YOUR COOKTOP
o 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 flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handJes shouJd be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface unite. To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
Never Jeave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accumu-
lations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
Protective Jiners--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

Pans should have fiat bottoms that
make good contact with the entire sur-
face element, Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom,
There should be no gaps between the
pan and ruler,
Note: Always use a utensil for its in-
tended purpose. Follow
manufacturer's instructions. Some
utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.
*GOOD
t t
o Flat bottom and straight sides.

Pan is well balanced.
* Pan sizes match the amount of
food to be prepared and the size of
the surface element.
* Made of material that conducts heat
well.
* Easy to dean.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots,
griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above
recommended cookware requirements.

Specialty Pans & Trivets
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets,
Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the surface elements,
DO NOT use two elements 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 discoloring or crazing of the range surface.
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metaJ ring, Because this ring
traps heat, the surface eJement and
cooktop surface could be damaged,

water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury,
Broiling Tips
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan
before preheating. Foods wHUstick if pUaced on hot metaL) To preheat, set the
oven controU(s) to BROIL as instructed in the "ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL
SECTION'. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes.
Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats to welPdone.
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side,
Season and serve. Atways pull rack out to the "stop" position before
turning or removing food.
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,
Broiler Ctean-Up Tips:
To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil.
DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil,
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as
soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is
extremely hot. Pour off grease, Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water,
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. if necessary, use
soap°filled steel wool pads, Heavy scouring may scratch the grid,

Oven CReaning
Seff°CWean Oven Cycle
Adhere to the Following Precautions:
Ailow the oven to cooi before cieaning,
Wear rubber gioves when cieaning any exterior part of the oven manualiy,
Before cieaning any part of the oven, be sure the eHectronb oven
controi is turned off or eise press CANCEL pad, Wait until the oven is cool
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 line the 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 with damp cloth,
Preparing the Oven for Seff-C_eaning
1, Before starting the seif-ciean cycie, remove excess spHiovers in the oven cavity
by using hot soapy water and a cioth, Large spHiovers can cause heavy smoke or
fire when subjected to high temperatures, DO NOT allow food spilis with a high
sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie flirting) to
remain on the surface as they may cause a duli spot even after cieaning,
2, Ciean any soii from the oven frame and the inner door (see illustration to Heft),
These areas heat sufficientiy during seif-cieaning cycie to burn soii on, Ciean with
soap and water, Do not clean door seai because doing so can permanentiy
damage it,
3, Remove the broiler pan and insert, ali utensiis and any foil These items do not
withstand high cieaning temperatures,
4, Remove racks from oven before seif-cieaning, if they go through the clean cycie,
their color wili turn siightiy duli, and they wili not giide easiiy in their shots, To
make them giide easiiy, wait untii oven and racks are cool then rub the racks or
oven side walis with wax paper or a cioth containing a smali amount of baby or
salad oil,
What to Expect During C_eaning
While the oven seif-cieans, it heats to temperatures much higher than those used in
normai cooking, Sounds of metai expansion and contraction are normal Odor is aiso
normai as the food soii is being removed, Smoke may appear through the oven vent,
iocated on the top of the controi panel
if heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more
smoke and odor than usual, This is 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,
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,
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,
DO NOT line
the oven walls, racks, bottom
or any other part of the range
with aluminum foil, Doing so
wiii destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results
and cause permanent
damamge 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,
