IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before
using
this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Q
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 birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposure to such substances.
● The fiberglass insulation
in
self-clean ovens
●
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury.
[f your model has a surface light, you must
recycle the fluorescent light bulb according to
local, state and federal codes.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
o

filters clean to
maintain good venting and to
avoid
grease fires.
Q
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
e
●
Do not use water on grease fries.
4 0 ‘ f’
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn
the controls off. Smother a flaming pan
●
●
on a surface unit by covering the pan
comple~eiy
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or,
if
available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type
fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-
type fire extinguisher.
Do
not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to bum even
though they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other
flammable materials contact the surface units,
areas nearby the surface units or any interior area
of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces
near the opening, crevices around the oven door
and metal trim
palls
above the door.
Remember:
The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
When cooking pork,
follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at
least 170”F.
This assures that,
in the remote possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it
will
be
killed
and the meat
will be safe to eat.

Cooktop and Radiant Surface Units
●
Use proper pan
size—Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the selected
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit
to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of the cookware to
the surface units will also improve efficiency.
*
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings.
Boilovers
cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on
fire,
●
Do
not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken.
Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and
create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately should your
Olass
Cooktop
become broken.
c
*
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop
can
be scratched with items such as sharp
instruments,
rings or other jewelry and rivets on
clothing.
*
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
●
Do
not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop,
even when it is
not being used.
c
Be
careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause bums.
c
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a
container should be turned toward the center
of
the range without extending over the nearby
surface units.
●
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
●
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
●
When
fIaming
foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The
fan,
if operating, may spread
the flame.
c Foods
for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat
to
bubble up and over the sides
of the pan.
●
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying.
Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
●
If a combination of oils or fats
will
be used
in frying,
stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
s
Always heat fat slowly,
and watch as it heats.
●
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
. Clean the cooktop with caution.
If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam bums.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
When the cooktop is cool, use only Cook Top
Cleaning Creme brand cleaner to clean the cooktop.
. Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
●
To
avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface,
do not apply Cook Top Cleaning Creme
to the glass surface when it is hot.
s
After cleaning,
use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove all Cook Top Cleaning Creme residue.

How it Works
Heat travels to
the glas~
surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be
tlat
on the bottom for good cooking results. The
glass
cooktop stays hot enough to
continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the
pan
from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Pans must be made
of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
produced by a magnetic circuit
between
the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
and changes heat settings right
away.

Pan
flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
heat
\ettings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
SURFACE UNIT CONTROLS
At both OFF and H1 positions, there is a
slight
niche
so control “clicks” at those positions: on the word
HI
marks the highest setting; the
lowest
setting is the
word LO. In a quiet kitchen you may hear
s]igh(
“clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating heat
settings selected are being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings always shows a
quicker change than switching to lower settings.
How
to Set the Controls
1. Push the control knob in.
2. Turn either clockwise or
courtterclockwise
to the
desired
heat
setting.
The control must be pushed in to set only from the
OFF position. When the control is in any position
other than
OFF, it may be turned without pushing
it in.
Be sure
you turn the control to OFF when you
finish cooking.

RADIANT SURFACE CLEANING
Glass Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning
Cleaning of glass ceramic
cooktops is
different from
cleaning
a
standard porcelain finish. To maintain and
protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop
followJ
these basic steps.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning
Creme on Glass Ceramic.
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub
a
few drops (less is better) of
Cook
Top
Cleaning Creme onto soiled area
using a
damp
paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until
all
soil
and
creme are removed. Frequent cleaning
leaves
a
protective coating which is essential in
preventing scratches and abrasions.
2. Clean surface with Cook Top Cleaning Cremc
after each use.
For heavy, burned on soil:
1.
Appl~J
a
few
drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme
to the
(cool)
soiled area.

5
-.
Using a
damp paper towel, rub
crerne
into the
burned on
area.
As
with
any burned on spill,
this may require some effort.
Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper. Hold
scraper at a
30°
angle against the ceramic surface,
If
any soil remains, repeat the steps
listed above.
For additional protection, after all soil has been
removed. polish the entire surface with the Cook
Top Cleaning Creme.
Buff with a dry paper towel.
NO”I’E:
. Using a razor scraper
will
not
damage
the
~ur-face
if
the
30” angle
is maintained.
a
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
Do
not use
a
dull
or nicked blade.
. Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.

Baking Pans
Use
the
proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

cookies require this type of pan.
Q
Glass baking dishes also
absorb
heat. When baking
in
,gIaSS baking
dishes, the temperature may need to
be
reduced by
25°F.
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being
placed
to the front
or to the back of the
o~ren.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls
of
the oven. Allow 1- to 1
Y;-inch
space between pans
as well as from the back
of the oven. the door and
the sides. If you need
to
use two shelves, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above
the
other.
Baking Guides
lVhen
using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions
for the best baking results.
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without
sides)
produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked
in a
jelly roll pan (short sides
all
around) may have
darker
edges
and pale or light browning may occur.
Do
not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover
a shelf
with
a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at
a time.

