Safety WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE: a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe'). c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. d) Use proper pan size.

Safety • • • • • Child Safety • • • Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe'). Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary.

Safety Cookware Safety • Keep oven free from grease build up. • • • Do not place food directly on oven bottom. Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags. Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan. Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

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 28 for details). Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).
PAGE 31
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 15: 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.
PAGE 33
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 maintain the oven temperature. Bake mode can be used to prepare foods like pastries and casseroles as well as to roast meats. Note: Depending on the model, you may hear the convection fan while the oven is preheating for the bake mode. This is normal.
PAGE 34
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance For Best Results: • • Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to Convection Baking chart. Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides. Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack • Automatic Convection Conversion In the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced 25° F from the package or recipe temperature.
PAGE 35
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance For Best Results: • • • • • • • • Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes. Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking Use the broil pan and grid included with your range Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
PAGE 36
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance For Best Results: • • • • • • Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat more that 5 minutes. Meats should be at least 1 1/2” thick. Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (See Convection Broil Chart for examples). Use the broil pan and grid included with your range. Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering. Salt after cooking.
