= Do not touch surface heating units or surface

cooking elements, areas near these units or

ii

elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both

ii

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

ii

have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas

ii

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

• Wear proper apparel m loose=fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the

ii

appliance, Do not let clothing or other flammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

ii

= 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.

ii

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.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent

is located under the left rear surface element if your
model isequipped with coilelements. 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

fatand 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 off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FORCLEANING
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 deaners 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.

Followthe 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 cookingarea, 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 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 leavesurface elements unattended at high

heat settingsJBoilovers 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 cooktop 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.

Using proper cookware

Cookware material types

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact
with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness
by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See
Figure 1).

Fig. 1

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 Figure 2.

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.
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

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel

coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting

point of some cookware may be reached if left on the

cooktop empty and then can bond to the ceramic cooktop.
If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be sure

to follow all the cookware manufacturer's suggestions

ii

when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

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.

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 light and the Hot
Surface indicator lights (See Fig. 2).

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 isan 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.

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 is designed 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).

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the surface
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 Care &Cleaning and
Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care

Manual.

Single radiant surface elements (all models)

To operate the single radiant element:

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

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

Suggested radiant surface element settings

table Fig. 1). 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 spot. Use the graphics
provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed (See Fig. 2). Each surface element provides a
constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red
surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge

of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small
for the surface heating area.

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

Dual radiant surface elements (some models)
Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of

the dual radiant element to set. The o symbol indicates a
setting for the inner coilonly. 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.

.

Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise
(See Fig. 2) to begin heating both the inner and outer

portions of the dua! element. If only the inner heating
portion is needed for smaller cookware, push in and
turn the knob counter-clockwise (See Fig. 1).

.

When cooking is complete, 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

Keep warm (some models)
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 )laced 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:

.

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.

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
canning using a ceramic cooktop.

= 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 coiland ceramic glass
cooktops.

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

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 istouched before it has cooled sufficiently.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

ii

wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These

ii

items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to

the surface elements.

Do not allow alu minu m foil, orANY material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop,

If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the

ceramiccooktop.

• 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.

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.

Oven vent location

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

air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent, this is

normal. Do not block the oven vent.

Types of oven racks

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven
rack styles shown.

cooking isreached.

Speed Bake (on some models)
Benefits of speed bake convection cooking:
* Cooks more evenly.

* Multiple rack baking.
* No special pans or bakeware needed.

How speed bake works
Speed bake uses a convectionfan to circulate the oven's

heat uniformly and continuouslyaround the oven (See
Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution eliminates hot spots
and allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It
also gives better baking results when using two racks at the
same time. Most foods will bake faster and more evenly
with the speed bake feature.

For best baking results
* Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

biscuits and breads.

* Reduce oven temperature 25°F from your recipe's

recommended oven temperature and use the minimum
recommended cooktime.

* When using any single rack, position the rack so that the

food is in the center of the oven.

* For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,

place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 1).

* When baking using 2 oven racks, allow at least 2 inches

(5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air
circulation.

Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time
to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins.

speed bake switch located on the backguard to start
speed bake. The speed bake indicator light will glow
when speed bake is active.

To cancel speed bake, press the off key. The off key also
turns offthe oven. If more cooking time is required, pro-
gram a new bake cycle.

Roasting"
* Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods with the

speed bake feature.

* Since speed bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook time

by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe.

Then if necessary, increase the time until the desired
doneness isobtained.

The speed bake fan will take 6 minutes to begin

rotating after the Speed Bake switch has been turned
ON. This is normal.

If the oven door is opened when speed bake is active,

the fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

®

Speed bake will not operate when clean is active.

®

Cook time reductions may vary depending on the

amount and type of food being cooked.

Set the oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to

550°F (288°C). If speed bake is active and the oven

temperature lowers below 300°F (149°C), the

convection fan and indicator light will turn off but the
oven will continue to bake at the lower oven

temperature.

Setting broil

Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browing results.
When broiling always remember to arrange the oven

racks while oven is still cool. Position the rack as
suggested in the broil settings table (See Figs. 1& 4).

Cooktop maintenance

Cooktop cleaning

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to

maintaining your ceramic glasscooktop,

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of
the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new
applia nce. 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 cookto ) 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 DO NOT:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop,

• Usecookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.

• Useyour cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in

the kitchen.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFFand thecooktop is€OOL: ........................................................................................

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.

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 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.

:Ifsoils 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.

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.

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.

Cooktop cleaning (cont'd)

DO NOT use the following on the cooktop:

Aluminum foil and oven liners (cont'd)

Aluminum foil and the cooktop =Useof 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 ANYcircumstances.

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 interior oven light

'i

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

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

Surfaceelementdoes not heatcookware. - Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or

heavyweight quality cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans.

Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy &

medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly,

foods may burn easily.

Surface element seems too hot or not _ Incorrect control setting. Be sure the matching control is set for the surface
hotenough, element that you are attempting to use or adjust power level setting.

Problem Solution

Flames inside oven or smoking from - Excessive spillovers in oven, For example this will happen for pie

fatty edges to prevent curling.

Broil pan and insert (some models) wrong side up and grease not
draining. Always place insert on top of broil pan with ribs up & slots down
to allow excess grease to drip into broil pan.

Do not use aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will trap grease, expose grease
to high temperatures and increase smoking.

Grease has built up on interior oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is

necessary if broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause
excessive smoking.
