the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
Do not use the oven for storage.
• Storage in or on Appliance — Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven, 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. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or
property damage.
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.
• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone
or unattended in the area where an 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, OVEN 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 cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop,
the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
door and window.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
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.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented
between the cooktop and the backguard. 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 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.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned 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.
• 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 range. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food.
Any other use 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.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do Not Cook on 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 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.
• 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 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 range or turn off
the power to the range 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 instructions 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.
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. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Door — 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 colour 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.

Installation Instructions (continued)
Leveling
For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type leveling
legs are provided at each corner of the range at the base. Remove the
storage drawer to adjust the leveling legs. (Refer to Storage Drawer
section).
To level the range:
1. Use a 1-1/4” open end key or an adjustable wrench to equally unscrew the four leveling legs
two to three turns each.
2. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.
3. Move the range to its final position, then put a spirit level on the rack to check for levelness.
Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in one direction, and then the
other.
4. Use the 1-1/4” key or wrench to adjust the leveling legs. Turn each one until the range stands
firm without wobbling.
5. Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving.

LOCKING THE FRONT ROLLERS
(some of the 30” models only)
If floor is flat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers (some
models) to prevent the range from moving.
If floor is not flat or level or if this model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4 leveling
legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.
24” Models30” Models
Oven Light
Do not turn the oven light on during the self-cleaning cycle. High
temperature will reduce lamp life.
On some models an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened.
The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located on
or underneath the control panel.
On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.
THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.
To replace the light bulb:
BE SURE OVEN IS COOL.
1. Turn the power off at the main source.
2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.
4. For self-cleaning oven, press wire holder to one side to release glass shield, change bulb and be sure to replace glass shield.

Circuit Protection
As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt fuse is provided for each of the electric outlet(s) (2 max.) located on top of
the control panel. To access the fuse(s) raise the control panel cover. Models with no electric outlet have no fuse.
Indicator Light
Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units. Some
models have indicator lights only with the warmer zone and warmer drawer.
The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the
individual heating unit is turned on. If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the indicator may glow and yet, the heating
unit may not be heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.
When cooking is finished, a glance at the indicator lights is an easy check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned to OFF.
Models with Touch Pad Control (only)
NOTE: When the oven is in a baking, convection baking, broiling or self-cleaning operation, 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.
7
Specialty Pans & Trivets
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the heating element) may also
be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely
when it is filled with large amounts
of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).
DO NOT use two
elements (if the cooktop is not
equipped with bridge element) to
heat one large pan such as a roaster
or griddle, or allow cooking utensils
to boil dry. The bottom surface of
the pan in either of these situations
could cause discoloring or crazing of
the porcelain enamel range surface,
and damage to the surface elements
and/or damage to the drip pans (if
equipped).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in
direct contact with the surface elements.
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with
a metal ring that extends beyond the
surface element. Because this ring traps
heat, the surface element and cooktop
surface could be damaged.
For glass smoothtop models, only flat
bottomed woks (without support rings)
may be used.
Canning Tips & Information
Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Use extreme
caution to prevent burns. Always raise
the lid to vent steam away from you.
1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the
latest canning information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.
3. Center canner on the surface element.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring
the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain a
constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the surface element.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface elements between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same element all
day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
8
Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
Pans should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface
element. Check for flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom. There should be
no gaps between the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions. Some utensils were not
made to be used in the oven or on the
cooktop.
Surface Cooking
*GOOD
• 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 material that conducts heat
well.
• Easy to clean.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots,
griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above
recommended cookware requirements.
POOR
• Curved and warped pan bottoms.
• Pan overhangs unit by more than
2.5 cm (1”).
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than element.
Setting Surface Controls (some models)
1. Place the pan on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.
3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on.
Always turn the element off before removing the pan.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking inmediumweight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wood spoons
could catch fire if placed too close
to the element.
DO NOT use the surface element in self-clean mode.
During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements, when used, are subjected to high heat. To ensure maximum element life,
do not use the surface element during a self-clean cycle.

Surface Cooking ( continued)
Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models)
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic glass surface. The design of the glass cooktop
outlines the area of the surface heating unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the surface unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and
size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the surface units are factors that will affect the amount of
heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking
utensils) is not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard. Never use the
griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass cooktop.
Types of heating units used (some models)
Depending on model, three types of heating units may be found under the ceramic glass cooktop:
– Regular (single coil) radiant elements of various diameters or shapes.
– Expandable type (double circuits) radiants elements of various diameters or shapes.
– Bridge Expandable type (triple circuits) radiants elements of various diameters or shapes.
Regular radiant elements (some models)
The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.
Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels; knobs need first to be pressed in when at
OFF position, then turned to the desired heat settings.
A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates
the utensil is too small for the unit. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a
particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot
surface and surface indicator lights will glow.

