not be stored in an oven, near surface burners or inthe

drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such ascookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as

flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol
cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may
explode and result in fire or property damage.

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 SURFACEBURNERS,AREASNEAR THESE
BURNERS,OVEN HEATING ELEMENTSOR INTERIORSUR-

FACESOF THE OVEN. Both surface burners and oven heat-

ing elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.

Areas near surface burners 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 areasarethe cooktop,

surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and sur-
faces 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 sur-

faces.

Use proper pan size--Adjust flame size so

it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use

of undersize utensils will exposed a portion of the burner flame
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper

relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

Do not usestove top grills on the burner grates

of sealed gas burners. Ifyou usea stove top grill on asealed gas

burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in
exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by

cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the
first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of

time, make sure that it has been exposed to a tempera-
ture above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting

it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

* Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Always turn the knob to the LITEposition when igniting the

burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the

flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Do not use water or flour on grease firesiSmother 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.

Incaseof fire or gas leak, be sureto turn off the

main gas shutoff valve.

Useonly 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 containersiBuild-up of pressure

may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it isto be
stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during

a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the ovens
off. If the ovens are not turns off and the power resumes, the

oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could
catch fire or spoil.

Use proper pan size. This appliance isequipped with one or
more surface burners of different sizes. Selectutensils having

flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The

useof undersized utensilswill exposea portion of the surface
burner to direct contact and may result inignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also
improve efficiency.

Utensil handles should be turned inward and not ex-

tend over adjacent surface burnersiTo reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil. The handleof the utensil

should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface burners.

* Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat

settingsiBoilovers cause smoking and greasyspillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Protective linersiDo not use aluminum foil to line oven

bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use alumi-

num foil asrecommended for baking if used asacover placed
on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum
foil may result in arisk of electric shock or fire or short circuit.

Glazed cooking utensilsiOnly certain types of glass,glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop servicewithout breaking due to the sud-

den change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations for rangetop use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner

is accidentally turned on, the decorative coverwill become

hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are
touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burn-
ers because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be

blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.

• Do not usethe broiler pan without its grid. The broiler
pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept

away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Ex-
posed fat and grease could ignite.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktopilf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Con-
tact a qualified technician immediately.

Clean cooktop glass with cautionllf a wet sponge or
cloth isused to wipe spillson a hot cooking area, becareful
to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This
could cause glass to break.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glasswith sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

• Use care when opening oven dooriStand 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 ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near eachside and towards the back
of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the
oven is operating may causesevere burns. Also, do not place

plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near anoven vent. These

items could melt or ignite.

Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Do-

ing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appli-
ance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing
and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Cleanthe range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and

grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate on hood or filter. Greasydeposits in the fan could
catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood, turn

the fan on. Referto the hood manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning.

Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the

manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Beaware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite

causing damage and injury.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• In the self-Cleaning cycleonly clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven,

remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the

oven.

• Do not use oven cleanerslNO commercial oven cleaner
or ovens liner protective coating of any kind should be used

in or around any part of the oven.

Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are 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 ovens.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

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.

• Do not clean door gasketlThe door gasket isessential
for a good seal.Care should betaken not to rub, damage or

move the gasket.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds isextremely sensitive

to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Selecting Surface
Cooking Utensils

Forbest result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that havethese

characteristics:

Pans should have flat bottoms. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler acrossthe

bottom. Thereshould beno gap between
the pan and ruler.

Note: Always use a utensil for its
intended purpose. Follow manufacturer's

instructions. Some utensils were not
made to be used in the oven or on the

cooktop.

Do not use griddle over

more than one burner because it could
damage your cooktop. Itcan also result in

exposureto carbon monoxide levelsabove
allowable current standards and be

hazardous to your health.

* GOOD

• Flatbottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt
pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pansizes match the amount of
food to beprepared.

• Made of a material that conducts
heat well.

• Easyto clean.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used

but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

POOR

• Curved and wraped pan bottoms.

• Panoverhangs unit by more than
one inch or 2.5 cm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flameextends beyond unit.

