IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
•Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the surface units, the areas
nearby the surface units or any interior area of the"
oven; allow suNcient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surthces
near the opening, crevices around the oven door
and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
•When cooking pork, tbllow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°K This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat,
Self-Cleaning
Oven (lower)
.Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
.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.
Residue fiom oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
•Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, rack and other cookware.
.Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
.If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect
the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician
Ovens
Surface
•Standaway from the cooking center when
opening an oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
•Use proper pan size--Select
cookware having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency,
•Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
•Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
•Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
•Keep the oven free from grease
_lace
buildup.
the oven shelves
in the desired
position while the oven is cool. If the shelves
must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements in the oven.
Cooking
Units
• Be sure the drip pans and vent are not covered
and are in place. Their absence during cooking
could damage cooking center parts and wiring.
.Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
•Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the cooking center,
•When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan
out of the range and clean it. Leftover grease
in the broiler pan can catch fire the next time you
use the pan.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
4
•To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of
a container should be turned toward the center of-the range without extending over nearby surface
units.
.Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
Always turn the surface units to off before
removing cookware.
.Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
.To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for
all surface units are at the off position and all
coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove
a surface unit.
.If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
.Always
.Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
• Do not immerse or soak removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do
not self-clean the surface units in the oven.
• Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet
cloths could cause steam burns if used on a hot

.When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
.Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
.Clean vent hood often. Do not allow grease
to build up on the hood or the filter.

INSTRUCTIONS
FLOORING UNDER THE COOKING CENTER
Your cooking cemer, like so malay other household
items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned viny 1. When moving the cooking
center on this type of flooring, use care.

carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet
of 1/4 inch thick plywood between the cooking cenlcr
and carpeting.
When the floor covering ends at the front of the
cooking center, [he area that the cooking center will
rest on should be built up with plywood or similar
nmterial to the same level or higher than the floor
covering. This will allow the cooking center to be
moved for cleaning or servicing.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
TO YOUR OLD ONE?
Your new cooktop has electric coil surihce units.
If you are used to cooking with gas burners or other
types of electric cooktops, you will notice some
differences when you use electric coils.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up al_d
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have.
The following chart will help you to understand the
differences between electric coil surface units and ally
other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
How it Works
Heats by direct contact whh the pan and by hcatit_g the air under the pan. For best
cooking results, rise good quality palls. Electric coils arc more forgiving of
warpcd pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
continue cooking for a short time after they are turned olT.
Heat travels |o the glass surface and d_cnIo Ihe cookware, so pans must be fiat on
the bottom f,r good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot cnough to
continue cooking after it is turned orL Remove the pan from the surt:ace unit il
you want cooking to stop.
Induction
High frequency
induction coils
under a glass
surface.
Pansmustbe madeof ferrousmetals(metalthat attractsa magnet),Heatis
produced by-a magnetic circuit between lhe coil and dm pm. Heats up right away
and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
off the glass cooktop is hot t%m the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Solid Disk
Solid cast iron
disk sealed to the
cooktop surface.
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must beflat on the bottom for good
cooking results. Heats up and COOLS
down more slowly than electric coils. The
disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Rcmove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