Expandable radiant elements (some models)
This heating unit combines the characteristics of a small and a large regular radiant heating unit.
Its principal advantage is to allow small and large utensils to be used on the same heating unit,
therefore increasing the cooktop flexibility.
Heat power levels are adjusted by a special control knob that has a dual set of graduations; for
small utensils use the small graduations; the inner surface only will be heating. For larger utensils
use the larger graduations; the whole surface will be heating.
The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow when the heating unit is turned ON.
Bridge Radiant elements (some models)
Its principal advantage is to allow you to create larger cooking zone for larger pan such as
roaster, griddle or some other specialty pans.
To use the bridge element, turn the control knob on left side, to the bridge element settings.
For full bridge element operation turn on the rear element.
To use only the front element, turn the control knob on right side, to the front element settings.

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 figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through 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.
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 consistant 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.
Figure 2
Locations of the Radiant Surface
Elements and Controls
Your appliance is equipped with radiant surface elements with differents wattage ratings.
The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The example shown (figure 2) describes a
model with all kind of elements you could
possibly have. We will take this example
all along this section, but the appearance
and graphics of your cooktop may be different. Figure 2 have a smaller 6 inch radi-
ant element located at the right rear position;
a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located
at the right front position; a Warmer Zone
radiant element at the center rear position;
and two 8 inch radiant elements located at
both the left front and rear positions. Located
between left front and rear elements is a
Bridge radiant element.
The Bridge radiant element is controlled using
the same knob that controls the left front radiant element position.

Surface Cooking ( continued)
Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models) (continued)
Models with Electronic Surface Element Controls (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control (“ESEC”) feature includes 4 digital
display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for 4
of the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop, including shared
settings at the left front knob control position for both the left front radiant
element and the “Bridge” radiant element. Also the right front control
knob position shares settings for the dual radiant element. These settings
work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (figures 1 thru 4).
Figure 1
Figure 2
The available ESEC Display Settings
The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig.
4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0 decrease in increments of
.5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo (Simmer settings) decrease in increments
of .2 for more precise settings of lower heat levels.
Use the chart (Fig. 5) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food
you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep
larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will be displayed (flashing “Er”) at power (or after a power failure) if ANY of
the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, be sure to
set all of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (see figure 6). This will reset the surface
controls.
Be sure to reset the clock. Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions and the
clock has been set with the correct time of day, 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 produces, contact an authorized Electrolux servicer.
ESEC Lockout Feature (- -)
The self-clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. The ESEC feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature is active. Whenever the ESEC lockout feature is active, “- -” may appear in any display window (see figure 7). If
any of the surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, “HE” will appear in the window instead of the “- -” message.

Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the single, dual or bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will become very
hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The ESEC
control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the message “HE” (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (Fig. 1). If the HE message appears in the window, the
control can be turned on again for use.
Operating (ESEC) Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right
rear (Fig. 3) and left rear (Fig. 4) element positions. The BRIDGE element
position can also be used as a single element.
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
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 using the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting (Fig. 2). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting
to finish cooking. 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 has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The HE message will appear after
turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Operating the ESEC Dual Surface Radiant Elements
(some models)
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element located at
the right front (Fig. 8) position. The size of graduations on control panel
indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The small
graduations indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Fig. 5 & 7). The
large graduations indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Fig. 6
& 8). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Dual Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (Fig. 5) for smaller
cookware and clockwise (Fig. 6) for larger cookware.
3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting. Turn the
knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking operations on
ahigher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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.

Models with Electronic Surface Element Controls (ESEC)
Operating the ESEC Bridge Surface Radiant Element (some models)
The cooktop is equipped with a “Bridge” surface element located at the left front and middle positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware. The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both portions of the Bridge. If
needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single element without the Bridge.
Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control panel on each side of the Bridge element control knob. These symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when operating the
Bridge element. The symbol in figure 1 indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge element
will heat (see figure 3). The symbol in figure 2 indicates that both the single and Bridge portions of
the element will heat together (see figure 4). You may switch from either of these settings at any
time during cooking with the Bridge element.
To Operate the Bridge Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob counterclockwise to heat the portion of the Bridge ele-
ment for normal shaped cookware or clockwise for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.
3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if
needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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. Please note that not all cookware will fit the Bridge element correctly.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cook-
ware. Note: The HE message will appear after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is
still hot and will remain on until heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the left rear single element (see figure
5). Because these element have 2 different controls, one element can be used to cook while the
other element may be used to keep food warm.
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.

