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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
COOKTOP CLEANING/POLISHINGCREAM can be purchased through
authorized
service centers or major department stores.

the Regular Oven (Non serf-dean
oven)
Make sure the oven is cool and that all control knobs are at OFF "@" position. Cleaning the
oven is a lot easier when the door is removed.
1. Remove the oven door; see" To Remove and Replace Oven Door" section in this manual.
2. Empty the oven including the racks.
3. You can wash your broiler pan, grid and racks in the kitchen sink.
4. Clean oven lining thoroughly with soap and a wet cloth and wipe with a dry cloth.
To remove burned-on fat on oven walls, moisten soiled parts with household ammonia, using a
wet cloth. Follow suggested manufacturer's cleaning method. (Do not remove the oven door
when using ammonia.)
Complete cleaning with a damp cloth and use a fine steel wool or scouring agent if necessary.
The lower element can be moved up for cleaning purposes.
5. Replace racks in the oven. Reinstall oven door.
Cleaning
the Self-Clean Oven (some models)
Adhere
to the following
cleaning
precautions:
•
AIIowthe
oven to cool before (:leaning.
•
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
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.

Baked foods too done or not
Actual oven temperature and cooking times may vary from recipe or box instruction. If this
done enough,

may differ from your old range. Older ovens may drift in
temperature. You may have to adjust your favorite recipe times and temperatures.
Usethe pan size recommended in tile recipe. Except when baking pies or breads, set the
oven temperature control 25% (13°C) lower when using glass pans.
Baked foods not evenly browned
A covered pan should not be used for baking, unless s}ecified in the recipe. Foods baked in
and/or raised,
covered pans do not brown well.
Useclean, shiny pans. Blackened pans may cause burning of bottora. Useflat bottom pans.
Warped pans may cause uneven baking.
If bottom of foods burns, raise the rack. If top of foods is too brown, lower the rack.
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.
Placing a very large pan or several smaller pans very close together on one rack does not
allow proper circulation of the oven air around the pans.A cookie sheet or sheet pan should
not (:overtile entire oven rack. 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. Better
results will be obtained by pre-heating tile oven before placing foods to be baked.
Oven steaming.
Moist foods may cause oven steaming. Cover the dish if appropriate for the food being
cooked.

broiling.
Add 3 to 4 cups of water in the broiler pan to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Position
food on grid and broil. The water catches the grease from the broiling food, cools the grease
and reduces smoking.
Meat too close to the element. Lower the rack.
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
