IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance isequipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element,

The useof undersized utensilswill expose aportion ofthe heating

element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve

efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the riskof

burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil

should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface elements.

Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

. Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven

bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in the Cooking Guide. Any other use of

protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric

shock or fire.

- Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensilsare

suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for rangetop use.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

o Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop--tf cooktop should break,

cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact aqualified

technician immediately.

• Clean cooktop with Caution--If awet sponge orcloth isused to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam

burn. Some cleanerscan produce harmful fumes if applied to a

hot surface.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door--Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven, Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented between the cooktop and the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven isoperating may cause severe burns.

Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

o Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired

location while oven iscool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition, Do not let potholders contact the

hot oven element or interior of the oven, Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack,

, Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan

and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

o Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a damp

cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the range or turn off the power to the range before removing and

replacinglight bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods

Surface Cooking

Ceramic-Glass Cooktop The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the surface of

the glass.The design of the glasscooktop outlines the area of the element below.

Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cooking utensil. Onlyfiat-bottomed pansshould be used. Thetype and sizeof the cookware,

number of elements in use and the settings of the elements are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas surrounding the elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

The cooktop should not be used asa cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.

Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly onthe smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) is not recommended as uneven cooking and more difficult cleaning will result.

Radiant Elements

The radiant element is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic fixture below the glass cooktop. The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the

temperature rises,the element wilt glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element wi!f cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide

a uniform and consistent heat during the off cylce. The ceramic fixture thermally

insulatesthe heating element, concentrating heat in the heating zone. Forefficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking iscomplete. Thiswill

allow residual heat to complete the cooking,The amount of residual heat depends on the type and quality of cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and

the selected heat setting. SeeSelecting Surface Cooking Utensils and Specialty Pans and Trivets in your Cooking Guide.

Undicator Light(s)

There are two different surface control lights that will glow on your range_a

surface signal light and a hot surface signal light.

The surface signal light, located on the Control panel, glows when any surface element isturned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an easy check to

be sure all surface controls are turned off.

Thehot surface signal light, located under the glasscooktop, will come on asthe surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glasscooktop has

cooled down to a moderate level.

Page 6

Setting Surface Controls

To Operate the Surface Element

1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element. 2, Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired

setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.The control knobs do not have to be set exactly

on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element of before removing the pan. Note: The surface signal lightwitt glow when one or more elements are

turned on. A quick glance at the light when cooking isfinished is an easycheck to be sure all control knobs are turned off.

The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in

medium-weight atuminum panswith lids.Settings mayvary when using other types of pans,

Setting Type of Cooking

HIGH (HI) Start most foods, bring water to aboil,

pan broiling

MEDIUM HIGH (6) Continue arapid boil, fry, deep fat fry

MEDIUM (4-5)

MEDIUM LOW (2-3) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew

SIMMER (StM) Keep warm, melt, simmer

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Do not place plastic items such assalt and pepper shakers,

spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.

Theseitems could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoonscould catch fire if placed too close to the element.

Broiling

Broiling is a quick method of cooking foods by direct radiant heat. Foods are placed under the upper heating element of the oven. Broiling resultsand timing depend upon the distance between the food and the broiling element.

To broil, follow the steps below:

t. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. For rare meats, position the broiler

pan closer to the element (upper position). For well-done foods such as

chicken, lobstertails or thick cuts of meat, position the pan further from the element (lower position).

2. Turn the Selector and Temperature knobs to BROIL.This combination setsthe oven in the full broil mode. You may adjust the Temperature knob

down to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done stage. To sear rare steaks, allow the element to become red-

hot--about 2 minutes--before placing food in the oven.

3. Placethe grid on the broiler pan, and then place the food on the grid. DO

NOT usethe broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum

foil. The exposed fat could ignite.

4, Placethe pan on the oven rack, Leave the door open at the broil stop

position while broiling. The door wilt stay in this position without closing.

5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Seasonand serve. Note: Always pull the rack out to the stop position before

turning or removing food. Seeyour Cooking Guide for more information on broiling.

6. When broiling is finished, turn the Temperature and Selector knobs to OFF.

Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn

off the knobs. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Self-Cleaning OvensiA General Description

A self-cleaning oven cleansitself with high temperatures (well above cooking

temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash

you can whisk away with a damp cloth.

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning

1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

°Allow the oven to cooi before precleaning. °Wear rubber gloves when predeaning and while wiping up the residue after

the self-dean cycle.

=DO NOT useoven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self<leaning oven. ,,DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket. °DO NOT useany cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing socould damage it.

