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,
including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,

warmer drawer or lower double oven.

= 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 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.

= Do not touch surface heating units or surface

ii

cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both

surface heating and oven heating elements may behot
even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns.

ii

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

ii

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 oven door window.

ii

ii

• 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.

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.

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 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.

IHPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all
controls areturned OFF and the range is COOL.The range

may be hot and can cause burns.

• Clean the range regularlyto keep allpartsfree of

grease thatcould catch fire, 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 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 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 is
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent

surface units.

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 a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean cook top with caution--If a 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 cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.

Do not immerse orsoak removable heating

elementsmHeating 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 aventilating hood, turn

the fan on.

IHPORTANT 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.

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.

Types of oven racks

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven
rack styles shown.

flat handle

rack

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.

Removing, replacing &
arranging 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.

Arranging - always arrange
the oven racks when the oven is

cool (prior to operating the
oven).

Recommended rack positions by food type

The fiat oven rack or fiat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than
normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible locations between the standard positions.

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 beable to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to

reach around the food.

Food type Position

Broiling meats See broil
Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits & muffins 2 or 3
Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread

and casseroles 1 or 2

Small cuts of meat or poultry 1 or 2
Turkey, roast or ham 1

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 a uniform
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 is equipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights located 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.

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

Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care

Manual.

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 besmooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

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

Using proper cookware

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.1). Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 2). For more information about the
ceram iccooktop see"Cookto p maintena nce" and"Coo ktop
cleaning" in the Care &Cleaning section.

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 flat bottom canners when home canning.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom. See
Cookware material types in Before setting surface

controls section.

• Use only a completely flat 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 first bringing the water

to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest

possible setting to maintain that boil.

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2different
surface cooking elements at the same time. This can
cause uneven heating results. For models equipped with

Single radiant surface elements

To operate radiant surface elements:

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

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (Refer to the

Suggested settings for radiant surface element
settings table Fig. 1). 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 (See Fig. 2). 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 istoo small
for the surface heating area.

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

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 foB,

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).

o Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven.

Provideadequateventilation.

Remember to follow these cleaning precautions;

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.
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

Cooktop maintenance

Cooktop cleaning

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to

maintaining your ceramicglasscooktop,

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of
the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new
applia nce. 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.
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.

DO not=

- Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

o Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom

replace with clean cookware before using.
Use your cooktop as acutting board or work surface in

the kitchen.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

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.

For light to moderate soil=

Apply afew drops of glass=ceramic cooktop cleaner 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 iscleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil=
Apply afew drops of glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner 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.

Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.

Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop,

they may cause it to crack.

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.

Cooktop cleaning (cont'd)

Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop

Damage to the ceramic glass coo ktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning
products that have been specifically designed for ceramic

glasscooktops.

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.

,i

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.
