Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes could create an explo- sion and/or fire hazard.

When using the cooktop

l l

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. Con- tact 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 l l l will be ex osed and could result in t R e igniting of clothing or potholders. 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, earthenware or other lazed utensils are suitable or cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Never leave surface units unattended at high heat set- tin s. A boilover could result an % cause smokin and greasy

Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units.

This will help reduce the chance of burns, i niting of flammable materia s, due to bumping of the pan.

When using the oven

l l

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 potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

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 knob. 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 shows which surface unit is turned on by that knob.

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.

Burn and Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and all indicator lights are OFF when you are not cooking.

Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.

7

Until you get used to the settings, use the following ar a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

SEll-lNG

HI

1 RECOMMENDED USE l l

To start foods cooking.

To bring liquids to a boil.

Medium-high l l

To hold a rapid boil.

To frv chicken or Dancakes.

I

Medium l

For gravy, pudding and icing.

(opposite OFF) l

To cook large amounts of vegetables.

Medium-low

LO 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 l l

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 HIGH setting - to maintain the proper temperature setting you have selected.

Sliding metal pane 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 33 and 34 for care and cleaning suggestions. l

Cookware tips

Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit. l l 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 cookware available with slightly indented bottoms or very small expansion channels. This cookware is specially designed to provide the good contact needed for best cookfng resufts.

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 (thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight. l l l l l 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 cookfng 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 rure 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.

Product Damage Hazard

Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit.

The utensil could overheat and could damage the utensil or surface unit.

8

Home canning information l l l

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.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

Rack placement for specific foods:

FOOD RACK POSITION

Personal Injury Hazard l

Always position oven rack(s) in desired location before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.

Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys

Lowest level or 2nd level from bottom

Angel and bundt cakes, 2nd level from most quick breads, bottom yeast breads, casseroles, meats l

If rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions could result in personal injury.

Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies

2nd or 3rd level from bottom

When baking on two recks, arrange racks on bottom and third level from bottom.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when broiling, see “Broiling rack position chart” on page 17.

9

l l l

For best air circulation

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

This results in better baking.

Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other.

For beat results, allow 1% to 2 inches

(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one time.

Use the following as a guide to determine where to place the pans:

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.

Three or four pans

Place in opposite corners on each oven rack.

Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

Using aluminum foil for baking

l l l

Use aluminum foil to catch apillovera from pies or casseroles:

Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn up foil edges and make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all around than the dish holding the food.

Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.

It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cooking results.

Do not line oven bottom or entire oven rack with foil or other liners. Poor baking will result.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hezard

Do not allow foil to touch the heating elements.

Failure to follow this precaution could result in electrical shock or fire hazard and damage to the elements.

7. When baking/roasting is done, push the Off/

Cancel pad. The time of day will show on the display and all other displays will go off.

14

Adjusting the oven temperature control

Oven temperature controls will gradually shift after years of use. So, even though your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, you can change them by following these steps:

1. Push the Bake pad and hoM (for about 4 seconds) until the time display shows the current temperature offset, for example “00” if you have not previously adjusted the temperature.

2. To adjust the temperature, use the Temp pad(s). Push A to raise the temperature or V to lower the temperature in 5°F increments.

You can set the temperature change to as low as -35’F or as high as +35’F. A minus (-) sign will appear before the number when decreas- ing the temperature setting to show the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount.

3. After making the desired adjustment, push any command pad to enter the new offset temperature.

15

Broiling

1. Position the rack before turning the oven on.

See “Broiling rack position chart” on page 17.

2. Put the broiler pan and food on the rack.

3. Close the door to the Broil Stop position (open about 4 inches [lo cm]). The door will stay open by itself.

4. Push the Broil pad. The small display will show “500”“. The time of day and BROIL will light up.

5. Push the Start/Enter pad. HEAT, BROIL and

“500”” show on the display.

NOTE: You can change the temperature setting any time after pushing the Start/Enter pad by pushing just the Temp pad(s).

6. When broiling is done, push the Off/Cancel pad. The time of day will show on the display and all other displays will go off.

16

l l l

To broil at a lower temperature:

If food is cooking too fast, push the Broil pad and push the V Temp pad until “325”” shows on the small display.

If you want food to broil slower from the start, push the Broil pad and push the V Temp pad so a temperature between 17O’F and 325°F (77% and 163°C) shows on the small display. These temperature settings allow the broil heating element to cycle and to slow cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. BROIL and HEAT will light up on the display.

