IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface
heating unit. Place a pan of food on the
surface element unit before turning it on,
and turn the element off before removing
the pan.
• 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 heating element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface
elements — 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 elements 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.
• Improper cookware may break due to
sudden changes in temperature. Check
the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS ON COOKTOPS WITH
COIL ELEMENTS
.
• Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls
are in place. Absence of these pans or
bowls during cooking may subject wiring
or components underneath to damage.
• Carefully check the reflector pans, drip
bowls and coils for packaging material.
Remove all packaging material before
using the cooktop.
• Do not immerse or soak removable
surface heating elements. Surface heating
elements should never be immersed in
water. Heating elements clean themselves
during normal operation.
• Do not use decorative surface burner
covers. If an element is accidentally
turned on, the decorative over will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
• Protective liners — Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface unit drip bowls, or
reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire.Do not allow
grease to accumulate around surface
burners and drip bowls.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
Save these instructions for future reference.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE
Before manually cleaning any
part of the range, be sure all controls are
turned off and the range is cool. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
• Clean the range regularly to keep all
parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Pay particular attention to the area
around each surface element. Do not
allow grease to accumulate.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen
cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that
excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE
HEATING UNITS, OR SURFACE COOKING
ELEMENTS, AREAS NEAR THESE SURFACE
HEATING UNITS, OR INTERIOR SURFACE OF
THE OVEN. Both surface heating and oven
heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface
cooking units may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials touch these areas until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the
cook top, the oven vent openings and
surfaces near these openings, oven door and
oven door window.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning
hoods.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Before using self-clean, remove the
broiler pan, any food, utensils, and
bakeware from the oven. Remove oven
racks unless otherwise instructed.
• 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 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.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-clean cycle
of any oven. Move birds to another wellventilated room.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Before Setting Surface Controls
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware
used will influence the radiant element power level setting needed
for best cooking results. Be sure to
follow the recommendations for
using proper cookware as illustrated in both Figure 1 and
Figure 2.
Figure 1: Testing cookware
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Figure 1). Cookware should have flat bottoms
that make good contact with the entire surface heating element
(See Figure 2).
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced
.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to element
size.
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat
is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The
most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will
cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining
and pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See
Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is
durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very
well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary
depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
About the surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. For efficient
cooking, turn OFF the surface element just before cooking is
complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking
process.
Surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The surface element may still
be hot and burns may occur if the surface element is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of
the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip
bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Do not place aluminum foil or any material that could melt on
the surface elements.
Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place —Absence
of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
