Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or

drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT

allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

• DO NOT LEAVECHILDREN ALONE--toavoid injuries

or burns children should not be left alone or

unattended in the area where the range is in use,

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, lower oven or warmer drawer.

Save these instructions for future reference.

• Storage in or on appliance --to avoid a fire

hazard, flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the storage

drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven. Thisincludes

paper, plastic and cloth items, such ascookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the

range.

• To avoid a possible fire hazard, never use your

appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do not store items of interest to children in the 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 touch surface heating units or surface

cooking elements, areas near these units or elements, or interior surfaces of 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. 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 the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven

door and oven door window.

• Wear proper apparel -- loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Donot let clothing or otherflammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires -- flour may be explosive. 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 ofa potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of

pressure may cause container to burst and result mmjury,

Do not attempt to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the

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.

• Besure to always have an appropriate foam-type fire extinguisher available, visible and easily accessible

located near the appliance.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip bracket/screws, or any other part of the range.

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

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

Use care when opening oven door, lower 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 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 ishot 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

• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

• 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.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS 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 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 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 cooking area, be careful to

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

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 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 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 ofglass,

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 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.

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven ison, warm

air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.

Do not block the oven vent.

oven vent location

Always use oven mitts to protect hands from possible

burns when using the oven or cooktop. The oven, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot.

Removing, replacing & arranging racks

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. Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Types of oven racks

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack styles shown.

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 cookware (See Fig. 1).

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5. For best results when using a single oven flat rack, place cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4.

Fig. 1

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.

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 the surface control OFFseveral minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

on & hot surface indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of surface element control indicator lights located on the control panel -- the on indicator and the hot surface indicator lights.

The on indicator light (See Fig. 2) will glow when any surface element isturned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure the

surface controls are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light (See Fig. 3) will glow when any surface

cooking area becomes hot and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a moderate level.

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the surface 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 maintenance and cleaning in the Care &

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

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat will transfer from the element to the cookware bottom.

The most popular materials available are listed below. 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 - Excellentheat 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. 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.

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).

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel

coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting

point of some cookware may be reached if left heating on

the cooktop when empty. The cookware can bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it could damage

the cooktop! Be sure to follow all the manufacturer's suggestions when using any type of cookware on the

ceramic cooktop.

Keep warm (some models)

The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature 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 keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming zone should be covered with a lid 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 dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

Setting the keep warm control:

Push in either direction and turn the keep warm control knob (See Fig 1). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by hi and Io. However, the control may be set at any position between hi and Io for different levels of warming.

When ready to serve, turn the keep warm zone control to OFF. The keep warm zone will remain warm until the

indicator lightturnsOFF.

Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone

recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a

particular food isnot listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving

temperatures by using the medium level.

• Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the cooktop including the keep warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

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 the cooktop 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.

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

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

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.

• Useonly 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).

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

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not

exceed 1 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.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on the cooktop 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.

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

If these items melt on the cooktop they could damage the ceramic cooktop.

• Usethe 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.

Convec bake (some models)

Benefits of the convec bake feature

-- Foodscook more evenly

-- Multiple rack baking

-- No special pans or bakeware needed

Convec bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuouslyaround the oven. This improved

heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using multiple oven racks.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with convec bake are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender

and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more

evenly. Most foods baked in astandard oven can be cooked

faster and more evenly with convec bake.

Suggestions for convec bake

When baking

• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum

recommended cooktime.

• When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).

When roasting

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using convec bake.

• Reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time. If

necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness isobtained.
