BEFORE YOU USE YOUR RANGE
Read this Use 8 Care Guide and the Cooking Guide for important
safety information.
You are personally responsible for:
* Reading and following all safety
precautions in this Use & Care
Guide and the Cooking Guide.
* installing the range where it is
protected from the elements, and
on a floor strong enough to support
its weight.
® Properly connecting the range to
electrical supply and grounding.
e Making sure the range is not used
by anyone unable to operate it
properly.
* Properly maintaining the range.
e Using the range only for jobs
expected of a home range.
See “Cooking Guide” for impor-
tant safety and use information.
SAVE THESE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using your
range, follow basic precautions,
including the following.
DO NOT allow children to use or
play with any part of the range, or
leave them unattended near it. They
could be burned or injured.
DO NOT store things children
might want above the range. Children
could be burned or injured while
climbing on it.
DO NOT allow anyone to touch hot
surface elements or heating ele-
ments. Dark colored elements can
still be hot enough to burn severely.
KEEP children away from the
range when it is on. The cooktop and
oven walls, racks and door can get
hot enough to cause burns.
DO NOT use the range to heat a
room. Persons in the room could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
KEEP pan handles turned in but
not over another surface element to
avoid burns, injury and to help pre-
vent the utensil from being pushed
off the surface elements.
DO NOT use water on grease
fires. The fire will spread. Cover fire
with large lid or smother with baking
soda or salt.
DO NOT wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a hot
surface element or heating element
and you could be burned.
DO NOT heat unopened con-
tainers. They could explode. The hot
contents could burn and container
particles could cause injury.
When adding or removing food,
MAKE SURE to open the oven door
all the way to prevent burns.
FOR YOUR SAFETY - DO NOT
STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS
AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY
OF THIS OR ANY OTHER AP-
PLIANCE. THEY COULD IGNITE
CAUSING EXPLOSION AND/OR
FIRE.

ment indicator shows which surface
element is turned on by that knob.

One of the signal lights will glow

SETTING
Control knobs must be pushed
in before turning them to a set-
ting. They can be set anywhere
between HI and OFF.
WARNING: Be sure all lights are
OFF when you are not cooking.
Someone could be burned or a
fire could start if a surface
element is accidentally left ON.
Until you get used to the settings,
use the following as a guide:
Use HI to start

CAUTION: The use of the HI
setting for long periods of time
can damage surface elements
and discolor chrome trim rings.
Start cooking on HI and turn
control down to continue
cooking.
Cookware
Pans should be the same size or
larger than the elements to prevent
boilovers and hot handles.
Use only flat-bottomed utensils for
best cooking results and to prevent
damage to the cooktop. Specialty
items with rounded or ridged bottoms
(woks, ridged bottom canners or tea
kettles) are not recommended.
WARNING: The surface
element should never turn red
during use. If it turns red, the
bottom of the pan is not flat
enough or is too small for the
surface element. Damage to the
surface element, cooktop,
wiring and/or surrounding area
could result. If the pan is too
small for the surface element,
you could be burned by the heat
from the exposed section of the
surface element.
See the “Cooking Guide” for
important utensil information.

which do not require a preheated
oven such as meats and casseroles.
Do not use the automatic cycle
for cakes, cookies, etc. which
require a preheated oven for
good results.
To start baking now and shut off
automatically:

THE OVEN VENT
The oven vent is located under the
right rear surface element. When the
oven is on, hot air and moisture es-
cape from the oven through this vent.
Poor baking can result if this vent is
blocked. When using the oven, do
not use oversized pans or other
items that might block the oven vent.
14
WARNING: When the oven is ON,
pans and pan handles left over
the right rear surface element
can become hot enough to burn
the user and to melt plastics.
Use pot holders to move pans.
Never store plastic, paper or
other items that could melt or
burn on any of the surface
elements.
THE STORAGE
DRAWER
The storage drawer is for storing
pots and pans.
Use care when handling the
drawer.

Replacing the Surface
Elements and Drip Bowls
WARNING: To avoid burns and
possible electric shocks, make
sure all controls are OFF and
the elements are COOL.
1. Line up opening in the drip bowl
and notch in the trim ring with the
surface element receptacle.
2. Hold the surface element as level
as possible with the terminal just
started into the receptacle.
3. Push the surface element terminal
into the receptacle. When the ter-
minal is pushed into the recepta-
cle as far as it will go, the surface
element will fit into the trim ring.
CAUTION: Drip bowls reflect
heat back to the utensils on the
surface elements. They also
help catch spills. When they are
kept clean, they reflect heat
better and look new longer.
If a trim ring gets discolored,
some of the utensils may not be
flat enough, or some may be too
large for the surface element.
In either case, some of the
heat that's meant to go into or
around a utensil goes down and
heats the trim ring. This extra
heat can discolor it. See
“Cooking Guide” for further
information.
WARNING: DO NOT LINE THE
DRIP BOWLS WITH FOIL. Shock
or fire hazard could result.

5. Turn on the vent hood or other
kitchen vent during the cleaning
cycle. This will help remove
smoke, odor and heat that are
normal during the cycle.
SPECIAL CAUTIONS: DO NOT
use commercial oven cleaners
in your oven. Damage to the
porcelain finish may occur.
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 use foil or other liners
in the oven. During the cleaning
cycle foil can burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
WARNINGS: DO NOT block the
vent during the cleaning cycle.
Air must move freely for best
cleaning results.
DO NOT leave a utensil over
the right rear surface element
during the cleaning cycle.
It will become hot enough to
burn you and the utensil
could be damaged.
DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKTOP
OR OVEN DURING THE CLEAN-
ING CYCLE. THEY COULD BURN
YOU.
Setting the Controls
for Self-Clean
Be sure the kitchen is ventilated
during the Self-Clean cycle.
This will help normal smoke and

WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE

CYCLE. IT CAN BURN YOU.
Special Tips
Keep the kitchen well ventilated
during the cleaning cycle to help get
rid of normal heat, odors and smoke.
Clean the oven before it gets
heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled
oven takes longer and results in
more smoke than usual.
If the cleaning cycle doesn't 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
cleaning time longer the next time
and hand clean areas noted on
page 18.

How It Works
During the self-clean cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for
baking or broiling (approximately (875°F, 468°C). This heat breaks up
grease and soil and burns it off.
The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a
self-clean cycle for 3 hours.
