Determine whether you will anchor the
bracket to the floor or wall. Make sure this
location is clear of electrical wiring or
plumbing.
Fasten the bracket securely with the screws
provided. Screws are self-drilling in wood,
plywood, particle and chip board, and

NEVER LEAVE jars or cans of fat or
drippings in your oven.
ALWAYS KEEP the oven and surface unit
areas free from things that will bum. Food,
wooden utensils, grease buildup, gasoline and
other flammable vapors or
liquids could catch fire.
Plastic utensils could melt and
canned foods could explode.
Your appliance should never
be used as a storage area.
SOME CLEANERS produce _,
noxious fumes and wet cloths
or sponges could cause steam
burns.
NEVER WEAR hanging or loose fitting
clothing when using your appliance.
NEVER USE a towel or other
bulky cloth as apotholder and
make sure the potholder is
dry. Moist potholders could
cause steam bums. Do not let

_lements.
WLY SOME kinds of glass or ceramic
9okware can be used for cooktop cooking.
lake sure the cookware you choose to use is
esigned for cooktop cooking without
reaking due to the sudden changes in

ILWA YS USE care when touching cooktop
-ooking zones. They will retain heat after the
"ange has been turned off.
NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent on the
backguard of the range.
COOKWARE USED for
cooktop cooking should be
flat on the bottom and large
enough to cover the heating area being used.
This will improve heating efficiency.
Undersized utensils expose the heating area
and may result in direct contact or ignition of
clothing.
NEVER LEA VE surface units unattended at
high settings. Boilovers result in smoking or
greasy spills that could catch fire.
ALWAYS turn utensil handles inward and
away from other surface units to reduce the
risk of burns, ignition, unintended contact or
spillage.
NEVER cook on a broken cooktop; cleaning
solutions or spillage could penetrate it and
create the risk of electrical shock or fire.
PLACE OVEN RACKS in the desired
position while the oven is cool. Ifracks must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let the potholder
contact the hot oven elemenL
AFTER BROILING, always take the broiler

•Donotslidecookwareacrossyourcooktop.
•Do not use a dish towel orsponge to clean
or wipe down your cooktop.
•Do not use scouring powders or plastic,
nylon or metal cleaning pads on your

cleaning creme bottle before attempting to
clean the surface of your cooktop.
•Aftercleaning the cooktop surface, be sure
to wipe off any residue that may be left from
the creme with a dry paper towel.
•For major spills, turn the surface control
knob to OFF; use a dry paper towel to wipe
up spill, then use a razor scraper (held with
a potholder) at a 30" angle against the
surface of the cooktop to scrape remaining
spill from the hot cooking zone.
,, Do not cook directly on the surface of the
glass.
,Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
To remove the adhesive left from packaging
tape, use household dishwashing liquid,
mineral oil or cooking oil. With a soft cloth rub
into the area and allow to soak. Rinse and dry
well. Repeat procedure using an appliance
polish to insure no damage is done to the
oven. This should be done before the
range is turned on for the first time.

RADIANTCOOKTOPCOOKING
Before using your new radiant
cooktop, clean it with the Cooktop
Cleaning Creme®. This will leave
a protective coating.
The cooking zones are shown by the outline on
the glass. The sign near each control knob
shows you which radiant zone is turned on by
that knob.
If you don't know if
your cookware is flat (
on the bottom, try this . .,_J
test. Turn your pan
upside down on the
countertop, place a ruler flat against the
surface of the pan. The bottom of the pan and
the edge of the ruler should fit flush against
each other all the way across. Turn the ruler a
full 360 degrees, checking as you turn for any
space between the two surfaces.

SIZE OF
COOKING
ZONE
Stainless Steel: Highly recommended for
use with your new cooktop. Especially good
with a sandwich clad bottom.
Aluminum: Heavy weight aluminum
cookware recommended.
Cast Iron: Cast iron cookware that is
completely covered with porcelain enamel is
recommended. Cast iron that is not covered
with porcelain enamel may scratch the glass
ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Copper Bottom: Has good performance,
but it can leave a residue on the cooktop
surface.
Glass.Ceramic or Stoneware: Usable,
but not recommended. It may scratch the
surface of the cooktop.
When the knobs are turned on, coils beneath
the glass radiate heat through the glass to the
cooking utensil. It 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.

RADIANTCOOKINGcontinued
The Temperature Limiters of the cooking zones
provide a protection for your new cooktop..
The Limiters will turn the radiant coils on and
off while cooking or canning. This procedure
helps maintain an even cooking temperature
without allowing the cooking zones to
overheat.
r¸
Water-bath or pressure canners and large
diameter pots extending more than 1"beyond
the edge of the cooktop zones may be used
when canning. Thisis because the temperature
needed to boil water is not harmful to the
surfaces surrounding the cooktop zones.
However, do not use large diameter
canners, pots or pans for anything
other than boiling water.
HI
Used for quick starts, such as
bringing water to a boil. O
•,1. Be sure the canner is centered over the
zones.
MED
Used for slow boil and saut6ing. 2, Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
LO
Used for steaming foods or
keeping cooked foods at
serving temperature.
1. Push down to turn the
knob.
OFF
O3. Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball and Kerr
and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
4. Use caution while canning, toprevent bums
from steam or heat.
2. Set on or between
marks for desired
heat.
