or in the storage drawer (if equipped). This includes
paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks,
plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not
store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or
property damage.
This guide contains important safety symbols and instructions. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow all
instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of the use of these symbols.
Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a
range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces
facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven door and window.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the range
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
off the range. If the range is not turned off and the power
resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements—To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface elements.
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating
Elements— Surface heating elements should never be
immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves
during normal operation.
• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High
Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit reflector pans, drip bowls, oven bottom or any other part
of the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in the
Cooking Guide. Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place—
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for rangetop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that
the element is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are
touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Door—Stand to the side of the
range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or
steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented
through the right rear surface element. Touching the surfaces
in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot oven element or interior of the
oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler
pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a
damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the range or turn off the power to the range before
removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area
underneath each surface element. 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.

Electrical Hook-Up This appliance must be connected to a grounded 120/240 volt or 120/208 volt range
outlet. If no outlet is available, have one installed by a qualified electrician.
Levelling For proper baking results, your range should be level and rest firmly on a level floor.
Screw type levelling legs are provided at each corner of the range at the base. To
adjust them, remove the storage drawer and pull it out.
The drawer may be removed by pulling it forward as far as it will go, lifting up the
front edge up and pulling it forward again.
To level the range:
1. Use a 1 1/4” open end key or an adjustable wrench to equally back out the four
levelling legs two to three turns each.
2. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.
3. Place the range where it will be installed, then put a spirit level on the rack to
check for levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first
in one direction, and then the other.
4. Use the key or wrench to adjust the levelling legs. Turn each one until the range
stands firm without wobbling.
5. Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving. If your
range has rollers make sure the levelling legs supplied are in the raised position
when moving the appliance. When the appliance is in its final location, use the
levelling legs to level and support the appliance. If the appliance is not supported
by the levelling legs, it may move if the oven door is suddenly opened.

Setting Surface
Controls
To Operate the Surface Element
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a
lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly
on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed.
3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on.
Always turn the element off before removing the pan.
4. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the
pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are
turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking is finished is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off .
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-
weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Setting Type of Cooking
MAX Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan
broiling
MED / MAX (6-7-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MED (4-5) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces
and gravies, steam vegetables
MED / MIN (2-3) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
MIN Keep warm, melt, simmer
Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to the element.

Note: *The U.S. Department of Agriculture says "Rare beef is popular, but you should
know that cooking it to only 140°F/60°C means some food poisoning organisms may
survive." (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA REV. June 1985.)
Before Setting Oven
Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented under the right rear surface element. When the oven is on,
warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING
THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
ARRANGING OVEN RACKS WITH
4 RACK POSITIONS
To bake on one rack, place the
rack on position 2. To bake on two
racks (some models), place the
racks on positions 1 and 3.
REMOVING &
REPLACING OVEN RACKS
To remove, pull the rack forward
until it stops. Lift up front of rack and
slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto
the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the
front of the rack upward and slide the
rack back into place.
Air Circulation in the
Oven
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.
For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2-
4" around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch
each other, the door, sides or back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the
pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
Setting Oven Controls Refer to the Electronic Oven Control Guide located in the literature package for
oven settings.

For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these
characteristics:
Selecting Surface
Cooking Utensils
Pans should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface
element. Check for flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom. There should be
no gaps between the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for its
intended purpose. Follow
manufacturer's instructions. Some
utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used
but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt fuse is provided for each of
the electric outlet(s) (2 max.) located on top of the control panel. To access the
fuse(s) raise the control panel cover. Models with no electric outlet have no fuse.

REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS
LATER.
Porcelain Enamel Oven
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners
can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain
on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with
the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well
with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If nec-
essary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT
mix ammonia with other cleaners.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing
bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the top
rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how
the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or seal, handles or any
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can dam-
age these surfaces.
AVOID SPILLOVERS from pies and casseroles by using the next larger size casserole
dish or a cookie sheet placed on an oven rack below the cake or pie. Do not overfill
cake or pie pans.
Ammonia must be
rinsed before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventilation.
Oven Cleaning
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
•Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
•Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the oven.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or any other part of
the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).

