Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above a range oron the backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Never Use YourAppliance forWarming orHeating

the Room.

• Storage in oron Appliance--Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units or in
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.

• Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left alone
or unattended in the area where 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,
HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OFTHE OVEN.

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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and

window.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Knowwhich 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 is equipped 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 Surface Elements--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 isturned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface

units.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--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 cook top service without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods underaventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USINGYOUR
OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if
equipped)--Stand 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 is equipped 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 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 use the broler 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 insertwith 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath
each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always 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

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

COIL COOK TOP MODELS

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place--Absence
of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or

components underneath to damage.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit
drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as

recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. Improper

installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or
fire.

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 orother reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential

exposure to such substances.

The Element ON Indicator Light

The Coil Cook Top range is equipped with a surface control light that will glow on your range--

i iii i i

the Element ON indicator light. The Element ON indicator light (all models) located on the
control panel, will glow when any surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this lig ht after
cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned OFF.

Oven Vent Location

For models equipped with coil surface elements, the oven vent is located under the left
rear surface element. When the oven is on, warm air flows through the left rear
element. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking

results. DO NOT BLOCK THE OVEN VENT.

(Cleaning Chart cont'd) .............................................

Surfaces How to Clean
Oven Racks Remove racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Controls. Use a

mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner's recommendations. Rinse with clean water & let dry. After
cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby
oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions).

Oven Door Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a

glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray
or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. DO NOT clean the oven

door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

Stainless
Steel

Clean stainless steel with hot soapy water & a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. DO NOT use
cleaners with high conecentrations 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 form the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Cleaning Recommendations for Coil Element Cooktop

Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves
when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp
cloth--any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used.

Never immerse a surface element in water.

Be sure the range is cool

before removing elements ordrip bowls.
Be careful notto bendterminal ends when

replacing elements after cleaning.

2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end
out from theterminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip from
the drip bowl.

Cleaning the Drip Bowls
Wash in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse & dry while still warm.
Hard to remove or burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for

about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia &
water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used
after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will scratch

the surface. Always rinse with clean water & polish dry with a soft cloth.

Main top

Lift-up rod

When lowering the lift-up

range top, grasp the sides with finger-tips

only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. DO

NOT drop or bend the range top when
raising or lowering. This could damage

the surface.

Replacing Drip Bowls & Surface Elements

1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.

2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip
bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite
the terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip & snap into place.

3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end
with the terminal plug as shown.

4. Hold the surface element & drip bowl together as level as possible & firmly
push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is

seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level
to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.

Raising the Top for Cleaning

1. Grasp the sides &lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in a
raised position. Only lift the top far enough to allow the support rods to
snap into place.

SolUtions to Common Problems

Before you caflforservice, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences

(shown inbold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance, The possible corrections to these

problems are provided with the problem listed:
Range is not level = (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 oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support

range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.

Cannot move a_pJiance easily. Apj_Jiance must be accessible
for service =(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet.

Surface element too hot or not hot enoulCLhh= Incorrect control
setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element to be
used.

Surface element does not heat =(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 & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because
lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily. (2) No

power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance
Does Not Operate" in this checklist. (3) Incorrect control
setting. Make sure the correct control is ON for the surface

element to be used.
Entire aj__pliance does not operate =(1) The time of day is not

set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the
oven. See "To Set the Clock" inthe Setting Oven Controls
section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.

(3) Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer,
installing agent or authorized service agent. (4) Electrical
power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local
electric company for service.

Oven does not operate =Be sure the oven controls are set
properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in

this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions "Entire
appliance does not operate" in this checklist.

Oven light does not work (some models) =Replace or tighten
bulb. See Changing Oven Light section inthis Use & Care Manual.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling =(1) Control(s) not
set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven
Controls. (2) Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop
position. (3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the

broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the
element. Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not
properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut
remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
(5) Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining.

Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to
allow grease to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has
built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive
smoking.

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent =Excessive
spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom.
Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or
excessive smoke are present see "Broiling" in the Setting

Oven Controls section.
Oven control beeps & displays any F code error (for exam Ip__

Fll)_ =Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press
CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the Bake or
Broil function again. If the F code error repeats, remove power
suppy to appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower the

appliance and set clock time of day. Try the Bake or Broil
function again. If the fault recurs, record fault number, press
CLEAR/OFF & contact an authorized service agent.

Poor baking results =Many factors affect baking results. Make
sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the
oven & space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to
preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven.
Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking

time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your
Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.

Drip bowls are pitting or rustinq_(Coil element models) - (1)
Foods with acids, such as tomatoes if allowed to stand in or on

drip bowls will cause corrosion. Remove & wash drip bowls as
soon as possible after a spillover. (2) Normal environment.

Houses along coastal areas are exposed to salt air. Protect
bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

Drip bowls turning color or distorted (Coil element models) =
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
appliance dealer.
