Save these instructions for future reference.

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.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

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

warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven which helps to provide good baking results. Do not block the

oven vent.

Oven racks

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.

Effortless™ Oven Rack

(some models)

bottom oven rack

(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 rack sides) 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 door connector 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 other rack 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.

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.

Fig. 1

CAUTION

• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface 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.

Single radiant surface elements (all models)

Fig. 2

To operate a single radiant element:

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

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

Suggested radiant surface element settings table Fig. 1).

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

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

NOTES

• 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.

• The element on indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Dual radiant surface elements (some models)

Symbols provided on the backguard graphics will indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates the inner coil only. The symbol indicates both inner and outer coils will heat.

To operate a dual radiant element:

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

2. If only the inner heating portion is needed, push in and turn the knob counter-clockwise to start (Fig. 1). Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to when heating both the inner and outer (Fig. 2) portions of the dual element together.

3. When finished cooking, turn the dual radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking. See Suggested radiant surface element settings table on previous page.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

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.

These radiant elements are best used when bringing larger quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

CAUTION

NOTES

• 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.

Keep warm (some models)

The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2).

If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.

Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality.

For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.

Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils and

cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

Setting the keep warm control

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 indicator light goes OFF.

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.

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.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

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:

Step Press

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:

Step Press

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.

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:

Step Press

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:

Step Press

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.

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.

IMPORTANT

• 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 oven control, electronics and the receptacle.

• Before starting self-clean, double check that the probe is removed from the oven interior. The high temperatures generated by self-clean may damage or destroy the probe.

• To avoid damaging the probe, defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the probe.

CAUTION

To avoid the possibility of burns after cooking with the probe, use care when disconnecting the probe from the receptacle or food. The probe may be hot. Be sure to always use a pot holder to protect hands.

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.

clean

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.

Read before starting self-clean (cont’d)

SELF-CLEANING

IMPORTANT

• It is normal for odors to occur during self-clean,

especially during the first self-clean cycle. It is recommend to ventilate the kitchen. Open any windows and if available turn on an exhaust fan or overhead range hood during the self-clean cycle.

• Be aware that during self-clean temperatures inside the oven will become hot enough to melt or destroy some types of materials, including cookware made with materials having a low melting point and

aluminum foil.

Setting a self-clean cycle

need to allow about 1 additional hour to the time displayed before you can open the oven door.

• When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash from the oven interior using a damp cloth or paper towel.

SELF-CLEANING

If it becomes necessary to cancel self-clean:

1. Press keypad.

2. If the self-clean cycle has heated the oven to a high temperature, the "Hot" (Fig. 1) message will show in the display. Allow enough time for the oven to cool and for the "door OPn" message to display (Fig. 2). When this message turns off the oven door may be opened.

Fig. 1

Restarting a self-clean cycle after a power outage:

If a self-clean cycle was interrupted by a power failure, your oven may not have thoroughly cleaned. If so, once power is restored, the oven has cooled and the oven door has unlocked, if needed, set again for self-clean.

Starting another self-clean after cancellation: If a self-clean cycle was cancelled using the cancel

keypad before the oven was finished cleaning, you may

wish to set for another self-clean cycle.

Fig. 2

Setting a delay start self-clean cycle

Example: To program a self-cleaning cycle with a delay start time of 9:00 o’clock:

Step Press

1. The oven should be empty and all oven racks removed. Remove

all items from the cooktop. Be sure the oven door is completely closed.

2. Press delay start.

4. Press start.

5. Press self clean once for a 3-hour clean time, press self clean twice for

4-hour clean and press 3 times for a 2-hour self-clean cycle time.

6. Press start to accept.

If self-clean was cancelled shortly after being started, and the oven interior did not reach high self-clean temperatures, the next clean cycle may be set as soon as the oven door unlocks from the cancelled clean cycle.

If the oven became hot enough from the cancelled selfclean cycle, you may be required to wait up to 4 hours 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 after setting self-clean with a delay start the oven door will lock. The self-clean feature will not start heating the oven for cleaning until reaching the delay start time.

Refer to "Cooktop cleaning" and "Cooktop maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.

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.

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

The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven interior back wall and is protected with a glass shield held by a wire holder.

The glass shield should always be in place to protect and shield the oven interior light whenever using the oven.

To replace the interior oven light:

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

2. While holding the glass shield in place, press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.

3. Remove glass shield. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.
