SURFACE COOKING UNITS OVEN

....<_t,i_ _

• Use Proper Pan Sizes. This appliance 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 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 Units Unattended at High
Heat Settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.

• 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.

• Be sure you know which control pads operate each surface
unit.

Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

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.

• Use Care When Opening Door. Let hot air or steam

escape before you remove or replace fbod in the oven

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper

installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent

is located above the left rear surface unit. this area could

become hot during oven use. Never block this vent and

never place plastic or heat-sensitive items on vent

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING

• 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 in the self-clean cycle only parts listed in this
manual. Before self-dean the oven, remove the broiler
pan and any utensils of fbods from the oven.

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

• Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of

birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes released during an

oven self-dean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to

birds. Move birds to well-ventilated room.

• Important Instruction. In the event the self-dean mode
F code goes on, or three long beeps sound, oven is

malfunctioning in the self dean mode. Turn off or
disconnect appliance from power supply and have serviced

by a qualified technician.

VENTILATING HOODS:

SURFACES

• 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 materials contact surface units or areas
near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Among these areas are identification of areas - for

example, the cooktop and surfaces facing the eooktop.

• Do Not Cook on Broken CookTop. If eooktop should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cook-top 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.

SMOOTHTOP SURFACE

Cleaning

(see pages 27N28 for more information)

Before first use,clean the cooktop.

Clean your eooktop daily or after each use. This will keep
your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the
spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a

clean dry towel.
Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the

cooktop trim for a long period of time.
Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads

which will scratch the cooktop.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers

not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

To Prevent Marks & Scratches

Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and

pan. These items can mark or scratch the top.
Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans

may leave marks which need to be removed promptly."

(See Cleaning pages 27-28.)

Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before
turning on to prevent scratches.

To prevent scratching or damaging to the glass-ceramic top,
do not leave sugar, salt, or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the
cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before
using.

Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these
may scratch.

To Prevent Stains

Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the
cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains

on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a

permanent stain.

To Prevent Other Damages

Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content
to melt onto the hot eooktop. Should this happen, clean
immediately. (See Cleaning pages 27-28.)

Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and
pan.

Do not use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
Do not cook food directly on the surface.

SMOOTHTOP SURFACE

COOKING AREAS

Smoothtop Surface Notes:

• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few

times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

• Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of

time after the elements are turned off. Turn the
elements off a few minutes before food is completely
cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking.

When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will
cool down enough to touch. Because of the way they retain

heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes
in settings as quickly as coil elements.

• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from
the cooking surface.

• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is
hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface

cools.

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent
circles on the smoothtop surface. For the most efficient
cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch
beyond the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the
smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and offto
maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

For more intbrmation on cookware, refer to Cookware
Recommendations.

USING THE PROPER COOKWARE

HOME CANNING TIPS

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such
as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent
results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food
more evenly. Stainless steel is recommended.

Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge or ruler

1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the

pan.

2. Hold it up to the light,

3. No light should be visible under the
ruler.

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the
element. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms
may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil and
cooktops may be damaged.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on
smooth top surfaces.

Use the high heat setting only until the water comes to a boil
or pressure is reached in the canner.

Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil,
or pressure. If the heat is not turned down,the cooktop may

be damaged.

efficiently and sometimes may

bottom.

:i_l)'l'l!:• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only

does this waste energy, but it can also result in
spillovers burning onto the cooking area which
requires extra cleaning.

• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized

or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled

bottom, and/or oversized canners and griddles.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt

onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not
use. Call an authorized Service agent.
