IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
^ WARNING
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,
including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,
warmer drawer or lower double oven.
Ù, 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 surface of the 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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, 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—
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 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.
3 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.
• 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 broiier insert with aluminumfoil. 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.
Page 5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORCLEANING
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 hoodsfrequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS
• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking
may subject wiring or components underneath to
damage.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
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).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (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.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
Element on indicator lights
Your range is equipped with one or more element on
indicator lights located on the control panel just above the
surface control knobs (See Fig. 1). The element on
indicator light will glow when a surface 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.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
"Cookware material types" in the Before setting
surface controls section).
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning using a ceramic cooktop.
• 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.
• 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.

Operating surface elements
a CAUTION
• Surface elements may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. The element surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the element
or the area surrounding the element 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.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface drip bowls, or reflector pans. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual.

built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to
60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any
of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF
position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning,
line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF and if needed remove any
knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to
squeeze excess water from the dishcioth before wiping the control panel;
especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the
controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a
dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping the
control panel.
Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and
a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or
chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are
especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to wipe the cleaners off
from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Gentle scouring with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots.
Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult
spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean
water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled non-abrasive scouring pad.
Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruitjuices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Oven racks
Oven door
Surface elements and drip
bowls
The oven interior is porcelain coated and is safe to clean using oven cleaners
following manufacturer's instructions. After cleaning, remove any oven cleaner or the
porcelain may become damaged during future heating. Do not spray oven cleaner on
any electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven cleaner to build up on
the oven temperature sensing bulb. Do not spray cleaner on oven door trim, door
gasket, plastic drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range.
Clean any soils from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and
the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water.
Rinse using clean water and a cloth.
Remove oven racks from oven before cleaning. Clean by using a mild, abrasive
cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not
immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner
to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any
harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.

Surface elements and drip bowls
CARE & CLEANING
a CAUTION
• Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of
these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
• Never immerse a surface element in water.
• Be sure the range is cool before removing surface
elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal
ends when replacing surface elements after cleaning.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire.
Surface elements may be unplugged and removed to make
cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean
themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot
element will burn off. Food spilled on a COOL element may
be cleaned with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn
off the next time the element is used.
To remove the surface elements and drip bowls
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal
end. Lift the surface element and drip bowl
togetherjust enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently
pull the terminal end out from terminal plug. DO NOT
remove hold down clip (if equipped) from the drip bowl.

(if equipped)
Cleaning drip bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and
dry while still warm. Hard to remove, burned on soil can be
removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in
a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and
water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon
scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive
cleaners or steel wool, they will scratch the surface. Always
rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
To replace drip bowls and surface elements
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the
opening in the drip bowl (See Fig. 1).
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the
drip bowl. If your drip bowl is equipped with a hold
down clip, align the element support opposite the
terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip, and
snap into place.
After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up
3.
the terminal end with the terminal plug as shown.
4.
Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as
level as possible and firmly push the terminal end into
the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is seated
properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface
element is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off
the element.
A CAUTION
When lowering the lift-up range cooktop, grasp the
sides with finger-tips only. Be careful not to pinch
fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the range cooktop when
raising or lowering. This could damage the cooktop

CARE & CLEANING
Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop
• Aluminum Foil - Use ofaluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils orallow aluminum foil to touch the
surface elements under ANY circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point ofaluminum
is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry
when using the cooktop, the utensil may be damaged
or destroyed.
Cleaning under lower element (some models)
A CAUTION
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned OFF. The elements
may still be hot and burns may occur if these element
are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.
For models that have a visible lower bake element
ONLY - This bake element was designed to be tilted up
using your hand from the front of the bake element for
cleaning purposes. Remove the bottom oven rack before
raising the element. Do not to raise the element more than
4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

BEFORE YOU CALL * Solutions to common problems
Problem
Poor baking results.
Appliance is not level.
Cannot moveappliance easily. Appliance
must be accessible for service.
Surface element too hot or not hot
enough.
Solution
> Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position
is used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate.
Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the
oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time.
If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Oven Temperature"
section in this Use & Care Guide.
Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the
oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure
cabinets are square & have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to
make appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be
lifted over carpet.
Incorrect control setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element that
you are attempting to use.
Surface element does not heat. Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium
or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans.
Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy &
medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly,
foods may burn easily.
Entire appliance does not operate.
Oven portion of appliance does not
operate.
Oven light does not work.
The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to
operate the oven. See "Setting the clock" in the Setting Oven Controls
section.
Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.
Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or
authorized service agent.
Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local
electric company for service.
Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature.
See Setting Oven Controls in this manual or read the instructions "Entire
appliance does not operate" in this checklist.
Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see "Replacing the oven light"
section.

Solutions to common problems * BEFORE YOU CALL
Problem
Oven smokes excessively during broiling.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
Oven control panel beeps & displays any
F code error (for example F30).
Solution
• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.
• Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the oven rack to provide
proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil
element for searing.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Broiler pan and insert wrong side up and grease not draining. Always
place insert on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease
to drip into pan (some models).
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up
excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke
are present see "Broiling" in the Setting Oven Controls section.
Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press clear off to
clear the display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the
F code error repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and
then repower appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the bake or
broil feature again. If the fault recurs, record fault and call for service.
Drip bowls are pitting or rusting (coil
cooktop models only).
Drip bowls are turning color or distorted
(coil cooktop models only).
Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will
cause corrosiion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after
a spill over.
Normal environment. Houses located along sea coasts are exposed to salt air.
Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface element and touches
cooktop surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the
drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched
to the size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from
your appliance dealer.
