Flame Size
Formost cooking, starton 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 sizefor
varioustypes of cooking. The sizeand type of utensilusedand the amount of food being
cooked will influencethe setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, usea thermometer and adjust the surfacecontrol knob accordingly. If the
fat istoo cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy.Jf :thefat istoo hot, the food will
brown soquicklythat the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much
food at once asthe food will neither brown nor cook properly.
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to aboil; pan broiling
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,gravies; steam
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on usingmedium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings
may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil.A higherflame simply wastes
heat and energy, and increasesyour risk of being burned by the flame.

BROIL
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.
A beep lets you know when the broil temperature isreached. Besure you center the broiler pan
directly under the broil element for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven isstill, cool. Position the rack as needed.
The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of
the broiler. DO NOT use the pan without its insert. DO NOT cover the insert with foil. The exposed
grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda
on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
To set the oven to broil
I. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool.
2. Pushthe BROIL pad g
3. Pushand hold the UP A or DOWN ARROW pad v until the desired broil setting level appears in the display. Push UP
ARROW pad A for HI broil or the DOWN ARROW pad v for LO broil. Most foods can be broiled at the HI broil setting.
Select the LO broil setting to avoid excessbrowning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done stage.
4. Placegrid on the broiler pan, then place the food on the grid. DO NOT usethe pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid
with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
5. Placethe pan on the oven rack. Open. the oven door to the broil stop position when broiling.

Broiling Information
Preheating
Preheating issuggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan before preheating.
Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILas
instructed in the "ELECTRONICOVEN CONTROLSECTION". Wait for the element to become
red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats to well-done.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side, Season and
serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the
element, but on the thickness and age of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first
side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require
additional time.

Self-Clean Oven Cycle
Adhere to the Following Precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior part of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the oven wall can become very hot
to touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is
turned off or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until the oven iscool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the
self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.DO
NOT use aluminum foil to Linethe oven bottom. This may affect cooking, or the foil could melt
and damage the oven surface.
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 wash away w th
damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Before starting the self-'clean cycle, remove excess spillovers in the oven cavity by using hot
soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to
high temperatures. DO NOT allow foo d spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface asthey may cause a
dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the inner door (see illustration to left). These areas
heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. Do
- n6t_:lean door seal because doing so can permanently damage it.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not withstand
high cleaning temperatures.
4. Remove racks from oven before self-cleaning. If they go through the clean cycle, their color
will turn slightly dull, and they will not glide easily in their slots. To make them glide easily,
wait until oven and racks are cool, then rub the racks or oven side walls with wax paper or
a cloth _-_o,,ntaining a small amount of baby or salad oil.
What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven self-cleans, it heatsto temperatures much higherthan those used in normal
cooking, Soundsof metal expansion and contraction are normal Odor isalso normal asthe
food soil isbeing removed Smoke may appear through the oven vent, locatedon the top of
the control panel.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke
and odor than usual. Thisis normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an
exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts the smoke from the self-cleaning process
into a colorless vapor.
The health of some birds isextremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.

recommendations for the
Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop_ Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) to the
ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite_ Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge
(see instructions below). This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal
markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately
after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or
scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the r'n
cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the Z
kitchen. Do not.cook foods directly on the cookt0_ surface without a pan. Do not
drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
1) Aluminum foil
Useof aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils
The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil
be,ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing or marking may affect
the ceramic glass surface.
To Clean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner, Pans, Burner Caps, and
Burner Bases
The burner grates, contoured burner pans, burner cap, and burner base should be routinely
cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improperJ ignition and an uneven flame.
Follow instructions below.
To Clean the Contoured Burner Pans
The square burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable.The burner pan
forms a recessedwell area located around each burner unit. If a spill occursin one of the four
well areas, blot up spill with an absorbentcloth. Rinsewith a clean, damp cloth and Wipe dry.
To Clean the Grat_s
Any remaining soil may be removed by gently scouring with a soapy scoudng pad. Rinsewith a
I :I solution of clean water and ammonia. Ifnecessa_ cover difficult spats with an ammonia-
soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinsewith clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub
with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinseand wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners
thoroughIyor the grate porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use
spray oven _:leaners.
To Clean the Burner Caps
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps. If necessary,
cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 minutes. Rubgently with a
soap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of clean water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove
all cleaners thoroughly or the burner cap porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
To Clean the Burner Basesand Gas Openings
The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a small-gauge wire or
needle to clean small slots or holes.Usecare to prevent damage to the electrode. If a cleaning
cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or damage the electrode. If the electrode is
damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light becauseitwill not st0ark. Manual lighting
with a match isstill possible.
Forproperflow of gasand ignition of the burner--DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS,FOOD,CLEANING
AGENTS ORANY OTHERMATERIALTO ENTERTHE GAS OPENING. Gas must flow freely
through the small hole inthe brassorifice for the burnersto light properly.Ifthe gas opening
orifice becomessoiled or clogged, usea small-gauge wire or needle to clean. ALWAYSkeep the
burner cap assemblyand ring in placewhenever a surface burner isin use.
After cleaning make sureeach burner cap is properlyaligned and level. Turn the burner on to
