ii
materials contact hot surfaces.
= Do not use water or flour on grease fires=
smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda,
a dry chemical or foam=type extinguisher.
= When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat
or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
= Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--Sta nd to the
side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent
is located under the left rear surface element if your
model isequipped with coil elements. The oven vent is
located below the backguard for models equipped with
ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this
area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must
be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn offthe
range. If the range is not turned off and the power
resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not
cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all
controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL.The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
• Clean the range regularlyto keep allpartsfree of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention
to the area around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosoismAiways follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use,
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
= Clean ventilating hoods frequently=Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on,
and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
Use proper pan size--This appliance isequipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve
efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surfaceelements--To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts
listed in this Use &Care Manual. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or
foods from the oven.
• 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.
• 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.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given offduring the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
FOR CERAMIC=GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
• Do not cook on broken cook top--lfcooktopshould
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact aqualified technician immediately.
• Clean cook top with caution--lfa wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Never leave surface elements unattended at high
heat settings--Boilovers causesmoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
Do not immerse orsoak removable heating
elements_Heating elements should never be immersed
in water. Heating elements clean themselves during
normal operation.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
the fan on.

Always use oven mitts when using the oven, When
using the appliance, the oven interior, oven racks and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the
control panel (See Fig. 1). 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.

Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 3). For
best results when using a single oven flat rack, place
cookware on rack position 5 (See Fig. 4).

About the ceramic glass cooktop
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.

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,
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 auniform
and consistent heat during the off cycle.
Forefficient cooking, turn OFFthe element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Element On & Hot Surface indicator lights
Your appliance isequipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights located on the control
panel just above the surface control knobs on the control
panel -- the On and Hot Surface indicator lights.
The element On indicator light will glow when any surface
element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light
after cooking is an easy check to be sure the surface
controls are turned OFF (See Fig. 1).
The Hot Surface indicator light will glow when any surface
cooking area heats up and will remain on until the cooktop
has cooled to a MODERATE level (See Fig,2).
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.

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:
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 slow 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.