Fish and chicken are some foods that may cook better if you use lower broiling temperatures.

NOTE: Leave the door partly open whenever using the oven to broil. This allows the oven to maintain proper temperatures.

Broiling tips

Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to drain excess liquid and grease away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smoke or fire.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if you leave it in the heated oven.

I

Fire Hazard l

Place meat the correct distance from the element. Meat placed too close to the element could spatter, smoke, burn or catch fire during broiling. l

To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling. Also, covering the broiler grid with foil is not recommended. Poor drainage of grease could result in fire. If foil is used, cut slits in foil to line up with all openings in broiler grid. Grease can then drain away and cool in pan.

17

Energy saving tips

l l l l l

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently.

Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product:

Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting lids.

Match the pan to the surface unit size.

Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help shorten cooking time.

Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface unit control on low or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possible. l l l l l l l

Use the more efficient surface units instead of the oven when possible.

Turn on the surface unit only after placing filled pan on the unit.

“Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking results. Rely on your timer to keep track of the cooking time.

Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is warm. Best time to bake is right after a meal has been cooked in the oven.

Preheat the oven no longer than necessary.

Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in it also.

Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or cooking items such as casseroles.

Using the electronic MEALTIMER” control

The electronic MEALTIMER control is designed to turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around.

Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do not ues delayed time cooking for cakes, cookies, etc. - undercooking will result.

This section discusses two methods for starting baking/roasting now and stopping automatically later, and three methods for starting and stopping bakinq/roasting automatically. Read this section carefully to choose which method(s) is best for you.

Before using the electronic MEALTIMER control, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See “Setting the clock” on page 12.)

Special tip8 ........................................................ 31

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven interior. Like with other functions of your range, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to- use electronic control. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.

How the cycle works

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.

Your oven is preset for a 3-hour SeWCleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See

“Setting the controls” on page 29.)

The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 3-hour Seff-Cleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes longer for the oven to cool enough to unlock

Before you start

l

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

Handslean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move or bend the seal.

Poor cleaning, baking and roasting may resutt.

START 1 llrns It Hours

Hand-clean frame

STOP

l l l l

Remove the broiler pan grkl and any pots and pans being stored in the oven.

NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan (without grid) in the oven if you have first removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning or in a dishwasher.

If most of the soil is not removed, too much smoking will occur. The chrome broiler pan grid will discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Wlpe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the cleaning cycle.

Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide. (See page

35.) If you clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.)

Heat and odors are normal during the Self-

Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.

Personal Injury and

Product Damage Hazard l

Do not touch the oven during the Self-

Cleaning cycle. It could burn you. l

Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Cleaners could produce hazard- ous fumes or damage the porcelain finish. l

Do not leave any foil in the oven during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface. l l l

NOTES:

Do not force the Lock Lever. You could bend or break it. The lever is designed to stay locked until the oven is cool enough to safely open.

Wait until it moves freely.

Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

Do not leave plastic utensils near the vent.

They may metf.

Setting the controls

1. Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See “Setting the clock” on page 12.)

2. Lift the panel between the oven door and the control panel. Move the Lock Lever all the way to the right-the Clean position.

29

l

If a cleaning cycle other than 3 hours is desired, use the Hour and Minute pads to set the desired cleaning time. Push the “up” (A) or “down” (V) pad(s) until a time between 2-4 hours shows on the display.

Use 2 hours for light soil. l

Use 3-4 hours for moderate to heavy soil.

Push the Start/Enter pad. TIMED and HEAT will light up on the display to show that the oven is programmed for the Self-Cleaning cycle.

NOTE: The display will show “door” and a tone will sound once a minute for 5 minutes if the door is not latched.

Skip to Step 6.

4. To delay the start using Stop Time:

Push the Clean pad. Push the Stop Time pad.

STOP, TIME, CLEAN and “cln” will light up.

Use the Hour and Minute pads to set the desired stop time. Push the “up” (A) or “down”

(V) pad(s) until the correct time shows on the display. The oven will automatically compute the delay start time by subtracting the set cleaning time from the set stop time.

Push the Start/Enter pad. DELAY, CLEAN and the time of day will light up on the display to show that the oven is programmed to start the Self-Cleaning cycle at a later time.

Skip to Step 6.

