important 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.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size m Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of

clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also

improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a

pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn

the burner off before removing the pan.

* Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting

fop burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge

of the utensil.

. Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend

over adjacent surface burners m To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due

to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

* Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat

settings = Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

* Glazed cooking utensils _ Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.

* When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the

fan on.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR SELF= CLEANING OVENS

Removing, replacing and arranging racks

Always use pot holders or oven miffs when

using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and

exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

DO NOT llne the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking

results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.

Arranging = always arrange the oven racks when the oven is

cool (prior to operating the oven).

To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up

front of rack and slide out. To replace - fit oven rack onto

the rack guides on both sides of oven wails. Tilt the front of

oven rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Be sure

oven racks are level before using.

Types of oven racks

flat handle

oven rack

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than fiat oven racks. This design provides several additional possible positions between the fiat rack positions.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cool<ware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate

around the cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food (See Fig. 3 ).

Fig. 3

Baking layer cakes with I or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 and 4. For best results when baking cakes or cookies using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 (See

Fig. 2).

Before Setting Surface Controls

Using proper cookware

DO NOT place flammable items such as

plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. PothoJders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

Important: DO NOT place alumlnvm foil, or ANY materlal that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop.

For best cooking results, cookware should have

flat bottoms that rest level on the surface

burner grate. Before using cookware, check for flatness by rotating

a ruler across the bottom of the cookware

(Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

Setting proper burner flame size

Never extend the flame beyond the outer

edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a weIHighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or dean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

Correct

flame setting

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

Cookware material types

The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

Stalnless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.

Is durable, easy to dean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however wiii retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics wiii vary depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)

For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under

cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown or cool< properly.

Flame size _ Type of cooking

High flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;

pan broiling.

Medium flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces_

gravies; steaming.

Low flame

_These settings are based for medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using

cookware made from different materials.

Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

Fig. 2

Setting Surface Controls

Setting surface burners

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in

larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.

The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center

burner.

The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO BOIL burner (on some models) are recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.

Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn

counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE

position. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in

and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as

needed.

important nares: ° DO NOT cool< with the surface control knob left in the

LITE position. The electronic ignitor wii[ continue to spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position .

When setting any surface control knob to the LITE

position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the

same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

° NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two

different surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause uneven heating results.

° In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in

and turn knob to desired setting.

Fig. 1

Da not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pothoiders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

I_ Da nat place aluminum fail, ar ANY

material that can melt an the range caakfap. If these items melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface.

Home canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA

(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

° Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

° Use only a completely flat bottom canner. ° Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1

inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.

° Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.
