by cold temperatures.When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

= Know which knob controls each surface heating

unit.

= 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. The use of undersized utensils will expose

a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and

may result in ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk

of burns, ignitionof flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat

settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accu-

mulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven

bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective

liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric

shock or fire or short circuit.

• Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will

become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

FOR COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating

Elements. Surface heating elements should never be immerse inwater. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place. Absence

of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf 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 glass 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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

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 inthe oven / warmer drawer.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the right side of the front panel and visible when the oven door is open. 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/warmer drawer (if equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/ warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. if rack must be

moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposi-

tion. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating ele- ments in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

important Safety instructions

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before

removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN- ING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation

hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not

allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the

hood manufacturer's instructionsfor cleaning.

SELF=CLEANING OVENS

• in the self=cleaning cycle, only clean the parts listed in this Use and Care Guide. 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 is essen-

tial fora good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

= Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left

in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

Setting Surface Controls

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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figure t ). Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only fiat- bottom 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.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases. The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:

- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear positions;

- 2 dual 9 or 12 inch radiant element located at the right and left front positions;

- a Warm & Ready zone radiant element located at the center rear position;

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist section of

this Use and 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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the Hi setting isnormal and can also occur ifthe cookware istoo small for the radiant element or ifthe cookware bottom isnot flat (Refer to page 11for using correct cookware instructionswith the cooktop).

Figure 1

Figure 2

NOTE: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green

when the element is first turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the

glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely

cooled down.

Surface Cooking Settings

Use the table to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Recommended Settings for Single and Dual Surface Elements

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

vegetables MEDIUM LOW (2-4) LOW (Lo - 2)

Keep foods cooking, poach, stew Keep warm, melt, simmer

Radiant surface

elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface indicator light

will come on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has

cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be

hot and burns may occur ifthe glass surface istouched before the indicator light has turned off.

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.

Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)

Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements

The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear (Figure t ) and left rear (Figure 2) element positions.

t. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface

element. Figure 1

2. Push inand turn the surface control knob in either Right Rear Element direction to the desired setting (Figure 3). Turn the knob

to adjust the setting if desired. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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 has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Hot Surface indicator light located on the cooktop glass will come on when the glass becomes hot and will continue to glow until the glass has cooled down to a moderate level.

hands on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot Surface indicator light is OFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Surface Cooking

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating

element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1).

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Figure 2.

Note: The size and type of

cookware used will influence the

setting needed for best cooking

results.

Figure 1

Correct

t t

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be

prepared and the size of the surface element.

• Made of a material that conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match pot diameter to element surface

diameter.

Figure 2

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 itto darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass 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.

Air Circulation in the Oven

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

the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
