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-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
■Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified
installer in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
■ Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat
is cool.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat dripping in
or near your range.
■ Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
■ Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the door, storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
■ Carefully watch for spillovers or
overheating of foods when frying at high
or medium high temperatures.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
■ Do not store flammable materials in an
oven or near the cooktop.
■
CAUTION:
Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of
a range—children climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching for items stored
over the range. Flammable material could
be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surface units or heating elements and
may cause severe burns.
■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■ Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the range.
■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.
■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance from
your range.
■ Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in
or near the range.
■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
■Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multipurpose 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, areas
nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
■Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,
crevices around the oven door.
■
REMEMBER:
The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
■Never leave the surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip
pans or anywhere in the oven except as
described in this manual. Misuse could
result in a shock, fire hazard or damage
to the range.
■Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct
are not covered and are in place. Their
absence during cooking could damage
range parts and wiring.
■Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop service; others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
■To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container
should be turned toward the center
of the range without extending over
nearby surface units.
■Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
■Do not immerse or soak the removable
surface units. Do not put them in a
dishwasher. Do not self-clean the surface
units in the oven.
■When preparing flaming foods under
the hood, turn the fan on.
■To avoid the possibility of a burn or
electric shock, always be certain that the
controls for all surface units are at the
OFF
position and all coils are cool before
attempting to lift or remove a unit.
■Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
■Keep an eye on foods being fried at high
or medium high heat settings.
■Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
■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.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
■ 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.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags
in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.
■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■ Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of
aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
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.
WARNING!
OVEN
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
■Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.

How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either
direction to the setting you want.
At both
OFF
and HIthe control
clicks
into position. You may hear slight
clicking
sounds during cooking,
indicating the control is maintaining
your desired setting.
A surface unit ONindicator light will
glow when
any
surface unit is on.
Be sure you turn the control knob to
OFF
when you finish cooking.
Surface Cookware Tips
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″.
Not over 1 inch.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball®and
Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
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.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a build-up of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop.
Do not use round bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.
