appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit
or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Do not touch surface burners, areas near these
burners, oven burner, interior surfaces of the oven
or Warm & Ready Drawer. Areas near surface burners
may become hot enough to cause burns During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammab!e
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, Warm & Ready
Drawer and window

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
• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp pothotders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam, Do
not let the pothotders touch the flame or burners, Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pothotder,,

Important Instructions for Using Your
Cooktop
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit.
• Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the utensil, The use of under-
sized 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.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--
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
Settings--Boilovers causesmoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner pans, the oven bottom or any other
part of the range Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the
food Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil
may interfere with heat and air distribution, and
combustion. Damage to the range or personal injury may
result.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils---Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature° Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use,
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see
that the burner is on Burns wil! occur if the hot covers are
touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or
burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air
will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion
problems

Flame Size
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases your risk of being burned
by the flame,.
RIGHT
Ull
Proper Burner
Adjustments
m r
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to complete the process, Use the chart below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking The size and type of
utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for cooking
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingfy, 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 quickty that the center will be
undercooked Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the
food will neither brown nor cook properly
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame(6-HI) Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Medium Flame (3_5) Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Low Flame (LO-2) Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
* These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans=
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment A good flame is
clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room Each cone of flame should
be steady and sharply defined Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange
To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning
