• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the door, storage drawer, or cooktop. They could

damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe
personaf injury,

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near
a cooktop.

• CAUTION; ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN
SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE

THE RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A
RANGE--CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE

TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED

. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while

using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for
items stored over the range. Flammable material

could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface
units or heating elements and may cause severe burns

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot holders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam Do not
let pot holders hot touch surface units or heating
elements Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.

- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain
good venting and to avoid grease fires.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range°

o Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a

flaming pan. Turn the controls off_ Smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely
with a weII4itting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside the pan can be put out by

covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a

multi-purpose dry chemical or foam4ype fire
extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by

closing the oven door or by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher..

• Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements, or the interior surface of the oven°

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
thought they are dark in color During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable

materials contact, the surface units, areas nearby the
surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow
sufficient time for cooling firsL

Potentialfy hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near
the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal
trim parts above the door
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be
hot when the door is opened.

PROTECTING AGAINST FOODBORNE ILLNESS

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least

an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking
to these temperatures usually protects against

foodborne illness.

OVEN SAFETY

° Stand away from the range when opening the oven

door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure

could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.

o Keep the oven vent unobstructed. The vent is under

the right rear surface unit°

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
. Place the oven shelf in the desired position while

the oven is cool. if shelves must be handled when

hot, do not let pot holders or oven mitts contact the
heating elements.

• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces

of the door or oven wall&

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,

follow the manufacturer's directions.

• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
if overheated, they can catch on fire.

• Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite°

• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or

food in the oven when not in use.

SURFACE UNITS

Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element The use of undersized cookware

will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in the ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit size
will also improve efficiency_

• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire,

° Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat

frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.

* If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating, or as fats

melt slowly.

° Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break

because of the sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of

a container should be turned toward the center
of the range without extending over nearby

surface units.

oAlways turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

o When preparing flaming foods under the vent

hood, turn the fan on.

• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking

point.

° Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

° Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides
of the pan.

° Clean the cooktop with caution, if a wet sponge

is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful
to avoid steam burns.

° To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock, always be certain that the controls for all

surface units are at the OFF position and all coils
are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.

° Do not immerse or soak the removable surface

units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

• Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not

covered and are in place. Their absence during

cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire

hazard or damage to the range.

Selecting types of cookware

Surface Cookware Tips

Use medium- or heavy-weight
cookware. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat faster than other

metals, Cast-iron and coated cast-

iron cookware are slow to absorb

heat, but generally cook evenly at

low to medium heat settings

Steel pans may cook unevenly if

not combined with other metals.

Not over 1 inch

For best cooking results, pans
should be fiat on the bottom, Match the size of the

saucepan to the size of the surface unit, The pan
should not extend over the edge of the surface unit

more than 1 inch,

Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only

a flat-bottomed wok° They are

available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have

support rings. Use of these types

of woks, with or without the ring

in place, can be dangerous. Placing use onlyflat-bottomed

woks,,

the ring over the surface unit will

cause a build-up of heat that will

damage the porcelain cooktop.

Do not try to use such woks without

the ring,. You could be seriously

burned if the wok tipped over,

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set

the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is

necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered

in the oven as much as possible, Pans should not touch
each other or the walls of the oven, If you need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly
above the other, and leave approximately 1½" from the
front of the pan to the front of the shelf

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil This will
disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking_

You can use aluminum foil to line
the broiler pan and broiler grid.

However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it
just like the grid,

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

1. Place the food on the broiler grid in the broiler pan°

2. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide.

3. Turn the Oven Temperature

knob to BROIL

Leave the door open to
the broil stop position_
The door stays open by
itself, yet the proper
temperature is
maintained in the oven

The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature, and your preference of
aloneness will affect broiling times,

Adjust the Oven Thermostat---Easy to
do yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than
the one it replaced_ Use your new oven for a few weeks
to become more familiar with it. if you still think your
new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the

thermostat yourself_
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in

grocery stores, to chec:k the temperature setting of your
oven. These thermometers may vary by 20-40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect broiling temperatures.

To Adjust the Thermostat
1o Pull the Oven Temp knob off the shaft, look at the

back of the knob and note the current setting before
making any adjustments.

2. Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.

3. To increase the oven temperature, move the pointer
toward the words "MAKE HOTTER."

To decrease the oven temperature, turn the pointer
toward the words "MAKE COOLER."

Each notch changes the temperature by 10 degrees
Fahrenheit,

4. Tighten the screws..

5. Reptace the knob, matching the fiat area of the knob
to the shaft.

The type of margarine will affect baking

performance7

Most recipes for baking have been developed using
high fat products such as butter or margarine (80%

fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give

the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies
or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the
fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable
these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine"
to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water.
The high moisture content of these spreads affects the
texture and flavor of baked goods, For best results with
your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick
spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil..

10

If your range is removed for cleaning,
servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip

device is re-engaged properly when the
range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the
range and cause injury.

Oven Interior

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the
inside of the oven--top, bottom, sides, back and inside
of the door--will stay new-looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning, We recommend that

you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range..
Soap and water will normally do the job,.Heavy spattering

or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner, Soap-filled steel wool pads may also be used

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull
spot even after cleaning

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier..
Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in
a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help
loosen the burned-on grease and food_

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the
package directions

Do not spray even cleaner on the electrical controls
and switches because it could cause a short circuit

and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the

temperature sensor--it could cause the oven to heat
improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.)
Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its
position could affect how the oven bakes,

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles
or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted
surfaces The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
