IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP

• Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food 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 use.

• Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may damage the cooktop.

• Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed

for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a re.

• When you are aming foods under a ventilating hood, turn on the fan

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS

• 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or alumi-

num 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.

• 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. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper cookware and always use the oven racks.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

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.

Recommended rack positions by food type

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.

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 3). For

best results when using a single oven at rack, place

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 indicator light

Fig. 1

hot surface indicator light

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).

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).

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 graphics on the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element available. The Warming Zone and single radiant elements 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 may be set to heat together (See Fig. 1).

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.

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 be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

Fig. 2

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

Fig. 3

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.

Fig. 2

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

and gravies or steam vegetables

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.

NOTES

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

type of food being cooked will inuence the setting

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.

CAUTION

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.

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.

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 difcult 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 1).

The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by hi, med and lo. However, the control can be set at any position between hi and lo for different levels of warming.

2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The

Warming Zone will remain warm until the indicator

light goes OFF.

Temperature selection - Refer to the Warming Zone recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a

particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.

Home Canning

CAUTION

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.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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.

spoons could catch re if placed too close to the surface

elements.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does

not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller

diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when rst bringing the

water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 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.

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.

Benets of Convec feature

— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time

and energy.

— Multiple rack baking. — No special pans or bakeware needed.

The Convec feature uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time.

7 6

some

models

Heated air ows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and avors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.

Most foods baked in a standard will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature. Convec may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Convec:

• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

• For best results when using a single oven rack, place rack in position 4 or 5 (See Fig. 1). When using 2 oven racks, place in positions 2 & 5. When using 3 oven racks place in positions 2, 4, & 7 (use offset rack only in position 7).

Self-Cleaning

CAUTION

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.

SELF-CLEANING

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 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

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 concen- trations 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 rinse 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. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

• Oven racks

• Oven door

• Ceramic cooktop

Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry. Remove racks from oven during Self-Clean.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Special door care instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that can break.

Read the following recommendations:

1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.

2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.

3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.

Problem Solution

BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems

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.

• 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.

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 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. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.

• 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.

Metal marks on the cooktop.

Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface.

Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen on cooktop surface.

• 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 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-glass cooktop cleaner. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
