To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or

damage to unit do not attempt to adjust, repair, service, or

replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this book. All other servicing should be

referred to a qualified installer or servicer. Always

disconnect power to unit before any servicing by tripping
circuit breaker to the OFF position or removing the fuse.

Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable materials,
vapors and liquids in the oven, near surface units or in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can

create a fire hazard or explosion.

If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over

surface elements.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from

the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase

pressure in closed containers which may cause them to

burst.

Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their
use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away

from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may
melt or soften if left too close to the vent or surface

element.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface

elements, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If such storage is provided, it should be

limited to items which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an

appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the

appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the

appliance.

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils
in or on it can be hot. Let hot

utensils cool in a safe place, out of
reach of small children. Children

should be taught that an appliance

is not a toy. Children should not be

allowed to play with controls or
other parts of the unit.

CAUTION; Do not store items of
interest to children in cabinets

above an appliance or on the
backguard of a range. Children

climbing on the appliance or on the
appliance door to reach items

could be seriously injured.

To prevent iniury or damage to the appliance, do not use
appliance as a space

heater to heat or warm a
room. Also, do not use

the cooktop or oven as
a storage area for food

or cooking utensils.
The oven vent is located

at the rear of the
cooktop. Keep oven

vent duct unobstructed.

Blockage of the vent prevents proper oven air circulation
and will affect oven performance. Avoid touching vent

area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven
is turned off. Some parts of the vent and surrounding

areas may become hot enough to cause burns.

Do not touch surface or oven elements, areas near
elements or interior surface of oven. Heating elements

may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near

surface elements and interior surfaces of an oven may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,

do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior

surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Always turn off surface element or the oven when cooking
is completed.

It is normal for some parts of the cooktop, especially areas

surrounding the surface elements, to become warm or hot
during surface cooking operations. Therefore, do not touch

the cooktop until it has had sufficient time to cool. If

necessary, use dry pot holders to protect hands.
Do not cook on a broken ceramic glass 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.
Always place a pan on a surface element before turning it

on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface
element. Make sure the correct element is turned on.

Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a
lower setting to continue cooking. To prevent boilovers,

reduce to the desired heat setting just as the food begins
to cook or water begins to boil.

Never leave a surface cooking operation unattended
especially when using a

high heat setting or
when deep fat frying.

Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy

spiNovers may ignite.
Clean up greasy spills

as soon as possible. Do

not use high heat for

extended cooking
operations.

Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool
before attempting to move or handle.

Never heat an unopened container as pressure build-up

may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal
injury or damage to the appliance.

Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on
hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not let pot
holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or

other bulky cloth.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials

accumulate in or near the appliance, vent hood or vent
fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from
accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under

the hood turn the fan off as the fan may spread the flame.

Use caution when wearing garments made of flammable

material to avoid clothing
fires. Loose fitting or long

hanging-sleeved apparel

should not be worn while
cooking. Clothing may

ignite or catch utensil
handles.

Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool, Slide oven rack out to add or remove food;

avoid reaching into the oven. tfa rack must be moved
while oven is hot, use a dry pot holder and avoid touching

hot element in oven.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food

manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food

container and/or itscover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food

and itscontainer. The food could be contaminated.

Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface elements of different sizes. Select utensils

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a

portion of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to element will also improve efficiency.

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay coot. Avoid using unstable, warped,

easily tipped or loose handled pans. Pans that are heavy
to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume

of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of
fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do

not extend handles
over adjacent surface
elements. Always turn
pan handles toward

the side or back of the
appliance, not out into

the room where they
are easily hit or

reached by small
children•

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Clean appliance with

caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some

cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.

Do not use aluminum foil or foil liners to cover an oven

rack or line the oven bottom. Improper use of these liners

may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire and may cause

oven to overheat. Use foil only as recommended in this
booklet.

Clean only parts listed in this booklet. 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 or oven liner protective coatings
of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven
racks, and other utensils, and wipe off excessive spillovers

to prevent excessive smoke or flare ups. CAUTION: Do

not leave food or cooking utensils, etc. in the oven during

the self-clean cycle.

A fan should be heard during the self-clean cycle. If not,

cancel the clean cycle and call a qualified technician

before self-cleaning again. Refer to the Table of Contents

for location of seff-clean and fan information.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil

and the appliance.

Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven

cooking bags.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or

oven usage without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or

accessories that are not specifically recommended in this

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and

National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1996.