Setting Warm Zone Controls (some models)
To Operate the warm zone
Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
oven-safe dinner
All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil 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 warp 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 warm zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts
when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.
Indicator Lights
The Hot Surface indicator light is located above or below the
warm zone control. It turns on when the control is set and will
continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to
moderate level.

• Oven too cool.
• Oven overcrowded.
• Oven door opened too frequently.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For good air circulation in the oven and best
baking results, center pans as much as possible.
Allow 5.1 to 10.2 cm (2” to 4”) around the
utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure
pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or
back of oven. The hot air must circulate around
the pans for even heat to reach all parts of the
oven.
• Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C higher than suggested and
bake for the recommended time.
• Be sure to remove all pans from the oven except the ones to
be used for baking.
• Open oven door only after shortest recommended baking
time.
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown.
If using one pan, place in center of oven.

Convection Cooking (some models)
NOTE: The convection fan automatically turns off when the oven door is opened while oven is in a convection
mode and resumes when the door is closed again.
The convection oven uses a fan located in the rear wall of the oven to circulate heated air around the food to be cooked. The
controlled air flow pattern quickly seals the food surface retaining the natural juices and flavour. This method of cooking enables
you to obtain the best culinary results when baking, thawing, dehydrating and roasting foods.
Convection notes:
1. Most recipes can be made with temperatures set at 13°C (25°F) lower than temperatures required for normal radiant cooking
methods. Refer to the electronic oven control operating instructions included in section “Electronic Oven Control Guide” of this
Use & Care Guide. This can result in considerable reduction of food shrinkage and more tender meats.
2. Batch cooking is more convenient with better results.
3. Defrosting is quicker in convection mode when compared to regular radiant cooking.
4. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking/roasting when using the convection mode. Times
may be reduced by as much as 30% when using the convection feature.
Convection Roasting (some models)
When convection roasting, use the broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. The
broiler pan will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent grease spatters.
The roasting rack will hold the meat.
1. Place oven rack on bottom or next-bottom rack position.
2. Place the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the
heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase
browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on
the grid in the broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or
cover the grid with aluminum foil.

Speed BakeTM Cooking System (some models)
Speed BakeTM Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly and
continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with
Speed BakeTM Cooking System 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 a standard oven
can be cooked faster and more evenly with Speed BakeTM Cooking System.
Benefits of Speed BakeTM Cooking System:
- Foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
- Two racks can be used with more even cooking and browning.
- No special pans or bakeware needed.
General Cooking Instructions:
1. To convert baking times from normal recipes to Speed Bake times, start with a 30%
reduction in time and increase the time until desired doneness is obtained. Time
reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking with Speed Bake, except with items such
as cakes, cookies, biscuits, breads, etc.
3. When using two racks at the same time, place them in positions 1 and 3 for the best
results.
4. When baking cakes with Speed Bake, set temperature 25°F (13°C) degrees lower
than the recommended setting for best results.
To Set Speed BakeTM Cooking System:
1. Program the oven as you normally would for baking. Speed Bake may be used with Bake, Time Bake
and Delayed Time Bake modes.
2. Turn the Speed Bake switch to ON position. The indicator light will glow and the fan will come on.
The fan stays on when oven door is closed and shuts off while the oven door is opened. The fan will
continue to operate until baking is complete.
3. When using Speed Bake feature along with the Delayed Timed Bake mode, the fan will begin to
operate when the control is set. The oven elements will not begin to operate until the Delayed Start
Time is reached. This operation is normal.
4. To cancel Speed Bake function, push CANCEL on the oven control as you would to cancel any baking
function.
Note: Speed Bake mode will not work during a clean cycle.

Broiling
Broiling is a 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 Owner’s Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes.
Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.
To Broil
to the “Broil Stop”
Open door
position when broiling.
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.
Always pull oven 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.
Broiling Tips
Grid
The broiler pan and its grid 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
Broiler Pan
the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips:
• 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.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
1) Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils
The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans
are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing
or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.
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.

cooktop. If food 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/POLISHING CREAM can be purchased through authorized
service centers or major department stores.

