To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call

1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

n Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

n Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

n For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

n Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

n Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up

a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

n 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.

n Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer

can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the oven off, or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

n Be sure all packaging materials are

removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

n After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

n Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn 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.

n 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 parts above the door.

n REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

n Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

n Keep the hood and grease filters clean

to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

n Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the lower oven drawer.

n Teach children not to play with the controls

or any other part of the range.

n Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.

n Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and

canned food a safe distance from your range.

n Always keep combustible wall coverings,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.

Use proper pan size–select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the 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 cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

n Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

n Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

n 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 nearby surface units.

n Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

n Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

n Keep an eye on foods being fried at high

or medium high heat settings.

n 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.

n Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat

frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

n If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

n Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. n Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

n Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

n Do not leave any items on the cooktop.

The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

n Use care when touching the cooktop.

The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

n Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.

The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.

n Large scratches or impacts to glass

doors or cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

n 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 glass cooktop become broken.

n Never use the glass cooktop surface as

a cutting board.

n Do not place or store items that can melt

or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.

n Be careful when placing spoons or other

stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.

n 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 burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

n When the cooktop is cool, use only the

recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.

n To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.

n After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel

to remove all cleaning cream residue.

n Read and follow all instructions and warnings

on the cleaning cream labels.

n Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop

can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

n The purpose of the warm setting of the lower

oven drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked using the warm setting of the lower oven drawer.

n Do not use the lower oven drawer to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

n Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food or combustible materials in the drawer.

n Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings

in or near your lower oven drawer.

n Do not warm food in the lower oven drawer

for more than two hours.

n Do not touch the heating element or the

interior surface of the lower oven drawer.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the lower oven drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

n Use care when opening the lower oven

drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

n Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

n Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Restaurant Quality Steak, Easy as 1, 2, 3:

Bring steak to room temperature. NOTE: Always use safe food practices when handling meat.

Season both sides to taste and coat with olive oil or similar.

Preheat the oven to BAKE at 425°, with the oven rack in center position “C”.

Place your Lodge®cast iron griddle on the designated area of the cooktop and then preheat the griddle on the Hi setting for 5 minutes.

Sear steak on each side for 3 minutes. NOTE: There will be “smoke”; ensure there is proper ventilation.

Remove your Lodge®cast iron griddle from the cooktop and place directly in the oven with the steak still on the griddle.

CAUTION:The griddle will be VERY HOT!

Insert the meat probe that came with your range into the center of the steak, making sure that the tip of the probe is in the center of the steak.

Plug the probe into the outlet (located on the upper front side of the oven), slide the rack back into the oven and close the door.

Press PROBE on your control, enter the desired internal temp shown above, and press START.

10.

Allow steak to finish cooking in the oven. The range control will beep and turn off when the steak reaches the desired internal temperature.

NOTES:

n After searing, your steak could possibly already be at the desired temperature, depending

on size, cut and desired doneness.

n For thinner steaks it may not be possible to achieve a Rare or Medium Rare doneness.

11.

Remove the steak from the oven, and let it rest on a baker’s rack (or equivalent) for the specified time.

By first searing your meat with a very high heat, you are creating a browning reaction known as the Maillard Reaction. This Reaction unlocks the fuller, more intense flavor from the meat, which occurs when cooking meat at a high heat.

Using the surface units.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Set

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.

At both OFF and HI the control

clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating

the control is keeping the power level you set.

A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will glow when any radiant element is turned on, and will remain on until the surface is cooled to approximately 150°F.

Indicator light will:

n come on when the unit is turned on

or hot to the touch.

n stay on even after the unit is turned off. n glow until the unit is cooled to

approximately 150°F.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

Dual Surface Unit Control Knob

The dual surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware you are using.

To use the small surface unit, turn the control knob counterclockwise to the small surface unit settings.

To use the large surface unit, turn the control knob clockwise to the large surface unit settings.

Using the COOK-WARM Zone

The COOK-WARM ZONE, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the COOK-WARM ZONE could result in food-borne illness.

Push and turn the control knob to any desired setting.

For best results, all foods on the COOK-WARM ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the COOK-WARM

ZONE, as cookware and plates will be hot.

CAUTION: Do not warm food

on the COOK-WARM ZONEfor more than two hours.

NOTE: The surface cook-warm zone will not glow red like the cooking elements.

A HOT surface indicator light will glow when the glass surface is hot and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch. Lower settings may not heat the glass surface enough to cause the HOT surface indicator light to come on.

A COOK-WARM ZONE indicator light will glow when the unit is on.

n Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.

Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

n Use only cookware recommended for

top-of-range cooking.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom. To prevent burns from steam or heat,

use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball®and Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Do not use round bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Temperature Limiter

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if:

n The pan boils dry. n The pan bottom is not flat. n The pan is off center. n There is no pan on the unit.

