the unit off before removing the pan.
• 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 heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units--To reduce the risk of bums,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil
should be positionedso that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended st High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

Surface Cooking
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heatingcoils located belowthe
surface of the glass. The design ofthe glass cooktop outlinesthe area of the
surface unitbelow. Most importantly,make sure the diameter ofthe pan
matches the diameter of the unit. Heat istransferred up throughthe surface of
the cooktopto the cookingutensil.Only flat-bottomed pans shouldbe used.
The type and size ofthe cookware, number of surface units in use and the
settingsofthe unitsare factors that will affectthe amount ofheat thatwill
spread to areas surroundingthe surface units.The areas surroundingthe
unitsmay become hot enoughto cause burns.
The cooktop shouldnot be used as a cutting board or work surface inthe
kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans
with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods
directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to glass
or difficulty in cleaning will result.
Radiant Surface Units
The Radiant Surface Unit isa group of heating coilsenclosed in a ceramic
fixture below theglass cooktop.The unittemperature rises graduallyand
evenly. As the temperature rises,the unitwillglow red. To maintain the
selected setting,the unitwillcycle on and off.The heating unit retainsenough
heat to providea uniformand consistent heat duringthe off cycle. The
ceramic fixture thermally insulatesthe heating unit, concentratingheat inthe
heating zone. Forefficientcooking, turnoffthe unitseveral minutes before
cooking iscomplete. This willallow residualheat to complete the cooking
process. The amount of residualheat depends on the type and quality of
cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat
setting.
Dual Radiant Surface Units (if equipped)
The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within the
same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for operating the
different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be
used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The larger unit or
both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage and can be used to prepare
larger quantities of food in larger pans. When using the outer coil, both inner
and outer coils operate.

Oven Cleaning
& l.o-
During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the touch. DO
NOT leave small children unattended
near the appliance.
The health of some
birdsis 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
sowill destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage 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 lockingsystem. Use
cautionwhen opening the door after
the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may stillbe VERY HOT.
CLEAN FRAME
Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning ovencleans itselfwith hightemperatures (wellabove cooking
temperatures) whicheliminate soilcompletely or reduce itto a fine powdered
ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven tocool before precleaning.
• Wear rubbergloves when precleaning and while wipingupthe residue
afterthe self-clean cycle.
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protectivecoatings in or aroundany
part ofthe self-cleaningoven.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven materialof the oven
door gasket isessential for a good seal. Care shouldbe taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.
• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
couldcause damage.
2. Remove the broiler pan end insert, ell utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3. Oven racksmay be leftin the oven or may be removed. Ifthey go through
the clean cycletheir colorwillturnslightlyblueand thefinish willbe dull.
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or
salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier intothe rack position).
4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spillswith a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
