IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface 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
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, 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.

• Do not heat unopened food containers—Build-up of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

• 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.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
surface heating to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit
will also improve efficiency.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating
Elements— Heating elements should never be

immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves
during normal operation.

• Make sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place—
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surface units—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 units unattended at high heat

settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven

bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners
or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire
or short circuit.

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

IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the ovens
off. If the ovens are not turns off and the power resumes, the

oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could
catch fire or spoil.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by
cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the
first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of
time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature
above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting it
to the power supply.

• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop use.

• Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• 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 qualified 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.

• Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This
could cause glass to break.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door—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.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing
so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance
or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and
replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation

hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow
grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in
the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming food under
the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.

• 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.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Keep ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own

vent located on the top, near each side and towards the
back of the cooktop. 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 an
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are 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 ovens.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use a broiler pan without its grid. Broiler pan and
its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven,

remove all utensils or foods from the oven.

• Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner
or ovens 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.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

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 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.

Selecting Surface
Cooking Utensils

Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom. There should be no gap between
the pan and ruler.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's
instructions. Some utensils were not made
to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Do not use griddle over

more than one burner because it could
damage your cooktop. It can also result in
exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards and be
hazardous to your health.

For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these
characteristics:

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be

used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

Specialty Pans & Trivets

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use
on your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores.

DO NOT use two elements (if the
cooktop is not equipped with bridge el­ement) to heat one large pan such as a
roaster or griddle, or allow cooking
utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface
of the pan in either of these situations
could cause discoloring or cracking of
the glass range surface.

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the surface elements.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring. Because this ring
traps heat, the cooktop surface
could be damaged.

For glass smoothtop models, only
flat bottomed woks (without
support rings) may be used.

Canning Tips &
Information

Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Use extreme cau­tion to prevent burns. Always raise the lid
to vent steam away from you.

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with the manufacturer
of glass jars for the latest canning information.

2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.

3. Center canner on the burner grate.

4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring
the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain
a constant boil.

5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop:

1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate.

2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.

3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding
surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

Setting Surface Controls

Surface Control Knob

Do not place items
such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the cooktop when it is in
use. These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wood could catch
fire if placed too close to the element.

To Operate the Surface Element

1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a
lower setting to finish cooking. The 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.

3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the
pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are
turned on. A quick glance at the signal light when cooking is finished is an easy
check to be sure all control knobs are turned off.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food
being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Note: Due to the high intensity of heat
generated by the surface elements, the glass
surface will turn green when the element
will be turned off. This phenomenon is nor­mal and the glass will come back to its origi­nal white color after it has completely
cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).

Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models)

The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic
glass surface. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface
heating unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches
the diameter of the surface unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the
cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of cookware,
number of surface units in use and the settings of the surface units are factors that
will affect the amount of the heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units.
The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy
or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch
the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without
utensils) is not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke
and cause a potential fire hazard. Never use the griddle or similar cooking sheet on
the ceramic glass cooktop.

Types of Heating Units Used
REGULAR RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)

The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.
Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels. Knobs need first to be pressed
in when at OFF position, then turned to the desired heat settings.

A glowing red surface extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil
indicates the utensil is too small for the unit. The control knob does not have to be
set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control
knob as needed. The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow.

Note: A built-in protector will automatically turn off the radiant and expandable
radiant element if the ceramic-glass temperature exceeds the set limit.

EXPANDABLE RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)

This heating unit adapts to both small and large heating utensils. The unit control
dial has a dual set of graduations. For small utensils use the left side of the control
dial; for large utensils the right. Only the inner surface of the unit heats when using
it for small utensils; the whole surface heats for large utensils. The hot surface and
surface indicator lights will glow when the heating unit is turned ON.

Note: During any heat setting of the outer radiant element, the inner radiant ele­ment cycles on and off with the outer element.

BRIDGE RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)

Its principal advantage is to allow you to create larger cooking zone for larger pan
suchs as roaster, griddle or some other specialty pans.

Warmer Zone Recommended

Food Settings

The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving tempera­ture. Use the warmer 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. Do not heat cold food on the warmer zone.
All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
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 dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use
on the warmer zone.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the

warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

To Set the Warmer Zone Control

1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures are approxi-

mate, 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.

2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The warmer zone will remain warm until

the hot surface indicator light goes off.

Temperature Selection

Refer to the chart for recommended heating levels. 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.

