Important Safety Instructions

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT 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 cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.

• The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning 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.

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

• Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this guide.

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

accordance with the provided installation
instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing

should be referred to a qualified technician.

WARNING

—
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping
of the range, attach it to the wall or

floor by installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied. Make sure the chain fits
securely into the slot in the bracket.

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 guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.

• Have the installer show you the location of the

circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.

• 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.

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

• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the range.

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

• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OFA 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. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot
surface unit or heating element.

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

(continued next page)

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

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

• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER

FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.

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

• 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 foam­type fire extinguisher.

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

• Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to 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, the
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,
the edges of the door window and metal trim
parts above the door.

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

• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.

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

Oven

• Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. The 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 duct unobstructed.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be

handled when hot, do not let a pot holder contact
the heating elements in the oven.

• 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.

• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out
of the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the

broiler pan can catch fire next time you use the pan.

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

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use. Do not

store flammable materials in an oven or near the
surface units.

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,

except as suggested in this guide. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.

Important Safety Instructions

Self-Cleaning Oven

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door

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

• 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.

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

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

• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.

Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

Surface Cooking Units

• 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 the cookware to the 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.

• Be sure the drip pans and vent ducts 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 guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the range.

• Never clean the cooktop surface when it
is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes
and wet cloths could cause steam burns if used
on a hot surface.

• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings

on or near your range.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop cooking; 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 unit controls off before
removing cookware.

• Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating
of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures.

• 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.

• Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not
clean the surface units in the oven.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the
sides of the pan.

• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause

spillovers when food is added.

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats

melt slowly.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

COOKTOPCOMP ARISON

Type of Cooktop Description How It Works
Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best

tubing containing cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of
electric resistance warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
wire suspended heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
over a drip pan. continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on
(Glass Ceramic) under a glass- the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
Cooktop ceramic cooktop. continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if

you want cooking to stop.

Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is

induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
under a glass and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
surface. off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good

disk sealed to the cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
cooktop surface. disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan

from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but

gas burners use pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
either LP gas heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
or natural gas.

Your new cooktop has electric coil surface units.
If you are used to cooking with gas burners or other
types of electric cooktops, you will notice some
differences when you use electric coils.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the
differences between electric coil surface units and any
other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

SURFACE COOKING

Your surface units and controls are designed to give
you an infinite choice of heat settings for surface unit
cooking. At both OFF and HI the control “clicks”
into position.

When cooking in a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight
“clicking” sounds—an indication that the heat
settings you selected are being maintained.

Switching to higher heat settings always results in a
quicker heat change than switching to lower settings.

Cooktop Comparison Surface Cooking

How to Set the Controls

1. Grasp the control

knob and push it in.

2. Turn the knob either

clockwise or counterclockwise
to the desired heat setting.

The control must be pushed in to set only from
the OFF position. When the control is in any
position other than OFF, it may be turned without
pushing it in.

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

The surface unit “ON” indicator light will glow
when ANYheat on any surface unit is on.

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to boil.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and

MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on
large amounts of food.

MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on
large amounts of food.

Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in covered pan.

LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving temperature
of most foods. At LO settings, melt chocolate, butter
on a small unit.

NOTE: At HI and Medium High, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS

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.

Use of these types of woks,
without the support ring in
place, is dangerous because
the wok is unstable. With the
ring in place, heat will be trapped inside the ring
and may cause damage to the porcelain cooktop.
Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You
could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Cookware

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.

Right

Wrong

Not over 1″ Over 1″

Deep Fat Frying

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

HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on surface units only.

In surface cooking, the use of pots extending more
than one inch beyond the edge of the surface unit’s
drip pan is not recommended. However, when canning
with a water-bath or pressure canner, large-diameter
pots may be used. This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER POTS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN
WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all types
of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than
boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm
the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

Observe Following Points in Canning

1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the

surface unit. If your range or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,
use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.

2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use

canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they don’t make
enough contact with the surface unit and take too
long to boil water.

RIGHT WRONG

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from

reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner,
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Ball and Kerr, and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.

4. Remember that canning is a process that generates

large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may
take longer than expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed.

The process time will be shortened by:

(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating

of large quantities of water.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand

how to set them properly.

2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.

Take a practice run at removing and replacing them
properly to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over the information and tips that follow.

4.

Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially
during the first weeks of using your new range.

NOTE:

• You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in
a new oven and will disappear in a short time. To
speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for 4 hours.
See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.

