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 is turned 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.
Protective LinersDo not use aluminum foil to line 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.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS
Do Not Cook on Broken CooktopIf cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean Cooktop 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

Setting Surface Controls
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the surface of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the units are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas surrounding the surface units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to glass or difficulty in cleaning will result.
Radiant Surface Units
The Radiant Surface Unit is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic fixture below the glass cooktop. The unit temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the unit will cycle on and off. The heating unit retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. The amount of residual heat depends on the type and quality of cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat setting.

Indicator Light(s)

Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within the same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for operating the different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The larger unit or both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage and can be used to prepare larger quantities of food in larger pans. When using the outer coil, both inner and outer coils operate.
There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your rangea surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator.
The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any surface unit is turned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot cooktop surface indicator, located under the glass cooktop or on the control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.

Setting Surface Controls
The control knobs shown below are representational. The knobs on your range may not look exactly like those shown.
To Operate Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired setting. 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 mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit.
3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The hot cooktop surface light will continue to glow after the control knob is turned to off and will glow until the element has cooled sufficiently.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (7-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
Radiant Surface Unit Control
MEDIUM (4-6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam
vegetables
MEDIUM LOW (2-3) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
SIMMER (1-SIM) Keep warm, melt, simmer
Note: 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.
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. Indicates inner coil only.
Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either
coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn the Dual Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired setting as instructed above.
NOTE: 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 glasstop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too small for the element or if the pan bottom is not flat.
After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to touch either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will turn dark in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if the units are touched at this time.
Dual Radiant Surface Unit Controls
Do not place plastic items such as 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 unit.

Oven Cleaning

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 well­ventilated room.
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.
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).
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 whisk 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 self­cleaning 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 the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire:
1. Push CANCEL.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR and the word "LOCKED" shown in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened.
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.

Oven Cleaning
(continued)
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
To Set the Controls for the Self-Cleaning Cycle To Start Immediately and Shut Off Automatically:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Push . "CLN TIME" will appear in the display.
3. Push and hold or until "3 HR:00" appears in the display.
Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you havelight, medium
or heavy. *See above.
4. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close
automatically and the "LOCKED" indicator light will be displayed. (It takes
about 15 seconds for the lock to close.)
5. The "Clean" light will come on. The "Oven" light will come on and cycle with
the oven burner units.
Note: If the self-cleaning cycle is cancelled while at a high temperature, make sure the word "LOCKED" is not in the display and the oven has cooled down for at least 1 HOUR before trying to open the oven door.
To Set the Controls for the Self-Cleaning Cycle To Start at a Delayed Time and Shut off Automatically:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Push . "CLN TIME" will appear in the display.
3. Push and hold or until "3 HR:00" appears in the display.
Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you havelight, medium

or heavy. *See above.
4. Push STOP TIME. The time of day that the self-cleaning cycle ends
will appear in the display. The words "CLN STOP TIME" will glow in the
display.
5. Push and hold or until the time of day that you want the
cleaning to be completed appears in the display.
6. The control will calculate backward from the set stop time to determine
when the self-cleaning cycle should begin. The words "DELAY" and "CLN
STOP TIME" will glow in the display.
7. The self-cleaning cycle will come on automatically at the calculated time.
At that time, the word "DELAY" will go out and "ON" will appear.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed
1. The time of day will appear in the display window and the word "LOCKED" may remain in the display.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR and the word "LOCKED" shown in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened.

Aluminum (Trim Pieces) & Vinyl
Glass, Painted and Plastic Control Knobs, Body Parts, and Decorative Trim
Stainless Steel, Chrome Control Panel, Decorative Trim
How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
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 to 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 the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Cleaners made especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic American Corp., or similar products are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

General Cleaning
DO NOT use a cooktop
cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic­glass surface.
Before cleaning the
cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic-glass cooktop. If food spills, grease spatters and metal rub-off from aluminum cookware are not removed, they may be burned onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Daily Cleaning
For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe up spills and spatters using a clean paper towel. Always use a new, clean paper towel when cleaning the ceramic-glass cooktop.
3. Rub a few drops of a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream onto soiled area using a clean, damp paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating of silicone which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions. Clean surface with the cooktop cleaning cream after each use.
4. Rinse with another clean damp, paper towel. Buff dry with a dry paper towel.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Carefully scrape soil with a metal razor blade scraper. Hold razor blade scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop.
3. Remove loosened soil with a clean paper towel.
4. Apply cooktop cleaning cream as described for normal soil.
5. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. After all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cooktop cleaning cream.
For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop.
3. Allow the cooktop to cool.
4. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.
DO NOT use the following on the ceramic-glass cooktop: Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads. They may scratch the
cooktop and make it more difficult to clean later.
Sponges, cloths or dish towels. Lint or soil remaining on the cooktop from
a cloth or sponge can burn and cause discoloration.
Anything that may melt (plastics, aluminum foil). Cleansers other than a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning
cream.
Chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid, chemical oven cleaners or
any other kind of chemical cleaner. They may etch or discolor the cooktop.

Avoid Service Checklist

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among its many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop operation, beeping and flashing an error code of F1 or F3* in the display window.
OCCURRENCE
Range is not level.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.
*Oven control beeps and displays F1 or F3.
Surface unit too hot or not hot enough.
Surface unit does not heat.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level.
Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push CANCEL to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number, push CANCEL and contact an authorized servicer.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.
Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
Entire appliance does not operate.
Cooktop and/or oven light (some models) does not work.
No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this Avoid Service Checklist.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls.
Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between the meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Poor baking results.
Self-cleaning cycle does not work.
Soil not completely removed after self­cleaning cycle.
Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Oven Temperature in this Owner's Guide.
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Oven Cleaning.
Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self­Cleaning Cycle" under Oven Cleaning.
Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Oven Cleaning section.
Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.
