Important Safety Instructions Read all instructions before using this appliance. This manual contains important safety symbols and instructions. Please pay attention to these symbols and follow all instructions given. All ranges can tip. Injury to persons could result. Install anti-tip device packed with range. See Installation Instructions. To reduce the risk of tipping, the range must be secured by properly installed anti-tip bracket provided with the range.
Important Safety Instructions NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not heat unopened food containers buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use.
Important Safety Instructions IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the surface element unit before turning it on, and turn the element off before removing the pan. Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Before Setting Oven Controls Oven vent location Types of oven racks The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.
Before Setting Surface Controls Using proper cookware Cookware material types The size and type of cookware used will influence the radiant element power level setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in both Figs. 1 & 2. The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are: Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor.
Before Setting Surface Controls About the ceramic glass cooktop Cooktop On and Hot Surface indicator lights The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
Before Setting Surface Controls Types of cooktop surface elements Home Canning The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass outline the size and type of element available. The single radiant element or elements will have one round outline pattern shown on the cooktop. The Warm Zone feature located on the center rear area of the cooktop uses one round outline and is designed to keep food warm only.
Setting Surface Controls Single radiant surface elements Important notes: To operate a single radiant element: For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting.
Setting Surface Controls Radiant surface element settings The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the surface element power level setting needed for best cooking results.
