Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR 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-- 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 USINGYOUR 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 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 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.

Oven with visible

Bake Element- Fig. 2

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See Fig.

1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent. This venting is

necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks

To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.

To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

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. For models with a visible Bake Element (Refer to Fig. 2)

For models with a hidden Bake Element* (Refer to Fig. 3)

mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Rack (Fig. 4), Flat Half Rack (Fig. 5) and Offset Rack (Fig. 6). To maximize cooking space the Offset Rack can be used in the lowest rack position to roast large cuts of meat and poultry.

Fig. 7

The Flat Half Rack has a removable insert that can provide extra space for larger food items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a casserole dish (See Fig. 5). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Fig. 7) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See 1-Fig. 8) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into rack (See 2-Fig. 8).

Offset Oven Rack

Fig. 6

Fig. 8

Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or rear walls.

Before Setting Oven Controls (cont'd)

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 as shown (for models with a visible bake element). For models with a hidden bake element place oven racks in positions 3 (Flat rack) &6 with the Offset rack if equipped (Refer to Fig. 1). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack position 4 (for all models

- Refer to Fig. 2).

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air

must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for

even heat to reach around the food.

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 flat-

bottomed cookware should be used.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

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.

OOO OOO OOO O O O O O •

WARMER ZONE RIGHT REAR RIGHT FRONT

About the Radiant Surface Elements

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.

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several

minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

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 HIsetting. 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 is equipped 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 illustration at left).

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 is too 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 is finished 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 2_, 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 a guide 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.

[Irt_ 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, push in either direction and turn the knob (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 hot such as; vegetab!esl gravies, casseroles, soups,stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.
