Burn Prevention

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 an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, 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 and oven doors.

Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/

or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your

cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates

at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol

vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact the heating elements.

Always use 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 other bulky cloth.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long

hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose

fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves,

jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the

appliance by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer or

storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit

may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in

use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION:

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the

backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners

produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from steam.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe

Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known

to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate some by-products which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these substances,

always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

English 3

When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door does not lock, stop self clean operation and contact service.

Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.

Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could

reach them. During self-clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.

Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety

Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.

Oven Bottom

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this

vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven vent since it is important for air circulation. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent, and condensation may

collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use.

Convection Fan (some models)

The convection fan operates during the convection mode. When the oven is operating in a convection mode, the fan

turns off automatically when the door is opened.

English 5

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a result the element is protected from damage and spills.

Note:

Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.

WARNING:

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially

the oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Accessories

CAUTION:

To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning oven on. Always use

oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heating elements.

Use caution when removing oven racks from the lowest rack position to avoid contact with

the hot oven door.

To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance, ensure racks are installed exactly per installation instructions and not backwards or upside down.

Rack

Flat Oven Rack

This rack can be used for

all cooking needs. Do not

clean in the self-clean oven. Your oven comes with two flat oven racks.

REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and parts before starting a self-clean cycle. If the

oven racks are left in the oven and remain in the oven cavity for a self-clean cycle, the

glide ability of the oven rack system will be damaged and will cause all oven racks to loose their shiny finish and or turn blue.

Remove ALl_ oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care

& Cleaning section of this manual.

Removing and Replacing Oven Racks To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front

of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

General Tips

Pan Placement

Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. See Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 racks.

Baking Pans and Dishes

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Follow manufacturers' recommendations.

• For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, shiny metal bakeware.

Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25 °F when using this type of pan. Follow

manufacturers' recommendations.

• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.

• Do not set any heavy objects on the open oven door.

• Do not keep the empty bakeware in the oven during cooking as this changes cooking performance.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

• Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.

• Preheat the oven in all cooking modes.

• Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.

• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first frew uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. Ifyou think that the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the control so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed.

To adjust oven temperature:

1. Press "BAKE".

2. Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing and holding the "+".

3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold "BAKE" until the 2 digit display appears. Release "BAKE". The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset between the original factory temperature setting and the current

temperature setting. Ifthe oven control has the original factory calibration, the display will read "0".

4. The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F (19°C), in 5°F steps by pressing and holding the "+" or "-". Adjust until the desired amount of offset appears in

the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees.

5. When you have made the desired adjustment, press "Clear/Off" to go back to the time of day display.

For Best Results

• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.

• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.

• Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.

High Altitude Baking

• When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary.

For accurate information, write the Extension Service,

Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado

80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

English 9

Condensation

It is normal for certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Operating the Oven Light

The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the oven door is opened.

Press "Oven Light" to turn the interior oven light ON and OFF whenever the oven door is closed.

The interior oven light is located at the upper left rear wall of the oven interior and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place

whenever the oven is in use.

To change the interior oven light, see Replacing an Oven

Light in the Maintenance section.

Operation

About the Appliance

Behind the classic design is modern and perfected technology that ensures a high degree of efficiency. For instance, we have further improved the distribution of heat in the oven by using newly designed elements. The advantage of this results in shorter cooking times, perfect results and lower energy costs.

This oven is very convenient and easy to operate, even with the wide variety of options. The cooking mode and temperature can be adjusted with very little effort. The

additional functions such as Cook Time can be set at the touch of a button in just a few seconds, and the display

always presents the most important information while you are cooking.

Operating the Oven

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks "

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place bakeware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 2). For best results when using a single oven flat rack, place bakeware on rack positions 3 or 4 (See Fig. 1).

Bake

BAKE

The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.

Tips

• Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.

• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings

will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cook time for most foods.

• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1-11/2'' space between pans or dishes and oven

walls. Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window

to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.

If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks.

For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5, for cookies use rack positions 1 and 4. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see graphic below). See "Pan Placement' under "General Tips" for more info. You may also consider using a convection mode.

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly

when cooking is completed.

English 12

Broil

BROIL

Broil uses intense heat radiated from

the upper element.

approximately 5 minutes before adding food.

5. Open the oven door to the broil stop position when broiling.

6. Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil

food on 2nd side.

7. When broiling is finished press "Clear/Off'.

The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door open.

The benefits of broiling include:

• Fast and efficient cooking.

• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.

Tips:

• Preheat oven for approximately 5 minutes.

• Steaks and chops should be at least 3/4"thick.

• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.

• Turn meats once during the recommended cooktime.

When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.

Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browing results. When broiling always remember to arrange the oven racks while oven is still cool. Position the rack as suggested in the broil settings table.

Broil Oven Rack Position Table

Food Rack Position

Note: Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position

before turning or removing the food.

CAUTION:

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire

continues, use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Convection (some models)

CONVECTION

Convection feature benefits

• Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.

• Multiple rack baking.

• No special pans or bakeware needed.

Convection is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the upper and lower

heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Medium or well-done 7 hamburgers

Fish, medium steaks & 6 pork chops

Well-done foods such as 5 chicken

To set Broil

1. Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool.

2. Press "BROIL". ,,m m "will appear in display.

3. Press and hold the "+" or "-" until the desired broil setting level appears in the display. Press the "+" for HI

broil or the "-" for LO broil. Most foods may be broiled at the HI broil setting. Select the LO broil setting to

avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done stage.

4. For optimum browning, preheat broil element for

How Convecton works Convection uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two

racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with convection are juicier. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender

and moist on the inside. Breads and pastries brown more

evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be

cooked faster and more evenly with Convection.

