• Read all instructions before usingthe range.

• Install or locate the range onlyin accordance with the providedInstallation Instructions. Therange must be installed by aqualified installer. The range mustbe properly connected to electri-cal supply and grounded.

• WARNING: To reduce the riskof tipping the appliance, theappliance must be secured by aproperly installed anti-tip bracket.To check if the bracket is installedproperly, see "The anti-tip bracket"on page 10.

• CAUTION: Do not siore thingschildren might want above therange. Children could be burnedor injured while climbing on it.

• Do not leave children alone orunattended in area where therange is in use. They shouldnever be allowed to sit or standon any part of the range. Theycould be burned or injured.

• Do not use the range for warmingor heating the room. Persons couldbe burned or injured, or a fire couldstart.

• Use the range only for its intendeduse as described in this manual.

• Do not touch surface units, areasnear units, heating elements, orinterior surfaces of oven. Surfaceunits and heating elements maybe hot even though they are darkin color. Areas near surface unitsand interior surfaces of an oven be-

come hot enough to cause burns.During and after use, do not touch,or let clothing or other flammablematerials contact surface units,areas near units, heating elements,or interior surfaces of oven until

they have had sufficient time tocool. Other surfaces of the range,such as the oven vent opening, thesurface near the vent opening, thecooktop, and the oven door andwindow, could also become hotenough to cause burns.

Page 5: ruse and Care Guideruse and Care Guide KitchenAid* Table of Contents (complete) 2 A Note to You 3 Range Safety 4-6 Getting to Know Your Range 7 Using and Caring for Your Cooktop 11

nge Safety

*Do not operate the range if it isdamaged or not working properly.

oDo not wear loose or hanginggarments when using the range.They could ignite if they touch ahot surface unit and you couldbe burned.

*Use only dry pot holders. Moist ordamp pot holders on hot surfacescould result in burns from steam.

Do not let pot holder touch hotheating elements. Do not use atowel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.

*Keep range vents unobstructed.

*Do not heat unopened containers.They could explode. The hotcontents could cause burns and

container particles could causeinjury.

.Use only cookware approved foroven use. Follow cookware manu-facturer's instructions, especiallywhen using glass or plasticcookware.

.Do not store flammable materialson or near the range. The fumescould create an explosion and/orfire hazard.

*Do not repair or replace any partof the range unless specificallyrecommended in this manual. All

other servicing should be referredto a qualified technician.

oDisconnect the electrical supplybefore servicing the range.

When using the cooktop

.Do not cook on a broken ceramic

glass cooktop. If cooktop shouldbreak, cleaning solutions andspillovers could penetrate thebroken cooktop and create a riskof electrical shock. Contact aqualified technician immediately.

*Select a pan with a flat bottomthat is about the same size as thesurface unit. If pan is smaller thanthe surface unit, some of theheating element will be exposedand could result in the igniting ofclothing or pot holders. Correctpan size also improves cookingefficiency.

*Check to be sure glass cookwareis safe for use on the range. Onlycertain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,or other glazed cookware aresuitable for cooktops withoutbreaking due to the suddenchange in temperature.

*Never leave surface units un-

attended at high heat settings.A boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spilloversthat could ignite.

oTurn pan handles inward, but notover other surface units. This will

help reduce the chance of burns,igniting of flammable materials,and spills due to bumping ofthe pan.

_ange Safety

*Grease is flammable. Do notallow grease to collect aroundcooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-overs immediately.

*Do not use water on grease fires.Never pick up a flaming pan.Smother flaming pan on rangeby covering with a well-fitting lid,cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaminggrease outside of pan can beextinguished with baking sodaor, if available, a multipurposedry chemical or foam-typeextinguisher.

*Clean ceramic glass cooktopwith care. Some cleaners could

produce noxious fumes if appliedto a hot surface. If a wet papertowel is used to wipe spills on ahot cooking area, be careful toavoid steam burns.

