on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn
the cooking area off before removing the
cookware.

• Cookware 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 cookware should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not ex­tend over other cooking areas.

• Use proper pan size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select cookware with at bot­toms that match the surface unit size. Using
the proper cookware on the cooking area will

improve efciency.

• Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen­ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.

• Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop

• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop.
If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.

Contact a qualied technician immediately.

• Clean cooktop glass 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 harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.

• Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let potholder contact hot burner or element in
oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Remove all cook­ware and utensils before moving the rack.

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to
drain away from the high heat of the broiler.

placed on food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of

electric shock or re or a short circuit.

• Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod­els). Stand to the side of the appliance 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. Touch­ing surfaces in this area when the oven is on
may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic
or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven
vent. These items can melt or ignite.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN­ING YOUR OVEN

Before manually cleaning any part of the
appliance, be sure all controls are turned off
and the range is cool. Cleaning a hot oven can
cause burns.

any oven. Move birds to another well-venti­lated room.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE
AND MAINTENANCE

• Do not repair or replzace any part of the

appliance unless specically recommended

in the manuals. All other servicing should be
done only by a qualied technician. This re­duces the risk of personal injury and damage
to the appliance.

• Always contact your dealer, distributor, ser­vice agent, or manufacturer about problems
or conditions you do not understand.

• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualied
technician and an authorized repair service.
Know how to disconnect the power to the
appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse box in
case of an emergencY.

• Remove the oven door from any unused oven
if it is to be stored or discarded.

Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp

Removing, replacing & arranging 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.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will
become very hot which can cause burns.

Types of oven racks

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

at handle

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.

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.

element ON indicator light

Fig. 1

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 that will glow on
the control panel — the on indicator and the 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 glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level (See
Fig. 2).

hot surface indicator light

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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Types of cooktop elements

The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on
the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element
available. The single radiant element will have one round
outline pattern shown. The dual radiant element is exible
because you may set just the smaller inner portion as a
single element or both inner and outer portions can be set
to heat together (See Fig. 1).

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:

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. 2 & 3.

Cookware should have at bottoms that make good

contact with the entire surface heating element (See

Fig. 2). Check for atness by rotating a ruler across the

bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 3). For more information
about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop cleaning &
maintenance” in the Care & Cleaning section.

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 be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.

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

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

CAUTION

Single radiant surface elements (all models)

To operate the single radiant element:

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 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.

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.

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 single and dual radiant
elements table

Settings Type of cooking

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 (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

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.

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.

Symbols on the backguard are used to indicate which
coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol
indicates the inner coil only. The symbol indicates both
inner and outer coils will heat.

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 like for smaller cookware, push in and turn the
knob counter-clockwise to start.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the dual 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 previous page.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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 areas at the same time. This may
cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

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.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all
utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These
items cannot withstand high cleaning
temperatures and will melt.

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.

• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and
ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed they will 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 sufciently 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

sufciently.

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.

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 clean the oven door gasket. On self-cleaning models the
oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for
a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this
gasket.

Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See cooktop
cleaning and maintenance in the Care & Cleaning section.

CAUTION

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.

Cooktop cleaning

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)

WARNING

CAUTION

CARE & CLEANING

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Replacing the oven light

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 oven light bulb:

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

the range.

2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass

shield.

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 reset. To reset, see

Setting the clock and minute timer in this Use &
Care Guide.

26

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.

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.

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 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.

• 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
operate.

Oven light does not work.

Self-clean cycle does not work.

28

• 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 “Changing & replacing the
oven light” section.

• Oven control not set properly. Follow instructions under Self-clean.

• Self-clean cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under “Stopping or
Interrupting a Self-cleaning cycle” under Self-clean.

BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems

Problem Solution

Soil not completely removed after self­cleaning cycle.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling. • Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven

Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.

• 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.

Controls.

• 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 see “About broiling” in the Setting Oven Controls section.

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.

Metal marks on the cooktop.

Brown streaks or specks on cooktop
surface.

Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen
on cooktop surface.

• 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.

• 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.

• Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide
metal utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic cooktop cleaning
cream to remove the marks. See “Cooktop cleaning and maintenance” in
the Care & Cleaning section.

• Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil.
See “Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance” in the Care & Cleaning section.

• Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic cooktop
cleaning cream. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
