Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or

Heating the Room.

• Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units or in

the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items,

such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near
the range.

• Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF

THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements may
be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these

areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and

window.

• Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let

clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the fire

with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-

type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may
catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth

instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of pressure
may cause container to burst and result in injury.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
COOKTOP

• Knowwhich 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if
equipped)--Stand to the side of the range when opening the door
of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with

coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near

the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot

use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating

elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before
moving.

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

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.

Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any
part of the oven.

• Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

•The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another
weIFventilated room.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each
surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

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

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.

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 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

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:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings inor around any
part of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• 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 do not have to beremoved. If they are not removed during the
Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.

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.

The Bake element is located in the lower oven cavity (See illustration at
left).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. Remove the Bottom Rack before raising the element. Be careful not

to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

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

ifthese elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.

11

Starting the Self-Clean Cycle

For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for heavier soils. NOTE: The
kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventitlation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st Self-Clean
cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st Self-Clean cycle.

To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:

1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

2. Press _. " "appears in the display.

3. Press the A or V once. "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle. To change to a 2 hour cycle press V -
"2:00" appears in the display.

As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the "LOCK" indicator light
will flash. DO NOT open the oven door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the oven door to lock).

4. "CLn" will appear in the display during the Self-Clean cycle and the "LOCK" light will glow until the Self-Cleaning cycle
is complete or cancelled and the oven temperature has cooled.

When the Self-Clean Cycle has Completed:

1. The time of day _r__End__will appear in the display wind_w and the "_lean__and __L__K__light wi_lc_ntinue t_ gl_w.

2. Once the oven has cooled down for about l HOUR and the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.

3. If "End" is in the display and the Clean indicator light remains ON, press _. The time of day will appear in the
display.

NOTE: When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle

If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a Self-Cleaning cycle:

1. Press _.

2. Once the oven has cooled down for about l HOUR and the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.

3. Restart the Self-Clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.

[_ To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of

the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and avoid

possible burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Aluminum (Trim Pieces) & Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

Glass, Painted and Plastic Control Knobs,
Body Parts, and Decorative Trim

Forgeneral cleaning, use hot, soapywater and acloth. Formore difficult soils and
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.

Stainless Steel, Chrome Control Panel,

be removed.

Porcelain Enamel Broiler Pan and Insert,
Door Liner, Body Parts, Warmer Drawer

(ifequipped)

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with
a 1:1 solution of clearwater 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 asoap-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

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 baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack
positions).

Oven Door

To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT
immerse the door in water.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on self cleaning models, which is essential fora good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

Care&Cleaning

Surface Elements and Drip Bowls- Surface elements can 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 offthe next time the element is used.

Be sure the range is cool

before removing elements or drip bowls.
Be careful not to bend terminal ends

when replacing elements after cleaning.

NOT drop or bend the range top when
raising or lowering. This could damage

the surface.

Never immerse a surface element in water.

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 together just enough to clear the cooktop.

2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end
out from the terminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip

from the drip bowl.
To Clean 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 1gallon ofwater). A nylon scrubber may be used after
soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as 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.

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.

3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up 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.

To Raise the Top for Cleaning

1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in a
raised position. Only lift the top far enough to allow the support rods to snap
into place.

2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.

3. To lower the top, gently push back on each rod to release the notched
support. Hold the range top and slide the lift rods down into the range frame.

Changing the Oven Light (some models)

On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened. Some models have a
switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The oven light is located at the rear of the oven and
is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven

is in use.

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven

light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
To replace the oven light:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.
Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.
Replace bulb with a new40 watt appliance bulb.
Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.

Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and Minute Timer in this Use
& Care Manual.

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (some models)

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of
stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the Care & Cleaning section in this Use & Care Manual.

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review this list. tt may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that

are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
OCCURRENCE

Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for

service.

Surface element too hot or not hot
enough.

Surface element does not heat.

POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION

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 oven rack is level.

Be sure floor islevel and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are

square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make

appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over

carpet.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element

to be used.
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 ofthe material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-weight pans
heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not
Operate" in this Before You Call Checklist.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element
to be used.

Entire appliance does not operate.

Element not making contact in block. Follow instructions under"Surface Elements
and Drip Bowls" in the Care & Cleaning section.

Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.

The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven.
Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized

servicer.

broiling. Care Manual for instructions.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls.
Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance

between the meat and the element. Preheat 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.
Insert on broiler panwrong side up and grease not draining. Always place insert on

the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.
Grease has built upon oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessarywhen broiling

frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

Solutions to Common Problems (cont.)

OCCURRENCE POSSIBLECAUSE/SOLUTION

Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.

Drip bowls turning color or distorted.

Oven control beeps and displays any F
code error (for example Fll).

Poor baking results.

Self-Clean cycle does not work.

Soil not completely removed after Self-
Clean cycle.

Flames inside oven or smoking from
vent.

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 a spillover

Normal environ ment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls
as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

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 ofthis type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size
of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer.

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the
display and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. Iffault recurs, record fault number.

Press CLEAR/OFF and call your dealer or authorized service agent for assistance.
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 Your Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Self-Cleaning section.
Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting

a Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Self-Cleaning section of this manual.
Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven 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 a nylon scrubber. Be
careful not to damage the oven gasket.

Your oven will most likely smoke after a spillover has occurred ... this is normal,
especially for high oven temperatures, pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on
bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting cycle. You can also
set the Self-Cleaning cycle for the maximum clean time. Ifflames or excessive
smoke are present, stop the self-clean cycle and follow steps under "Stopping or
Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Self-Cleaning section.
