Heating the Room.
• Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface
units or in the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic
and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels,
as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface 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 cook top, surfaces facing
the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and 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--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 Only 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

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.
• 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.
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.
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.
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.

(See Fig 1). Heat is transferred up through the
_ surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only
_;_:_ flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type
and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and the settings, are all factors
that will affect the amount of heat that will
spread to areas beyond the surface elements.

become hot enough to cause burns.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
" The element temperature rises gradually and
evenly. As the temperature rises, the element
will glow red. To maintain the selected setting,

Rigl rear Rightfront uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
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 and Care Manual.
NOTE: 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 smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is
normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 11 for
using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).
For efficient cooking, turn off the element
several minutes before cooking is complete.
This will allow residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface
Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface
burners with 6 different wattage ratings. The
ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes
increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the
cooktop as follows (See Figure 2); a smaller 6
inch radiant element located at the right rear
position; a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element
located at the right front position; a Warmer
Zone radiant element at the center rear position
(See page 12); and 2 (two) 8 inch radiant
elements located at both the left front and rear
positions. Located between left front and rear
elements is a Bridge radiant element.
The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using
the same knob that controls the left front radiant
element position. See pages 10 and 11 for more
information about using BRIDGE radiant
element.
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control CESEC') feature
includes 4 digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides
a numeric digital setting for 4 of the radiant surface element
positions on the cooktop, including shared settings at the left
front knob control position for both the left front radiant
element and the "Bridge" radiant element. Also the rightfront
control knob position shares settings for the dual radiant
element. These settings work the same way as normal knob
setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in
digital windows (Figures 1 thru4).

The available ESEC Display Settings
The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2)
to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0
decrease in increments of .5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo
(Simmer settings) decrease in increments of .2 for more
precise settings of lower heat levels.
Use the chart (Fig. 5) to determine the correct setting for the
kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used
to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as
stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for
delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
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 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.

ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the single, dual or Bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will
become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for
some time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the
message "HE" (hot element) warning when the cooktop is stilltoo hot to touch (See Fig.1). If
the HE message appears in the window, the controlcan still be turned on again for use.
ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will be displayed (flashing "Er') at power up (or after a power failure) ifANY
of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. Ifa power failure should occur, be
sure to set all of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (See Fig. 2). This will reset
the surface controls.
Be sure to reset the clock (See page 16). Once the surface controls have been set to the
OFF positions and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls
should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the "Er"
message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact an authorized
servicer for assistance.
ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )
The self-clean feature willnot operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. Conversely
the ESEC feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature
is active. Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature isactive, "- -" may appear in any display
window (See Fig. 3). If any ofthe surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, "HE"
will appear inthe window instead of the "- -" message.
Figure 2
The Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear (Fig. 5) and left
rear (Fig. 6) element positions. The BRIDGE element position can also be used as a single

The Dual Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element
located at the rightfront (See Fig. 4) position. Symbols on the
control panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant
element will heat. The symbol shown in Figure 1 indicates that
onlythe inner coil will heat. The symbol shown in Figure 4
indicates that both inner and outer coilswill heat. You may
switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Dual Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface
element.
2. Push inand turn the control knob counterclockwise (See
Fig. 2) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Fig. 5) for
largercookware.
3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired
setting. Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if
needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting
and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The
HE message will appear after turning the control knob to
OFF ifthe cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the
radiant heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. Note:
See page 8, Figure 5 for recommended control settings.
Figure 3 Figure 6
The Bridge Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface
element located at the leftfront and middle (See Fig. 10)
positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with
rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware (Fig.
10). The element willmaintain an even temperature
setting across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for
normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a
single element without the Bridge (See Fig. 8).
Bridge element operation symbols are located on the
control panel on each side of the Bridge element control
knob. These symbols indicate the direction to turn the
control knob when operating the Bridge element. The
symbol in Figure 7 indicates that only the single portion
of the Bridge element will heat (See Fig. 8). The symbol
in Figure 9 indicates that both the single and Bridge
portions of the element will heat together (Fig. 10). You
may switch from either of these settings at any time
during cooking with the Bridge element.
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.

Figs. 1 and 2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for
normal shaped cookware or clockwise (See Figs. 3 and 4)
for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.
3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired
setting. Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if
needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting
and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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. Please note that not all cookware
will fit the Bridge element correctly.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. The HE
message will appear in the display after turning the control
knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on
until the radiant heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with
the left rear single element. Because these elements have 2
different controls, one element can be used to cook while the
other element may be used to keep food warm (See Fig. 5).
Figure 5
Using Proper
Cookware
Cookware should have
flat bottoms that make
good contact with the
entire surface heating
element. Check for
flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom
of the cookware (See

Operating the Warming Zone
The purpose of the Warming Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the Warming Zone to keep
cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warming Zone.
I@
¸ii
@ @
OFF
Figure 1
All food placed on the Warming Zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil 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 plates, utensils and
cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warming Zone.
Ii
Zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warming
To Set the Warming Zone Control:
1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The On indicator light will come on (See
Fig. 1 and 2). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and
LO. However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different
levels of heating (Fig.1).
2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warming Zone Hot surface indicator light
will remain on until the Warming Zone cools to a moderate level (See Fig. 1 and 2).
Temperature Selection
Refer to the table for recommended Warming Zone food settings (Fig. 3). 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.
The Warming Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough
to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the Warming Zone until the Warming Zone