• Acooling fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Special Features of Your Oven Control Using Your Oven

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A(bottom), B, C and D (top).

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting, and Broiling sections.

D

C

B

A

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that,
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out of the oven
and will not tilt when you are removing food from
them or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove the shelf

from the oven, pull the
shelf toward you, tilt
the front end upward,
and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place the
shelf on the shelf
support with the stop­locks (curved
extension of shelf)
facing up and toward
the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf
toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump
on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf,
and push it all the way back.

Bump

BAKING

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately
using an oven control system. It is recommended that
you operate the range for a number of weeks using
the time given on recipes as a guide to become
familiar with your new oven’s performance.

If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the
Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It lists easy
Do It Yourself instructions on how to adjust the
thermostat.

How to Set Your Oven for Baking

To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct

position before you turn the oven on.

1. Press BAKE.

2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set

the oven temperature.

3. Press START. When the oven starts to heat,

the changing temperature will be in the display.
(The display starts changing once the temperature
reaches 100°F.)

4. Press CLEAR/OFF when baking is finished.

NOTE:

• Acooling fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

To change the oven temperature during the
Bake cycle, press BAKE and set the new

temperature.

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place most foods in
the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or
C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Type of Food Shelf Position

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat
means bringing the oven up to the specified
temperature before putting the food in the oven.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—
selecting a higher temperature does not shorten
preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without
a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
After the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as
quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

19

Baking

Baking Pans Pan Placement

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

• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking in
glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be
reduced by 25°F.

• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find
that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.
to prevent over-browning.

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1- to 1

1

⁄2-inch space between pans as well
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.
If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other.

Cookies Aluminum Foil

When baking cookies,
flat cookie sheets
(without sides) produce
better-looking cookies.
Cookies baked in a
jelly roll pan (short
sides all around) may
have darker edges and
pale or light browning
may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover
a shelf with a large cookie sheet.

For best results during baking, use only one cookie
sheet in the oven at a time.

Never entirely cover a
shelf 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 shelf several
inches below the food.

Pies Cakes

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier
than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.

Don’t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as “bake 30-40 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Opening the oven door frequently during
cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times
longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

TIMED BAKING

How to Set Your Oven for Time Bake

The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or
off automatically at specific times that you set.
Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and
you set it to turn off automatically at the end of

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you

use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cool,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you

think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it
cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the
thermostat to make it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,

to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

1. Press BAKE and BROIL HI/LO

at the same time for 2 seconds

until the display shows “SF.”

2. Press BAKE. Atwo digit

number shows in the display.

3. The oven temperature can be

adjusted up to (+) 35°F. hotter

or (-) 35°F. cooler. Press the

INCREASE pad to increase

the temperature in 1 degree

increments.

3. Press the DECREASE pad to

decrease the temperature in 1

ROASTING

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for
meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or
Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking
sound, indicating the oven is working properly.)
Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off
automatically.

Most meats continue to cook slightly after being
removed from the oven. The internal temperature
will rise about 5° to 10°F. during the recommended
standing time of 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts
to firm up and makes them easier to carve. To
compensate for this rise in temperature, you may
want to remove the roast sooner (at 5° to 10°F. less
than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.

Adjust the Oven Thermostat Roasting

How to Set Your Oven for Roasting

1. Place the shelf in Aor B position. No preheating

is necessary.

2. Check the weight of the

meat. Place the meat fat
side up, or poultry
breast side up, on
roasting grid in a
shallow pan. The
melting fat will baste
the meat. Select a pan
as close to the size of
the meat as possible.
(The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

3. Press BAKE.

4. Press the INCREASE or

DECREASE pad to set the
temperature.

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with

a meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at

the completion of cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide
section. For roasts over 8 pounds, check with
thermometer at half-hour intervals after half
the cooking time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes after removing them from the oven.
Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time

I cook a roast or poultry?
A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips

that would help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil ‘‘tent’’when

roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving

it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown

the meat.

ROASTING GUIDE

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started
without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per
pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.
Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.
Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked
successfully without thawing. Follow the directions
given on the package label.

BROILING

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from
the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and
tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these
directions to keep spattering and smoking to a
minimum.

If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about 1/8 inch thick.

Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to
catch on fire.

Position a shelf on recommended shelf position as
suggested in the Broiling Guide. Most broiling is
done on C position,

but if your range is connected to

208 volts, you may wish to use a higher position.
Leave the door open

to the broil stop position.

