RANGE SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol. "WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot. Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.

See the installation instructions for details. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children

and adults.

Anti-Tip Bracket

Range Foot

Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:

• Slide range forward.

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.

• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, injuryto 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 back- guard of a range - children climbing on the range to

reach items could be seriously injured.

• Proper Insta(lation - Be sure the range is properly (nsta(led and grounded by a qualified technician.

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

• Do Not Leave Children A(one - Children should not be left a(one 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 specifica(ly recommended in the

manua(. A(I other servicing should be referred to a

qua(ified technician.

• Storage in or on the Range - Flammable mater(a(s

should not be stored in an oven or near surface

units.

• 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 UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Areas near surface

units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

other flammable materia(s contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to coo(. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

• Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select

utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of under-

sized 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 Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite.

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in

Place - Absence of these pans or bowls during

cooking may subject wiring or components under- neath to damage.

• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, 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 Units - 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 units.

• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements -

Heating elements should never be immersed in

water.

• 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat

level. It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to

change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see "General Cleaning" section.

• Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.

• Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

• Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface indicator light goes off. If not wiped up while warm, surface pitting can occur.

• Lift pots and pans on and off the cooktop. Sliding pots, pans and skillets that have aluminum or copper bases could leave permanent scratches and marks on the cooktop.

• Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

• Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

• Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

• Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm)

outside the area.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or

dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While rotating the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the

cookware. Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small

expansion channels can be used. Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry

before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

BEFORE USING

BAKEWARE

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2 in. (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

NUMBEROF POSITION ON RACK PAN(S)

1 Center of rack.

Odors are normal when the range is new. This happens the first time the oven is used.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to

certain birds. Always move birds to another room.

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the

oven bottom finish.

• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.

• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

• When convection cooking, do not cover food with aluminum foil.

IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain

finish.

RACKS Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks

with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift

out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.

2 Side by side or slightly staggered.

3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure

that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer's recommendations and use the bakeware size

recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

• Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat 1/2 in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

• Check all meat intwo or three places.

1. Oven vent

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Doing so will

cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn

near the oven vent.

1. Oven door vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the door vent during certain oven modes. Some condensation may occur, however this will not affect cooking performance.

OVEN USE

1. Broil heat

2. Bake heat

The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating casseroles.

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.

If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil element will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.

To Bake or Roast: Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the

"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

1. Press BAKE. Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than

350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2. Press STAR]_ "Lo °'' will appear on the oven display if the actual oven

temperature is under 170°F (77°C). When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the

oven display will show the temperature increasing in 5° increments.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.

3. Press CANCEL OFF when finished cooking.

!. Broil Maxi 2. Broil Econo

Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.

For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to prevent curling.

Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Use MAXI/ECONO for broiling regular-sized and smaller cuts of meat, poultry and fish. MAXl Broil uses both top elements for maximum browning coverage of foods. ECONO Broil uses the inner element for browning coverage only in the center of foods.

Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.

To Vari Broil:

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a

standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more

evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 25°F to 50°F and cooking time can be shortened by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.

• It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.

• Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door when necessary.

• Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

• Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as a toothpick.

• Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in two or three places.

1. Convection element heat and fan

Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.

During convection baking preheat, the convection and broil elements and the bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection element and the bake element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection baking or preheating, the broil and convection element and fan will turn off immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.

• Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.

To Convection Bake: Before convection baking, position racks according to the

"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When using two racks, place on guides 2 and 4. When using three racks, place on guides 1,3 and 5.

1. Press CONVECTION BAKE. Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than

325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2. Press START. "Lo °'' will appear on the oven display if the actual oven

temperature is under 170°F (77°C). When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the

oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in 5° increments.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.

3. Press CANCEL OFF when finished cooking.

Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry, or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack. During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the broil element and fan will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is

closed.

• Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.

To Convection Roast: Before convection roasting, position racks according to the

"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This holds the food above the grid and allows air to circulate completely around all surfaces.

2. Press START. "Lo °'' will appear on the oven display if the actual oven

temperature is under 170°F (77°C). When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the

oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in 5° increments.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.

3. Press CANCEL OFF when finished cooking.