Using the surface units.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

About the radiant surface units…

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE: On models with light colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

n Water stains (mineral deposits) are

removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.

n Use of window cleaner may leave

an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.

n Don’t store heavy items above

the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

n Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Selecting types of cookware. geappliances.ca

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

NOTE: The Lodge®cast iron griddle provided with the range is specifically designed for use with the radiant cooktop. Do not use any other griddles on the radiant cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The racks have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

NOTE: The rack is not designed to slide out at the special low rack (R) position.

Upper Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation— they may become hot.

n Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop

may become hot if left too close to the vent.

n Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

n Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

n Metal items will become very hot if they are

left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

The oven has a special low rack (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when cooking a large turkey. The rack is not designed to slide out at this position.

Using the upper oven.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two racks, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2″ between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Do not use aluminum foil to catch spillovers when using the CircuWave fan. The foil will be sucked toward the convection fan.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on a broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

Using the convection oven. geappliances.ca

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOTleave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking.

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

n Preheat the oven. See the Using

the Oven– Preheating and Pan Placement section.

n Ideal for foods cooked on multiple racks. n Good for large quantities of baked foods. n Good results with cookies, biscuits,

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.

Convection Roast

n Good for large tender cuts of meat,

uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on rack position (A).

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use a broiler pan and grid for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

n Place the rack in rack position (A).

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time than with regular heat.

NOTE:

To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions with a pause in between. This is normal.

Auto Recipe™Conversion

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When using CONVECTION BAKE, the oven will automatically convert the oven temperature from regular baking to Convection Bake temperatures.

Using the number pads, enter the temperature recommended in the recipe.

Touch the START pad. The display will show the temperature

you entered from your recipe. The oven will automatically convert it to the convection cooking temperature.

Touch the OFF pad when baking is finished.

n Use pan size recommended in the recipe. n Some package instructions for frozen

casseroles, main dishes or baked goods have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature, for regular baking, on the package.

When convection baking with only 1 rack, follow the rack positions recommended in the Using the Oven section.

Using the convection oven.

Multi-Rack Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.

Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quick breads give very good results with multi-rack baking.

To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE

MULTI.

When baking larger foods on 3 racks, place one rack in the 2nd (A) position, one on the 4th (C) position and the third rack in the 6th (E) position.

When baking cookies, place the racks in the 3rd (B), 4th (C) and 5th (D) positions.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/ 1 RACK pad once for multi-rack

convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or more racks) at the same time in convection bake. See the Multi-Rack Baking section for more information. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad twice for one rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on only one rack in convection bake.

Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad for convection roasting.

Touch the number pads to set the desired oven temperature. Remember to adjust baking temperature accordingly. See the Adapting Recipes section.

Touch the START pad.

To change the oven temperature, touch the CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat the changing temperature, starting at 100°F, will be displayed. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

Touch the OFF pad when finished.

NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off.

The fan will not start until the preheat temperature is reached.

In convection bake modes, for maximum cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be used, when oven is below 400°F.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

n Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

n Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat

Touch the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.

Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit number shows in the display.

Touch BAKE once to decrease (-) the oven temperature, or twice to increase (+).

The oven temperature can be adjusted up as much as 35°F or down as much as 35°F. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15°F, touch 1 and 5.

When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

NOTE: The thermostat adjustment for Baking will also affect Convection Baking or Convection Roasting.

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Care and cleaning of the range. geappliances.ca

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Lodge®Cast Iron Griddle

Rinse with hot water (do not use soap), and dry thoroughly.

Before cooking, prepare the surface with cooking spray or vegetable oil.

After cooking, clean the griddle with a stiff brush and hot water. Using soap is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used.

Towel dry immediately and apply a light coat of cooking spray or vegetable oil while the griddle is still warm.

Store in a cool, dry place. Do not wash in a dishwasher.

Griddle Precautions:

n If something has spilled under the griddle,

it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

n Do not allow grease to accumulate

under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle as soon as it is cool. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

n Do not place your griddle in the microwave. n Always turn off all surface units before

removing the griddle. Use caution when handling a hot griddle.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Protecting

STAINLESSSTEEL has a reputation for withstanding tough abuse for years. This is a key reason why it is so popular with the food service industry.

However, stainless steel appliances can have surface imperfections, discolorations or blemishes that consumers with a critical eye notice and find unattractive in the home. These discolorations or blemishes can be caused by something as simple as leaving fingerprint smudges on the stainless steel surface overnight.

For stainless steel appliances where blemishes are prone to show on the surface, we recommend APPLYING A COATOF CERAMA BRYTE

Stainless Steel Cleaning Polish & Conditioner (purchased separately—follow instructions).

This will help you to maintain the brightness and appearance of your stainless steel appliance.

Cleaning Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch

the surface.

n In order to avoid any discolorations and/or

grease stains, we recommend cleaning and removing any spills, spots and grease from the range after use.

n It is important to use a soft cloth or paper

towel every time the range is cleaned to avoid any scratches.

Read carefully the instructions on the back of the Brightener (included with your range) for better results.

