authorized Maytag servicer.

BEFORE COOKING

- Always place a pan on the surface unit before _ou turn it
on To prevent damage to range, never operate surface

unit without a pan in place

o NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food ou

cookware

DURING COOKING

o Be sure you know which knob controls which surface

unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit

o Begin cooking on a higher beat setting then reduce to a

lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a
high beat setting for extended cooking.

° NEVER allow a pan to aoil dry. This could damage [he

pan and the appliance.

- NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some

parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units.

te become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders
to protect hands.

AFTER COOKING

- Make sure surface unit is turned off,
o Clean up messy spills as soon as possible

OTHER TIPS

o ffcabinet storage is provided directly above cooking

surface, reit it to terns that are infrequently used and
can be safel] stored in an area subjected to heat.
Temperatures may be unsate for items such as volatile

liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays,

- NEVER leave an_ items, especially plastic items, on the
cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable

items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in

closed containers causing them to burst.

- NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or an_ other

metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to

contact heating elements.

° NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could

fall and damage Jr.

S oothtop Surface

Smoothtop Su ace Rotes:

, 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 element is turned off. Turn the dements off
a few minutes before food is compbtdy cooked and use

the retained heat to compbte cooking. When the hot
surface Hightturns off, the cooking area win be coon

enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the
smoothtop dements win not respond to changes in

settings asqubHy as coindements.

° In the event of a potendai boibver, remove the pan from

the cooking surface.
, Never attempt to lift the cooktopo
° The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is

hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface

cools.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent

circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,
fit the pan size to the element size.

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

When a control is turned on, aglow carl be seen through the

smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to
maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

Tips to Protect the
Smoothtop Surface

C_ea_ing (see page 21 for more information}
° Before first use, clean the cooktop.

° Clean your cooktop 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.

° Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads

which will scratch the cooktop.

° Never 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.
, Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and

pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

° Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans

may leave marks which need to be removed promptly.
(See Cleaning, page 21.}

, Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before

turning on to prevent scratches.

, To prevent scratching or damage 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.

, Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since

these may scratch.

To Prevent Stains

Never 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 Damage

° Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content

to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean
immediately. (SeeCleaning, page 21.}

° Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and

pan.

° Neverusecook,topasawork`surfaceorcuttingboard.

Coekware Recommendations

Using the right cook,ware can prevent many proMems, such
as food taking Hongerto cook`or achieving inconsistent

resuHts.Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less
energy, and cook`food more evenly.

Flat Pan Tests

See if your pans are flat.

The Ruler Test:

1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.

2. Hold it up to the light.

3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.

The Bubble Test:

1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Placeon cook,top and turn
control to High.

2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.
Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven

bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cook,ing.

See "Cooking Made Simple" booklet for more information.

Secure handles. Cook,warewith loose or broken handles.

Heavy handles that tilt the pan.

Tight-fitting lids. Loose-fitting lids.

Flat bottom wok,s. Wok,swith a ring-stand bottom.

Canning and Oversize

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and
must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical

on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than

1 inch larger than the element.

When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking
times may be longer, and cook,tops may be damaged.

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

When canning, 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 cook,top may be
damaged.

up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well

ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Seff-Cmeaning

1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn

2. Remove all pans and oven racks from the oven. The oven
racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-

clean cycle if they are not removed.

3. Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and

around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive
cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The

self-cleaning process does not clean these areas. They
should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during

the clean cycle. (The gasket is the
seal around the oven door and --_- /_

4. To prevent damage, do not clean or
rub the gasket around the oven

door. The gasket is designed to
seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom.

This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a
broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not

damage the oven.

After Serf-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the seg-dean cycle, LOCK
will turn off. The door can then be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove
it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means

the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be re-
moved during the next clean cycle.

if oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports

with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to
move.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain becaase it went
throagh heating and cooling. This is normal and will not
affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean

cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect perfor-
mance.

° If the oven door is left open, "door" will flash in the

display and a signal will beep until the door is closed
and the Clean pad is pressed again.

° If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the

Clean pad and the Autoset 0 pad, the program will

automatically return to the previous display.

° The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is

forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.
