Important Safety Instructions
• Do not heat unopened food containers—Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it is
to 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.
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 temperature
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.
• 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.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
surface heating to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit
will also improve efficiency.
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating
Elements— Heating elements should never be immersed
in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal
operation.
• Make sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place—
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units—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 units unattended at high heat
settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners
or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire
or short circuit.
• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop use.
• Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cooktop glass 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 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 glass with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door—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 ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near each side and towards the
back of the cooktop. 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 an
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• 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.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its grid. 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. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing
so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance
or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and
replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the 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. Greasy deposits in
the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming food under
the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.

Important Safety Instructions
• 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.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven,
remove all utensils or foods from the oven.
• Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner
or ovens 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.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Surface cooking
For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
Pans should have flat bottoms. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom. There should be no 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. It can also result in
exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards and be hazardous to your health.
5
Specialty Pans & Trivets
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring. Because this ring
traps heat, the cooktop surface
could be damaged.
Surface cooking
Woks
with flat bottoms suitable for use
on your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores.
DO NOT use two elements (if the
cooktop is not equipped with bridge element) to heat one large pan such as
a roaster or griddle, or allow cooking
utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in either of these situations could cause discoloring or cracking of the glass range surface.
Wire trivets:
Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the surface elements.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
Do not use wire trivets.
For glass smoothtop models, only
flat bottomed woks (without
support rings) may be used.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care &
Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist
section of this Use and Care Guide.
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 12
under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by
the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green
when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon
is normal and the glass will come back to its original
white color after it has completely cooled down. (White
glass cooktops only).

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.
Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the
element outline on the cooktop (See Figure 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 their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of
heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements.
The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough
to cause burns.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the
selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating
element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the off cycle. 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 elements with
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:
- One 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;
-A dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- Two 7 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and
rear positions.
- 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.
Surface Cooking Settings
Use the chart (see Figure 2) 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.
Recommended Settings for Surface Elements
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (Hi) Start most foods, bring water to a
boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (5-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (5) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces
and gravies, steam vegetables
MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
LOW (Lo - 2) Keep warm, melt, simmer

Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element
The range is equipped with a dual radiant surface element
located at the right front (See Figures 3) position. Symbols on
the control panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual
radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates that only
the inner coil will heat (Figures 1, 3,4 and 5). The symbol
indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Figures 6, 8,
9 and 10). You may switch from either coil setting at any time
during cooking.
