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, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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

WB2X7909. Make sure the device is installed and engaged properly.

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.

WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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 using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

■ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

■ Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■ Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

■ Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.

■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.

■ CAUTION : Items of interest to children should not

be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ 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.

■ 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 in place of pot holders.

■ 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.

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.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

■ 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.

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

■ Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

■ Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.

■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.

■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range.

■ Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

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.

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.

■ Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

■ When preparing flaming foods under the vent hood, turn the fan on.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Do not leave plastic or flammable items on the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close to the vent.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS (all models)

To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.

■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.

■ Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

■ Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

COIL SURFACE UNITS

(on some models)

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

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

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Do not stand on the glass cooktop. The weight may cause the top to break.

■ Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage the cooktop and the pan.

■ 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.

■ Large scratches or impacts to cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■ Do not lift the cooktop on models with radiant surface units. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS

(on some models)

■ 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.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■ 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.

■ 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 use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

OVEN

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 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.

■ 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.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

■ Take the shelves out of the oven before you begin

the self-clean cycle or they may discolor.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

(on some models)

■ The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.

■ Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or combustible materials in the drawer.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more than two hours.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven drawer pan in the upper oven.

■ Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough

to burn.

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

■ Use care when opening the 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.

■ 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.

WARMING DRAWER (on some models)

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 it is recommended that these simple and inexpensive instructions be followed.

Installing

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.

Leveling

Leveling screws are located on each corner of the base of the range. Remove the bottom drawer and you can level the range on an uneven floor with the use of a nutdriver or channel locks.

To remove the drawer, pull the drawer out all the way, tilt up the front and take it out. To replace the drawer, insert glides at back of the drawer beyond stop on the range glides. Lift drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let the front of drawer down, then push in to close.

One of the rear leveling screws will engage the Anti-Tip device. Allow for some side to side adjustment. Allow a minimum clearance of 1/8″ between the range and the leveling screw that is to be installed into the Anti-Tip device.

PREPARATION

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

OFF CENTER

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

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

On glass cooktops, HOT 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:

■ come on when the unit is hot to the touch.

■ stay on even after the unit is turned off.

■ glow until the unit is cooled to approximately 150°F.

A surface units ON indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.

NOTE: The surface units ON indicator light may glow between the surface control settings of LO and OFF, but there is no power to the surface units.

Indicator Lights

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 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 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.

Using the radiant surface units. (glass cooktops only)

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:

■ The pan boils dry.

■ The pan bottom is not flat.

■ The pan is off center.

■ There is no pan on the unit.

Temperature Limiter (glass cooktops only)

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

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

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Surface Cookware Tips (electric coil models only)

Surface Cookware Tips (glass models only)

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.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Selecting types of cookware.

Not over 1 inch.

1″

Selecting types of cookware.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

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. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Wok Cooking (electric coil models only)

Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures. Keep range and hood clean from grease.

Deep Fat Frying

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. 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.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Before you begin…

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

The shelves have stops, 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 shelf out until it stops.

On some models, the bake heating element is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking.

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

To replace, place the end of the shelf (stoplocks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in

the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the shelf in the lowest position (A).

Using the oven.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

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

Aluminum Foil

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.

On some models, the control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 10–15 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 shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 1

⁄2″ between pans, from

the front, back and sides of the wall.

Do not place foods directly on the oven floor.

Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.

Follow suggested shelf positions in the

Broiling Guide.

If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without overbrowning them.

Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for

HI Broil.

To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.

Touch the START pad.

When broiling is finished, touch the

CLEAR/OFF pad.

How to Set a Delayed Start and Automatic Stop (on models with pads only)

The temperature probe has a skewerlike probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.

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 the 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.

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the food and outlet.

■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.

■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

■ Do not store the probe in the oven.

Using the probe. (on some models)

How to Set the Oven For Roasting When Using the Probe

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave 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 multiple shelves.

■ Good for large quantities of baked foods.

■ Good results with cookies, biscuits, 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.

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 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.

Using the convection oven. (on some models)

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.

Roasting rack

Grid

Broiler pan

Post

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25°F.

No need to preheat when cooking longer than 15 minutes.

■ 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.