The door stays open by
itself, yet the proper
temperature is maintained
in the oven.

Turn the food using tongs only once during broiling.
Time the foods for the first side according to the
Broiling Guide. Turn the food, then use the times given
for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.

How to Set Your Oven for Broiling

1. Press BROIL HI/LO.

Use of Aluminum Foil

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

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions and Answers

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the
meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape.
Turn the meat with tongs instead of a fork.

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

grid in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the

pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the
pan, thus keeping the meat drier. Juices are
protected by the grid and stay cooler, thus
preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range

may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil
element for 10 minutes before placing the broiler
pan with food in the oven. Check to see if you are
using the recommended shelf position. Broil for
the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling
Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.
You may need to move the food to a higher shelf
position.

Roasting Roasting Guide Broiling

25

BROILING GUIDE

• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with
your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded
lower part of the pan.

• The oven door should be open to the broil

stop position.

• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing the juices.

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to
10 minutes only.

• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides because dripping fat will
soil the oven bottom.

• The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat
if desired.

• Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick
pork chops thoroughly without over-browning them.

• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven
shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing
cooking time given in this guide 1

1

⁄2 times per side.

• 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.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self­cleaning cycle.

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware

and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken,

lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning
to make shelves slide more easily.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you
use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning

to prevent staining.

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and

the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door
outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self­clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot
water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution. This will help
prevent a brown residue from forming when the
oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the gasket.

Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven
door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or

oven cleaners.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—

the fiberglass material of the gasket has an
extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact
and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation and good baking
results. 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 let water run down through openings in
the top of the door. To help prevent water from

getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door
as far as it will go.

4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light

is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life
of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out
immediately. The door latches automatically after
the clean cycle is set.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus the
high clean-cycle temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.

Important

The oven door must be closed and all controls must
be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

After Self-Cleaning

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe
it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled
steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a
salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.

NOTE:

• No functions can be programmed before the door
automatically unlocks.

• If the shelves have become hard to slide, wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil.

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of

day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day

you will not be able to set a delay clean to end at
a specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any

part of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around

any part of this oven. If you do use them and do
not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it
absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the oven

off. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke.
Wait until the oven has cooled and the words
“LOCKED DOOR” are off in the display. Wipe up
the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear

during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating

and cooling during both the cooking and
cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might
also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled

surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after

cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which

is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge
or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is

the matter?

A. After many cleanings, oven shelves will lose their

luster and become hard to slide. To make the
shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports
with cooking oil.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will

lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.

Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven

is self-cleaning?

A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use

the cooktop just as you normally do.

CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range
will give you efficient and satisfactory service.
Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to
help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF
AND ALL SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.

Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven Care and Cleaning

Painted Surfaces Glass Window

Painted surfaces include the outside oven door, sides,
control panel and drawer front. Clean these with soap
and water or a vinegar and water solution. Do not use

commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel
wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

To clean the outside of the oven window, use a glass
cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Do not
allow the water or cleaner to run down inside the
openings in the glass or the openings in the top of the
oven door while cleaning.

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar

and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with
a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel–they will damage the finish. A50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. Before removing the knobs for cleaning,

please note that the knobs are in the proper OFF
position. When replacing the knobs, check the OFF
position to insure proper placement.

To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.

Avoid getting water down in the knob stem holes.
To replace a knob, locate the groove in each side of

the knob stem. One of the grooves contains a spring
clip and the other groove is clear. Locate the molded
rib inside the knob. Fit the molded rib into the clear
groove on the knob stem.

Molded rib

Spring clip

Clear groove in stem

Oven Heating Elements

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

are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the

oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate
around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Removable Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware
and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable
material in the drawer.

Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is
too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened. To
open the drawer, grasp the center of the handle and
pull straight out.

The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning
under the range.

To remove: Pull the
drawer straight out and
lift over the guide stops.

To replace: Lift over
the guide stops and
slide the drawer into
place.

To clean both the inside and the outside:

Wipe with soap and water. Rinse well.
Do not use cleansing powders or harsh abrasives

which may scratch the surface.

Oven Vent

The oven is vented through an opening under the
right rear surface unit. Never cover the opening with
aluminum foil or any other material. This would
prevent the oven vent from working properly.

Oven vent

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser
or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves

with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in the

self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to
make the shelves slide more easily.

