How to Remove Packaging Tape.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove packaging tape

adhesive on new appliances is an application of a household liquid 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: The plastic tape must be removed from the chrome trim on range parts. It cannot be removed if

it is baked on.

How to Check Pan Performance

performance and cleaning of your cooktop.

The correct cookware reduces the temperature of the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of

You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.

Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of your pans you may do this quick test.

Porcelain/enamel: Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and fuse to the. surface.

Glass-ceramic: not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch surface. Usable, but not recommended.

Stoneware: not recommended

Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.

Cast Iron: not recommended

Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

Another simple test to determine even heat distribution across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the location of bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles localized in only a portion of the bottom indicate uneven contact of the pan to the surface unit, uneven

heat transfer or an unsuitable pan. Use pans that match the diameter of the surface

unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if the cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface unit.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS

Place only dry pans on the surface units. Do not place lids on the surface units,

particularly wet lids.

We recommend that. you use

only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. The bottom

of the wok should have the

Observe the Following Points in Canning

HOWEVER, 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 the glass cooktop surfaces.

Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface unit. If your cooktop or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.

2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don’t make enough contact with the surface units and take too long to boil water.

RIGHT WRONG

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

CAUTION: Safe canning requires that harmful micro-

organisms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed completely. When canning foods in a bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the required time.

After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or pressure levels are maintained for the required time.

3. 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

4. Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE:

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

of large quantities of water.

The cooktop surface units have temperature

limiters that prevent the glass cooktop from getting too hot. If the bottom of your canner is not flat, the

surface unit can overheat, triggering the

temperature limiters to turn the unit off for a time.

This will stop the boil or reduce the pressure in the canner.

Since you must make sure to process the canning jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption in processing time, you cannot can on any of the cooktop surface units if your canner is not flat enough.

protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop

follow these basic steps. DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning

Creme on Glass Ceramic. For normal, light soil:

1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of Cook Top Cleaning

paper towel. Wipe until all soil and creme are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.

2. Clean the surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme after each use.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme to the (cool) soiled area.

2. Using a dry paper towel, rub creme into the burned on area. As with any this may require some effort.

3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with the razor scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.

4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the Cook Top Cleaning Creme.

5. Buff with a dry paper towel.

NOTE:

● Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface

if the 30° angle is maintained.

●

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.

Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

● Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.

3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to

remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled. Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all of the spillover has been removed. Follow the steps under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.

General Information:

As the Cook Top Cleaning Creme cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the cooktop surface. This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and therefore make the cooktop more susceptible to staining.

PRECAUTIONS

● Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and

abrasives which can damage the surface of your cooktop.

Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme for proper cleaning and protection of your glass ceramic surface.

● If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across

the surface of your cooktop, they may leave

markings which appear as scratches.

metal

If this should happen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to remove these markings. Failure to remove these residues immediately may leave permanent marks.

●

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable

using Cook Top Cleaning Creme or full strength white vinegar.

● If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper, or

enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond with the glass ceramic and leave a black discoloration. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

● Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film

on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme will remove this discoloration.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be.

ROASTING

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with

a meat thermometer?

Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide

section. For roasts over 8 pounds, check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes after removing them from the oven.

Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

ROASTmG 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).

(continued)

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook

a roast or poultry?

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.

foil

Q. Can I seal the sides of my

“tent” when

roasting a turkey?

Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving

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

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 given on the package label.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range

may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for pan with food in the oven. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling. You may also use a higher shelf position.

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.

minutes before placing the broiler

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

rack in the pan?

A. Yes.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

A. No.

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

meat from sticking?

The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make clean-up easier.

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.

● The oven door should be open to the broil

stop position.

●

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

minutes only.

● When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty

edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could

soil the oven bottom.

● The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,

for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

●

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick

pork chops thoroughly without over-browning them.

●

Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven

shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing

cooking time given in this guide 1

● If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks

may be broiled by preheating the broiler and

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of

day, can I still self-clean my oven?

the clock is not set to the correct time of day you will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a 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. Turn the oven off.

Open the windows to rid 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.

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