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 This symbol alerts you to such

muse the range only for its intended

use as described in this manual.

*WARNING: 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 34.

CAUTION: Do not store things

children might want above the

range. Children could be burned

or injured while climbing on it.

@Do not leave children alone or

unattended in area where the

range is in use. They should

*Do not touch surface units, areas

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 and

window, could also become hot

enough to cause burns.

‘\

@Donot 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 containers.

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, espe-

cially 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

ADO not cook on a broken cooktop.

If cooktop should break, cleaning

solutions and spillovers could pen-

etrate 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, earthen-

ware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cooktops without break-

ing 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.

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.

as the surface unit is too hot

the following as a guide. For best results,

start cooking at the high setting; then turn

the control knob down to continue cooking.

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 cooktop before and after each use

will help keep the surface free from stains

and provide the most even heating. See

pages 43 and 44 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.

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

Always position oven rack(s) in desired

location before turning oven on.

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

pull out.

Be sure the rack(s) is level.

If rack(s) must be moved while oven is

hot, use pot holders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

For baking/roasting with one rack, place

the rack so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven.

When baklng on two racks, arrange

racks on the bottom and third level from

the bottom.
