BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Keep this book for later use.
Be sure your range Is Installed and grounded properly
by a qua,fled technician.
Atways use dry potholders when removing pans from
the oven or cooktop. Moist or damp pothotders can
cause steam burns.
Always follow cleaning instructions In this book.
Always keep the range and oven clean. Food and
grease are easy to Ignite. Clean the range, oven and
vents regularly,
C_e_n Only Parts Listed In Manual.
CAUTBON: Do not store items of interest to
chigdren _ cabinets above a range or on the
backg_uard of a range. Children climbing on a
rae_ge _o reach items could be seriously injured.
Allways keep combustible wall coverings, curtains, or
drapes a safe distance away from your range and oven.
A_ways keep dish towels, dish cloths, potholders and
other linens a safe distance away from your range.
Hover store such items on your range.
Always keep the appllance area clear and free from
_hings that will burn (gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids).
Reve_ try to repair or replace any part of the range
unless Instructions are given in this book. All other
world"should be done by a skilled technlclano
_ever heat unopened food containers. Pressure
buildup may make container burst and cause Injury.
_ever leave jars Or cans of fat or drippings on or near
_herange. Neverlstgreasebullduponyourrange. You
can keep grease fires from starting If you clean up
grease and spills after each range use.
_ever try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
Neve_ touch surface units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of the oven. They may be hot even though they
appear dark In color.
#,_vJaySkeep wooden utensils, plastic utensils or canned
food a safe distance away from your range.
Some cleaners produce nox-
lous fumes and wet cloths or
sponges could cause steam
burns If used on a hot surface.
COOKTOP SAFETY
Always use care when touching the cooktop. Heating
elements could be hot enough to burn you even if they
are dark in color.
Onty some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used
for cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will
not break when heated on the cooktop elements.
Never block free airflow through the oven vent.
_ Choose pots and pans
withflatbottoms,largo
.......... enough to cover the en-
tire cooktop element. This will cut down the risk of
setting pot holders or clothing on fire with an uncovered
element and waste less energy.
OVEN SAFETY
Paace oven racks In desired position whlleoven Isco01.
If rack must be moved white oven Is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element In oven.
#.tfter broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the
range and clean It. Leftover grease In the broiler pan
can catch on fire the next time you use the pan.
Always use care when opening oven door. Let hot air
and steam escape before moving food.
Never use aluminum folt to line drip bowls or oven
bottoms. Improper use of foil could start a fire.
SELF=CLEAN SAFETY
Df the seN.cleaning mode malfunctions, turn off
and disconnect the power supply. Have serviced by a
qualified technician.
Always remove broiler pan and other utensils from the
oven before a self-clean cycle.
Never rub, move, or damage the door gasket on self-
cleaning ranges. The gasket is essential for a good seal.
Never try to clean utenslls, cookware or removable
parts of your range during a self-clean cycle.
Do No_ 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.

iMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act requires the governor of California to publish
a list of substances known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm and requires busi-
nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass Insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a
very small amount of carbon monoxldeduring the clean-
lng cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

To Start Things Cooking (to.to)
For best cooking results and energy efficient operation,
you should use pans that are flat on the bottom. Match
the size of the pan to the size of the surface unit. The pan
should not extend over the edge of the drip bowl more
than1",
5_ote= A slight odor Is normal when a new cooktop Is
used for the first time. it is causad by the heating of new
parts and Insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
OBSERVE FOLLOWIHG POINTS iN
CANN|NG
1. Brlng water to boll on HIGH heat, then after bolllng
has begun, adjust heat to lowest setting to maintain
boll (saves energy and best uses surface unit).
2. Be sure canner fits over center ofsurface unit. If your
range does not allow canner to be centered on
surface unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good
canning results.
3. Flat-bottomedcannersgivebestcannlng results. Be
sure bottom of canner isflat or sllght Indentation fits
snugly over surface unit. Canners with flanged or
tippled bottoms (often found In enamelware) are not
recommended.
WOK COOKING
We recommend that you use only a fiat.bottom wok,
They are available at your local retail store.
HOME CAN ING TIPS
In surface cooking of foods other than canning, the use
of large-diameter pots (extending more than 1" beyond
_:lge of drip pan) is not recommended. However, when
canning with water-bath or pressure canner, large-di-
ameter pots may be used. This Is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
cooktop surfaces surrounding heating unit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DDAMETER CAN-
HERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYSNG OR BORLgHG FOODS OTHER THAN WATER,
,Most syrup or sauce mixtures-- and all types of frying
--cook at temperatures much higherthan bolllng water.
Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop sur-
faces surrounding heating units.
4. When canning, use recipes from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes are available from the manufacturer
of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for can-
ning, such as Ball and Kerr; and the United States
Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
5. Remember, in following the recipes, that canning ts a
process that generates large amounts of steam. Be
carefulwhllecannlng topreventbumsfrom steamorheat.
NOTE" If your range is being operated on low power
(voltage), canning may take longer than expected, even
though directions have been carefully followed. The
process may be Improved by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) beglnnlng with hot tap water when heating
larger quantities of water.

