FOR USING

YOUR

• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit.

Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils
having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
surface heating to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface
unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units--To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due
to 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 units.

Protective liners
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may resutt in a risk of electric shock
or fire or short circuit.

Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recom mendations for rangetop use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers, if an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop_lf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

left alone or unattended in the area where appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.

Clean cooktop glass with caution
If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR USING

YOUR

YOUR

OVEN
• Use care when opening oven doo_Stand to the side of
the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot
air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in
the oven.

• Keep ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near each side and towards the
back of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area
when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also,
do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near an
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR CLEANING

RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaustfan ventilation
hoods and grease filters shoutd be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are
flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to
the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be
aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may
ignite causing damage and injury.

SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the ovens. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The
broiler pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light butb.

IMPORTANT

• In the self=Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the
oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods
from the oven.

• Do not use oven cleaners--No commercial oven
cleaner or ovens liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Do not clean door gasket--The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or move the gasket.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.

Leveling
For good baking resutts, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are provided at
each corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the leveling legs.

24" Models

To level the range:
1. Use a 1_¼"open end key or an adjustable wrench to equally unscrew the four leveling legs
two to three turns each.
2. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.
3.

Move the range to its final position, then put a level on the rack to check for levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in one direction, and
then the othen

4.

Use the 1 _¼"key or wrench to adjust the leveling legs. Turn each one until the range
stands firm without wobbling.
Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving.

5.

If floor is flat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers (some models)
to prevent the range from moving.
If floor is not flat or level or if this model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4 leveling
legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
DO NOT use two elements (if the
cooktop is not equipped with bridge
element) to heat one large pan such
as a roaster or griddle, or allow
cooking utensils to boil dry. The
bottom surface of the pan in either
of these situations could cause

Prevent damage to cooktop:
Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch beyond the
edge of the burner grate.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to
cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars

are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained continuously for the required time.

Vent(s)

and Racks

Oven Vent Locations
The oven has its own vent located on the top, near each side and towards the back of the
cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent; this ventilation is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIORTO OPERATING THE
OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out.
To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Air Circulation
in the Oven

If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.

For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2_4" (5-10
cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other or
the door, sides and back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for
even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
