authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the electrical

power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an
emergency.

• 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.

• Wear Proper Apparel -- Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• User Servicing -- Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals.

All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician
to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by remov-

ing panels, wire covers or any other part of the product.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or

drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and may also
cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb or play
around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause

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.

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 pres-
sure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

temperatures. When you use your range 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 temperature above 0°C/32°F for at

least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS (continued)

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controms 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 suit-
able for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions 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 clamp 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 recom-
mended 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<leaning 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.

• 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.

kitchen counters. Make sure there is at least 1.3 cm (1/2 ") of clearance between
each side of the range and the kitchen counters. Allow 7.6 cm (3") rain. clearance

between your range and the refrigerator, if they are side by side.

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).

30" Models 24" Models

LOCKING THE FRONT ROLLERS

(some of the 30" models only)

To level the range:

1. Usea 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. Usethe 1-I/4" key or wrench to adjust the leveling legs.Turn each one until the range stands
firm without wobbling.

5. Some models aresupported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving.

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 isnot flat or level or if this model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4 leveling
legsto level, support and prevent the range from moving.

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 isopened,
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 SUREOVEN IS COOL.

I. 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. Forself-cleaning oven, presswire holder to one side to releaseglass shield, change bulb and be sure to replace glass shield.

4. To replace the tube, engage the new tube into the sockets, then rotate and snap
the tube in place light to make it sure it will lit

24" Models

Circuit Protection

As a protection against surcharge, a I 5 amp, 120 volt fuse isprovided for each of the electric outlet(s) (2 max.) located on top of
the control panel. To accessthe fuse(s) raisethe 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 isturned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the
individual heating unit isturned on. If the knob issetto avery 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 isfinished, a glance at the indicator lights isaneasycheck to be sure all the control knobs have beenturned to OFF.

Models with Touch Pad Control (on y)

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.

Specialty Pans & Trivets

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop areavailable in

most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a sup-
port ring that does not extend be-

yond the heating element) may also

be used. The metal ring was de-
signed to support the wok safely
when it is filled with large amounts
of liquids (soup making) or fat (fry-

ing).

DO NOT use two

elements (if the cooktop isnot
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 usewire triv-
ets. Cookware bottoms must be in
direct contact with the surface ele-

ments.

DO NOT use a wok if it isequipped with
a metal ring that extends beyond the
surface element. Becausethis 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 & infor=
mation

Canning can generate

large amounts of steam. Use extreme
caution to prevent burns. Always raise
the lid to vent steam away from you.

I. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local

Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glassjars 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 aspossibleto maintain a

constant boil.

5. It isbest to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop:

I. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch

beyond the edae 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. Tryto avoid canning on the same element all

day.

Safecanning 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.

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils

For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:

Pansshould haveflat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface

element. Check for flatness by rotating a
ruler acrossthe bottom. There should be

no gaps between the pan and ruler.

Note: Always use a utensil for its in-
tended purpose. Follow manufacturer's

instructions. Some utensilswere not
made to be used inthe oven or on the

cooktop.

DO NOT use the surface element in seJf-dean 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 istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. Thetype and
size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the surface units arefactors that will affect the amount of
heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areassurrounding 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.
Panswith 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 usethe
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
OFFposition, 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 hasa dual set of graduations; for
small utensils use the small graduations; the inner surface only will be heating. Forlarger utensils

use the larger graduations; the whole surface will be heating.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface ele-

ments 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 (seefigure I).

Heat istransferred up through the surface of
the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bot-
tom cookware should be used. The type and

size of cookware, the number of surface ele-

ments 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 be-

come hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Ele-

ments

The element temperature rises gradually and

evenly. As the temperature rises,the element
will glow red. To maintain the selected set-

ting, the element will cycle on and off. The

heating element retains enough heat to pro-
vide a uniform and consistant heat during the

off cycle. Forefficient cooking, turn off the el-

ement 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 appliance is equipped with radiant sur-
face elements with differents wattage ratings.
The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increasesas the element wattage in-

creases.

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 dif-
ferent. 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 ra-

diant element position.

Surface Cooking (continued)

Ceramic Glass Cooktop (somemodels)(continued)

Models with Electronic Surface Element Controls (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature includes 4 digital
display windows. The ESECfeature 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 set-
tings are displayed in digital windows (figures 1 thru 4).

The available ESEC Display Settings

The ESECcontrol provides various heat levelsfrom Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig.

4) and OFF (Fig. I). The settings from Hi to 3,0 decrease in increments of
.B. 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

Checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that al-
lows 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 set-
ting isnormal and can occur if the cookware is

too small for the radiant element or if the cook-
ware bottom is not flat (Refer to Surface Cook-

ing Utensils section on page 9 for using correct
cookware instructions with the cooktop).

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 OFFposition (seefigure 6). This will reset the surface
controls.

Be sure to reset the clock. Once the surface controls have been set to the OFFpositions and the
clock has been set with the correct time of day,the surface controls should return to normal op-
eration. If the surface controls do not function and the "Er" message remains in any display after

following these produces, contact an authorized Electrolux servicer.

Operating the ESEC Bridge Surface Radiant Element (some models)

The cooktop isequipped with a "Bridge" surface element located at the left front and middle posi-
tions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cook-

ware. 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 ele-
ment 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:

I. Placecorrectly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

2. Pushin 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. Usethe ESECdigital 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 fin-
ish 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 cook-

ware istoo small. Pleasenote that not all cookware will fit the Bridge element correctly.

