Important Safety Instructions

_MPORTANT _NSTRUCT_ONS FOR US_NGYOUR
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 Emements--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 Emements Unattended at Nigh Heat
Settings--Boi!overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Do Not Bmmerse or Soak Removable Heating Emements--

Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.

Gmazed 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.

_MPORTANT _NSTRUCT_ONS FOR US_NGYOUR
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.

• Pmacement 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 se[foc[eaning 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 Cmean 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
we!l-ventilated room.

_MPORTANT _NSTRUCT_ONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

Cmean the range regumaHy to keep aH 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 cmeaners 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 shoutd 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.

venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking

results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.

Removing & Repmacing 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 wails. Tilt

Baking Layer Cakes with I or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 (Flat Oven Rack or Flat Handle
Oven Rack) & 5 with the Offset Oven Rack (some models; See Fig. 6). For best results when using asingle oven rack,
place cookware on rack positions 3or 4 (See Fig. 7).

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking
results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookwa re 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.

Before Setting Oven Controls (cont'd)

About the Ceramic Gmass 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.

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.

WARMER ZONE RIGHT REAR RIGHT FRONT

............... About the Radiant Surface E_ements

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.

Surface Control

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 Genera! 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 fiat.

ELEMENT ON and Hot Surface _ndicator 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.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not p{ace p_astic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon ho{ders 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 allow amuminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or ANY mateNal that can melt to

make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they WILL damage the ceramic cooktop.

Setting Surface ControJs

Single Radiant Surface E_ements (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 ineither 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 controJ 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.

Simmer Select Surface Emement (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.

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).The Simmer Select
indicator light will glow and remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 2).

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 wilJ not gJow red

when it is hot.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from

the warm zone as cookware and plates wilJ 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 controJ can be set at any position between HI and LO for
different levels of heating.

Using proper cookware

*CORRECT

INCORRECT

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 Figs. 4). Check for

flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See
Fig.5).

Cookware Materia_ 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:
ALUMff,JUM o Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it

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