•

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.

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

Stoneware

BEST USED FOR

• Light golden crusts

• Even browning

• Brown, crisp crusts

• Little or no bottom browning • Place in the bottom third of oven.

• Light, golde n crusts

• Uneven browning

• Crisp crusts

GUIDELINES

• Use temperature and time recommended in recipe.

• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.

• Use suggested baking time.

• Use temperature and time recommended in recipe for pies, breads, and casseroles.

• Place rack in center of oven.

• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.

• May need to increase baking time.

• Follow manufacturer's ins tructions.

USING ALUMINUM FOIL

Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other liners.

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.

•

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.

BROILING (CONT.)

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.

USING YOUR RANGE

THE STORAGE DRAWER

Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can remove the drawer to make it easier to clean under the 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

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.

DO NOT hand-clean gasket

2. Set the cleaning time (optional).

If you want a Self-Cleaning cycle longer or shorter than 31⁄2 hours, use the hour and minute pads to set the cleaning time you want. Press the “up” (s) or “down” (t) pad(s) until a time between 21⁄2-41⁄2 hours shows on the display.

Use 21⁄2 hours for light soil.

wipe off any residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge.

If needed, touch up spots with a mildly abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

To stop the self-cleaning cycle at any time:

If the oven temperature is above normal broiling temperatures, the Self-Cleaning cycle will start a 30-minute cool down. The clean and door locked indicator lights will stay on.

HOW THE CYCLE WORKS

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.

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.

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.

CARING FOR YOUR RANGE

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.