3. When cooking hascompleted, turn the surface control knob to OFFbefore removing the cook-

ware. Note: The HE messagewill appear after turning the control knob to OFFif the cooktop is

still hot and will remain on until heating surface area 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 isto 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 useon the warm zone.

Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it ishot. Always use potholders or oven mitts

when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.

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.

If using multiple pans, stagger asshown.

If using one pan, place in center of oven.

16

Convection

LOOKing (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 sealsthe food surface retaining the natural juices and flavour. This method of cooking enables
you to obtain the best culinary resultswhen baking, thawing, dehydrating and roasting foods.

Convection notes:

1. Most recipes can be made with temperatures set at 13°C (25%) 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 ismore convenient with better results.

3. Defrosting isquicker in convection mode when compared to regular radiant cooking.

4. Remember to usetested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking/roasting when using the convection mode. Times
may be reduced by asmuch as 30% when using the convection feature.

Convection

Roasting (somemode s)

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.

.

2.

Placeoven rack on bottom or next-bottom rack position.
Placethe 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 issecurely 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 Bake TMCooking System (somemodels)

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 givesbetter 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 arejuicer. Poultry iscrispon the outside while staying tender and

moist on the inside. Breadsand pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven

can be cooked faster and more evenly with Speed Bake TM Cooking System.

Benefits of Speed Bake TM 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 aloneness is obtained. Time

reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food.

2. Preheating is not necessarywhen 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 Bake TM Cooking System:

I. Program the oven asyou 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 isclosed 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 isset. The oven elements will not begin to operate until the Delayed Start

Time is reached. This operation isnormal.

4. Tocancel Speed Bake function, push CANCEL on the oven control asyou would to cancelany baking
function.

Broiling

Broiling isa method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.

Open door

to the "Broil Stop"

position when broiling.

1

Preheating
Preheating issuggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating.
Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) Topreheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILas instructed
in the Owner's Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes.
Preheating is not necessarywhen broiling meats well-done.

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Seasonand serve.

Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Always pull oven rack out
to the "stop" position be-
fore 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 aloneness preferred. The first
side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require additional

time.

Broiling Tips

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

the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Grid

Broiler Pan

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 isextremely 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

I) Aluminum foil

Useof 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 causemetal 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 useyour
cooktop asa 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, they may cause it to crack.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop Cleaning instructions.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop Cleaning

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel
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
Fornormal 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:
I. 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 yourcooktop surface. Therefore you must
begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop isstill hot. Use caution when following

the steps below.

I. 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/POLISHINGCREAM can be purchased through authorized
servicecenters or major department stores.

Cleaningthe RegularOven (Non self-cleanoven)

Make sure the oven iscool and that all control knobs are at OFF position. Cleaning the oven is
a lot easier when the door is removed.

I. Removethe 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 awet cloth and wipe with a dry cloth.

Toremove 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:

• AIIowthe 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 iscool.

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 usealuminum 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 ashyou 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. Toclean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Largespillovers can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with
a high sugar or acid content (such astomatoes, 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 (seeillustration). These areas
heat sufficiently during a self-clean cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap and

waten

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 colour will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and the oven
has cooled, rub the sides of the rackswith wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide easier.

do not usethe surface element during a self-clean cycle.

What to Expect During Cleaning

While the oven is in operation, the oven heatsto temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal

expansion and contraction are normal. Odor isalso normal asthe food soil isbeing 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.

PROBLEM POSSIBLECAUSE/SOLUTION

INSTALLATION

Range is not level. 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 isnot 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. Besure cabinets are
square and have sufficient room for range clearance (1.3 cm (1/2") each side).

PROBLEM POSSIBLECAUSE/SOLUTiON

POOR BAKING RESULTS

Baked foods too done or not
done enough.

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.

Baked foods not evenl_ browned
and/or raised.

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. Useflat bottom pans.
Warped pans may cause uneven baking.

If bottom of foods burns, raisethe rack. Iftop of foods istoo brown, lower the rack.

Baking time too long. 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 airaround the pans.A cookie sheet or sheet pan should
not cover the entire oven rack. Allow at least S.1cm (2 in.) of spacefor air circulation on all
sides of baking pan(s) and between pans and sides of the oven. When two racksare used,
stagger pans so one is not directly above the other.

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.

Oven steaming. Moist foods may cause oven steaming. Cover the dish if appropriate for the food being

cooked.

Fan noise during cooking opera-
tion.

A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. It isnormal, and the
fan may continue to run even after oven isturned off.

BROILING

Oven smokes excessively during
broiling.

Open the door to the broil stop position.

Add 3 to 4 cups of water inthe broiler pan to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Position
food on grid and broil. The water catches the greasefrom the broiling food, cools the grease
and reduces smoking.

Meat too close to the element. Lower the rack.

Remove excessfat from the meat. Slashremaining fat edges to prevent curling; do not cut
into lean.

Always place the grid on the broiler pan with the slotsdown 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 excessivesmoking.

These are normal; they are caused by the oven door lock mechanism.There's some strange noise at the

beginning of the self-clean cycle.

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 racksand other utensils from the oven, and from the lower drawer.

3. Useadhesive tape to firmly secure the door and the drawer to the side panels. Also attach the electric power cord in the same
manner.

4. Usea 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.
