continued on next page

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 bulky cloth for a

potholder. It could catch on fire.

Keep range vents unobstructed.

Do not heat unopened containers.

They could explode. The hot

contents could cause burns and

container particles could cause

injury.

Do not store flammable materials

on or near the range. The fumes

can create an explosion and/or

fire hazard.

When using the cooktop

Make sure the reflector bowls are

in place during cooking. Cooking

without reflector bowls may sub-

ject the wiring and components

underneath them to damage.

Do not line reflector bowls with

aluminum foil or other liners.

Improper installation of these

liners may result in a risk of elec-

tric shock or fire.

Select a pan with a flat bottom

that is about the same size as the

surface unit. If pan is smaller than

the surface unit, some of the

heating element will be exposed

and may result in the igniting of

clothing or potholders. Correct

pan size also improves cooking

efficiency.

Check to be sure glass cooking

utensils are safe for use on the

range. Only certain types of glass,

glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-

ware or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cooktops without

breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature.

Never leave surface units unat-

tended at high heat settings. A

boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite.

Turn pan handles inward, but not

over other surface units. This will

help reduce the chance of burns,

igniting of flammable materials,

and spills due to bumping of the

pan.

When using the oven

Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location while oven is

cool. If a rack must be removed

while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact hot heating

element in oven.

Use care when opening oven

door. Let hot air or steam escape

before removing or replacing

food.

Grease

Grease is flammable. Do not

allow grease to collect around

cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-

overs immediately.

Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Smother flaming pan on range by

covering with a well-fitted lid,

cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming

grease outside of pan can be

extinguished with baking soda or,

if available, a multipurpose dry

chemical or foam-type extin-

guisher.

Care and cleaning

Small amounts of formaldehyde

and carbon monoxide are given

off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from

fiberglass insulation and food

decomposition. Significant expo-

sure to these substances can

cause cancer or reproductive

harm. Exposure can be minimized

by venting with a hood or open

window and wiping out excess

food spills prior to self-cleaning.

Do not use oven cleaners. No

commercial oven cleaner or oven

liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any

part of the oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove broiler pan, broiler grid,

oven racks and other utensils. Do

not use your oven to clean miscel-

laneous parts unless you are

instructed to do so in this Use and

Care Guide.

Do not soak removable heating

elements in water. The element

will be damaged and shock or fire

could result.

Do not clean door heat seal. It is

essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, dam-

age or move the seal. Clean only

parts recommended in this Use

and Care Guide.

Do not repair or replace any part

of the range unless specifically

recommended in this manual. All

other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

Disconnect the electrical supply

before servicing the range.

To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This

section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.

Using the surface units

Push In control knobs before turning

them to a setting. You can set them any-

where 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 acciden-

tally left ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use

the following as a guide.

For best results,

start cooking at the high setting; then turn

the control knob down to continue cooking.

SElTlNG 1 RECOMMENDED USE

MED-HI

MED

MED-LO

To start foods cooking.

To bring liquids to a boil.

To hold a rapid boil.

To fry chicken or pan-

cakes.

For gravy, pudding and

icing.

To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

To keep food cooking

after starting it on a

higher setting.

To keep food warm until

raadv to serve.

Cookware tips

Select a pan

that is about the same size

as the surface unit.

NOTE: For best results and greater

energy efficiency,

use only flat-bottomed

utensils that make good contact with the

surface units. Utensils with rounded,

warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain

enamelware) or dented bottoms could

cause severe overheating, which damages

the utensil and/or surface unit.

Woks, canners and teakettles with flat

bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop

are now available in most stores that sell

housewares.

The pan

should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge

(thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

The pan material

(metal or glass) affects

how fast haat transfers from the surface

unit through the pan material and how

evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.

Choose pans that provide the best cooking

resufts.

Handles

should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely attached

to the pan.

Product Damage Hazard

surface unit stays red for a long

time, the bottom of the pan is not flat

enough or is too small for the surface

unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect

utensils can result in damage to the

surface unit, cooktop, wiring and

surrounding areas. To prevent dam-

age, use correct utensils, start cooking

on HI and turn control down to con-

tinue cooking.

*Do not leave an empty utensil, or one

which has boiled dry, on a hot surface

unit. The utensil can overheat and

may damage the utensil or surface

unit.

day.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack,

place

the rack so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven.

There are two racks for the oven. One

rack is straight and the other is offset

(raised). The shape of the offset rack allows

you to space racks better.

Rack placement for specific foods:

frozen pies

When baking on two racks,

arrange the

offset rack on bottom and the straight rack

on the third level from bottom.

NOTE:

For recommended rack placement

when broiling, see “Broiling chart” on

page 17.

Personal Injury Hazard

Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location before turning oven

on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.

If rack(s) must be moved while oven

is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

may result in personal injury.

For best air circulation

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.

Place

the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

For best results, allow

1% to 2 inches

(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and

between pans and oven walls. There must

be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

Use

only one cookie sheet in the oven at

one time.

Use the following as a guide to determine

where to place the pans.

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.

Three or four pans

Place in opposite corners on each oven

rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over

another.

Using aluminum foil for baking

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from

pies or casseroles.

. Place

the foil on the oven rack below the

rack with the food.

Turn up

foil edges and

make sure

foil is about 1 inch (3 cm)

larger all around than the dish holding the

food.

Do not cover

the entire rack with alumi-

num foil. It will reduce air circulation and

cause poor cooking results.

Do not line

oven bottom or entire oven

rack with foil or other liners. Poor baking

will resuft.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard

Do not allow foil to touch the heating

elements because it will damage them

and couM result in shock or fire

hazard.
