,ever leave the modules unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

●Be sure drip pans and the vent grills are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

●Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this book. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

●Only certain types of glass, glasskeramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature. See section on Surface Cooking for suggestions.

●To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby elements.

●Always turn module control to OFF before

removing cookware.

.nock, always be certain that the controls for all elements are at OFF position and all elements are cool before attempting to remove the unit.

●Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet cloths could cause steam burns if used on a hot surface.

●Keep an eye on foods being fried at HI or MEDIUM HIGH heat settings.

●Do not immerse or soak removable modules. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self- clean the modules in the oven.

●When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

●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 sides of pan.

c Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

●If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

●Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

c Use deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

●Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Installing the Range

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range on this type of flooring, use care, and it is recommended that these simple and inexpensive instructions be followed.

The range should be installed on a l/4-inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows: When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor

–vering. This will allow the range to be moved for aning or servicing.

Leveling the Range

Use a 1%” open end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the four legs. The flanges (rims) below the sides of the maintop must be raised above the top of the counter. Carefully slide the range into its installation space. Observe that it is clearing the countertop. Then place a spirit level or a glass measuring cup partially filled with water on one of the oven shelves to check for levelness. If using a spirit level, take two readings, with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.

Adjust the four legs carefully. You will need to remove the grease jars to adjust the rear legs. The range legs should rest on the floor. The range must not hang from the counter.
