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 lineoven
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
isto 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

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. If an
element isaccidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will 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.

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 excessresidue from cleaners and aerosols may
ignite causing damage and injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
Forbest result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that havethese 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
w
u
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 flat 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(1 ").
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller 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.
IIr!_e_lJKe]_l
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.
1. Usetested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with the
manufacturer of glassjarsfor the latest canning information.
2. Useflat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the
bottom surface isflat.
3. Center canner on the surface element.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to
bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possibleto
maintain aconstant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the surface element.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface elements between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same
element all day.
Safecanning requires that harmful micro-organisms are
destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the
required time.
Canning Tips &
Information
Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Useextreme
caution to prevent burns. Always raise
the lid to vent steam away from you.

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
MAX (HI) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling.
MED (5) Maintain a slow boil, thicken saucesand gravies, steam vegetables.
MED-LOW (2-4) Keep food cooking, poach, stew.
MIN (1-SIM) Keep warm, melt, simmer.
*The suggested settings found in the chart above are based on cooking in medium thickness
aluminum pans with lids. Settings mayvary 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 element.
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop (Models: 790.45792/1/4/9)
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic-glass surface.
The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface heating coils below. Most
importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the surface area.
Heat is transferred 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 areassurrounding the units may become hot enough to causeburns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard
objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface.
Placing foods not in utensils directly on the smoothtop surface isnot 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.

Broiling Information
Preheating
Preheating issuggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan before preheating.
Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILas
instructed in the "ELECTRONICOVEN CONTROLSECTION". Wait for the element to become
red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessarywhen broiling meats to well-done.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food isbrowned; turn and cook on the second side. Seasonand
serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the
element, but on the thickness and age of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first
side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require
additional time.

of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed
grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or usea fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour
on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Always pull oven rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips:
• To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover
the broiler grid with foil.
• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking
iscompleted. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak
the pan in HOT, soapy water.
• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel
wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
