BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
COOKTOP SAFETY
Keep this book for later use.
Be sure your range Is Installed and grounded properly
by a qua,fled technician.
Atways use dry potholders when removing pans from
the oven or cooktop. Moist or damp pothotders can
cause steam burns.
Always follow cleaning instructions In this book.
Always keep the range and oven clean. Food and
grease are easy to Ignite. Clean the range, oven and
vents regularly,
C_e_n Only Parts Listed In Manual.
CAUTBON: Do not store items of interest to
chigdren _ cabinets above a range or on the
backg_uard of a range. Children climbing on a
rae_ge _o reach items could be seriously injured.
Allways keep combustible wall coverings, curtains, or
drapes a safe distance away from your range and oven.
A_ways keep dish towels, dish cloths, potholders and
other linens a safe distance away from your range.
Hover store such items on your range.
Always keep the appllance area clear and free from
_hings that will burn (gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids).
Reve_ try to repair or replace any part of the range
unless Instructions are given in this book. All other
world"should be done by a skilled technlclano
_ever heat unopened food containers. Pressure
buildup may make container burst and cause Injury.
_ever leave jars Or cans of fat or drippings on or near
_herange. Neverlstgreasebullduponyourrange. You
can keep grease fires from starting If you clean up
grease and spills after each range use.
_ever try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
Neve_ touch surface units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of the oven. They may be hot even though they
appear dark In color.
#,_vJaySkeep wooden utensils, plastic utensils or canned
food a safe distance away from your range.
Some cleaners produce nox-
lous fumes and wet cloths or
sponges could cause steam
burns If used on a hot surface.
Always use care when touching the cooktop. Heating
elements could be hot enough to burn you even if they
are dark in color.
Onty some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used
for cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will
not break when heated on the cooktop elements.
Never block free airflow through the oven vent.
_ Choose pots and pans
withflatbottoms,largo
.......... enough to cover the en-
tire cooktop element. This will cut down the risk of
setting pot holders or clothing on fire with an uncovered
element and waste less energy.
OVEN SAFETY
Paace oven racks In desired position whlleoven Isco01.
If rack must be moved white oven Is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element In oven.
#.tfter broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the
range and clean It. Leftover grease In the broiler pan
can catch on fire the next time you use the pan.
Always use care when opening oven door. Let hot air
and steam escape before moving food.
Never use aluminum folt to line drip bowls or oven
bottoms. Improper use of foil could start a fire.
SELF=CLEAN SAFETY
Df the seN.cleaning mode malfunctions, turn off
and disconnect the power supply. Have serviced by a
qualified technician.
Always remove broiler pan and other utensils from the
oven before a self-clean cycle.
Never rub, move, or damage the door gasket on self-
cleaning ranges. The gasket is essential for a good seal.
Never try to clean utenslls, cookware or removable
parts of your range during a self-clean cycle.
Do No_ 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.

iMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act requires the governor of California to publish
a list of substances known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm and requires busi-
nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass Insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a
very small amount of carbon monoxldeduring the clean-
lng cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
R_MOVAL OF PACIKAGllHG TAP_:
"to remove adhesive left from packing tape and
ensure you do not damage the finish of your new
appliance, use an applicaUon of household liquid
dish washing detergent, mineral oil, or oooking
oil, Apply with soft cloth and allow to soak, Wipe
wi_h soft cloth, DO NOT use plesUc pad or
equivalent. Wipe dry and then apply an appil.

To Start Things Cooking (to.to)
For best cooking results and energy efficient operation,
you should use pans that are flat on the bottom. Match
the size of the pan to the size of the surface unit. The pan
should not extend over the edge of the drip bowl more
than1",
5_ote= A slight odor Is normal when a new cooktop Is
used for the first time. it is causad by the heating of new
parts and Insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
WOK COOKING
We recommend that you use only a fiat.bottom wok,
They are available at your local retail store.
HOME CAN ING TIPS
In surface cooking of foods other than canning, the use
of large-diameter pots (extending more than 1" beyond
_:lge of drip pan) is not recommended. However, when
canning with water-bath or pressure canner, large-di-
ameter pots may be used. This Is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
cooktop surfaces surrounding heating unit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DDAMETER CAN-
HERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYSNG OR BORLgHG FOODS OTHER THAN WATER,
OBSERVE FOLLOWIHG POINTS iN
CANN|NG
1. Brlng water to boll on HIGH heat, then after bolllng
has begun, adjust heat to lowest setting to maintain
boll (saves energy and best uses surface unit).
2. Be sure canner fits over center ofsurface unit. If your
range does not allow canner to be centered on
surface unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good
canning results.
3. Flat-bottomedcannersgivebestcannlng results. Be
sure bottom of canner isflat or sllght Indentation fits
snugly over surface unit. Canners with flanged or
tippled bottoms (often found In enamelware) are not
recommended.
4. When canning, use recipes from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes are available from the manufacturer
of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for can-
ning, such as Ball and Kerr; and the United States
Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
5. Remember, in following the recipes, that canning ts a
process that generates large amounts of steam. Be
carefulwhllecannlng to preventbumsfrom steamorheat.
NOTE" If your range is being operated on low power
(voltage), canning may take longer than expected, even
though directions have been carefully followed. The
process may be Improved by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) beglnnlng with hot tap water when heating
larger quantities of water.
,Most syrup or sauce mixtures-- and all types of frying
--cook attemperatures much higherthan bolllng water.
Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop sur-
faces surrounding heating units.
