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” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

• You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
• You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

The Anti-Tip Bracket

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

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 THE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR AN ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR OR WALL, AND SLIDE THE RANGE BACK SO THE REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backyard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
• Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in areas where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting 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 the potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• 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.
• Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensils to burner will also improve efficiency.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place – The absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
• 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 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.
• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• 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 the container to burst and result in injury.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
• Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in the desired location while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the potholder contact the hot heating element in the oven.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. The interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.

For self-cleaning ranges –

• Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove the broiler pan and other utensils.

For units with ventilating hoods –

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
• When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE

IMPORTANT: When the cooktop is in use, the Self-Cleaning cycle will be disabled. When the Self-Cleaning cycle is in use, the cooktop will be locked.

Ceramic Glass (on some models):

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is ON. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is ON. This is a normal operation. It will also randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on High, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures. It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color. Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, and abrasions and to condition the glass surface. 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. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information. IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

• 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. As the 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 and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
• 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.
• Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2″ (1.3 cm) outside the area.
• 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.
• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning (on some models)

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, and abrasions and to condition the glass surface. 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. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

Cooktop On Indicator Light

The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the display panel. When any cooktop element on the console panel is turned on, the Cooktop On indicator light will glow.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

On ceramic glass models, the Hot Surface indicator light is located on the display panel.
The Hot Surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off. The control lock cannot be turned on or off while the Hot Surface indicator light is on. Wait for the Hot Surface indicator light to turn off before turning the control lock on or off.

Coil Elements and Burner Bowls (on some models)

Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2″ (1.3 cm) over the coil element. If the cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color

Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)

The Dual Zone Cooking Element offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer elements and is recommended for larger-size cookware.

1. Press ON/OFF for the desired Dual Zone element.
2. Press SIZE to select the dual element and a picture of the dual element will appear.
3. Press the “up” and “down” element arrow keypads to adjust the heating element to the desired level.
4. To switch back to the single element, press SIZE.
5. Press ON/OFF for the selected element to turn the element off.

Melt Cooking Element

The Melt cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide range of settings between High and Melt. The High heat option can be used to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. The lowest setting can be used to prepare sauces and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt element.

To reduce the power setting to Melt, press the “down” arrow for the Melt element until “Melt” appears in the display.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element, or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.
Check for 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.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

COOKWARE  CHARACTERISTICS

Aluminum

• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
• May leave aluminum residues which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

Cast iron

• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Rough edges or burrs may scratch the cooktop.

Ceramic orCeramic glass

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Heats slowly, but unevenly.
• Ideal results on low-to-medium heat settings.
• May scratch the cooktop.

Copper

• Heats very quickly and evenly.
• May leave copper residues which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.
• Can leave a permanent stain or bond to the cooktop if overheated.

Earthenware

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use low heat settings.
• May scratch the cooktop.

Porcelain enamel-on steel or cast iron

• See stainless steel or cast iron.
• Porcelain enamel bakeware without the metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated.

Stainless steel

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2″ (13 mm) outside the area.

Home Canning

Canning can be performed on a glass smooth-top cooking surface or a 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 1 /2″ (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
• Do not place the canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.
• On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners toavoid 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

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.

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

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.
