IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 Units--To reduce the risk of bums,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it isturned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

• Never Leave Surface Units 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.

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place--Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or

components underneath to damage.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls, reflector pans, or oven bottom, or any other part of

the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer-- 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. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven isoperating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. 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.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used foran extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours

before turning on the power to the appliance

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RAN G E

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath

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

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Owner's Guide. 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

Oven Cleaning

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 line the oven

walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

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.

HAND

CLEAN FRAME

Self-Cleaning Oven

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after the self-clean cycle.

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven 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 any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.

2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity 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 cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

5. 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.

CLEAN FRAME

Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).

To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in water.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. 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 the gasket.

Surface Elements and Drip Bowls

Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth--any remaining soil will burn off the next time

the element is used.

Never immerse a surface element in water.

To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls

1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface element and drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop.

2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end out from the terminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip from the drip bowl.

To Clean Drip Bowls Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm. Hard to remove, burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will

scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

When lowering the lift-

up range top, grasp the sides with finger-tips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the range top when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.

To Replace Drip Bowls and Surface Elements

1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.

2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite the terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip, and snap into place.

3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with the terminal plug as shown.

4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level as possible and firmly push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.

To Raise the Top for Cleaning

1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in its raised position. Only lift the top high enough to allow the support rods to snap into place.

2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.

3. To lower the top, gently push back on each rod to release the notched support. Hold the range top and slide the range top down into the range

frame.

To Remove and Replace Warmer Drawer (if equipped)

To Remove Warmer Drawer:

1. _ Turn power off before removing the warmer drawer.

2. Open the drawer to the fully opened position.

3. On the right glide you will find a shield attached with a hex-head screw (see figure 1). Using a 1/4" socket and ratchet remove the shield.

4. Locate glide lever on each side of drawer, pull up on the left glide lever and push down on the right glide lever.

5. Pull the drawer away from the range.

To Replace Warmer Drawer:

1. Replace shield on the right glide of the drawer body.

2. Pull the bearing glides to the front of the chassis glide (see figure 2).

3. Align the glide on each side of the drawer with the glide slots on the range.

4. Push the drawer into the range until levers "click" (approximately 2"). Pull the drawer open again to seat bearing glides into position. If you do not hear the levers "click" or the bearing glides do not feel seated remove the drawer and repeat steps 2-4. This will minimize possible damage to the bearing glides.

Electrical Shock Hazard can occur and result in

serious injury or death. Disconnect appliance from electric power before cleaning and servicing the warmer drawer.

Changing Cooktop and/or Oven Lights
