PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated. Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact heating element. Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed. About Your Appliance CAUTION NEVER use an appliance as a step to reach cabinets above. Misuse of appliance door, such as stepping, leaning or sitting on the door, may result in possible tipping of the appliance, breakage of door, and serious injuries. To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance, do not use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room. Also, do not use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils. Do not obstruct the flow of air by blocking the oven vent. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns ­ among these surfaces are: oven vent opening, surfaces near this opening, oven door, and window of oven door. Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock. NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide. Utensil Safety Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags. This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use stove top grills or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of this appliance. Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat. Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance. If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer's instructions when using glass. Cooking Safety Never heat an unopened food container in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance. Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should never be used as potholders because they can trail across hot elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts. 2 Important Safety Instructions Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small children. Self-Clean Oven CAUTION Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners or oven liners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven. It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided. Cooktop NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire. This appliance is equipped with different size surface elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve cooking efficiency. GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE: NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. Deep Fat Fryers Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan. Important Safety Notice and Warning The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle. IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven selfcleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful. Ventilating Hoods Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or filter and to avoid grease fires. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. Cleaning Safety Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning. Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Clean only parts listed in this guide. Save These Instructions for Future Reference 3 Surface Cooking Surface Controls Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings. Suggested Heat Settings The size, type of cookware and cooking operation will affect the heat setting. For information on cookware and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 6. Low (2): Use to keep foods warm and melt chocolate and butter. High (10): Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook. Setting the Controls 1. Place pan on surface element. 2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired heat setting. · The control panel is marked to identify which element the knob controls. For example, the graphic at right indicates left front element. 3. There is an element indicator light on the control panel. When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface elements are turned off. 4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan. Med. Low (3-4): Use to continue cooking covered foods or steam foods. Medium (5-7): Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts of liquids and for most frying operations. Med. High (8-9): Use to brown meat, heat oil for deep fat frying or sauteing. Maintain fast boil for large amounts of liquids. CAUTION BEFORE COOKING · Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a pan in place. · NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware. DURING COOKING · Be sure you know which knob controls which surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit. · Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a high heat setting for extended cooking. · NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the