Range Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER,” “WARNING” or “CAUTION.” These words mean:
DANGER An imminently hazardous situation. You could be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
WARNING A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious bodily injury
CAUTION A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in moderate or minor injury.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.

Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.

See the installation instructions for details.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE  RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE COMPLETELY FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR BEHIND THE RANGE AND SLIDE RANGE COMPLETELY BACK UNTIL THE REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
• WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
• WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard of a range –children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone –Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loosefitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the range.
• User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR  UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without  breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and 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, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Use Care When Opening Door –Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
• Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.

Cooktop Use

The ceramic cooking area will glow red when a heating element is on. Some parts of the cooktop may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal. The cooking area cycles off and on, even when set to HI , to keep the cooktop glass from overheating. It is normal for the surface of ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage from pitting or scratching and to condition to the cooktop surface, clean the cooktop after each use. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for cleaning. All of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop are available at most grocery stores. See the “Range Care” section for additional information.

• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.
• Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
•  To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. Asthe cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
• For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills as soon as possible. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
  • Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly.
  • While wearing oven mitts, remove the spill using a scraper while the surface is still warm.
• To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.
• Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

BEFORE USE

1. If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.

2. Clean your glass top. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial use.

3. Place a saucepan of water on each of the front burners and turn them on HI heat for at least 30 minutes. Turn off the front burners.

4. Place a saucepan of water on each of the rear burners and turn them on HI heat for at least 30 minutes. Turn off the rear burners.
   NOTES:

   • This procedure evaporates any protective oils and humidity collected during the manufacturing process, and enables the electronic control circuits to operate properly.
   • There may be a slight odor during the first several uses: this is normal and will dissipate.
   • The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

HEATING ELEMENTS

NOTES:

• For fastest boiling with pots 10″ (25.4 cm) and larger, use the Even-Heat™ (Triple-ring) element with all elements set to “Hi.”
• For best low heat performance with pans 10″ (25.4 cm) and larger, use the Dual-Size element set to “Single Lo.”
• For best melting performance with small pans, use the Even-Heat™ element.

HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHT

On ceramic glass cooktops the Hot Surface Indicator lights are located on the glass cooktop.

The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will glow as long as any cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off.

DUAL-RING COOKING ELEMENT

The Dual-Size Cooking Element offers the flexibility to use larger cookware.

• Single-size elements can be used in the same way as a regular element.
• The dual-size combines both the single and outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

TRIPLE-RING ELEMENT

The Triple-ring Element offers flexibility because it features a wide range of settings.

• The High heat option can be used to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. To reduce the power setting, turn the knob clockwise.
• The Melt setting is designed for delicate foods that require low heat, suchas when melting chocolate or holding sauces. Use cookware appropriate in size for the triple-ring Element.

WARMING ZONE ELEMENT

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

• Use the Warming Zone element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time recommended to maintain food quality.
• Do not use the Warming Zone element to heat cold foods.
• The Warming Zone element can be used alone or when any of the other surface cooking areas are being used.
• The Warming Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, the hot surface indicator will glow while the Warming Zone element is in use.
• Use only cookware recommended for cooktop use.
• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.
• Use pot holders to remove food.

RECOMMENDED HEATING ELEMENT SETTINGS

Heating elements do not require preheating. A range of heating settings is listed in the following chart because the required temperature depends on:

• Type and quality of pan
• Type, quantity and temperature of the food
• Element used and cook’s preferences

Energy regulator
Melting butter, chocolate| LO
Delicate sauce, rice, simmering sauces with butter and egg yolk| LO to Medium
Cooking vegetables, fish broths, eggs -fried or scrambled-, finishing cereals, pasta, milk, pancakes, pudding, simmering meats, steaming vegetables, pop corn, bacon, stewing meet soup, sauteed vegetables, spaghetti sauces| Medium
Braising meet, pan frying meet, fish, eggs, stir frying, quickly brown or sear meats, hold rapid boil| Medium to HI
Boiling water for vegetables, pasta| HI

CONTROL KNOBS

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The control knobs turn in either direction and from any position to the desired temperature setting or to OFF.

