Important Safety Instructions
• Remove all tape and packaging before using the range, Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow childrento play with packaging material.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and
an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
= All ranges can tip. = Injuryto persons could result. = Install anti=tipdevice packed
with range.
= See Installation Instructions.
To reduce the risk of tipping, the
range must be secured by properely installed anti-tip bracket provided with
the range. To check if the bracket is
installed properly, visually checkthat rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully secured by the anti-tip bracket by removing lower front panel or storage drawer from the range.
For models equipped with a warmer drawer or lower oven, grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward. Refer to the installation instructions for proper anti- tip bracket installation.
=Never modify or alter the construction of a range
by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti=tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the
range.
= Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
= Proper installation--Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded bya qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical
Code ANSI/N FPA No. 70 latest edition and local electrical code requirements. Install only per
installation instructions provided in the literature package for this range.
• 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. This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT
allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Do not use the oven, warmer drawer or lower oven (if equipped) for storage.
3
= Storage in or on appliance--flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units or in the storage drawer, This includes paper, plastic and cloth items,
such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE--children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,
warmer drawer or lower double oven.
= Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
= 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 dry potholders =moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
= Do not heat unopened food containers = buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--Sta nd to the
side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
= Do not touch surface heating units or surface
ii
cooking elements, areas near these units or elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns.
ii
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
ii
other flammable materials touch these areas until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and oven door window.
ii
ii
• Wear proper apparel=loose=fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not attempt to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn offthe
range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent
is located under the left rear surface element if your model isequipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use &Care Manual. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given offduring the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
IivIPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire, Pay particular attention
to the area around each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosolsmAIways follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
= Clean ventilating hoods frequently=Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods.
FOR CERAMIC=GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
• Do not cook on broken cook top--If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cook top with caution--If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Use proper pan size--This appliance isequipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surfaceelements--To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Do not immerse or soak removable heating
elements_Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
the fan on.

Removingr replacing & arranging racks To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out. To replace - fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls.
Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
Always use oven mitts when using the oven. When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Types of oven racks
offset
oven rack
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs. The half rack (some models) design comes with a removable section that allows for taller cooking utensils. The offset
oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than normal. This rack design provides several additional possible
positions between the standard positions. To maximize
oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack (some
models) in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting
large cuts of meat. The Effortless TM Oven Rack (some
models) is described later in this section, To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven
rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking
and when roasting large cuts of meat.
Only the Effortless TM Oven Rack should be used in

Effortless TM Oven Rack system Some models are equipped with aspecial oven rack system that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food
items. This feature works whenever the oven door is opened or closed.
To assem ble the Effortless'" Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied oven rack (Effortless T" Oven Rack is a flat rack with a special dark coating on the left and right rack sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven iscompletely coolbefore proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack connector brackets are at the rear of the range and pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of
the connector arm to the hole in the door connector bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the
rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack position to match the length of the connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing
the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.
Only the Effortless T"Oven Rack system should be
used in oven rack position 2. PLacingANY other rack
in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door from fully closing and may damage the oven door, oven cavity or the door connector brackets.
If the rack system is not assembled with the connector arms the Effortless T" Oven rack may be used in oven rack
positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt to use the Effortless _" Oven rack in rack position 1.

REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and accessories before
starting a self=clean cycle. If the oven racks are left
in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide ability of the Effortless _" Oven Rack system will be damaged and will cause oven racks to loose their shiny finish and or turn blue. Remove ALL oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of
this manual.
Make sure the oven and oven racks are COMPLETLY cool and safe to touch before attempting to assemble or disassemble the Effortless _" Oven Rack system. Never
pick up hot oven rack parts.

Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1). For best results when using a single oven flat rack, place cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2).
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
About the ceramic glass cooktop The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
About the radiant surface elements The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON and OFF.The
heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
Forefficient cooking, turn OFFthe element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
The single radiant elements will have one round outline
pattern shown (See Fig. 3). The keep warm zone is designed to keep food warm only.
The space wise bridge feature allows the user to set the
left front cooking element along with the left middle and if desired the left rear single elements into one combined cooking zone called the space wise bridge element (See Fig. 3). The left front and left rear elements may also be used as single independent heating elements whenever
needed.
space wise (bridge)
cooking zone
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,
Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will
not glow red when it is hot.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even atthe HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the
HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

Power plus feature (some models)
Your appliance may be equipped with one or two elements
on the ceramic cooktop marked power plus.
power ptus
The power plus radiant element has a higher power level
capability and is best used when bringing larger quantities of liquid to temperature or when preparing larger quantities
of food.
Cookware material types The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 3). For more information about the ceramic cooktop see"Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance" in the Care &Cleaning section.
Porcelain=enamel on metal =Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Cooktop element power level display windows
The cooktop element power level display features provide a digital display for each of the heating positions located on the cooktop. Power levels are easily controlled and monitored using the window displays in combination with the corresponding control touch pads.
The Triple radiant heating element (some models) has 3 cooking sizes to select from. This feature allows you to
match the size of the element to the size of the cookware you are using.
Fig. 2
Available power level settings
The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig. 6) and OFF (Fig. 7).
The settings between 9.5 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between
2.8 (Figs. 4) and 1.2 (Fig. 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo (Fig. 6) for more precise settings at lower heat levels.
Use the "Suggested power level settings table" provided later in this section to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.
Hot surface window message (HE) After using any radiant element the cooktop will be very
hot. After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time. The corresponding lie (hot element-Fig. 8) message will remain ON and turn OFF once that element position on the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 7).
Lockout window message ( ==) The (- -) message will appear whenever the lockout
feature isactive (See Fig. 9). Refer to the lockout instructions for complete lockout instructions.

Sabbath Day feature (Sb) message The display windows wil! show the Sb message whenever
the Sabbath Day feature is active (Fig. 10). When activated, the Sabbath Day feature works for both the oven and cooktop together.
Once the Sabbath Day feature isactive, changes to the heat levels for the cooktop elements will not show in the displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level changes. See "Setting the Sabbath Day feature" for complete instructions.
When setting the size for all 3 bridge elements to heat
together, both the display windows for the left front and
left rear elements will display the set power level & hot element message (for models with a bridge surface element feature only).
Single radiant surface elements
The cooktop has several single radiant surface elements. 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 cookwa re indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then set to a lower setting to finish cooking.The suggested power level settings found in Fig.1 are based when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
To operate a single radiant surface element:
Step Press
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Press and hold the on=off on-off for the desired element position
until a beep is heard.
3. Press Io, reed (5.0) or hi. v ' reed