appliance. · NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands. AFTER COOKING · Make sure surface unit is turned off. · Clean up messy spills as soon as possible. OTHER TIPS · If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays. · NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst. · NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to contact heating elements. · NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall and damage it. 4 Surface Cooking Smoothtop Surface Smoothtop Surface Notes: · Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal. · Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements. · In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface. · Never attempt to lift the cooktop. · The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools. Tips to Protect the Smoothtop Surface Cleaning (see page 17 for more information) · Before first use, clean the cooktop. · Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage. · If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel. · Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time. · Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop. · Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic. To Prevent Marks and Scratches · Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface. · Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top. · Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See Cleaning, page 17.) · Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches. · To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using. · Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch. Cooking Areas The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. Pans should not extend more than 1-inch beyond the cooking area. When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on High. For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 6. To Prevent Stains · Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated. Hot Surface Light The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the control panel. The light will be illuminated when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on, even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled. · Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain. To Prevent Other Damage · Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning, page 17.) · Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and pan. 5 Surface Cooking · Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board. · Never cook food directly on the surface. · Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning. · Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized canners and griddles. · Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized servicer. Select Avoid Flat, smooth-bottom Pans with grooved or warped bottoms. pans. Pans with uneven bottoms do not cook efficiently and sometimes may not boil liquid. Heavy-gauge pans. Pans that are the same size as the element. Secure handles. Tight-fitting lids. Very thin-gauge metal or glass pans. Pans smaller or larger than the element by 1 inch. Cookware with loose or broken handles. Heavy handles that tilt the pan. Loose-fitting lids. Woks with a ring-stand bottom. Cookware Recommendations Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly. Flat bottom woks. Canning and Oversize Cookware All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element. When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged. Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces. When canning, use the High heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner. Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged. Flat Pan Tests See if your pans are flat. The Ruler Test: 1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan. 2. Hold it up to the light. 3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler. The Bubble Test: 1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn control to High. 2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats. Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking. 6 Oven Cooking Control Panel A B C D E F G H I J The control panel is designed for ease in programming.

