All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-T ip device supplied.

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the kick panel or storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WARNING

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

IMPORT ANT 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 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. If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

WHEN COOKING PORK…

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.

■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.

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.

REMEMBER :

The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

Page 8

■Stand away from the

range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Do not heat unopened

food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■Keep the oven vent

unobstructed.

■Keep the oven free

from grease buildup.

■Place the oven shelf in

the desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

■Pulling out the shelf

to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■When using cooking

or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■Do not use the oven

to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■Do not use the oven

for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

■Do not leave paper

products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

■Do not clean the door

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

■Clean only parts listed

in this Owner’s Manual.

■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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

■Before self-cleaning

the oven, remove the broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■Be sure to wipe up

excess spillage before starting the selfcleaning operation.

■If the self-cleaning

mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Page 10

■Never leave the surface

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

■Avoid scratching the

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

■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.

■Do not operate the

halogen/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.

■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.

■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 burns.

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.

■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.

■Always heat fat slowly,

and watch as it heats.

■Use a deep fat

thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

■Always turn the surface

units off before removing cookware.

■When flaming foods

are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

■Keep an eye on foods

being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

■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.

Page 12

■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.

■When the cooktop is

cool, use only the recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.

■To avoid possible

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

■After cleaning, use a

dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.

■Read and follow all

instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

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

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.

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

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass surface when the surface is cool.

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

■

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.

■

Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.

■

Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

■

Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

Halogen units have radiant coils in the center that do not glow as brightly as the outer halogen coils.

Some cooktops have both radiant and halogen surface units. This is how they differ.

■

Halogen units are much brighter than the radiant units. Radiant units have a dull red glow.

■

Halogen units hum louder than radiant units when they are first turned on.

■

Halogen and radiant units cycle on and off frequently. This is normal. You will notice the cycling more on the halogen units because of their brightness.

■

Halogen units click when they cycle on and off. Radiant units do not. This is due to the different switches used on halogen units.

■

Radiant coils take about 10 seconds longer to glow than halogen units.

Differences Between Halogen and Radiant Units

Dual Surface Unit Switch

To use the small (6 inch) surface unit, push in the left portion of the

COIL SIZE

switch next to the control knob.

To use the large (9 inch) surface unit, push in the right portion of the

COIL SIZE

switch.

The right front 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.

Every halogen and 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:

■

The pan boils dry.

■

The pan bottom is not flat.

■

The pan is off center.

■

There is no pan on the unit.

Operating InstructionsSafety Information

Selecting types of cookware.

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

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 CastIron:

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.

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.

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

Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the probe. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.

Insert the probe into the meat up to the point marked off with your finger. It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.

No more than 2 inches of the probe, not counting the handle, should be left exposed outside the meat.

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 or joint.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles. When cooking fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

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

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.

How to set the oven for roasting when using the probe.

Insert the probe into the meat.

Plug the probe into the outlet on the oven wall. Make sure it’s pushed all the way in. Close the oven door. Press the

PROBE

pad.

The display will flash PROBE and the oven control will signal if the probe is inserted into the outlet, but the oven is not programmed for the probe.

Press the +or –pad until the desired internal probe temperature is displayed. Press the

BAKE

pad.

Press the

or –pad. The last oven set temperature appears in the display. Continue pressing until the desired oven temperature is displayed.

When the oven starts to heat, the words

BAKE ON

and the roasting temperature you set will be in the display. After a few seconds, the words

LO PROBE

will replace

the roasting temperature in the display. After the internal temperature of the meat reaches

100°F., the changing internal temperature will be shown in the display.

When the internal temperature of the meat reaches the number you have set, the probe and the oven turn off and the oven control signals. To stop the signal, press the

CLEAR/OFF

pad. Use hot pads to remove the probe from the food. Do not use tongs to pull on it—they might damage it.

To change the oven temperature during the Roast cycle, press the

BAKE

pad and then the +or –pad to get

the new temperature.

■

If the probe is removed from the food before the final

temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the display will flash until the probe is removed from the oven.

■

You can use the timer even though you cannot use

timed oven operations.

Using the convection oven.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DONOTleave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

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

Convection Bake

■

Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on all 3 shelves.

■

Good for large quantities of baked foods.

■

Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

Heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly, over and around the food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

Convection Roast

■

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Heat comes from the top heating element. 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. Using the roasting rack provided, 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 the lowest shelf position (A) on a shelf.

When you are convection roasting it is important that you use the broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters. Place the meat on the special roasting rack. The rack holds the meat. The rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

■Place the shelf in the lowest shelf position (A).

■Place the grid on the broiler pan and put the roasting

rack over them making sure the posts on the roasting rack fit into the holes in the broiler pan.

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 with convection heat.

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven. Recipe conversion is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

When roasting, reduce normal roasting time by 25%.

When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25°F.

No need to preheat when cooking longer than 15 minutes.

■

For more information on adapting recipes, see the

Convection Cookbook.

■

Use pan size recommended.

■

Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main

dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

Adapting Recipes…

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.

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.

■

Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.

■

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.

Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on 2 or 3 shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

When baking on 3 shelves, divide the oven into thirds by placing the offset shelf in the second (B) shelf position and the straight shelves in first (A) and fourth (D) shelf position.

For 2-shelf baking, place the straight shelves in the A and C positions.

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Using the oven section.

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, and 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, have 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.

Prepare the Opening

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

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

If cabinet storage is installed, reduce 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.

Prepare for Electrical Connection

Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electric Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.

When installing an electric range in new construction follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire connection.

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1

⁄8″diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or when local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral. If conduit is being used, go to Step 6 or 7.

Power Cord Strain Relief Installation

Remove the lower rear range wiring cover to expose the connector block and bracket.

Remove the knockout ring (1

⁄8″) located on bracket directly below the connector. To remove the knockout, use a pair of pliers to bend the knockout ring away from the bracket and twist until ring is removed.

Assemble the strain relief in the hole. Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attach the cord terminals to the connector block. If tabs are present at the end of the winged strain relief, they can be removed for better fit.

NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a strain relief.
