SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units
or heating elements and may cause severe
burns.
Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot
surface units or heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
For your safety never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a wellfitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the door and turning
the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact, the
surface units, areas nearby
the surface units
or any interior area of
the oven; allow
sufficient
time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent
opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around
the oven door and metal trim parts above
the door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when
the door is opened.
Do not store or use combustible
materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to
maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.

OVEN
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service, others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
the handle of a container should be turned
toward the center of the range without
extending over nearby surface units.
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
SURFACE UNITS-ALL MODELS
Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will exposed portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Using the surface units.
In a quiet kitchen, you may hear
slight clicking sounds during cooking,
indicating heat settings selected are being
maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings always
shows a quicker change in temperature
than switching to lower settings.
Surface Cooking Controls
Your surface units and controls are designed
to give you a variety of heat settings for surface
unit cooking.
At both LO and Hl positions, there is
a slight niche so control clicks at those
positions; Hl marks the highest setting;
LO, the lowest setting.
How to Set the Controls
Push the control knob in.
Turn either clockwise or
counterclockwise to desired
heat setting.
Control must be pushed in to set only
from the 0FF position.
When control is in any position
other than OFF, you can turn it without
pushing in.
Be sure you turn control to OFF when
you finish cooking. An indicator light
will glow wen ANY surface unit is on.
A Burner On indicator light will glow
when any surface unit is on.
Heat Setting Guide
Hl —Quick start for cooking; bring water
to boil.
MEDIUM HIGH—Fast fry, pan broil;
maintain fast boil on large amount
of food.
MED — Saute and brown; maintain slow
boil on large amount of food.
MEDIUM LOW-Cereal; maintain serving
temperature of most foods.
NOTE:
LO — Cook after starting at HI; cook
with little water in covered pan. Use to
steam rice.
At Hl or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave
food unattended. Boilovers cause
smoking; greasy spillovers may
catch fire.
At LO, melt chocolate, butter on
small unit.
Cooking Tips
Use medium- or heavyweight
cookware. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat faster than other
metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron
cookware is slow to absorb heat,
but generally cooks evenly at low or
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with
other metals.
Do not overfill cookware with fat
that may spill over when adding food.
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch
foods frying at high temperatures.
Keep range and hood clean from
accumulated grease.
To conserve the most cooking energy,
pans should be flat on the bottom,
have straight sides and tight-fitting
lids. Match the size of the saucepan
to the size of the surface unit. A pan
that extends more than an inch
beyond the edge of the drip pan
traps heat, which causes “crazing”
(fine hairline cracks) on porcelain,
and discoloration ranging from blue
to dark gray on chrome drip pans.

Using the oven.
The OVEN TEMP knob is located on the control panel on the front of the range.
The shelves are designed with stop-locks
so when placed correctly on the shelf
supports, they will stop before coming
completely out of the oven and will not
tilt when you are removing food from
them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull
the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the
oven. This will eliminate reaching into
the hot oven.
The oven has four shelf supports—A
(bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested
on Baking and Roasting pages.
If desired, a sheet of aluminum
foil may be used on the floor of the
oven under the bake element.
Be certain foil does not touch bake
element. Aluminum foil used in this
way may slightly affect the browning
of some foods. Change foil when it
becomes soiled.
The Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven
reaches your selected temperature, then goes off
and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking.
To remove the shelves from the oven, pull
them toward you, tilt front end upward
and pull them out.
To replace, place shelf on shelf support
with stop-locks (curved extension of
shelf) facing up and toward back of oven.
Tilt up front and push shelf toward back
of oven until it goes past the bump on
the shelf support. Then lower front of
shelf and push it all the way back.
DO NOT place a sheet of aluminum
foil on the shelf. To do so may result
in improperly cooked foods, damage
to oven finish and increase in heat
on outside surfaces of the oven.
You may use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the
grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do yourself!
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20—40°F.
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself.
NOTE:This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment wilI be retained after a power faiIure.
Each click will change the oven
temperature approximately 10°F.
(Range is plus or minus 60°F from
the arrow.) We suggest that you make
the adjustement one click from the
original setting and check oven
performance before making any
additional adjustments.
Replace the knob, matching the flat
area of the knob to the shaft, and
check performance.
After the adjustment is made, retighten
screws so they are snug, but be
careful not to overtighten.
To Adjust the Thermostat with this Type of Knob
To increase the oven temperature,
move the top screw toward the right.
You’ll hear a click for each notch you
move the knob.
Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range
and Iook at the back side.
To make an adjustment, loosen
(approximately one turn), but do
not completely remove, the two
screws on the back of the knob.
With the back of the knob facing
you, hold the outer edge of the knob
with one hand and turn the front of
the knob with the other hand.
To decrease the oven temperature,
move the top screw toward the left.

The type of margarine wiII affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed
using high fat products such as butter or
margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the
recipe may not give the same results as with a
higher fat product.
Federal standards require products labeled
“margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with your old favorite recipes,
use margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries,
cookies or candies are made with Iow fat spreads.
The Iower the fat content of a spread product, the
more noticeable these differences become.

Care and cleaning of the range.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the insides
of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Control knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides,
control panel, door and kick panel.
Clean these with soap and water or a
vinegar and water solution.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup
ammonia in a shallow glass pan and leave
in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior
will retain ¡ts attractive finish for many years.
Soap and water wiIl normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleanser. Soapy, wet pads may also be
used. Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause dull spots even after cleaning.
When necessary, you may use a
commercial oven cleaner. FolIow the
package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven
cleaners:
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the
outside oven door, handles or any
exterior surface of the oven, cabinet
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
Do not spray the oven cleaner on the
electrical controls and switches because
it could cause a short circuit and result
in sparking or fire.
Do not directly spray oven cleaner
onto the oven heating elements.
Do not allow a film from the
cleaner to remain on the temperature
sensor—it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. (The sensor is located
at the top of the oven.) Carefully
wipe the bulb clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to
move the sensor since a change in
its position could affect how the oven
bakes.

avoided. lf cabinet storage space is to be
provided above the cooktop, the risk can be
reduced by ¡nstalling a range hood that
protrudes at least 5” beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop
may be no deeper than 13”.
Flooring under the range
Your range, Iike many other household items,
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of
flooring, it should be installed on a 1/4”
thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)
as foIlows:
When the floor covering ends at the front
of the range, the area that the range will
rest on should be built up with plywood
to the same level or higher than the floor
covering. This wiIl allow the range to be
moved for cleaning or servicing.
