Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Know which 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 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.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements i
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 under a ventilating 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 panand
its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high

heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with 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 a good 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 or filter. 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 spiliovers 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.

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.

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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the element outline on the cooktop. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-
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

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As
the temperature rises, the element wilt 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. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating

efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat

to complete the cooking process.

(some models) (all models) (some models)

NOTE: Please read detailed instructionsfor ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before

You Call checklist sections of this Use and 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 can occur if the cookware is too
small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

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 theWarmer Zone.

Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone Control

1. To set the control, push in either direction and turn the knob. 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 done, turn the control to OFF. The Warmer Zone will remain warm
until the hot surface 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.

Surface Cooking

Using proper cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface heating element. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig.l).

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using

cookware as shown in Fig. 2.

Note: The size and type of cookware used wilt influence

the setting needed for best cooking results.

Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the
surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool,
the food wilt absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is
too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center
will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too

much food at once as the food will neither brown nor
cook properly.
