cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and
towels, as well as ammable 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, including the storage drawer, lower broiler
drawer, warmer drawer or lower double oven.
CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface cooking units may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other ammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufcient 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 oven door
window.
• Wear proper apparel—loose-tting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other ammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
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 water or our on grease res—
smother the re 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 re 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)—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 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 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 re.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
CAUTION
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 regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch re. Pay particular attention
to the area around 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 lter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning hoods.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS
• Make Sure Reector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking
may subject wiring or components underneath to
damage.
• Carefully check the reector pans, drip bowls, and
coils for packaging material. Remove all packaging
material before using the cooktop.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative
cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the cooktop.
• Do not allow grease to accumulate around
surface burners and drip bowls.
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 is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having at 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 efciency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable 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.
• 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 aming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
CAUTION
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface unit drip bowls, or reector pans. Only
use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or re.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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.

Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will inuence 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 at bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface heating element . Check
for atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 1).
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily
(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.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and
be sure to read all the information they have available as
well as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
• Use only quality at bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom
(see “Cookware material types” in the Before setting
surface controls section).
• Use only a completely at bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning using a ceramic cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does
not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller
diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass
cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when rst bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking elements at the same time. This can cause
uneven heating results. For models equipped with a ceramic
cooktop, the cooktop could fracture.

Operating surface elements
CAUTION
• Surface elements may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. The element surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the element
or the area surrounding the element is touched
before it has cooled sufciently.
• Do not place ammable items such as plastic
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 re if placed too close
to the surface elements.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface drip bowls, or reector pans. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock, or re. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual.
To operate surface elements:
1. Place correctly sized cooking utensil on surface
element.

Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use
abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control
knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp rmly and pull straight off the shaft. To
replace knobs after cleaning, line up the at sides of both the knob and the shaft;
then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF and if needed remove
any knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be
sure to squeeze excess water from the dishcloth before wiping the control
panel; especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean
water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before
wiping the control panel.
and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or
chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that
are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to wipe the cleaners off from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be
removed.
Gentle scouring with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots.
Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover
difcult 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-lled non-abrasive
scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with
a high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling)
to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
The oven interior is porcelain coated and is safe to clean using oven cleaners
following manufacturer’s instructions. After cleaning, remove any oven cleaner or
the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. Do not spray oven
cleaner on any electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven cleaner
to build up on the oven temperature sensing bulb. Do not spray cleaner on oven
door trim, door gasket, plastic drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of
the range.
Clean any soils from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket
and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy

General cleaning precautions
Remember to follow these cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.
CAUTION
• Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure
all controls are turned OFF and the range is
cool - Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon
as possible. Regular cleanings will reduce the effort
required for major cleanings later.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or
any other part of the appliance with aluminum
foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause permanent damage
to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).
• Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventilation.
Surface elements and drip bowls
CARE & CLEANING
To remove the surface elements and drip bowls
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal
end. Lift the surface element and drip bowl
together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element,
gently pull the terminal end out from terminal plug.
DO NOT remove hold down clip (if equipped) from
the drip bowl.

CAUTION
• Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of
these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
• Never immerse a surface element in water.
• Be sure the range is cool before removing surface
elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend
terminal ends when replacing surface elements after
cleaning.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface drip bowls, or reector pans. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or re.
Surface elements may 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.

Cleaning drip bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse
and dry while still warm. Hard to remove, 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 and 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, they will scratch
the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft cloth.
To replace drip bowls and surface elements
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the
opening in the drip bowl (See Fig. 1).
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, and
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 and drip bowl together as
level as possible and rmly 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
cookware sliding off the element.

CARE & CLEANING
Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface elements 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, the utensil may be damaged or
destroyed.
Cleaning under lower element (some
models)
CAUTION
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned OFF. The elements
may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements
are touched before they have cooled sufciently.
For models that have a visible lower bake element
ONLY- This bake element was designed to be tilted up
using your hand from the front of the bake element for
cleaning purposes. Remove the bottom oven rack before
raising the element. Do not to raise the element more than
4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems
Problem Solution
Poor baking results. • Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is
used. Center food in the oven and 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 Oven Temperature” section in this
Use & Care Guide.

Problem Solution
Solutions to common problems • BEFORE YOU CALL
Oven smokes excessively during
broiling.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
Oven control panel beeps & displays
any F code error (for example F30).
• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.
• Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the oven rack to provide proper
clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for
searing.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Broiler pan and insert wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place
insert on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into
pan (some models).
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
• 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 ames or excessive smoke are present see “Broiling”
in the Setting Oven Controls section.
• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press Clear Off to
clear the display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the F
code error repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and then
repower appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the bake or broil
feature again. If the fault recurs, record fault and call for service.
Drip bowls are pitting or rusting
(coil cooktop models only).
Drip bowls are turning color or
distorted (coil cooktop models only).
• 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 a spill over.
• Normal environment. Houses located along sea coasts are exposed to salt air.
Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
• Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface element 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.
