Do not store items of interest to children in the

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

Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or

Heating the Room.

• Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units or in

the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable

liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near

the range.

° Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left

alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the

appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF

THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements may

be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these

areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent

openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper AppareI--Loose4itting 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--Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be

stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT--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.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

= Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a

pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.

=Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.

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

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

=Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat

Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

=Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--

Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

,,Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cook top use.

=When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if equipped)--Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or

replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located

under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with

coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for

models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the

surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe

burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near

the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired

location while oven iscool If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use pothoiders and grasp the rack with both

hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating

elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before

moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the

high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock, or fire.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

=Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler

pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

=Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any

part of the oven.

=Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

•The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

=Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each

surface element. Do not ailow 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 anowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer's

instructions for cleaning.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

=Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top

and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

,,Clean Cook Top with Caution--If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn.

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

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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline onthe cooktop. Heat istransferred up th rough the surface ofthe cooktop to the cookware. 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. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating element, concentrating heat

in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Cleaning and Before You Call

checklist sections of this Use and Care Manual.

NOTE: Radiant elements have alimiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent

damage tothe ceramic smooth top. Cycling atthe HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small forthe radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Dual Radiant Surface Elements (if equipped)

The dual radiant surface element is made up of an inner and outer coil within the same surface element. Avariable control is used to operate the diffe rent coils. The smaller or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The dual element can also combine both the inner and outer coils for a corn bined highe rwattage. The combined operation should be used to prepare larger quantities of food in larger pans.

Element On and Hot Surface indicator Lights You r range is equipped with two different surface control lights that will glow on you rrange--

the Element On indicator light and a Hot Surface indicator light.

The Element On located onthe control panel, will glow when any surface element is turned on. A quick glance atthis light after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.

The Hot Surface indicator light, located on the control panel, wil! glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Setting Surface Controis

To Operate Single Radiant Surface Elements

I III(I I .....

3 7

me@

Single RadiantSurfaceControl

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant 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 surface control knobs do not have to be

set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the

control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of

heat at each setting. Aglowing redsurface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is toe small for the

surface heating area.

When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the cookware. Note: the Element On indicator light will glow when one or more

elements are turned on. A quick glance at the indicator light(s) when cooking isfinished isan easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The Hot

Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned

to the "Off" position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled

sufficiently.

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 plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top

of the range when it is inuse. These item s could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
