THE OVEN CONTROLS
The oven is controlled by two knobs: the Oven Selector and the Oven Tempera-
ture Control. Both must be on a setting for the oven to heof.
With the Oven Selector on
BROIL, only the top element
heats. (Broiling, pg. 7 ).
With the Oven Selector on
BAKE, the bottom element
does most of the work. The
top element heats, but does
not turn red. [Baking, pg. 6 1.
With the Oven Selector on
TIMED BAKE, the MEALTIMER’
Clock can be used to turn the
oven on and off automati-
cally. (MEALTIMER Clock, pg.

The top element helps heat
during baking, but does not
turn red. When baking is done, turn
both knobs to OFF.
ADJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Does your new oven seem to be hotter or colder than your old oven at the
same settings? The temperature setting in your old oven may have changed
gradually over the years. The accurate setting of your new oven can seem differ-
ent. If you think the oven temperature needs adjusting, follow these steps:

BROILING
1. Place the rack where you
want it for broiling. 2. Put the broiler pan and food on the rack.
4. Set the Oven Temperoture
Control on BROIL (or on a
lower temperature for
slower broiling).
5. During broiling, the oven
door must be partly
open. A built-in stop will
hold it there.
3. Set the Oven Selector on
BROIL.
6. When broiling is done,
turn both knobs to OFF.
For slower brolllng, set the Oven Temperature Control on a temperature
instead of BROIL. The broil element will then turn on and off instead of staying on.
The lower the temperature setting, the slower the broiling.
The Oven Selector must be on BROIL and the door partly open for all brolllng temperatures.

THE OPTIONAL SMOOTHTOP MODULE
Cooking on the optional black smoothtop is
o/most the same as cooking on surface elements.
There are three differences you should know about:
1. The cookware you use.
2. What to expect.
3. The care and cleaning.
Cookware...
For best results, proper cookware must be used.
l Bottoms must be perfectly flat, with NO
ridges, rims, patterns, dents, roughness or
scratches.
-Pans with uneven bottoms cause poor
cooking results and may damage the
smoothtop.
-Nicks and scratches on a pan can dam-
age the smoothtop.
16
l Bottoms must be clean. Heating a soiled pan
can leave a stain on the smoothtop.
l Sliding aluminum pans or foil, and copper
pans, on the smoothtop can leave a mark. The
marks made by aluminum can be removed If
they are not heated. See page 22 for clean-
ing and care suggestions.

Cooklng...
The glass will take longer to heat up than a
regular surface unit. It will also take longer
to cool down. Turn off the unit a few minutes
before you are finished cookrng.
The Care and Cleaning...
Always clean the smoothtop after cooking.
Use a special smoothtop cleaner/conditioner
available from your appliance dealer, gro-
cery, hardware or variety stores.
Avoldlng stalns
l Use a special smoothtop cleanericondi-
tioner every time you use the Smoothtop
Module. Follow the package directions
carefully.
l Wipe the smoothtop with a clean, damp
paper towel before you use the smooth-
top. (Do not use a sponge or cloth. A little
leftover soap or soil can stain the smooth-
top when heated.)
l Use only clean cookware.
l Avoid spillovers. Use pans with tall sides.
l Don’t let covers drip on the smoothtop.
l Wipe up any spill when the unit is cool
enough not to steam when a wet cloth
touches it. The longer you cook wlth a splll-
over on the unit, the harder It will be to
remove that spill.
l Clean off metal marks (from copper or
aluminum) right away. If heated, they may
never come off
Avoiding Damage
l Rough cookware, jewelry, salt, sand,
knives, etc....can scratch the surface. Use
only smooth cookware; wipe the surface
before using. DO NOT use the smoothtop as
a cutting board.
l Sugary spills can cause pitting on the sur-
face. Wipe a spill when the surface is cool.
l Pans that aren’t flat can cause hot spots
that can crack the surface.
l Spilling ice-cold water on a hot surface
may crack it.
l Dropping heavy or hard objects on the
cooktop can crack it. Be careful with heavy
skillets. Don’t store jars or cans above the
smoothtop.
See the special “Smoothtop Cleanlng Chart”
on page 22.
OPTIONAL CUTTING BOARD
Before using the Cutting Board...
1. Wipe with damp sudsy cloth to remove
dust.
2. Rinse and wipe dry.
3. Season it by coating with colorless minera
oil.
4. Let oil stand a few hours; wipe off excess.
To keep the Cutting Board looking new, sand
the surface with fine sandpaper to remove
cutting marks and stains. Clean and re-season.
To sterilize the board, use a mixture of one
teaspoon chlorine bleach to one quart water.
Wipe cutting board. Clean and re-season.

5. When the terminal is pushed into the re-

Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the
utensils on the surface units. They also help
catch spills. When they are kept clean, they
reflect heat better and look new longer
If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some
of the utensils used may not be flat enough.
Or some may be too large for the surface
unit. In either case, some of the heat that is
meant to go into or around a utensil goes
down and heats the reflector bowl. This ex-
tra heat can discolor it.
USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
The self-cleaning cycle uses very hlgh heat to burn awcy soil. Before
you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle
safely.
BEFORE YOU START
1. Clean areas that may not be cleaned
during the cycle. Use hot water and deter-
gent or a soapy steel-wool pad on...

outside the oven seal.
DO NOT try to clean the flberglass seal. DO