2. Removethe broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperature.

3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the cleancycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycleis completed andthe oven has cooled, rub the sidesof the rackswith wax paper or acloth containing a small amount of babyoil or saladoil. Thiswill make the racks glide easier onto the rack supports.

4. Removeany excessspillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle.Toclean, use hot soapywater and acloth. Large spillovers cancause heavy

smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acidcontent (suchasmilk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices

or pie filling) to remain on the surface asthey may cause adulf spot even after cleaning.

5. Clean anysoilfrom the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven seal strip and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat

sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

The temperature in the oven has been set at the factory, When first using the

oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures, Ifyou think the oven is

too hot or too cool, the thermostat can be adjusted. Before adjusting the knob,

test a recipe by using a temperature setting higher or lower than the recommended temperature, The baking results should help you to decide how

much of an adjustment is needed, The knob can be adjusted in increments as indicated on the back of the knob.

To Adjust the Oven Temperature:

1. Check to be sure the Temperature knob isin the OFFposition,

2. Pull the knob straight off the shaft,

3. Loosen the two screws at the back of the knob (Figure 1),There isa series of small indicator lines directly opposite the OFFposition, One of these indicator linesis positioned next to a tiny pointer, Note the position of the pointer, Note: If knob does not have 2 screws, it is not adjustable.

4. Adjust the temperature accordingly. To increase or decrease the temperature, move the pointer in the direction of "H" to raise or "L" to lower the temperature.

5. When the desired adjustment isreached, tighten both screws,

6. To replace the knob, line up the flat sidesof both the knob and the shaft. Pushthe knob into place. DO NOT force the Temperature knob onto the shaft or you may damage the back of the knob.

Note: Once an adjustment is made, the OFFposition will vary from the reference mark on the backguard depending on the amount of adjustment,

levelers. When fastening to the floor, be sure that the screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing. The screws provided will work in either wood or

concrete.

1. Unfold the paper template and place it flat on the floor with the back and side edgespositioned exactlywhere the back and sidesof rangewill be locatedwhen

installed. Usethe diagram(s) above to locate the bracket(s) if a template is not

available.

2. Mark on the floor the location of the 2 (4) mounting holes shown on the template. Foreasier installation, 3/16" diameter pilot holes, a 1t2" deep can be

dritled into the floor.

3. Removethe template and place the bracket(s)on the floor with the turned-up

flange to the side. Line up the holes in the bracket(s) with the marks on the floor and attach with the screws provided. The bracket(s) must be secured to a solid

floor. If attaching to a concrete floor, first drill 3/16" diameter pilot holes using a masonry drill bit.

4. Levelthe range if necessary by adjusting the 4 leg levelerswith a wrench. See

Figure t, side box. A minimum clearance of 118" is required between the bottom of the range and the rear leveling feet,

5. Slide the range into place making sure the rear legs are trapped by the ends of the bracket(s). Therange mayneed to beshifted slightly to one sideas it isbeing

Avoid Service ChecMist Beforeyou call for service, review this list. ft may saveyou time and expense. The

list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship

or materials in this appliance.

OCCURRENCE

INSTALLATION Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily.

Appliance must be accessible for service.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Poor installation.

Weak, unstable floor.

Kitchen cabinet misalignment may Be sure cabinets are square and have make range appear to be unlevel, sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too Contact builder or installer to make tight, appliance accessible.

Carpeting interferes with range.

SOLUTION

Placeoven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling

legs at baseof range until level indicates that the rack is level.

When oven is leve!, cooktop may not

appear to be level with countertop.

Be sure floor islevel and can adequately support range.

Contact acarpenter to correctsagging or sloping floor.

Contact acabinet maker to correct problem.

Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

SURFACE ELEMENTS Surface element too hot or not hot

enough.

Surface element does not heat.

Incorrect control setting.

Lightweight or warped pans. No power to appliance.

Adjust control setting. Raise or lower setting until proper amount of heat is

obtained. Dial markings are an indicator of "relative" heat settings and will vary

slightly.

Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium

or heavyweight cookware. Flatpans heat

better than warped pans. Cookware

materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy and medium- weight pans heat evenly.B e c a u s e

lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods

may burn easily.

POOR BAKING RESULTS

Meat not properly prepared,

Grid on broiler pan wrong side-up. Grease does not drain into broiler

pan, Oven needs to be cleaned. Grease

has built up on oven surfaces.

Many factors affect baking results,

Remove excessfat from meat. Slash remaining fatty edgesto prevent curling,

but do not cut into lean.

Always place the grid on the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.

Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food

spatters cause excessive smoking.