ATTENTION ATTENTION - Dangers ou pratiques dangereuses qui POURRAIENT résulter en des blessures mineures. Lire toutes les instructions avant d'utiliser cet appareil; observer toutes les instructions pour éliminer les risques d'incendie, choc électrique, dommages matériels et corporels 25 Instructions de sécurité importantes En cas d'incendie Utiliser du bicarbonate de soude ou un extincteur à poudre chimique ou à mousse pour étouffer les flammes. Ne jamais utiliser d'eau pour éteindre de la graisse enflammée. 1. Interrompre l'alimentation électrique de l'appareil pour minimiser la propagation des flammes. 2. NE JAMAIS saisir ou déplacer un ustensile de cuisine enflammé. 3. Fermer la porte du four pour étouffer les flammes du four. Ne pas utiliser cet appareil pour chauffer ou pour garder chaude une pièce, sinon des dommages à l'appareil pourraient s'ensuivre et cela pourrait être dangereux pour l'utilisateur. Aussi, ne pas utiliser le four pour ranger des aliments ou des ustensiles de cuisine. Ne pas bloquer ou obstruer l'évent du four. NE JAMAIS TOUCHER LES ÉLÉMENTS CHAUFFANTS NI LES PAROIS INTÉRIEURES DU FOUR. Les éléments chauffants peuvent être brûlants même s'ils ne sont plus rouges. Les surfaces intérieures du four peuvent atteindre une température suffisamment élevée pour infliger des brûlures. Pendant et après usage, ne pas toucher les éléments chauffants ni les parois intérieures du four et éviter leur contact avec des vêtements ou autres matériaux inflammables avant qu'ils n'aient eu le temps de refroidir suffisamment. D'autres surfaces peuvent également atteindre une température suffisamment élevée pour brûler : le ouverture d'évent, le surface avoisinante, ainsi que le porte et le hublot de four. Ne pas toucher l'ampoule du four brûlante avec un chiffon humide car elle pourrait se briser. Si tel est le cas, débrancher l'appareil avant de retirer l'ampoule pour éviter une décharge électrique. NE JAMAIS garnir la sole du four ou une grille du four avec de la feuille d'aluminium. Ceci pourrait susciter un risque de décharge électrique ou d'incendie, ou une détérioration de l'appareil. Utiliser de la feuille d'aluminium uniquement selon les instructions de ce guide. Sécurité pour les enfants ATTENTION NE JAMAIS remiser sur le dosseret d'une cuisinière ou dans une armoire au-dessus, des articles auxquels les enfants peuvent s'intéresser. Un enfant tentant de grimper sur la porte de l'appareil pour atteindre un objet pourrait subir de graves blessures. NE JAMAIS laisser des enfants seuls ou sans supervision lorsque l'appareil est en service ou encore chaud. Ne jamais laisser un enfant s'asseoir ou se tenir sur une partie quelconque de l'appareil. Il pourrait se blesser ou se brûler. Il est important d'enseigner aux enfants que l'appareil et les ustensiles placés dedans peuvent être chauds. Laisser refroidir les ustensiles en un lieu sûr, hors d'atteinte des enfants. Il est important d'enseigner aux enfants qu'un appareil ménager n'est pas un jouet, et qu'ils ne doivent toucher aucune commande ou autre composant de l'appareil. Cuisson et sécurité NE JAMAIS faire chauffer un récipient non ouvert dans le four. L'accumulation de pression dans le récipient pourrait provoquer son éclatement et de graves dommages matériels ou corporels. Utiliser des maniques robustes et sèches. Des maniques humides peuvent provoquer la formation de vapeur brûlante. Ne jamais utiliser un torchon à vaisselle ou autre article textile à la place de maniques; un tel article pourrait traîner sur un élément et s'enflammer, ou accrocher un ustensile ou un composant de l'appareil. Porter un vêtement approprié. Éviter de porter des vêtements amples ou à longues manches pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil. Ils peuvent prendre feu si le vêtement entre en contact avec un élément de cuisson brûlant. Familiarisation avec l'appareil ATTENTION NE JAMAIS utiliser un appareil comme escabeau pour atteindre les armoires se trouvant au-dessus. Le mauvais emploi de porte d'appareil comme par exemple en tant qu'escabeau, le fait de s'appuyer ou de s'asseoir sur la porte, peuvent entraîner le renversement de l'appareil, casser la porte et gravement blesser. 26 Instructions de sécurité importantes Placer toujours les grilles à la position appropriée dans le four lorsque le four est froid. Faire coulisser la grille vers l'extérieur avant d'ajouter ou enlever un plat; utiliser pour cela une manique robuste et sèche. Éviter d'introduire la main dans le four pour y placer ou retirer un plat. S'il est nécessaire de déplacer une grille lorsqu'elle est chaude, utiliser une manique sèche. Ne pas toucher un élément chaud avec une manique. N'utiliser les grilles que dans le four dans lequel elles ont été achetées/expédiées. Ouvrir toujours la porte du four très prudemment. Laisser l'air chaud ou la vapeur s'échapper avant de retirer ou d'introduire un plat. AVERTISSEMENT - METS PRÉPARÉS : Respecter les instructions du fabricant. Si le contenant ou le couvercle en plastique d'un mets surgelé se déforme ou est endommagé durant la cuisson, jeter immédiatement