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.
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.
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.
4
• 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
CAUTION
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all
controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
• 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 hoods frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS
CAUTION
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

front of rack and slide out.
To replace - fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls.
Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into
place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
CAUTION
• Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will
become very hot which can cause burns.
• 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.
Types of oven racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven
rack styles shown.
flat handle
oven rack
flat
oven rack
offset
oven rack
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than
normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible locations between the standard positions.
Fig. 2
Recommended rack positions (See Fig.2)
Food type Position
Broiling meats See broil
Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits & muffins 2 or 3
Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread
and casseroles 1 or 2
Small cuts of meat or poultry 1 or 2
Turkey, roast or ham 1
Air circulation in the oven
For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
Operating oven light (some models)
The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the
oven door is opened. Press the oven light switch located on
the upper left control panel to turn the interior oven light ON
and OFF whenever the oven door is closed.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Surface indicator light
Your range is equipped with one
or more surface indicator lights
located on the panel just above
the oven door.
The surface indicator light will glow when one or more
surface elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this
indicator light when finished surface cooking on the cooktop
is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned
OFF.
Use proper cookware
The size and type of cookware
used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
Be sure to follow the
recommendations for using
proper cookware as illustrated
in Figs. 1 & 2. 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 Fig. 1).
Fig. 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).
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.
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).
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does not
tilt cookware. Cookware is
well balanced.
• Cookware size matches the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size of
the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match cookware
bottom to element
diameter.
• Curved and warped pan
bottoms.
• Cookware overhangs
element by more than
1/2” (1.27 cm).
• Cookware is smaller than
element.
• Cookware weight is not
balanced.
Fig. 2
• 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 setting when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking elements at the same time. This can cause
uneven heating results.

CARE & CLEANING
Surface elements and drip bowls
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
together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently

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

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 cookware
sliding off the element.
Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface elements under ANY circumstances.

CARE & CLEANING
Removing and replacing the lift-off oven door
CAUTION
The oven door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the
oven door flat with the inside of the door facing down.
To remove oven door
1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor-Fig.
1).
2. Remove 2 screws located on the inside of the oven door
liner (See A Fig. 2).
3. Insert the 2 screws into the door hinge holes located on
the side of the hinge arm, one into each hinge (See B
Fig. 2).
4. Close oven door until the door stops, (do not force the
door to close any further). The placement of these
screws should keep door open in about a 45 degree
position.
5. Grasp oven door firmly on both sides and slide door up
and off hinges at the same angle (See Fig. 3).
6. To clean oven door, follow the instructions provided
listed in the cleaning chart under “oven door”.
To replace oven door
1. Be sure the hinge arms remain at the 45 degree angle
position. Be sure the screws are still locking the hinge
arms from moving. If the screws fall out of the hinge
holes, the hinge(s) may snap back against the oven
frame and could pinch fingers or chip the porcelain
finish on the oven front frame.
2. Hold door at the sides near the top while resting the
lower front of door on your knee. Insert the door
channels at the bottom of door over the door hinges,
(See Fig. 3).
3. Allow the door to slide down into the door hinges
evenly at the same 45 degree angle. The hinge arms
should be inserted into the bottom corners as far as
they can go.
4. Open door completely (horizontal with floor) and
remove both screws from holes in door hinges.
5. Reinstall the 2 screws into the door liner (See C Fig. 2).
6. If the door is not in alignment with the oven frame,
remove door and repeat the above steps.

Special door care instructions - Most oven doors
contain glass that can break. Read the following
recommendations:
• Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are
fully in place.
• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
• Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may
weaken its structure causing an increased risk of
breakage at a later time.

Problem Solution
Poor baking results.
Appliance 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Solutions to common problems BEFORE YOU CALL
Entire appliance does not operate.
Oven portion of appliance does not operate.
Oven light does not work.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent.
• 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 instructions “Entire appliance does not operate” in this
checklist.
• Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see “Replacing the oven light” in Care & Cleaning
section.
• Incorrect setting. Follow broil 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. 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 follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls section.
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 corrosion.
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 of cookware extends beyond surface element and touches cooktop surface. This can
cause high enough temperatures to discolor drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type.
Pan sizes should match the size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased
from your appliance dealer.
