mMPORTANT mNSTRUCTmONS FOR USmNG
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 bandies shouJd be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units. 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 liners--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
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers, If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt, Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched, Damage may also be done to the
cooktop,
FOR COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY
o Do Not Immerse or Soak RemovaMe Surface Heating
Elements. Surface heating elements should never be
immerse in water, Heating elements clean themselves
o Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip BowJs Are in Ptace.
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
o Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock, Contact a qualified technician immediately,

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
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.
* Tight fitting lids.
* Weight of handle does not tilt pan.
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.
POOR
° Curved and warped pan bottoms.
* Pan overhangs unit by more than
2.5 cm (1").
, Heavy handle tilts pan,
* Pan is smalleror larger than
element,

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,

Do not place items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood could catch fire if placed too
close to the element.
Oven Vent(s) and Racks
Some modeJe are equipped with a Mower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep aH
internaJ components at a cool temperature, itis possible that the blower keeps running even if the range has been
turned off, until the components have cooled down.
Oven Vent
Location
)
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented at the right side front panel and visible when the oven door is open or
through the right rear coil element. See illustration for the exact location. When the oven
is on, warm air is released through the vent(s). This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vent(s). Doing so may
cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.

Broiling Tips
Broilon one sideuntilthefoodisbrowned;turnand cook on thesecond side.
Season and serve. AJways 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,
Broiter 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.
