SAFETY
_WARN|NG! To
prevent accidental
tipping of the range
from abnormal usage,
including excessive loading
of the oven door, attach the

cause burns even though they are
dark in color During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or flammable
material contact the zones or hot
surfaces until they have had time to
cool Other surfaces near the oven
vent openings, oven door and
window, and cooktop surfaces may

iMPORTANT SAFETY
HOTICE!
The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the governor of
California to publish alist of
substances known to the state
to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires
businesses to warn their cus-
tomers of potential exposure to
such substances. The fiberglass
insulation in a self.cleaning oven
will give off avery small amount
of carbon monoxide during the
cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an
open door or window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
IMPORTANT: 1'he health of some
birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the
self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well,
ventilated room.

OPERATION
RadiantCooktopCooking
When the knobs are turned on, coils
beneath the glass radiate heat
through the glass to the cooking
utensil, tt will take a few minutes for
the coils to heat; as they do, a red
glow can be seen on the surface of
the cooktop
1. Push down to turn
the knob
2. Set on or between o_F
numbers for ._'_i o
desired heat .
The surface unit indicator light will
glow when any cooking zone is
activated
It is normal to see the elements glow
red and then dark while cooking at
settings below high This cycling on
and off is used to maintain your
selected control setting Cycling when
the selector is set on Hi is due to poor
transfer of heat to cookware that is not
flat The temperature limiters of the
cooking zones may turn the radiant
coils on and off while cooking or
canning to provide protection against
the overheating of the glass ceramic
This procedure helps maintain an
even cooking temperature without
allowing the cooking zones to
overheat
Water-bath or pressure canners and
large diameter pots extending more
than 1" beyond the edge of the
cooktop element may be used for
canning However, do not use large
diameter canners, pots or pans for
anything other than boiling water,
Most syrup or sauce mixtures, and all
types of frying, cook at temperatures
much higher than boiling water Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the cooktop surfaces surrounding the
surface units.
Hi Used for quick starts, such as
bringing water to a boil.
IVIED Used for slow boil and
saut6ing
LO Used for steaming foods or
keeping cooked foods at

Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources, These are
available from manufacturers such
as Ball®and Kerr ®, or the Depart-
ment of Agriculture Extension
Service
Use caution while canning, to
prevent burns from steam or heat
