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:

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

1. To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance, the appliance must be secured by properly installed anti-tip bracket. To check if the bracket is installed properly, remove the storage drawer (see page 8) and verify that the anti-tip bracket is engaged.
2. DO NOT operate the range if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged.
3. DO NOT use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
4. Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.
5. DO NOT wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a surface unit and you could be burned.
6. Make sure the reflector bowls are in place during cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls may subject the wiring and components underneath them to damage.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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. They could catch on fire.

12. Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. 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.

13. DO NOT heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

14. Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-overs immediately.

15. 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.
16. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. A boil-over could result and cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite.
17. Make sure surface units are off when you are finished, and when you are not watching.
18. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
19. Always position oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
20. DO NOT store flammable materials on or near the range. They could explode or burn.
21. DO NOT store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.
22. 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
23. Keep range vents unobstructed.
24. Clean your range regularly. See care and cleaning instructions in this manual.

25. Be sure all range parts are cool before cleaning.

26. DO NOT soak removable heating elements in water. The element will be damaged and shock or fire could result.

27. 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.

28. DO NOT use oven cleaners on continuous-cleaning ovens. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

29. 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.

30. Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the range.

Using Your Range Using the surface units

00

Hand holding a mechanical component with directional arrows indicating rotation (no text or symbols)

Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. They can be set anywhere between HI and OFF.

Surface unit markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker shows which surface unit is turned on by that knob.

Surface unit indicator lights

One of the Surface Unit Indicator Lights on the control panel will glow when a surface unit is on.

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 settings, then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

Use a high setting to start food cooking; to bring liquids to a boil.

Use a medium-high setting to hold a rapid boil: to fry chicken or pancakes.

Use a medium setting for gravy, pudding and icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables.

Use a medium-low setting to keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting.

Use a low setting to keep food warm until ready to serve. Set the heat higher or lower within the low band to keep food at the temperature you want.

Cookware

Illustration of two hands operating a kitchen pan and a lid (no text or symbols)

Pans should be the same size or larger than the surface unit to prevent boil-overs and hot handles.

Use only flat-bottomed utensils. Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between the pans and surface units for fast, even cooking. Pans with uneven bottoms or with raised patterns on the bottoms are not suitable. Do not use trivets, woks with skirts, or canners with concave or ridged bottoms.

To check your cookware for flatness, place a straight-edge across the bottom of each piece. Rotate the straight-edge across the bottom. If light shows anywhere between the pan and the straight-edge, the pan is not flat. Do not use it.

WARNING

Burn And Product Damage Hazard

- If the pan is too small for the surface unit, you could be burned by the heat from the exposed section of the surface unit. Use correctly sized cooking utensils to prevent injury.

- 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 high setting and turn control down to continue cooking.

Setting the clock

Push in and turn the Minute Timer Knob to set the Clock.

1. Push in Minute Timer Knob and turn clockwise until clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Let the Minute Timer Knob pop out. Turn clockwise until Minute Timer hand points to "12". The clock setting will change if you push in the knob when turning.

Using the Minute Timer

The Minute Timer does not start or stop the oven. It works like a kitchen timer. Set it in minutes up to an hour. You will hear a buzzer when the set time is up.

Do not push in the knob when setting the Minute Timer.

1. Without pushing it in, turn the Minute Timer Knob until the timer hand passes the setting you want.

2. When baking is done, turn the Oven Control Knob to OFF.

Adjusting the oven temperature control

Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature of your old oven may have shifted gradually without you noticing the change. Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But, when compared to your old oven, the new design may give you different results.

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

Hand holding a mechanical component with a circular housing and directional arrow (no text or symbols)

1. Pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob straight off and turn upside-down.

1. Loosen the locking screws. Note the position of the indicator.

1. To lower the temperature, hold knob handle firmly and turn knob skirt counterclockwise to move the indicator one marker line to the right. Each line equals about 10^ F ( 5^ C).
2. To raise the temperature, hold knob handle firmly and turn knob skirt clockwise to move the indicator one marker line to the left. Each line equals about 10^ F ( 5^ C).

Tighten the locking screws and replace the control knob.

Broiling

3. Set the Oven Control Knob to the baking temperature you want.

WARNING

To avoid sickness and food waste when using the MEALTIMER™ clock:

• Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start, such as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, and cooked meats or fish. Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold or frozen before it is put in the oven. MOST UNFROZEN FOODS SHOULD NEVER STAND MORE THAN TWO HOURS BEFORE COOKING STARTS.

- Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast when using delay start. They will not rise properly.

■ Do not allow food to remain in oven for more than two hours after end of cooking cycle.

The oven vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent under the right rear surface unit. You can cook on the unit, or keep food warm on it while the oven is on.

The vent is needed for air circulation. Do not block the vent. Poor baking will result.

WARNING

Burn Hazard

If you leave a utensil on the right rear surface unit, use potholders when moving it. Pan handles can become hot enough to burn. Plastic utensils left over the vent can melt.

The optional backguard accessory

An optional backguard accessory can be added to the back of the cooktop. This accessory (Part No. 4315465) is available from your Roper Appliance dealer.

The storage drawer

The storage drawer is for storing pots and pans. The drawer can be removed to make it easier to clean under the range, and to check for installation of the anti-tip bracket. Use care when handling the drawer.

Removing the storage drawer:

4. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, the surface unit will fit into the reflector bowl.

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 the 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.

WARNING

Fire And Electrical Shock Hazard Do not line the reflector bowls with foil. Fire or electrical shock could result.

The lift-up cooktop

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with four circular components and a central shaft (no text or symbols)

1. Lift front of cooktop at center.
2. Swing up the support rod.
3. Carefully lower the cooktop onto the support rod.
4. Wipe surface under cooktop with warm, soapy water. Use a soap-filled plastic scouring pad on heavily-soiled areas.

WARNING

Personal Injury And Product Damage Hazard

• Be sure the rod fits in the notch in the front right corner of the cooktop and is held securely. The cooktop could accidentally fall and injure you.
• Do not drop the cooktop. Damage can result to the finish and the cooktop frame.

The removable oven door

Removing the oven door will help make it easier to clean the oven.

WARNING

Burn And Electrical Shock Hazard Make sure all controls are OFF and the oven is cool before removing oven door. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

1. Open the door to the first stop position.
2. Hold the door at both sides and lift it at the same angle it is in.
3. To replace, fit the bottom corners of the door over the ends of the hinges.
   Push the door down evenly. The door will close only when it is on the hinges correctly.

The standard-cleaning oven (Model SEP340X)

The standard oven has to be hand cleaned. Use warm soapy water, soapy steel wool pads or a commercial oven cleaner. See "Cleaning Chart" on page 12 for further instructions.

CAUTION

Do not allow commercial oven cleaner to contact the heating elements, thermostat, heat seal or exterior surfaces of the oven. Damage will occur.

Using foil

To catch sugar or starchy spills from pies and casseroles, use a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on the lower rack, slightly larger than the cooking container.

NOTE: Do not use foil or foil liner to cover the oven floor. Poor baking results could occur.

The continuous-cleaning oven (Model SEC350X)

Standard oven walls are coated with smooth porcelain. Your continuous-cleaning oven walls are coated with a special, rougher porcelain. A fat spatter beads up on the smooth surface, but spreads out on the rougher surface. The bead of fat on the smooth surface chars and turns black. The spread-out fat on the rough surface gradually burns away at medium to high baking temperatures so the oven can return to a presentably clean condition.