When using the oven

• Always position oven rack(s) indesired location while oven iscool. If a rack must be removed

while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating ele-ments in oven.

• Use care when opening oven door.Let hot air or steam escape beforeremoving or replacing food.

*Small amounts of formaldehydeand carbon monoxide are givenoff in the Self-Cleaning cycle fromfiberglass insulation and fooddecomposition. Significant expo-sure to these substances could

cause cancer or reproductiveharm. Exposure can be minimizedby venting with a hood or openwindow and wiping out excessfood spills prior to self-cleaning.

• Do not use oven cleaners. Nocommercial oven cleaner or oven

liner protective coating of any kindshould be used in or around anypart of the oven.

*Before self-cleaning the oven,remove broiler pan, broiler grid,oven racks, and other cookware.Do not use your oven to cleanmiscellaneous parts unless youare instructed to do so in this Useand Care Guide.

The ceramic glass cooktop

Standard Hot surface Halogenelements indicator elements

lights (somemodels)

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop isalmost the same as cooking on coil surfaceunits. There are, however, a few differences:• The cooking surface area will glow red

when the element is turned on. You willsee the element cycling on and off - evenon the HI setting - to help the area stay atthe temperature setting you choose.

• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pansare clean and dry before cooking. Foodand water particles left on the bottoms canleave deposits on the cooktop when it isheated.

• Wiping off the cooktop before and aftereach use will help keep the surface freefrom stains and give you the most evenheating. See pages 14 and 15 for careand cleaning suggestions.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

• Lift pots and pans onto and off of thecooktop. Sliding pots and pans on thecooktop could leave marks that are difficultto remove or could leave permanent marks.

• Do not cook popcorn that comes inprepackaged aluminum containers on thecooktop. The container could leave alumi-num marks on the cooktop that cannot beremoved completely.

• Do not use the cooktop as a cuttingboard.

• Do not allow anything that could melt,such as plastic or aluminum foil, to comein contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

• Dropping a heavy or hard object on thecooktop could crack it. Be careful whenusing heavy skillets and large pots. Donot store jars or cans above the cooktop.

• Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.See page 15 for more information.

Cookware tips• Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface unit.

},

• NOTE: For best results and greaterenergy efficiency, use only flat-bottomedcookware that makes good contact withthe surface units. Cookware with rounded,warped, ribbed (such as some porcelainenamelware), or dented bottoms couldcause uneven heating and poor cookingresults.

You can, however, use the newercookware available with slightly indentedbottoms or very small expansion channels.This cookware is specially designed toprovide the good contact needed for bestcooking results.

Also, woks, canners, and teakettleswith flat bottoms suitable for use on yourcooktop are now available in most stbresthat sell housewares.

• The pan should have straight sides anda tight-fitting lid.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affectshow fast heat transfers from the surfaceunit through the pan material and howevenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.Choose pans that provide the best cookingresults.

• Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-resistant material and be securely attachedto the pan.

• With your hand, feel the bottom of yourpans while they are cool for nicks andscratches. Nicks and scratches on panbottoms will scratch the ceramic glasscooktop.

• Make sure bottoms of pans are clean anddry before using on cooktop.

• Avoid spillovers on cooktop. Use panswith tall sides.

• Do not cook food directly on cooktop.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, orcookware which has boiled dry, on a hotsurface unit. The cookware could overheatand damage the cookware or surface unit.

Home canning information

unit

• Use the largest surface unit for bestresults. Also, use a canner/pan whichcan be centered over the surface unit.

• Start with hot water. This reduces thetime the control is set on high. Reduceheat setting to lowest position neededto keep water boiling.

• Refer to your canner manual for specificinstructions.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop

Caring for your cooktopThis cooktop is designed for easy care.However, ceramic glass cooktops needto be maintained differently than standardelectric coil elements. Foods spilled directlyon the cooktop will not burn off as on coilelements. Because of this, the surfaceshould be dust-free and soil-free beforeheating.