General Cleaning Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range
Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the
range is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR
CLEANINGS LATER.
How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up
grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes.
Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials;
they can scratch.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs.
To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when
wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to
the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and
the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier.
The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot
element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element can be cleaned with a damp cloth—
any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A
SURFACE ELEMENT IN WATER. To remove surface elements and drip bowls, follow the
instructions under General Cleaning.
To clean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still
warm. Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for
about 20 minutes in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution made of equal parts
ammonia and water. A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive
cleansers or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and
polish, and dry with a soft cloth. To replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow the
instructions under General Cleaning.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution
of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub
with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners
or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven
cleaners on the rangetop.
Clean with hot soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Cover
stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse. Cleaners
made especially for stainless steel are recommended. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish
stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.
Remove racks. See "Removing and Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven
Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with
clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or
a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide
more easily into the rack positions.
The door may be removed to facilitate cleaning. To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in water. See "To Remove and Replace
Oven Door" on page 14.

Avoid Service Checklist Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list
includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or
materials in this appliance.
OCCURRENCE
Range is not level.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for
service.
Surface elements too hot or not hot
enough.
Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.
Drip bowls turning color or distorted
out of shape.
Surface element does not heat.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack.
Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level,
cooktop may appear out of alignment if counter top is not level.
Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact
a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets
are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact builder or installer to make
appliance accessible.
Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over
carpet. Carpet should not extend under the range.
Incorrect control setting. Raise or lower setting until proper amount of heat is
obtained. Dial markings indicate relative heat settings and will vary slightly.
Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials
and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy and medium-weight pans heat
evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause
corrosion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover
Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls
as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop
surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO
NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the
element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer.
No power to range. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this
section.
Low heat setting. At extremely low heat settings, the surface element indicator may
come on before the surface element starts to operate. Turn the control to a slightly
higher setting until the element comes on.
Surface elements not seated properly in terminal. Turn control to OFF . Be sure
surface element is COOL. Lift out surface element. Position the element properly,
following instructions under General Cleaning.
Incorrect control knob turned on. Be sure to use the correct control knob for the
element to be used.

15
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
House fuse blown and needs replaced, or circuit breaker tripped and needs reset.
Be sure electrical cord is securely plugged into the electrical outlet.
Service wiring not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized
servicer.
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company.
Controls are not set properly. See instructions under Setting Oven Controls to set
the controls.
No power to range. Follow steps under "Range Does Not Operate."
Temperature Control is not set properly. Make sure the Temperature Control is set
at the temperature of your choice.
Oven door is closed. Door should be open to broil stop position during broiling.
Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance
between the meat and the broiler. Preheat broil element for quick searing operation.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty
edges at right angle to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.
Grid on broiler pan wrong side-up. Grease does not drain into broiler pan. Always
place the grid on the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease
to drip into the pan.
Oven needs to be cleaned. Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning
is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive
smoking.
Many factors affect baking results. See Baking in your Cooking Guide for hints,
causes and corrections.

