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.
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.
• 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 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.
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.
Important 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. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat­bottomed 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 efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care
Single Radiant Surface
Control
Manual.
Element On & Hot Surface Indicator Lights
Your range is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on your range— the Element On indicator light and the Hot Surface indicator light (See illustration at left).
The Element On indicator light located on the control panel will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light located on the control panel will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will
REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.
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 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 flat.
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 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.

Before Y ou Call
Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences (shown in bold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these problems are provided with the problem listed:
Range is not level - (1) 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 oven rack is level. (2) Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service - (1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2) Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Surface element too hot or not hot enough - Incorrect control setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element to be used.
Surface element does not heat - (1) Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, 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. (2) No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this checklist. (3) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is ON for the surface element to be used.
Entire appliance does not operate - (1) The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven. See “To Set the Clock” in the Setting Oven Controls section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet. (3) Service wiring is not complete. Contact your authorized service agent. (4) Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.
Oven does not operate - Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions “Entire
appliance does not operate” in this checklist. Oven light does not work (some models) - Replace or tighten
bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Manual. Oven control beeps & displays any F code error (for example
F11) - Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping. Reprogram
oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF & contact an authorized service agent.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent - 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 flames or excessive smoke are present see “Broiling” in the Setting
Oven Controls section.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling - (1) Control(s) not set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven Controls. (2) Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position. (3) 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. (4) Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Poor baking results - Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven & 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 Your
Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual. Soil not completely removed after Self-Cleaning cycle -
Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the Self­Cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the Self-Cleaning cycle is started. Burned­on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Self-Cleaning cycle does not work - (1) Oven control not set properly. Follow instructions under Self-Cleaning. (2) Self- Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" under Self-Cleaning.
Metal marks (Ceramic Cooktop models) - Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface (Ceramic Cooktop models) - (1) 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. (2) Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance." (3) Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface (Ceramic Cooktop models) - Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use
razor blade scraper to remove soil. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen (Ceramic Cooktop models) - Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using
a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
