RANGESAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or
This is the safety alert symbol.
"WARNING." These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door
without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.
See the installation instructions for details.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children
and adults.
Anti-Tip Bracket
Range Foot
Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:
• Slide range forward.
• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.
• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injuryto persons, or damage when using the
range, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• WARNING: TOREDUCETHERISKOF
TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE
SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP
DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE
INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD,
LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY
ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK
SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP
BRACKET.
• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above a range or on the back-
guard of a range - children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
• Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
• Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the
Room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not
be left alone or unattended in area where the range
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the range.
• Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
range.
• User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of
the range unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
• Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven or near surface
units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact surface units or
areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and
surfaces facing the cooktop.
• Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element. The use of under-
sized utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner
will also improve efficiency.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place - Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components under-
neath to damage.
• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or
fire.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements -
Heating elements should never be immersed in
water.
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
• Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
• Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns - among these
surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven
doors.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For self-cleaning ranges -
• Do Not Clean 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.
• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan
and other utensils.
For units with ventilating hood -
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

from the broil element.
6. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly, at 2 in. (5 cm)
intervals, around the outside edges of meat to prevent
curling.
7. Meats and poultry can be marinated before broiling. Brush
foods with barbecue sauce only during the last 5 to 10
minutes of broiling.
8. Place food on a cold pan to prevent sticking. If the rack is hot,
grease it or grease the food.
9. After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Glass ceramic cooktop models: The controls work on the
principle of percent on, percent off. For example, when the
control is turned to setting 5, the element will be on only 50% of
the time. Because of the fast heat-up of radiant heat elements,
you will notice, and perhaps even hear, the element switching on
and off.
Additional glass ceramic elements (on some models).
(example for broiling at 400°F/204°C)
Press the BROIL button and press the • button so a
temperature between "300°F/149°C '' and "500°F/260°C"
shows on the display.
Press the START button.
Lower temperature settings let the broil heating element cycle
and slow cooking down. The lower the temperature, the
slower the cooking.
NOTE: Fish and chicken are some foods that may cook
better if you use lower broiling temperatures.

• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food because it may melt onto the cooktop
surface. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening
in the cover for moisture to escape.
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use.
• Use potholders or oven mitts to remove food.
• The warming zone element will not glow red when it is on,
unlike the surface elements, However the surface indicator
light on the cooktop will glow.
• The warming zone element may be used whether the other
elements are in use or not.
The simmer element is identified on the disc in the center of the
element. This element can maintain lower temperatures for
preparation of foods which require very low heat like sauces,
chocolate or cheese.
You can use the left front surface element as either a small-
diameter lower-wattage element, or large-diameter full-wattage
element.
The element is controlled by the "Dual/Single" control knob on
the left front of the range console. Push in and turn the control
knob to the desired setting in the area marked "Dual" or "Single".
Use both elements for larger
pans. Controlled by control knob
area marked "Dual".
Use small element for smaller
pans. Controlled by
area marked "Single".
The HOT surface indicator lights on the cooktop surface will glow
when their corresponding surface elements are turned on. The
HOT surface indicator lights will continue to glow as long as the
elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.
NOTE: Heat from the oven vent may cause the left rear HOT
surface indicator light to glow to show that the area is too warm
to touch. There are five hot surface indicator lights on models
equipped with Warming Zone.
{
The cooktop light is in the top of the control console. The switch
is on the control console. Push the switch to turn the light on. The
light may take a few seconds to light up.
You can use the right front surface element as either a large-
diameter full-wattage element, or larger-area higher-wattage
element.
The element is controlled by the "Dual/Single" control knob on
the right front of the range console. Push in and turn the control
knob to the desired setting in the area marked "Dual" or "Single".
Use both elements for larger
pans. Controlled by control knob
area marked "Dual".
Use small element for smaller
pans. Controlled by
area marked "Single".
Single HOT surface indicator light (on some models)
The HOT surface indicator light on the cooktop surface will glow
when any one of the surface elements are turned on. The HOT
surface indicator light will glow as long as the elements are too
hot to touch, even after they are turned off.
Four or five HOT surface indicator lights (on other models)
The 120v appliance outlets located on the control console may
be used to run portable appliances placed on counter tops
beside the range.
The outlets operate independently and are not affected by range
control settings.
NOTE:
• Do not place appliances on the cooktop. Damage to the
appliance could result if the cooktop is hot.
Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of cooktops,
especially ceramic glass. Canners with rippled or ridged
bottoms do not allow good contact with the surface.
Center the canner over the largest surface cooking area. Do
not extend canner more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the
surface cooking area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not
centered correctly, can trap heat and result in damage to the
cooktop. Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas
at the same time.
The type of material the canner is made of determines the
length of heating time. Refer to the "Cookware" section for
more information.
• When canning for long periods of time, allow elements and
surrounding surfaces to cool down.
• Alternate use of the surface cooking areas between batches
or prepare small batches at a time.
• Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil; then
reduce heat to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a
pressure canner.
