heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

* Use Care When Opening an Oven Door_

Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Lethot airor

steam escape before you remove or replace

food inthe oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The upper oven is vented at the back of the cooktop and the lower oven at the center trim. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive

items near the oven vent. These items could

melt or ignite.

NEVER cover any slots, holes

or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum

foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

*Placement of Oven Racks. Always place

oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before

removing rack. If rack must be moved while

oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot

holders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the

hot oven element or interior of the oven.

* Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.

The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of

the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease

could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.

Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.

* Protective liners--DO NOT USE ALUMINUM

FOIL TO LINE THE OVEN BOTTOM. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this

manual. Improper installation of these liners

may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN MODELS

* Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the

parts of the appliance listed in this Use & Care Guide. Before using the self-cleaning

cycle of the appliance, remove the broiler

pan and any utensils stored in the appliance.

* Do not dean the oven door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• 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 appliance

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any oven. Move

birds to another well ventilated room.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR

CLEANING YOUR OVEN

* Clean the appliance 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. Greasy deposits in

the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

* Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease

should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer's

instructions for cleaning.

FOR CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOPS

* 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.

* Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils

For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:

Pans should have fiat 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 to your health.

*GOOD

POOR

_ _ .......................... J

o Curved and warped pan

t t

o Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids. o Weight of handle does not tilt

pan. Pan is well balanced.

• 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.

e 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.

o Pan overhangs unit by more

than one-half inch or 12mm.

o Heavy handle tilts pan.

o Pan is smaller or larger than

Leveling

For good baking results, 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. Use a 11/4" 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 levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in one direction, and then the other.

4. Use the ] 1/4" 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 leveling legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.

Specialty 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.

Woks with fiat bottoms suitable

for use on 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 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 cracking of the glass range surface.

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must

be in direct contact with the surface elements.

DO NOT use a wok if it is

equipped with a metal ring.

Because this ring traps heat,

the cooktop surface could be damaged.

For glass smoothtop models, only fiat bottomed woks (without support rings) may be used.

Canning Tips & information

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning

information.

2. Use fiat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is fiat.

3. Center canner on the burner grate.

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 as low as possible to maintain a constant boil.

5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop:

1. Do not use water 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. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

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.

Canning can

generate large amounts of steam.

Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent

steam away from you.

Keep food cooking, poach, stew. Keep warm, melt, simmer.

Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units.

The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the individual heating unit is turned on. if the knob is set to a very tow temperature setting, the indicator may gtow and yet, the heating unit may not be heating at att. if this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.

When cooking is finished, a quick glance at the indicator lights is an easy check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned to OFF.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN iS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

Oven Vent Location Removing and Replacing Oven

(Models: 790.9010 _) (Models: 790.9015 _) Racks

The oven is vented through the right

rear coil element. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking

results. DO NOT block the vent(s).

Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.

The oven isvented at the right rear of the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vent(s). Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.

To remove an oven rack, putt the rack forward until it stops. Lift up

front of rack and slide out. To replace an oven rack, fit the

Air Circulation in the Oven

if using multiple pans, stagger as shown, if using one

pan, place in center of oven. For best air circulation and baking results, center

pans as much as possible. Allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the ustensil(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 pans in the oven for even heat to reach all

parts of the oven.

Broiling information

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat from the broil element of the oven. Meats are placed on the broiling rack (if equipped) and the rack

is placed under the broiling element.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (remove all uensits from the oven before preheating; food will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROIL as instructed in the Setting Oven Controls section. Wait for the

element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when 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 putt 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.

Broil Stop Position

Grid

Broiling Tips (some models)

(some models)

If equipped, 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.

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.

Broiler Pan

(some models)

Always pull oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips (some models): * 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 is completed. 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.

Self-Clean Oven Cycle (Main Oven)

• Adhere to the Following Precautions

• Preparing for the Self-Cleaning Cycle

• What to Expect During Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven Cycle

Adhere to the Following Precautions:

Do Hand Do Not Hand

Allow the oven to coot before cleaning. Clean Door Clean Gasket Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

During the self=clean cycle, the outside of the wall can become very hot to touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. A ventilation system starts automatically; it is normal for the hot

air to be evacuated through the front of the appliance.

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until the oven is cool.

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. DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning

oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may affect cooking, or the foil could melt and damage the oven surface.

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (welt above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wash away with damp cloth.

Do Hand

-- Clean Frame

Preparing for the Self-Cleaning Cycle

1. Remove excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

2. Clean all soil from the oven frame and the inner door (see illustration to left). These areas heat sumcienfly during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. Do not clean door seal because doing so can permanently damage it.

3. Remove all utensils and any foil from the oven. These items do not withstand high cleaning temperatures.

4. Remove the oven racks. If they go through the self-clean cycle, their color witl turn slightly dull, and they will also become difficult to glide in and out of the oven. Should this occur, the racks can be made to glide easier by rubbing their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby or salad oil.

What to Expect During Cleaning

While the oven self-cleans, it heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vents, located on both sides of cooking surface.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

NOTE: When the oven reaches its self-clean temperature, the smoke level will be reduced to vapor.

FEATURE OVERVIEW * Self-Cleaning Cycle

To start the Self-Clean Cycle

aWe recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average to heavy soils.