33

Care and Cleaning

Surface Units and Drip Pans

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest
setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

CAUTION

•

Be sure all the controls are turned to OFFand the
surface units are cool before attempting to remove
them.

• Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.

• Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

• Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

• Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair
the plug-in receptacle.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units
must be removed first.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan and
pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch.
If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when
you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more
than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently
damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

• Replace the drip pan into the recess in the
cooktop. Make sure opening in the pan lines up
with the receptacle.

• Insert the terminals of the surface unit through
the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

• Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Drip Pans

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.
For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place them

in a covered container (or a plastic bag) with 1/4 cup
ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap­filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse with clean water
and polish with a clean soft cloth.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Black drip pans (on some models) may be cleaned in a

self-cleaning oven after they have been thoroughly
rinsed. However, self-cleaning them may cause them to
lose their original luster and shine.

Clean the area under the drip pans often.

Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
Do not cover drip pans with foil. Using foil so close to

the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the
range.

Receptacle

Drip pan

Surface unit

Lift-Up Cooktop

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,
especially grease, may catch fire.

To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be
lifted up and supported in the up position.

Be sure all the surface units are turned off
before raising the cooktop. The surface units and

drip pans do not need to be removed, however, you
may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier.
A support rod will hold the cooktop up while you
clean underneath it.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful
not to pinch your fingers.

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

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. This can
cause the glass to
break or can cause
damage to the door.

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.

• While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel
on the frame.

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 hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of the door:

• 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.

• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
soap-filled scouring pad.

• Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. 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.

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

Outside of the door:

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water
run down through openings in the top of the door.
Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to
clean the glass on the outside of the door.

• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces
and basting materials containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Care and Cleaning

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable
if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any

acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar)
should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry
paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away . When the
surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap
and water or cleansing powders after the surface has
cooled. Rinse well. Polish with
a dry cloth.

Oven Light Bulb

NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only

when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better
grip.

Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical
power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel. Let the bulb cool completely before
removing it. For your safety, do not touch a hot
bulb with a damp cloth. If you do, the bulb will
break.

To remove:

Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn
until the tabs of the glass cover clears the grooves
of the socket. Remove the bulb.

To replace:

Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. Place the tabs
of the glass cover into the groove of the socket.
Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.

NOTE:

• A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a
standard 40-watt household bulb.

• Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

• For improved lighting inside the oven, clean
the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This
should be done when the oven is completely cool.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and grid from

the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully
pour the grease from the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water
with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned-on, sprinkle the grid with
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove
burned-on foods.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with
a commercial oven cleaner.

Do not store a soiled pan and grid anywhere in
the range.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned
in the dishwasher.

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the
self-cleaning oven.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

1. Before placing range in the counter, notice the

location of the stability bracket which is already
attached to the back of the range. This location
should work for most installations. However, it
may be more convenient to hook the stability chain
to the unit when the stability bracket is attached to
the upper set of holes in the back of the range. See
Fig. A. The upper level set of holes is intended for
use with a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not
being used, make sure that there are no structural
supports for the countertop which will interfere
with the stability bracket when located in the
upper set of holes.

2. Fasten one end of the stability chain to the floor

or wall with the long screw and washer supplied.
See Fig. B.

Make certain the screw is going into the wall plate
at the base of the wall or one of the studs in the
base of the wall. See Fig. C.

Whether you attach the chain to the wall or floor,
be certain that the screw is in at least 3/4 inch
thickness of wood other than baseboard and that
there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the
area which the screw could penetrate. Attach the
stability chain in a location which will allow the
chain to be in line with the bracket side to aid as
much as possible when attached to the unit. Test to
see if the chain is securely fastened by tugging on
the chain.

3. Temporarily attach the loose end of the chain to

the rear of the countertop with the tape from the
packaging. See Fig. D.

4. Place the range in the counter cutout leaving just

enough room between the back of the range and
the wall to reach the stability bracket.

5. Hook the loose end of the chain onto the bracket

by slipping the nearest link of the chain into the
slot in the bracket. See Fig. A. Make sure the chain
is pulled as tight as possible and that there is no
excess slack in the chain after the chain is attached
to the bracket.

6. Slide the range all the way back into the counter.

Once the range is pushed back in place, there will
be a small amount of slack in the chain. This
is normal.

NOTE:

• If attaching to masonry, you can buy suitable screws

and anchors at hardware stores. Use a masonry drill
to drill the required holes.

• If range is removed for cleaning or any other
reason, make sure chain is reattached.
