To check if the anti-tip bracket is installed properly, use both arms and grasp the rear edge of range back. Carefully attempt to tilt range forward. When properly installed, the range should not tilt forward.

Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation instructions supplied with your range for proper installation.

WARNING

• Proper installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 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.

• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE — to avoid injuries

or burns children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the range is in use.

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, lower oven or warmer drawer.

• To avoid a possible fire hazard, never use your

appliance for warming or heating the room.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• Storage in or on appliance — to avoid a fire hazard, flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the storage drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven. 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.

• 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.

CAUTION

• 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 touch surface heating units or surface

cooking elements, areas near these units or elements, or interior surfaces of 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. 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 oven door 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.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires — flour

may be explosive. 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

Do not attempt to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the

range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

• Be sure to always have an appropriate foam-type fire extinguisher available, visible and easily accessible

located near the appliance.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip bracket/screws, or any other part of the range.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven

door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the

side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

WARNING

• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self-cleaning

the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

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

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

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention

to the area around each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.

Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease should not be 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 cook top should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on,

and turn the unit off before removing the pan.

• Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce

the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do not immerse or soak removable heating elements—Heating elements should never be immersed

in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

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

Important Safety Notice

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

• 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.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is heating,

warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven which helps to provide good baking results. Do not block the oven

vent.

Oven racks

CAUTION

Always use oven mitts to protect hands from possible burns when using the oven or cooktop. The oven, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot.

Oven rack stopOven vent location

Most oven racks slide on rack guides provided along the oven cavity sides. The rack guides are curved near the front of each guide. The curve will catch and hold the oven rack stable into a stop position when an oven rack is extended straight out from the oven.

For better access to food items in the oven, slowly pull the oven rack straight out to the oven rack stop position (Fig.

3) before checking on food items or removing food dishes from the oven.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Types of oven racks

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the following oven rack types listed below:

The flat oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most rack positions.

The flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs. May be placed in most rack positions. Similar to the flat oven rack but comes with a built-in handle.

offset

oven rack

(some

models)

bottom oven rack

(somemodels)

The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions.

The half rack (some models) has a removable section to allow for taller cooking utensils in the oven. When the removable section is in place, the rack may be used like the flat oven rack.

The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) instructions are provided later in this section.

The bottom oven rack (if equipped) should only be used in the lowest oven rack position. To maximize oven space, place cookware on the bottom oven rack for example when roasting large cuts of meat. Do not use the bottom oven

rack in any other oven rack position.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2 to 4 inches (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. For even heating, hot air must be able to circulate freely around the pans and cookware (See Fig. 1).

Effortless™ Oven Rack

(some models)

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack in positions 2 & 5. For best results when using a single or an offset oven rack, place cookware on rack in position 2, 3 or 4.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Effortless™ Oven Rack system

Some models are equipped with a special 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 assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:

1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied oven rack (Effortless™ 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 is completely cool before 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.

IMPORTANT

• Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should be used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY 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™ Oven rack may be used in oven rack positions 2 thru 7. Do not attempt to use the Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

About the ceramic glass cooktop

The design pattern on the ceramic cooktop outlines the area and size of the surface element located just below the ceramic glass cooktop. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and use only quality flat-bottomed cookware.

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

When first turned on, the element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected power setting it is normal for the element to cycle ON and OFF. The element will retain enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn the surface element OFF several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Element on & hot surface indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the backguard — the element on indicator lights and the hot surface indicator light (See Fig. 1).

indicator

light

hot

surface

light

The element on indicator lights are located on the control panel above each radiant element control knob and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light located on the control panel will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will

remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

NOTES

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element

to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic 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.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop care in the Care & Cleaning and Before

You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Manual.

Types of cooktop elements

The patterns provided on the ceramic glass surface outlines the size, shape and type of element available at each position on the cooktop. The single radiant element will have a single round outline pattern.

The versatile dual radiant element (some models) will have a dual ring pattern marked on the cooktop. This element allows the user to set the smaller inner portion only or both the inner and outer portions may be set to heat together.

The keep warm zone (some models) should always be used to keep already cooked foods warm. This element is located at the center rear position (Fig. 2).

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface element (See Fig. 1). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Fig. 2). For additional information about the ceramic cooktop see "Cooktop Cleaning" and "Cooktop Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.

