RANGESAFETY

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.

Therange will not tip during normal use.However,the range cantip ifyou apply too much force orweight 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

backguard of a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

[] Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

[] Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the

Room.

[] Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not

be left alone 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 specifically recommended in the

manual. All other servicing should be referred to a

qualified technician.

[] Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials

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 materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time

to cool. 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 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 - 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 underneath 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.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

COOKTOP USE

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. The controls can be set anywhere between MAX and

OFR On models with Ceramic Glass, the controls work on the principle

of percent on, percent off. When the control is turned to setting 5, the element will be on 50% of the time.

Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

Power On Lights

The Power On lights beside the control knobs indicate which surface elements are turned on. A Power On light will glow when its corresponding surface element is turned on.

The simmer element is identified on the disc in the center of the element. This element can maintain lower temperatures for

preparation of foods that require very low heat such as sauces, chocolate or cheese.

MAX • To start foods cooking.

• To bring liquids to a boil.

9-7 • To hold a rapid boil.

• To quickly brown or sear meat.

6-4 • Tocook gravy, pudding and sauce.

• Tofry poultry or meat.

• To maintain a slow boil.

LOW • To keep foods warm.

• To melt chocolate.

• Precise simmer control.Simmer Element

(on some models)

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire

cooktop area may become hot.

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before

or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or

sickness.

Use the Warming Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.

Do not use it to heat cold foods. The Warming Element can be used alone or when any of the

other surface cooking areas are being used. The Warming Element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Warming Element area is

too hot to touch.

• Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use.

• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.

• Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food. 0

To Use:

1. Set switch to ON.

2. Set switch to OFF when finished.

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 you rotate 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.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

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 onto 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.

For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly; then, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on

cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or 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, such as 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.

HOT Surface Indicator Lights

Single HOT surface indicator light (on some models)

• Four or five HOT surface indicator lights (on other models)

• Five HOT surface indicator lights (on models equipped with Warming Element)

The HOT surface indicator lights on the cooktop surface will glow when their corresponding surface elements are turned on. The HOT surface indicator lights will continue to glow as long as the elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.

NOTE: Heat from the oven vent may cause the left rear HOT surface indicator light to glow to show that the area is too warm

to touch.

The cooktop light is in the top of the control console. The switch is on the control console. Push the switch to turn the light on. The light may take a few seconds to light up.

To Remove:

1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.

Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

3. Lift out the burner bowl.

To Replace:

1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element receptacle.

The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath. Be careful not to drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and the cooktop frame. For more information, see the "General Cleaning" section.

To Lift:

1. Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into place.

To Replace:

1. Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support rods back to unlock them.

2. Slowly lower the cooktop into place.

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

• Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in.

(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

• Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.

• On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.

• On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil

element will be shortened.

• For more information, contact Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home canning products can

also offer assistance.

2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push coil element terminal into the receptacle.

3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the receptacle.

IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well- fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy

thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper

may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
