WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

SAFETY INFORMATION

On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed
for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the
range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to
the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is
under the anti-tip bracket.

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.

For Drop-In Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, slide the range
forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the rear of
the range, and slide the range back so that the anti-tip bracket slides just
under the countertop or wood block attached to the rear wall.

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

1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

 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.

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
transferred to a qualified technician.

Before performing any service, unplug the range



or disconnect the 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 climb, sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.

CAUTION: Do not store items of



interest to children above a range or on the
backguard of a range—children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously injured.

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.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating



the room.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS



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. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially
hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing
the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near
the opening and crevices around the oven door.

 Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure

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

Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or



anywhere in the oven, except as described in
this manual. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting
in damage to the product and a shock or fire
hazard.

Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook



tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to
glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with
broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.

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.

WARNING

 Do not store or use flammable materials in

an oven or near the cooktop, including paper,
plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings,
curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids.

 Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while

using the appliance. These garments may ignite if
they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

49-80693

 Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.
Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.



Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease

should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood
or filter.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

 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.

 If there is a fire in the oven during baking,

smother the fire by closing the oven door and

SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

 Use proper pan size—select cookware having

flat 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 nearby 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

 Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass

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

Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass



cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop



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

Do not place or store items that can melt or catch



fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not
being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned
on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or
oven vent after it is turned off may cause them to
ignite also.

WARNING

RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS



Use CERAMA BRYTE® ceramic Cooktop Cleaner

and CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Pad to clean
the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and
the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A
wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Note:
Sugar spills are an exception. They should be
scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and
a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop
section for detailed instructions.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on



the cleaning cream label.

 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 the oven if a heating element

develops a glowing spot during use or shows
other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates
the heating element may fail and present a
potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the
oven off immediately and have the heating
element replaced by a qualified service
technician.



Keep the oven vent unobstructed.



Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease

in the oven may ignite.



Place oven racks in desired location while oven

is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,
do not let pot holder contact hot heating element
in oven.

When using cooking or roasting bags in the



oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.



Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when

loading and unloading food from the oven. This
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces
of the door and oven walls.



Do not leave items such as paper, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.



Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.

Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to
the product and a shock or fire hazard.

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when

canning.

For Models With a Radiant Glass Cooktop

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

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

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

the glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your

selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface

even when the cooktop is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass

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

 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 film.

 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.

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

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

Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop

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

USING THE RANGE: Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop

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 on Cast Iron:

recommended if bottom of pan is coated

Porcelain Enamel on Steel:

not recommended

Heating empty pans can cause
permanent damage to cooktop glass.
The enamel can melt and bond to the
ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

not recommended

Poor performance. Will scratch the
surface.

Stoneware:

not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.

Cast Iron:

not recommended—unless designed
specifically for glass cooktops

Poor conductivity and slow to absorb
heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge.

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

NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

For Best Results

 Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not

place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet
lids. Wet pans and lids may stick to the surface when
cool.

 Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of

wok will not heat on glass surface elements.

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed



wok. They are available at your local retail store. The
bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as
the surface element to ensure proper contact.

 Some special cooking procedures require specific

cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat
fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be
the correct size.

Do not place wet pans on the glass cooktop.

Do not use woks with support rings on the
glass cooktop.

Use flat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop.

Oven Racks

Your oven has seven rack positions. Recommended
rack positions for various types of foods are provided in
the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to
impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer
darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving
food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too
brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.

Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

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

To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks)
onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and
push the rack in.

Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

The number of rack positions may vary by model.

USING THE RANGE: Oven Racks / Cookware

CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, aluminum foil or any other items

on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor may
cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the
oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not
covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls
to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.

14

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

49-80693

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described 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.

USING THE OVEN: Cooking Modes

Baking Mode

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.

Broiling Mode

Always broil with the door open. Monitor food closely
while broiling. Use caution when 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. Broiling on rack position 7 is

not recommended.

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 producing 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.

CARE AND CLEANING: Cleaning the Range – Exterior

Control Panel

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.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.
Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water
solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at
room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the
door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean
these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy

water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel—they will damage the finish.

If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders,
steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the
Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of
this manual.

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

49-80693

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.
