iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS (continued)
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 fiat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit_ The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of c[othing_ Proper
relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve
efficiency
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units -- To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended -- BoiJovers cause
smoking and greasy spiiiovers that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt
, Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the range Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food_
Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit_
Glazed Cooking Utensils -- Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suit-
able for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature_ Check the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions for rangetop use.
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
between the cooktop and the backguard 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 placeoven racksin desired
location while oven is cook Removeaii utensilsfrom the rack

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked
wilt influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Do not place plastk items such
as satt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or
plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop
when it is in use. These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to the element.

MAX Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling.
MEDIUM Maintain a slow boil, thicken saucesand gravies,
steam vegetables.
MEDIUM LOW Keep foods cooking, poach, stew.
MIN Keep warra, melt, simmer.
Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
Pans should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface ele-
ment 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 instruc-
tions Some utensils were not made to be
used in the oven or on the cooktop

Speda[ty Pans & Trivets
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a support
ring that does not extend beyond the
heating element) may also be used.
The metal ring was designed to sup-
port the wok safely when it is filled
with large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying).
DO NOT usetwo elements to heat one large pan such asa roaster
or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in
either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of the porcelain enamel
range surface, and damage to the surface elements and/or damage to the drip pans
(if equipped).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
with tile surface elements.
DO NOT use a wok if it isequipped with
a metal ring that extends beyond the
surface element. Becausethis ring traps
heat, the surface element and cooktop
surface could be damaged.
Canning Tips & Information 1.
Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Use extreme
caution to prevent burns. Always raise
the lid to vent steam away from you.
;u .-",,C>
Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glassjars for
the latest canning information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat isspread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.
3. Center canner on the surface element.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring
the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting aslow aspossible to maintain
a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
Bond the edge of the surface element.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface elements between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same element
all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are
destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for tile required
time.

mndicator Light
Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units.
The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the
individual heating unit isturned on. If the knob isset to a very low temperature setting, the indi(ator may glow and yet, the heating
unit may not be heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.
When cooking isfinished, a quick glance at the indicator lights isan easy check to be sure allthe control knobs have been turned
to OFF "@".
Oven Baking
For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, piesor pastries,etc... There isno need to preheat the
oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.
The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.

• Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C higher than suggested and
bake for the recommended time_
Be sure to remove all pans from the oven except the ones to
be used for baking
• Open oven door only after shortest recommended baking
time_

Air CircuMation in the
Oven
For good air circulation in the oven and
best baking results, center pans asmuch
as possible. Allow 2" to 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 for even
heat to reach all parts of the oven.
If using multiple pans, stagger asshown.
If using one pan, place in center of oven.

tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.
Preheating
Preheating issuggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove all utensils before preheating. Foods
will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILasinstructed in the
Owner's Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is
not necessarywhen broiling meats well-done.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food isbrowned; turn and cook on the second side. Seasonand serve.
Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
Determining BroiJing Times
Broiling times varx so watch tile food closely. Time not only depends on tile distance from the
element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and aloneness preferred. Tile first
side usually requires a few minutes longer than tile second. Frozen meats also require additional
time.
Broiling Tips (some models)
Broiler pan and its grid allow dripping greaseto drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler.
DO NOT usethe 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 oven. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use afire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Grid
Broiler Pan
(some models)
BroiJer CJean-Up Tips (some modeJs):
Tomake cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove tile broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan isextremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT,soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary,use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.
Oven Settings
Foroven settings, refer to the timer section or tile electronic oven control.
