How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the

product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from

packaging tape on new appliances is an application of

a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil

or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to

soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to

thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the

chrome trim on oven parts. It cannot be removed if it

is baked on.

Write down the model and

Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the

following:

• Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this guide.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician in

accordance with the provided Installation

Instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this guide. All other servicing

should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT

THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE

HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY

REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF

THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

• Have the installer show you the location of the

circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

WARNING—

All ranges can tip and injury

could result. To prevent

accidental tipping of the

range, attach it to the wall or

floor by installing the Anti-Tip

device supplied. Make sure the

rear leveling leg fits securely

into the slot in the bracket.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any

reason, make sure the device is properly engaged

when you push the range back against the wall. If

it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping

over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit

or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in

this guide. Failure to take this precaution could

result in tipping of the range and injury.

• Do not leave children alone—children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area where an

appliance is in use. They should never be allowed

to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN

CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE

BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN

CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH

ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

• Teach children not to play with the controls

or any other part of the range.

• Never leave the oven door open when you are

not watching the range.

• Always keep combustible wall coverings,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from

your range.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the door, drawer or cooktop. They could

damage the range and even tip it over, causing

severe personal injury.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored over the range.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought

in contact with hot surface units or heating

elements and may cause severe burns.

• Use only dry pot holders—

moist or damp pot holders on hot

surfaces may result in burns from

steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface

units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or

other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a

hot surface unit or heating element.

• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance from

your range.

• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils

and canned food a safe distance away from

your range.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven

or near the cooktop.

• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER

FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS

IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY

OTHER APPLIANCE.

• Keep the hood and grease filters clean

to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

• Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn

the controls off. Smother flaming pan

on a surface unit by covering the pan completely

with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type

fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by

covering with baking soda or, if available, by

using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type

fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely

by closing the oven door and turning the oven

off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or

foam-type fire extinguisher.

• Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even

though they are dark in color. During and after

use, do not touch, or let clothing or other

flammable materials contact, surface units, areas

nearby surface units or any interior area of the

oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and

areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening and

surfaces near the opening, crevices around the

oven door and metal trim parts above the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may

be hot when the door is opened.

• When cooking pork, follow the directions

exactly and always cook the meat to an internal

temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that,

in the remote possibility that trichina may be

present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat

will be safe to eat.

Oven

• Stand away from the range when opening the

oven door. The hot air or steam which escapes

can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

• Keep the oven vent duct

unobstructed.

• Keep the oven free from

grease buildup.

• Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be

handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact

the heating elements.

• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also

a precaution against burns from touching the

hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

• Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in an oven can ignite.

• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the oven when not in use.

• After broiling, always take the broiler pan

out of the range and clean it. Leftover grease in

the broiler pan can catch fire the next time you

use the pan.

• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or

near your range.

Important Safety Instructions

Surface Cooking Units

• Use proper pan size—

Select cookware having flat bottoms

large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware

will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit

will also improve efficiency.

• Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

• Be sure the drip pans and vent are not covered

and are in place. Their absence during cooking

could damage range parts and wiring.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans

or anywhere in the oven except as described in

this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire

hazard or damage to the range.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop cooking; others may break

because of the sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, the handle

of a container should be turned toward the center

of the range without extending over the nearby

surface units.

• Always turn the surface unit controls off before

removing the cookware.

• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock, always be certain that the controls for all

surface units are at the off position and all coils

are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.

• When flaming foods are under the hood,

turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread

the flame.

• Do not immerse or soak the removable surface

units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

• Carefully watch for spillovers or over-heating

of foods when frying at high or medium high

temperatures.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods

can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides

of the pan.

• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat

frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause

spillovers when food is added.

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats

melt slowly.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the

smoking point.

• Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot.

Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet

cloths could cause steam burns if used on a

hot surface.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE

WITH YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new cooktop has electric coil surface units. If you

are used to cooking on gas burners or other types of

electric cooktops you will notice some differences

when you use electric coils.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and

cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or

surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the

differences between electric coil surface units and any

other type you may have used in the past.

Type of Cooktop Description How It Works

Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best

tubing containing cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of

electric resistance warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change

wire suspended heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to

over a drip pan. continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on

(Glass Ceramic) under a glass- the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to

Cooktop ceramic cooktop. continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if

you want cooking to stop.

Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is

induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right

under a glass away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the

surface. control off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops

right away.

Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good

disk sealed to the cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The

cooktop surface. disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan

from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but

gas burners use pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change

either LP gas heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

or natural gas.

SURFACE CONTROLS

Your surface units and controls are designed to give you an infinite choice

of heat settings for surface unit cooking.

At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. When cooking in a

quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “clicking” sounds–an indication that the

heat settings you selected are being maintained.

Switching to higher heat settings always shows a quicker heat change than

switching to lower settings.

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

HI—Quick start for cooking; bring water to boil.

Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and

MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

MED—Sauté and brown; keeps food at medium boil

or simmer.

Medium Low—

(Setting halfway between MED and

LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in a

covered pan.

LO—

Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature

of foods. Slow cooking and simmering. At LO settings,

melt chocolate and butter on a small surface unit.

NOTE: At HI or Medium High never leave food

unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy

spillovers may catch fire.

Medium

Low

How to Set the Controls

1. Grasp the control

knob and push in.

2. Turn either clockwise

or counterclockwise to

the desired heat setting.

The control must be pushed in to set only from

the OFF position. When the control is in any

position other than OFF, it may be rotated without

pushing it in.

Be sure you turn the control to OFF when you

finish cooking.

The surface unit indicator light will glow when

ANY heat on any surface unit is on.

COOKWARE TIPS

Cookware

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum

cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.

Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to

absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to

medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly

if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results pans should be flat on the

bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of

the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the

edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Deep Fat Frying

Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.

Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.

Keep range and hood clean from grease.

Right Wrong

NOT OVER 1 INCH OVER 1 INCH

Wok Cooking

We recommend that

you use only a flat-

bottomed wok.

They are available

at your local retail

store.

Do not use woks that have

support rings. Use of these

types of woks, with or

without the ring in place,

can be dangerous. Placing

the ring over the surface

unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage

the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks

without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the

wok tipped over.
