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:

General

• Read all instructions before using the range.
  • Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. The range must be installed by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance, the appliance must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. To check if the bracket is installed properly, see "The anti-tip bracket" on page 18.
• CAUTION: Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured.
• Do not operate the range if it is damaged or not working properly.
• Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

- Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.

- DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Surface units and heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units and 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 surface units, areas near units, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the range may become hot enough to cause burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, the oven door and window.

- Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit and you could be burned.

• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
• Keep range vents unobstructed.
• Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.
• Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes can create an explosion and/or fire hazard.

When using the cooktop

• Make sure the reflector bowls are in place during cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls may subject the wiring and components underneath them to damage.
- Do not line reflector bowls with aluminum foil or other liners. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
- Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and may result in the igniting of clothing or potholders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency.

• Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

- Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.

When using the oven

• Always position oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
- Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Grease

- Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.

- Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

• Do not soak removable heating elements in water. The element will be damaged and shock or fire could result.
• Do not clean door heat seal. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the seal. Clean only parts recommended in this Use and Care Guide.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the range.

WARNING

Burn and Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and all indicator lights are OFF when you are not cooking.

Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

SETTING	RECOMMENDED USE
HI	To start foods cooking.To bring liquids to a boil.
MED-HI	To hold a rapid boil.To fry chicken or pancakes.
MED	For gravy, pudding and icing.To cook large amounts of vegetables.
MED-LO	To keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting.
LO	To keep food warm until ready to serve.

Cookware tips

• Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit.
• NOTE: For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface units. Utensils with rounded, warped, ridged (porcelain enamel-ware) or dented bottoms could cause severe overheating, which damages the utensil and/or surface unit.

Woks, canners and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most stores that sell housewares.

• The pan should have straight sides and a tight-fitting lid.
• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly light-weight.
• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface unit through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
• Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

CAUTION

Product Damage Hazard

• If a surface unit stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils for long periods of time can result in damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage, use correct utensils, start cooking on HI and turn control down to continue cooking.
• Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The utensil can overheat and may damage the utensil or surface unit.

Home canning information

To protect your range:

• Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results.
• Use the largest surface unit for best results. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit and which does not extend more than one inch outside surface unit area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.
• Do not place canner on two surface units at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.
• Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.
• Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.
• To prolong the life of the elements:
• Prepare small batches at a time.
• Do not use elements for canning all day.

Optional canning kit

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can shorten the life of regular surface units and cause damage to the cooktop.

If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your Roper dealer or authorized Roper service company.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

Rack placement for specific foods:

FOOD	RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys	Lowest level or 2nd level from bottom
Angel and bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroles, meats	2nd level from bottom
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies	2nd or 3rd level from bottom

When baking on two racks, arrange racks on bottom and third level from bottom.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when broiling, see "Broiling rack position chart" on page 14.

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

• Always position oven rack(s) in desired location before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• If rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions may result in personal injury.

For best air circulation

The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

• Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other.
• For best results, allow 1 12 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).
• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one time.

Use the following as a guide to determine where to place the pans.

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.

Three or four pans

Place in opposite corners on each oven rack.

Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

Using aluminum foil for baking

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles.

• Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn up foil edges and make sure foil is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger all around than the dish holding the food.
• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cooking results.
• Do not line oven bottom with foil or other liners. Poor baking will result.

WARNING

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard

Do not allow foil to touch the heating elements because it will damage them and could result in shock or fire hazard.

Adjusting the oven temperature control

Oven temperature controls will gradually shift after years of use. So, even though your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, you can change them by following these steps:

1. Turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob to the off position. Pull knob straight off and flip it over.

Hand holding a circular mechanical component with a knob, showing a left-hand rule (no text or symbols present)

1. Loosen the locking screws inside the control knob. Note the position of the notches.
2. To lower the temperature, hold knob handle firmly and move the tooth a notch counterclockwise. Each notch equals about 10°F (5°C).
3. To raise the temperature, hold knob handle firmly and move the tooth a notch clockwise. Each notch equals about 10^ F ( 5^ C).

Tighten the locking screws and replace the control knob.

Notches To raise To lower To lower Locking screws

Broiling

1. Position the rack properly before turning on the oven. Position rack so that the surface of the food is at least 3 inches (7.4 cm) away from the broil element. See "Broiling rack position chart" on page 14.
2. Put the broiler pan and food on the rack.
3. Close the door to the Broil Stop position (open about 4 inches [10.2 cm]). The door will stay open by itself.
4. Set the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control Knob to BROIL. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light will come on.

NOTE: Do not preheat oven when broiling.

1. When broiling is done, turn both the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control Knob to OFF. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light will go off.

Custom broil

• If food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob counterclockwise until the OVEN HEATING Indicator Light goes off.
• If you want the food to broil slower from the start, set the Oven Temperature Control Knob between 170°F and 325°F (77°C and 163°C). These temperature settings allow the broil heating element to cycle and to slow cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.
• Fish and chicken are some foods that may cook better if you use lower broiling temperatures.

The Oven Selector must be on BROIL for all broiling temperatures.

NOTE: Leave the oven door partly open whenever using the oven to broil. This allows the oven to maintain proper temperatures.

Broiling tips

• Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to drain excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smoke or fire.
  • Refer to a broiling chart in a reliable cookbook for correct broiling times.
  • After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if you leave it in the heated oven.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

• Place meat the correct distance from the element. Meat placed too close to the element may spatter, smoke, burn or catch fire during broiling.
• To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling. Also, covering the broiler grid with foil is not recommended. Poor drainage of grease may result in fire. If foil is used, cut slits in foil to line up with all openings in broiler grid. Grease can then drain away and cool in pan.

Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product.

• Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting lids.
• Match the pan to the surface unit size.
  • Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help shorten cooking time.
• Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.
• Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface unit control on low or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possible.

• Use the more efficient surface units instead of the oven when possible.

• Turn on the surface unit only after placing filled pan on the unit.

• "Oven peeking" may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking results. Rely on your timer to keep track of the cooking time.
• Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is warm. Best time is after a meal has been cooked in it.
• Preheat the oven no longer than necessary.
• Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in it also.
• Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or cooking items such as casseroles.
• Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.

Using the automatic MEALTIMER™ clock

The automatic MEALTIMER clock is designed to turn the oven on and off at times you set ... even when you are not around.

CARING FOR YOUR RANGE

1. Hold the surface unit as level as possible with the terminal just started into the receptacle. Push the surface unit terminal into the receptacle.
2. When terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the surface unit opposite the receptacle. The element hold-down clip will keep the surface unit from moving around.

NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the utensils on the surface units. They also help catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.

If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of your utensils may not be flat enough, or some may be too large for the surface unit. In either case, some of the heat that's meant to go into or around a utensil goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This extra heat can discolor it.

Electrical Shock and Personal Injury Hazard

- Make sure oven and light bulb are cool and power to the range has been turned OFF before replacing the light bulb. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.

- The bulb cover must be in place when using the oven. The cover protects the bulb from breaking, and from high oven temperatures. Because bulb cover is made of glass, be careful not to drop it. Broken glass could cause injury.

To replace the oven light:

1. Unplug appliance or disconnect at main power supply.
2. Remove the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven by screwing it out counterclockwise.

3. Remove the light bulb from its socket. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace the bulb cover by screwing it in clockwise. Plug in appliance or reconnect at the main power supply.
