cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.

= 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 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 = buildup of

pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--Sta nd 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 surface heating units or surface

ii

cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both

surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns.

ii

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

ii

other flammable materials touch these areas until they

have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas

are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,

oven door and oven door window.

ii

ii

• 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 attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn offthe

range. If the range is not turned off and the power
resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the

power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent

is located under the left rear surface element if your
model isequipped 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 interior 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.

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.

• 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 GasketJThe 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 offduring the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

IivIPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS 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 around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosolsmAIways 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 the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods.

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 cookingarea, be careful to

avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Use proper pan size--This appliance isequipped 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 surfaceelements--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.

IHPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

°_feSnetrack_

The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some

models) may be used for most cooking needs,

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than

normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible locations between the standard positions.

Air circulation in the oven

For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to

reach around the food.

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 and only

flat-bottomed cookware should be used.

Lo _ hi

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.

Forefficient cooking, turn OFFthe element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.

Element on & hot surface indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the
control panel i the on indicator and the hot surface
indicator lights.

The element on indicator light will glow when any surface
element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light
after cooking is an easy check to be sure the surface
controls are turned OFF (See Fig. 1).

The hot surface indicator light will glow when any surface
cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass
cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level (See Fig. 2).

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.

Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the Care &Cleaning and

Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care
Manual.

Types of cooktop elements

The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the
ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element
available. The single radiant element will have one round
outline pattern shown. The dual radiant element isflexible
because you may set just the smaller inner portion as a
single element or both inner and outer portions can be set
to heat together (See Fig. 1).

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the

setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow

the recommendations for using proper cookware as

illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact
with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 3). For more information about the
ceramic cooktop see"Cooktop cleaning & maintenance" in

the Care &Cleaning section.

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 =Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron =A slow heat conductor however will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

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 spot. Use the graphics
provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed (See Fig. 2). 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 radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see

"Cookware material types" in the Before setting

surface controls section).

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canningusing a ceramic cooktop.

= Hake sure the diameter of the canner does not

exceed I inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner, It is recommended to use smaller

diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass
cooktops.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.

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 flammable items such as plastic 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 closeto the surface elements.

Do not allowaluminum foil, orANY material that can
melt to ma ke contact with the ceramic glass cooktop,

If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the
ceramiccooktop.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.

Self=Cleaning

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:

• DO NOT useoven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). 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.

Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and ANYALUMINUM FOIL. These items cannot

withstand high cleaning temperatures and will
melt.

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.

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.

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

.......comp!ete: The 0Yen may sti!/be VERY HOT. ...................................................................................

Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY

ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed they will lose their special coating

properties and no longer slide in and out of the
oven cavity easily.

Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on

the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting the self-cleaning 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 milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.

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. These areas are shown in white (See Fig. 1).

Cooktop maintenance

Cooktop cleaning

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to

maintaining your ceramicglasscooktop,

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of
the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new
appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch
cleaning pad. 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 or
dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

DO not:

- Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

o Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;

replace with clean cookware before using.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFFand the cooktop is COOL.

For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of glass=ceramic cooktop cleaner directly
to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire
cooktop surface. Hake sure the cooktop iscleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of glass=ceramic cooktop cleaner directly
to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non=abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as
needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop
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 cleaning

cream and buff surface clean.

Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in

the kitchen.
Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.

Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop,

they may cause it to crack.

Cooktop cleaning (cont'd)

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.

U

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.

Do not use the following on the 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.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning
products that have been specifically designed for ceramic

glass cooktops.

Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop

• Aluminum Foil =Useof aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin
aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to
touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum

is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be

taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry
when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be
damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or

mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently

damaging the cooktop surface.

- 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.
