IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• DO NOT touch cooking zones, surfaces near them, or interior oven

surfaces_ These may be hot enough to cause burns even though they are

dark in color. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or

flammable material contact the zones or hot surfaces until they have

had time to coot. Other surfaces near the oven vent openings, oven

door and window, and cooktop surfaces may also be hot enough to

cause burns.

• NEVER LEAVE cooking zones unattended at high settings.

Boilovers result in smoking or greasy spills which could catch fire.

• NEVER cook on a broken cooktop; cleaning solutions and spillage could penetrate it and create the risk of

electrical shock or fire. Contact a qualified technician for repairs.

. ALWAYS TURN utensil handles

inward and away from other cooking

zones to reduce the risk of burns,

ignition, unintended contact, and

spillage.

• WHEN PREPARING flaming foods under the vent hood, turn the fan on.

• ONLY certain kinds of glass or ceramic cookware can be used for

cooktop cooking, Make sure the cookware you choose to use is

designed for cooktop cooking

without breaking due to the sudden temperature change.

- ALWAYS USE care when

touching cooking zones. They will retain heat after the range has been

turned off,

• NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent

behind the right rear cooktop cooking zone.

• COOKWARE USED for cooktop cooking should be flat on

the bottom and large enough to cover the heating zone being used. Undersized utensils expose the heating zone and may result in direct contact or ignition of clothing,

The proper size utensil will also improve efficiency.

PLACE OVEN RACKS in the desired position while the oven is

cool. if racks must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder

contact the hot oven element.

• AFTER BROILING, always take the broiler pan and grid out of the oven and clean them Leftover grease in

the broiler pan could catch fire the next time you use your oven.

• ALWAYS USE care when opening the oven door. Let hot air and steam

escape before moving foods.

• NEVER USE aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper use of

foil could start a fire, or electrical shock could result.

IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: 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.

• CLEAN ONLYthe parts listed in this

manual. Follow all cleaning instructions. Be sure to remove broiler

pan and grid before the self-clean cycle.

• NEVER RUB, move, clean, or damage the door gasket on

self-cleaning ranges. It is essential for a good seal.

o NEVER TRY to clean utensils,

cookware, removable parts, or broiler pan and grid in the self-clean cycle,

• DO NOT USE oven cleaners - No commercial oven cleaner or protective

coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven,

• IF THE SELF-CLEANING mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and

disconnect the power supply, Have it serviced by a qualified technician

iMPORTANT SAFETY

NOTICE!

READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION NOW!

Be sure everyone in your home knows what to do in case of fire.

Never use water on a grease fire; it will only spread the flames.

COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:

Never pick up a flaming pan...

1. Turn off the surface elements

2. Smother the flame with a tightly fitting lid, use baking soda, or

use a dry chemical, foam, or halon-type extinguisher,

OVEN FIRE: Do not try to move the pan!

1. Close the oven door and turn

controls off

If fire continues, carefully open the

door, throw baking soda on the fire, or use a dry chemical, foam, or halon-type extinguisher.

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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 businesses to warn their customers of potential exposure to

such substances. The fiberglass insulation in a self-cleaning oven will give off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the

cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an

open door or window or using a

ventilation fan or hood.

OPERATION

:== .q

Protectingthe Cooktop

• DO NOT slide cookware across your cooktop

• DO NOT use a dishtowel or sponge to clean or wipe your cooktop,,

• DO NOT use scouring powders or plastic, nylon, or metal cleaning pads on your cooktop.

. DO NOT apply your cooktop

cleaning creme to the cooktop surface if the surface is hot,

° READ the instruction label on the

surface of your cooktop

• AFTER cleaning the cooktop surface, be sure to wipe off any residue that may be left from the

creme with a dry paper towel.

• FOR MAJOR spills, turn the surface control knob to OFF, Use a dry paper towel to wipe up spill, then use a razor scraper (held with a potholder) at a 45 ° angle against the surface of the cooktop to scrape remaining spill from the hot cooking zone.

• DO NOT cook directly on the surface of the glass.

• DO NOT use the cooktop as a cutting board.

• DO NOT use a knife or any sharp

object on the cooktop seal around the outer edge of the glass because

it will cut or damage it.

_ CAUTION: When the

Indicator light will remain lit until

the cooktop surface has cooled to

approximately 150°F. The glass- ceramic surface will retain heat

after the indicator light goes out. Use caution until the cooktop

surface has had time to cool.

Sugar spills (such as jellies, fudge,

candy syrups) or melted plastic can

cause pitting of the cooktop surface unless the spill is removed while it is

still hot Special care should be taken

when removing hot substances

Follow these instructions carefully and remove soil while spill is hot.

Stainless Steel: Highly recommended for use with your new

cooktop, Especially good with a clad

bottom,

Aluminum: Heavyweight aluminum cookware recommended,

Cast Iron: Cast-iron cookware that is completely covered with porcelain

enamel is recommended. Cast iron that is not covered with porcelain

enamel may scratch the glass ceramic surface of the cooktop.

Copper Bottom: Has good performance, but it can leave a

residue on the cooktop surface if allowed to boil dry.

Glass-Ceramic or Stoneware:

Usable Check for rough edges or burrs, which may scratch the cooktop

surface.

When the knobs are turned on, coils

beneath the glass radiate heat through the glass to the cooking utensil It will take a few moments for

the coils to heat; as they do, a red glow can be seen below the surface

of the cooktop.

Every radiant surface unit has a

temperature limiter The temperature limiter protects the

glass cooktop from getting too hot. The temperature limiter may cycle the

units off for a time if:

• The pan boils dry.