le récipient et son contenu. Les aliments pourraient être contaminés. Ne pas permettre le contact de papier d'aluminium ou de la sonde à viande avec les éléments chauffants. Toujours éteindre toutes les commandes une fois la cuisson terminée. Si un ustensile est plus petit que l'élément utilisé, une partie de l'élément chauffant est exposée et peut provoquer l'inflammation d'un vêtement ou des maniques. Seuls certains matériaux en verre, vitrocéramique, céramique, grès, ou certains ustensiles vitrifiés/émaillés peuvent être utilisés sur la table de cuisson ou dans le four sans risque de bris sous l'effet du choc thermique. Observer les instructions du fabricant lors de l'utilisation d'un ustensile en verre. Orienter la poignée de chaque ustensile vers le centre de la table de cuisson et non vers l'extérieur ou vers un autre élément; ceci réduira le risque de brûlure, inflammation de matière inflammable ou renversement (un jeune enfant pourrait saisir et renverser un ustensile dont le manche est orienté vers l'extérieur). Table de cuisson NE JAMAIS laisser un élément de surface allumé sans surveillance, particulièrement avec chauffage élevé. Le débordement du contenu de l'ustensile pourrait provoquer la génération de fumée abondante et l'inflammation de la graisse. Cet appareil comporte des éléments chauffants de différentes tailles. Utiliser toujours un ustensile à fond plat, de taille suffisante pour qu'il puisse recouvrir complètement l'élément. Pour optimiser l'efficacité, choisir un ustensile de même taille que l'élément. SURFACE EN VITROCÉRAMIQUE : NE JAMAIS utiliser une table de cuisson cassée ou fêlée : les solutions de nettoyage et renversements pourraient pénétrer dans la table de cuisson en entraînant un risque de décharge électrique. Prendre immédiatement contact avec un technicien qualifié. Ustensiles et sécurité Appliquer les instructions du fabricant lors de l'emploi d'un sachet pour cuisson au four. La sécurité de fonctionnement de cet appareil a été testée à l'aide d'ustensiles de cuisson conventionnels. Ne pas utiliser un ustensile ou accessoire qui n'est pas spécifiquement recommandé dans ce manuel. Ne pas utiliser un gril placé sur la table de cuisson ou système de convection additionnel. L'utilisation d'un dispositif ou accessoire qui n'est pas expressément recommandé dans ce manuel peut dégrader la sécurité de l'appareil ou sa performance, ou réduire la longévité des composants. Veiller à utiliser un ustensile de taille suffisante pour que le contenu ne risque pas de déborder. Ceci est particulièrement important pour un ustensile rempli d'huile de friture. Vérifier que la taille de l'ustensile est suffisante pour qu'il puisse recevoir les produits alimentaires à cuire, et absorber l'augmentation de volume suscitée par l'ébullition de la graisse. Veiller à ne jamais laisser le contenu liquide d'un ustensile s'évaporer complètement; l'ustensile et l'appareil pourraient subir des dommages. Friteuses Exercer une prudence extrême lors du déplacement du récipient de graisse ou lors de l'élimination de graisse chaude. Laisser la graisse refroidir avant de déplacer l'ustensile. Hottes d'extraction Nettoyer fréquemment les filtres et la hotte de la cuisinière pour empêcher la graisse ou d'autres produits inflammables de s'accumuler sur les filtres ou la hotte en provoquant des feux de graisse. Pour flamber des aliments sous la hotte, mettre le ventilateur en marche. 27 Instructions de sécurité importantes Nettoyage et sécurité Nettoyer prudemment la table de cuisson. Arrêter toutes les commandes et attendre le refroidissement de tous les composants avant de les toucher ou d'entreprendre le nettoyage. Nettoyer l'appareil avec précaution. Travailler prudemment pour éviter des brûlures par la vapeur en cas d'utilisation d'un chiffon ou d'une éponge humide lors de l'élimination d'un produit renversé sur une surface chaude. Certains produits de nettoyage peuvent générer des vapeurs nocives lorsqu'on les applique sur une surface chaude. Nettoyer uniquement les pièces mentionnées dans ce guide. Il est normal que la surface de cuisson devienne chaude durant une opération d'autonettoyage; par conséquent, éviter de toucher la surface de cuisson durant l'autonettoyage. Avertissement et avis important pour la sécurité La loi californienne « Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act » de 1986 (proposition 65) stipule la publication par le gouverneur de la Californie d'une liste de substances que l'état de Californie considère comme cancérigènes ou dangereuses pour le système reproducteur, et impose aux entreprises commerciales l'obligation de signaler à