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.
Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended espe­cially when using high heat settings. An un­attended boilover could cause smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance has different size surface ele­ments. Select pans having flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Proper relationship of pan to element will improve cooking effi­ciency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed 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.
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.
Coil Elements
To prevent damage to removable heating elements, do not immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher or self-clean oven. A damaged element could short resulting in a fire or shock hazard.
Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence of these bowls during cooking could damage wiring.
Protective Liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bot­toms, except as suggested in the manual. Im­proper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop
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.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth or paper towel is used on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils to prevent excessive smoking, discoloration of the oven racks or possible damage to utensils.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy spills, before the clean cycle to prevent smok­ing, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid touch­ing the cooktop, door, window or oven vent during a clean cycle.
Heating Elements

Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or other flammable materials from accumulating to avoid fires.
Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such as Cherries Jubilee) under the hood.
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 it is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be low level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon mon­oxide. Exposure can be minimized by prop­erly venting the oven to the outdoors during the self-clean cycle by opening a window and/or door in the room where the appliance is located.
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 self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cook­ing oil, fat, margarine and overheated non­stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Surface Cooking
D
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.
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 backguard is marked to iden-
tify which element the knob con­trols. For example, indicates right front element.
3. There is an indicator light located on the control panel. When any of the surface control knobs are turned on, the light will turn on. The light will turn off when the surface elements are turned off.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Re­move pan.
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 “Cook-
ing Made Simple” booklet. High: Use to bring liquid to a boil. Al-
ways reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
Medium: Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts of liquids and for most frying opera­tions.
Low: Use to keep foods warm and melt chocolate and butter.
Coil Element Surface
Lift–up Porcelain Cooktop
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining:
Clean cooktop after each use.
Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as cooktop has cooled as these spills may discolor or etch the porcelain.
Your range features an upswept porcelain cooktop that can be lifted up for convenient access to the area under the cooktop.
To lift cooktop: When cool, grasp the front edge of the cooktop. Gently lift up until the two support rods at the front of the cooktop snap into place.
(select models)
SUPPORT RO
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
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 cooking. Never use a high 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.
3
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 that can be 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.
To lower cooktop: Hold the front edge of the cooktop and carefully push back on each support rod to release. Then gently lower the top into place. The support rods will slide into the range frame.
Coil Elements
When an element is turned on, it will
cycle on and off to maintain the heat setting.
Coil elements are self-cleaning.
Do not immerse in water.
To remove: When cool, raise element. Care­fully pull out and away from receptacle.
To replace: Insert terminals on the element into receptacle. Guide the element into place. Gently press down on the outer edge of the element until it sits level on the drip bowl.
TERMINALS
Drip Bowls
Glass-Ceramic
Hot Surface Light
The drip bowls, located under each surface element, are designed to catch boilovers and must always be used. Absence of these bowls during cooking may damage wiring or other parts underneath the cooktop.
To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire, never line drip bowls with aluminum foil.
Drip bowls will discolor (blue/gold stains) or craze over time, if overheated. This discolora­tion or crazing is permanent. However, it will not affect cooking performance.
Surface
NOTES:
To protect drip bowl finish:
To lessen discoloration or crazing, avoid using high heat settings for long periods of time.
Do not use oversized cookware. Pans should not extend more than 1-2 inches beyond the element.
When home canning or cooking with oversized pans, use the Canning Ele­ment (Model CE1). Contact your dealer for details or call 1-800-688-8408.
Clean frequently. (See cleaning sec­tion, page 15.)
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identi­fied by permanent patterns on the glass-ce­ramic surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than beyond the cooking area.
For more information on cookware, refer to “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
(select models)
Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
When a control is turned on, a red glow can be seen through the glass­ceramic surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the pre­set heat setting.
Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the unit is turned off. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off (see right), the cooking area will be cool enough to touch.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.
1
/2 to 1-inch
The Hot Surface Indicator Light is lo­cated at the front center of the cooktop or on the backguard. 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.
HOT SURFACE LIGHT:
• ON BACKGUARD
• ON COOKTOP
Cookware
To achieve optimum cooking perfor­mance, use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans that conform to the diameter of the cooking area. ( See “Cooking Made Simple” for cookware characteristics and recommendations.)
NOTES:
Glass ceramic surfaces retain heat. Turn the elements off a few min­utes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete the cooking.
Because of the heat retention char­acteristics, the 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 area.

Surface Cooking
Tips to Protect the Glass-Ceramic Surface
Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See Cleaning, page 14.)
Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
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 14.)
Never let a pan boil dry as this will dam­age the surface and pan.
Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board. Never cook food directly on 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 14.)
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.
To prevent scratching or damage, 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 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.
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.
, cont.
Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.
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.
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.
Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recom­mended for use on glass-ceramic.
To retain the appearance of the glass­ceramic cooktop, clean after each use.

Care & Cleaning
Self–Clean Oven
CAUTION:
It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a clean cycle.
Avoid touching cooktop, door, window, or oven vent area during a clean cycle.
To prevent damage to oven door, do
not attempt to open the door when the LOCK indicator word is displayed.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners
on the self-clean oven finish or around any part of the oven as they will dam­age the finish or parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the entire oven interior.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking and flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help elimi­nate normal odors associated with clean­ing.
Before Self-Cleaning
Turn off the oven light before cleaning as the light may burn out during the clean cycle.
Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the oven. The oven racks
will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle.
Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside the door gas­ket) and around the opening in the door gasket with a non­abrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle.
To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The
gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle. For ease of cleaning, the heat­ing element can be lifted slightly (1 inch).
Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.
During Clean Cycle
When the LOCK indicator lights, the door cannot be opened. To prevent damage to door, do not force door open when the LOCK indicator is displayed.
Some smoke and odor may be detected the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.
Smoke may also occur if oven is heavily soiled or if broiler pan was left in oven.
As oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage oven.
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the clean cycle, the LOCK indicator will turn off. At this point, the door can be opened.
Some soil may leave a light gray, pow­dery ash which can be removed with a damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.
If the oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement.
A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will NOT affect performance.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain resulting from the heating and cooling of the finish. This is normal and will not affect performance.
