Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening 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 Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• 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 underneath 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 manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
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.
• 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.

Setting Surface Controls
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
Element ON & Hot Surface Indicator Lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on your range the Element ON indicator lights and the Hot Surface indicator light (Refer to Fig. 3).
The Element ON indicator lights are located on

HOT SURFACE
INDICATOR LIGHT
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant element to cycle ON & 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.
the control panel above each radiant element control knob and will glow when a radiant 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; Models with 3 Single & 1
Dual Element
Fig. 2; Models with four Dual
Elements
To Operate a Single Radiant Element (See Figs. 1 & 3; some models):
1. Place correctly sized cookware on radiant surface element.
2. Push in & turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Refer to the Suggested Radiant Surface
Element Settings Table & Fig. 3 above). 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. 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.
3. When cooking is complete turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware.
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Elements (See Figs. 1, 2, 4 & 5):
Push in & turn the control knob in the direction required for a single or dual setting as shown in Figs. 4 & 5. Follow the remainder of instructions shown above for under To Operate a Single Radiant Element.
Symbols shown on the backguard are used to 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 (Refer to Figs. 4, 5 & Suggested Radiant Surface Element Settings Table). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking. Note: Surface areas that heat are
shown in black (Figs. 4 & 5).
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 plastic items such as salt & 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.
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.

Surface Cooking
Suggested Radiant Surface Element Settings Table
The suggested settings found in Fig. 1 are based when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies or
Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
LOW (LO - 1) Keep warm, melt, simmer
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Manual.
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 3). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Fig. 2).

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated.
For more information about the ceramic cooktop see Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance in the
General Care & Cleaning section.
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
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 above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor 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.
