aWARNING: To reduce the risk

of tipping the appliance, the

appliance must be secured by a

properly installed anti-tip bracket.

To check if the bracket is

installed properly, see “The

anti-tip bracket” on page 20.

@CAUTION: Do not store things

children might want above the

range. Children could be burned

or injured while climbing on it.

@Donot leave children alone or

unattended in area where the

range is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand

on any part of the range. They

near units, heating elements, or

interior surfaces of oven. Surface

units and heating elements could

be hot even though they are dark

in color. Areas near surface units

and interior surfaces of an oven

become hot enough to cause

burns. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other

flammable materials contact

surface units, areas near units,

heating elements, or interior sur-

faces of oven until they have had

sufficient time to cool. Other sur-

faces of the range, such as the

oven vent opening, the surface

near the vent opening, the cooktop,

and the oven door, could also be

come hot enough to cause burns.

‘\

@Do not wear loose or hanging

garments when using the range.

They could ignite if they touch a

hot surface unit and you could be

burned.

*Use only dry pot holders. Moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces

could result in burns from steam.

Do not let pot holder touch hot

heating elements. Do not use a

towel or bulky cloth for a pot

holder. It could catch on fire.

Keep range vents unobstructed.

ADO not heat unopened contain-

ers. They could explode. The hot

contents could cause burns and

container particles could cause

injury.

@Use only utensils approved for

oven use. Follow utensil

manufacturer’s instructions,

especially when using glass or

plastic utensils.

@Donot store flammable materials

on or near the range. The fumes

could create an explosion and/or

fire hazard.

When using the cooktop

@Donot cook on a broken cooktop.

If cooktop should break, cleaning

solutions and spillovers could

penetrate the broken cooktop and

create a risk of electrical shock.

Contact a qualified technician

immediately.

@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 heat-

ing element will be exposed and

could result in the igniting of cloth-

ing or pot holders. 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, ear-then-

ware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cooktops without

breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature.

ONever leave surface units un-

attended at high heat settings.

A boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spillovers

that could 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 pot holder

contact hot heating element in

oven.

Grease Care and cleaning

@Grease is flammable. Do not

allow grease to collect around

cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-

overs immediately.

@Clean cooktop with care. Some

cleaners could produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot surface.

If a wet paper towel is used to

wipe spills on a hot cooking area,

be careful to avoid steam burns.

Using Your 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 anywhere

between HI and OFF.

Surface unit markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker

Surface unit indicator lights

One of the Surface Unit Indicator Lights on

Hot surface indicator light

The Hot Surface Indicator Light on the

control panel will glow when a

surface unit becomes too hot

to touch. The Indicator Light

will continue to glow as long as

the surface unit is too hot to

touch, even after it is turned off.

Fire Hazard

Turn all controls off when done

cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death,

fire, or burns.

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 RECOMMENDED USE

HI l To start foods cooking.

l To bring liquids to a boil.

6-8 l To hold a rapid boil.

l To fry chicken or

pancakes.

5 l For gravy, pudding, and

icing.

2-4

l To cook large amounts

of vegetables.

l To keep food cooking

after starting it on a

higher setting.

l To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

Using the ceramic glass

cooktop

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is

almost the same as cooking on coil surface

units. There are, however, a few differences:

l The surface unit will glow red when it is

turned on. You will see the element cycling

on (glowing red) and off - even on HIGH

setting -to maintain the proper tempera-

ture setting you have selected.

l Sliding metal pans on ceramic glass

cooktop surface could leave marks. Wiping

off the cooktop before and after each use

will help keep the surface free from stains

and provide the most even heating. See

pages 21-22 for care and cleaning

suggestions.

Cookware tips

l Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface unit.

l NOTE: For best results and greater

energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with

the surface units. Cookware with rounded,

warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain

enamelware), or dented bottoms could

cause uneven heating and poor cooking

results.

You can, however, use the newer cook-

ware available with slightly indented

bottoms or very small expansion channels.

This cookware is specially designed to

provide the good contact needed for best

cooking results.

Also, woks, canners, and teakettles with

flat bottoms suitable for use on your

cooktop are now available in most stores

that sell housewares.

l The pan should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

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.

Choose pans that provide the best cooking

results.

l Handles should be made of sturdy,

heat-resistant material and be securely

attached to the pan.

l With your hand, feel the bottom of your

pans while they are cool for nicks and

scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan

bottoms will scratch the ceramic glass

cooktop.

l Make sure bottoms of pans are clean and

dry before using on cooktop.

l Avoid spillovers on cooktop. Use pans

with tall sides.

l Do not cook food directly on cooktop.

NOTE: Do not leave an empty utensil, or

one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface

unit. The utensil could overheat and damage

the utensil or surface unit.

Home canning information

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 Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

l Use the largest surface unit for best

results. Also, use a canner/pan which can

be centered over the surface unit.

Positioning racks and pans

General guidelines

l Always position oven rack(s) in desired

location before turning oven on.

l To move rack(s), lift rack(s) at front and

pull out.

l Be sure the rack(s) is level.

l If rack(s) must be moved while oven is

hot, use pot holders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

l For baking/roasting with one rack, place

the rack so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven.

l When baking on two racks, arrange

racks on the bottom and third level from

the bottom.
