• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as

described in this Use and Care Guide.

• Be sure your appliance Is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with

the provided installation instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing

should be referred to a qualified technician,

• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

• Before performing any service, UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING

THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER,

• Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead

to broken or shattered glass.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

• Do not leave children alone—children should not be

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

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer, or cooktop. They could

damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near a cooktop.

• CAUTION: ITEIVIS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE

THE RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE

TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material

could be ignited if brought In contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

BASIC SAFETY

• Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements, or the interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even thought they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact, the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any Interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices

around the oven door and metal trim parts above the door. REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

PROTECTING AGAINST FOODBORNE ILLNESS

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160T and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking

to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne Illness.

PRECAUTIONS

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders hot touch surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline

or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain

good venting and to avoid grease fires.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flaming grease outside the 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 or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

OVEN SAFETY

• stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure

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

• Keep the oven vent unobstructed. The vent is under

the right rear surface unit.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Place the oven shelf in the desired position while

the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holders or oven mitts contact the heating elements.

• Pulling out the shelf to 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.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,

follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or

food in the oven when not in use.

IMPORtANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

SURFACE UNITS

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit size will also Improve efficiency.

• Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boiiovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying.

Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when

food is added.

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used In frying,

stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats,

• Only certain types of glass, giass4;eramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable

for cooktop service; others may break because of the

sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a

container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

' When preparing flaming foods under the vent hood,

turn the fan on.

' Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to

prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

' Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium

high heat settings.

' Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost

on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause

hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns,

• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock,

always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit

* Do not immerse or soak the removable surface

units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

> Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not

covered and are in place. Their absence during

cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

' Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or

anywhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or

damage to the range

Selecting types of cookware

Surface Cookware Tips

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other

metals. Cast-iron and coated castiron cookware are slow to absorb

heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings,.

Steel pans may cook unevenly if

not combined with other metals. y /„cr?

For best cooking results, pans should be flat on 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.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop, Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Use only ftat-bottomsd woks.

USING THE OVEN

Before you begin...

To avoid possibie burns, place the shelves In the desired position before you turn the oven on.

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports (A through

E), they will stop before coming completely out; they also will not tilt

When placing and removing cookware, pul! the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support..

To remove a shelf, puli it

toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the

support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in,

NOTE: The shelf Is not

designed to slide out at the special low (R) shelf position.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

1. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the temperature

you desire,

2. Check food for doneness at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

3. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF when cooking is complete.

The oven has 6 sheH positions.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat,

set the oven at the correct temperature, Preheating is

necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies,

pastry and breads .

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven, If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 1 Vf from the front of the pan to the front of the shelf .

Aluminum Foii

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil. You can use aluminum foil to line

the broiler pan and broiler grid,. However, you must mold the foil

tightly to the grid and cut slits in it Just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a

lower shelf several inches below the food. Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will

disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

How to Set the Oven for Broiiing

1. Place the food on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.

2. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide.

3. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to BROIL.

Leave the door open to the broil stop position.

The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven

USING THE OVEN

Adjust the Oven Thermostat—Easy to do yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary by 20-40 degrees,

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect broiling temperatures.

To Adjust the Thermostat

1. Pull the Oven Temp knob off the shaft, look at the back of the knob and note the current setting before making any adjustments.

2. Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.

3. To increase the oven temperature, move the pointer toward the words “MAKE HOTTER."

To decrease the oven temperature, turn the pointer toward the words “MAKE COOLER.”

Each notch changes the temperature by 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. Tighten the screws.

5. Replace the knob, matching the fiat area of the knob to the shaft .

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat), if you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads,. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water.

The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Front of OVEN TEMP knob (knob appearance may vary)

If your range Is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable for cleaning,

Do not lift the door by the

handle. Make sure the oven is completely cool.

Oven Interior

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door—will stay new-looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that

you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range. Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering

or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as miik, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie

fiiiing) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull

spot even after cleaning. Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier.

Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions,.

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire ,

Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the

temperature sensor—it could cause the oven to heat improperly, (The sensor is located at the top of the oven) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside of the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces . Oven cleaner can damage these surfaces.

To remove the door, open it to the special stop position. Grasp

firmly on each side and lift the

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if

misused This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away, When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has

cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Lift-Up Cooktop

Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position.

The surface units do not need to be removed; however, you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier. There are two side supports that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean doth, lower the cooktop. Be careful

not to pinch your fingers.

To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently lower the cooktop until It rests in place.

Be sure all surface anils are turned off before raising the cooktop

Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and the

surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.

Surface Units

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan and

puli it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch. If you do, it

may not lie fiat on the drip pan when you plug it back in. Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1 inch above

the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.
