_MPORTANT _NSTRUCT_ONS FOR US_NGYOUR
COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having fiat

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 element will also

improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of bums, ignition

of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact

with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so

that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
units.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoMng and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry' may melt.

• Do Not immerse or Soak RemovaMe Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences

(shown in bold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these
problems are provided with the problem listed:

Range is not level o(1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling
legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support
range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to

correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.

Cannot move a p_pJiance easily. Appliance must be accessible
for service o (1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet.

Surface element too hot or not hot enough o Incorrect control
setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element to be

used.
Surface element does not heat o (1) Lightweight or warped

pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped

pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect
heating. Heavy & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because
lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily. (2) No

power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire AppJiance
Does Not Operate" in this checklist. (3) Incorrect control
setting. Make sure the correct control is ON for the surface

element to be used.

Entire appliance does not operate o (1) Make sure cord/plug is
plugged correctly into outlet. (2) Service wiring is not complete.
Contact your authorized service agent. (3) Electrical power

outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric
company for service.

Oven does not operate o Be sure the oven controls are set
properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in

this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions "Entire
appliance does not operate" in this checklist.

Oven light does not work (some models) o Replace or tighten
bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Manual.

Oven smokes excessively durin_ o(1) Contro!(s) not
set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven
Controms. (2) Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop

position. (3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the
broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the
elemenL Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not
properly prepare& Remove excess fat from meat. Cut fatty

edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on
broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place
grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease
to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up on oven
surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive

smoking.

Fmames inside oven or smoking from oven vent o Excessive
spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom.

Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or
excessive smoke are present see 'Broiling" in the Setting Oven

Controls section.

Poor baking results oMany factors affect baking results. Make
sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the