Specialty Pans & Trivets

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in

most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a support
ring that does not extend beyond the
burner unit) may also be used. The
metal ring was designed to support

the wok safely when it is filled with

large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must bein direct contact

with the grates.

DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a

roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensilsto boil dry.The bottom surface of the pan
in either of these situations could causediscoloring or crazing of the appliance cook-
ing surface, and damage to the grates and burner units.

DO NOT use a wok if it isequipped with

a metal ring that extends beyond the

burner unit. Becausethis ring traps heat,
the surface unit and cooktop surface
could be damaged.

Canning Tips &
Information

Canning can generate

largeamounts of steam. Useextreme cau-
tion to prevent burns. Always raise the lid
to vent steam away from you.

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for
the latest canning information.

2. Useflat-bottomed canners only. Heat isspread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.

3. Center canner on the burner grate.

4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring
the water to aboil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possibleto maintain

a constant boil.

5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:

1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate.

2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.

3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding
surfaces to cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

Safecanning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed

and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle

but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

The conversion must be performed by a qualified installer, LPsupplier or service

technician in accordancewith the installation instructions furnished with thisrange and
all codes and requirements of all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow

instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Personal injury or death from electrical shock mayoccur if the range

isnot installed by a qualified installer or electrician.

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one
to complete the process. Usethetable below asaguide for determining proper flame
size for various types of cooking. The sizeand type of utensil used and the amount
of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. Ifthe fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. Ifthe fat

istoo hot, the food will brown soquickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not

attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once asthe food will neither brown norcook

properly.

Ovens Vents Locations

Eachoven has its own vent located on the top, near each sideand towards the back
of the cooktop. When an oven is on, warm air is released through the vent; this
ventilation is necessaryfor proper air circulation inthe oven and good baking results.

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL

(PRIORTOOPERATINGTHEOVEN).Always useoven mitts when

using the oven.

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift
up front of rack and slide out.

To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guideson the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slidethe rack back into

Air Circulation in the

Oven

If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of
oven.

For best air circulation and baking results, center pans asmuch as possible. Allow
2-4" (5-10 cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do

not touch each other or the door, sides and back of oven. The hot air must
circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

Broiling Informations

(Right Oven)

Broil Stop

Right Oven

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat from the broil

element of the oven. Meats are placed on the broiling rack and the rack isplaced

under the broiling element.
Seethe broiling instructions for right oven in the Electronic Oven Control guide.
See side oven step-by-step instructions in the Setting Oven Controls (Left Oven, If

Equipped) section.

Preheating

Preheating issuggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan before

preheating; food will stick if placed on hot metal.)To preheat, set the oven control(s)
to BROILas instructed in the Electronic Oven Control guide. Wait for the element to

become red-hot, usuallyabout 2 minutes. Preheating isnot necessarywhen broiling

meats well-done.

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food isbrowned; turn and cook on the other side; season
and serve.Always pull rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times vary; watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance
from the element, but on the thickness and age of meat, fat content and doneness

preferred. Thefirst side usually requires afew minutes longer than the second. Frozen

meats also require additional time.

Broiling Tips

The broiler pan and itsgrid allow dripping greaseto drain and be kept away from the

high heat of the broiler.

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, closethe oven door and turn off the oven.

Ifthe fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use afire extinguisher. DO NOT

put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Always pull oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing
food.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips:

• To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO

NOTcover the broiler grid with foil.

• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven assoon
ascooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan isextremely hot.

Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.

• Clean the broiler pan assoon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-
filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Convection Cooking

and Baking

(Right Oven, If Equipped)

Theconvection option, available on some models, isan alternative to the conventional
oven cooking methods of baking/roasting.

Convection cooking is a method of cooking in which the heated air of the oven is
circulated by a fan at the rear of the oven cavity, providing better heat distribution.
This fan is covered by a baffle to circulate the air uniformly, providing even heat
distribution for faster and more even cooking, baking and browning. The heated air

penetrates food from every angle, sealing in natural moisture and flavors. The

convection fan automatically turns off when the oven door is opened and

resumes when the door is closed again. However, the heating element will stay

on.

