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. Fator 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 useof 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 settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accumula-

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

melt.

Protective liners--Do not usealuminum foil to line oven

bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil asrecommended for baking if used as a 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 potholdersiMoist 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 potholden

• 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.

IMPORTANT--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 utensils--Only 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 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 cooktop_lf cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may

penetrate the broken cooktop and create a riskof electric

shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. Clean cooktop glass with caution--If awet 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.

Exposedfat 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 cleaners--No 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 gasket--The 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

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 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 flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

I : u

• 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.

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 glassjars for the latest canning information.

2. Useflat-bottomed canners only. Heat isspread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.

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 aslow as possible to

maintain a constant boil.

5. It isbest to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop:

1. Do not use water bath or pressure cannersthat extend more than one inch beyond the edqe 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.

MED-LOW (2_4) Keep food cooking, poach, stew. MIN (1-SIM) Keep warm, melt, simmen

*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 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 useand 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 cause burns.

The cooktop should not be used asa cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Panswith rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface.

Placing foods not in utensils directly on the smoothtop surface is not recommended asdifficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard. Never usegriddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic-glass cooktop.

BROIL

Broiling isa method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. A beep lets you know when the broil temperature is reached. Be sure you center the broiler

pan directly under the broil element for best results. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.

The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use the pan without its insert DO NOT cover the insert 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 use a fire extinguisher DO NOT put water or flour on the fire Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury

Preheating

Preheating is suggested 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 isnot necessary when broiling meats to welPdone.

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food isbrowned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times vary, sowatch 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.