leurs clients les risques d'exposition à de telles substances. Nous informons les utilisateurs de cet appareil que lors d'une opération d'autonettoyage, ils peuvent être exposés à une faible concentration de certaines substances figurant dans la liste mentionnée ci-dessus, dont le monoxyde de carbone. Pour minimiser l'exposition, veiller à ce que la pièce où se trouve le four soit convenablement aérée durant une opération d'autonettoyage par l'ouverture d'une fenêtre ou d'une porte. AVIS IMPORTANT - OISEAUX FAMILIERS : Les oiseaux ont un système respiratoire très sensible. Ne pas garder un oiseau familier dans la cuisine ou dans une pièce où il pourrait être exposé aux fumées. Les fumées émises durant une opération d'autonettoyage peuvent être dangereuses ou mortelles pour un oiseau, de même que les fumées émises lors du chauffage excessif de graisse, huile, margarine, et du chauffage excessif dans un ustensile à revêtement antiadhésif. Four autonettoyant ATTENTION Avant d'effectuer un cycle d'autonettoyage, enlevez les grilles de four, la lèchefrite, la nourriture et tout autre ustensile présent dans le four. Essuyez les renversements pour prévenir la formation de fumée et de flammes excessives. Ne pas nettoyer le joint de porte; le joint joue un rôle essentiel quant à l'étanchéité. Ne pas frotter, endommager ou déplacer le joint. Ne pas utiliser de produits de nettoyage pour four ou enduits de four, dans le four autonettoyant ou sur les zones voisines. Conserver ces instructions pour consultation ultérieure 28 Cuisson sur la surface Boutons de commande Permettent l'utilisation des éléments chauffants de surface, avec une progression continue de la puissance entre les réglages extrêmes Low (Bas) et High (Élevé). On peut régler un bouton à toute position entre ces deux extrêmes. Suggestions pour le réglage On doit choisir la puissance de chauffage en fonction de divers facteurs : taille, type de l'ustensile et opération de cuisson. Pour l'information concernant les ustensiles et autres facteurs affectant la puissance de chauffage à utiliser, se reporter au paragraphe Recommandations sur les ustensiles à la page 31. Low (Bas) (2) : Pour fusion de chocolat ou beurre, ou le maintien de la température d'un mets. Med. Low (Moyen bas) (3-4) : Pour continuer la cuisson de mets en casseroles fermées par couvercle ou pour cuire à la vapeur. High (Élevé) (10) : Pour l'ébullition d'un liquide. On doit toujours réduire la puissance de chauffage dès que la température d'ébullition est atteinte ou que l'aliment commence à cuire. Réglage des commandes 1. Placer l'ustensile sur l'élément. 2. Enfoncer et faire tourner le bouton jusqu'à la position désirée (rotation dans un sens ou dans l'autre). · Des marques sur le tableau de commande identifient l'élément commandé par chaque bouton. Par exemple, le graphique à droite indique l'élément avant/gauche. 3. Il y a un témoin lumineux pour les éléments sur le tableau de commande. Lorsque l'un des boutons de commande d'un élément de surface est alimenté, le témoin s'illumine. Le témoin s'éteint dès qu'on interrompt l'alimentation de l'élément. 4. Après une cuisson, ramener le bouton à la position OFF (Arrêt). Retirer l'ustensile. Medium (Moyen) (5-7) : Pour le maintien de l'ébullition lente d'une grande quantité de liquide ou pour la plupart des opérations de friture. Med. High (Moyen élevé) (8-9) : Pour rissoler les viandes, chauffer l'huile (grande friture ou aliments sautés) et pour le maintien de l'ébullition rapide d'une grande quantité de liquide. ATTENTION AVANT LA CUISSON · Placer toujours l'ustensile sur l'élément avant d'alimenter l'élément. Pour éviter que la cuisinière ne subisse des dommages, ne jamais faire fonctionner un élément de surface sans y placer un ustensile. · NE JAMAIS utiliser la table de cuisson comme lieu de remisage d'aliments ou d'ustensiles. DURANT LA CUISSON · Veiller à bien connaître la correspondance entre les boutons de commande et les éléments. Veiller à commander l'alimentation de l'élément voulu. · Commencer la cuisson avec une puissance de chauffage supérieure, puis réduire la puissance de chauffage pour poursuivre la cuisson. Ne jamais utiliser une puissance de chauffage élevée pour une cuisson prolongée. · NE JAMAIS laisser le contenu d'un ustensile s'évaporer complètement; ceci pourrait faire subir des dommages à l'ustensile et à l'appareil. · NE JAMAIS toucher la table de cuisson avant qu'elle se soit complètement refroidie. Certaines zones de la table de cuisson, particulièrement au voisinage des éléments de surface, peuvent devenir très chaudes durant une cuisson. Utiliser des maniques. APRÈS LA