IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Storage in or on appliance — to avoid a fire
hazard, flammable materials should not be stored
in an oven, near surface units or in the storage
drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven. 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.
• 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.
CAUTION
• 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 surfaces of 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 flammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing
the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door and oven door
window.
• 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 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 foamtype 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
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.
• Be sure to always have an appropriate foam-type fire
extinguisher available, visible and easily accessible
located near the appliance.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a
range by removing the leveling legs, panels,
wire covers, anti-tip bracket/screws, or any
other part of the range.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if
it is to be stored or discarded.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
WARNING
• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.
• Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
• 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.
• 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 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 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 the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning hoods.
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
• Do not cook on broken cook top—If cook top should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
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 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 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.
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.
• 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.

CAUTION
Always use oven mitts to protect hands from possible
burns when using the oven or cooktop. The oven, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot.
Oven rack stopOven vent location
Most oven racks slide on rack guides provided along the
oven cavity sides. The rack guides are curved near the
front of each guide. The curve will catch and hold the
oven rack stable into a stop position when an oven rack is
extended straight out from the oven.
For better access to food items in the oven, slowly pull
the oven rack straight out to the oven rack stop position
(Fig. 3) before checking on food items or removing food
dishes from the oven.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Types of oven racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the
following oven rack types listed below:
The flat oven rack (some models) may be used for most
cooking needs and may be placed in most rack positions.
The flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used
for most cooking needs. May be placed in most rack
positions. Similar to the flat oven rack but comes with a
built-in handle.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design.
The offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2
of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be
used in most oven rack positions.
The half rack (some models) has a removable section to
allow for taller cooking utensils in the oven. When the
removable section is in place, the rack may be used like
the flat oven rack.
The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) instructions
are provided later in this section.

(somemodels)
The bottom oven rack (if equipped) should only be used
in the lowest oven rack position. To maximize oven space,
place cookware on the bottom oven rack for example
when roasting large cuts of meat. Do not use the bottom
oven rack in any other oven rack position.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2 to 4 inches (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. For even
heating, hot air must be able to circulate freely around the
pans and cookware (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack in positions 2 & 5. For best results
when using a single or an offset oven rack, place
cookware on rack in position 2, 3 or 4.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Effortless™ Oven Rack system (some models)
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 assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied
oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a
special dark coating on the left and right racksides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely
cool before proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only. 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 doorconnector 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.
IMPORTANT
• Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should
be used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY otherrack 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™ Oven rack may be
used in oven rack positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt
to use the Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.

About the ceramic glass cooktop
Located under the surface of the glass ceramic cooktop
are radiant surface elements. The design patterns on the
ceramic cooktop outlines the area and size of the surface
element. Be sure to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and use
only quality flat-bottomed cookware.
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.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

indicator
light
About the radiant surface elements
When activated, the element temperature rises gradually
and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will
glow red. To maintain the selected power setting the
element will cycle ON and OFF. The element will retain
enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat
during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn the surface element OFF
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Element on & hot surface indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on
the backguard — the element on indicator lights and the
hot surface indicator light (See Fig. 1).
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
NOTES
• 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 Care & Cleaning and
Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care
Manual.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Types of cooktop elements
Radiant surface elements are located just below the
surface of the glass cooktop. The patterns on the ceramic
glass outlines the size and type of element available at
each position on the cooktop. The single radiant element
will have a single round outline pattern shown.
The versatile dual radiant element will show with a dual
ring pattern on the cooktop. This element allows the user
to set the smaller inner portion as a single element or
both inner and outer portions may be set to heat together
(See Fig. 1).

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). 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.
Using proper cookware
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 Figs. 2 & 3.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire element (See Fig. 2). Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (Fig. 3). For more information about the
ceramic cooktop see "Cooktop Cleaning" and "Cooktop
Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.