General Cleaning (continued)
Cleaning the Appliance (continued)
Cleaning the Regular Oven (Non self-clean oven)
Make sure the oven is cool and that all control knobs are at OFF position. Cleaning the oven is
a lot easier when the door is removed.
1. Remove the oven door; see “ To Remove and Replace Oven Door” section in this manual.
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 or scouring agent if necessary.
The lower element can be moved up for cleaning purposes.
5. Replace racks in the oven. Reinstall oven door.
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-cleaning 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 part 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 use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. This may affect 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 fine powdered ash you can whisk away with a damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity 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 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 a self-clean 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. If they go through the clean
cycle, their colour 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.

General Cleaning (continued)
Cleaning the Appliance (continued)
DO NOT use the surface element in self-clean mode.
During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements, when used, are subjected to high heat. To ensure maximum element life,
do not use the surface element during a self-clean cycle.
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 colourless vapor.
Setting the Controls for a Clean Cycle
For the setting of the clean cycle, refer to the section on the timer or Electronic oven control.
Upswept lift cooktop (some models)
On some models, the cooktop, when equipped with coil elements, can be raised to facilitate
cleaning of the panel.
To raise the cooktop, grab the sides and lift from the front. Use the two sliding wire supports
located on each side of the cooktop and pull them toward you, to the lock position, in order to
maintain the cooktop in the raised position while cleaning the panel.
Lower the cooktop slowly; be careful not to pinch fingers. Do not let the
cooktop fall freely, as this may damage the porcelain finish.
To Remove and Replace the Oven Door
1. Open the door fully.
2. Pull up the lock located on both hinge supports and engage them in the hook of the hinge levers. You may have to apply a
little downward pressure on the door to pull the locks fully over the hooks.
3. Grab the door by the sides, pull the bottom of the door up and toward you to disengage the hinge supports.
Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the range to completely disengage
the hinge levers.
4. Proceed in reverse to reinstall the door.
Make sure the hinge supports are fully engaged before unlocking the hinge levers.

Warmer Drawer (some models)
Setting Warmer Drawer Controls
To Operate the Warmer Drawer
Your range is equipped with a warmer drawer. The purpose of the warmer drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer.
All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not cover crisp foods.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the warmer drawer.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and plates are hot.
Note: Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and
heated dinner plates.
Note: The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located below the thermostat control. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on
until the control is turned off. The warmer drawer is inoperable during the self-clean cycle. The indicator
light will not come on during the self-clean cycle.
To Set the Thermostat Control
The thermostat control is used to select the temperature of the warmer drawer. It is located on the control
panel. To set the thermostat, push in and turn the knob to the desired setting. The temperatures are
OFF
HI
approximate, and are designated by MAX, MED and MIN. The control can be set to the three settings, or
anywhere between.

12 minutes.
3. When done, turn the thermostat control to OFF position.
Appearence and graphics may be differents
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended settings. If a particular food
is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the
lid or aluminum foil.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.
When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2
vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.
Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat from
the drawer.
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
Heat bowls and plates on the MIN setting. Place empty dishes on the rack to raise
them off drawer bottom. To further heat dishes or to heat fine china, check with the
manufacturer for maximum heat tolerance.
IMPORTANT: The warmer drawer will be turned off automatically when the oven is
in a self-cleaning mode. The warmer drawer can be used immediately after the
clean cycle is ended.

Avoid Service Checklist
Before you call for service - read this
You may save the cost and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call by first reviewing this easy to use Avoid-Service Check List
of the most frequently encountered situations that are not the result of defective workmanship of materials.
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.
PROBLEM
INSTALLATION
Range is not level.
RANGE DOES NOT OPERATE
Entire range does not operate.
Oven does not operate.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Poor installation. See the suggested levelling instruction in the “General Information”
section of this manual. When oven is level, cooktop may not appear to be level with
countertop if the latter is not level.
Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact carpenter to correct
sagging or sloping floor.
Kitchen cabinets misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are
square and have sufficient room for range clearance (1.3 cm (1/2”) each side).
House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Check and/or replace fuse or reset
circuit breaker.
Cord/plug not plugged into wall outlet. Make sure cord plug is plugged tightly into outlet
(Canada only).
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure.
No power to range. See steps “Entire range does not operate” above.
Oven selector control knob (some models) set between two positions. Turn selector control
knob to BAKE or BROIL, etc. and make sure surface signal lights turn on.
Make sure the oven temperature control knob is set to the desired temperature.
Oven control beeps and displays -F1-, -F3- or -F9-. Electronic control has detected a fault
condition. Push the CANCEL pad to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram the
oven. If fault recurs, record the fault number push the CANCEL pad and contact an
authorized servicer.
Oven timer set on “time bake” function. Cancel the time bake function.