%

To avoid damaging the cooktop, followthese instructions:

• Remove sugar spills and soils from thecooktop while the surface is still warm toavoid pitting on the surface.

• Marks from sliding metal pans on thecooktop are difficult to remove completely.Use cooktop polishing creme to cleanthe area. Several applications may benecessary.

• Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaningpads, abrasive powdered cleansers,chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia,or glass cleaning products with ammonia.These products could damage the cooktopsurface.

Your cooktop has been prepolished atthe factory for improved protection andcleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme,a paper towel or a sponge, and a single-edge razor blade in a holder is all you needto clean your cooktop. For proper cleaningmethods, please review the chart on page15. Follow this chart after each use toensure top performance and to preservethat uniquely elegant look.

NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

Cooking tipsBaking/convection baking tipsThe hot air must circulate around the pansin the oven for even heat to reach all partsof the oven. This results in better baking.

For best air circulation:

* Place the pans so that one is not directlyover the other.

Mdlorl 11/,._2 _ _ _ 41/,, -_- Iwalloro_J'ler ,-_ -L J_ -L other

panl Ipen

• For best results, allow 11/2to 2 inches ofspace around each pan and between pansand oven walls.

• When baking with one pan, place pan inthe center of the oven rack.

Rack positions

®

Your oven has three straight racks and fiverack positions. Rack position 5 is the highestposition, or farthest from the bottom of theoven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position,or closest to the bottom of the oven.

• When baking with two pans, place pansin opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTES:

• "Oven peeking" may cause heat loss,longer cooking times, and unsatisfactorybaking or roasting results. Rely on yourtimer.

• Do not allow pans to touch the heatsensor on the left wall near the back.Poor baking may result.

Baking tips(Bake pad)

For proper cooking, follow theseguidelines:• When using one rack, place the rack so

the top of the food will be centered inthe oven.

• When using more than one rack, use theConvection Bake setting.

• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven ata time when using the Bake setting.

Bakeware tips• When baking with insulated cookie

sheets or baking pans, place them in thebottom third of the oven. You may need toincrease the recommended baking times,so test for doneness before removingfrom the oven.

• When using ovenproof glassware ordark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-ture by 25°F, but use the same bakingtime. Because these pans absorb heat,producing darker bottom browning andcrispier crusts, place the rack in the centerof the oven. When baking pies and bread,you can use the temperature suggested inthe recipe.

Rack placement for specific foods:(For rack positions, see "Rack positions" onpage 27.)

RACKFOOD POSITION

Frozen pies 2

Angel food and bundt cakes,most quick breads, yeast 1 or 2breads, casseroles, meats

Cookies, biscuits, muffins, 2 or 3cakes, nonfrozen pies

NOTE: For additional baking tips see"Baking or convection baking" on page 24.

Using aluminum foil in the oven[forthermal baking)

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers frompies or casseroles.

* Place the foil on the oven rack below therack with the food. Turn foil edges up andmake sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) largerall around than the dish holding the food.

,, Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-num foil. It will reduce air circulation andcause poor cooking results.

• Do not line oven bottom or entire ovenrack with foil or other liners. It could affectthe quality of your baking.

Using and Caring for Your Oven

Convection baking tips(Convection Bake pad)• Do not use aluminum foil when convection

baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.• Reduce recommended recipe oven

temperature by approximately 25°F. Seerecipe adaption chart in your convectionoven cookbook for recommendedtemperatures, or use EASY CONVECT*Conversion (see page 36).

• For most recipes, you can reduce con-vection baking time compared to standardbaking times. See recipe adaption chart orconvection baking chart in your convectionoven cookbook for recommendedbaking times, or use EASY CONVECTConversion (see page 36).NOTE: Cooking time may be longer whenyou use more than one rack.

• When baking on two or three racks, usethe Convection Bake setting for more evenresults. (You can, however, use only onerack when Convection Baking.)

