IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE • The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. • The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ • Le California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act exige que le Gouverneur de Californie publie une liste de substances que l’on sait causer des anomalies congénitales ou d’autres déficiences de reproduction et exige que les entreprises mettent en garde leurs clients contre une exposition possible à ces substances.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. • Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions. • Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ • N’utilisez cet appareil qu’aux fins prévues décrites dans ce Manuel du propriétaire. • Assurez-vous que votre appareil soit bien installé et mis à la terre par un technicien qualifié conformément aux instructions d’installation fournies. • N’essayez jamais de réparer ou de remplacer une pièce de votre cuisinière, à moins que nous ne le recommandions spécifiquement dans ce manuel.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ • N’utilisez jamais d’eau sur les feux de graisse. Ne soulevez jamais une casserole en flammes. Mettez tous les boutons de réglage en position OFF (arrêt). Arrêtez les flammes d’une casserole placée sur un brûleur de surface en la recouvrant complètement d’un couvercle bien ajusté, d’une tôle à biscuits ou d’un plateau plat. Utilisez un extincteur d’incendie polyvalent à mousse ou à poudre.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SURFACE COOKING • Always turn the surface burners to OFF before removing cookware. • Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting. • Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. • Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ CUISSON DE SURFACE • Mettez toujours les boutons de contrôle des brûleurs en position OFF (arrêt) avant d’enlever les ustensiles de cuisine. • Surveillez bien les fritures d’aliments à réglage de flammes élevées. • Les aliments à frire doivent être aussi secs que possible. Le givre sur les aliments surgelés ou l’humidité sur les aliments frais peuvent occasionner un bouillonnement de matières grasses chaudes et un débordement de la casserole.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OVEN • Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes. • Never open door broil. Open door broiling is not permitted due to excessive control knob temperatures. • Children in walkers, or children crawling, can be attracted to the round oven door handle and may grab and open the oven door.
AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ FOUR • Écartez-vous de la cuisinière quand vous ouvrez la porte du four. L’air chaud ou la vapeur qui s’échappe peut vous brûler les mains, le visage et/ou les yeux. • N’ouvrez jamais la porte quand vous grillez. Vous ne pouvez pas ouvrir la porte quand vous griller à cause des températures excessives du bouton de réglage.
Features of Your Range Stainless Steel Range Design information 9 10 7 12 (Not all features are on all models. Appearance may vary.
Surface Cooking Stainless Steel Range Electronic ignition & automatic reignition Your surface burners are equipped with electronic ignition which eliminates the need for a standing pilot light. All igniters will spark and make clicking sounds when only one burner is being turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when igniters are clicking. In case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Surface Cooking Stainless Steel Range Dual-flame burners All burners on the cooktop have two separate flames: a simmer (lower) flame and a main (upper) flame. Simmering: Use simmer (SIM) to melt chocolate, hold delicate sauces or for other foods requiring low simmer heat. Primary Cooking: Settings from LO to X-HI will use both the main and simmer flames. Use LO to HI for all purpose cooking. Use HI or X-HI (highest setting) with 10″ or larger diameter cookware.
Surface Cooking Stainless Steel Range Cookware Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids for cooking with minimum amounts of water. Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results. Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Surface Cooking Stainless Steel Range Excessive grill flare-ups and flaming Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These drippings will create minor puffs of flame for a second or two. This is normal when cooking on a barbecue. You may find it handy to have a spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray the flare-up. If the flame becomes excessive, remove the food from the grill. Lower the heat setting. Replace the food when the flare-up subsides.
Surface Cooking Stainless Steel Range Using the grill Remove the cover before lighting the burner. The cover must be removed when using the grill. (on some models) Before starting to cook on the grill, be sure the drip tray and liners are in place and that you have the grill racks turned to the side you want for cooking. ER LITE Preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the control knob set on HI. NOTE: The longer you preheat the grill, the darker the grill marks will be on your food.
Surface Cooking Stainless Steel Range Grilling hints • When turning the meat over, always use a spatula as it will not puncture the meat allowing the juices to run out. This will help to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only once, as juices are lost when the meat is repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat after it has been cooked. • Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or poultry.
