SAFETY NOTICE

●

The California Safe Drinking Water

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.

●

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to

four of these substances,

namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP

Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these

substances can be minimized by venting with an

open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE

TO YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and to cooking with induction or other electric surface cool-down times, depend upon units, you will notice some differences when you use surface unit you have. gas burners.

differences between gas burner cooktops and any

other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

Description

Regular or sealed gas burners use either LP gas or natural gas.

Electric coils under a glass- ceramic cooktop.

High frequency induction coils under a glass surface.

Flattened metal tubing containing electric resistance

wire suspended

over a drip pan.

Solid cast iron disk sealed to the cooktop surface.

How it Works

Flames heat the pans directly. Pan tlatness is not critical to cooking results, but pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop.

Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they

will stop before coming completely out from the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the stop position. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

Oven Moisture

The light comes on automatically when the oven door is opened. Use the switch on the panel to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler they may become hot.

●

Vent openings and nearby surfaces may become

hot. Do not touch them.

● Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the vent.

BAKING

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will

evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

● Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air

from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

● Metal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that surfaces of the range get hot too. you operate the range for a number of weeks to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking

results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions

for the best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the

walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover

a shelf with a large cookie sheet. For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven

at a time.

used is the one recommended.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil maybe used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Don’t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such

Questions and Answers

Is it necessary to check for doneness with a Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook

meat thermometer? a roast or poultry?

Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at hour intervals after half the time has passed.

Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool

20 minutes after removing them from the oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.

Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips

that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when

roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil

steam the meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

ROASTING GUIDE

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions

food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.

Turn the food, then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8” thick,

2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan which comes with the range. Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the

juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf position

as suggested in the Broiling Guide.

4. Close the oven door.

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat

juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices

could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions & Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

rack in the pan?

A. Yes.

A. No.

Using the rack suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

meat from sticking?

The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray

before cooking will make clean-up easier.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No.

Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

(continued next page)

Page 22

BROILING GUIDE

●

Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with

your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and

spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded

lower part of the pan.

●

Broiling should always be done with the oven

door closed.

●

For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the

outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise

through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent

piercing the meat and losing the juices.

●

If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling

or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

specific time. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part

of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any

part of this oven. If you do use them and do not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it

absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?

This is caused by excessive soil. Press the

room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear

during cleaning normal?

A. Yes.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes,

This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled

surface of my oven?

This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?

Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash.

It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is

the matter?

After many cleanings, the oven shelves will lose

their luster and become hard to slide. To make the shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.

My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes.

After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will

lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.

CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for your

range to assure safe and proper maintenance.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the packaging tape adhesive on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE:

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.

Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel–they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass

material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Before placing range in the counter, notice the location of the stability bracket which is already attached to the back of the range. This location should work for most installations. However, it may be more convenient to hook the stability chain to the unit when the stability bracket is attached to the upper set of holes in the back of the range. See Fig. A. The upper level set of holes are intended for use with a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not being used, make sure that there are no structural supports for the countertop which will interfere with the stability bracket when located in the upper set of holes.
