Read all instructions carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages.
Safety • In the event of an error the display flashes and beeps continuously. Disconnect appliance from the power supply and call a qualified technician. Gas Safety WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Safety Fire Safety • • • • • • • Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance, especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.
Safety • • Burn Prevention • • • • • • • • • Child Safety • • • Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires. Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns.
Safety CAUTION: All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Safety Food Safety CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines: 1) DO NOT use the warming drawer to heat cold food (exception: it is safe to use the drawer to crisp crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates.) 2)Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer. 3)DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Getting the Most Out of Your Cooktop Cooktop Cooking Guide Boiling Water Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the following tips to decrease boil time: • • • • • • Recommended Settings Use a lid. Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of the burner. Select a pan with a flat base (See “Cookware Selection Guide” on page 30 for details). Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Another simple test to determine even heat distribution across the cookware bottom is to place 1” (25.4 mm) of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the location of the bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area. Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Pan placement on one rack Pan placement on two racks Figure 19: Pan Placement Baking Pans Here are some tips for cooking with baking pans: • • • • • Preheating the Oven Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore reduce oven temperature 25°F when baking in glass. Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate browning. Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Oven Cooking Modes Bake, Proof and Warm Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower element cycle to maintain the oven temperature. Bake mode can be used to prepare foods like pastries and casseroles as well as to roast meats.