Oven Vent(s) and Racks

Main Oven

Ovens Vents Locations For Ceramic Glass Cooktops Models :

Each oven has its own vent located on the top, near each side and towards the
back of the cooktop. When an oven is on, warm air is released through the vent;
this ventilation is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking
results.

Ovens Vents Locations For Coil Elements Models :

The oven is vented through the center of the left rear element for the left oven
and the center of the right rear element for the right oven. When an oven is
on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results.

Arranging Oven Racks

The smaller oven has one oven rack and the larger oven has two oven racks.

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERAT­ING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of
rack and slide out.

To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Side Oven

Air Circulation in the
Oven

If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of
oven.

For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2­4" (5-10 cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not
touch each other or the door, sides and back of oven. The hot air must circulate
around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

11

Oven Baking Informa­tions

For best results, preheat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or
pastries, etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking
casseroles.

The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly
from your previously owned appliance.

See step-by-step baking instructions for right oven in the Electronic Oven Control
section.

See left oven step-by-step instructions in the “Setting Left Oven Control” section.

Broiling Informations

Broil Stop
Position

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat from the broil
element of the oven. Meats are placed on the broiling rack and the rack is placed
under the broiling element.

See the broiling instructions for main oven in the Setting Oven Controls section in
the Timer Guide.

See side oven step-by-step instructions in the Setting Side Oven Control section.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (remove all utensils before
preheating; food will stick if placed on hot metal). To preheat, set the oven control(s)
to BROIL. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes.
Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the other side; season
and serve. Always pull rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

Main Oven

(some models)

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times vary; watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance
from the element, but on the thickness and age of meat, fat content and doneness
preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second.
Frozen meats also require additional time.

Broiling Tips (some models)

Broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.

DO NOT use a pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven.

If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO

NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Always pull oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing
food.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips (some models):

• To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO
NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.

• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon
as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot.
Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.

• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap­filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Convection Cooking
and Baking

(If equipped)

The convection option, available on some models, is an alternative to the conventional
oven cooking methods of baking/roasting.

Convection cooking is a method of cooking in which the heated air of the oven is
circulated by a fan at the rear of the oven cavity, providing better heat distribution.
This fan is covered by a baffle to circulate the air uniformly, providing even heat
distribution for faster and more even cooking, baking and browning. The heated
air penetrates food from every angle, sealing in natural moisture and flavors. The

convection fan automatically turns off when the oven door is opened and
resumes when the door is closed again. However, the heating element will stay

on.

The oven can be programmed to bake in the convection mode at any temperature
from 170°F/80°C to 550°F/288°C. Preheating the oven for 10-12 minutes is
recommended when using convection but not necessary when roasting or cooking
casseroles.

To select convection cooking mode,
press CONV BAKE ROAST button on
control panel before setting
cooking temperature and time.

Convection Roasting

(If equipped)

CAUTION: In the convection mode, using cooking times from conventional cooking

recipes may cause food to be overcooked. For satisfactory results, use only tested
recipes with times adjusted for convection cooking. Obtaining and using a convection
oven cookbook is highly recommended.

Convection cooking uses a lower temperature and takes less time to achieve the
same results as conventional cooking. In convection mode, the actual temperature
in your oven automatically adjusts to be 25°F/12°C lower than the temperature
displayed on the oven control panel. Because of this automatic adjustment you can
enter the cooking temperature from your existing conventional cooking recipe, but
do not set the cooking time to be the same. Even at the lower cooking temperature,
convection cooking times will be as much as 30% less than conventional cooking
times.

When programming cooking times for convection cooking, enter a time that is 20
to 30 percent less than called for in your conventional cooking recipe. After the
cooking cycle ends, decide if the food is done to satisfaction, slightly overdone or
slightly underdone (if underdone, cook a short time longer to satisfaction). Make a
note of the time and results, and with your next use of the recipe adjust cooking
time accordingly.

When convection roasting, use a broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. Broiler
pan will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent grease spatters. The
roasting rack will hold the meat.

(some models)

1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to bottom rack position.

2. Place the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the grid 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
grid in the broiler pan. DO NOT use broiler pan without the grid. DO NOT cover
the grid with aluminum foil.

To Bake

1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.

2. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the desired oven temperature. When the

oven is first turned on, the oven indicator light below the Temperature Control
Knob will glow.

3. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not necessary

when roasting, cooking casseroles or broiling most foods. When the desired
temperature is reached, the oven indicator light will go out. The light will then
go on and off as the element cycles on and off to maintain the desired
temperature.

4. When cooking is finished, turn the Temperature Control Knob to OFF.

To Broil

1. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. For rare meats, position broiler pan

closer to the element (upper position). For well-done foods such as chicken,
lobster tails or thick cuts of meat, position the pan further from the element (to
a lower position).

Self-Clean Oven Cycle

(Main Oven)

Adhere to the Following Precautions:

- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

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.

During the self-clean
cycle, the outside of the wall can become
very hot to touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
A ventilation system starts automatically;
it is normal for the hot air to be evacuated
through the front of the appliance.

Before cleaning any part
of the oven, be sure the electronic oven
control is turned off or else push CANCEL
pad. Wait until the oven is cool.

DO

hand

clean

frame

DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on
the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may
affect cooking, or the foil could melt and damage the oven surface.

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash
you can wash away with damp cloth.

Preparing for the Self-Cleaning Cycle

1. Remove excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-clean cycle.
To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers 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 tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

2. Clean all soil from the oven frame and the inner door (see illustration to right).
These areas heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with
soap and water. Do not clean door seal because doing so can permanently
damage it.

3. Remove all utensils and any foil. These items do not withstand high cleaning
temperatures.

4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the
clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and the
oven has cooled, rub the sides or 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.

What to Expect During Cleaning

While the oven self-cleans, it heats to temperatures much higher than those used
in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is
also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven
vent, located on both sides of cooking surface.

DO hand
clean door

DO NOT

hand clean seal

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more
smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If
available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

NOTE: When the oven reaches its self-clean temperature, the smoke level will be
reduced to vapor.

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 completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Porcelain Enamel Oven
Cleaning

(If equipped)

Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before

cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the appliance manually.

Remove spillovers and heavy soils as
soon as possible. Regular cleanings
will reduce the number of future
major cleanings.

before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.

(Side Oven)

Ammonia must be rinsed

Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners
can be used on all interior oven surfaces.

General Cleaning

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to re­main on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

To Remove Heavy Soil

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with
the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well
with water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If neces­sary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT mix
ammonia with other cleaners.

Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:

1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing
bulb located at the top left rear corner of the oven; it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being
careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven
bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.

3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can dam­age these surfaces.

To Clean the Oven Bottom

Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or
oven cleaner following oven cleaner manufacturer's instructions.

DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the

appliance 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).

17

To Clean the Cooktop
Glass

THIS COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE.

Do not attempt to remove or lift the
cooktop.

30°

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Cleanups are easy when spillovers
are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

Correct and consistent leaning is essential to maintaining your heat-resistant glass
top. Spills and spatters should be wiped up using a clean paper towel and sudsy
water. This should be done either as soon as possible after the spill occurs, after
cooking is completed, or at the latest, before using the cooktop again. Use caution
if the cooktop is hot. For heavy spills, spatter or burned-on materials, use a razor
blade scraper. Hold the razor blade scraper at no more than a 30° angle and re­move food spills or burned on food residue.

Finish the cleaning process by applying a recommended heat-resistant glass cooktop
cleaning cream. Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinse with a paper
towel dampened with clean water and wipe dry. Always wipe the cooktop thor­oughly to avoid heating any cleaner residue.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Uten­sils

1) Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circum­stances.

2) Aluminum utensils

The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals,
care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. If allowed to boil dry,
not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of
breakage, fusing or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.

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. Be sure the controls are turned
to OFF. Do not use commercial oven
cleaners on any part of the cooktop.
Damage to the finish or parts could re­sult.

Problem

Fine ”brown lines“
(tiny scratches or
abrasions which have
collected soil).

Coarse particles (salt, sand, sugar
or grit) between bottom of cook­ware and cooktop that are not re­moved before cooking.
Using incorrect cleaning materials.

Cause

Things to Remember

1. Do not slide utensils across cooktop surface in any circumstance, doing
so may scratch or metalmark the cooktop surface.

2. AVOID using bleach and don’t use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface.

3. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

4. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark
the cooktop.

5. If cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to clean it. Call

your authorized service technician immediately.

6. Never use a trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic
cooktop. The ceramic surface may be scratched, metal marked or etched by
such items.

7. Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must
begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when follow­ing the steps below.

a) Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
b) Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out of

the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop.

c) Allow the cooktop to cool.

