• 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 UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES
OF THE OVENS. ALL surface units and oven heating elements

may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units 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

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 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/Bake-

n-Warm™ Double Oven (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

Setting Surface Controls

Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models)

To Operate a Single Radiant Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on radiant surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Refer to

the Suggested Radiant Surface Element Settings Table, Figs. 3 & 4). Start most cooking
operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish 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. Each surface element provides a constant amount
of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge
of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

Note: The Element On indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A
quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished 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
sufficiently.
