IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner, Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners, Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge o the utensil.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillagedueto unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended

Settings--Boilovers cause smoking at High Heat and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual, improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--

Grounding Instructions

(electric ignition models only)

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.

This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle.

DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded.

For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.

DO NOT Operate the range using a 2-prong adapter or an extension cord. If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Surface Unit Flame Size

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil.

A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

WRONG

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower

one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining

proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used

and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly.

If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy.

If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked.

Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame Size

High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

Type of Cooking

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam

Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Proper Surface Burner

Adjustments

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment.

A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room.

Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yelloworange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.

Oven

Self-Cleaning Oven

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.

The health of some birds

isextremely sensitiveto the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.

Move birds to another wellventilated room.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior

(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven door open.

This can damage the automatic door locking system.

Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed.

The oven may still be VERY HOT.

1.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue

after the self-clean cycle.

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any

part of the self-cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket isessential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage

or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.

2.

Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.

These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

3.

Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through

the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.

After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the

racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

4.

Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the selfcleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO

NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,

tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as

they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

5.

Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom.

These

areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
