lmportantSafetymstructions

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR

THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR iNTE-

RiOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if equipped). 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 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 gar-

ments should never be worn while using the appli-

ance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room.

• 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 the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior oven 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 the container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused appliance 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 oven off. If the oven is not turned 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 tempera= ture above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before

connecting it to the power supply.

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 unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

Utensil Handles Should BeTurned inward and Should 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

unit.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended--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 used of protective

liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric

shock or fire or a short circuit.

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.

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.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Warmer Drawer (if

equipped)--Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam

escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/

warmer drawer.

Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is

vented at the front above the oven door. 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/Warmer Drawer (if equipped)

Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. 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 oven

element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if

equipped).

SELF-CLEANING OVENS:

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning

the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.

Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

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

Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around

any part of the oven.

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-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated

room.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler or warmer drawer (if

equipped) grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

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. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instruc-

tions for cleaning.

Cleaners/aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess

residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing

damage and/or injury.

Cooktop radiant areas that heat. Your appliance may

have one of these configurations - Fig. 1

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 off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range isequipped with radiant surface elements with different wattage

ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:

Model A (See Fig. 1):

- Two dual 5 or 7 inch radiant element at the right and left rear position;

- Two dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right and left front position;

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 on the cooktop (See Fig. 1).

Heat is transferred upthrough the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom 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.

Model B (see Fig. 1):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements at the right rear and left front positions;

- A 8 inch radiant element at the left rear position;

- A dual 6 / 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

Model D shown Only - Fig. 2

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic

glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care &

Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

NOTE: 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 smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur

ifthe cookware is too small for the radiant element or

ifthe cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 12

under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).

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

isnormal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down (White glass cooktops only).

Model C (see Fig. 1):

- Two 6inch radiant elements atthe right and left rear positions;

- A dual 9 / 12 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position.

Model D (See Figs. 1 and 2):

- Two 6inch radiant elements atthe right and left rear positions;

- A dual 9/12 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position;

- AWarmer Zone radiant element located between the right and

left rear positions.

Model E (see Fig. 1):

- A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;

- A dual 9 / 12 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A Bridge radiant element located at the left front & rear positions.

surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have

been turned off. A hot surface indicator light will come on

and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled

down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be

hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has

turned off.

Do not place

plastic items such as 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,

towelsorwooden spoonscould catch fire if placed too close

to the surface elements.

The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature includes digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figs. 2 thru 5).

The available ESEC Display Settings

The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 3) to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 2).

Use the chart (on top of page) to determine the correct setting for the kind offood you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities offoods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are idealfor delicate foods and melting chocolate

Hot Surface Indicator Lights

After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time. The "Hot Surface"

indicator lightwill glow whenever any of the element positions becomes HOT. The Hot Surface indicator lightwill remain ON while hot and turn OFF once the cooktop has cooled sufficiently.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er) An error message will be displayed (flashing "Er") at power up (or after a power failure) ifANY

of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions (See Fig.l). If a power failure should occur, be sure to set all of the surface control knobs to the OFF position. This will reset the

surface controls. Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions, the surface controls should return

to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the"Er" message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact an authorized servicer for assistance.

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle. Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active, " - - " will appear in any display window (See Fig. 2). Fig. 2

Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements (Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop Only) The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at location as shown on Figs. 4 to 7.

Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone (Model D):

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. It is not recommended to heat

cold food on the Warmer Zone. All food placed on the warmer 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 or

aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum may melt onto the surface.

Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.

Warmer Zone Temperature Selection Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels (Fig. 1). Ifa 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.

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 aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt orignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements or burners.

The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands

on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot Surface indicator light isOFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Selecting Surface Cooking

Cookware

iNCORRECT

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the

cookware (See Fig. 1). Besure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as

shown in Fig. 2. Note: The size and type of cookware used

will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Fig. 1

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:

t t

® Flat bottom and straight

sides.

• Tight fitting lids. ® Weight of handle does not

tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

® Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be prepared and the size of

the surface element.

® Made of a material that

conducts heat well.

® Easy to clean. ® Always match pot diameter

to element surface diameter.

o Curved and warped pan

bottoms.

• Pan overhangs element by more than one-half inch.

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 glass 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 above). STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST IRON - A poor 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.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for properaircirculation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat

to reach around the food.

Broiling

Broiling isa method of cooking

tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to

BROIL as instructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.

Open door

to the "Broil Stop"

positionwhen broiling.

Always pull oven rack out to the "stop" position be-

fore turning or removing food.

Broiling Tips The broiler pan and itsgrid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the

high heat of the broiler.

DO NOT use the 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.

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

Determining Broiling Times Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from

the element, but on the thickness and aging 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.

Grid

Broiler Pan

Broiler Clean=UpTips:

• To make cleaning easier, line the 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 soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cold element can be cleaned with a damp cloth any remaining soil will burn off the next time element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A SURFACE ELEMENT IN WATER. To remove surface element and drip bowls, follow the instructionsunder General Cleaning.

