important Safety instructions

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Knowwhich knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit 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 isturned 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.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• 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.

• When flaming foods underaventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if
equipped)--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 Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with
coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is 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 oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and
its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high

heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insertwith aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.

• 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 OVENS

• Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• 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 agood seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

•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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each
surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• 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.

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood orfilter. Follow manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cook Top 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 noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Before Setting Oven Controls (conrd)

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the
element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only fiat-

bottomed cookware should be used.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will affect the
amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become
hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

000 OOQ 000

WARMER ZONE RIGHT REAR RIGHT FRONT

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly.
As the temperature rises, the element will glow red.
To maintain the selected setting, the element will

cycle on and off. The heating element retains
enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent
heat during the off cycle.

iiiiiiiiiii_ ii

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Surface Control

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before
You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware

is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

ELEMENT ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

Your range isequipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator
lights that will glow on your range-- the ELEMENT ON indicator light and the Hot
Surface indicator lights (See illustrationat left).

| _ELEMENT ON

I ELEMENT ON _ _

The ELEMENT ON located on the control panel and will glow when a surface
element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an
easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF.

The Hot Surface indicator lights located above each surface radiant control
knob will glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until
the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Setting Surface Controls

To Operate Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models)

To Operate a Single Radiant Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (See
Fig. 1). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower
setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a
particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each
surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red
surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware istoo small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the surface element OFF before removing the
cookware. Note: The ELEMENT ON indicator light will glow when one or more elements
are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking isfinished is an easy
check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will
continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF" position and will glow
until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (some models)

The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer element. The "Simmer Select" feature heats ]
the element at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. You may switch between normal

cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking process. When using the element control for normal _:................
cooking all of the settings on the control knob (LO to HI) function as normal.

To Start Simmer Select:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

2. Push in the Simmer button located below the left front control knob. The Simmer Select indicator light will glow and
remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 2).

3. Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band on the control knob (LO to 4). Use the
marks as aguide and adjust the control knob from LO to 4 as needed (see illustration below).

4. To return to normal cooking, push in and release the "Simmer Select" button and the indicator light will turn OFF. When
cooking is complete, be sure to set the control knob to the OFF position.

Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone (some models)

The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold

food on the Warmer Zone.
All food placed on the Warmer Zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum

foil to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the
cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very

difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop

use on the Warmer Zone.

Unlike the surface elements, the Warmer Zone will not glow red

when it is hot.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from

the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone Control

1. To set the control turn the knob in either direction (See Fig 2). The
temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO.
However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for
different levels of heating.

2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The Warmer Zone will remain
warm until the indicator light goes OFF.

Temperature Selection - Refer to the chart at the side column for
recommended heating levels. If a particular food is not listed, start with the
medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.

Note:use the warmer Zone to keep Cooked foods hOtsuch as; Vegetables;
gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven:safe dinner plates.

Surface Cooking

Using Power Element (some models)

The "Power Element" feature uses a higher wattage surface radiant element which
can bring food items to boil much quicker. The left front radiant element will be

the "Power Element" feature, place the cookware to boil on the left front surface
element and follow the instructions "To Operate a Single Radiant Element" in the

Settings Surface Controls section. Fig. 1

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating
element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 3).

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 itto darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining
& pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop,
they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches.
Remove these marks immediately.

COPPER =Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May
leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).

STAINLESS STEEL =Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST IRON =A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very
well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not
recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

PORCELAIN=ENAMEL on METAL =Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must
be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
