We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or

"WARNING." These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

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.

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.

Use the following chart as a guide.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

LIGHT • To light the burner. POWERTMBurner • To provide highest heat

.......(!e_ fr0nt burner )...................................................setting: .............................................................................................................................................................................................................

HIGH • To start food cooking.

• To bring liquid to a boil. ....

Mid-range • To hold a boil. (between HIGH • To fry chicken or pancakes.

and LOW) • For gravy, pudding, and icing.

• To cook large amounts of vegetables.

Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time

you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.

• Place a filled pan on the burner grate before turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a

burner for extended periods of time without having cookware on the grate.

• Push in the control knob and turn it counter-

clockwise to the

LIGHT position. The

clicking sound is the

ignitor sparking. Make

sure the burner has lit.

• To stop the clicking

sound after the burner

lights, turn the control knob to the cook

setting you want. You can set the control

knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW.

NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same time. However, the burner with the control knob

turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.

LOW • To keep food warm.

• To simmer.

ACCUSlMMERTM • To provide lowest setting simmer/heat setting. (right rear burner) • To melt chocolate or butter.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The

cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or cooking product.

¸iii , li i,i i i!iiiii!!i!iiiill

POWER Burner is an adjustable setting for the left front burner which provides an ultra-high heat setting. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to

cook large quantities of food.

ACCUSIMMER is an adjustable setting for the right rear burner. It allows more accurate simmer control at

the lowest setting.

• To help shorten your cooking time, use the least amount of liquid possible.

• Preheat your pots and pans only when

recommended and for the shortest time possible.

• Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to

the LIGHT position. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the setting you want.

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long

periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop. To protect your range:

• Center the canner over the surface burner. Do not extend more than 1 inch outside the burner

area.

• Do not place your canner on two surface burners

at the same 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.

• Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.

For up-to-date information on canning, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department

Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products.

• The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) cookware.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats.

• When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to

make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.

• To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are centered on the grates.

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
