•User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.

•Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.

Tip Over Hazard

•A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Verify the anti-tip device has been installed to floor or wall.

•Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged when the range is moved to floor or wall.

•Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged.

•Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

Range

leveling leg

Anti-Tip bracket

To check if the anti-tip bracket is installed properly, use both arms and grasp the rear edge of range back. Carefully attempt to tilt range forward. When properly installed, the range should not tilt forward.

Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation instructions supplied with your range for proper installation.

•Neveruse your appliance for warming or heating the room.

•Do not use the oven or Warmer Oven/ Lower Oven (if equipped) for storage.

•Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Save these instructions for future reference.

4	Important Safety Instructions

•Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

•Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, lower oven drawer, near surface units or in the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

•Do not leave children alone—Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE ZONE, AREAS NEAR THESE ZONE, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVENS. ALL surface zones and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface zones may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

•Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

•Do not use water or flour on grease fires— Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

•When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.

Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

•Use only 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.

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 heat unopened food containers - Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

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

Important instructions for using your cooktop

•Know which control operates each surface heating zone. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the zone 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 flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.

•Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

•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.

Important Safety Instructions

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

•When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

For Ceramic-glass cooktop 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 qualified technician immediately.

•Clean cook top with caution—If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Important instructions for using your oven

•Use care when opening oven door or lower oven 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 ceramicglass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could 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 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.

•Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

Important instructions for cleaning your range

•Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

•Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

•Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

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.

•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 wellventilated room.

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.

12 Setting for Best Results

Upper oven racks

Types of oven racks

Your appliance is equipped with 2 styles of interior oven racks; 1 offset oven rack and 2 fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ oven racks.

Offset oven rack	Fully extendable
Fig. 1	Luxury-Glide™ oven rack Fig. 2

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.

The offset -Fig 1- oven rack may be used in all of the rack positions. The offset design provides additional height options. For maximum available space if preparing a large turkey, it is suggested to place the rack near the oven bottom (rack positions 1 or 2) - refer to Fig. 3-. Do not extend the offset rack past the oven door when in the lowest rack position.

The fully extendable glide rack -Fig. 2- makes food preparation easier. Especially when preparing heavier dishes. The glide oven rack has 2 glide tracks that allow you to extend your food away from the oven effortlessly without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

Fig. 3

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 (- refer to Fig. 3-). For best results when using a offset oven rack, place cookware on rack position 2 or 3.

Air circulation in the oven

For best air circulation and baking results allow a space of 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. The hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Fig. 5 - Proper pan spacing using 2 oven racks.

Setting for Best Results 13

Upper oven racks

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.

Removing and replacing the offset rack

•To remove pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out (not shown).

•To replace, fit the oven rack onto the rack guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack completely back into place (not shown).

Removing and replacing the

Luxury-Glide™ oven racks

To remove using one hand, reach through handle opening on top of glide rack and lift up on the release lever located across the lower front of the rack as shown -Fig. 1-.

While holding up on the release lever, pull the glide rack out of the oven until you reach the oven rack stop position -Fig. 2-. Using both hands, grasp the upper and lower portions of the glide rack. Lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven -Fig. 3-. Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack - the rack portions move independently and are difficult to handle unless held together.

To replace - grasp both upper and lower portions of glide rack, lift and place the rack resting evenly between the oven cavity walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position. Some force may be necessary to make sure the oven rack has snapped completely back into place.

NOTE

DO NOT attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are properly positioned inside the oven cavity. Be sure the glide oven racks make contact with the vertical rack sensor located at the left rear oven cavity wall (see item #10, page 9).

14 Surface Cooking

Cookware

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated.

Cookware should always:

•Have a flat bottom.

•Have tight fitting lids.

•Be well balanced.

•Be made of a material that conducts heat well.

•Be easy to clean.

•Match to the size of the element diameter.

Cookware should not:

• have a curved or warped bottom.

• overhang the element by more than onehalf inch.

• be smaller than the element

• have a heavy handle that tilts pan.

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 above).

•Stainless steel - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

•Cast iron - A poor 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.

For more information about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in the

General Care & Cleaning section.

Setting Surface Controls 15

How the cooktop works

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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and the 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 efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Left	Warmer	Right
rear	zone
		rear

Left

front Right front

Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

NOTE

•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 cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (refer to page 14 for using correct cookware on the cooktop).

•Please read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in both the

Care and Cleaning and Before You Call sections of this Use and Care Manual.

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel. When the upper oven is operational, warm air will pass through this vent naturally. The venting is necessary for proper air circulation and provides good baking results in the upper oven.

DO NOT BLOCK THIS VENT.

The cooktop control provides 5 digital display windows to help set power levels for the cooking zones located on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as traditional knob settings except the settings are displayed in LED style displays.

Available cooktop settings

Your control provides 25 different settings for each heating zone (except the warmer zone). Some of these power levels include ON (0%) Fig. 1, Lo (10%) Fig. 2, 5.0 (medium 50%) Fig. 3, Hi (100%)

Fig. 4.

The hi+ and lo- keys provide incremental adjustments for more precise control when changing settings between the lower heat levels (Lo to 3.0 power levels). Higher heat level setting changes (between 3.0 to HI) will change much faster -Fig.5-.

Display Settings Changes

Setting / Power	Incremental change

Lo to 3.0 (10-30%)	0.2

3.0 to HI (30-100%)	0.5

Element size indicators

Some cooktop zone positions offer 2 or 3 different element sizes. At these locations, you may choose to use the single inner heating ring only or you may add 1 or 2 more heating rings with each press of the BURNER SIZE key.

The number of circles displayed at the element zone LED represents the number of heating rings available for that position.

•1 circle = single element

•2 circles = double element

•3 circles = triple element

Setting the Wave-Touch™ cooktop

Setting cooktop elements

•If needed, wake the control panel.

•Touch the ON OFF key for the desired heating zone.

•If the heating zone has more than one burner ring size available, press and continue to press the BURNER SIZE key for the desired heating zone to change the ring size.

•Press the desired power level key (hi+, med or lo-) or for more precise level settings use the hi+ or lo- keys to make specific level changes.

Hot Element (HE) Message

After using any of the radiant element positions the ceramic cooktop will become very hot. Even after turning the control off, the cooktop will remain hot for some time.

The cooktop control monitors the temperature of the cooktop surface and displays a message “HE” (hot element) and flashes the burner rings when the cooktop is still too hot to touch -Fig. 1-. If the HE message remains displayed in the LED, the heating zone may be set again and used for cooking.

Suggested cooktop power settings

Use the chart -Fig. 2- to determine the suggested setting for the type of food you are preparing.

•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 sufficiently.

•Do not place plastic items such as 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 fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

About the warming zone

Use the warming zone (Fig. 6) to keep hot cooked foods warm such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. DO NOT heat cold food using the warming zone.

Use only plates, cookware and utensils recommended for oven and ceramic cooktop use.

Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to cover foods. Plastic or aluminum foil may melt onto the ceramic cooktop.

The warming zone will not glow red when it becomes hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the warming zone until the warming zone Hot Element (HE) indicator light is OFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Warming zone temperature selection

Refer to the recommended warming zone food settings choosing a food type to keep warm -Fig. 5. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium heat level and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures when using the medium setting.

For best results

•Always start with hot cooked food.

•When warming pastries or breads the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.

•All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain moisture.

Setting the warming zone

•If needed, wake the control panel.

•Touch the ON OFF key for the warmer zone .

•Press the desired power level key (lo-, med or hi+). For the L2 or L4 level settings use the hi+ or lo- keys to adjust

•When the food is ready to serve, touch the OFF key once to turn the warming zone off.
