_ This symbol will help alert you to situations that may cause bodily injury or property damagel

• Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the
range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after

unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with
packaging material.

• Proper Installation--Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician in

accordance with CSA C22.1 PART 1-- latest edition and
local code requirements, install only per installation in-

structions provided inthe literature package for this range.

• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and
an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the

electrical power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse
box in case of an emergency.

• User Servicing -- Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in the

manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a
qualified technician to reduce the risk of personal injury

and damage to the range.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by
removing panels, wire covers or any other part of the

product.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or

drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and
may also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children

to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an
open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious

burns or other injury.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if

equipped) for storage.
= Storage in or on Appliance -- Flammable materials

should not be stored in an oven, near surface units orin
the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well
as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as

aerosol cans, on or near the range. Flammable materials
may explode and result infire or property damage.

Do not store items of interest to children

in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a

range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.

• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance

is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.

• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEARTHESE
UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR iNTERiOR SUR-

FACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if
equipped). Both surface units and oven heating elements

may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials touch these areas until they have had

sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and

surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel -- Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials
contact hot surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room.

• 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 ifallowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders-- Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result inburns from steam. Do not

let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior
oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth

instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result

in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to
be stored or discarded.

• IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven

during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Food left

unattended could catch fire or spoil.

Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your range for the
first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of

time, make sure that it has been exposed to a tempera-
ture above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connect-

ing it to the power supply.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

• Use Proper Pan Size -- This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils

having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the

surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the

surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should BeTurned inward and Should
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units -- To reduce

the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

= Never Leave Surface Units Unattended -- Boilovers

cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a
pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not immerse or Soak 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 rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.

Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven iscool. Remove all utensils from
the rack before removing rack. 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 oven element or interiorof the oven.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler
pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away

from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing
so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the range or

turn off the power to the range before removing and

replacing light bulb.

• Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil

as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the
food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may

result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

SELF=CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts of the

oven listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in

the oven.

FOR CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP MODELS

• Do Not Clean or Operate a 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 -- Ifa 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 harmful
fumes ifapplied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door-- Stand to the side of the

range when opening the door of a hot oven. Lethot air or steam

escape before you remove or replace food inthe oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented

between thecooktop and the backguard.Touching the surfaces
in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe

burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive itemson or
near the oven vent.These itemscould melt or ignite.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner
protectivecoatingofany kindshould be usedinoraroundanypart

of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks colour will change if left
inthe oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self=clean
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well venti=

lated room.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease

that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and
grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to

accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.

Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

provided above to prevent property damage, Potential fire hazard, and incorrectcountertop and cabinet cuts.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided, if cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 12.7 cm (5") beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Electrical Connection Requirements
Plug the range cable (4 conductors) intoa 4 conductor range outlet. Outlet must be
properly grounded and inaccordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA Stan-
dard (C22.1 Part 1 -- latest edition) -- and any local electrical code requirements.

Location

Set your new range 1.3 cm (1/2") away from the rear wall and lineit up with the kitchen
counters. Make sure there isat least 1.3 cm (1/2") of clearance between each side of
the range and the kitchen counters. Allow 7.6 cm (3") min. clearance between your
range and the refrigerator, if they are side by side.

Circuit Protection (Models with electric oulet(s))
As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt breaker isprovided for each of the electric outlet(s) (2 max.) located on

top or underneath of the control panel. Models with no electric outlet have no breaker.

Leveling

For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are provided at each
corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the leveling legs. (Refer to
Storage Drawer section).

1. Use a 1-1/4" open end key oran adjustable wrench to equally unscrew
the four leveling legs two to three turns each.

2. install an oven rack in the center of the oven.

_ 3. Move the range to itsfinal position, then put a spirit level on the rack to

check for levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (Some models)

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface ofthe glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop
outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element
outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop tothe cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and
size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are allfactors 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. The
cooktop should not be used as acutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans
with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) is
not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard.

About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature

Element Configuration, appearance and

graphics of cooktops may be different

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.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your appliance is equipped with radiant surface elements with different
wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes in-
creases as the element wattage increases.

The example shown (figure 1) describes a model with all kind of elements
you could possibly have, but the element configuration, the appear=
ante and graphics of your cooktop may be different.

NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface ele-
ments, the glass surface will turn green when the element will be turned
off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its
original white color after ithas completely cooled down. (White glass
cooktops only).

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and

Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

Setting Warm Zone Controls (some models)

To Operate the warm zone

Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.

Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries
and oven-safe dinner

All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when
warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening toallow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic warp 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 warm zone.

Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts

when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.

Figure 2

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). Ifaluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass 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 above).
STAINLESS STEEL - 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.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for properaircirculation and be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot
air must circulate around thepans and cookware inthe oven for even heat

Broiling

Broiling isa method of cooking

tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before

preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to

BROIL as instructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the element to become
red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.

Open door

to the "Broil Stop"

position when broiling.

Always pull oven rack out

to the "stop" position be-

fore turning or removing
food.

Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and itsgrid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.

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

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

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food isbrowned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and

serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from
the element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The
first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require

additional time.

Grid

Broiler Clean=UpTips:

To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring
may scratch the grid.

be used if sprayed on a softcloth first. DO NOT sprayliquids directlyon the control padanddisplay
area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control area

maycause damage tothe appliance. Donotuse other liquidcleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring
pads, or paper towels - they will damage the finish. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF

position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the
flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a
cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not
use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for

cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish
stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier.
The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot

element will burn off. Food spilled on a cold element can be cleaned with a damp cloth any

remaining soil will burn off the next time element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A SURFACE
ELEMENT IN WATER. To remove surface element and drip bowls, follow the instructions

under General Cleaning.
To clean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still

warm. Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about
20 minute in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or solution made of equal parts ammonia and

water. A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleanser or steel
wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish, and dry with

a soft cloth. To replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow the instructions under
General Cleaning.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution
of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked

paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub
with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or

the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners
on the cooktop.

Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions (some models)

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the cooking surface.

Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are
not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

Daily Cleaning
For normal soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.

3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.

4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
For heavy, burned-on soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia.
Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean

damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop
cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.

For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is
still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.

1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.

3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructionsabove for heavy, burned-on soil.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance (some modeJs)

Consistent and proper cleaning is essentiaJ to maintaining y0ur Ceramic glass cooktop

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic
surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or 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.

ings on the cooktop surface. 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 bottoms can mark or scratch

the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do
not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook

foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard
objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a Multi-
Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:
First, clean the surface as described above. Then, 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.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use any scrub

pad other than a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately ifspilled 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 ceramic glass 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.

®_ Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

circumstances.

= Aluminum foil: Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under

• Aluminum utensils: Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of

other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil
dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.

Oven Cleaning

Cleaning the Manual Clean Oven (non self-clean oven, some models)

Make sure the oven iscool and that all control knobs are et OFF position. Cleaning the oven is
a lot easier when the door isremoved.

1. Remove the oven door; see under To Remove and Replace the Oven Door section.

2. Empty the oven includingthe racks.

3. You can wash the broiler pan, grid and racks in the kitchen sink.

4. Clean oven liningthoroughly with soap and a wet cloth and wipe with a dry cloth.
To remove burned-on fat on oven walls, moisten soiled parts with household ammonia, using a

wet cloth. Follow suggested manufacturer's cleaning method. (Do not remove the oven door
when using ammonia.)

Complete cleaning with a damp cloth and use a fine steel wool scouring agent ifnecessary.
The lower element can be moved up for cleaning purposes.

5. Replace racks in the oven. Reinstall oven door.

Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models)

Adhere to the foJJowing cJeaning precautions:

- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small

children unattended near the appliance.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control isturned off or else push CANCEL

pad. Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT

clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken notto rub, damage
or move the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materiaJs on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT use aJuminum

foil to Jine the oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itselfwith high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or

reduce itto a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning

1.Remove all excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning 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 tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

2.Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration).These areas heat

sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. CleanFrame

3.Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not with-

stand high cleaning temperatures

4.Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that

are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. You will be charged fora service call while the appliance
is in warranty if the problem is not caused by defective product workmanship or materials.
Your new appliance is a carefully engineered product. Many times, what appears to be a reason to call for service requires
nothing more than a simple adjustment you can easily make in your own home or is normal operating characteristic of appliance

under certain conditions.
This list is applicable to a variety of models; some of the items will not necessarily apply to your appliance.

OCCURRENCE POSSBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance
easily. Appliance must be

accessible for service.
Entire range or oven does

not operate.
Oven control beeps and

displays an F error code.

Oven light does not work.
Electrical outlet does not

work.

Surface unit does not heat.

Surface units too hot or
not hot enough.

Drip bowls are pitting or
rusting.

Drip bowls turning color or
distorted out of shape.

(1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may appear
out of alignment if countertop is not level. (2) Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and
can adequately support range. Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor. (3)

Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are

square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem.

(2) Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (3) Carpeting interferes with

range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

(1) Make sure cord/plug is tightly into outlet. (2) Service wiring is not complete. (3) Power
outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

(1) This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among the many
features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors the
internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating
correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the
current operation and beep continuously (flashing an error code of "F1, F2, F3", or"F9" in the
controller display window. (2) Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/
CLEAR to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains, record

fault number. Press STOP/CLEAR and contact authorized servicer.
(1) Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light in this owner's Guide for instructions.

defective. (3)If the problem is not resolved, contact an authorized servicer.

(1) No power to the appliance. Check steps under"Entire Range or Oven Does Not Operate" in
this Before you Call checklist. (2) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control ison
for the surface unit to be used. (3) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on

for the surface unit to be used.
(1) Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight

cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the
material affect heating. Heavy-and medium- weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight

pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
(1) Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.

Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after spillover. (2) Normal environment.
Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much as possible from

direct exposure to salt air.
(1) Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop

surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT use
cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element. Replacement
drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer.
