Always set utensils gently onto the grates and center them so that they are wellbalanced. 22. Always keep the cooktop surface clean and dry. What Not to Do 1.

Do not let children play with the range. 3. Do not store items of interest to children above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance. 4. Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the range. 5. Do not store combustible, flammable or explosive materials in the range or in adjacent cabinets. 6. CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR COOKING UTENSILS, ETC., IN THE OVEN DURING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. 7. Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in literature accompanying this appliance. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician. 8.

During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. 13. Do not block or obstruct the holes below the control knobs. Blocking these holes may affect burner operation and may result in a hazard. 14. When using the cooktop, do not touch the grates, burner caps, burner bases, or any other parts in proximity to the flame. These components may be hot enough to cause burns. 15. If the cooktop is near a window, do not use long curtains as a window treatment. The curtains could blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard. 16. Do not cover the burners and grates with anything except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers should not be used. 17. Do not heat unopened food containers, such as baby food jars and cans. Pressure build-up may cause the container to burst and cause injury. 18. Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or detergents on this appliance. They may cause permanent damage. Do not use aerosol cleaners. They may be flammable or cause corrosion of metal parts. 19. Do not use or attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power failure. 20. Do not slide cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish of the grates. Lift utensils to reposition them. 21. Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the oven cell surfaces. The porcelain finish may stain. 22. Do not touch the range top or backguard with your bare hands during all cooking and self cleaning modes. Venting from the oven may cause the cooktop and backguard to become hot. Getting Started Before using your range, become familiar with the features and control panel layout. In the MRES ranges, the clock fuctions, the "CANCEL•SECURE", the "LIGHT", and the "COOKTIME" touch pads are located to the left of the clock display, while the cooking functions touch pads are to the right of it, but they all work just the same. IMPORTANT: After choosing a clock function or oven mode, you have six seconds to perform the next programming step. If the next step is not completed within six (6) seconds, the program selection displayed on the clock will disappear. Should this occur, just repeat the initial function selection Setting the Time of Day Follow these two steps to set the correct time of day: 1. Press the "CLOCK" touch pad. The time of day will flash, "AM" or "PM" will be displayed, and "TIME" will flash in the display. 2. Press the touch pad "+" or "-" until the correct time of day is displayed and release. RSD/RSE Control Panel MRES Oven Features In the RSD and RSE ranges, below the oven mode touch pads, there are three touch pads labeled "CANCEL•SECURE," "LIGHT" and "COOK TIME". The "CANCEL•SECURE" touch pad enables the user to cancel the selection of an oven mode or Delay Timed program, or disable the control panel by pressing and holding the pad for approximately three (3) seconds. Once the control panel is in the "SECURE" mode, "OFF" will be displayed on the clock. The "LIGHT" touch pad turns the interior oven light "on" and "off." The "LIGHT" touch pad will remain functional if the control panel has been disabled. The "COOK TIME" touch pad is used to select the length of time for a cooking process in Delay Timed cooking mode. Clock functions are selected by pressing the touch pads located below the clock display and oven mode touch pads. Oven functions are chosen by pressing the touch pad for the desired mode. Once a clock or oven function has been chosen, a description of the selection will flash in the clock display area. What is Pure Convection™? Your new oven has the best cooking system available today, "Pure Convection™". Pure Convection™ is a total system approach to cooking. The heat source is a third element outside the cooking cell behind a "baffle." Not only does the baffle separate the food from the heat source, it channels the air from the "Convection Fan" evenly into the cell improving hot or cool spots in the oven. This system is what allows multi-rack cooking while achieving even results from one rack to another. The other component in Pure Convection™ is the "Filter." The filter eliminates the transference of flavors when cooking entire meals and also keeps the oven cleaner.
