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 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 bekept away from the high
heat of the broiler.

Do not cover the broiler insert with alumin urn 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 isessential 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

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

Fig. 1

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.

Recommended Rack Positions for Broiling, Baking & Roasting:
Food Rack Position

Broiling hamburgers & steaks See Broil
Broiling meats, chicken or fish See Broil

Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits & Muffins 4 or 5

Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread,

Flat Oven Rack Flat Handle Oven Rack Offset Oven Rack

(some models) (some models)

Always use pot holders or oven 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. 3), Flat Handle Rack (Fig. 4)

and the Offset Rack (Fig. 5).

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

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

Air Circulation in the Oven

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

ELEMENT ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

HOTSURFACE

OO0
O O

RIGHT REAR Rl(

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.

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,

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. Ifthese 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:

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 iscomplete, 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.

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
cooking is complete, be sure to set the control knob to the OFF position.

The suggested settings found in the table below are based on cooking in medium-weight
aluminum pans with lids, Settings may vary when using other types of pans,

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS FOR SURFACE ELEMENTS

Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (5-6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam vegetables

MEDIUM LOW (2- 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew

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.

as cookware and plates will be hot.

Level

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

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; vegetables

plates: ..............................

Note: The size and type of cooking utensil used,
and the amount and type of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for best cooking

results.

Surface Cooking

Using Turbo Boil TM Element (some models)

The Turbo BoilTMfeature 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 feature _ _ _ B 0 B o _

is available on your range (See Fig. 1). If equipped with the Turbo Boil TM 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. 1

v

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 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. 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.

GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic
cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
