Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death or fire.

Power failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may

become hot.

LIGHTING STANDING PILOTS Before the range is used, standing pilot must be lighted. It will

stay lighted even after the burners are turned off. To Light Surface Burner Pilots:

1. Make sure all controls are turned off.

2. Remove the suface grates from cooktop.

3. Place a lighted match through small holes located between the front and rear burners on cooktop. The pilot flame should be seen through each pilot hole.

Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.

To Set Burner Control:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the

control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

Formoreinformation,contactyourlocalU.S.Government AgriculturalDepartmentExtensionOffice.Companiesthat

manufacturehomecanningproductscanalsooffer assistance.

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. Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is

transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

*Aluminum

Cast iron

Ceramic or Ceramic glass

5. Replace the burner cap.

6. Replace surface burner grates.

7. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact atrained repair specialist.

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, only use flat-bottomed canners. On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit

is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element will be shortened. See "Assistance or Service" for ordering

instructions.

*Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly. Earthenware • Follow manufacturer's instructions.

• Use on low heat settings.

The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and grid pull out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and

oven doors closed.

• Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is open.

• Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler door during broiling.

• Do not use broiler drawer for storage.

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and

smoke.

• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier

cleaning.

• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to prevent curling.

Pull out broiler pan to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to

be turned.

• 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.
