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.

USING YOUR RANGE

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.

Home canning information

To protect your range:

•

Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of

cooktops, especially
radiant glass. Canners
with rippled or ridged
bottoms do not allow
good contact with the
surface.

•

Center the canner
over the largest surface
cooking zone. Do not
extend more than one
inch outside the

surface cooking zone. Large diameter can­ners/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
a boil; 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.

Pan

USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE SURFACE COOKING ZONES (contd.)

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

11

ENGLISH

USING YOUR RANGE

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

Cast iron

Ceramic or
ceramic glass

Copper

Earthenware

Porcelain enamel-on-steel or
enamel-on-cast iron

Stainless steel

• 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.

• Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

• Heats s low ly a nd uneve nly.

• Use on low to medium settings.

• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

• Heats very quickly and evenly.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

• Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

• See cast iron and stainless steel.

• Heats quic k ly but uneve nly.

•

A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides

even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

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.

BAKEWARE CHOICES

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.

Saving energy

•

To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little
as possible.

•

Use the timer to keep track of cooking time.

•

Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the
oven by cooking more than one food at a time, or
baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a
meal.

4. When roasting, preheating the oven is not

necessary unless your
recipe recommends it.
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.

ENGLISH

USING YOUR RANGE

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.

2. Set the new offset temperature.

Press TEMP (s) or (t) pad(s) to raise or lower
the temperature in 10°F amounts. You can set
the temperature change to as low as -30°F or as
high as +30°F. A minus (-) sign will appear before
the number when decreasing the temperature
setting. The minus sign shows the oven will be
cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign
in front of the number when increasing the
temperature setting.

3. Enter the adjustment.

NOTE: You must press START/ENTER after

adjusting the calibration or your changes will not
be made.

How to determine the amount of
adjustment needed

The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust
the temperature calibration to get the cooking
results you want. You can figure out cooking results
by the amount of browning, moistness, and rising
times for baked foods.

To display temperatures in °C instead of °F:

Press and hold BROIL for 5 seconds. You will hear a

short tone and the temperatures displayed will

switch to °C. To switch back to °F, repeat the

instructions above. Whenever you switch, “°C”

or “°F” will be displayed until another key is pressed.

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.

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

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.

Precision broiling

Use precision broiling if your food is cooking too
fast or if you want your food to broil slower from the
start. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces
of meat, fish and poultry may cook better if you use
lower broiling temperatures.

1. Press BROIL.

2. Press the TEMP (▼) keypad to lower the

temperature in 5°F amounts. The broil range is
range is 170°F - 500°F.