Use and Care of Glass Surface

To Prevent

Cleaning Materials for Ceramic-Glass Cooktop

Some cleaning materials may contain an ingredient which can damage the cooktop.
Use recommended cleaning products only (see below). Cleaner cream should be
used regularly. First use recommended products listed below, then use cleaner
cream.

Use only recommended cleaning products and follow these basic cleaning
suggestions.

1. Before the cooktop is used, thoroughly clean and saturate the cooktop with

cleaner cream.
a) Dampen clean paper towel and clean unit.
b) Wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel; then wipe dry.

2. For normal daily cleaning, apply a dab of cleaner cream in the center of each unit-

area to be cleaned. Start with approximately 1/8 teaspoon (apply more if
needed). Then, proceed as stated above in a and b.

3. Make sure bottom of cookware and cooking area are clean and dry.

4. Select heat settings and cookware large enough for food and liquid.

5. Wipe up food spills and spatters before they burn into surface.

IMPORTANT: Regularly use cleaner cream. If you run out of cream, use one of the
cleaners listed. Be sure to get a new supply of cleaner cream.

Never mix cleaning products! Mixtures may interact, with damaging

or hazardous results.

Recommended cleaning products for ceramic-glass cooktop

1. Baking soda.

2. Non-impregnated plastic and nylon pads.

4. Ceramic glass cleaning cream.

Do not use on ceramic-glass cooktop

1. Avoid pads, that can leave marks and scratches.

2. Avoid heavy-duty cleaning powders; these can scratch, depending on their

abrasiveness and cleaning pressure applied.

3. Avoid chemical oven cleaners. These can etch the cooktop surface and are

caustic.

4. Avoid rust stain removers containing hydrofluoric acid.

5. Avoid using bleach and do not use ammonia.

Special Cleaning Instructions for Mineral Deposits and Discolorations

Problem: Condensation, when cooking, often collects and drips from cookware.

The minerals found in water may cause a gray or brown film to develop
on cooktop. This film is very thin and appears to be under cooktop.

Prevention: Daily and proper use of cleaner cream. Stain from mineral deposits

must be removed from the cooktop as soon as possible.

Removal:

• Wet surface with water and apply cleaner cream.

• Scrub with clean, damp paper towel until stain disappears.

• Clean remaining paste away with damp paper towel.

• Apply dab of cleaner cream and polish with clean paper towel.

cool before removing elements or
drip bowls. Be careful not to bend
terminal ends when replacing
elements after cleaning.

(continued)

Surface Elements and Drip Bowls

Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans
easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled
on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with
a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used.

Never immerse a surface element in water.

To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls

1. Lift up edge of surface element across from terminal end. Lift just enough to clear
edge of the drip bowl.

2. Gently slide the surface element out of the terminal plug.

3. Lift the drip bowl up and out.

To Clean Drip Bowls

Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm. Hard
to remove, burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20
minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and water
(1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always
rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

To Replace Drip Bowls and Surface Elements

1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.

2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip bowl
is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite the
terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip, and snap into place.

3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with the
terminal plug as shown.

4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level as possible and firmly
push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is
seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level to
reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.

Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on
cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream to remove the marks. See
“To Clean the Cooktop Glass” section under General Cleaning.

Brown streaks or specks.

Areas of discoloration with metallic
sheen.

Poor baking results.

Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor scraper to remove soil. See “To Clean the
Cooktop Glass”section under General Cleaning.

Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning
cream. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper 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 recipes’ recommended
temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see “Adjusting Oven
Temperature” in the ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL section.

Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.

Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large amounts of
grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting the self-clean
cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow the steps
under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the ELECTRONIC OVEN
CONTROL section.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under “Setting Oven Controls” in the
ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL section.

Make sure oven door is opened to the Broil Stop Position.

Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between
the meat and the element. Preheat broil element. Preheat broil element for searing.

Self-cleaning cycle does not work.

Soil not completely removed after self­cleaning cycle.

Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.

Drip bowls turning color or distorted
out of shape.

Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on broiler
pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.

Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under “Oven Cleaning” in the ELECTRONIC
OVEN CONTROL section.

Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be 3 to 4 hours past the start time.
Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the
ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL section.

Failure to clean bottom, front top or oven, frame 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 nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven seal.

Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.
Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover.

Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as
much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop
surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT use
cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element.
Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer.

Cooktop and/or Oven light (some
models) does not work.

Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Cooktop and/or Oven Lights (some
models) in this Owner's Guide for instructions.
