How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the

product, the safest way to remove the 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 range parts. It cannot be removed if

it is baked on.

Write down the model and serial numbers.

You’ll find them on a label underneath the cooktop.

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.

• Have the installer show you the location

of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for

easy reference.

• 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.

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

near the surface units.

• 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.

• 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 or range top. They could damage

the range and even tip it over, causing severe

personal injury.

• 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.

• Be sure the range is securely installed in a

counter that is firmly attached to the house

structure. Weight on the oven door could cause

the oven to tip and result in injury. Never allow

anyone to climb, sit, or hang on the oven door.

• 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.

• 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.

(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Smother flaming pan on surface unit

by covering pan completely with well-

fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray, or if available,

use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out

by covering with baking soda or, if available,

a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely

by closing the oven door and pressing the

CLEAR/OFF pad or by using a dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

• Do not touch the surface units, 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, areas

facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, 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 in the oven.

• 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 the 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 leave paper products, cooking utensils,

or food in the oven when not in use. Do not

store flammable materials in an oven or near the

heating elements.

• 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.

• Never leave the oven door open when you are

not watching the range.

• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care

Guide.

Important Safety Instructions

Surface Cooking Units

• Use proper pan size—This appliance is

equipped with different size surface units.

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 the cookware to the

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 ducts 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 range-top cooking; others may

break because of the sudden change in

temperature.

• Always turn the surface unit controls off before

removing the cookware.

• 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 nearby

surface units.

• 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 surface

units are cool before attempting to lift or remove

the unit.

• 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.

• Do not immerse or soak the removable

surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

• When flaming foods are under the hood,

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

the flame.

• Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating

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 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?

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 away

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

surface. 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.

Your new cooktop has electric coil surface units.

If you are used to cooking with 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 of cooktop you may have used in the past.

SURFACE COOKING

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 results in a

quicker heat change than switching to lower settings.

Cooktop Comparison Surface Cooking

How to Set the Controls

1. Grasp the control

knob and push it in.

2. Turn the knob 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 turned without

pushing it in.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you

finish cooking.

The surface unit “ON” indicator light will glow

when ANY heat on any surface unit is on.

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

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

Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and

MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on

large amounts of food.

MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on

large amounts of food.

Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and

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

in covered pan.

LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving temperature

of most foods. At LO settings, melt chocolate, butter

on a small unit.

NOTE: At HI and Medium High, never leave food

unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy

spillovers may catch fire.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS

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,

without the support ring in

place, is dangerous because

the wok is unstable. With the

ring in place, heat will be trapped inside the ring

and may cause damage to the porcelain cooktop.

Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You

could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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.
