te;e;zluse as described In this

tttllrtt

@Donot touch surface units,

areas near units, heating ele-

ments, or interior surfaces of

oven. Surface units and heating

elements could be hot even

though they are dark in color.

Areas near surface units and

interior surfaces of an oven

become hot enou h to cause

burns. During anB after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or

other flammable materials

contact surface units, areas

near units, heatin elements, or

interior surfaces 0 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 o ening, the cooktop, the

oven oor, and window, coulds

also become hot enough to

cause burns.

@Donot wear loose or hanging

garments when using the

range. They could ignite if they

touch a hot surface unit and

you could be burned.

continued on next page

@Useonly d potholders. Moist

or damp po 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 bulk cloth for a potholder.

It coul II7catch on fire.

*Keep range vents unobstructed.

@Donot heat unopened contain-

ers. They could explode. The

hot contents could cause burns

and container particles could

cause injury.

@Donot store flammable materi-

als on or near the range. The

fumes could create an explo-

sion and/or fire hazard.

When using the cooktop

@Donot cook on a broken

cooktop. If cooktop should

break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers could penetrate the

broken cooktop and create a

risk of electrical shock. Contact

a qualified technician imme-

diately.

@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 heatin element

will be exposed an could result!

~~~~l~~~~.n~~~r~~t~~~~~e

also improves cooking

efficiency.

@Check to be sure lass cook-

ing utensils are sa e for use

on the range. Only certain

types of glass, glass-ceramic,

ceramic, earthenware, or

other lazed utensils are

suitab B

e for cooktops without

breaking due to the sudden

change In temperature.

*Never leave surface units

unattended at high heat set-

tings. A boilover could result

and cause smokin

gm;iy sprllovers tz and

at could

@Turnpan handles inward, but

not over other surface units.

This will help reduce the

chance of burns, i niting of

flammable materia s, and

spills due to bumping of the

pan.

When using the oven

@Always position oven rack(s)

in desired location while oven

is cool. If a rack must be re-

moved while oven is hot, do

aking soda or, i? uished with

available, a

multipurpose dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

*Clean cooktop with care. Some

cleaners could reduce noxious

fumes if applie crto a hot sur-

face. If a wet pa er towel is

used to wipe s I Is on a hot7

cookin 9 area, I!e careful to

avoid s earn burns.

@Small amounts of formaldehyde

and carbon monoxide are iven

To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This

section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.

Using the surface units

Push in control knobs before turning

them

to a setting. You can set them anywhere

between HI and OFF.

Surface unit markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker shows

which surface unit is turned on by that knob.

Surface unit indicator lights

One of the Surface Unit Indicator lights on

the control panel will glow when a surface

unit is turned on.

Hot surface indicator light

The Hot Surface Indicator Light on the control

panel will glow when a surface unit becomes

too hot to touch. The Indicator Light will con-

tinue to glow as long as the surface unit is too

hot to touch, even after it is turned off.

Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to

OFF and all indicator lights are OFF

when you are not cooking.

Someone could be burned or a fire could

start if a surface unit is accidentally left

ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use the

following as a guide.

For best results, start

cooking at the high setting; then turn the

control knob down to continue cooking.

setting.

.To keep food warm until

readv to serve.

Using the ceramic glass

cooktop

Cooking on the ceramic glass cook-top is

almost the same as cooking on coil surface

units. There are, however,

few differences:

The surface unit will glow red

when it is

turned on. You will see the element cycling

on (glowing red) and off - even on HIGH

setting -to maintain the proper tempera-

ture setting you have selected.

Sliding metal pans

on ceramic glass

cooktop surface could leave marks. Wiping

off the cooktop before and after each use

will help keep the surface free from stains

and provide the most even heating. See

pages 26 and 27 for care and cleaning

suggestions.

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

some porcelain

enamelware), or dented bottoms could

cause uneven heating and poor cooking

results.

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 at-

tached to the pan.

With your hand,

feel the bottom of your

pans while they are cool for nicks and

scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan

bottoms will scratch the ceramic glass

cooktop.

Make sure bottoms

of pans are clean and

dry before using on cooktop.

Avoid spillovers

on cooktop. Use pans

with tall sides.

Do not

cook food directly on cooktop.

Product Damage Hazard

Do not leave an empty utensil, or one

which has boiled dry, on a hot surface

unit.

The utensil could overheat and could

damage

the utensil or surface unit.

Home canning information

Use the largest surface unit for

best

results.

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.

Refer

to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack,

place

the rack so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven.

Rack placement for specific foods: Burn Hazard

FOOD RACK POSITION 1

Frozen pies, large

roasts, turkeys, angel

food cakes

Lowest level or

2nd level from

bottom

Bunti cakes, most

quick breads, yeast

breads, casseroles,

meats

2nd level from

bottom

l Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location before turning oven

on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.

l If rack(s) must be moved while oven

is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

could result in burns.

Cookies, biscuits,

muffins, cakes,

nonfrozen pies

2nd or 3rd level

from bottom

When baking on two racks,

arrange racks

on bottom and third level from bottom.

NOTE:

For recommended rack placement

when broiling, see “Broiling rack position

chart” on page 17.

For best air circulation

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the

oven for even heat to reach all parts of the

oven. This results in better baking.

Place

the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

For best results, allow

Ii/2 to 2 inches

(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and

between pans and oven walls. There must

minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

Use

only one cookie sheet in the oven at

one time.

Use the following as a guide to determine

where to place the pans:

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.

Three or four pans

Place in opposite corners on each oven

rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over

another.

Using aluminum foil for baking

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers

from pies or casseroles:

Place

the foil on the oven rack below the

rack with the food.

Turn up

foil edges and

make sure

foil is about 1 inch (3 cm)

larger all around than the dish holding the

food.

l Do

not cover

the entire rack with alumi-

num foil. It will reduce air circulation and

cause poor cooking results.

Do not line

oven bottom or entire oven

rack with foil or other liners. Poor baking

will result.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard

Do not allow foil to touch the heating

elements.

Failure to follow this precaution could

result in electrical shock or fire hazard

and damage to the elements.
