IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, injury to persons, or damage when using
the range, follow basic precautions, including the
following:

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping

of the range, the range must be secured by

properly installed anti-tip devices. To check if
the devices are installed properly, slide range
forward, look for anti-tip bracket securely
attached to floor, and slide range back so rear

range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to

children in cabinets above a range or on the

backguard of a range - children climbing on the

range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

• Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating
the Room.

• Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should
not be left alone or unattended in area where the
range is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the range.

• Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using
the range.

• User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part
of the range unless specifically recommended in

the manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.

• Storage in or on the Range - Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven or

near surface cooking zones.

• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother
fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type

extinguisher.

• Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot
heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE COOKING ZONES
OR AREAS NEAR THEM - Surface Cooking Zones

may be hot even though they are dark in color.

Areas near surface cooking zones may become

hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface cooking zones or areas

near them until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and

surfaces facing the cooktop.

• Use Proper Pan Size - The range _sequipped
with one or more surface cooking zones of
different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms

large enough to cover the surface cooking zone

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 burner will also

improve efficiency.

• Never Leave Surface Cooking Zones Unattended
at High Heat Settings - Boilover causes smoking

and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to
line oven bottom, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and

Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Cooking

Zones - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle
of a utensil should be positioned so that it is
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent

surface cooking zones.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a

risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified

technician immediately.

• Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some

cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied
to a hot surface.

• Use Care When Opening Door- Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers -

Build-up of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

• Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating

elements may be hot even though they are dark
in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other flammable

materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may

become hot enough to cause burns - among

these surfaces are oven vent openings and

surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and

windows of oven doors.

For self-cleaning ranges -

• 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.

• 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.

• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler
pan and other utensils.

For units with ventilating hood -

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on hood
or filter.

• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.

• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not
use plastic wrap to cover food because it may

melt onto the cooktop surface. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover

for moisture to escape.

• Use only cookware and dishes recommended for
oven and cooktop use.

• Use potholders or oven mitts to remove cookware.

• The STEADYTEMP warming zone will not glow
red when it is on, unlike the surface cooking

zones. However, the surface indicator light on the

control panel will glow.

• Cookware and dishes should have a flat bottom to

make direct contact with the cooktop surface.

USING THE SURFACE COOKING ZONES (contd.)

Cooking on the radiant lass cooktop is similar

to cooking on coil
elements. There are,

however, a few

_ differences:

_j% _'P _ • The surface cooking

zone will glow red when

('_----_) tile element is turned on

You will see the element
cycling on and off- even

on the HI setting - to

prevent the glass from overheating.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

• Sugary or starch spills, boilovers, and some soils
can cause pitting. Wipe as soon as the hot

surface indicator light goes off. Rinse thoroughly
and dry. See "Cleaning the radiant glass

cooktop" in the "Caring for Your Range" section.

p. 36. for more information. '

• Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged
aluminum containers on the cooktop. The

container could leave aluminum marks on the
cooktop that cannot be removed completely.

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are
clean and dry before using them. Food and water

particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits
on the cooktop when it is heated.

Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop.
Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave
marks that are difficult to remove or could leave

permanent marks.

Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop
could crack it Be careful when using heavy
skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans
above the cooktop.

Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
13onot allow anything that could melt, such as

plastic salt and pepper shakers, to come in
contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use
will help keep the surface free from stains and

give you the most even heating. See "Cleaning
the radiant glass cooktop" in the "Caring for Your

Range" section, p. 36, for care and cleaning
suggestions.

To protect your range:

Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of

cooktops, especially

centerover

' .....

Su_ace Pan
cooking zone

radiant glass. Canners
with rippled or ridged

bottoms do not allow

good contact with the
surface.

• Center the canner
over the largest surface

cooking zone. Do not
extend more than one

inch outside the surface

cooking zone. Large diameter canners/pans, if not
centered correctly, trap heat and can cause
damage to the cooktop.

• Do not place your canner on two surface cooking
zones at the same time.

• The type of material the canner is made of
determines the length of heating time. Refer to

the "Characteristics of cookware materials" chart,
p. 11.

When canning for long periods of time, allow
surface cooking zones and the surrounding

surfaces to cool down.
Alternate use of the surface cooking zones

between batches or prepare small batches at a

time.
Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring

to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or

required pressure levels in a pressure canner.
For up-to-date information on canning, contact

your local U.S. Government Agricultural
Department Extension Office or companies who

manufacture home canning products.

10

USING THE SURFACE COOKING ZONES (contd.)

• Select a pan that is about the same size as the

surface cooking zone. Cookware should not
extend more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) outside the zone.

• For best results and greater energy
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware that

makes good contact with the surface cooking
zone. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed

(such as some porcelain enamelware), or dented
bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor

cooking results.

• Cookware designed with slightly indented bot-
toms or small expansion channels can be used.

• Cookware with a non-stick finish has heating
characteristics of the base material.

• Check for rough spots on the bottom of metal or
glass cookware which will scratch the radiant glass

surface.

• Use flat-bottom cookware for best heat
conduction from the surface cooking zone to the

cookware. Determine flatness with the ruler test.
Place the edge of a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware. Hold it up to the light. No light should be

visible under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in at!
directions and look for any light.

• Do not leave empty cookware, or eookware which
has boiled dry, on a hot surface cooking zone. The
cookware could overheat, causing damage to the

cookware or the surface cooking zone.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking zone through the pan material and

how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

• Use for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Ceramic or • Heats slowly and unevenly.
ceramic glass • Use on low to medium settings.

• Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.

• Used as a core or base in coekware to provide even heating.

Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the

manufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel or • See cast iron and stainless steel.

enamel-on-cast iron

Stainless steel * Heats quickly but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides
even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

11

USING THE OVEN

The integrated handle area makes pulling out the
STURDIGLIDE rack simple. The opening is large
enough for a potholder or oven mitt.

• For best results, allow 2 inches of space around

}) _ each pan and between

pans and oven walls. Hot
air must circulate around

Q the pans in the oven for
O-- _ _, even heat to reach all

__ parts of the oven. This

results in better baking.

BAKEWARE CHOICES

Baking performance is affected by the type of bakeware used. Use the bakeware size recommended inthe recipe.

BAKEWARE TYPE BEST USED FOR GUIDELINES

Light colored aluminum • Light golden crusts ', Use temperature and time recommended

• Even browning in recipe.

Dark aluminum and other • Brown, crisp crusts * May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
bakeware with dark, dull. ° Use suggested baking time.
and/or non-stick finish • Use temperature and time recommended in recipe

for pies, breads, and casseroles.

• Place rack in center of oven.

Ovenproof glassware, • Brown, crisp crusts • May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
ceramic glass, or ceramic

Insulated cookie sheets or * Little or no bottom browning * Place in the bottom third of oven.
baking pans * May need to increase baking time.

Stainless steel ° Light, golden crusts ° May need to increase baking time.

• Uneven browning

Stoneware °Crisp crusts ° Follow manufacturer's instructions.

USING ALUMINUM FOIL

• Do not line the oven bottom with any type of
foil, liners, or cookware. Permanent damage

will occur to the oven bottom finish.

• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.

Doing so will reduce air circulation and overall

oven performance.

• To catch spillovers from pies or casseroles place
foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned

up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than
dish.

• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or
poultry to slow down surface browning for long

term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust
edges if browning too quickly.
