Range Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety statements

under warning symbols. Please pay special

attention to these symbols and follow any

instructions given. Here is a brief explana-

tion of the use of the symbol.

This symbol alerts you to such

dangers as fire, electrical shock,

burns, and personal injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using

the range, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

of the range, such as the oven

vent opening, the surface near

the vent opening, the cooktop,

and the oven door, could also

become 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.

@Useonly 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.

@Donot 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 manu-

facturer’s instructions, especially

when using glass or plastic

utensils.

@Do not store flammable materials

on or near the range. The fumes

could create an explosion and/or

fire hazard.

When using the cooktop

@Do not 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 heating element will be ex-

posed and could result in the

igniting of clothing 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, earthen-

ware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cooktops without

breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature.

*Never leave surface units un-

attended at high heat settings.

A boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spillovers

that could ignite.

aTurn 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 ele-

ment in oven.

*Use care when opening oven

door. Let hot air or steam escape

before removing or replacing food.

off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from

fiberglass insulation and food

decomposition. Significant expo-

sure to these substances could

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.

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 ex-

tinguished with baking soda or, if

available, a multipurpose dry

chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

@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.

@Small amounts of formaldehyde

and carbon monoxide are given

- SAVE THESE

@Donot 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

miscellaneous parts unless you

are instructed to do so in this

Use and Care Guide.

ADO 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.

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 any-

where 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

Hot surface indicator lights

One of the Hot Surface Indicator Lights on

the cooktop 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.

SETTING

5-8

RECOMMENDED USE

.To start foods cooking.

To bring liquids to a boil.

.To hold a rapid boil.

.To fry chicken or

pancakes.

For gravy, pudding, and

higher setting.

@To keeo 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:

The surface unit will glow red when it is

turned on. You will see the element cycling

on (glowing red) and off - even on HI

setting -to maintain the proper tempera-

ture setting you have selected.

Sliding metal pans on ceramic glass

cooktop surface could leave marks. Wiping

off the cook-top before and after each use

will help keep the surface free from stains

and provide the most even heating. See

pages 25 and 26 for care and cleaning

suggestions.

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

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

cookware 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.

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 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.

Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely attached

to the pan.

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.

Make sure bottoms of pans are clean and

dry before using on cooktop.

Avoid spillovers on cooktop. Use pans

with tall sides.

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.
