Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety symbols and

statements. Please pay special attention to

these symbols and follow any instructions

given. Here is a brief explanation of the use

of the symbol.

wWARNING

•Do not operate the range if it is

damaged or not working properly.

•Do not use the range for warming

or heating the room. Persons

could be burned or injured, or

a fire could start.

•Use the range only for its intended

use as described in this manual.

•Do not touch surface units, areas

near units, heating elements, or

interior surfaces of oven. Surface

units and heating elements may

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 ventopening, the surface

near the vent opening, the

cooktop, and the oven door and

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:

General

•Read all instructions before using

the range.

•Install or locate the range only

in accordance with the provided

Installation Instructions. The

range must be installed by a

qualified installer. The range

must be properly connected to

electrical supply and grounded.

•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 24.

•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

never be allowed to sit or stand

on any part of the range. They

could be burned or injured.

This symbol alerts you to

hazards such as fire, electrical

shock, or other injuries.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

cleaning solutions and spillovers

could penetrate the broken cook-

top and create a risk of electrical

shock. Contact a qualified techni-

cian 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 exposed

and could result in the igniting of

clothing or pot holders. Correct

pan size also improves cooking

efficiency.

•Check to be sure glass cookware

is safe for use on the range. Only

certain types of glass, glass-

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,

or other glazed cookware are suit-

able for cooktops without breaking

due to the sudden change in

temperature.

•Never leave surface units unat-

tended 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.

window, 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.

•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.

•Do not heat unopened contain-

ers. They could explode. The hot

contents could cause burns and

container particles could cause

injury.

•Use only cookware approved for

oven use. Follow cookware

manufacturer’s instructions,

especially when using glass or

plastic cookware.

•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 cook-

top. If cooktop should break,

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

elements in oven.

•Use care when opening oven

door. Let hot air or steam escape

before removing or replacing

food.

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-fitting lid,

cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming

grease outside of pan can be

extinguished 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

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.

•Do not 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 cookware.

Do not use your oven to clean

miscellaneous parts unless you

are instructed to do so in this

Use and Care Guide.

•Do 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.

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

chart at right as a guide. For best results,

start cooking at the high setting; then turn

the control knob down to continue cooking.

HOT SURFACE

Using Your Range

To get the best cooking results, you should use your range the correct way. This section tells

you what you need to know to use your range safely and efficiently.

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

shows which surface unit is turned on by

that knob.

Surface heating indicator light

The Surface Heating Indicator Light on the

control panel will glow when a surface unit is

turned on.

Hot surface indicator lights

The Hot Surface Indicator Lights on the

cooktop surface will glow when the surface

units are turned on. The Indicator Lights will

continue to glow as long as the surface units

are too hot to touch, even after they are

turned off.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

HI •To start foods cooking.

•To bring liquids to a boil.

Medium-high •To hold a rapid boil.

•To fry chicken or

pancakes.

Medium •For gravy, pudding,

and icing.

(opposite OFF •To cook large amounts

of vegetables.

Medium-low •To keep food cooking

after starting it on a

higher setting.

LO •To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

(opposite OFF)

OFF

USING YOUR RANGE

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 29 and 30 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 empty cookware, or

cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot

surface unit. The cookware could overheat

and damage the cookware or surface unit.

Home canning information

•Use the largest surface unit for best

results. Also, use a canner/pan which

can be centered over the surface unit.

•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.

•Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

USING YOUR RANGE

Positioning racks and pans

To remove racks:

1. Pull rack toward you.

2. Tilt up front end.

3. Pull rack out.

To replace racks:

1. Place rack on rack guides.

2. Tilt up front end.

3. Push rack in until it clears the stop.

4. Lower front and push rack in the rest of

the way.

General guidelines

•Before turning on the oven, place oven

racks where you need them.

•Be sure the rack(s) is level.

•Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect

your hands if rack(s) must be moved while

the oven is hot.

•For baking/roasting with 1 rack,

place the rack so the top of the food will

be centered in the oven.

•When baking/roasting on 2 racks,

arrange racks on the bottom and 3rd

level from the bottom.

•Do not place items on the oven door

when it is open.

Rack placement for specific

foods:

FOOD

Frozen pies, large

roasts, turkeys,

angel food cake

Bundt cakes,

most quick

breads, yeast

breads,

casseroles, meats

Cookies, biscuits,

muffins, cakes,

nonfrozen pies

RACK POSITION

Lowest level or 2nd

level from bottom

2nd level from

bottom

2nd or 3rd level

from bottom

NOTE: For recommended rack placement

when broiling, see “Broiling rack position

chart” on page 18.

Bakeware tips

•When baking with insulated cookie

sheets or baking pans, place them in the

bottom third of the oven. You may need to

increase the recommended baking times,

so test for doneness before removing from

the oven.

•For most baking, reduce the oven

temperature by 25°F, but use the same

baking time when using ovenproof glass-

ware or dark pans. These pans absorb

heat, producing darker bottom browning

and crispier crusts. When baking pies and

bread, you can use the temperature called

for in the recipe.
