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 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 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 contactthe 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.
Page 5
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 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.

°_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.
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 backguard --the on indicator light and the hot surface indicator light.
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

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 cookingtemperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Keep Warm Zone (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 zone
1. Push in the keep warm control knob in either direction (See Fig 1). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by hi and Io. However, the control can be set at any position between hi and Io for different levels of warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The keep warm zone indicator light will remain ON until the keep warm zone surface area has cooled sufficiently.
Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). 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.

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=dean precautions:
DO NOT use oven 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 ANYALUHINUM 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 complete. The oven may still be VERY NOT.
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 applia nce. 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 cookto ) 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.
* Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.
* Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and 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 is cleaned 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.
* 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.
Page 24
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 =Use of 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.
Replacing the oven light
Besure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOLbefore replacing oven light. Weara leather-faced glove for protection
against possible broken glass.
The light bulb is located atthe rear of the oven and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
