Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond
the edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death or fire.
Your range comes with electric ignition. Electric
ignitors automatically light the burners each time
you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.
• Place a filled pan on the burner grate before
turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a
burner for extended periods of time without
having cookware on the grate.
• Push in the control knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the LIGHT
position. The clicking
sound is the ignitor
sparking. Make sure the
burner has lit.
• To stop the clicking
sound after the burner
lights, turn the control
knob to the cook
setting you want. You
can set the control
knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same
time. However, the burner with the control knob
turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.
Use the following chart as a guide.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
HIGH • To start food cooking.
• To bring liquid to a boil.
Mid-;a nge....................................................................................................................................................................................................
(between HIGH • To fry chicken or pancakes.
LOW) • To cook gravy, pudding, or
icing.
• To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
LOW • To keep food warm.
• To melt chocolate or butter.
• To simmer.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The
cookware could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or cooking product.
POWER Burner is an adjustable setting for the left
front burner which provides an ultra-high heat
setting. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a
boil and to cook large quantities of food.
• To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
amount of liquid possible.
• Preheat your pots and pans only when
recommended and for the shortest time possible.
• Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during
the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area
may become hot.

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure
canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
•For best results, use a canner which can be
centered over the surface burner.
• Do not place your canner on two surface burners
at the same time.
• Start with hot water. This reduces the time
the control is set on high. Reduce the heat
setting to the lowest position needed to maintain
a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure
canner.
• Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
For up-to-date information on canning, contact your
local U.S. Government Agricultural Department
Extension Office or companies who manufacture
home canning products.
• The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
and a well-fitting lid.
• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
cookware.
• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how
quickly and evenly the pan heats.
• When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to
make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.
• To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are
centered on the grates.
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heaw thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Ceramic or • Heats slowly and unevenly.
ceramic glass • Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or • See cast iron and stainless steel.
enamel-on-cast iron
Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.

Place the oven racks where you need them before
turning on the oven.
• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
• For best performance, cook on one rack. Place
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
• For best results allow 2 inches of space around
each pan and between pans and oven walls.

rack position.
For proper roasting,
follow these guidelines:
• To avoid spillage,
remove food before
pulling out the rack.
• Tilt the rack up at the
front before pulling it
over the door.
• Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan
(meat juices or water) so your food does not get
overdone.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE PLACE
2 pans Side by side or slightly
........................................................................................................................................................................staggered:....................................................................................................................................
3 or 4 pans In opposite corners on

You do not have to
preheat the oven when •
roasting, unless your
recipe recommends it.
For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a
shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the
drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate
doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the
largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or
poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching
bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

NOTE: Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces
of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better if you
use lower broiling temperatures.

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They
are designed to drain extra juices from the
cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent
spatter and smoke.
• To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
the grid with foil.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat
on the edges to prevent curling.
• Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning
or removing food.
• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven
when removing the food. Drippings will bake on
the pan if left in the heated oven, making clean-
ing more difficult.
• For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan
with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as
soon as possible after each use.