The oven can be programmed to bake in the convection mode at any temperature
from 170°F/80°C to 550°F/288°C. Preheating the oven for 10-12 minutes is

recommended when using convection but not necessarywhen roasting or cooking

casseroles.

Air circulation

during convection cooking.

Convection Roating

(Right Oven, If Equipped)

CAUTION: Inthe convection mode, using cooking times from conventional cooking

recipes may cause food to be overcooked. For satisfactory results, use only tested
recipeswith times adjusted for convection cooking. Obtaining and using a convection

oven cookbook ishighly recommended.

Convection cooking usesa lower temperature and takes lesstime to achieve the
same results as conventional cooking. Inconvection mode, the actual temperature

in your oven automatically adjusts to be 25°F/12°C lower than the temperature
displayed on the oven control panel. Becauseof this automatic adjustment you can
enter the cooking temperature from your existing conventional cooking recipe, but
do not set the cooking time to be the same. Evenat the lower cooking temperature,
convection cooking times will be as much as 30% lessthan conventional cooking

times.

When programming cooking times for convection cooking, enter atime that is20 to
30 percent lessthan called for inyour conventional cooking recipe. After the cooking
cycle ends, decide if the food is done to satisfaction, slightly overdone or slightly

underdone (if underdone, cook ashort time longer to satisfaction). Make a note of
the time and results, and with your next use of the recipe adjust cooking time
accordingly.

When convection roasting, usethe broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. The

broiler pan will catch grease spillsand the grid will help prevent greasespatters. The

roasting rack will hold the meat.

Roasting Rack

Grid

1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to bottom rack position.

2. Placethe grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the

heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase

browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack issecurely seated on the
grid inthe broiler pan. DO NOT use broiler pan without the grid. DO NOT cover
the grid with aluminum foil.

Adhere to the Following Precautions:

Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall can become very

hot to touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. A venti-
lation system starts automatically; it isnormal for the hot air to be evacuated through

the front of the appliance.

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven

control isturned off or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until the oven is cool.

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.

_DO hand

DO NOT

hand clean seal

DO NOT use commercial oven cleanersor oven protective coatings in or around any

part of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on
the oven door isessential for a good seal. Care should betaken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may
affect cooking, or the foil could melt and damage the oven surface.

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking tem-

peratures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you
can wash away with damp cloth.

Preparing for the Self-Cleaning Cycle

1. Remove excessspillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-clean cycle.To
clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke
or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOTallow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to

remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

2. Clean all soil from the oven frame and the inner door (see illustration to right).
These areasheat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with
soap and water. Do not clean door seal because doing so can permanently dam-
age it.

3. Remove the broiler pan and insert all utensils and any foil. These items do not
withstand high cleaning temperatures.

4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the
clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and the
oven has cooled, rub the sides or the racks with wax paper or acloth containing
a small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide easier.

What to Expect During Cleaning

While the oven self-cleans, it heats to temperatures much higher than those used in

normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also
normal asthe food soil isbeing removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent,
located on both sides of the cooking surface.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause
more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause

alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

NOTE: When the oven reaches its self-clean temperature, the smoke level will be
reduced to vapor.

Setting the Control for a Clean Cycle

Referto the Electronic Oven Control guide supplied with this range.

Porcelain Enamel Oven Cleaning

Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glassfused to metal. Oven cleaners

can be used on all interior oven surfaces.

Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloveswhen cleaning the
appliance manually.

Remove spillovers and heavy soils as
soon as possible. Regular cleanings

will reduce the number of future
major cleanings.

Ammonia must be

rinsed before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.

General Cleaning

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spillswith a high sugar or
acid content (such asmilk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)to remain
on the surface asthey may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

To Remove Heavy Soil

1. Allow adish of ammonia to sit inthe oven overnight or for several hourswith the
oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinsewell with

water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If
necessary,usean oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT

mix ammonia with other cleaners.

Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:

1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches becauseit could causeashort
circuit and result in sparking or fire.

2. DO NOT allow afilm from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing
bulb located at the top left rear corner of the oven; it could causethe oven to
heat improperly. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being

careful notto move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven

bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.

