When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

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.

• Do not leave children alone--_hitdren 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: ITEMS 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.

- 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 160°1=.and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°1=.Cooking

to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

BASIC SAFETY 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 availabfe, 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.

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 wil! expose a

portion of the surface lmit 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. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spitlovers 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, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable

for cooktop service; others may break because ofthe sudden change in temperature°

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 bums°

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 uniL

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.

• 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.

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

cookwareoAluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-

iron 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.

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 Useonlyflat-bottomed

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.

Not over I inch

woks.

The oven has 6 sheff 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 bread&

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 1Y2 from the front of the pan to the front of the shelf.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil This will

disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking_ You can use aluminum foil to line

the broiler pan and broiter gri&

However, you must mold the foil

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

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

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.

Adjust the Oven Thermostat--Easy to

do yourself!

The type of margarine will affect baking

performance!

"Youmay 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. Pul! the Oven Temp knob off the shaft, look at the

back of the knob and note the current setting before

making any adjustments, Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.

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°

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 tow 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.

4. Tighten the screws.

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

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.

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 cleanero Soap-filled steel wool pads may also be used.

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

filling) 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 oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Lift-Off Oven Door

straight up and off the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven

door frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position,, Position the slots in the bottom of

the door squarely over the hinges and slowly lower it over both hinges.

To clean the inside of the door:

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive

cleaner° Soap-filled steel wool pads may also be used, Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content

(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaningo

To clean the outside of the door: Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides

and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the

door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings° Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and

basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.

When surface is cool, clean and rinse° Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh

abrasives on the outside of the door°