OVEN COOKING
GENERA;- RULES
• When cooking a food for the first time In your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
After you have used your oven for awhile, If you feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
it yourself. See TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
In this manual.
° NO PEEKIN G-- Opening the door too often to check
food during baking will allow heat loss and may
cause poor baking results.
° There may be some odorwhen the oven Isfirst used.
This Is caused by the heating of new parts and
Insulation.
° Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foU directly above thebake
element. Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface, therefore, it
should not be used.
PREHEATING
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door Is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature will be lost.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked products. Watch for the Preheat indicator
Light to go off or listen for a preheat notification
tone. If your oven Is not equipped with either of
these, preheat for 10 minutes before you put food In
the oven.
BAKEWARE
• Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate properly.
o
° Cakes, muffins, and quick breads should be baked
In shiny pans -- to reflect the heat -- because they
should have a light golden crust. Yeast breads and
pie crusts should be baked In glass or dull (non-
shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat --. because they
should have a brown, crisp crust.
° Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny, too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.
. Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures if exterior of pan
has a dark non-stick finish, darkened by age or when
baking in oven-proof glass.

BAKING:
, Always follow recipe carefully.
, Measure Ingredients properly.
• Use proper pan and rack placement to obtatn the
best cooking results.
NOTE:
The top position is only a guide, lit cannot be used
as a rack position.
RACK POSITIONS
NOTE: YOUR OVEN HAS FOUR (4)
RACK POSITIONS.
Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to I 1/2" of air
space on al! sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.
The oven will start to heat automatically. You will see
100 degrees showing in the upper right corner of the
display. ASthe oven heats thls temperature wlll change

Jcontrol Is letting you know you need to continue.
You should consider that food will continue to cook
after control turns OFF unless you remove the food
immediately°
When baking several items, stagger pans so that no
pan is directly above another.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls orto the
oven bottom block the free movement of air. Improper
air movement causes uneven browning and cooking.

BROnUNG T_P$:
Please note:
Y_u_ oven doer should
be open to _he broilstop
pos_t_en whiSe broiling.
. Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for brolllng. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
o Do not preheat when broiling. For even brolllng
on both sides, start the food on a cold pan.
. Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops. Slit
the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
. For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side just before
serving.
o Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grtd to
prevent sticking. It Is not necessary to turn fish.
Broil chicken skin side down.
o Never geabe a soiged broiler pan in the oven.
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven is used.
. Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting
out a grease fire. See the section on safety.
The closer the food Is to the broil element, the faster the
meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink In the
canter. Moving the meat farther away from the element
lets the meat cook to the center while browning outside,
Side one should be cooked 1 - 2 minutes longer than
side two.

This chart Is a general guide. The size, weight, thick-
ness, and starting temperature of the food, as well as
your own personal preference, will affect the cooklng
time. Times In the chart are based on the food being at
refrigerator temperature. "the U.S. Department of
Agriculture notes: Rare meats are popular, but
cooking meats to only 140°F means some poi-
soning organisms may survive.
PO$ TIONmNG BROnLER PAN
Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the broil element.
Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat should be se-
lected for broiling. For best results, steaks and chops
should be at least 3/4" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan and grid, put the
pan on an oven rack In the proper position. The recom-
mended rack position andcooking time can be found In
the following chart. If your oven is connected to 208
volts, you may want to preheat and position the oven

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than
the oven It replaced. We recommend that you use your
new oven a few weeks to become more familiar with it,
following the times g!ven In your recipes as a gulde.
Your oven has been preset to maximize cooking
efficiency. If you think your new oven is too hot
(burning foods), or not hot enough (foods are under-
cooked) you can adjust the temperature yourself. The
appearance and texture of foods Is a better Indicator of
oven accuracy than an Inexpensive oven thermometer.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
themtometers, such as thosefound in the grocery
store_ to readjust the temperature setting of your
new oven. These thermometers can vary by 20°-40°F.
Also, you must open the oven door to read the
thermometer end this changes the temperature of the
oven.
TOdecide how much to change the tempe rature, set the
oven temperature 25°F higher (if foods are under-
cooked) or 25°F lower (if foods are burning) than the
temperature In your recipe, then bake. The results of
this "test" should give you an Idea of how much the
temperature should be changed.
To adjust temperature folgow these instructions:
3. Press the UP arrow to Increase your
oven'stemperature up to +35_Ho'n'ER,
Presst he DOWN arrow pad to decrease
your oven's temperature down to -35°
COOLER.
4. When your selection Iscomplete press
the CLOCK pad to return to the time of
day.
Your oven's thermostat will retain this temperature
adjustment until each of the four steps above are
repeated. This adjustment will remain In memory even
after a power failure.
You will not need to do anything else. Bake as you
normally would. This adjustment will not affect broil or
clean temperature.
1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Press the UP arrow pad tO set 550 ° and
IIMMEDHAT_ELY press and HOLD the
BAKE pad for 10 seconds until the
clock dlsappearsandthe display shows
a two digit figure.
(This two digit number may vary
according to the original factory
setting.)