Toclean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm. Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minute in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or solution made of equal parts ammonia and water. A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleanser or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish, and dry with a soft cloth. To replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow the instructionsunder General Cleaning.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-

soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove

all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Cooktop Cleaning = Porcelain enamel Cooktop Models

Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions (some models)

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the cooking surface.

Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.

Correct and consistent cleaning isessential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. Iffood spills and grease spatters are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

Daily Cleaning For normal soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.

3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.

4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

For heavy, burned-on soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean

damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.

For sugary spillovers: Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop

is still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.

1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.

3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.

COOKTOP CLEANING / POMSHING CREAM can be purchased through authorized service centers or major department stores.

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or 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 bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.

[_ Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can i

[chem ca y damage the ceram c g ass surface. J

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose. For heavy, burned on soil: First, clean the surface as described above. Then, ifsoils 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.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur ifyou use any scrub pad

other than a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge.

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 illus- trated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (Continued)

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass 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.

• 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.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circum- stances.

• Aluminum utensils

Since the melting point of aluminum ismuch lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots

or pans are used. Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (StainlessSteel models only)

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning section

in this Use & Care Guide.

Oven Cleaning

Cleaning the Regular Oven (non self=clean oven, some models)

Make sure the oven is cool and that all control knobs are et OFF position. Cleaning the

oven isa lot easier when the door is removed.

1. Remove the oven door; see under ToRemove and Replace the Oven Door in this Owner's Guide.

2. Empty the oven including the racks.

3. You can wash the broiler pan, grid and racks in the kitchen sink.

4. Clean oven lining thoroughly with soap and a wet cloth and wipe with a dry cloth.

To remove burned-on fat on oven walls, moisten soiled parts with household ammonia, using a wet cloth. Follow suggested manufacturer's cleaning method. (Do not remove the oven door when using ammonia.)

Complete cleaning with a damp cloth and use a fine steel wool scouring agent if necessary.

The lower element can be moved up for cleaning purposes.

5. Replace racks in the oven. Reinstall oven door.

Oven Cleaning (Continued)

Cleaning the Self=Clean Oven (some models) Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

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

During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven 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.

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 NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art 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 cooking or 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 fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning

1. Remove all excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-

cleaning cycle. Toclean, 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 any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These areas heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean

with soap and water.

3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, 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. Ifthey go through the clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed

and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of 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 is in operation, the oven 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 the top of the control panel.

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: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.

Setting the Controls for Self-Clean Cycle For the setting of the clean cycle, refer to Timer or Electronic Oven Control Guide.

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that

are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. You will be charged for a service call while the appliance is in warranty if the problem is not caused by defective product workmanship or materials. Your new appliance is a carefully engineered product. Many times, what appears to be a reason to call for service requires nothing more than a simple adjustment you can easily make in your own home or is normal operating characteristic of appliance under certain conditions. This list is applicable to a variety of models; some of the items will not necessarily apply to your appliance.

OCCURRENCE POSSIBLECAUSE/SOLUTION Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible

for service. Entire range or oven does not

operate. Oven control beeps and

displays an F error code.

Oven light does not work. Surface unit does not heat.

Surface units too hot or not hot enough.

Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.

Drip bowls turning color or distorted out of shape.

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface.

(1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may appear out of alignment if countertop is not level. (2)Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor. (3)Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem. (2) Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (3) Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

(1) Make sure cord/plug is tightly into outlet. (2) Service wiring is not complete. (3) Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

(1) This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among the many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors the internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the current operation and beep continuously (flashing an F error code in the controller display window). (2) Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/CLEAR to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains,

record fault number. Press STOP/CLEAR and contact authorized servicer. (1) Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light inthis owner's Guide for instructions.

(1) No power to the appliance. Check steps under"Entire Range or Oven Does Not Oper- ate" in this Before you Call checklist. (2) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct

control is on for the surface unit to be used. (1) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be

used. (2) Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy-and medium- weight pans heat evenly. Be- cause lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

(1) 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 spillover. (2) Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

(1} 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.

(1) Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do

not affect cooking and will become less visible with time. (2) Cleaning materials not recom- mended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop Cleaning - Ceramic Glass

Cooktop Models" section under General Cleaning. (3) Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.

cream. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms. (1) 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 recipe's recommended tem- perature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Oven Tem- perature" in the Electronic Oven Control guide.

(1) A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after oven is turned off.

(1) Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time. (2) Exces- sive 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 guide.

(1) Make sure oven is opened to Broil Stop Position. (2) 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. (3) Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan. (4) Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is neces- sary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

(1) Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under"Stopping or Interrupting the Self- Cleaning Cycle" in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. (2) Control(s) not set properly. Follow

instructions under "Oven Cleaning" in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. (1) 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.

Avoid Transportation Damage to your Range

If you have to move your range into/out of your residence or when moving to a new home, it is suggested that you take the following precautions:

1. Screw in the levelling legs under the range.

2. Remove the racks and other utensils from the oven, and from the lower drawer.

3. Use adhesive tape to firmly secure the door and the drawer to the side panels. Also attach the electric power cord in the

same manner.

4. Use a two-wheeled trolley with strap and fasten the range to it. Cover the appliance with a heavy blanket to prevent

scratches and dents.

5. Avoid pulling or pushing the control panel when moving the appliance.
