IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued) • IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil. • Protective liners— Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans or 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.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning. • Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use.
Specialty Pans & Trivets Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores. Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner unit) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying). DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner unit.
Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion The cooktop can be used with Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. If you wish to convert your appliance for use with LP/Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag containing the literature marked, "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions package with the orifices.
Setting Surface Controls The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning. Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.
Before Setting Warmer Drawer Control (some models) Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions Set the warmer drawer rack in the vertical position as shown beside: The rack can be used in 2 ways: • In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish under).
Setting Warmer Drawer Controls (some models) (continued) Temperature Selection Refer to the chart for recommended settings. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.
Oven Baking For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc... There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles. The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.