English 13

How to use Convection

When baking:

1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,

biscuits and breads.

2. Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended cooktime.

3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results.

Layer cakes will have better results using the "BAKE" pad.

1. Press"Convection"..... appearsinthedisplay.

2. Within5seconds,pressthe"+"or "-'. The display will

show "350°F (177°C). '' By pressing and holding theor, the temperature can then be adjusted in 5°F increments (1°C if the control is set to display Celsius).

3. As soon as the"+" or "-" pad is released, the oven will begin heating to the selected temperature. When the displayed temperature reaches the desired baking temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF

and the control will beep 3 times.

4. To cancel Convection, press "Clear/Off".

To change the oven temperature after Convection has started:

1. Press "Convection". Visually check the bake temperature and see if it needs to be changed.

2. Press the "+" or "-" pad to increase or decrease the set temperature to the desired new oven temperature.

Operating the Cooktop

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

When roasting

1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

Convection.

2. Since Convection cooks food faster, reduce the cooktime by 25% from the recommended cook time of

your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary, increase cooktime until the desired doneness is

obtained.

3. Do not cover foods when roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.

4. Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

Note:

When using Convection, cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

Setting Convection

The oven can be programmed to Convection at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the

glass.

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 1). For more information about the ceramic cooktop see "Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance" in the General Care & Cleaning section.

Fig. 1

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

Element ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the backguard -- the Element On indicator light and the Not Surface indicator lights.

The Element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel above each radiant element control knob and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check

to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light located on the control panel will

glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a

MODERATE level.

Note:

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps

to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if

the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the Cleaning and

Maintenance section of this Use & Care Manual.

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only

flat-bottomed cookware should be used.

Types of cooktop elements

The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element available. The single radiant element will have one round

About the radiant surface elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Suggested radiant surface element settings

The suggested settings found in the following chart are based on cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Single radiant surface elements (all

models)

To operate the single radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (See Suggested

settings for single and dual radiant elements table). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on

a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

English 16

CAUTION:

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface

elements.

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the

ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

To operate a dual radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the

dual element. If only the inner heating portion is needed like for smaller cookware, push in and turn the

knob counter-clockwise to start.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the dual radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

You may switch from either element setting at any time during cooking. See Suggested radiant surface element settings table on previous page.

Keep warm (some models)

The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.

Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the

warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality.

For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the

cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only

dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

Setting the keep warm control

1. Push in either direction and turn the knob. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by

HI and LO. However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different levels of

warming.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning

Self-Clean

WARNING:

During the elimination of soil during self- cleaning, small amounts of Carbon

Monoxide can be created and the fiberglass insulation could give off very

small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. To minimize exposure to these substances, provide good ventilation with an open window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.

Do not block the oven vents(s) during the self-cleaning cycle. Always operate the unit according to the instructions in the manual.

When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door does not lock, stop self-clean operation and

contact service.

racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the Self-Clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Hand clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the

front center of the oven bottom, these areas heat

sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap & water.

• Prior to setting the self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.

Important: To start a self-clean cycle immediately without a delay, skip steps 2 & 3 in the instructions provided below.

To set the Self-Clean mode:

1. Be sure the clock displays the correct time of day.

Preparing for a Self-Clean Cycle During Self-Clean, the oven is heated to a very high

temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings

in or around any part of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.

• Remove all utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL.

These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.

• Remove racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Accessories. If they are not removed during the Self-Clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will dull. After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven

2. Press "Start Tme". The " : " in the time of day will flash.

3. Press and hold the "+" pad to scroll to the time to start the delayed Self-Clean cycle. Release the pad when the desired time is displayed.

4. Press "Self Clean". "---" appears in the display.

5. Press the "+" or "-" pad once. "3:00" will appear in the display indicating that a 3 hour self-clean time is set. To

change to a 2 hour self-clean time press "-" once (2:00 appears in the display). To self-clean using a 4 hour clean time press "+" once (4:00 appears in display).

6. " CLn" will appear in the display during the self-clean cycle and the "LOCK" light will glow until the self- cleaning cycle is complete or cancelled and the oven

temperature has cooled.

English 21

Note: As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the "LOCK" indicator

light will flash. DO NOT open the oven door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the oven door to lock).

Avoid These Cleaners

Do not use commercial oven cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may damage the oven finish or parts.

When the self-clean cycle has completed:

1. The time of day will appear in the display window and the "Clean" and "LOCK" light will continue to glow.

2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be

opened.

3. A moist cloth is the best way to wipe out the remaining ash from the oven.

Stopping or interrupting a self-clean cycle

If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self- cleaning cycle once it has been activated:

1. Press "Clean/Off".

2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has turned off, the oven door can be

opened.

3. Restart the Self-Clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.

CAUTION:

To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the self- cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and avoid possible burns when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Note:

• Whenever the self-clean feature is active you may check the amount of time remaining in the self-clean cycle by pressing the "Self Clean" pad. Remember the range door cannot be opened until the range has cooled sufficiently. You will need to add about 1 hour to the time displayed before you can use the range for cooking.

• When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING:

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with your new appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and

abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface (see Fig. 1). These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

CAUTION:

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned OFF and the cooktop

is COOL.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop

for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning

cream and buff surface clean.

Do not:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using.

• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.

• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.

English 23

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately.

After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on

soils.

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or

discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can

burn and cause discoloration.

Maintenance

Replacing an Oven Light

CAUTION:

Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and power to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in

electrical shock or burns. Be sure the range is unplugged and all

parts are COOL before replacing light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

The light bulb is located at the rear of the oven and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the oven light bulb:

Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop

Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop

will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be

taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.

3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug in the range back in).

6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and Minute Timer in this Use and

Care Guide.
