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 fiat 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, 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 units.
• 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 usealuminum foil to line oven
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 resutt 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 servicewithout breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recom mendations for rangetop 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 cooktop_lf 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 a wet 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use care when opening oven doo_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 ovens vents unobstructed. Eachvent 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 isoperating 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 the broiler pan without its grid. The
broiler pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaustfan ventilation
hoods and grease filters shoutd 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 the broiler pan and any utensils or foods _*
from the oven. _;j_
• Do not use oven cleaners--No commercial oven

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.
• 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Selecting Surface
Cooking Utensils
Forbest result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these
characteristics:
Pansshould have flat bottoms. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler acrossthe
bottom. There shoutd be no gap between
the pan and ruler.
Note: Always usea 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 usegriddle over
more than one burner because it could
damage your cooktop. It can also result in
exposure to carbon monoxide levelsabove
allowable current standardsand be
hazardous to your health.

Leveling
For good baking resutts, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are provided at
each corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the leveling legs.
To level the range:
1. Usea 1_¼"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 othen
4. Usethe 1 _¼"key or wrench to adjust the leveling legs. Turn each one until the range
standsfirm without wobbling.
5. Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving.
If floor isflat 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 leveling
legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
useon your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
DO NOT use two elements (if the
cooktop is not equipped with bridge
element) to heat one large pan such
asa 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 cracking of the glass
range surface.
Wire trivets: Do not usewire
trivets. Cookware bottoms must be
in direct contact with the surface
elements.
S )ecialty Pans & Trivets
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring that extends
beyond the surface element. 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.
1. Usetested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local 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 burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time [t takes to bring the water
to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain aconstant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop:
1. Do not usewater bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch beyond the
edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to
cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
DO NOT use a wok if it isequipped
with a metal ring. Because this ring
traps heat, the cooktop surface
could be damaged.
Canning Tips &
Information
Canning
can generate large
amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to
)revent burns. Always
raisethe lid to vent steam
away from you.
l
Safe canning 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.

Oven Vent(s) and Racks
Oven Vent Locations
The oven has its own vent located on the top, near each side and towards the back of the
cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent; this ventilation is
necessaryfor proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THEOVEN IS COOL (PRIORTO OPERATINGTHE
OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out.
To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.
in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much aspossible. Allow 2_4" (5-10
cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other or
the door, sides and back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for
even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

Broiling Information Setting Oven
Broiling isa method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat from the broil element of the Controls
oven. Meats are placed on the broiling rack and the rack is placed under the broiling element. FEATURE OVERVIEW
See the broiling instructions for main oven in the Setting Oven Controls section.
• Broiling Tips
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan before preheating;
food will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, setthe oven control(s) to BROILas instructed
in the Setting Oven Controls section. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about
2 minutes. Preheating is not necessarywhen broiling meats well-done.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the other side; season and serve.
Always pull rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary; 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.
Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed
grease could ignite.
Broil Stop
Position
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.
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.