IMPORTANTES MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ
Lisez ces instructions avant d'utiliser l'appareil
Cesymbolevousprévientdessituations
qui risquent d'entraîner de graves blessures, la mort ou des
dommages matériels.
Ce symbole vous prévient des situations
pouvant entraîner des blessures ou dommages matériels.
• Enleveztoutle ruban et le matériau d'emballage avant
d'utiliser la cuisinière. Détruisez le cartonnage et les
sacs en plastique après déballage de l'appareil. Ne
laissez jamais les enfants jouer avec le matériau
d'emballage. N'enlevez pas la plaque signalétique.
• Installation: assurez-vous que l'appareil est
correctement installé et mis à la terre par un technicien
qualifié, conformément à la norme canadienne C22.1
de l'ACNOR, partie 1, ainsi qu'aux codes de la région.
N'installez la cuisinière que selon les instructions
d'installation fournies dans la documentation.
Demandez à votre marchand de vous recommander un
technicien qualifié ainsi qu'un centre de réparation autorisé.
Sachez comment couper le courant électrique de la
cuisinière à la boîte de fusibles ou au coupe-circuit de la
maison en cas d'urgence.
• Entretien par l'usager: ne réparez pas ou ne remplacez
pas des pièces de l'appareil à moins d'une
recommandation précise dans ce guide. Toutes les
réparations doivent être faites par un technicien qualifié, afin
de réduire les risques de blessure et de dommage de
l'appareil.
• Ne modifiez jamais l'appareil, que ce soit en enlevant
des panneaux, pieds, protège-fils, supports/vis anti-
renversement ou toute autre pièce.
Il y a risque de danger pour les
personnes ou de dommages pour la cuisinière de
s'asseoir, de s'appuyer dessus ou de s'asseoir sur ses
portes ou tiroirs. Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper sur la
cuisinière ou jouer autour. Le poids d'un enfant sur une porte
ouverte peut suffire à faire pencher la cuisinière, entraînant de
graves brûlures ou autres blessures.
Ne vous servez pas du four comme
espace de rangement.
• Rangement dans ou sur l'appareil: ne rangez pas dans
un four, près des éléments de surface ou dans le tiroir
de rangement (le cas échéant) de matériaux
inflammables, soit papiers, plastiques, tissus, livres de
cuisine, objets en plastique et torchons, ainsi que liquides
inflammables. Ne rangez pas sur ou près de la cuisinière de
produits comme bombes aérosol, risquant d'exploser et
d'entraîner incendie ou dégâts matériels.
Ne rangez pas dans les armoires au-
dessus d'une cuisinière ou sur son dosseret des articles
pouvant intéresser les enfants. En voulant atteindre ces
articles, les enfants risqueraient de se blesser gravement.
• Ne laissez pas les enfants seuls: ne les laissez pas seuls
ou sans surveillance dans un lieu où un appareil
fonctionne. Ne les laissez jamais s'asseoir ou se tenir
debout sur une pièce quelconque de l'appareil.
• NE TOUCHEZ PAS LES ÉLÉMENTS DE SURFACE, ZONES
PRÈS DE CES ÉLÉMENTS, ÉLÉMENTS CHAUFFANTS OU
SURFACES INTÉRIEURES DU FOUR. Les éléments de
surface et éléments chauffants du four peuvent être
suffisamment chauds même si leur couleur est foncée. Les
zones proches des éléments de surface peuvent devenir
suffisamment chaudes pour brûler. Pendant et après toute
utilisation, ne touchez pas et ne laissez pas les vêtements ou
autres produits inflammables venir en contact avec ces zones
à moins qu'elles aient eu le temps de se refroidir. Ces zones
comprennent surface de cuisson, surfaces orientées vers elle,
ouvertures d'évent du four et surfaces proches de ces
ouvertures, porte et hublot de four.
• Portez des vêtements appropriés: ne portez jamais de
vêtementsamplesouflottantsenutilisantcetappareil.
Ne laissez pas les matériaux inflammables et les vêtements
venir en contact avec des surfaces chaudes.
N'utilisez jamais votre appareil
pour réchauffer ou chauffer une pièce.
• N'éteignez pas les feux de friture avec de l'eau ou de la
farine: étouffez les feux avec un couvercle ou du
bicarbonate de soude, ou avec un extincteur à poudre
sèche ou à mousse.
• En chauffant de l'huile ou de la graisse, restez près de
la cuisinière. La graisse ou l'huile peuvent prendre feu si
elles devenaient trop chaudes.
• N'utilisez que des gants isolants secs: des gants
mouillés ou humides en contact avec des surfaces
chaudes peuvent causer des brûlures par la vapeur. Ne
laissez pas les gants isolants toucher les éléments chauds. Ne
vous servez pas de torchon ni de chiffon à la place d'un gant.
• Ne réchauffez pas des contenants non ouverts:
l'accumulation de pression peut faire exploser le
contenant et blesser.
Ce guide contient des instructions et symboles de sécurité importants. Veuillez faire particulièrement attention à ces symboles
et suivre les instructions données. Voici une brève explication de ces symboles.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANTES MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ (suite)
