RANGE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to 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 cook-top and surfaces facing the cook-top.
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.

Home canning information
To protect your range:
Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of
•
1" 1"
Surface cooking area
centered correctly, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.
Do not place your canner on two coil elements at
•
the same time. The type of material the canner is made of
•
determines the length of heating time. Refer to the “Characteristics of cookware materials” chart later in this section for more information.
When canning for long periods of time, allow
•
elements and the surrounding surfaces to cool down.
Pan
cooktops. Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do not allow good contact with the surface.
Center the canner over
•
the largest coil element. Do not extend more than one inch outside the coil element. Large diameter canners/pans, if not
Alternate use of the coil elements between
•
batches or prepare small batches at a time. Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring
•
to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.
On coil element model, keep your reflector bowls
•
clean so that they will always reflect heat well. For up-to-date information on canning, contact
•
your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products.
Optional canning kit
Most water-bath or pressure canners have large diameters. If you do canning with them at high heat settings for long periods of time, you can shorten the life of regular coil elements. This can also damage the cooktop. If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your dealer or authorized service company.
Cookware tips
Select a pan that is about the same size as the
•
surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) outside the area.
For best results and greater energy
•
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware that makes good contact with the surface cooking area. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms
•
or small expansion channels can be used.
Cookware with a non-stick finish has heating
•
characteristics of the base material. Use flat bottom cookware for best heat conduction
•
from the surface cooking area to the cookware. Determine flatness with the ruler test. Place the edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. Hold it up to the light. No light should be visible under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all directions and look for any light.
Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which
•
has boiled dry, on a hot surface cooking area. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or the surface cooking area.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the coil element through the pan mater ial and how evenly heat spreads over t he pan bottom. C hoose pans that provide the best cooking results.
Aluminum
Cast iron
Ceramic or ceramic glass
Copper
Earthenware
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or enamel-on-cast iron
Stainless steel
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
• Heats s lo wly a nd uneve nly.

USING THE OVEN

Positioning racks and pans
Place the oven racks where you need them before turning on the oven.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise
•
the front edge and lift it out. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
•
Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
•
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot. For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the
•
rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks
•
on the 2nd and 4th rack guides.Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake time. Increase baking time, if necessary.
For best results allow 2 inches of space around
•
each pan and between pans and oven walls.
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven
for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE
1 pan 2 pans
3 or 4 pans
PLACE
In center of the oven rack. Side by side or slightly
staggered. In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD
Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys, angel food cakes
Bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroles, meats
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies
RACK POSITION

USING ALUMINUM FOIL

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or
•
casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than dish.
Do not cover the entire
•
rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circula­tion and give you poor cooking results.
USING YOUR RANGE
Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other liners.
•
It could affect the oven surface as well as the quality of your baking.
Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry
•
to slow down surface browning for long term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.
Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if
•
browning too quickly.

ADJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL (MODEL FES330G)
Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.
If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below.
NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an incorrect reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.
1. Press and hold CLOCK for 5 seconds.
The display will show the time of day. Then you will see the current offset temperature, for example “00,” if you have not already adjusted the temperature.
2. Set the new offset temperature.
Press s to raise the temperature or t to lower the temperature in 10°F amounts. You can set the temperature change to as low as -30°F or as high as +30°F. A minus (-) sign will appear before the number when decreasing the temperature setting. The minus sign shows the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign in front of the number when increasing the temperature setting.
3. Press CLOCK to enter the offset temperature.

Broiling guidelines
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They
•
are designed to drain extra juices from the cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent spatter and smoke.
To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
•
the grid with foil. Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat
•
on the edges to prevent curling. Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.
•
Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For best results, place food 3 inches or more from the broil element.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning
•
or removing food. After broiling, remove the pan from the oven
•
when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan
•
with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as soon as possible after each use.

THE OVEN VENT

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent under the left rear coil element. You can cook on this coil element or keep food warm on it while the oven is on. The vent is needed for air circulation. Do not block the vent by using extra large pans or covers. You will get poor baking/ roasting results.
NOTE: Never leave plastic utensils over the vent. They could melt.

THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight 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.
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.

THE STORAGE DRAWER

Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can remove the storage drawer to make it easier to clean under your range.
Removing the storage drawer:
1. Empty the drawer before you remove it. Pull the
drawer straight out to the first stop. (The stops are small, round objects formed in the slide rail. They keep the drawer from sliding all the way out.) Then lift the front of the drawer and pull it out to the second stop.
2. Lift the back of the drawer slightly and slide it all
the way out.
Replacing the storage drawer:
1. Position the drawer so that the lower drawer
guides rest just inside the front frame lip.
2. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in until the
metal stops on the drawer slide rails clear the upper drawer guides. Then slide the drawer closed.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

(MODEL FES330G)
wWARNING
Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.
BEFORE YOU START
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:
Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot
•
enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
Do not let water, cleaner, etc.,enter slots on door
•
and frame. Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
•
cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven. Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
•
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as
•
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is heated to a high temperature in the Self­Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or pitting.
Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
•
them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide. (See the “Cleaning chart” in the “Caring for Your Range” section.) If you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides are counted from bottom to top.)
Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is ex­tremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.
TIPS:
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
•
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.
Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
•
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results. Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
•
may melt. Do not leave any foil in the oven during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
The oven light will not work during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle.
DO NOT hand-clean gasket

Turn the oven control knob to OFF.
HOW THE CYCLE WORKS (MODEL FES330G)
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.
Your oven is automatically preset for a 31⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle.
The graph at the right shows you what happens in a 31⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notice that the heating stops 1⁄2 hour before the 31⁄2-hour setting is up.

2. Line openings in the reflector bowl with the coil
element receptacle.
3. Hold the coil element as level as possible with
the terminal just started into the receptacle. Push the coil element terminal into the receptacle.
CARING FOR YOUR RANGE
4. 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.
NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the cookware on the coil elements. They also help catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.

LIFT-UP COOKTOP

NOTE: Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could result to the porcelain and the cooktop frame.
1. Lift the front of the cooktop at both front corners
until the support rods lock into place.
2. Wipe the surface under the cooktop with warm,
soapy water and a sponge. Use a soapy steel­wool pad on heavily soiled areas.
3. To lower the cooktop, lift the cooktop from both
sides while pressing the support rods back to unlock them. Lower the cooktop into place.
If a reflector bowl changes color, some of your cookware may not be flat enough, or some may be too large for the coil element. In either case, some of the heat that is meant to go into or around cookware goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This extra heat can cause it to change color.
