ANote to You

General

•Read all instructions before using

the range.

•Install or locate the range only in

accordance with the provided

Installation Instructions. The

range must be installed by a

qualified installer. The range

must be properly connected to

electrical supply and grounded.

•WARNING: To reduce the risk

of tipping the appliance, the

appliance must be secured by a

properly installed anti-tip bracket.

To check if the bracket is in-

stalled properly, see “The anti-tip

bracket” on page 8.

•CAUTION: Do not store things

children might want above the

range. Children could be burned

or injured while climbing on it.

•Do not leave children alone or

unattended in area where the

range is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand

on any part of the range. They

could be burned or injured.

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety symbols and

statements. Please pay special attention to

these symbols and follow any instructions

given. Here is a brief explanation of the use

of the symbol.

Range Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•Do not use the range for warming

or heating the room. Persons

could be burned or injured, or a

fire could start.

•Use the range only for its intended

use as described in this manual.

•Do not touch surface units, areas

near units, heating elements, or

interior surfaces of oven. Surface

units and heating elements may

be hot even though they are dark

in color. Areas near surface units

and interior surfaces of an oven

become hot enough to cause

burns. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other

flammable materials contact

surface units, areas near units,

heating elements, or interior

surfaces of oven until they have

had sufficient time to cool. Other

surfaces of the range, such

as the oven vent opening, the

surface near the vent opening, the

cooktop, and the oven door and

window, could also become hot

enough to cause burns.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, injury to persons, or damage

when using the range, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

This symbol alerts you to

hazards such as fire,

electrical shock, or

other injuries.

continued on next page

•Do not operate the range if it is

damaged or not working properly.

•Do not wear loose or hanging

garments when using the

range. They could ignite if they

touch a hot surface unit and

you could be burned.

•Use only dry pot holders. Moist

or damp pot holders on hot

surfaces could result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holder

touch hot heating elements. Do

not use a towel or bulky cloth for

a pot holder. It could catch on fire.

•Keep range vents unobstructed.

•Do not heat unopened containers.

They could explode. The hot

contents could cause burns

and container particles could

cause injury.

•Use only cookware approved for

oven use. Follow cookware

manufacturer’s instructions,

especially when using glass or

plastic cookware.

•Do not store flammable

materials on or near the range.

The fumes could create an explo-

sion and/or fire hazard.

•Do not repair or replace any part

of the range unless specifically

recommended in this manual. All

other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

•Disconnect the electrical supply

before servicing the range.

When using the cooktop

•Make sure the reflector bowls are

in place during cooking. Cooking

without reflector bowls could sub-

ject the wiring and components

underneath them to damage.

•Do not line reflector bowls with

aluminum foil or other liners.

Improper installation of these

liners could result in a risk of

electrical shock or fire.

•Select a pan with a flat bottom

that is about the same size as

the surface unit. If pan is smaller

than the surface unit, some of the

heating element will be exposed

and could result in the igniting of

clothing or pot holders. Correct

pan size also improves cooking

efficiency.

•Check to be sure glass cookware

is safe for use on the range. Only

certain types of glass, glass-

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed cookware are suit-

able for cooktops without breaking

due to the sudden change in

temperature.

•Never leave surface units unat-

tended at high heat settings. A

boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spillovers

that could ignite.

Range Safety

•Turn pan handles inward, but not

over other surface units. This will

help reduce the chance of burns,

igniting of flammable materials,

and spills due to bumping of

the pan.

•Grease is flammable. Do not allow

grease to collect around cooktop

or in vents. Wipe spillovers

immediately.

•Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Smother flaming pan on range

by covering with a well-fitting lid,

cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming

grease outside of pan can be

extinguished with baking soda

or, if available, a multipurpose

dry chemical, or foam-type

extinguisher.

•Do not soak removable heating

elements in water. The element

will be damaged and shock or

fire could result.

When using the oven

•Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location while oven is

cool. If a rack must be removed

while oven is hot, do not let pot

holder contact hot heating

elements in oven.– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

•Use care when opening oven

door. Let hot air or steam escape

before removing or replacing food.

•Small amounts of formaldehyde

and carbon monoxide are given

off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from

fiberglass insulation and food

decomposition. Significant expo-

sure to these substances could

cause cancer or reproductive

harm. Exposure can be minimized

by venting with a hood or open

window and wiping out excess

food spills prior to self-cleaning.

•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.

•Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove broiler pan, broiler grid,

oven racks, and other cookware.

Do not use your oven to clean

miscellaneous parts unless you

are instructed to do so in this

Use and Care Guide.

•Do not clean door gasket. It is

essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, dam-

age, or move the gasket. Clean

only parts recommended in this

Use and Care Guide.

Using the surface units

Cookware tips................................. 10

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop

Cookware tips

•Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface unit.

•NOTE: For best results and greater

energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with

the surface units. Cookware with rounded,

warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain

enamelware), or dented bottoms could

cause severe overheating, which damages

the cookware and/or surface unit.

You can, however, use the newer

cookware available with slightly indented

bottoms or very small expansion channels.

This cookware is specially designed to

provide the good contact needed for best

cooking results.

Also, woks, canners, and teakettles with

flat bottoms suitable for use on your

cooktop are now available in most stores

that sell housewares.

•The pan should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

•Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

•The pan material (metal or glass) affects

how fast heat transfers from the surface

unit through the pan material and how

evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.

Choose pans that provide the best cooking

results.

•Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely attached

to the pan.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or

cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot

surface unit. The cookware could overheat

and damage the cookware or surface unit.

Home canning information

•Use the largest surface unit for best

results. Also, use a canner/pan which can

be centered over the surface unit and

which does not extend more than 1 inch

outside surface unit area. Large diameter

canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap

heat and can cause damage to the

cooktop.

•Start with hot water. This reduces the

time the control is set on high. Reduce

heat setting to lowest position needed to

keep water boiling.

•Keep reflector bowls clean for best

heat reflection.

•Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

Optional canning kit

The large diameter of most water-bath or

pressure canners combined with high heat

settings for long periods of time can shorten

the life of regular surface units and cause

damage to the cooktop.

If you plan to use the cooktop for canning,

we recommend the installation of a Canning

Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your

KitchenAid dealer, or call 1-800-422-1230

and follow the instructions and telephone

prompts you hear.
