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 foam-type 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.

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.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove or attempt to arrange oven racks with cookware still on the racks. To avoid damaging cookware or spilling food items, always remove any cookware first.
Oven rack stop
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.

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 Space Wise® half oven 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.

bottom oven rack
(somemodels)
The bottom oven rack (some models) 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 and baking results, hot air must be able to circulate freely around the cookware (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 (see previous page to verify positions).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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Cookware material types for the cooktop
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. 1 & 2.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire element (See Fig. 1). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Fig. 2). For more information about the ceramic cooktop see "Cooktop Cleaning" and "Cooktop Maintenance" in the Care
& Cleaning section.

About the ceramic glass cooktop
Located under the surface of the glass ceramic cooktop are radiant surface elements. The design patterns on the cooktop outlines the size of the heating area for each 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 power level 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 surface elements
When activated, the surface 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 heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn the element OFF several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
IMPORTANT
The HE (hot element) message will appear in the display
windows once a heating element is turned OFF and will remain ON until the heating surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.
• 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 can
damage the ceramic cooktop.
NOTES
Radiant elements have a limiter that will make the
element cycle ON and OFF, even at the high setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the high setting is normal and will occur more frequently if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is warped.
• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for "Cooktop Maintenance" and "Cooktop Cleaning"in the Care & Cleaning section.
Fig. 1
(surface element and cooking zone locations)
The right and left rear single radiant element positions will be marked on the cooktop with a round outline pattern shown (See Fig. 1).
The keep warm zone will 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.
The Space Wise® Bridge Element feature allows the user to set the left front cooking element alone or along with the middle (bridge portion) and if desired add the left rear element into one combined cooking zone (Fig. 1). The left front and left rear elements may also be used as single independent heating elements whenever needed.
Power Plus® Boil feature (some models) Your appliance may be equipped with one or more surface elements on the cooktop marked power plus boil. Use this element position when bringing a large amount of liquid to temperature or when preparing larger amounts of food.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Cooktop display windows
Located on the backguard are digital displays for each of the heating positions located on the cooktop. Surface element power levels can easily be controlled and monitored using these displays in combination with the corresponding control keypads.
The triple element (some models) feature provides 3 different size settings to choose from a single location on the cooktop.
Available power level settings
The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig. 6) and Off (Fig. 7). The Hi setting is the highest available heat level.
The settings between 9.5 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) may be adjusted in increments of .5 (1/2).
The settings between 2.8 (Figs. 4) and 1.2 (Fig. 5) are simmer settings which may be adjusted in increments of .2 for more precise heat levels.
Lo (Fig. 6) is the lowest heat level available. Use the "Suggested power level settings table" provided
later in this section to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.

Hot surface window message (HE)
After using any radiant element the cooktop will be very hot. Even after turning the elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time afterwards. The corresponding HE (hot element - Fig. 8) message will remain ON and turn OFF once that element position on the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 7).
Lock window message ( - - )
The (- -) message will appear whenever the lock feature is active (See Fig. 9). Refer to the lock instructions in the
Setting Oven Controls section for detailed instructions.
Sabbath feature (Sb) message
The display windows will show the Sb message whenever the Sabbath feature is active (Fig. 10). When activated, the Sabbath feature works for both the oven and cooktop opertations
Once the Sabbath feature is active, changes to the heat levels for the cooktop elements will not appear in the displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level changes. See "Setting the Sabbath feature" for complete instructions.

Home canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning using your appliance.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
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. Be sure the cookware has no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning using a ceramic cooktop.
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 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 can 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).

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
2. Press start.
To stop convect bake at any time press cancel.
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.

Slow cook
The slow cook feature may be used to cook foods more slowly and at lower oven temperatures. Slow cook provides cooking results much the same way as a crock-pot or slow cooker.
The slow cook feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal.
Two settings are available for slow cook, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to 5 hour time period. The low setting is best for cooking foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
To set slow cook:
Step Press
1. Position oven racks and cookware in oven. Close the oven door.
2. Press slow cook keypad. Hi will appear in the oven display indicating the default setting is for high. If a low setting is needed, press slow cook keypad again to select the Lo setting.
3. Press start to activate.
slow cook
Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the
slow cook feature.
When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position 2 or 3.
Position multiple racks to accommodate the size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food items at the same time.
Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If enough oven heat escapes, the slow cook time may need to extended.
Cover foods to keep them moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will likely vary; depending on the weight, fat content, bone and the shape of the roast.
Use the recipe’s recommended food temperature and a food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the slow cook feature.
Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of
cooking.
To stop slow cook at any time press cancel.
WARNING
FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

SELF-CLEANING
Preparing for self-clean
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself using high temperatures that are well above normal cooking temperatures. The self­clean 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.

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.

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 non-abrasive 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.

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 permanent 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 oven cavity and is covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use (See Fig. 1).
Replacing the oven interior light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the appliance.
2. Remove interior oven light shield (See Fig. 1).
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type 40 Watt Halogen appliance bulb. Please note: do not allow your fingers to touch the new bulb when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb. Use a paper towel while handling the new bulb when installing.
4. Replace glass oven light shield.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).
6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