IMPORTANT

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting point of some cookware types may be reached if left empty on the cooktop while heating. If the cookware melts it could bond to and damage the cooktop! Be sure to follow all the cookware manufacturer’s suggestions when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Cookware material types for the cooktop

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).

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pan size matches the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.

• Always match cookware diameter to element

marking on cooktop.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Curved or warped

cookware.

• Cookware larger than cooking are marked on cooktop by more than onehalf inch or 12mm.

• Cookware smaller than cooking are marked on cooktop.

• Handle tilts cookware.

Fig. 1

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.

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.

Fig. 2

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Suggested surface element settings

The suggested settings found in Fig.1 below are based when surface cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Suggested power level settings for single or dual radiant elements

Settings Type of cooking

High (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a

boil, pan broiling

Medium high (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry

Medium (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces

and gravies or steam vegetables

Medium Low (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew

Low (LO - 1) Keep warm, melt, simmer

Fig. 1

CAUTION

• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass

surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the cooktop when hot. If these items melt on the cooktop they may

damage the ceramic cooktop.

Single radiant surface elements

Fig. 2

To operate a single radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on a single radiant surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (See the

suggested power level settings for single or dual radiant elements in Fig. 1).

3. When finished cooking, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

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.

NOTES

• 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.

• The element on indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Dual radiant surface elements (some models)

Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of the dual radiant element to set. The symbol indicates a setting for the inner coil only. The symbol indicates a setting for both inner and outer coils.

To operate a dual radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise (See Fig. 1) to begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the dual element. If only the inner heating portion is needed for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counter-clockwise (See Fig. 2).

3. When finished cooking, turn the dual radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

Heating with both

elements

Heating with inner

(small) element only

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.

You may switch from either single or dual element setting at any time while cooking. For power level recommendations see the suggested power level settings for single or dual radiant elements provided on the page for single element instructions.

CAUTION

• 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.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the cooktop when hot. If these items melt on the cooktop they may

damage the ceramic cooktop.

NOTES

• 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.

Keep warm zone (some models)

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.

Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality.

For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.

Do not use plastic wrap 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 keep warm zone.

Setting the keep warm zone control:

1. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired setting (See Fig 1). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by hi and lo. However, the control may be set at any position between hi and lo for different levels of warming.

2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The keep warm zone will remain hot until the indicator light turns OFF.

Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a

particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Home canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning using your appliance.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different

surface cooking areas at the same time. This may cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom. Be sure the cookware has no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning using a ceramic cooktop.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller

diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.

CAUTION

• 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.

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop.

If these items melt on the cooktop they can damage the ceramic cooktop.

• When using two canners at the same time, stagger the canners on the left and right sides of the cooktop. This will help distribute the heat generated more evenly.

Be sure to review the latest online information for home canning. Some suggestions might be the

Quick bake (some models)

Benefits of the quick bake feature

— Foods will cook faster, saving time and energy. — Multiple rack baking. — No special pans or bakeware needed.

How quick bake works

Quick bake 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 quick bake 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 quick bake.

Suggestions for quick bake

When baking

• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

• When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).

When roasting

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using quick bake.

• Since quick bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook

time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the air from circulating around the food.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Easy probe

For the best results when cooking many foods such as roasts, hams or poultry, use the easy probe feature. This feature also works well with foods such as meat loaf and casseroles.

The easy probe will provide you with the internal temperature of the food during cooking and eliminates any need for guesswork.

For some foods, especially poultry or roasts, checking the internal temperature is the best way to insure properly cooked food.

CAUTION

To avoid the possibility of burns after cooking, always use caution when disconnecting the probe from the receptacle or food. The probe may be hot. Be sure to use a pot holder to protect hands.

IMPORTANT

• Use only the probe originally provided with this appliance. Connecting any other probe or device to

the probe receptacle could result in damage to the oven control, electronics and the probe receptacle.

• To avoid damaging the probe, handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing from food or the probe receptacle. Do not use tongs to pull on the probe or probe cable. Always defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the probe into food.

• When removing the probe from the receptacle or food, always remove using the probe handles (Fig. 1).

• Remove the probe from the oven when finished. To avoid damaging the probe do not store the probe inside the oven.

• Always double check that the probe is removed from the oven interior before starting self-clean. The probe is not designed to withstand the high temperatures produced during a self-clean cycle.