Cleaning Instructions:

Wash using warm, soapy water: Wet soft cloth or paper towel

(avoid using excessive water). Wipe the surface in the direction

of the grain (following the steel lines). Rinse and wring out a soft cloth or paper

towel and dry the range. Apply a degreaser that does not contain

sodium hydroxide or Stainless Steel Cleaner (follow instructions).

Apply Cerama Bryte

Stainless Steel

Brightener (follow instructions). Repeat steps 2–4 as many times as needed.

Follow these instructions for any Stainless Steel surface on your range.

DO NOT USE the following products for cleaning the Cooktop or Stainless Steel parts:

• Caustic Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) or cleaners containing this chemical

• Hard or Steel Wool Pads

• Abrasive Materials or Chemicals

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door.

Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure the oven is completely cool.

To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

To clean the inside of the door:

n Do not allow excess water to run into

any holes or slots in the door.

n Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.

n The area outside the gasket can

be cleaned with a soap-filled plastic scouring pad.

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. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

To clean the outside of the door:

n Use soap and water to thoroughly clean

the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

n Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato

sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.

n Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing

powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket— it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing.

NOTES:

n Do not wash the knobs in an automatic

dishwasher.

n Do not use any chemical or abrasive

substances to clean the knobs—they could be permanently damaged.

Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.

CERAMA BRYTE®Cleaning Pads for

Ceramic Cooktops . . . . . . .# WX10X350

Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

Wearing an oven mitt: a. Use a single-edge razor blade

scraper (CERAMA BRYTE

Ceramic Cooktop Scraper) to move the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.

b. Remove the spill with

paper towels.

Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.

Don’t use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely removed.

NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass surface has already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Our testing shows that if you are cooking high sugar mixtures such as jelly or fudge and have a spillover, it can cause permanent damage to the glass surface unless the spillover is immediately removed.

Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface.

These marks are removable using the CERAMA BRYTE®Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner with the CERAMA BRYTE

Cleaning Pad for Ceramic Cooktops.

If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

WARNING: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.

Metal Marks and Scratches

To Order Parts

Glass surface—potential for permanent damage.

To clean the cooktop seal around the edges of the glass, lay a wet cloth on it

for a few minutes, then wipe clean with nonabrasive cleaners.

Electric Ranges

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

•

IMPORTANT — Save these instructions

for local inspector’s use.

•

IMPORTANT — Observe all governing

codes and ordinances.

• Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these

instructions with the Consumer.

• Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions for

future reference.

• Skill level – Installation of this appliance requires

basic mechanical skills.

• Completion time – 1 to 3 hours

• Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.

• Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the Warranty.

WARNING — This appliance must be

properly grounded.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. Electricity to the range can be disconnected at the outlet without moving the range if the outlet is in the preferred location (remove lower drawer).

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that sticks out at least 5″ beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop must be no deeper than 13″.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the range can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F) generated by the range.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

WARNING — Before beginning the

installation, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

WARNING — To reduce the risk

of tipping, the appliance must be secured by properly installed Anti-Tip bracket packed with this appliance.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip device WB2X7909.

WARNING —

• All ranges can tip

• Injury to persons could result

• Install Anti-Tip bracket packed

with range

• See Installation Instructions

If you pull the range out and away from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip bracket is engaged when the range is pushed back against the wall.

REMOVE SHIPPING MATERIALS

Remove packaging materials. Failure to remove packaging materials could result in damage to the appliance.

PREPARE THE OPENING

Allow 11⁄2″ spacing from the range to adjacent vertical walls above the cooktop surface.

Allow 30″ minimum clearance between the surface units and the bottom of unprotected wood or metal top cabinet, and 15″ minimum between the 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.

If cabinet storage is installed, reduce the risk by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a min. of 5″ 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°F.

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, it should be installed on a 1/4″ 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.

Installation Instructions

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.

• Be sure power is in service to the building.

• Note (on some models): If the clock flashes “bAd” and then “LinE” with a loud tone, the neutral connection to the range is not wired correctly. Check the terminal block connections and/or house wiring to correct.

• Check to be sure that all packing materials and tape have been removed. This will include tape on metal panel under control knobs (if applicable), adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failure to remove these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has been turned on and surfaces have heated.

• Check to make sure that the rear leveling leg is fully inserted into the Anti-Tip bracket and that the bracket is securely installed.

OPERATION CHECKLIST

• Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the unit off when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage.

• Check to make sure the Clock (on models so equipped) display is energized. If a series of horizontal red lines appear in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections. If change is made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red lines appear.

• Be sure all range controls are in the OFF position before leaving the range.

LEVEL THE RANGE

Install the oven racks in the oven and position the range where it will be installed.

Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the oven racks. If using a spirit level, take two readings—with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.

The rear leveling legs must be adjusted prior to moving the range into position. They can be adjusted from the bottom at the back of the range.

Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.

Replace the drawer or panel.