5. To delay the start using Start Time:

Push the Clean pad. Push the Delay Start

Time pad. START, TIME, CLEAN and ‘cln” will light up. Use the Hour and Minute pads to set the desired start time. Push the “up” (A) or


Push the Start/Enter pad. DELAY, CLEAN and the time of day will light up on the display to show that the oven is programmed to start the Self-Cleaning cycle at a later time.

After the start time has been set, the large display will go back to showing the current time of day. DELAY and CLEAN will stay on. When the start time is reached,

DELAY will go off, TIMED, CLEAN and

CLEAN TIME will light up and the oven will start to clean.

30

6. After the Self-Cleaning cycle is started,

LOCKED lights up on the display when the oven temperature goes above normal baking/ roasting temperatures. The Lock Lever must not be moved and the door cannot be opened when LOCKED is on.

7. After the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed, the time of day will show on the display.

8. When the oven reacher normal baking/ roasting temperatures, LOCKED goes off and “End” and CLEAN TIME come on. Move the Lock Lever back to the left. DO NOT

FORCE lT. Wait until it moves easily.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time:

1. Push the Off/Cancel pad.

2. When LOCKED goes off, move the Lock

Lever back to the left. DO NOT FORCE lT.

Wait until it moves easily. l l l

Special tips

Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-

Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors and smoke.

After the oven is cool, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain, clean with a mild, abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge.

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.

Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and resutts in more smoke than usual. l tl the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-

Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand- clean areas noted on page 28.

Your range is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around your home. Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and operating like new.

Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure all controls are off and the range is cool before cleaning or servicing.

Failure to do so could result in burns or electrical shock

Cleaning the cooktop

This cooktop is designed for easy care. However, ceramic cooktops need to be maintained differently than standard electric open-coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on opencoil elements. Because of this, the surface should be dust-free and soil-free before heating.

Your cooktop has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and cleanability.

The Cooktop Polishing Creme (included with your range), paper towels or a sponge, and the razor scraper included with your range is all you need to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review “Cleaning tips” on page 34. Follow them after each use to ensure top performance and to preserve that uniquely elegant look.


When removing heavy or sugary spills from the hot cooktop, wear oven mitts to prevent burns. l

Do not use cooktop cleaner on a hot cook-top. The cleaner could produce hazard- ous fumes or damage the cooktop. l

Do not use the range if the cooktop is cracked or broken.

Failure to follow these instructions could resutt in personal injury.

To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow these instructions: l

Remove sugary spills before cooktop cools to prevent pitting. l

Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board. l

Do not allow anything that may melt (such as plastic or aluminum foil) to come in contact with the surface while it is hot. l

Do not use the ceramic cooktop to cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged aluminum containers. The container could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that cannot be removed completely. l

Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, abrasive powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia or glass cleaning products with ammonia. These could damage the cooktop surface. l

Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop could crack it. Be careful with heavy skillets. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.

Cleaning tips l l

What to use:

Cooktop Polishing Creme (included with your range) with paper towel or clean, damp sponge -This creme has been developed especially for cleaning and protecting your cooktop. When using, follow instructions on container.

Razor scraper (included with your range) -

Use to remove cooked-on soils from your ceramic cooktop. Razor blades will not scratch your cooktop. Store razor blades out of reach of children.

NOTE: For more information on using the razor scraper, see back of scraper package. steps to follow:

1. Most spills can be wiped off easily using a paper towel or clean, damp sponge as soon as Hot Surface Indicator Light(s) go off.

2. Rub Cooktop Polishing Creme into cooked-on soil using a paper towel. If some soil remains, leave some creme on the spot(s) and follow

Step 3.

3. Carefully scrape spots with the razor scraper.

4. Finish by polishing entire cooktop with Cook- top Polishing Creme and a paper towel. l l l l l

Additional tips:

Sugar spills and soils (such as jellies and candy syrups) can cause pitting on the cooktop if not removed while the ceramic surface is still warm. Remove as soon as possible after the spill occurs.

Remove dark streaks, specks and discolora- tion with Cooktop Polishing Creme.

Remove metal marks (from copper or aluminum pans) with Cooktop Polishing Creme before heating the cooktop again. If heated before cleaning, metal marks may not come off.

Tiny scratches or abrasions do not affect cooking. In time, these will become less visible as a result of cleaning. To prevent scratches and abrasions, use Cooktop Polishing Creme regularly.

Nonabrasive cleanser with damp paper towel or sponge can be used as an alternative method for removing cooked-on soils. Always rinse and dry your cooktop thoroughly after using cleanser to prevent streaking or staining.
