HOW TO USE THE OVEN

The oven is controlled by two separate knobs, the Broil / Oven Control Knob is used to select the mode of operation used for cooking and the Oven Temperature Knob which is used to set the desired cooking temperature. When the Broil / Oven Control knob is in the or “standby” position, the heating elements will not operate. You must first select the appropriate cooking mode (Broil or Oven/Bake) and then select the desired temperature as described in the instructions below.

USING THE SURFACE UNITS

· Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

· Do not use the cooktop if broken. If the glass should break, cleaners and or spills may penetrate the broken cooktop and present a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

· Avoid scratching the glass. The cooktop can be easily scratched by using items similar to knives, sharp object, rings, jewelry.

· Avoid storing items that can melt or possibly catch fire on the glass cooktop, even if not in use. In the even the cooktop is accidentally turned on and or heat from the oven vent may cause items to melt or ignite.

· NEVER COOK DIRECTLY ON THE GLASS, ALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE COOKWARE.

BURNER CONTROL KNOB

The range comes with four burners. To operate the burners simply push in and turn the knob to the desired position. These controls go from low to high power output, having a number of positions To switch off the Burner, turn the burner control knob to the setting position.

Your range is equipped with four surface units with two different sizes. Twho of them are 6” and two of them are 8” in size. The surface controls are easily operated. Simply push in and turn the knob to the desired position.

- 8” Large burners: 1800 Watts

- 6” Small burners: 1200 Watts

When the element is energized, the indicator light will be lit regardless of the setting when one or more of the elements are turned on. The control has a variable of power output from LO to HI with a number of positions. The range of heat is increased by turning the knob to HI, decreased by turning the knob toLO.

IMPORTANT: To switch on, always lightly press the control knob inwards then turn.

TO AVOID OVERCOOKING, REMOVE POTS / PANS FROM THE COOKTOP WHEN THE FOOD IS COOKED. AVOID PLACING ANY OBJECTS ON THE COOKTOP UNTIL IT HAS COOLED DOWN COMPLETELY.

WARNING Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the range, to avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach the cooking pots/pans.

COOKWARE TIPS

The physical characteristics of pots and pans influence the performance of any cooking systems. Therefore, emphasis must be placed on the importance of using proper cookware.

· Use cooking vessels with flat bottoms and tight-fitting lids to conserve energy and shorten cooking times.

· Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed cookware are suitable for use on glass cooktops. Manufacturers suggest using low to medium heat selections when using glass cookware.

· Pan size should match the element size. A slightly larger pan covers the entire element and prevents spillovers from contacting the heat surface and burning in. Using a smaller pan than the element is a waste of energy.

· To avoid spattering and to maximize efficiency, pan bottoms should be clean and dry before coming in contact with the cooktop.