How to Set Delay Start and Automatic Stop
Quick Reminder
1. Press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad.
2. Press the HOUR and MIN. pads to set the
desired length of cooking time.
3. Press the START TIME ON/OFF pad.
4. Press the HOUR and MIN. pads to set
the time of day you want cooking to start.
5. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the
desired temperature.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you program the oven.
You
can
set the oven control to delay-start the
oven, cook for
a
specific length of time and turn off
automatically.
For example: Let’s say it’s
2:00
and dinner time
is shortly after
7:00.
The recipe suggests 3 hours
cooking time at 325”F.

4. Press the HOUR pad until
“4:00”
appears in the
display. The timer is now set to start baking in
2 hours, at
4:00.
5. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the desired
temperature (in this example 325”F.).
The oven is now set to start at
4:00
and cook
for 3 hours at a temperature of 325”F. At the
end of the 3 hour cooking time
(7:00),
the oven
will automatically turn off. When the oven
automatically turns off the AUTOMATIC OVEN
light will flash and the oven will signal. Turn the
oven control to OFF to stop the flashes and signal.
6. Remove the food from the oven. Remember,
even though the oven shuts off automatically,
foods continue cooking after controls are off.
NOTE:
● The low temperature zone of this range (between
WARM and
200”F.)
is available to keep hot
cooked
foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than
two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
●
Foods that spoil easily such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed
to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the growth
of
harmful
bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum
foil
to line your broiler pan
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil
ti,ghtlv
to the grid and cut slits in it
just
like the
grid.
J
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the
broi]er
pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire.
If
you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

A.
Yes.
Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks. the juices fall into the pan,

Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel
wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean
water, rinse and dry.
NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven, however, the shelves will darken
in color. lose their luster and become hard to slide
if
cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the
~rease from
the pan into a proper container. Wash and
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a
soap-
filled or plastic scouring pad.
The enamel grid
und
broiler pan
may
be cleaned in
the self-clean oven. However, to prevent heavy smoke
caused
by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you
must first
clean off
the excess grease.
If
f’ood
has burned on, sprinkle the grid with
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove
burned-on foods.
The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION, FOR PERSONAL SAFETY:
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH
THIS APPLIANCE.
REMOVE HOUSE FUSE OR OPEN
CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE BEGINNING
INSTALLATION.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency,
md
connected to an
individual, properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a circuit breaker or time delay fuse, as
noted on
the rating plate.
Wiring must conform to National Electric Codes.
If the electric service provided does not meet the
above specifications, it is recommended that a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
Because range terminals are not accessible
after
range
is in position, flexible service conduit or cord
must be used.
STEP 1
PREPARE THE OPENING
lk
inch spacing is recommended from the range
to adjacent vertical walls above cooktop surface.
Allow
30
inches minimum clearance between
surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or
metal top cabinet, and 15 inches minimum
between countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall
conform to the installation instructions packed
with that appliance.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching
over heated surface units, cabinet storage space
above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a min. of 5 inches beyond the
bottom of the cabinets. Make sure the
wall
covering, countertops and cabinets around the
range can withstand heat generated by the
range, oven or cooktop up to 200°

PREPARE THE OPENING (cent’d)
Flooring Under the Range
Your range, like many other household
items, is heavy and can
settle
into soft
floor coverings
such
as cushioned vinyl or
carpeting.
When
moving
the range on this type
of flooring, use care, and follow these simple and
inexpensive instructions.
The range should be installed on a 1/4 inch thick
sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends at the front of the
range,
the area that the range will rest on should
be built up with plywood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering. This
will
allow
the range to
be
moved for cleaning or servicing.
STEP 2
PREPARE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Use only a 3-conductor, or if required a
4-
conductor range cord set as noted below. These
cord sets
are
provided with ring type terminals.
The electrical rating
of the
cord must be 125/250
volts
minimum, 40 amperes.
NOTE:
Only a 4-conductor cord is to be used
when
the appliance is installed in a mobile home
or where
local
codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral.
STEP 3
1.
Locate connector block at the bottom rear of
range and remove rear wiring cover.
2. Directly below the connector block is a hole
with a knockout ring for accommodating
condui
fit~ings.
Brackets provided are used to support
the flexible cord strain relief, which must
be
securely attached to the cord set.

STEP 7
LEVELING THE RANGE
The range must be level. Leveling feet are located
at each corner of the base of the range. Remove
the storage drawer or kick panel (depending on
your model) and using channel locks, rotate the
leveling
feet in and out as required to
level
the
range. (For instructions on how to remove and
replace the storage drawer or the kick panel, see
the Cleaning [Jnder the Range section in Care
and Cleaning.) On some models, there are
plastic
covers which may be removed for easy
adjustment (just squeeze and pull).
One
of
the rear leveling feet will engage the
ANTI-TIP bracket (allow for some side to side
adjustment). Allow a minimum clearance of
l/8-
inch between the range and the leveling foot that
is to be installed into the ANTI-TIP bracket.
Check the range for proper installation into the
ANTI-TIP bracket (after the range has been
properly installed) by removing the kick panel or
storage drawer and inspecting the rear leveling
leg,
Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
