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--

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 aventilating 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 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.

Before Setting Oven Controls

OVENVENT

Fig. 1

Oven Vent Location

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

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). Refer to Fig. 2. Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

place cookware on rack positions 3 or 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 refor proper aircirculation

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 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

WARMER ZONE RIGHT REAR RIGHT FRONT

Warmer Zone Single Radiant Triple Element

Surface Control Surface Control Surface Control

(some models)

The element temperature rises gradual@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 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.

RIGHTREAR RJ(

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.

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 ifthe glass surface 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 allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material 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 Controls

Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models)

To Operate a Single Radiant Element:

Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

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.

HOT SURFACE

INDICATOR LIGHTS

O O

Fig. 1

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 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.

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

results.

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.

Surface Cooking

To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature

The ('-_"_ pad is used to activate the Cooktop Lockout feature which will lock all surface elements from being accidentally

turned ON. This feature will only lock the cooktop.

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature ON:

1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position. Fig.1

2. Press and hold _ until one beep is heard (after 3 seconds; See Fig. 1). If a triple beep sounds instead, check all

surface elements and turn them to the OFF position and repeat this step. The Cooktop Locked indicator light will turn ON

and the cooktop controls and functions are locked out until the cooktop is unlocked.

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature OFF:

1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position. Fig.2

2. Press and hold (,_ until one beep is heard (after 3 seconds). If a triple beep sounds instead, check all surface

elements and turn them to the OFF position and repeat this step. The Cooktop Locked indicator light will turn OFF and the

cooktop may be used normally (See Fig. 2). Note: Starting a Self-Clean cycle will also turn ON the Cooktop Lockout

feature. The cooktop will remain locked until the Self-Clean cycle has completed and the oven door has unlocked. If a

power failure occurs after the Cooktop Lockout has been activated, you must turn OFF the Cooktop Lockout feature before

being able to use the cooktop features again.

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 clearly marked if this _ _,, _ " _LE_ _ • _ _,,;i

feature is available on your range (See Fig. 3). if equipped with the "Power Element" feature, _ ::_:::

place the cookware on the left front surface element and follow the instructions "To Operate a

Single Radiant Element" in the Settings Surface Controls section. Fig. 3

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 Figs. 4). Check for

flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See

Fig.5).

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 & 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.
