removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not leave children alone--Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance

is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACEUNITS,AREAS NEARTHESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTSOR INTERIOR SURFACESOF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven

heating elements 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 touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

Wear proper apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires--Smother

the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Use proper pan size. This appliance isequipped with one

or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in

ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

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.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settingsiBoilovers cause smoking and greasy accumula-

tions that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may

melt.

Protective linersiDo not usealuminum foil to line oven

bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used asa cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or

fire or short circuit.

Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do

not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers--Buildup of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it

is to be stored or discarded.

IM PORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven

during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power

resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.)

Electronic controllers can be damaged by

cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long

period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

Glazed cooking utensilsiOnly certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for rangetop servicewithout breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use. Do not use decorative surface element covers. Ifan

element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will

become hot and possibly melt. Burnswill occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktopilf 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 glass with cautionilf a wet sponge or

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

harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door. --Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food

in the oven.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the rear of the cooktop on the right side. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

Placement of oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven iscool. If rack must be moved

while oven is hot useextreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be

aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may

ignite causing damage and injury.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

• In the self-cleaning cycle, only clean the parts listed in this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the

oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• Do not use oven cleanersiNo commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should

be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Do not clean door gasketiThe door gasket isessential

for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds isextremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean- ing cycle of any range. Move birds to another well

ventilated room.

Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.

Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation

hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming

food under the hood, turn the fan on. Referto the hood

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils

For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:

Pans should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface ele-

ment. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom. There should be no

gaps between the pan and ruler.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer's instruc-

tions. Some utensils were not made to be

used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Specialty Pans & Trivets

*GOOD

t t

• Flat bottom and straight sides. Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface

element.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• Easyto clean.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles

and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cook-

ware requirements.

Woks with fiat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in

most cookshop or hardware stores.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than 2.5 cm (I ").

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan issmaller or larger than element.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped

with a metal ring. Because this ring traps heat, the surface element and cooktop surface could be damaged.

For glass smoothtop models, only flat bottomed woks (without

support rings) may be used.

DO NOT use two

elements (if the cooktop is not equipped with bridge element) to heat one large pan such as a roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to

boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in either of these situations could

cause discoloring or crazing of the

range surface.

Wire trivets: Do not usewire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the surface elements.

Surface Cooking

NOTE: Due to the high

intensity of heat generated

by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element is turned off. This phenom-

enon isnormal and the glass will come back to its

original white color after it

hascompletely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).

Setting Surface Controls

1. Place the pan on the surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface element controi knob to desired setting.

3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn the element off before removing the pan.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Setting Type of Cooking

HI (MAX) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling. 5 (MED) Maintain a stow boil, thicken saucesand gravies, steam

vegetables. 2-4 (MED-LOW) Keep food cooking, poach, stew. LO (MIN) Keep warm, melt, simmer.

*The suggested settings found in the chart above are based on cooking in medium

thickness aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Do not place items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders

or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could

melt or ignite Potholders, towels or wood could catch fire if placed too close to the

eiement.

Ceramic-Glass Cooktop (some models)

The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils Iocated below the ceramic-glass surface. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface heating coils

betow. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of

the surface area. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-

bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the surface units are factors that will affect the amount of the heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or

hard objects on the cooktop maycrack it. Panswith rough bottoms may scratch the

cooktop surface. Piacingfoods not in utensils directly on the smoothtop surface is not

recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard. Never use griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic-glass

cooktop.

Types of Heating Units Used

REGULARRADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)

The ceramic-glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.

Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels. Knobs need first to be pressed in when at OFFposition, then turned to the desired heat settings. A glowing red surface extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates

the utensil istoo small for the unit.

The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Usethe marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot surface and surface indicator

lights will glow.

Note: A built-in protector will automatically turn off the radiant heating unit if the ceramic-glass temperature exceeds the set limit.

utensils The hot surfaceand surface indicator lights will glow when the heating unit is turned ON Note: During any heat setting of the outer radiant eiement, the inner radiant eiement cycles on

and off with the outer eiement.

Indicator Lights

Two different surface controi lights will glow on your range: Surface Indicator Lights and Hot

Surface Indicator Lights.

• The surface indicator lights, located on the control panel, glow when any surface unit is

turned on. A quick glance at the lights after cooking is an easycheck to be sureall surface controls are turned off.

• The hot surface indicators lights, located under the glass cooktop, will come on asthe surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glasscooktop hascooled down

to a moderate ievei.The iights may remain on eventhough the controis are turned to OFR

Oven Vent(s) and Racks

Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep

all internal components at a cool temperature. It is possible that the blower keeps running even if the range has

been turned off, until the components have cooled down.

Oven Vent Location

eiement. See illustration for the exact location. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent(s). This

venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and

good baking results. DO NOT block the vent(s). Doing so may

cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THEOVEN IS COOL (PRIORTO OPERATINGTHE

OVEN). Always useoven mitts when using the oven.

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the

rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven light on during aself-cleaning cycle. High temperature witl reduce Iamp life.

On some modeis an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven is opened. The oven light may be turned on when the door isclosed by using the oven light switch located

on the Electronic Oven controi. On a self-cleanning oven the Iamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.
