Range Safety

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:

wDANGER

wWARNING

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 ANTI-TIP BRACKET

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 the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

wWARNING

RANGE SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: 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, 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 cooking zones.

•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 COOKING ZONES OR AREAS NEAR THEM – Surface Cooking Zones may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface cooking zones may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface cooking zones or areas near them 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 cooking zones of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface cooking zone 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 Cooking Zones Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

•Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom, 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 Cooking Zones – 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 cooking zones.

RANGE SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•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 flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Using the Radiant Glass cooktop

Cooking on the radiant glass cooktop is similar to cooking on coil elements. There are, however, a few differences:

• The surface cooking zone will glow red when the element is turned on. You will see the element cycling on and off – even on the HI setting – to

prevent the glass from overheating.

•Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

•Sugary or starch spills, boilovers, and some soils can cause pitting. Wipe as soon as the hot surface indicator light goes off. Rinse thoroughly and dry. See “Cleaning the radiant glass cooktop” in the “Caring for Your Range” section, p. 35, for more information.

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

•Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Food and water particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits on the cooktop when it is heated.

•Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave marks that are difficult to remove or could leave permanent marks.

•Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it. Be careful when using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.

•Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

•Do not allow anything that could melt, such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, to come in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

•Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and give you the most even heating. See “Cleaning the radiant glass cooktop” in the “Caring for Your Range” section, p. 35, for care and cleaning suggestions.

USING THE SURFACE COOKING ZONES (contd.)

Home canning information

To protect your range:

• Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of

							cooktops, especially
							radiant glass. Canners
							with rippled or ridged
1"						1"	bottoms do not allow
							good contact with the
							surface.
							• Center the canner
							over the largest surface
							cooking zone. Do not
Surface			Pan
							extend more than one
cooking zone
							inch outside the
surface cooking zone. Large diameter can-

ners/pans, if not centered correctly, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

•Do not place your canner on two surface cooking zones at the same time.

•The type of material the canner is made of determines the length of heating time. Refer to the “Characteristics of cookware materials” chart,

p.11.

•When canning for long periods of time, allow surface cooking zones and the surrounding surfaces to cool down.

•Alternate use of the surface cooking zones between batches or prepare small batches at a time.

•Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring to

aboil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

•For up-to-date information on canning, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products.

Cookware tips

•Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface cooking zone. Cookware should not extend more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) outside the zone.

•For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware that makes good contact with the surface cooking zone. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

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

•Cookware with a non-stick finish has heating characteristics of the base material.

•Check for rough spots on the bottom of metal or glass cookware which will scratch the radiant glass surface.

•Use flat-bottom cookware for best heat conduction from the surface cooking zone to the cookware. Determine flatness with the ruler test. Place the edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. Hold it up to the light. No light should be visible under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all directions and look for any light.

•Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface cooking zone. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or the surface cooking zone.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking zone through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

	Aluminum	• Heats quickly and evenly.
		• Use for all types of cooking.
		• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
		• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
	Cast iron	• Heats slowly and evenly.
		• Good for browning and frying.
		• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
		• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
	Ceramic or	• Heats slowly and unevenly.

USING THE OVEN

Positioning racks and pans

Place the racks where you need them before turning on the oven.

•To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge and lift it out.

•Be sure the rack(s) is level.

•Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

•For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

•When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

•For best results, allow 2 inches of space around

each pan and between pans and oven walls. Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

Where to place pans:

WHEN YOU HAVE	PLACE
1 pan	In center of the oven rack.
2 pans	Side by side or slightly
	staggered.
3 or 4 pans	In opposite corners on
	each oven rack. Stagger
	pans so no pan is directly
	over another.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD	RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large	1st or 2nd rack guide
roasts, turkeys,	from bottom
angel food cakes
Bundt cakes, most	2nd rack guide from
quick breads, yeast	bottom

Light colored aluminum	• Light golden crusts	• Use temperature and time recommended
	• Even browning	in recipe.
Dark aluminum and other	• Brown, crisp crusts	• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
bakeware with dark, dull,		• Use suggested baking time.
and/or non-stick finish		• Use temperature and time recommended in recipe
		for pies, breads, and casseroles.
		• Place rack in center of oven.
Ovenproof glassware,	• Brown, crisp crusts	• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
ceramic glass, or ceramic
Insulated cookie sheets or	• Little or no bottom browning	• Place in the bottom third of oven.
baking pans		• May need to increase baking time.
Stainless steel	• Light, golden crusts	• May need to increase baking time.
	• Uneven browning
Stoneware	• Crisp crusts	• Follow manufacturer's instructions.

USING ALUMINUM FOIL

•Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners, or cookware. Permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

•Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. Doing so will reduce air circulation and overall oven performance.

•To catch spillovers from pies or casseroles place foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than dish.

•

•

Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to slow down surface browning for long term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.

NOTE: The oven will heat normally even though “PrE HEAt” is displayed and then maintain the selected cooking temperature.

Roasting meats and poultry

•For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.

•Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

READJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL (OPTIONAL)

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the temperature calibration by following the steps below.

1.Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds.

The display will show the current temperature calibration, for example “0,” if you have not already adjusted the temperature.

NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an incorrect reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.

BROILING

For best results, do not preheat when broiling, unless your recipe recommends it.

1.Place the rack so that the surface of the food is at least 3 inches away from the broil element. See “Broiling guidelines,” pp. 22, 23.

2. Put your food on the broiler pan and place the pan in the center of the oven rack.

3. Close the door to the broil stop position.

The broil stop position lets the door stay open by itself about 5 inches and ensures proper broiling temperatures.

Broiling guidelines

•Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They are designed to drain extra juices from the cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent spatter and smoke.

•To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover the grid with foil.

•Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat on the edges to prevent curling.

•Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.

•Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food.

•After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

•For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as soon as possible after each use.