PROBLEM
RANGE DOES NOT OPERATE
Surface elements do not heat.
Oven light does not work.
Control panel light does not operate (some models).
SURFACE UNITS
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
No power to range. Check steps “Entire range does not operate” above.
Control knobs set too low. At very low heat settings of the control knobs, the surface signal
light may come on; however, surface unit does not operate. Turn the control knob to a
slightly higher setting until the elements start heating.
Coil elements not seated properly in terminals. Turn temperature control knobs to OFF. Pull
out and lift up coil elements. Straighten terminals on end of coil element if necessary.
Replace elements properly into the element block.
Incorrect surface control knob turned on. Make sure the correct surface control is on for the
surface unit to be used.
Burned-out light bulb. See “Oven Lamp” in the “General Information” section.
Lamp loose in sockets or burned-out. See Fluorescent Lamp in General Information section.
Surface elements too hot or too
cold.
Liquids boil at LOW setting of surface units.
CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP
(some models)
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop
surface.
NOTE: Clean sugary food spills on the heating surfaces as soon as possible, as these can cause cratering of these surfaces when
hot.
Raise or lower setting until proper amount of heat is obtained.
Use only flat bottom, evenly balanced, medium or heavy-weight cookware. Pans having a
flat bottom heat better than warped pans. Cookware material affects heating. Heavy and
medium weight pans heat evenly. Because light-weight pans heat unevenly, foods may
burn easily.
Incorrect setting of the control knob. Turn control knob to a lower setting.
Cooking on right rear element. When the oven is operating, heated air escapes through the
oven vent located directly under the right rear end coil element or little behind it. This will
increase the heat input.
See “Ceramic Glass Cooktop” section in “General Information” section.
31
Avoid Service Checklist (continued)
PROBLEM
POOR BAKING RESULTS
Baked foods too done or not
done enough.
Baked foods not evenly browned
and/or raised.
Baking time too long.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Actual oven temperature and cooking times may vary from recipe or box instruction. If this
is a new range, temperatures may differ from your old range. Older ovens may drift in
temperature. You may have to adjust your favorite recipe times and temperatures.
Use the pan size recommended in the recipe. Except when baking pies or breads, set the
oven temperature control 13°C (25°F) lower when using glass pans.
A covered pan should not be used for baking, unless specified in the recipe. Foods baked in
covered pans do not brown well.
Use clean, shiny pans. Blackened pans may cause burning of bottom. Use flat bottom pans.
Warped pans may cause uneven baking.
If bottom of foods burns, raise the rack. If top of foods is too brown, lower the rack.
Frequently opening the oven door to check doneness. Oven temperature drops 10°C (18°F)
or more each time door is opened. Set for shortest baking time and check baking process
only at end of set time. Check baking progress through the window if available.
Placing a very large pan or several smaller pans very close together on one rack does not
allow proper circulation of the oven air around the pans. A cookie sheet or sheet pan should
not cover the entire oven rack. Allow at least 5.1 cm (2 in.) of space for air circulation on all
sides of baking pan(s) and between pans and sides of the oven. When two racks are used,
stagger pans so one is not directly above the other.
Oven steaming.
Fan noise during cooking operation.
BROILING
Oven smokes excessively during
broiling.
It will take approximately 10 minutes for the oven to reach the temperature setting. Better
results will be obtained by pre-heating the oven before placing foods to be baked.
Moist foods may cause oven steaming. Cover the dish if appropriate for the food being
cooked.
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.
Open the door to the broil stop position.
Add 3 to 4 cups of water in the broiler pan to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Position
food on grid and broil. The water catches the grease from the broiling food, cools the grease
and reduces smoking.
Meat too close to the element. Lower the rack.
Remove excess fat from the meat. Slash remaining fat edges to prevent curling; do not cut
into lean.
Always place the grid on the broiler pan with the slots down to allow grease to drip into the
pan.
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is mandatory when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

Avoid Service Checklist (continued)
PROBLEM
SELF-CLEANING OVEN (SOME MODELS)
Self-clean cycle does not work.
Soil not completely removed after
self-cleaning cycle.
There’s some strange noise at the
beginning of the self-clean cycle.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Follow steps specified in this manual for appropriate settings of controls.
Door was not closed properly. Close door and start appropriate clean cycle again.
Failure to clean the bottom or front top of oven or door area, these surfaces get hot enough
to burn on residue. Self cleaning of area underneath a closed door is not efficient. Clean
these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned on residue may be cleaned with
a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven seal.
Clean cycle too short. Put oven through an additional cycle.
Check for temporary loss of power. Reset the controls and put the oven through another
self-clean cycle.
These are normal; they are caused by the oven door lock mechanism.
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 dolly 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.
