Provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surface (1/16" to the cabinet side walls and the rear wall). b. Location--Check location where the range will be installed. Check for proper electrical supply and the stability of floor. c. Dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Contact surface must be solid and level. FRONT VmEW I"_- 13" _1 Maximum depth fol cabinets above range top. RANGE DIMENSIONS A B C 24" 24" 25" 24" f 48" Maximurr A --€_ _ 45 _ Door Open _ \ 30" Minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet; or 24" Minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not lessthan I/4" flame retardant millboard covered with not lessthan 0.015" stainless steel, 0.024" aluminum or 0.020" copper. 1/I 6" clearance is the minimum for the rear and sides of the range. Follow all dimension requirements provided above to prevent property damage, Potential fire hazard, and incorrect countertop and cabinet cuts. To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Location Set your new range I/16" away from the rear wall and line it up with the kitchen counters. Make sure there is at least 1/16" of clearance between each side of the range and the kitchen counters. Allow 3" minimum clearance between your range and the refrigerator, if they are side by side. Leveling For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are provided at each corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the leveling legs. (Refer to Storage Drawer section). 24" Models

To tevel the range:

1. Usea ! -1/4" open end key or an adjustable wrench to equally unscrew the four leveling legs two to three turns each. 2. Install an oven ra(k in the center of the oven. o 3. Move the range to its final position, then put a spirit level on the rack to check for levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in one direction, and then the other. 4. Usethe !-1/4" key or wrench to adjust tile leveling legs. Turn each one until the range stands firm without wobbling. 5. Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving. If floor is flat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers (some models) to prevent the range from moving. If floor is not flat or level or if this model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4 leveling legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving. Oven Light (somemode s) Do not turn the oven tight on during the self-deaning cyde. High temperature wilt reduce tamp tife, On some models an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened. The oven light may be turned on when tile door isclosed by using tile oven light switch located on or underneath the control panel. On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder. THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE tN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN tS tN USE. To replace the tight bulb: BE SUREOVEN IS COOL. 1. Turn tile power off at the main source. 2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass. 3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only. 4. For self-cleaning oven, presswire holder to one side to release glass shield, change bulb and be sure to replace glass shield. Surface Light (somemode s) Be sure alt surface element control knobs are turned off "@" and eJements are cool Use switch located on or underneath the control panel to turn tile surface light ON/OFF. Replace the surface light, if after repeated attempts to turn it on you are not successful. To remove and replace the fluorescent tight: 1. Lift up tile control panel cover. 2. Place your fingers on the tube at approximately 8" from each end. 3. To remove, turn the tube 90° then pull it out of its sockets. 4. To replace the tube, engage the new tube into the sockets, then rotate and snap the tube in place light to make it sure it will lit.

1. Placethe pan on the surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting. 3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn tile element off before removing the pan. The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked wilt influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Do not place plastk items such as satt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the element. Setting Type of Cooking MAX Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling. MEDIUM Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam vegetables. MEDIUM LOW Keep foods cooking, poach, stew. MIN Keep warra, melt, simmer. Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics: Pans should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface ele- ment Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom There should be no gaps between the pan and ruler, Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose, Follow manufacturer's instruc- tions Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop *GOOD J t t Flat bottom and straight sides, Tight fitting lids Weight of handle does not tilt pan, Pan iswell balanced, Pansizesmatch the amount of food to be prepared andthe sizeof the surface element.

Pans & Trivets

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores. Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the heating element) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to sup- port the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying). DO NOT use two elements to heat one large pan such as a roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of the porcelain enamel range surface, and damage to the surface elements and/or damage to the drip pans (if equipped). Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with tile surface elements. DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the surface element. Becausethis ring traps heat, the surface element and cooktop surface could be damaged. Canning Tips & Information 1. Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you. ;u .-",,C> Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glassjars for the latest canning information. 2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. 3. Center canner on the surface element. 4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain a constant boil. 5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads. Prevent damage to cooktop: 1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch Bond the edge of the surface element. 2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time. 3. Alternate surface elements between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same element all day. Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for tile required time.

Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units.