3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any

exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.

General Cleaning

To Clean the Oven Bottom

Clean using hot, soapywater, a mild abrasive cleanser, asoap-filled abrasive pad or
oven cleaner following oven cleaner manufacturer's instructions.

DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the

appliance with aluminum foil. Doing sowill destroy heat distribution, produce poor

baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface of the oven).

Changing Oven Light

Besure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replac-

ing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven light on during a self-cleaning cycle.
High temperature will reduce lamp life.

To Change the Oven Light
The oven light automatically turns on when the door isopened (some models). To
turn the oven light on and off when the door isclosed, use the OVEN LIGHTswitch

located on the control panel.

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

2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

3. Presswire holder to one side to release the glassshield.

4. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

5. Replace glass shield in socket and snap wire holder into place.

6. Turn power back on at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).

7. The clock will then need to be reset.To reset,see Setting the Clock and Minute

Timer in the Electronic Oven Control guide.

To Clean the Cooktop Glass

The cooktop isdesigned to make cleaning easier. Cleanups are easywhen spillovers
are cleaned up immediately. Toclean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

THIS COOKTOP ISNOT REMOVABLE.

Do not attempt to remove or lift the
cooktop.

Heavyburned-on spills can be removed
with a razor blade scraper. Usecaution
to avoid damaging surface.

DO NOT use a cooktop

cleaner on ahot cooktop. The fumes can
be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic- glasssur-

face. Be sure the controls are turned to
OFF. Do not use commercial oven clean-

ers on any part of the cooktop. Damage

to the finish or parts could result.

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your heat-resistant glass
top. Spills and spatters should be wiped up using a clean paper towel and sudsy
water. This should be done either as soon as possible after the spill occurs, after
cooking iscompleted, or at the latest, before using the cooktop again. Usecaution

if the cooktop is hot. For heavy spills, spatter or burned-on materials, use a razor
blade scraper. Hold the razor blade scraper at a30° angle and remove food spillsor

burned on food residue.

Finish the cleaning process by applying arecommended heat-resistant glasscooktop
cleaning cream. Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinsewith a paper
towel dampened with clean water and wipe dry. Always wipe the cooktop thor-
oughly to avoid heating any cleaner residue.

Apply cleaning cream before first useof the cooktop. The cream provides a protec-
tive coating on the glass surface which makes it easier to clean. Use the cream

regularly to preserve the appearance of your cooktop.

Things to Remember

1. Avoid using bleach and do not use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface.

2. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

3. Neverslide oven racks acrosscooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark the
cooktop.

4. Ifcooktop should break, do not usecooktop orattempt to clean it. Callyour Service
Center immediately.

5. Never use rivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic
cooktop. Theceramic surface may be scratched, metal marked or etched bysuch

items.

6. Sugaryspills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin
cleaning the spillswhile the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the
steps below.

a) Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

b) Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor to scrape the hot spill out of the cooking

zone to cooler area on the cooktop.

c) Allow the cooktop to cool.

Problem

To Clean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner Pans, Burner
Caps, and Burner Bases.

The burner grates, contoured burner pans, burner cap, and burner base should be

routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and

an uneven flame. Follow instructions below.

To Clean the Contoured Burner Pans

The square burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The

burner pan forms a recessed well area located around each burner unit. If a spill
occurs in one of the four well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinsewith
a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To Clean the Grates

Any remaining soil may beremoved by gently scouring with a soapyscouring pad.

Rinsewith a 1:1 solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult
spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinsewith clean
water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinseand wipe
dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners thoroughly or the grate porcelain may

become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners.

To Clean the Burner Caps

Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps. If

necessary, cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30

minutes. Rubgentlywith asoap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of clean
water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners thoroughly or the burner cap

porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

To Clean the Burner Bases and Gas Openings

The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Usea small-
gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes. Usecare to prevent damage to
the electrode. Ifa cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or damage
the electrode. If the electrode is damaged orbroken, the surface burner will not light

because it will not spark. Manual lighting with a match isstill possible.

Forproper flow of gasand ignition of the burneriDO NOT ALLOW SPILLS,FOOD,