NOTE: Once the element is turned Off, the Hot Surface indicator light will remain illuminated until the surface temperature of the element has cooled.

The placement of each knob corresponds to the placement of the heating element that it controls.

To Turn On Any Heating Element:

• PUSH DOWN on the knob and TURN in either direction to desired heat setting.

COOKWARE

The choice of pan directly affects the cooking performance (speed and uniformity). For best results, select pans with the following features.

Flat Base

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results

• Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
• Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.

Match Pan Diameter to Element

The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

• Aluminum: heats and cools quickly. Frying, braising, roasting. May leave metal markings on glass.
• Cast Iron: on a glass cooktop heats and cools slowly, but retains heat and cooks evenly.
• Copper: tin heats and cools quickly. Best used for gourmet cooking, wine sauces, egg dishes.
• Enamel ware: response depends on base metal. Not recommended. Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.
• Glass Ceramic: heats and cools slowly. Not recommended. Heats too slowly. Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.
• Stainless Steel: heats and cools moderately. Soups, sauces, vegetables, and general cooking.

HOME CANNING

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Safe canning requires that harmful micro organisms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed completely. When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the required time.

After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or pressure levels are maintained for the required time.

Failure to do so can result in food poisoning or sickness

Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop.

• When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½” (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
• Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.
• On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Oven Use

This multi-function oven combines the functions of traditional oven modes with the functions of modern, fan-assisted convection modes in a single oven. Use the Cooking Mode control, located on the control panel, to select the oven mode.

IMPORTANT: During any cycle, the heating elements will turn off when the oven door is opened, and stay off until the door is closed. To maintain oven temperature, limit door openings during cooking.

BEFORE USING THE OVEN

1. Close the oven door.

2. Press Bake.

3. Press 500°F (260°C) on the number keypad.

4. Press Start.
   NOTE: Allow the oven to operate for 30 minutes with the door closed and no food in the cavity.

5. Turn off the oven, and then open the oven door to allow the oven to cool. NOTE: Any odor that may be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage.

GENERAL

IMPORTANT: Do not place anything, including dishes, foil and oven trays, on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation to avoid damaging the enamel.

1. Place bakeware with food on one or both of the shelves provided with the oven.

2. Close the oven door,
   NOTE: The oven cannot be set with the door open.

3. Press the desired oven mode ie. BAKE.

4. Set the oven to the desired temperature.

5. Press START

OVEN RACKS

The oven racks can be placed in any of the six height positions within the oven. Oven racks have a stop to keep them from being unintentionally withdrawn fully

MEAT THERMOMETER

Use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness.

Insert the meat thermometer probe (provided) into the socket on the left-hand side of the oven liner.

To Use the Temperature Probe:

1. Insert the probe into the food.
   NOTE: For meats, the probe tip should be inserted into the center of the thickest part of the meat. Make sure that the probe tip is not into the fat or touching bone.

2. Place the food into the oven. Keeping the temperature probe as far away from a heat source as possible, plug the temperature probe into the oven outlet. Close the oven door.

3. Select the oven mode.

4. Enter the oven temperature by pressing the numbers on the keypad.

5. Press START. The set oven temperature will appear on the display throughout cooking.

6. Enter the desired internal food temperature by pressing the numbers on the keypad, and then press START.
   NOTES:

7. The internal food temperature can be set between 110°F and 200°F (43°C and 93°C).

8. When the set probe temperature is reached, the oven will turn off.

9. Press CANCEL when finished. Unplug the temperature probe and remove food from the oven.
   NOTE: The probe will remain lit in the display until the probe is unplugged.

