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

•CAUTION – Do not store items of interest to

children in cabinets above a range or on the

backguard of a range – children climbing on the

range to reach items could be seriously injured.

•Proper Installation – The range, when installed,

must be electrically grounded in accordance with

local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with

the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

sure the range is properly installed and grounded

by a qualified technician.

•This range is equipped with a three-prong

hazard and should be plugged directly into a

properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or

remove the grounding prong from this plug.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•Disconnect the electrical supply before

servicing the appliance.

•Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating

the Room.

•Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance

doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or

sitting on the doors or drawers.

•Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free

from combustible materials, gasoline, and other

flammable vapors and liquids.

•Storage in or on the Range – Flammable

materials should not be stored in an oven or

near surface units.

•Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the

cooking utensil.

For self-cleaning ranges –

•Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler

pan and other utensils. Wipe off all excessive

spillage before initiating the cleaning cycle.

USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

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.

Using POWER Burner

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.

Easy ways to save energy

•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.

wWARNING

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.

RECOMMENDED USE

•To light the burner.

•To provide highest heat

setting.

•To start food cooking.

•To bring liquid to a boil.

•To hold a boil.

•To fry chicken or pancakes.

•For gravy, pudding, and icing.

•To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

•To keep food warm.

•To melt chocolate or butter.

•To simmer.

Burner heat settings

Use the following chart as a guide.

Using the control knobs

Your range comes with electric ignitors. 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.

USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (CONT.)

In case of a prolonged power failure

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit

match near a burner and turn the control knob to

the LIGHT position. After the burner lights, turn the

control knob to the setting you want.

Home canning information

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:

•Center the canner over the surface burner. Do

not extend more than 1 inch outside the burner

area.

•Do not place your canner on two surface burners

at the same time.

•Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to

a boil; then reduce heat 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.

Using the right cookware makes a

big difference

•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 heavy 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

ceramic glass • Heats slowly and unevenly.

• 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

enamel-on-cast iron • See cast iron and stainless steel.

Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.

•

A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides

even heating.

•Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE OVEN

Positioning racks and pans

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.

•When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks

on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of

cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at

approximately three quarters of the total bake time.

Increase baking time, if necessary.

•For best results allow 2 inches of space around

each pan and between pans and oven walls.

Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)

Use this rack position when roasting food too large

to be placed on the first

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

1 pan

2 pans

3 or 4 pans

PLACE

In center of the oven rack.

Side by side or slightly

staggered.

In opposite corners on

each oven rack. Stagger

pans so no pan is directly

over another.

NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other

liners. It could affect the

oven surface as well as

the quality of your baking.

•Do not cover the entire

rack with aluminum foil. It

will reduce air circulation

and give you poor cook-

ing results.

•Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or

casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack below.

Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1

inch larger than dish.

•Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry

to slow down surface browning for long term

roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

•Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if

browning too quickly.
