Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off

before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. 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 element will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements_Te reduce the risk of burns, ignition

of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does net extend over adjacent surface

units.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boilevers cause smoking and greasy spillevers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements-- Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, de net place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

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

hot use extreme caution. Use pethelders and grasp the rack with both hands to repositien. De not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack

before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high

heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with alumin um foil. Exposed fat

and grease could ignite.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.

Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock, or fire.

Setting Surface Controls

To Operate the Surface Elements:

Place cooking utensil on the surface element.

Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired

setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a

lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly

on a particular setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

When cooking iscompleted, turn the surface element off before removing the

pan. Note: The surface "Element On" indicator light(s) will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator light(s) when

cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

Note: See page 8 for suggested surface control settings for different types of

food.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,

spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.

These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

Setting Surface Controls

To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (If equipped)

The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select element as you would any normal surface element on the medium to high settings.

The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select featu re. This featu re allows the element to heat at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. This allows you to precisely simmer delicate foods.

You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at any time during the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob indicator between MAX and MIN for simmering or between MED and HI for normal cooking.

NOTE: The element will not operate if the knob is positioned in the space between MAX and MED.
