iNSTRUCTIONS
• DO NOT touch cooktop zones,
surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces, These may be hot enough to
cause burns even though they are
dark in color_ During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or flammable
material contact the elements 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
also be hot enough to cause burns.
•ONLY SOME kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking without

The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the governor of
California to publish a list of
substances known to the state
to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm and re.
quires businesses to warn
their customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in a
self-cleaning oven will give off
a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning
cycle. Exposure can be mini-
mized by venting with an open
door or window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION NOW!
Be sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of fire.

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.
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
overheating of the glass ceramic. This
procedure helps maintain an even
cooking temperature without allowing
the cooking zones to overheat.
HI Used for quick starts, such as
bringing water to a boil.
MED Used for slow boi! and
sauteing.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
Preheating is bringing the tempera-
ture up to the temperature you will be
using during baking. Let the oven
preheat thoroughly when recipes call
for preheating.
It is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time. To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate
the room by opening a window
or using a vent hood.
IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack with aluminum
foil. improper use can cause poor
heat flow, poor baking results, and
may damage the oven finish.
tn the back of the oven you will notice
a small tube. This is a heat Sensor
that maintains the temperature of the
oven, Never move or bend this tube.
Oven
Temperature Senso
The low temperature zone of your
oven (between 170 ° and 200°F) is
available to keep hot cooked foods
warm, However, foods should not be
kept at these temperatures longer
than 2 hours.
The oven vent is located behind the
right rear zone. This area could
become hot during oven use, The
vent is important for proper air
circulation. Never block this
vent. ._,,.._L_-,,am_............_ .......I _ Oven Vent
When using your convenient Delay
Start operation, foods such as dairy
products, fish, poultry, etc. should
never sit more than 1 hour before
cooking. Room temperatures and the
heat from the oven light promote
bacterial growth_
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.

OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat
from the upper element. The oven
door should remain open to the broil
stop position during broiling.
It is not necessary to preheat the
oven when broiling. Use the broiler
pan and grid that came with your
range. Both are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids.
(_ if foil is used it must
|[ _ .} be molded tightly to
|_/) the grid and silts cut
" _ rote the foil to match
those of the grid. This
allows fats and liquids to
drain into the broiler pan,
preventing fire and
excessive smoke.
Always remove the pan and
grid from the oven. _
Storing or forgetting
a soiled broiler pan
in the even is a potential
smoke or fire hazard.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture
notes that meat cooked rare is
popular, but meat cooked to only
140°F (rare) means that some food
poisoning organisms may survive,
The closer you place foods to the
broil element, the faster foods brown
on the outside yet remain red to pink
in the center.
Moving meats away from the element
will allow the meat to cook to the
center while browning on the outside.
Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer
than side 2. If your oven is connected
to 208 volts, you may want to use a
higher rack position and!or broil
foods longer.
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of
the doneness of the meat will affect
broiling. This chart is based on meats
at refrigerator temperature,