Surface Cooking Stainless Steel Range Seasoning the griddle Before using the griddle for the first time, it must be seasoned. If the griddle has not been used for a period of time, it should be reseasoned. To season the griddle: 1 Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any protective coating. 2 Rinse with a mixture of 1 quart water and 1 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly. 4 Turn the control knob to a medium setting (350°F.). Turn the heat off when the oil begins to smoke.
Using the Ovens Stainless Steel Range Oven racks To avoid possible burns, place the oven racks in the correct position before you turn the oven on. The rack stop-lock prevents the rack from tilting or being pulled out of the oven. The correct rack position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. The oven racks have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.
Using the Ovens Stainless Steel Range How to set companion oven controls (48 ″ ranges only) 1 Select the desired oven mode by pushing one of the Mode Selector Buttons: BAKE, BROIL or PROOF. 2 Select the desired oven temperature by turning the Oven Thermostat Knob. • The Oven light will glow and remain on until the OFF selector button has been pushed or the thermostat dial has been turned to the OFF position.
Using the Ovens Stainless Steel Range Baking pans/sheets Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur. • Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies. Pan placement For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven.
Using the Ovens Stainless Steel Range What is convection cooking? In a convection oven, a fan circulates the heated air evenly, over and around the food. During convection cooking, both the broil element and the bake element are energized along with the convection fan. As a result, foods are evenly browned at lower temperatures and in less time. • Preheating is not necessary for foods with a bake time over 15 minutes. • Food is heated faster in a convection oven.
Using the Ovens Stainless Steel Range Convection cookware Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Use the pan size recommended in the recipe. When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.
Using the Ovens Stainless Steel Range Suggested shelf positions and cooking times are intended as general guidelines only. Experiment with these settings for specific foods and your personal preference. Broiling guide The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature. † The U.S.
Self-Cleaning 27″ Oven Stainless Steel Range Before a clean cycle NOTE: When the 27″ oven is set for selfcleaning, only the surface burners may be used. The 12″ oven, the griddle and/or the grill cannot be used. For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures. Do not clean the gasket.
Self-Cleaning 27″ Oven Stainless Steel Range After a clean cycle If white spots remain, remove them with warm sudsy water and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle. If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Range Control panel and knobs Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel. The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Oven heating elements Do not clean the bake elements or the broil elements. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Range Oven light bulbs NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when the oven is completely cool. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip. Socket Receptacle CAUTION: Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely. For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb with bare hands or a damp cloth.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Range Sealed burner assemblies Turn all controls OFF before removing the burner parts. The burner grates, burner caps and burner ring sub-assemblies can be lifted off, making them easy to clean. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE. MISE EN CAUSE : N’UTILISEZ PAS DE BRÛLEUR QUI N’A PAS TOUTES SES PIÈCES EN PLACE. For proper ignition, make sure the small holes in the burner rings are kept open.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Range Burner caps Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. Burner Cap Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth— don’t reassemble them wet. Replace the burner caps. Burner grates Cast-iron burner grates should be washed regularly and especially after spillovers.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Range Drip trays, drip tray liners and drain tubes Located beneath the cooktop you will find a drip tray and liner(s). The drip trays and liners are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are on rollers so they are easy to remove and replace. (on some models) To remove the drip tray liner, pull the drip tray forward. If something has spilled into the tray, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Range Griddle (on some models) Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles, using a square-edged spatula, while it is still hot. Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth to remove any remaining residue and food particles. If desired, wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Once the griddle has cooled, rub the surface lightly with vegetable oil. Do not use corn oil or cooking sprays as they get sticky.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Range Grill (on some models) Clean the grill immediately after cooking. Turn off the burner. To protect your hand from steam and heat, wear a barbecue mitt. Scrub the grill with a brass bristle barbecue brush, frequently rinsing in a bowl of water. The steam created softens the food particles and assists the cleaning process. The food particles will drop into the liner and drip tray. Be sure to clean the drain tube, drip tray and liner after they have cooled.