• Do not use the probe without the probe properly inserted into the probe receptacle and the food. To protect the probe when inserted in the receptacle, the oven will automatically turn OFF if the probe temperature sensor reaches 300°F (149°C) or more.

NOTES

• Do not remove the probe from receptacle or food until

the desired internal temperature is reached. If the probe is removed from the receptacle the probe feature will automatically cancel but the oven will remain ON. If the probe is removed from the food only, the internal food temperature reading will no longer be accurate.

• The easy probe feature cannot be set when broil or self-clean is active. If the probe is inserted into the

receptacle and the broil or self-clean keypad is pressed, the oven control will sound a triple beep error message and the oven will not activate.

• If the probe is disconnected from the receptacle and the easy probe keypad is pressed, the display will show "- - -" (about 3 seconds), indicating the probe is not active.

Provided below are the minimum internal temperatures that foods must reach to be considered safe to eat, no matter how you prepare them.

• Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside the oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.

Self-clean

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself using high temperatures that are well above normal cooking temperatures. The clean feature, if used properly, will eliminate soils from the oven completely or reduce them to a fine powdered ash. Once the oven has cooled, simply wipe away the ash using

a damp cloth. The self-clean feature also provides optional cleaning

duration choices. A 3-hour cleaning time for normal cleaning or a 2-hour clean for lighter soils.

WARNING

• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

CAUTION

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.

SELF-CLEANING

IMPORTANT

Read before starting self-clean

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop, including food, cookware, utensils, plastic and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high

temperatures generated during a self-clean cycle.

• Remove all oven racks and any accessories from the oven to avoid possible heat damage. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor. The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) must be removed before starting self-clean to avoid damaging the glide ability of the rack.

• Be sure the oven vent area is clear.

• Remove all items from the lower storage drawer

(some models) or warming drawer (some models).

• Be sure the oven light shield is in place. Turn off the oven light.

• Remove any excessive spillovers. Spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large food spillovers can cause heavy smoke or a fire during self-clean.

• Remove any food spills from oven that have a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) before starting a self-clean cycle. If they are not removed they may leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.

• Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean using soap and water before starting self-clean. These areas (See Fig. 1) heat sufficiently to burn soil on.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners or protective coatings of any kind inside oven. Residue from oven cleaners may damage the porcelain during the next self-clean cycle.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then push knob into place.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate oven lockout (on some models) and if needed remove any knobs from panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping control panel; especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.

If your range finish is Easy Care™ Stainless Steel (some models), clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled no-scratch cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting self- clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For very important prepartion information be sure to read all the instructions in the self-clean section.

• Oven racks

• Oven door

Oven racks must be removed from oven. Do not clean oven racks in oven during the self-clean cycle. Remove and clean using a mild, abrasive

cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Thoroughly rinse and dry. Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door.

Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door.

Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-cleaning models the oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

See Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance in the Care & Cleaning section.• Ceramic cooktop

CARE & CLEANING

Cooktop maintenance

IMPORTANT

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for cooktops.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can leave metal markings on the 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 or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

To maintain the cooktop appearance :

• Never slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop

surface.

• DO NOT use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on

bottoms. Replace with clean flat bottom cookware before using on the cooktop.

Cooktop cleaning

WARNING

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

CAUTION

To avoid possible burns, be sure the surface controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is cool before cleaning

the cooktop.

For light to moderate soil- Apply a few drops of glass-

ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil- Apply a few drops of glassceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

• Never use the ceramic cooktop as a cutting board or

work surface in the kitchen.

• Never cook foods directly on the cooktop surface.

• DO NOT drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass

cooktop, this may cause it to crack.

30°

Removing plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

CARE & CLEANING

Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)

DO NOT use the following on the cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as

metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,

ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they

can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Aluminum foil and oven liners

WARNING

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.

Using a liner in the oven will restrict the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven, including the warmer drawer (some models).

Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to cover the oven bottom or any oven racks.

During self-clean the oven temperature can become hot enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum foil which could result in damage to the oven interior porcelain finish.

Aluminum foil and oven liners (cont’d)

Aluminum foil and the cooktop - Use of aluminum foil on

a hot cooktop can damage the ceramic glass. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

Aluminum utensils and the cooktop - Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the utensil be damaged or destroyed, and may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Replacing the oven light

CAUTION

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven interior back wall and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder.

The glass shield must always be in place to protect and shield the oven interior light whenever using the oven.

To replace the oven light:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2. While holding the glass shield in place, press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.
