ammable materials contact hot surfaces.
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

• 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.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts
listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or
foods from the oven.
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 Use Oven Cleaners—No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket—The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
• 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.
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 qualied 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.
• 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 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 efcient 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 on the
control panel 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.
6
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 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 (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 cleaning &
maintenance” 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 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.
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 differ-
ent surface cooking elements at the same time. This can
cause uneven heating results. For models equipped with
a ceramic cooktop, uneven heating between different
cooking elements may cause the glass cooktop to fracture.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
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. 1) to the desired setting (Refer to the
Suggested settings for radiant surface element
settings table on the next page). 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. 1). 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.
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
mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control
knob as needed. 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.
You may switch from either coil setting at any time during
cooking. See Suggested radiant surface element
settings table on next page.
Fig. 1
Dual radiant surface elements (some models)
Symbols on the backguard are used to indicate which
coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol
indicates settings for the inner element only. The
symbol indicates settings for both inner and outer
elements.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise
to begin heating both the inner and outer portions of
the dual element. If only the inner heating portion is
needed for smaller cookware, push in and turn the
knob counter-clockwise to start.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
Warming Zone (some models)
The purpose of the warming zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature
to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies,
casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe
dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat
cold food on the Warming Zone. All food placed on the
warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain
quality.
For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the
cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the surface and be very difcult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended
for oven and cooktop use on the Warming Zone zone.
Setting the Warming Zone control
1. Push in either direction and turn the knob (See Fig

SELF-CLEANING
CAUTION
CAUTION
Self-Cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a ne powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
IMPORTANT
Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).
The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
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.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use caution
when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is
complete. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These items
cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures
and will melt.
• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and
ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are
not removed they can discolor or lose their
special coating properties and no longer slide
in and out of the oven cavity easily.
• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean,
use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or re when subjected to
high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at
the front center of the oven bottom. These areas
heat sufciently to burn soil on. Clean with soap
and water. These areas are shown in white (See
Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
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.
IMPORTANT
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.
17
Setting a self-clean cycle
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns use care when opening the

CAUTION
CARE & CLEANING
WARNING
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 cooktop cleaning cream 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.
20
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.
CARE & CLEANING
CAUTION
Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)
IMPORTANT
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning
products that have been specically 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 difcult 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.
Replacing the oven light
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.
The light bulb is located at the rear of the oven and is
covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass
shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
To replace the interior oven light bulb
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug
the range.
2. Open oven door for access to interior oven light. Once
located, press wire holder to one side to release the
glass shield (See Fig. 1).
3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder
into place.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug
the range back in).
6. The clock will then need to be set with the correct
time of day. To reset, see “Setting the Clock” in this
Use & Care Guide.
Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop
• Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot
cooktop will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use
thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to
touch the ceramic cooktop 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, not only will the utensil be damaged
or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the
ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the
cooktop surface.

must be accessible for service.
Surface element too hot or not hot
enough.
Surface element does not heat.
• 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 sufcient 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 sufcient 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.
• 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.
Entire appliance does not operate.
Oven portion of appliance does not

Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
Oven control panel beeps & displays
any F code error (for example F10, F11,
F13, F14, F15, F30, F31 or F90).
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop
surface.
• Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area
outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get
hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning
cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush
and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven

• Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
• 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.
• 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 grid 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. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.
• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press Clear/Off to