1. Push in either direction and turn the knob (See Fig 1).
The temperatures are approximate, and are
designated by hi and lo. However, the control can be
set at any position between hi and lo for different
levels of warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The
keep warm zone will remain warm until the indicatorlight goes OFF.
• Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will
not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or
oven mitts when removing food from the keep warm
zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooledafter they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
• Do not place flammable 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 fire if placed too close
to the surface elements.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning using your appliance.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
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.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• 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.
• 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.
• When using two canners at the same time, stagger the
canners on the left and right sides of the cooktop. This
will help distribute the heat generated more evenly.
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surfacemay still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
• Do not place flammable 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 fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.

Convect
Benefits of the convection features
— Foods cook more evenly
— Multiple rack baking
— No special pans or bakeware needed
The convect feature uses a fan to circulate the oven's
heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat
distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning
results. Heated air flows around the food from all sides,
sealing in juices and flavors. Convect provides better
results when baking using multiple oven racks. Most foods
cooked with a bake setting will cook faster and more
evenly when using the convect features.

Convect bake
Suggestions for convect baking
• For optimum results it is recommended to preheat the
oven before baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and
breads.
• Reduce the oven temperature 25°F from the recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder
of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.
• When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results (Fig. 1).
To set convect bake with a default oven set
temperature of 350°F:
StepPress
1. Press convect.
2. Press start.
To stop convect bake at any time press cancel.
Fig. 1
Convect roast
Suggestions for convect roasting
• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
convect roast.
• Since convect roast cooks faster, reduce cook times
by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe
(check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase
cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent
the meat from browning properly.
To set convect roast with a default oven set
temperature of 350°F:
StepPress
1. Press convect.
2. Press convect again.
3. Press start.
NOTES
• When using the convect features, any cook time
reductions used may need to vary depending on the
oven set temperature.
• When baking layer cakes, use the bake feature to
obtain the best possible results.
• If the oven door is opened when a convect feature is
active, the convect fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
To stop convect roast at any time press cancel.
NOTE
When choosing the different convect features, use the
convect keypad to toggle between the choices.
21
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Convect broil (some models)
Use the convect broil feature to cook thicker cuts of meats
that require direct exposure to radiant heat and the
convect fan for optimum browing results.
IMPORTANT
Some models are not equipped with the convect broil
feature.
Suggestions for convect broil:
1. Be sure to carefully follow all the recommended
broil pan and insert instructions and the directions
for placing the oven racks as provided in the "broil"
section in this Use & Care Guide.
2. Since convect broil 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. Close the oven door when using convect broil.
To set convect broil (some models) with a default
oven set temperature of 550°F:
StepPress
1. Press convect keypad 3 times. 3 times
Convect convert
The convect convert feature allows you to convert any
baking recipe for the convect feature. The control uses the
normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature
for convection baking. The convect convert feature may
only be used when convect baking.
To set convect using default oven set temperature
of 350°F and adding the convect convert:
StepPress
1. Press convect keypad.
2. Press convect convert.
To stop convect convert at any time press cancel.
When convect convert is active with a bake time or a
delay start setting, the convect convert feature will
display the message "CF" for check food when the bake
time is 75% complete (See Fig. 1). At this time the oven
control will sound 1 long beep at regular intervals until
the set bake time has finished.
Fig. 1
2. Press start to accept.
To stop convect broil at any time press cancel.
NOTE
The convect fan will begin rotating once convect
broil has been activated (some models).
NOTES
• When using convect convert, any cook time
reductions needed may vary depending on the oven
set temperature.
• When baking layer cakes, use the bake feature to
obtain the best results.
• The minimum bake time setting allowed using the
convect convert feature is 20 minutes.
• If the oven door is opened when a convect feature is
active, the convect fan will stop rotating until the
oven door is closed.
22
Probe
Be sure to use the probe feature for best results when
cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry. This
feature also works well with other foods such as meat loaf
and casseroles.
For some food types,
especially poultry and
roasts, using a probe to
check the internal
temperature is the safest
possible method to insure
properly cooked food.
The probe feature, when
set correctly, will alert
when the internal food
temperature reaches the
desired "target"
temperature.
When active, the probe will
display the internal food
temperature, eliminating
the need for any
guesswork.

