Important Safety Instructions
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 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.
• 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.
• 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 fire.
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 well-ventilated room.
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 near
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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening 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 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.
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 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.
IMPORT ANT SAFETY NOTICE

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 (See Fig 1). 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.
Figure 1
Figure 2
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use and Care Manual.
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 smooth top. 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 11 for using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with 6 different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases. The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows (See Figure 2); a smaller 6 inch radiant element located at the right rear position; a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the right front position; a Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position (See page 12); and 2 (two) 8 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and rear positions. Located between left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant element.
The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using the same knob that controls the left front radiant element position. See pages 10 and 11 for more information about using BRIDGE radiant element.

Setting Surface Controls
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control (“ESEC”) feature includes 4 digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for 4 of the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop, including shared settings at the left front knob control position for both the left front radiant element and the “Bridge” radiant element. Also the right front control knob position shares settings for the dual radiant element. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figures 1 thru 4).
The available ESEC Display Settings
The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0 decrease in increments of .5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo (Simmer settings) decrease in increments of .2 for more precise settings of lower heat levels.
Use the chart (Fig. 5) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
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.

Setting Surface Controls
ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the single, dual or Bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the message “HE” (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (See Fig.1). If the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned on again for use.
ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will be displayed (flashing “Er”) at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, be sure to set all of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (See Fig. 2). This will reset the surface controls.
Be sure to reset the clock (See page 16). Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the “Er” message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact an authorized servicer for assistance.
ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )
The self-clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. Conversely the ESEC feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature is active. Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active, “ - - ” may appear in any display window (See Fig. 3). If any of the surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, “HE” will appear in the window instead of the “ - - ” message.

Figure 2
The Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear (Fig. 5) and left rear (Fig. 6) element positions. The BRIDGE element position can also be used as a single element (See Bridge Element Operating Instructions on pages 10-11).
T o Operate the Single Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction
to the desired setting using the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting (Fig. 4). Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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 has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The HE message will appear after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Figure 6
The Bridge Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface element located at the left front and middle (See Fig. 10) positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware (Fig.
10). The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single element without the Bridge (See Fig. 8).
Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control panel on each side of the Bridge element control knob. These symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when operating the Bridge element. The symbol in Figure 7 indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (See Fig. 8). The symbol in Figure 9 indicates that both the single and Bridge portions of the element will heat together (Fig. 10). You may switch from either of these settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.
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.

Operating the Warming Zone
The purpose of the Warming Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the Warming Zone 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 or aluminum foil 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 difficult to clean. Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warming Zone.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warming
Zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
T o Set the W arming Zone Control:
1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The On indicator light will come on (See Fig. 1 and 2). 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 heating (Fig.1).
2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warming Zone Hot surface indicator light will remain on until the Warming Zone cools to a moderate level (See Fig. 1 and 2).
Temperature Selection
Refer to the table for recommended Warming Zone food settings (Fig. 3). 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.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Arranging the Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the backguard. When the oven is on, hot
air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Removing and Replacing Oven
To remove, pull the rack forward until
it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown.
Racks
Arranging Oven Racks
To bake on a single rack, place the rack in position 3 or 4. To bake on 2 racks, place the racks in positions 2
and 4. To bake on 3 racks, place the racks in positions 1, 3 and 5. Use the 6th rack position (Roasting Shelf) for roasting large food items only.
For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

(some models)
Arranging Warming Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).
In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
Set the Warming Drawer rack in either position as shown below (Fig. 1).
Figure 1
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warming Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.
To Operate the Warming Drawer
The purpose of the Warming Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the Warming Drawer.
All food placed in the Warming Drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warming Drawer.
T o Set the W arming Drawer Control
The control is used to select the temperature of the Warming Drawer. It is located on the control panel. To set the control, push in and turn the knob to the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low). To set the Warming Drawer control:
1. Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.
2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. When done, turn the control to OFF.
Warming Drawer T emperature Selection
Recommended Warming Drawer food settings are shown in Figure 3. If a particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for example, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls) use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warming Drawer while in use.
Warming Drawer Indicator Light
The Warming Drawer indicator light is located above the Warming Drawer control knob (See Fig. 2). It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The Warming Drawer will not operate during the
self-clean cycle.