The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the individual heating unit isturned on. If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the indi(ator may glow and yet, the heating unit may not be heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on. When cooking is finished, a quick glance at the indicator lights is an easy check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned to OFF "@". Oven Baking For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc... There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles. The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance. Baking Problems and Solutions Chart Baking Causes Corrections Problems Cookies and biscuits burn on the bottom. Cakes too dark on top or bottom. Cakes not done in the center. o Cakes not level. o Foods not done when * cooking time is up. Cookies and biscuits put into the oven before the preheating time is completed, Oven rack overcrowded Dark pan absorbs heat too fast. Cakes put into the oven before preheating time is completed_ • Rack position too high or low • Oven too hot Oven too hot Incorrect pan size Pan not centered in oven_ Range not level Pan too close to oven wall or rack overcrowded Pan warped_ Oven too cool Oven overcrowded. Oven door opened too frequently • Allow oven to preheat to the selected temperature before placing food in oven, • Choose pan sizes that will permit 2" to 4" of air space on all sides when placed in the oven, Use a medium-weight aluminum baking sheet • Allow oven to preheat to the selected temperature before placing food in the oven_ Use proper rack position for baking needs_ • Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C lower than recommended, • Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C lower than recommended, Use pan size suggested in recipe_ Use proper rack position and place pan so there is 2" to 4" of space on all sides of pan, • Place a marked glass measuring cup filled with water on the center of the oven rack_ If the water level is uneven, refer to the installation instructions for leveling the range • Be sure to allow 2" to 4" of clearance on all sides of each pan in the oven Do not use pans that are dented or warped_ • Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C higher than suggested and bake for the recommended time_ Be sure to remove all pans from the oven except the ones to be used for baking • Open oven door only after shortest recommended baking time_

For good air circulation in the oven and

best baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2" to 4" around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven. BroiMing Broiling is a method of cooking Open door to the "Broil Stop" position when broiling. Always pure] oven rack out to the "stop" position be- fore turning or removing food. tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. Preheating Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove all utensils before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILas instructed in the Owner's Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessarywhen broiling meats well-done. To Broil Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food. Determining BroiJing Times Broiling times varx so watch tile food closely. Time not only depends on tile distance from the element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and aloneness preferred. Tile first side usually requires a few minutes longer than tile second. Frozen meats also require additional time. Broiling Tips (some models) Broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed grease could ignite. Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use afire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive. Grid Broiler Pan (some models) BroiJer CJean-Up Tips (some modeJs): To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil. To prevent grease from baking on, remove tile broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water. Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid. Oven Settings For oven settings, refer to the timer section or tile electronic oven control. 10

Before Cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFFand the cooktop is cool. DO NOT use commer- da[ oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame. Daiiy Cleaning For normal soil: 1. Allow cooktop surface to cool. 2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water. 3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners. 4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. For heavy, burned-on soil: 1. Allow cooktop surface to cool. 2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. 3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions. For sugary spiHovers: Sugary spills can chemically damage yourcooktop surface. Therefore you must begin cleaning tile spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following tile steps below. 1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately. 2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from tile element area with a clean damp cloth. 3. Allow tile cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self

What to Expect During

Cleaning While the oven is in operation, tile oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent, located on the top of the control panel. If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle. NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colourless vapor. Setting the Controls for a Clean Cycle For the setting of tile clean cycle, refer to tile section on the timer or Electronic oven control. To Remove and Replace the Oven Door 1. Open the door fully. 2. Pull up the lock located on both hinge supports and engage them in the hook of the hinge levers.

Baking time too long. Frequently opening the oven door to check doneness. Oven temperature drops 10°C (! 8%) or more each time door is opened. Set for shortest baking time and check baking process only at end of set time. Check baking progress through the window if available.

Allow at least 5.1 cm (2 in.) of spacefor air circulation on all sides of baking pan(s) and between pans and sides of the oven. When two racks are used, stagger pans so one is not directly above the other. It will take approximately I 0 minutes for the oven to reach the temperature setting.

Remove excessfat from tile meat. Slash remaining fat edges to prevent curling; do not cut into lean. Always place the grid on the broiler pan with the slots down to allow grease to drip into the pan. Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is mandatory when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking. 18
