This section gives Using the surface units Push in contro knobs before turning them to a setting. You can set them anywhere between HI and OFF. Surface unit markers The soid dot in the surface unit marker shows which surface unit is turned on by that knob. Hot surface indicator ights The Hot Surface Indicator Lights on the cooktop surface wi gow when the surface units are turned on. The Indicator Lights wi continue to gow as ong as the surface units are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off. Burn and Fire Hazard Be sure a contro knobs are turned to OFF and a indicator ights are OFF when you are not cooking. Someone coud be burned or a fire coud start if a surface unit is accidentay eft ON. NOTE: The surface eements may smoke sighty and emit a burning odor during the first few hours of use. This is norma. It is caused by the insuation materia of the new ceramic cooktop eements and wi not occur again.

Using the ceramic gass cooktop Cooking on the ceramic gass cooktop is amost the same as cooking on coi surface units. There are, however, a few differences: The surface unit wi gow red when it is turned on. You wi see the eement cycing on (gowing red) and off - even on HIGH setting - to maintain the proper temperature have seected. setting you Siding meta pans on ceramic gass cooktop surface coud eave marks. Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use wi hep keep the surface free from stains and provide the most even heating. See pages 33 and 34 for care and ceaning suggestions. I Cookware tips Seect a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit. NOTE: For best resut8 and greater energy effkency, use ony fat-bottomed utensis that make good contact with the surface units. Utensis with rounded, warped, ridged (porceain ename-ware) or dented bottoms coud cause severe overheating, which damages the utensi and/or surface unit. Woks, canners and teakettes with fat bottoms suitabe for use on your cooktop are now avaiabe in most houseware stores and departments. The pan shoud have straight sides and a tight-fitting id. Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairy ight-weight. The pan materia (meta or gass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface unit through the pan materia and how eveny heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking resuts. Handes shoud be made of sturdy, heatresistant materia and be securey attached to the pan. With your hand, fee the bottom of your pans whie they are coo for nicks and scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan bottoms wi scratch the ceramic gass cooktop. Make sure bottoms of pans are cean and dry before using on cooktop. Avoid spiovers on cooktop. Use pans with ta sides. Do not cook food directy on cooktop. Product Damage Hazard Do not eave an empty utensi, or one which has boied dry, on a hot surface unit. The utensi can overheat and may damage the utensi or surface unit.

9 Home canning information Use fat-bottomed canners/pans for best resuts. Some canners have ridged bottoms (porceain ename-ware) and are not recommended. They do not make good contact with the surface unit and cause severe overheating which damages the cooktop. Use the argest surface unit for best resuts. Start with hot water. This reduces the time the contro is set on high. Reduce heat setting to owest position needed to keep water boiing. Positioning racks and pans For baking/roasting with one rack, pace the rack so the top of the food wi be centered in the oven. Rack pacement for specific foods: FOOD Frozen pies, arge roasts, turkeys Ange and bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroes, meats Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies RACK POSITION Lowest eve or 2nd eve from bottom 2nd eve from bottom 2nd or 3rd eve from bottom When baking on two racks, arrange racks on bottom and third eve from bottom. NOTE: For recommended rack pacement when broiing, see Broiing rack position chart on page 17. Persona Injury Hazard Aways position oven rack(s) in desired ocation before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is eve. If rack(s) must be moved whie oven is hot, use pothoders or oven mitts to protect hands. Faiure to foow the above precautions may resut in persona injury.

10 For best air circuation Hot air must circuate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach a parts of the oven. This resuts in better baking. Pace the pans so that one is not directy over the other. For best resuts, aow 1% to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven was. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Use ony one cookie sheet in the oven at one time. Use the foowing as a guide to determine where to pace the pans. One pan Pace in the center of the oven rack. Two pans Pace in opposite corners of the oven rack Three or four pans Pace in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directy over another. Using auminum foi for Use auminum foi to catch spiovers from pies or casseroes. Pace the foi on the oven rack beow the rack with the food. Turn up foi edges and make sure foi is about 1 inch (3 cm) arger a around than the dish hoding the food. Do not cover the entire rack with auminum foi. It wi reduce air circuation and cause poor cooking resuts. Do not ine oven bottom or entire oven rack with foi or other iners. Poor baking wi resut. Eectrica Shock and Fire Hazard Do not aow foi to touch the heating eements because it wi damage them and coud resut in shock or fire hazard. 10

