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 instr uctions.
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 servic e, 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—c hildren 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 sur face units,
areas nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling
first. Other sur faces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially
hot surfaces include the co oktop, areas facing
the cooktop, oven vent opening, sur faces near
the opening and crevices around the oven door.
Do not heat unopened food c ontainers. 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 descr ibed 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
49-80696
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.

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
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not
self-clean the surface units in an oven. Doing so
may cause them to fail presenting a burn or fire
hazard.
Do not use a surface unit (heating element) if
it develops a glowing spot during use or shows
other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates
the surface unit may fail and present a potential
burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the surface
unit off immediately and have it replaced by a
qualified service technician.
WARNING
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

can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the
product and a shock or fire hazard.
Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are
in place. Their absence during cooking could
damage range parts and wiring.
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.

a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
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.
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.
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: Cookware / 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 top rack 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.

Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior. You will need to lock the oven door when using
this feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe
up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items
from the oven. Shiny or silver racks and any cookware
or other items should all be removed from the oven
before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close the door. Latch
the door. NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is
too hot, you will not be able to slide the latch. Allow the
oven to cool. Press the Self Clean pad and a default selfclean time is displayed. The clean time can be changed
to any time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours by using the
+/- pads to enter a different time and pressing Start. For
heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is
recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press
the Start pad immediately after pressing the Self Clean
pad. The oven will turn off automatically when the selfclean cycle is complete and the self-clean light will be
off. Slide the latch handle to the left as far is it will go and
open the door. Never force the latch handle. Forcing the
handle will damage the door lock mechanism. After the
oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the
gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand.
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.
Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool
pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with
clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of
the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is
essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another wellventilated room.
To Stop a Self-Clean Cycle
Press Cancel/Off and wait for self clean light to go off.
Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking
temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to
open the door right away unless the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature.