• The pan bottom is not flat.

• The pan is off center. ° There is no pan on the unit.

OPERATION

OvenCookingTips

It is normal to have some odor when

using your oven for the first time, To help eliminate this odor, ventilate the

room by opening a window or using

a vent hood,

IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven bottom or oven rack with aluminum foil.

Improper use can cause poor heat flow, poor baking results, and may damage the oven finish. To prevent staining

from spillovers, you may place a piece

of aluminum foil or a cookie sheet on a rack below the food which may spill over

Opening the door often to check foods will cause heat loss and poor

baking results.

Preheating is bringing the oven tempera-

ture up to the temperature you wilt be

using during baking Let the oven preheat when recipes call for preheating. This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.

The low temperature zone of your oven (between 170°F and 200°F)is

available to keep hot cooked foods warm, However, foods should not be kept at

these temperatures longer than 2 hours.

The oven vent is located behind the right rear zone. This area could become hot

during oven use It is normal for steam to come out of the vent and!or collect moisture underneath when the oven is in

use The vent is important for proper air circulation, Never block this vent.

Oven Vent

When using your convenient Delay Start operation, foods such as dairy products,

fish, poultry, etc, should never sit more

OPERATION

OvenCookingTips(cont.)

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such

as butter or margarine (80% fat by

weight--the federal requirement for

products labeled "margarine"). You will get poor results if cakes, pies, pastries,

cookies, or candies are made with low-fat spreads. Low-fat spreads contain less fat and more water. The high moisture

content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of favorite baked

recipes. The lower the fat content of a

spread product, the more noticeable these differences become. To ensure

best results, use margarine, butter, or

stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as

possible, If baking with more than one

pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to tl/2"of air space around it. If baking

four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack 2 and two layers on

rack 4. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other

FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without sides,

allow air to circulate all around the cookies for even browning

The bake element is under the oven floor.

Do not place food on the oven bottom for

cooking.

The Oven Temperature Sensor at the back

of the oven continuously senses and

controls the temperature inside the oven.

To keep a constant set temperature, the

elements will cycle (turn on and off during

cooking),

SHINY PANS reflect heat, and are perfect

for cakes and quick breads that need a

golden brown crust. GLASS, DARK NON-STICK, OR

DARKENED-BY-AGE BAKEWARE absorbs heat and can be used for yeast breads, pie crust, or foods that need a

brown crust. The oven temperature, when using these pans, should be reduced by 25°F.

OPERATION

ConvectionBaking Tips

Convection Baking uses heated air that is circulated over and around

foods by the convection fan located in the back of the oven.. When

convection baking, cooking temperatures used in recipes

should be reduced 25°F

When using 2 racks, place the two racks in positions 2 and 4o

When using 3 racks, place the racks in positions 2, 4, and 6.

METAL OR GLASS

Any type cookware will work in the convection oven. However,

metal pans heat faster and are recommended. Glass pans cook

more slowly. PAPER OR PLASTIC

NOTE: You will hear a fan while

cooking with convection. The fan wil! stop when the door is opened, but the

convection heating element will not turn off.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods

can be baked with excellent results on muitiple racks at the same time.

CAUTION: When you are using the rack in the lowest position (1), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull

the rack out several inches and then, using two potholders, pull the rack out

by holding the sides of it The rack is low and you could be burned if you

place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very

careful not to burn your hand on the door when using a rack in the lowest

position (1).

Heat-resistant paper and plastic that is recommended for regular ovens may be used in your convection oven.

* For cooking foods on multiple rack

positions

, For large quantities of cooking ° Great for cooking biscuits, brownies,

angel food cake, and bread

OPERATION

ConvectionRoastingTips

During Convection Roasting, heat

comes from the top element. The convection fan circulates the heat

evenly around the food

Meats cooked in a convection oven

are dark brown on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. In most

cases cooking time will be less when

using the Convection Roast feature.

Use the recommended roasting

temperature, Preheating is not

necessary, Check foods at the end of suggested time, You may choose to cook longer,

When you are Convection Roasting, you should use the broiler pan and grid that came with your new oven. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease splatterso

To use the Pan and Grid a. Place the oven rack in the lowest

rack position,

b. Place the meat on the broiler pan

and grid.

of Agriculture says

"Rare beef is popular, but you should know

that cooking it to only

140°F means some

food poisoning organisms may

survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your

The U,S, Department of Agriculture

recommends to 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

OPERATION

Broiling

Broiling is cooking by direct heat from

the upper element. The oven door should remain open to the broil stop

position during broiling

It is not necessary to preheat the

oven when broiling. Use the broiler

pan and grid that came with your range. Both are designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids.

molded tightly to the grid

If foil is used it must be and slits cut into the foil

to match those of the grid. This allows fats and liquids to drain

into the broiler pan, preventing

fire and excessive smoke. Always remove the pan and grid

from the oven. Storing or forgetting a soiled broiler panin

the oven is a potential _ _ smoke or fire hazard. _P

_,,, ,_

The US, Department of Agriculture recommends to cook meat and

poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of t60°F

and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food-borne illness.

The closer you place foods to the broil element, the faster foods brown

on the outside yet remain red to pink in the center

Moving meats away from the element will allow the meat to cook to the

center while browning on the outside, Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer than side 2 If your oven is connected to 208 volts, you may want to use a higher rack position and!or broil

foods longer. The size, weight, thickness, starting

temperature, and your preference of the doneness of the meat wil! affect