These temperature settings aow the broi heating eement to cyce and to sow cooking. The ower the temperature, the sower the cooking. BROIL and HEAT wi ight up in the dispay. Fish and chicken are some foods that may cook better if you use ower broiing temperatures. NOTE: Leave the door party open whenever using the oven to broi. This aows the oven to maintain proper temperatures. Broiing rack position chart 3 Quicky searing food, and medium steaks, medium oatties. ham sices. fish steaks, frankfurters ~ Broiing tips Use the broier pan and grid for broiing. They are designed to drain excess iquid and fat away from the cooking surface to hep prevent spatter, smoke or fire. Refer to a broiing chart in a reiabe cookbook for correct broiing times. 9 After broiing, remove the broier pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings wi bake on the pan if you eave it in the heated oven. Fire Hazard. Pace meat the correct distance from the eement. Meat paced too cose to the eement may spatter, smoke, burn or catch fire during broiing. To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or simiar pans for broiing. Aso, covering the broier grid with foi is not recommended. Poor drainage of grease may resut in fire. If foi is used, cut sits in foi to ine up with a openings in broier grid. Grease can then drain away and coo in pan. 17

18 Energy saving tips Afthough the energy used for cooking is usuay a very sma percentage of the tota energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficienty. Here are some tips to hep you save energy when using your cooking product. Use pans with fat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting ids. Match the pan to the surface unit size. Cook with a minimum of iquid or fat to hep shorten cooking time. Preheat pans ony when recommended and for the shortest time possibe. Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface unit contro on ow or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possibe. Use the more efficient surface units instead of the oven when possibe. Turn on the surface unit ony after pacing fied pan on the unit. Oven peeking may cause heat oss, onger cooking times and unsatisfactory baking resuts. Rey on your timer to keep track of the cooking time. Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is warm. Best time is after a mea has been cooked in it. Preheat the oven no onger than necessary. Pan your meas for the most efficient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the mea in it aso. Do not preheat when broiing, roasting or cooking items such as casseroes. Using the eectronic MEALTIMER contro The eectronic MEALTIMER contro wi turn the oven on and off at times you set... even when you are not around.

28 Using The Sef-Ceaning Cyce In This Section Paw How the cyce worka Bsfors you start Pa* Setting the contros Spscia tips The Sef-Ceaning cyce saves you from the toi and mess that often come with hand-ceaning the oven interior. Like with other functions of your range, you operate the Sef-Ceaning cyce with the easy-touse eectronic contro. Pease review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotess. How the cyce works The Sef-Ceaning cyce uses very high heat to burn away soi and grease. During the cyce, the oven gets much hotter than it does for norma baking or broiing. This high heat breaks up the soi or grease and burns it away. Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. However, you can adjust the cyce time to the amount of soi in your oven. You can set the cyce anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See Setting the contros on page 29.) The graph at the right is representative of a norma, 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. Note that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes onger for the oven to coo enough to unock. START S7a F OVEN DOOR LOCKS (4srC) SHUT OfF DOOR UNLOCKS 1 3 Trna 1, Hours STOP Before you start Before you start the Sef-Ceaning cyce, make surs you: Hand-cean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the ceaning cyce for soi to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy stee-woo pad for ceaning. NOTE: DO NOT cean, move or bend the sea. Poor ceaning, baking and roasting may resut. Handcean frame 28

29 Remove the broier pan grid and any pots and pans being stored in the oven. NOTE: You can cean the broier pan (without grid) in the oven if you have first removed most of the soi by hand-ceaning or a dishwasher. If most of the soi is not removed, too much smoking wi occur. The chrome broier pan grid wi discoor if ceaned in the Sef-Ceaning cyce. Wipe out any oose soi or grease. This wi hep reduce smoke during the ceaning cyce. Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can cean the oven racks in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, but they wi become harder to side. (See page 35.) f you cean racks in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, pace them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.) Heat and odors are norma during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. Keep the kitchen we ventiated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cyce. Persona Injury and Product Damage Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. It coud burn you. Do not use commercia oven ceaners in your oven. Ceaners may produce hazardous fumes or damage the porceain finish. Do not eave foi in the oven during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. Foi can burn or met and damage the oven surface. NOTE: Do not force the Lock Lever. You coud bend or break it. The ever is designed to stay ocked unti the oven is coo enough to open safey. Wait unti it moves freey. Do not bock the vent during the Sef-Ceaning cyce. Air must move freey for best ceaning resuts. Do not eave pastic utensis near the vent. They may met. Setting the contros 1.