CUISSON · S'assurer que l'élément est arrêté. · Éliminer dès que possible tous les résidus de renversement et projections. AUTRES CONSEILS · S'il y a une armoire de rangement directement au-dessus de la table de cuisson, on ne doit y placer que des articles peu fréquemment utilisés et qui peuvent être exposés à la chaleur. La chaleur émise par la cuisinière pourrait susciter un problème pour des articles comme liquides volatils, produits de nettoyage et flacons d'aérosol. · NE JAMAIS laisser aucun article sur la table de cuisson, particulièrement les articles en plastique. L'air chaud qui s'échappe par l'évent du four pourrait provoquer l'inflammation d'un article inflammable, faire fondre/ amollir un article en plastique, ou provoquer une augmentation de pression provoquant l'éclatement d'un récipient fermé. · NE JAMAIS laisser de la feuille d'aluminium, une sonde thermométrique à viande ou un objet métallique autre qu'un ustensile de cuisson sur la table de cuisson, entrer en contact avec un élément chauffant. · NE JAMAIS ranger au-dessus de la table de cuisson d'articles lourds qui risqueraient de tomber et d'endommager la table de cuisson. 29 Cuisson sur la surface Surface à dessus lisse Remarques sur la surface à dessus lisse : · Lors des premières utilisations de la table de cuisson, celle-ci peut émettre un peu de fumée et des odeurs. Ceci est normal. · Les surfaces à dessus lisse conservent la chaleur pendant un certain temps après l'extinction de l'élément. Éteindre les éléments quelques minutes avant que la nourriture ne soit tout à fait cuite et utiliser la chaleur restante pour terminer la cuisson. Lorsque le voyant de surface chaude s'éteint, on peut toucher la surface de cuisson sans danger. En raison de la façon dont les éléments d'une surface à dessus lisse retiennent la chaleur, ceux-ci ne répondront pas aux changements de réglage aussi rapidement que des éléments en spirale. · Au cas où le contenu d'un ustensile risque de déborder, retirer l'ustensile de la surface de cuisson. · Ne jamais essayer de soulever la surface de cuisson. · La surface à dessus lisse peut sembler décolorée lorsqu'elle est très chaude. Ceci est normal et disparaît une fois que la surface refroidit. Conseils de protection de la surface à dessus lisse Nettoyage (plus d'informations à la page 42) · Avant de s'en servir la première fois, nettoyer la table de cuisson. · Nettoyer la table de cuisson chaque jour ou après chaque utilisation. Ces mesures préserveront l'apparence de la table de cuisson et éviteront qu'elle ne s'abîme. · En cas de renversement lors de cuisson, nettoyer immédiatement le produit renversé sur la surface de cuisson pendant qu'elle est encore chaude afin d'éviter un plus grand nettoyage par la suite. User de prudence, essuyer les renversements avec un linge propre et sec. · Ne pas laisser les produits renversés sur la surface de cuisson ou sur la garniture de la table de cuisson pendant une longue durée. · Ne jamais utiliser de poudre de nettoyage abrasive ou de tampons à récurer qui raieraient la surface. · Ne jamais utiliser de javellisant, ammoniaque ou autres produits de nettoyage non spécifiquement recommandés pour la vitrocéramique. Pour éviter les marques et les rayures Zones de cuisson Les zones de cuisson de la cuisinière sont représentées par des cercles permanents sur la surface à dessus lisse. Pour une efficacité maximum, utiliser une zone de cuisson dont le diamètre convient à l'ustensile. Le récipient ne doit pas dépasser la zone de cuisson de plus de 25 mm (1 po). Lorsqu'une commande est mise en marche, on peut voir un rougeoiement à travers la surface à dessus lisse. L'élément fonctionnera en intermittence pour maintenir le réglage préétabli de chaleur, même au niveau High (Élevé). Pour obtenir plus informations sur les ustensiles de cuisine, se reporter à la page 31 au paragraphe Recommandations sur les ustensiles de cuisine. · Ne pas utiliser de casseroles en verre. Elles pourraient rayer la surface. · Ne jamais utiliser de support métallique ou anneau de wok entre un récipient et la surface de cuisson. Ces objets peuvent marquer ou rayer la surface. · Ne pas faire glisser de récipients métalliques sur la surface de cuisson brûlante. Ils pourraient laisser des marques qui devront être nettoyées immédiatement. (Voir Nettoyage, page 42.) · Veiller à ce que le fond des récipients et la zone de cuisson soient propres avant d'allumer l'élément, afin d'éviter les rayures. · Pour empêcher que la surface de cuisson en vitrocéramique ne se trouve rayée ou abîmée, ne pas y laisser de sucre, de sel ou de graisse. Prendre l'habitude d'essuyer la surface