• Enlevez la porte du four si vous rangez ou jetez la
cuisinière.
• IMPORTANT: n'essayez pas de faire fonctionner la
cuisinièrelorsd'unepannedecourant. Encasdepanne,
mettez toujours les commandes de la cuisinière sur
arrêt. Sinon, lorsque le courant reviendra, la cuisinière se
mettra à fonctionner de nouveau et la nourriture laissée sans
surveillance pourrait prendre feu ou déborder.
INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES POUR
L'UTILISATION DE LA TABLE DE CUISSON
• Sachez quel bouton commande chacun des éléments
chauffants de surface.
• Choisissez des ustensiles de bonne dimension. Cette
cuisinière est équipée d'un ou de plusieurs éléments de surface
de différentes tailles. Choisissez des ustensiles à fond plat,
recouvrant l'élément chauffant. Avec des ustensiles de
dimension insuffisante, une partie de l'élément chauffant sera
exposée et risquera de mettre le feu aux vêtements. Un bon
contact entre l'ustensile et l'élément améliore aussi l'efficacité.
• Tournez toujours les ustensiles pour que les poignées
se trouvent vers l'intérieur et non au-dessus d'autres
éléments de surface: pour réduire le risque de brûlures,
d'inflammation de matériaux et de renversement par suite du
contact accidentel avec l'ustensile, la poignée d'un ustensile
doit être placée vers l'intérieur et non au-dessus des éléments
de surface.
• N'immergez pas et ne trempez pas les éléments de
surface amovibles: Ils se nettoient d'eux-mêmes lors d'un
fonctionnementnormal.
• Ne laissez jamais les éléments de surface sans
surveillance à des réglages élevés: les débordements
peuvent causer de la fumée, la graisse peut s'enflammer ou
bien une casserole sans liquide peut fondre.
•Revêtements protecteurs: n'utilisez pas de papier
aluminium pour recouvrir la plaque de sole du four, les
cuvettes de propreté des éléments de surface ou tout autre
partie de la cuisinière, sauf selon les recommandations du
guide de cuisson. Une mauvaise installation de ces
revêtements peut entraîner un risque de décharge électrique
ou d'incendie.
• Assurez-vous que les cuvettes de propreté sont en
place, sinon les fils ou pièces se trouvant en dessous risquent
d'être endommagés par la cuisson.
• Ustensiles de cuisson en poterie: seuls certains types
d'ustensiles en verre/céramique, céramique, poterie,
peuvent être utilisés sur le dessus de la cuisinière, sans se
casser par suite de changement brusque de la température.
Vérifiez les recommandations du fabricant.
• N'utilisez pas de couvercle d'élément de surface
décoratif. Si un élément est accidentellement allumé, le
couvercle risque de chauffer et éventuellement de fondre.
Vous ne verrez pas que l'élément est allumé. Vous risquez
de vous brûler en touchant les couvercles. Aussi, il y a risque
d'endommagement de la surface de cuisson.
INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES POUR
L'UTILISATION DU FOUR
• Soyez prudent en ouvrant la porte: tenez-vous sur le
côté de la cuisinière pour ouvrir la porte d'un four chaud.
Laissez la vapeur ou l'air chaud s'échapper avant de placer
ou d'enlever la nourriture.
• Ne bloquez pas les conduits de ventilation du four. La
ventilation se fait par l'élément de surface arrière droit. Si
vous touchez les surfaces dans cette zone lorsque le four
fonctionne,vousrisquezdevousbrûler. Aussi,neplacezpas
d'articles en plastique ou sensibles à la chaleur sur ou près
de l'orifice de ventilation. Ces articles pourraient fondre ou
s'enflammer.
• Emplacement des grilles. Placez toujours les grilles à
l'endroit voulu lorsque le four est froid. Si la grille doit être
déplacée alors que le four est chaud, soyez extrêmement
prudent. Servez-vous de gants isolants et saisissez la grille
des deux mains pour la remettre en place. Ne laissez pas
les gants entrer en contact avec l'élément du four ou
l'intérieur du four. Enlevez tous les ustensiles déposés sur
la grille avant de la déplacer.
•Ne vous servez pas de la lèchefrite sans sa grille. La
lèchefrite et la grille permettent à la graisse de s'égoutter et
de rester à l'écart de la forte chaleur.
•Ne recouvrez pas de papier aluminium la grille de la
lèchefrite. La graisse ainsi exposée pourrait prendre feu.
•Ne touchez pas l'ampoule chaude (certains modèles)
avec un linge humide. L'ampoule risquerait d'éclater.
Débranchez la cuisinière ou coupez l'électricité avant
d'enlever et de remettre une ampoule.
INSTRUCTIONS DE NETTOYAGE
IMPORTANTES
• Nettoyez régulièrement la cuisinière pour que toutes
ses pièces soient libres de graisse risquant de
s'enflammer. Faites particulièrement attention à la zone
sous chacun des éléments de surface. Maintenez propres
les filtres à graisse et les hottes à évacuation. Ne laissez pas
la graisse s'y accumuler. Les dépôts de graisse dans le
ventilateur pourraient s'enflammer. Reportez-vous aux
instructions de nettoyage fournies par le fabricant de la
hotte.