Convection Roasting Instructions
When using the Convection Roast pad, use the broiler pan and insert along with the roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help prevent grease spatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.
To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease
spattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.
1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. See Arranging
Oven Racks in this Use & Care Manual.
2. Place the insert in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the insert allowing the
heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the insert in the broiler pan . DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum foil.
3. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See Fig. 4).

Setting Convection Bake
Benefits of Convection Bake:
The CONV BAKE pad controls the Convection Bake feature. Use
the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300°F (149° C) to 550°F (288° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two (2) or three (3) racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake.
Note: The BAKE TIME pad may be used to set timed or delayed timed cooking with the CONV BAKE pad (refer to page 22 steps 6-8).
—Some foods cook up to 30% faster,
saving time and energy. —Multiple rack baking. —No special pans or bakeware
needed.

General Convection Bake Instructions
1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as shown on page 37. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 1, 3 and 5 (for 3 racks) and positions 2 and 4 (for 2 racks; See Fig. 2).
4. Layer cakes will have better results when baked with the normal Bake feature.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self­cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Self-Cleaning
Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. These temperatures are well above normal cooking temperatures.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before pre-cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning and while wiping up the residue after the self­clean cycle.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. 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.
2. Remove the Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Broiler Pan Insert, all utensils and any
aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
Figure 2
Figure 1
3. Oven racks should be removed, or else their finish will dull and their color turn slightly blue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then remove the racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier back into their positions).
4. Remove any excess spill-overs in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spill-overs can cause heavy smoke or fire 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 filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
5. 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 sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
If at any time when setting the oven for the Self-Cleaning feature, the oven control continuously beeps and the display shows “dr”; close the oven door (See Figure 1).
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.
The bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front of the bake element (See Fig. 2). This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
The bake element
may be tilted about
4 or 5 inches

Self-Cleaning
T o Start Self-Clean Cycle
The CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.
So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
*It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
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; they may be burned if they touch the hot oven door surfaces.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes.
Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water using a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance.To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. 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 from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia­soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Oven racks should be removed from the oven during the self-clean cycle for cleaning. When removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

Care & Cleaning
Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with your new range. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad (such as a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge). This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish 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 bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
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 the cooktop cleaning cream (cleaner must be recommended for Ceramic cooktops) directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of the cooktop cleaning cream (cleaner must be recommended for Ceramic cooktops) directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Once the sponge has been used on the cooktop, do not use the sponge 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 cleaner and buff surface clean.
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
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop (cont’d)
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult 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.
Note: Additional cooktop cleaning cream may be ordered by visiting the Frigidaire website at www.frigidaire.com
Removing and Replacing the Oven Door (all models)

Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
OCCURRENCE
Range 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.
Oven does not operate.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may appear out of alignment if countertop is not level (See the Range Installation Instructions).
Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet. Incorrect surface control setting. Make sure the correct control is set for the surface area you
wish to heat. Light-weight or warped cookware was used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
heavy-weight cookware. Flat pans heat much better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating results. Heavy and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because light-weight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
No electrical power to the appliance. Check steps under Entire Appliance Does Not Operate in this Before You Call checklist.
Be sure the oven controls are set correctly for the desired function. See the Setting Oven
Controls section or Entire Appliance Does Not Operate in this Before You Call checklist.
Entire appliance does not operate.
Oven light(s) does not work.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling.
The clock must be set with the time of day in order to operate the oven. Make sure electrical cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.
Service wiring is not complete. Contact a Servicer for assistance. Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service. Burned-out or loose bulb. See Operating and Replacing the Oven Lights section in this
Use & Care Manual to replace or tighten the bulb(s). Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service.
Meat is too close to the broil element. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance between the meat and the oven broil element.
Meat is not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Remove remaining fatty edges to prevent the meat from curling, but do not cut into the lean of the meat.
Broiler Pan used without the Broiler Pan Insert or insert is covered with foil. DO NOT use the Broiler Pan without the Broiler Pan Insert or cover the insert with foil.
Broiler Pan/Insert or grease build-up undeneath the 6th rack position. Clean grease from below the 6th rack position. Excessive smoking is caused by a build-up of grease or food spatters. If the Broiler Pan/Insert is used often, clean them on a regular basis.
