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.
Page 5
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 GasketJThe 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.

Effortless TM 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 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 is completely 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'" 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 T" Oven rack may be used in oven rack
positions 2 thru 7. Do not attempt to use the Effortless T" Oven rack in rack position 1.

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).
Element ON & hot surface indicator lights
Your appliance isequipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the backguard -- the Element On indicator lig ht and the Hot Surface indicator lights (See Fig. 3).
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.
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
fiat=bottomed cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns,
About the radiant surface elements The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON and OFF.The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and 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.

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 cleaning in the General Care &Cleaning
and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Manual.
Page 10
Types of cooktop elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element available. The single radiant element will have one round outline pattern shown (keep warm zone isdesigned to keep food warm only). The dual radiant element is flexible because you may set just the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and outer portions can be set to heat together (See Fig. 1).

Cool{ware 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.

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 control
1. Push in either direction and turn the knob (See Fig 1). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by hi and Io. However, the control can be set at any position between hi and Io for different levels of warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The keep warm zone will remain warm until the indicator light
goes 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.

Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
"Cookware material types" in the Before setting
surface controls section).
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canningusing a ceramiccooktop.
= Hake sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed I inch beyond the surface element markings or burner, It is recommended to use smaller
diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.

Quick Bake (somemodels)
Benefits of the Quick Ba ke featu re I Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
I Multiple rack baking. I No special pans or bakeware needed.
How Quick Bake works Quick Bake uses afan 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,
Fig. 1
Setting Quick Bake
The oven can be programmed to Quick Bake at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).
Suggestions for Quick Bake
When baking
1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
2. Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum
recommended cooktime.
3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 2).
When roasting
1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
QuickBake.
2. 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.
3. Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the air from circulating around the food.

Adjusting the oven temperature
Operating the oven light
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you thinkthe oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the
control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed.
To adjust oven temperature:
1. Press bake.
2. Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing and holdingthe a
3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold bake until the 2
digit display appears. Release bake. The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset between the
original factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting. If the oven control has the original factory calibration, the display will read "0."
.
The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F (19°C), in 5°F increments by pressing and holding the
The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the oven door is opened.
Press O to turn the interior oven light ON and OFF
whenever the oven door is closed.
The interior oven light is located at the upper left rear wal! of the oven interior and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place
whenever the oven is in use.
To change the interior oven light, see "Changing the oven light" in the Care &Cleaning section.

appears in the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees.
5. When you have made the desired adjustment, press
cancel to go back to the time of day display.
Oven temperature adjustments made will not affect the broil or self-cleaning feature temperatures.
If the display is set for Celsius, adjustments made will be in l°C increments each press of the a or V keys.
DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to checkthe temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to
40 degrees from actual temperatures.
Page 23
Self=Cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). 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 any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and ANYALUHINUM FOIL. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
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.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
Corn pletely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed they will loose their special coating properties and no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity effortlessly.
Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at
the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and
water. These areas are shown in white (See Fig. 1).
Fig. i
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The elements may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.
(For models that do not have a hidden bake element ONLY)
The bake element was designed to be tilted up using your
hand from the front of the bake element. Remove the bottom rack before raising the element. Do not to raise the
element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

Cooktop maintenance
Cooktop cleaning
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramicglasscooktop,
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 cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
DO not:
- Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
o Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using. Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
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. Hake sure the cooktop iscleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil: Apply a few drops of glass=ceramic 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.
\
Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop,
they may cause it to crack.
Page 27
Cooktop cleaning (cont'd)
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.
U
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.
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.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic
glass cooktops.
Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop
Aluminum Foil - Useof aluminum foil on a hot cooktop will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum
is much lower than that of other metals. 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, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or
mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently
damaging the cooktop surface.
- 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.
Replacing the oven light
The light bulb is located atthe rear of the oven and is
covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.
2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.
3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.
S. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug
the range back in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and Minute Timer in this Use &
Care Guide.
Besure the range isunplugged and allparts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection
against possible broken glass.
