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 itto the power supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped 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 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, ignitionof 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 units.
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 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--Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven doors 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 ovens
off. If the ovens are not turns off and the power resumes,
the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended
could catch fire or spoil.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. 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 result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
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.
Checkthe manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop
use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an
element is accidentally 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.

important Safety
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 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 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.
instructions
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. Refer to
the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• 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 all utensils or foods from the oven.
Keep ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near each side and towards the
back of the cooktop. 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 an oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the ovens. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use your broiler pan without its grid. Broiler
pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• 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.
Do not use oven cleaners--No commercial oven
cleaner or ovens 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 is
essential 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 is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
Pans should have flat bottoms. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom. There should be no gap
between the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for its
intended purpose. Follow
manufacturer s instructions. Some
utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.
Do not use griddle over
more than one burner because it could
damage your cooktop. It can also result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards and
be hazardous toyour health.
*GOOD
POOR
o Curved and warped pan

e Pansizes match the amount of
food to be prepared and the
size of the surface element.
• Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
• Easyto clean.
• Always match pot diameter to
element diameter.
Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

24" Models
Leveling
For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are pro-
vided at each corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the
leveling legs.
To level the range:
1. Use a 11A"open end key or an adjustable wrench to equally unscrew the four leveling
legs two to three turns each.
2. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.
3. Move the range to its final position, then put a level on the rack to check for level-
ness. Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in one direction, and
then the other.
4. Use the 1 1A"key or wrench to adjust the leveling legs. Turn each one until the range
stands firm without wobbling.
5. Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving.
If floor is flat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers (some
models) to prevent the range from moving.
If floor is not flat or level or if this model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4 lev-
eling legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.