PREHEATING

When beginning a Bake, Convection Bake or Convection Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when you open the oven door to place the food on the rack. This ensures that cooking will begin at the proper temperature. Do not open the door while the oven is preheating. When the oven has heated to the set temperature, a tone will sound. You can then open the door and place food in the oven.

OVEN MODES

BAKE
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air, but the fan is used only during preheating. Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.

The temperature can be set from 170°F (77°C) to 500°F (260°C).

General Guidelines

• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1″ – 1½” (2.5 – 4 cm) space between bakeware and oven walls.
• Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
• Check for doneness at the minimum time.
• Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish), heatproof glass, glass ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
• When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from recommended temperature.
• Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning. Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
• Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will alter the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven.
• Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.
• See Troubleshooting for tips to Solving Baking and Roasting Problems

BROIL

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

NOTES:

• Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
• For best results, use a two-piece broiler pan with a grid (not provided). It is designed to drain juices which helps to avoid spatter and smoke.
• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
• Select HI Broil 550°F (288°C) for most broiling. Select LO Broil 450°F (232° C) for low-temperature broiling for foods that take longer to cook, such as poultry, to avoid over browning.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
• 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 cleaning more difficult.
• Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door and set the control.

CONVECTION

During convection cooking, the fan provides hot air circulation throughout the oven. The movement of heated air around the food can help to speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food cooks more evenly, browning and crisping outer surfaces while sealing moisture inside.

When the oven is set to the Convection function, the ring element, bake and broil elements, and the fan operate to heat the oven cavity. If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or preheating, the fan turns off immediately and the element(s) will turn off. Once the door is closed, the element(s) will automatically turn on.

CONVECTION FAN

The convection fan operates during any convection mode. When the oven isoperating in convection mode, the fan will turn off automatically when the door is opened. The convection fan may run in non-convection modes during the preheat time.

CONVECTION BAKE

• Use Convection Bake for single or multiple rack baking. Reduce standard recipe baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).

• For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans to take advantage of the forced air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans for best results unless otherwise specified.

• Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature by another 25°F (15°C) when using heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50°F (30°C).

• Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster when using dark metal bake ware.

• The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be cooked.

• Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’t try to convert recipes such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes, which do not benefit from the convection-heating process. Use the regular Bake mode for these foods.

• Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is done on rack positions 1, 2, 3 , 4 and 5. All five positions can be used for cookies, biscuits and appetizers.

  • 2 Rack baking: Use positions 1 and 3.
  • 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3 and 4 or 1, 3 and 5.
    

• When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans so that one pan is not directly above another. For best results, place cakes on front of upper rack and back of lower rack. Allow 1″ – 1½” (2.5 – 4 cm) air space around pans.

OVEN RACKS

Cleaning Method:
Steel-wool pad

OVEN SELF-CLEANING

WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to do so can result in burns.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- ventilated room.

NOTES:

• Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
• Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
• Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Self- Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 170°F (77°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Self-Clean cycle will not activate until it cools down.
• The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle. On some models, the surface elements will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
• When “LOCK” shows in the display, the oven door cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when “LOCK” is displayed.

Prepare Oven:

• Remove the broiler pan, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
• Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
• Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.
• Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½” (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.
• Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT

Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure the oven and lights are cool and power to the oven has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s).
The lenses must be in place when using the oven. The lenses serve to protect the light bulb from breaking.
The lenses are made of glass. Handle carefully to avoid breakage.
Failure to do so could result in death, electric shock, cuts or burns.

The oven light is a standard 25 watt (G9) appliance bulb.
IMPORTANT: Before replacing the bulb, make sure the oven is cool and the controls are turned off.

1. Disconnect power at the main power supply (fuse or breaker box).

2. Remove the bulb cover by pulling it out of the opening.
   

3. Remove the burned out bulb from the socket.
   
   NOTE: To avoid damage or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers. Wear cotton gloves or use a tissue when replacing the light bulb.

4. Replace the bulb, and then replace the bulb cover.

5. Reconnect power at the main power supply (fuse or breaker box).
