• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if equipped). 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 cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

Important Safety Instructions

• 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.

Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room.

• 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 the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should 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 unit.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—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 used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Remove the oven door from any unused appliance 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 oven off. If the oven is not turned 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 unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• 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.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Warmer Drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side of the appliance when

opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/ warmer drawer.

Important Safety Instructions

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is

vented at the front above the oven door (ceramic glass cooktop models) or through the right rear element (coil element models). 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/Warmer Drawer (if equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while

oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. 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 oven element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and

grease could ignite.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS:

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning

the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

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

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

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

The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

• 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. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.

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.

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

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 (Fig. 2):

-A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;

-A dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- Two 8 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.

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.

Fig. 2

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).

Setting Surface Controls

Surface Cooking Settings

Use the chart (Figure 1) 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.

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control (“ESEC”) feature includes digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figs. 2 thru 5).

The available ESEC Display Settings

The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 3) to Lo (Fig. 5) and OFF (Fig. 2).

Use the chart (Fig. 1) 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.

Hot Surface Indicator Lights

After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time. The “Hot Surface” indicator light will glow whenever any of the element positions becomes HOT. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON while hot and turn OFF once the cooktop has cooled sufficiently.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)

An error message will be displayed (flashing “Er”) at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions (See Fig. 6). If a power failure should occur, be sure to set all of the surface control knobs to the OFF position. This will reset the surface controls. Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions, 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.

The Bridge Surface Radiant Element

This model is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface element located at the left front and middle (See Fig. 6) positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware. The element will maintain 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. 3).

Bridge element operation symbols are located on the cooktop 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 1 indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (Fig. 5). The symbol in Figure 2 indicates that both the single and Bridge portions of the element will heat together (Fig. 6). You may switch from either of these settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.

To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See Fig. 3 and Fig. 5) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for normal shaped cookware or clockwise (See Fig. 4 and Fig. 6) for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.

3. Use the ESEC digital display window fot the desired setting. Turn 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. Note: The Surface Indicator light will come on when the control knob will be turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.

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. 7).

Note: See page 8, Figure 1 for recommended control settings.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface indicator

light will come on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface

Surface Cooking (Continued)

Selecting Surface Cooking 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 Figure 1). Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Figure 2.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Figure 1

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 glass 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.

Figure 2

Before Setting Oven Controls

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Drawer Rack Positions

The rack can be used in 2 ways:

• In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and

on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).

• In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty

dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Set the Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown aside (Figure 1).

Operating the Warmer Drawer

The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the

Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

Warmer Drawer Rack in upward position

Warmer Drawer Temperature Selection

Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 2. If a particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warmer Drawer while in use.

To Set the Warmer Drawer Controls:

Cooking Informations

Broiling

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROIL as instructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.

Open door

to the “Broil Stop”

position when broiling.

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

Broiling Tips

The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to 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, close the oven door and turn off the oven.

If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times vary,

the element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require additional time.

so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from

Broiler Pan

Broiler Clean-Up Tips:

• To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.

• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.

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

How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray liquids directly on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel

- excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the finish. 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.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the Self-Clean cycle for cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

If the racks are cleaned in the Self-Clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the Self-Clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).

Care & Cleaning

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (visit our web site, see front cover page for the address). Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the

hotsurface

bridge element

expandable element

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

First, clean the surface as described above. Then, if soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use any scrub pad

other than a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils

Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.

Care & Cleaning

Self-Cleaning

Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could

cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.

These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

• Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven, if they are not removed

during the Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. If left in, after the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the

Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door

gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These

areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.

Some models have an exposed Bake element in the lower oven cavity. On these models the bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front of the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

During the self-clean-

ing cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.

The health of some

birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

DO NOT line the oven

walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven

door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the SelfCleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Do Hand

Clean

Frame

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 elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.

What to Expect during Cleaning:

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

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.

To Set the Self-Clean Cycle

Refer to the Oven Control Guide for Self-Clean Cycle settings.

Read the following recommendations:

1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.

2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.

3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an

increased risk of breakage at a later time.

Changing Oven Light

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the

oven light on during the self-cleaning cycle. High temperature will reduce lamp life.

The interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened.

The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located on the control panel.

On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.

THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.

To replace the light bulb: CAUTION: BE SURE OVEN IS COOL

1. Turn the power off at the main source.

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

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

(1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack.

Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may appear out of alignment if countertop is not level. (2) Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor. (3) Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem. (2) Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (3) Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

(1) Make sure cord/plug is tightly into outlet. (2) Service wiring is not complete. (3) Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

(1) This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among the many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors the internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the current operation and beep continuously (flashing an error code of “F1, F2, F3”, or “F9” in the controller display window. (2) Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/CLEAR to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains, record fault number. Press STOP/CLEAR and contact authorized servicer.

(1) Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light in this owner’s Guide for instructions.

(1) No power to the appliance. Check steps under “Entire Range or Oven Does Not Oper-

ate” in this Before you Call checklist. (2) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.

(1) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used. (2) 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-and medium- weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

(1) Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after spillover. (2) Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

(1) Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements 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 dealer.

(1) Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time. (2) Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See “Cooktop Cleaning - Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models” section under General Cleaning. (3) Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.

(1) Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. “Cooktop Cleaning - Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models” section under General Cleaning.

(1) Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.

(1) Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper 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” in the Electronic Oven Control guide.

(1) A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal, and

the fan may continue to run even after oven is turned off.

(1) Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting the self-clean cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow the steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Electronic Oven Control guide.

(1) Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under “Setting Oven Controls”. (2) Make sure oven is opened to Broil Stop Position. (3) Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between the meat and the element. Preheat broil element. Preheat broil element for searing. (4) Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan. (5) Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking. (6) Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under “Oven Cleaning” in the Electronic Oven Control Guide.

(1) Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under “Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle” in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. (2) Failure to clean bottom, front top or oven, frame or door area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven seal.

(1) Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.

Avoid Transportation Damage to your Range

If you have to move your range into/out of your residence or when moving to a new home, it is suggested that you take the following precautions:

1. Screw in the levelling legs under the range.

2. Remove the racks and other utensils from the oven, and from the lower drawer.

3. Use adhesive tape to firmly secure the door and the drawer to the side panels. Also attach the electric power cord in the same manner.
