RANGESAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without having the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.

Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved. See the installation instructions for details.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:

"'Bracket

Anti-Tip

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of

potential exposure to such substances. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other

reproductive harm. This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed, including benzene, formaldehyde, carbon

monoxide, and toluene.

• Slide range forward.

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor or wall.

• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARN(NG: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow

basic precautions, including the following: [] WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF

THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK

IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

[] CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

[] Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

[] Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room. [] Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left

alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of

the range.

[] Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the range.

[] User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the

range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

[] Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials should

not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

[] Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame

or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

[] Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth.

[] DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time

to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

[] Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with one or

more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a

portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

[] Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat

Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

[] Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place -

Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

[] Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in

the manual. Improper installation of these liners 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 utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

[] Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns,

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

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

[] Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating

elements should never be immersed in water.

[] Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should

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

a qualified technician immediately.

[] Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot surface.

[] Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

[] Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

[] Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. [] Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved

while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating

element in oven.

[] DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR

SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven

become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials

contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the

appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among

these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near

these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors. For self-cleaning ranges - [] 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 Manual. [] Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and

other utensils. For units with ventilating hood -

[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. [] When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.

It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more visible, and may require more cleaning and care. Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For more information, see "General Cleaning" section.

• Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heaw or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.

• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could

break when the lid is removed.

• For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

• To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough

finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

• Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm)

outside the area.

_.....................B

A. Surface cooking area B. Cookware/canner

C. 7/2"(1.3 cm) maximum overhang

• Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or

dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

• Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the

cookware.

• Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.

• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits

when heated. To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly

on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy

thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and

copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS Aluminum •

Heats quickly and evenly. Suitable for all types of cooking. Medium or heavy thickness is best for

most cooking tasks.

Cast iron

Heats slowly and evenly. Good for browning and frying. Maintains heat for slow cooking.

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

• Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking

area or element.

• Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.

• On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.

• On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil

element will be shortened. See "Assistance or Service" for instructions on ordering.

• For instructions on ordering, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies that manufacture home canning products can

also offer assistance.

Ceramic or Ceramic glass

Copper • Earthenware •

Porcelain • enamel-on- steel or cast iron

Stainless steel •

Follow manufacturer's instructions. Heats slowly, but unevenly.

Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.

Heats very quickly and evenly. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Use on low heat settings. See stainless steel or cast iron.

Heats quickly, but unevenly. A core or base of aluminum or copper

on stainless steel provides even heating.
