IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

WARNING

• Storage in or on appliance—ammable

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 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.

• 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 sufcient 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

CAUTION

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS 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 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.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do not cook on broken cook top—If cook top should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock.

Contact a qualied 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.

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 efciency.

• 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.

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 or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

CAUTION

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.

oven vent location

Fig. 1

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 - t the rack

onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Types of oven racks

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

at handle

oven rack

at

oven rack

offset oven rack

The at oven rack or at 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 be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Recommended rack positions by food type

Fig. 2

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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

at-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.

For efcient cooking, turn OFF the 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).

element ON indicator light

Fig. 1

hot surface indicator light

Fig. 2

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.

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).

NOTES

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 at.

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.

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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will inuence 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 (See

Fig.1). Check for atness by rotating a ruler across the

bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2). For more information about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop maintenance” and “Cooktop 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 at 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 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.

Fig. 1

• 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.

Fig. 2

Single radiant surface elements

CAUTION

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

nish 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 is too small for the surface heating area.

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

Suggested radiant surface element settings

The suggested settings found in Fig.1 below are based when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Suggested settings for radiant surface elements

Settings Type of cooking

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Fig. 2

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass

surface is touched before it has cooled sufciently.

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.

High (hi - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a

boil, pan broiling

Medium high (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat

fry

Medium (med, 5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces

and gravies or

steam vegetables

Medium Low (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew

Low (lo - 1) Keep warm, melt, simmer

Fig. 1

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will

damage the ceramic cooktop.

NOTES

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and

type of food being cooked will inuence the setting

needed for best cooking results.

The On indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator

light when cooking is nished is an easy check to be

sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will glow until

the heating surface area has cooled sufciently.

built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. 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.

Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water 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 difcult

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.

• Oven racks

• Oven door

• Ceramic cooktop

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 water. Rinse using clean water and a cloth.

Remove oven racks from oven before cleaning. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and 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 use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Cooktop maintenance” and “Cooktop cleaning” in the Care & Cleaning section.

CARE & CLEANING

CAUTION

General cleaning precautions

• 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.

Remember to follow these cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.

Cleaning under lower element (some models)

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

sufciently.

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.

Replacing the oven light (some models)

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

3. Turn power back on again at the main source or plug the appliance back in.

4. The clock will need to be reset (some models). To reset, see “Setting the clock” in this Use & Care Guide.

CARE & CLEANING

Cooktop maintenance

IMPORTANT

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply

a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop

cleaning creams leave a protective nish 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.

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;

replace with clean cookware before using.

• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in

the kitchen.

Cooktop cleaning

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 a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few 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.

30°

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)

CARE & CLEANING

IMPORTANT

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning

products that have been specically designed for

ceramic glass cooktops.

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 difcult 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.

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.

Problem Solution

Solutions to common problems • BEFORE YOU CALL

Poor baking results.

Appliance is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.

Surface element too hot or not hot enough.

• 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.

• Be sure oor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support

range.

• If oor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the

oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.

• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufcient room for appliance clearance.

• Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to

make appliance accessible.

• Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufcient space so appliance can

be lifted over carpet.

• Incorrect control setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element

that you are attempting to use.

Surface element does not heat.

Entire appliance does not operate.

Oven portion of appliance does not operate.

Oven light does not work (some models)

• Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only at, 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.

• The time of day is not set. The time of day must rst be set in order to

operate the oven. See “Setting the clock” in the Setting Oven Controls section.

• Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.

• Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or

authorized service agent.

• Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local

electric company for service.

• Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature.

See Setting Oven Controls in this manual or read the instructions “Entire appliance does not operate” in this checklist.

• Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see “Replacing the oven light”

section.

BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems

Problem Solution

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent.

Oven control panel beeps & displays any F code error.

• 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 Setting Broil 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.

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface.

Metal marks on the cooktop.

Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface.

Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen on cooktop surface.

• Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils

can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.

• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been

used. See Cooktop cleaning and maintenance in the Care & Cleaning section of this Use & Care Guide.

• Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, at-bottomed

cookware.