de cuisson avec un linge propre ou un essuie-tout avant de l'utiliser. · Ne jamais faire glisser de récipients métalliques épais sur la surface au risque de la rayer. Pour éviter les taches · Ne jamais utiliser de linge ou d'éponge sale pour nettoyer la surface de cuisson. Ils laisseraient un film, ce qui pourrait décolorer la surface de cuisson lorsqu'elle est utilisée. Voyant de surface chaude Le voyant de surface chaude est situé sur le tableau de commande. Il s'allumera lorsqu'une surface de cuisson, quelle qu'elle soit, sera chaude. Il restera allumé, même après extinction de la commande, jusqu'à ce que la zone ait refroidi. · L'utilisation continue d'une surface de cuisson salie peut entraîner l'apparition de taches permanentes. 30 Cuisson sur la surface Pour éviter d'autres dommages · Ne pas laisser fondre de plastique, de sucre ni d'aliments riches en sucre sur la table de cuisson. Si cela se produisait accidentellement, nettoyer immédiatement. (Voir Nettoyage, page 42.) · Ne jamais laisser le contenu d'une casserole bouillir jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit vide car cela pourrait abîmer la surface de cuisson et la casserole. · Ne jamais utiliser la table de cuisson comme surface de travail ou comme planche à découper. · Ne jamais cuire d'aliments directement sur la table de cuisson, sans récipient. · Ne jamais utiliser un petit récipient sur un grand élément. Non seulement il y a gâchis d'énergie mais il peut en résulter des projections qui vont brûler sur la surface de cuisson et devront être nettoyées. · Ne pas utiliser des récipients spéciaux non plats qui seraient trop grands ou à fond inégal comme les woks à fond rond, les plaques chauffantes ou récipients de grande taille à fond ondulé. · Ne pas utiliser de récipients en aluminium. L'aluminium risque de fondre sur le verre. Si le métal fond sur la table de cuisson, ne pas l'utiliser. Appeler un réparateur agréé. Choisir Éviter Des ustensiles à fond Des ustensiles à fond rainuré ou gondolé. lisse, plat Des ustensiles à fond inégal ne cuisent pas efficacement et peuvent parfois ne pas faire bouillir les liquides. Des ustensiles en matériaux épais Des ustensiles de la même dimension de l'élément Des poignées qui tiennent bien Des couvercles qui ferment bien Des woks à fond plat Des ustensiles en verre ou en métal peu épais. Des ustensiles plus petits ou plus grands (de 2,5 cm [1 po]) que l'élément. Des ustensiles avec des poignées cassées ou qui ne tiennent pas. Des poignées lourdes qui font se renverser l'ustensile. Des couvercles qui ferment mal. Des woks avec un fond sur anneau. Ustensiles de grande taille et pour les conserves Toutes les marmites pour les conserves et les grandes casseroles doivent avoir un fond plat et doivent être fabriquées en matériau épais. Ceci est très important pour les surfaces à dessus lisse. La base ne doit pas dépasser de l'élément de plus de 2,5 cm (1 po). Si les marmites à conserves et les casseroles ne sont pas conformes à ces normes, les durées de cuisson seront plus longues et les surfaces de cuisson pourront être endommagées. Certaines marmites pour les conserves sont conçues avec des bases plus petites pour être utilisées sur des surfaces à dessus lisse. Pour la préparation de conserves, ne choisir que le réglage High (Élevé) jusqu'à ce que l'eau commence à bouillir ou que la pression suffisante soit atteinte dans la marmite. Réduire au réglage le plus faible, maintenant l'ébullition ou la pression. Si la chaleur n'est pas diminuée, la surface de cuisson pourrait être endommagée. Recommandations sur les ustensiles L'utilisation du bon ustensile peut empêcher de nombreux problèmes comme la nécessité de cuire plus longuement la nourriture et la difficulté à obtenir des résultats uniformes. De bons ustensiles réduisent les durées de cuisson, utilisent moins d'énergie et cuisent de façon plus uniforme. Tests pour vérifier si les ustensiles ont un fond plat Vérifier que les ustensiles sont plats. Test de la règle : 1. Placer une règle en travers du fond de l'ustensile. 2. La tenir face à la lumière. 3. Aucune lumière ou très peu ne doit être visible sous la règle. Test de la bulle : 1. Mettre 2,5 cm (1 po) d'eau dans l'ustensile. Placer l'ustensile sur la surface de cuisson et tourner la commande sur High (Élevé). 2. Observer la formation de bulles lorsque l'eau chauffe. Des bulles uniformes signifient de bonnes performances et des bulles inégales indiquent la présence de zones plus chaudes donnant une cuisson inégale. 31 Cuisson dans le four Tableau de commande A B C D E F G H I J Le tableau de commande est conçu pour faciliter la programmation.
