To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must :perate your range properly. Tlis section gives
you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.
Using the surface units;
Control knobs must be pushed In before
turning them to a setting. They can be set
anywhere between HI and OFF.
Surface unit markers
The solid dot in the surface unit marker shows
which surface unit is turned on by that knob.
Surface heating indicator light
The SURFACE HEATING Indicator Light on the
control panel will glow when a surface unit is
turned on.
Burn and Fire Hazard
Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF
and all indicator lights are OFF when you
are not cooking.
Someone could be burned or a fire could
start if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.
Until you get used to the aettlngs, uaa the
followlng as a guide. For best results, start
cooking at the high settings; then turn the control
knob down to continue rxrking.

Cookware tips
There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is
best for all people. Knowing something about pan
materials and construction will help you select the
right cooking utensils for your needs.
l
Use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good
contact with the surface units. To check the
flatness of a utensil:
-Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan
by placing a ruler across it.
-Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should
be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.
NOTE: Woks, canners and teakettles with flat
bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are
now available in most houseware stores or
departments.
l
The pan should have straight sides and a tight-
fitting lid.
l
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
pans that are fairly lightweight. Remember that
a very heavy pan will be even heavier when
filled with food.
l
The pan material (metal or glass) affects how
fast heat transfers from the surface unit through
the pan material and how evenly heat spreads
over the pan bottom.
l
Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached to
the pan.
l
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has
boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. lt can overheat
and may damage the utensil or surface unit.
l
Do not use canners, woks and specialty utensils
with rounded, warped, ridged or dented tot-
toms. These could cause severe overheating
which damages the utensil and/or surface unit.
Product Danlege Hazard
If a surface unit stays rel for a long time,
I
the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or
is too small for the suria?s unit. Prolonged
usage of incorrect uterus 1:s for long periods
of time can resutl in damage to the surface
unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas.
To prevent damage, use correct utensils,
start cooking on HI and t IJ rn control down to
continue cooking.
Home canning information
To protect your range:
l
Use flat-bottomed canners for best results. Do
not use canners with dented or ridged (porcelain enamel-ware) bottoms. They do not make
good contact with the surface unit and cause
severe overheating which damages the
=-)P-
l
For best results, use the largest surface unit.
Also, use a canner which can be centered over

the cooktop.
tf you plan to use the cot CIop for canning, we
recommend the installatio’n trf a Canning Kit.
Order the kit (Part No. 24:2!05) from your

service company.
the surface unit. Large diameter canners, if not
properly centered, trap heat and can cause
damage to the cooktop.
l
Do not place canner on twu surface units at the
same time. Excessive heat build-up will damage
the cooktop.
l
Start with hot water. This reduces the time the
control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to
lowest position needed to keep water boiling.
l
Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat
ref &ion.
l
To prolong the life of the elements:
-Prepare small batches at a time.
-Do not use elements for canning all day.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roasting with one rack, the rack
should be placed so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1’12 to
2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan
and the oven walls and other pans.
For proper cooklng, follow these guldellnes
for speclfk foods:
. Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen
pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on
