IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Keep this book for later use.
Be sure your range Is Installed and grounded properly
by a qualified technician.
Always use dry potholders when removing pans from
the oven or cooktop. Moist or damp potholders car,
cause steam burns.
£_lways follow cleaning Instruct!ons In th!s beoL
Always keep the range and oven clean. Food and
grease are easy to Ignite. Clean the range, oven and
vents regularly.
Clean Only Parts Listed In Manual.
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above a range or on the
backguard of a range. Children climbing on a
range to reach items could be seriously injured,
Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains, or
drapes a safe distance away from your range and oven.
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, potholders and
other linens a safe distance away from your range.
Never store such Items on your range.
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from
things that will burn (gasoline and other flammable
vapors and ,quids).
Never try to repair or replace any part of the range
unless Instructions are given In this book. All other
work should be done by a skilled technician.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
buildup may make container burst and cause Injury.
Never leave jars or cans of fat or drippings on or near
therange. Neverlstgreasebullduponyourrange. You
can keep grease fires from starting If you clean up
grease and spills after each range use.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Walt until the fat has cooled.
Never touch surface units, heating elements, or Interior
surfaces of the oven. They may be hot even though they
appear dark In color.
Always keep wooden utensils, plastic utensils or canned
food a safe distance away from your range.
Some cleaners produce nox-
ious 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.
Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used
for cooktop cookln_ Be sure that the pan you use wlI{
not break when heated on the cooktop elements.
Never b'oc_: fr_e airflow tl_rough the oven vent.
Choose pots and pans
_with flat bottoms, large
enough to cover the en-
tire cooktop element. This will cut down the risk of
setting potholders or clothing on fire with an uncovered
element and waste less energy.
OVEN SAFETY
Place oven racks In desired position while oven Is cool.
!f rack must be moved while oven Is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element In oven.
After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the
range and clean It. Leftover grease In the broiler pan
can catch on fire next time you use the pan.
Always use care when opening oven door. Let hot air
and steam out before moving food.
Never use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven
bottoms. Improper use of foil could start a fire.
SELF-CLEAN SAFETY
If the self-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 utensils, cookware or removable
parts of your range during a self-clean cycle.
Do Not 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 monoxide during the clean-
Ing cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
REMOVAL OF PACKAGING TAPE:
To remove adhesive left from packing tape and
ensure you do not damage the finish of your new
appliance, use an application of houFehold liquid
dish washing detergent, mineral oil, or cooking
oil. Apply with soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe
with soft cloth. DO NOT use plastic pad or
equivalent. Wipe dry and then apply an appli.
ance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the
surface. This procedure is also safe for the face
of microwave doors and other plastic parts.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from
chrome trim on range parts. It CANNOT
be removed if baked on.

To Start Things Cooking (cont.)
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 surtace unit. The pan
should not extend over the edge of the drip bowl more
then 1".
Note-" A slight odor Is normal when a new cooktop Is
used for the first time. Itis caused by the heating of new
parts and Insulating materials and will disappear In a
short time.
WOK COOKING
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottom wok,
They are available at your local retail store.
HOME CANNING TIPS
In surface cooking of foods other than canning, the use
of large-dlamater pots (extending more than 1" beyond
edge 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 DIAMETER CAN-
NERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER.
OBSERVE FOLLOWING POINTS IN
CANNING
1. Bring water to boll on HIGH heat, then after boiling
has begun, adjust heat to lowest setting to maintain
boll (saves energy and best uses surface unit).
2. Besurecannerfltsovercenterofsurteceunlt. Ifyour
range does not allow canner to be cantered on
surface unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good
canning results.
3. Flat-bottomed canners give best canning results. Be
sure bottom of canner is flat or slight Indentation fits
snugly over surface unit. Canners with flanged or
rippled bottoms (often found In enamelware) are not
recommended.
4. When canning, use recipes from reputable sources.
Reliable reclpas are available from the manufacturer
of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for can-
ning, such as Bell and Kerr; and the United States
Department of AgrlcuItura Extension Bervlce.
5. Remember, In following the recipes, thel canning Is a
process that generatee large amounts of steam. Be
camfulwhllacannlng topraventburnsfromstsamorhsat.
NOTE-" If your range Is belng operated on low power
(voltage), canning may take longer than expected, even
though dlractlons have been carefully followed. The
process may be improved by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) beginning with hot tap water when hsetlng
larger quantities of water.
Most syrup or sauce mixtures -- and all types of frying
--cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water.
Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop sur-
faces surrounding heating units.

GENERAL RULES
When cooking a food for the first time In your new
oven, uN time given on reCllpU se s guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and Is apt to be more accurate than the oven It
replaced.
After you have used your oven for awhile, If you feel
your oven should he hotter or cooler, you can adjust
h yourself. See TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
In this manual.
NO PEEKING -- Opanlng the door too often to check
food during baking will allow heat loss end may
cause poor be,king results.
There may he some odor when the oven Isfiret used.
This Is caused by the heating of new paris and
Insuistlon.
Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not placa any foil directly above the bake
element. Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface; therefore, It
should not be used.

OVEN COOKING (continued)
PREHEATING
When recipes require preheatlng, 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. Listen for preheat notlficetlon tone
(ifequipped) or watch forthe Indicator light to go off.
If your range does not have either of these features,
preheat for 10 minutes and put the food In the oven.

TOP LEVEL: GUIDE ONLY!
_,_RACK POSITIONS
Cookies should be'baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to clrcuiete properly. .rN.'_
NOTE: YOUR OVEN HAS FOUR(4)
RACK POSITIONS.
Place pens on the oven racks with 1" to I 1/2" of air
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
_/,_e___ / _ ,_.__ the oven.
Cakes, muffins, and quick breads should be baked
in shiny pans -- to reflect the heat -- because they
should have a light golden crust. Be sure the
underside of the pan is shiny, too. Darkened under-
sides will absorb the heat and may cause over-
browr_.[ngon the bottom of your food.
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.
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures If exterior of
pans are dark non-stick, darkened by age or oven
proof glass.
BAKING
Always follow recipe carefully.
Measure ingredients properly.
Use proper pan and rack placement to obtain the
beat cooking results.
When baking several Items, stagger pans so that no
pan is directly above another.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the
oven bottom block the free movement of air. Im-
proper air movement causes uneven browning and
cooking.

BROILING TIPS I_
Please note:
Your oven door should
be open to the broil I_1_
stop position white
broiling.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
Do not preheat when broiling. For even broiling
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.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking. Broil with skin side down. It Is not
necessary to turn fish.
Never leave a soiled broiler pan in the range,
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.
• Do not lock
the oven lock/
unlock handle
while broiling.
The oven lock/
unlock handle Is
used for self-
clean onty.