• To use three racks during convectionbaking, place one rack in position 5 (thehighest position), another rack in position1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and thethird rack in position 3, This allows all threeracks to be an equal distance apart forbetter baking.

• Stagger cake pans or other cookware inopposite directions on each rack whenthree racks are used.

NOTE: For additional convection baking tipssee "Baking or convection baking" onpage 24.

Roasting tips• Spatter can be reduced by lining the

bottom of the roasting pan with lightlycrushed aluminum foil.

• Use an accurate meat thermometer ortemperature probe (see page 31) todetermine when meat has reached desireddegree of doneness. Insert the thermom-eter or probe into the center of the thickestportion of the meat or inner thigh or breastof poultry. For an accurate reading, the tipof the thermometer or probe should nottouch fat, bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once,push it further into the meat 1/2inch ormore and read again. If the temperaturedrops, return the meat to the oven formore cooking.

• Check pork and poultry with a ther-mometer in two to three places to ensureadequate aloneness.

• Poultry and roasts will be easier tocarve ff loosely covered with foil andallowed to stand 10-15 minutes afterremoval from the oven.

• You can reduce roasting times andtemperatures for most standard recipeswhen using the Convection Roast setting.See recipe adaption chart or convectionmasting chart in your convection ovencookbook for recommended roastingtimes and temperatures, or useEASY CONVECT Conversion (seepage 36).

• Use the convection roasting rack on thebroiler pan (both included with your range).(The convection roasting rack rests on thebroiler pan, not inside it.) The long side ofthe rack should be parallel with the ovendoor for best heat distribution and airflow.

Variable temperature broiling• If food is cooking too fast or you want

the food to broil slower from the start, setthe broil temperature between 170°F and325°F. These temperature settings allowthe broil heating element to cycle and toslow cooking. The lower the temperature,the slower the cooking.

• Fish and chicken are some foods thatmay cook better if you use lower broilingtemperatures.

("(.]singthe Self-Cleaning CycleThe Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come withhand-cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operatethe Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycleproperly, follow the step-by-step instructions in this section.

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners In your oven.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns,or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

DO NOThand-clean

gasket

Hand-clean door

around edge

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,make sure you:

• Hand-clean the areas shown. Theydo not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Usehot water and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bendthe gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, androasting may result.

• Remove the broiler pan and grid andanything else being stored in the oven.

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. Thiswill help reduce smoke during theSelf-Cleaning cycle.

• Wipe up food spills containing sugaras soon as possible after the oven coolsdown. When sugar is heated to a hightemperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle,the high temperature can cause the sugarto burn and react with the porcelain. Thiscan cause staining and etching or pitting.

• Remove the oven racks from the oven ifyou want them to remain shiny. You canclean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,but they will discolor and become harderto slide. If you clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the rackguides.

• Heat and odors are normal during theSelf-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchenwell ventilated by opening a window orby turning on a vent hood or otherkitchen vent during the cycle.

NOTES:

• Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely forbest cleaning results.

• Do not leave plastic utensils on thecooktop. They may melt.

• Do not leave any foil in oven during theSelf-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn ormelt and damage the oven surface.

• The oven light will not work during theSelf-Cleaning cycle.

• The cooktop will not work during theSelf-Cleaning cycle on Canadian models.

For best cleaning results• After the oven cools to room tempera-

• Clean the oven before it gets heavilysoiled. Cleaning a very soiled oventakes longer and results in more smokethan usual.

How the cycle worksThe Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heatto burn away soil and grease. During thecycle, the oven gets much hotter than it doesfor normal baking or broiling. This high heat £breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away. "_

Your oven is preset for a 31/2-hour Self- _.Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust thecycle time to the amount of soil in your oven.You can set the cycie anywhere between21/2and 41/2hours. (See "Setting the con-trols" on page 52.)

The graph at the right is representative ofa normal, 31/2-hourSelf-Cleaning cycle. Notethat the heating stops after 3 hours, but ittakes longer for the oven to cool enough tounlock.
