About Your Appliance
CAUTION
NEVER use an appliance as a step to reach cabinets above.
Misuse of appliance doors, 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 SUR-
FACES 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 openings, surfaces near these openings, oven doors and windows of oven doors.
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.
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.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-sleeved
apparel should not be worn while cooking. Clothing may ignite
and cause burns if garment comes in contact with heating
elements.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is
cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry,
sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or
remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry
potholder. Do not let potholder contact hot element in oven.
Use racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/purchased.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
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.
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 guide. Do not use
eyelid covers, stove top grills or add-on oven convection
systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly
recommended in this guide can create serious safety hazards,
result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the
components of 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Self-Clean Oven (select models)
CAUTION
Do not leave racks, broiling pan, food or cooking utensils, etc.
in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks
and other utensils, and wipe off excessive spillovers to prevent
excessive smoke or flare ups.
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.
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 self-cleaning 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.

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.
CAUTION
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.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the
factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning
differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges
get older, the oven temperature can shift.
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is
not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or
lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results
of the “test” should give you an idea of how much to adjust
the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. Press Bake.
2. Enter 550° by pressing the ▲ pad.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several
seconds or until 0° appears in the display.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the
change will be displayed. For example, if the oven temperature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.
4. Press the ▲ or ▼ pad to adjust the temperature.
Each time a pad is pressed, the temperature changes by
5°. The oven temperature can be increased or decreased
by 5° to 35°.
5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.
You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there
is a power failure or interruption. Broiling and cleaning
temperatures cannot be adjusted.
Sabbath Mode Notes:
• Sabbath Mode can be turned on at any time with or
without the oven on.
• Sabbath Mode cannot be turned on if the touchpads are
locked out or when the door is locked.

Care & Cleaning
Self-Clean Oven (select models)
Note: For manual clean oven, see page 18.
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a
self-clean cycle.
• To prevent personal injury and damage to the oven door
do not attempt to open door when “LOCK” is displayed.
• Avoid touching cooktop, door, window or oven vent area
during a clean cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish
or around any part of the oven. They will damage the
finish or parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior. Do not force the oven
door or lock lever open. This may result in exposure to high
temperatures and be a burn hazard.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or 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 buildup of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Self-Cleaning
1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn
out during the clean cycle.
2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the
oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily
after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.
3. Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and
around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive
cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The
self-cleaning process does not
clean these areas. They should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking
on during the clean cycle. (The
gasket is the seal around the oven
door and window).
4. 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.
5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom.
This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming
during the clean cycle.
6. Wipe up sugary and acidic 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 before a self-clean
cycle.
To set Self-Clean:
Note: Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program
a clean cycle.

• CLEAN flashes in the display.
If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and “DOOR” will
display. If the door is not closed within 45 seconds, the
self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display
will return to the time of day.
4. Press the ▲ or ▼ pad.
• CL-M (Medium Soil, 3 hours) is displayed.
5. Press the ▲ or ▼ pad to scroll through
the self-cleaning settings.
CL-H (Heavy Soil, 4 hours)
CL-M (Medium soil, 3 hours)
CL-L (Light Soil, 2 hours)

• All functions are canceled.
• The time of day appears in the display.
During the Self-Clean Cycle
When LOCK shows in the display, the door cannot be opened.
To prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open
when LOCK is displayed.
Smoke and Smells
You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few
times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in
time.
Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a
broiler pan was left in the oven.
Sounds
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage the oven.
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK
will turn off. The door can then be opened. Move door lock
lever to the left to unlock.
Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove
it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means
the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.
If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to
move.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not
affect performance.
A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean
cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect perfor-
mance.
Notes:
• If the oven door is left open, DOOR will flash in the
display and a signal will beep until the door is closed
and the Clean pad is pressed again.
• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is
forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.
