Safety Instructions
Operating Instructions
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
For Freestanding Ranges:
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath
the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket.
On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip
the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within
10.2 cm (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.
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. 1 800 561 3344 to receive at no cost. For installation

flaming pan. Turn the controls off Smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by overing the pan completely
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
WARNING
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.
bottoms large enough to cover the surface 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.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.
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 near by surface units.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface
unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back ON as soon
as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure
to turn all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may
result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading
to serious injury or death.
WARNING
WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (some models)
The propuese of the warming drawer is to hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will
grown in food while it is below 60`C (140 F). Do not put
cold food in warming drawer. Do not heat food for
more than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in foodborne illness.
Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or
combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.

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

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Safety Instructions
Check pans for at bottoms by using
a straight edge.
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.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over
the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

Wok Cooking
Troubleshooting Tips
Consumer Support
Use only at-bottomed woks.
We recommend that you use only a flatbottomed 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 buildup 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 tips over.

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

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least

If baking four cake layers at the same time,
place two layers on rack B and two layers on

below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven
may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the
type and quantity of food you are preparing. When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and
pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe
recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines
are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower
element but also from the upper element to cook
food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake
multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses heat
primarily from the rear element but also heat from the
upper and lower elements, along with air movement
from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness.
so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when
multiple racks than what would be expected for a single
rack. To use this mode press the Convection Bake
pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Always
preheat when using this mode.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses
heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements along
with air movement from the convection fan to improve
browning and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary to
convert temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe
suggested time when using this mode or use a meat
probe. To use this mode press the Convection Roast
pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to
the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the
possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center
food below the broil heating element.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by
using Broil Lo.
Broil Hi
The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat
from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi
for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less
done on the interior. To use this mode press the
Broil pad once and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Broil Lo
The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat
from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while
also prodicing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for
thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like
cooked all the way through. To use this mode press
the Broil pad twice and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Warm
To use this mode, press the Warm pad then press
Start. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do
not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is
not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other
than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is also
recommended that food not be kept warm for more
than 2 hours.

Safety Instructions
Oven Interior (non-self-cleanmodels)
Withproper care, the porcelain enamel finish
on the inside of the oven―top, bottom,sides,
back and inside of the door―will stay new-
looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber
gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normallydo the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soap-filledscouring pads may also be used.
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
causeadull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallowglass or
pottery container inacold oven overnight.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen
the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could cause
a short circuit and resultin sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build
up on the temperature sensor―it could cause
the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is
located at the top of the oven.) Carefullywipe
the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor as
a change in its position could affect how
the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of
the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces.
The cleaner candamage these surfaces.
The gasket is designed withagap at the

become displaced on the door, you should
have it replaced.
Cleaning the Oven Door
To clean the inside of the door:
Because the areainside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand.
The area outside the gasket and the door
liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled
or plastic scouring pad, hot water and
detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar
and water solution.
To clean the outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the
top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may also use a glass cleanerto
clean the glass on the outside of the door.
Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When surface is
