IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Storage in or on appliance—ammable

materials 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 ammable 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 touch surface heating units or surface
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. During and after use, do not touch, or

let clothing or other ammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufcient 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.

• Wear proper apparel—loose-tting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other ammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

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.

• Do not use water or our on grease res—
smother the re 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 re 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)—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.

• 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 re.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch re. 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 lter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning hoods.

COIL COOK TOP MODELS

• Make Sure Reector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in

Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking
may subject wiring or components underneath to
damage.

• Carefully check the reector pans, drip bowls, and
coils for packaging material. Remove all packaging

material before using the cooktop.

• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If an

element is accidentally turned on, the decorative
cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will

occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the cooktop.

• Do not allow grease to accumulate around

surface burners and drip bowls.

CAUTION

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to

line surface unit drip bowls, or reector pans. Only

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

of electric shock, or re.

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 at 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 efciency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce

the risk of burns, ignition of ammable 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 aming 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.

become very hot which can cause burns.

at

oven rack

offset
oven rack

The at oven rack or at handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible locations between the standard positions.

Fig. 2

Recommended rack positions by food type

Food type Position

Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits & mufns 2 or 3

Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread
and casseroles 1 or 2
Small cuts of meat or poultry 1 or 2
Turkey, roast or ham 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.

6

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will inuence the

setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2.

Cookware should have at bottoms that make good

contact with the entire surface heating element . Check

for atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the

cookware (See Fig. 1).

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

• Curved and warped pan

• Flat bottom and straight

sides.

• Tight tting lids.

• Weight of handle does not

tilt cookware. Cookware is
well balanced.

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

• Made of material that
conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match cookware

bottom to element diameter.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cookware 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).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily
(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.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Element on indicator lights

Your range is equipped with one or more element on
indicator lights located on the control panel just above
the surface control knobs (See Fig. 1). The element on
indicator light 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.

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 at 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 at 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 coil and ceramic glass
cooktops.

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

• Use the highest heat seating when rst bringing the

water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2

different surface cooking elements at the same time.
This can cause uneven heating results. This can also
cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture (for Ceramic
cooktop models only).

Fig. 1

Operating surface elements

• Surface elements may appear to have cooled after

they have been turned off. The element surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the element

or the area surrounding the element is touched

before it has cooled sufciently.

• Do not place ammable 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 re if placed too close

to the surface elements.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface drip bowls, or reector pans. Improper

installation of these liners may result in risk of

electric shock, or re. Only use aluminum foil as

recommended in this manual.

To operate surface elements:

1. Place correctly sized cooking utensil on surface
element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting. Start most surface
cooking on a higher setting and then turn to a lower

setting to nish. 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 (Fig. 1). Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting.
For more information see the Suggested surface
element settings table (Fig. 2).

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

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difcult
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 rmly and pull straight off the shaft. To
replace knobs after cleaning, line up the at sides of both the knob and the shaft;

then push the knob into place.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF and if needed remove
any knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure
to squeeze excess water from the dishcloth before wiping the 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.

and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or
chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are
especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to wipe the clean­ers off from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be
removed.

Gentle scouring with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots.
Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover

difcult 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-lled non-abrasive

scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with a

high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to

remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

The oven interior is porcelain coated and is safe to clean using oven cleaners
following manufacturer’s instructions. After cleaning, remove any oven cleaner or
the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. Do not spray oven
cleaner on any electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven cleaner
to build up on the oven temperature sensing bulb. Do not spray cleaner on oven
door trim, door gasket, plastic drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of
the range.

Clean any soils from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket
and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy
water. Rinse using clean water and a cloth.

• Oven racks Remove oven racks from oven before cleaning. Clean by using a mild, abrasive
cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

• Oven door 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.

• Surface elements and drip

bowls

Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Surface elements and drip

bowls” in the Care & Cleaning section.

14

Surface elements and drip bowls

• Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of

these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.

• Never immerse a surface element in water.

• Be sure the range is cool before removing surface

elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal
ends when replacing surface elements after cleaning.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to

line surface drip bowls, or reector pans. Only use

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

of electric shock, or re.

Surface elements may 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.

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 terminal plug.
DO NOT remove hold down clip (if equipped) from
the drip bowl.

CARE & CLEANING

Cleaning 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, they will scratch the surface. Always
rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

To replace drip bowls and surface elements

1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the
opening in the drip bowl (See Fig. 1).

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 rmly 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.

• When lowering the lift-up range cooktop, grasp the
sides with nger-tips only. Be careful not to pinch
ngers. DO NOT drop or bend the range cooktop

when raising or lowering. This could damage the
cooktop surface.

rods will support the top in a raised position. Only lift the
top far 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
lift rods down into the range frame.

CARE & CLEANING

Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop

• Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot
cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin
aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to
touch the surface elements 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, the utensil may be damaged or
destroyed.

Cleaning under lower element (some models)

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 sufciently.

For models that have a visible lower bake element
ONLY - This bake element was designed to be tilted up

using your hand from the front of the bake element for
cleaning purposes. Remove the bottom oven rack before
raising the element. Do not to raise the element more
than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

Replacing the oven light

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 bulb is located at the upper left rear
of the oven cavity.

To replace the oven light bulb

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

2. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

3. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug
the appliance back in).

4. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see
“Setting the clock” in this Use & Care Guide.

BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems

Problem Solution

Poor baking results. • Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven 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” section in this Use & Care Guide.

Appliance is not level. • Be sure oor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support

range.

• If oor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the

oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.

• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure
cabinets are square & have sufcient room for appliance clearance.

• Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.

• Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or

authorized service agent.

• Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local

electric company for service.

Oven portion of appliance does not operate. • Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking

feature. See Setting Oven Controls in this manual or read the
instructions “Entire appliance does not operate” in this checklist.

Oven light does not work. • Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see “Replacing the oven light”

section.

Solutions to common problems • BEFORE YOU CALL

Problem Solution

Oven smokes excessively during broiling. • Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.

• Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.

• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the oven rack to provide

proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the 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.

• Broiler pan and insert wrong side up and grease not draining. Always

place insert on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease
to drip into pan (some models).

• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when

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

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven
vent.

Oven control panel beeps & displays any
F code error (for example F30).

Drip bowls are pitting or rusting (coil
cooktop models only).

Drip bowls are turning color or distorted
(coil cooktop models only).

• Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie

spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up

excessive spillovers before starting oven. If ames or excessive smoke

are present see “Broiling” in the Setting Oven Controls section.

• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press clear off to
clear the display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If
the F code error repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes
and then repower appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the
bake or broil feature again. If the fault recurs, record fault and call for
service.

• Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will

cause corrosion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a
spill over.

• Normal environment. Houses located along sea coasts are exposed to salt

air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

• Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface element and touches

cooktop surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the
drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched
to the size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from
your appliance dealer.
