burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or
reached by small children.
Coil Elements
Oven
Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
For proper oven operation and performance, do not block or obstruct oven vent
duct. When oven is in use, the vent and
surrounding area may become hot enough
to cause burns.
Always place oven racks in desired locations while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder touch hot heating element.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance or on backguard of a range. Children
climbing on appliance, door or drawer to
reach items could damage the appliance
or be burned or seriously injured.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of appliance.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in or on it can be hot. Let
hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of
reach of children. Children should be
taught that an appliance is not a toy and
not to play with controls or other parts of
the unit.
To prevent damage to removable heating
elements, do not immerse, soak or clean in

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.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the
grease pan or disposing of hot grease.
Allow grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
Heating Elements
NEVER touch surface or oven heating
elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven.
Heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface
elements and interior surfaces of an oven
may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements, areas near elements,
or interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include:
Cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent, and surfaces near the vent opening,
oven door, areas around the door and
oven window.
Child Safety
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised where appliance is in use or is hot.
Ventilating Hoods

infinite choice of heat settings is available
from LOW to HIGH. The knobs can be set
on or between any of the settings.
Setting the Controls
1. Place pan on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the knob in either
direction to the desired heat setting.
•
The backguard is marked to
identify which element the
knob controls. For example,
indicates right front
element.
3. There is an indicator light located on
the control panel. When any of the
surface control knobs are turned on,
the light will turn on. The light will
turn off when the surface elements are
turned off.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Re-
move pan.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size, type of cookware and cooking
operation will affect the heat setting. For
information on cookware and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to “Cook-
ing Made Simple” booklet.
Before Cooking
•
Always place a pan on the surface
unit before you turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a pan in
place.
•
NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware.
During Cooking
•
Know which knob controls which
surface unit. Make sure you turned
on the correct surface unit.
•
Begin cooking on a higher heat
setting then reduce to a lower setting to complete cooking. Never
use a high setting for extended
cooking.
•
NEVER allow a pan to boil dry.
This could damage the pan and
the appliance.
•
NEVER touch cooktop until it has
cooled. Expect some parts of the
cooktop, especially around the surface units, to become warm or hot
during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.
CAUTION:
After Cooking
•
Make sure surface unit is turned
off.
•
Clean up messy spills as soon as
possible.
Other Tips
•
If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit
it to items that are infrequently
used and that can be subjected to
heat.
Temperatures may be unsafe for
items such as volatile liquids,
cleaners or aerosol sprays.
•
NEVER leave any 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 any other metal object,
other than a pan on a surface
element, to contact heating elements.
High: Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to
cook.
Medium: Use to
maintain slow
boil for large
amounts of liquids and for
most frying operations.
Low: Use to keep
foods warm and melt
chocolate and butter.
