the t:an on.

ff Keep an eye on lbods being ffied at high or

medium high heat setting.

ff Foods lbr [iTing should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen f_ds or moisture on fresh f_ds can cause hot fat m bubble up and

over the sides of tim pan.

ff Use little lat lbr efI;ective shallow or deep fat

[iying. Filling the pan t_ full oflat can cause spillovers when food is added.

ff Ifa combination of oils or fats will be used in

Checkpans for fiat bottoms by using astraight edge.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavyweiglttrecommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the

cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting

point, thin-weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be

removed, as long as tile cooktop is cleaned immediately. Howevm; do not let these pots

boil &T- Overheated metal can bond to glass cookmps. An overheated copper

bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not

removed immediately.

Glass-ceramic:

usable,butnotrecommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Home Canning7-1ps:

Be sure the canner is centered over the surihce unit.

Make sure the canner is fiat on the bottom.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available

from manufacturel's such as Bald and Kerr_ and the Depamnent of Agriculture

Extension Service. To prevent burns from steam or heat, use

caution when canning.

PorcelainEnamel CoveredCastIron:

Thefollowing information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.

Surface Cookware lips

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat J[_ter

than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat,

but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly

Notover1inch if not combined with other metals.

Wok Cooking

For best cooking results, pans should be flaton the bottom. Match the size of the

saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge

of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Werecommendthatyouuseonlyafiat-bottomed wok.Theyareavailableatyourlocalretailstore.

Do not use woks that have support ring-s. Use of these types of woks, with or without

the ring in place, can be dangerous.

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. Howevm,

you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in itjust like the grid.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as

possible. Pans should not much each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger dm pans so one is not

directly above the othm, and leave approximately 1½" from the front of the
