mMPORTANT mNSTRUCTmONS FOR USmNGYOUR
COOKTOP
Use proper flame size--Adjust flame size
so itdoes not extend beyond the edge of the utensil, The use
of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner
flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing,
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve
efficiency,
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners, If you use a stove top grill on a
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and
can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards, This can be hazardous to your
health,
o Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place
a pan of food on the burner before turning iton, and turn
the burner off before removing the pan,
o Atways turn the knob to the full LITE position when
igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit,
Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the
o Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface burners of different sizes, Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
burner, The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing, Proper relationship of utensil
to the surface burner will also improve efficiency,
o Utensil bandies should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners, 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 to adjacent surface burners,
o Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt,
o Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested
in this manual, Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire,
o Gtazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature, Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use,
o Do not use Searing Gritt on the cooktop. The searing
grill is not designed for use on the cooktop, Doing so may
result in a fire,

Setting Proper Surface Burner F_ame Size
For most cooking =start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower
one to complete the process, Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking, The size and type of
utensil used and the amount of food being cooked wiii influence the setting
needed,

Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling,
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming,
Keep foods cooking; poachl stewing,
For deep fat frying =use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly, if the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy, if the
fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked,
Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown
nor cook properly,
*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metaJ or aluminum
pans. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color of the
flame isthe key toproper burner adjustment, Agood flame isclear, blue and hardly
visible in a well-lighted room, Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp,
Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange,

Cooking reformations
Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element
of the oven,
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks, (Remove all utensils before preheating
the oven, Foods will stick if placed on hot metal,) To preheat, set the control(s) to BROIL
as instructed in the Owner's Guide, Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about
2 minutes, Preheating is not necessa_7 when broiling meats well-done,
To Broil
Broil on side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side, Season and
serve, Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food,
Determine Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely, Time not only depends on the distance from element, but on the thickness and
aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred, The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than second, Frozen
meats also require additional time, Some ['_odels
Broiling Tips (some mode_s} G,_,o'-_
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler,
DO NOT use your pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil.The
exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the

Seff-C eaning
During the Self-Cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can become
very hot to the touch, DO NOTleave small
children unattended near the appliance,
The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the Self-Cleaning cycle of any
range, Move birds toanother well-ventilated
room,
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or anyother part of the
range with aluminum foit, Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent
damage tothe oven interior (aluminum foil
will melt tothe interior surface of the oven),
DO NOT force the oven
door open, This can damage the automatic
door locking system, Use caution when
opening the door after the Self-Cleaning
cycle is completed, The oven may still be
VERY HOT,

Seff-C_eaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth,
Adhere to the following cJeaning precautions:
o DO NOT useoven cleaners oroven protective coatingsin oraround any part
of the Self-Cleaning oven,
o DO NOTclean the oven door gasket, The woven material ofthe oven door
gasket is essential fora good seal, Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or remove the gasket,
o DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket, Doing so
could cause damage,
Remove the broiler pan and insert, aHutensils and any aJuminum fo&
These items cannot withstand high cteaning temperatures.
, Oven racks do not have to be removed, if they are not removed du ring the
SelfoClean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull,
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad
oil (this wiii make the racks glide easier into the rack position),
o Remove any excessive spHIovers in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cleaning cycle, To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth, Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures, 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 leave a dull spot even after cleaning,
o Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom, These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on, Clean with soap and water,
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed,
What to Expect during C_eaning:
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher
than those used in normal cooking, Sounds of metal expansion and contrac-
tion are normal, Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed,
Smoke may appear through the oven vent,
if heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and
cause more smoke and odor than usual, This is normal and safe and should
not cause alarm, if available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning
cycle,
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a
colorless vapor,
To Set the Self-Clean Cycle
Refer to the Oven Control Guide for Self-Clean Cycle settings,