• To avoid damaging the probe, do not use kitchen
utensils such as tongs to pull on the probe cable or
handles. Always insert and remove the probe using
the provided handles (See Fig. 1) and always use a
pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.
• Do not store the probe inside the oven. Always
remove the probe from the oven when finished.
• Use only the original probe provided with this
appliance. Connecting any other probe or device into
the probe receptacle could result in damage to the

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Probe (cont’d)
Proper probe placement in food:
• Always insert the probe so that the probe tip rests
inside at the center of the thickest part of meat or food
(See Fig. 1). For best results, do not allow the probe
temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle or the
cookware.
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the
center of lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such
as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center
of food. When cooking fish, insert meat probe just
above the gill.
• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe
sensor into the thickest part of inner thigh, just below
the leg (See Fig. 2).

SELF-CLEANING
Preparing for self-clean
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself using high temperatures
that are well above normal cooking temperatures. The
self-clean feature, if used properly, will eliminate soils
from the oven completely or reduce them to a fine
powdered ash. Once the oven has cooled, simply wipe
away the ash using a damp cloth.
Your oven provides three self-cleaning duration choices. A
3-hour cleaning time for normal cleaning; a 2-hour clean
for lighter soils and a 4-hour option for heavier burnt-on
soils (some models).
WARNING
• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.
• Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
CAUTION
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.

Read before starting self-clean
IMPORTANT
• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop,including food, cookware, utensils, plastic and
any aluminum foil and temp probe (if equipped).
Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures
generated during a self-clean cycle.
• Remove all oven racks and any accessories from
the oven to avoid possible heat damage. If the oven
racks are not removed they may discolor. The
Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) must be
removed before starting self-clean to avoid damaging
the glide ability of the rack.
• Be sure the oven vent area is clear.
• Remove all items from the storage drawer (some
models) or warming drawer (some models).
• Be sure the oven light shield is in place. Turn off the
oven light.
• Remove any excessive spillovers. Spills on the
oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting self-clean. To clean, use hot,
soapy water and a cloth. Large food spillovers can
cause heavy smoke or a fire during self-clean.
• Remove any food spills from oven that have a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) before starting a
self-clean cycle. If they are not removed they may
leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area
at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean using
soap and water before starting self-clean. These
areas (See Fig. 1) heat sufficiently to burn soil on.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).
Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the 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 commercial oven cleaners or protective
coatings of any kind inside oven. Residue from oven
cleaners may damage the porcelain during the next
self-clean cycle.

before the control will allow another self-clean cycle to
start.
NOTE
If attempting to set "back to back" self-clean cycles,
the control may display the messages "CLEAn" , then
"dELAy" followed by the length of time to wait before
the next self-clean may be set. For example, if the
message displayed reads "4:00", and the time is 12:00
o’clock, the control will not allow self-clean to be set
again until after 4:00 o’clock.
Press cancel at any time to stop self-clean.
NOTES
• The maximum delay start setting is 11 hours & 59
minutes.
• Check to be sure the oven is empty before setting a
self-clean cycle using a delay start time. Immediately

CARE & CLEANING
Cooktop maintenance
IMPORTANT
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
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 (with 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.
Cooktop cleaning
CAUTION
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 nonabrasive 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.
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.
• 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.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface or without
using cookware.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
30°
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 (as illustrated) and
scrape the soil from the hot surface. Allow the cooktop to
cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on
soils.
36
CARE & CLEANING
Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)
WARNING
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.
• 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 (cont’d)
Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to
cover the oven bottom or any oven racks.
Using a liner in the
oven restricts the heat
and air flow needed to
obtain the best possible
cooking results for any
oven, including the
warmer drawer (on
some models).
During self-clean the oven temperature can become hot
enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum
foil if left in the oven. This could result in damage to the
oven interior porcelain finish.
Replacing the oven light
CAUTION
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.
Aluminum foil and oven liners
WARNING
• 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.
The interior oven light is
located at the rear of the
oven interior back wall
and is protected with a