See rating plate on range front frame for total connected

KW rating.

iii i i!!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!Tiiiiiiiiiliiililiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiLii

Your local utility company will tell you whether the present
electric service to your home is adequate, tt may be

necessary to increase the size of the wiring to the house
and service switch to take care of the electrical load

demanded by the range. The kilowatt rating for the range
is specified on the name plate on the range.

!iH ! i i iiiiiii!!iiii!ii!!iiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTi!!i!!!!!!iiiiiiiii........iTLili!!iiiiii

Most local Building Regulations and Codes require that all
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All wiring

should conform to Local and National Electrical Codes.
This range requires a single phase three wire 120/240 or a

120/208 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes require a

separate circuit be run from the main entrance panel to the
range and that it be equipped with separate disconnect

switch and fuses, either in the main entrance panel or in a
separate switch and fuse box. In some communities, a

solid or flexible continuous armored conduit must be used
from main entrance panel to the terminal box on the rear

of the range. Others will permit the termination of the
range circuit at a polarized three or four wire plug-in outlet

placed at a convenient point near the back of the range.
The range is then connected to this outlet through an

approved range connector (pigtail) fastened securely to
the terminal block with proper strain relief at the range and

a three or four pronged plug at the opposite end.

some LOCAL CODES DO NOT PERMIT GROUNDING
THROUGH NEUTRAL. Hence, 4-wire service MUST be

provided for such installations. All others permit 3-wire
service. Use COPPER WIRE ONLY. Make connections as

explained below and with reference to the appropriate
illustration (see figures 8 thru 11 on pages I 0 and 11).

After installation, insure tightness of all electrical
connections and replace all covers.

NOTE: Cord replacement- ONLY a power supply cord
rated at 240 volts minimum, 40 amperes or 50 amperes
power supply cord that is marked for use with nominal 1
3/8" (34.93 mm) diameter connection opening, with closed

loop terminals and marked for use with ranges shall be
used.

Remove terminal block access cover from range back.

(See figure 7).

For service cord (pigtail) use, remove knockout ring from

conduit plate. (See figures 8 and 10 on pages 10 and 11).

i i iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTiiiiiiiiiiiiililiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Some models are shipped direct from the factory with
service cords (pigtails) attached. There are no range

connections necessary on these models. Just plug into the
range outlet. On models not provided with a service cord

and models having a conduit, connection to the power
supply is necessary. REMEMBER- mobile homes and

onyourcooktopmaynot

looklikethecooktopinthis

illustration but your cooktop will operate as described in

this manual.

Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it
thoroughly as directed on the cleaning chart on page 24.

This will protect the smoothtop and will guarantee a clean
cooktop when the elements are turned on.

During the first few hours of use, you may notice that the
cooktop emits a slight burning odor and a light smoke.

Both of these conditions are normal.

When a cooking area is turned on, the coil element under
the cooktop will heat up and glow red. To maintain the

heat setting the element will cycle on and off. It is normal
to see a red glow through the smoothtop when the

element cycles on.

When cooking delicate foods which easily scorch or
overcook, start with a lower heat setting then gradually

increase until you find the optimum setting. Boilovers are
more likely to occur if you start out on HIGH then reduce

to the lower setting, tf you do begin cooking on HIGH,
reduce to a lower setting before liquids come to a full boil.

If food is cooking too fast or if a boilover occurs, remove
lid or remove cookware from cooking area and reduce to

a lower setting. Allow enough time for the cooking area to
adjust to the new setting.

i ii i i i iiiiiiiiiiiiiii !i iiiii !i!ii iii ill i!i!!ii! i iii ii i!! ii i iiiii!ii

Aluminum lob will damage the smoothtop if it melts onto
the glass. Do not use foil-type disposable containers such

as popcorn poppers. They may leave metal marks or may
permanently melt onto the smoothtop. Do not use cooktop

if metal or aluminum foil melts onto the smoothtop. Call an
authorized servicer.

Aluminum cookware will cause metal marks on the glass
if you slide them across the smoothop. Remove any metal

marks immediately using Cooktop Cleaning Creme.

Glass ceramic, earthenware, porcelain over metal,
heat-proof glass or glazed cookware may scratch the

smoothtopcooktop ifyou slide them across the top.

Your range is equipped with a HOT SURFACE light

located at the center-back of the smoothtop. This red light

will turn on to indicate that the smoothtop is hot and will

remain on until the top has cooled.

_________!__!!_iii_ii_iiiiiiiiiiiiii_ii_i_i_i_i_i_i_i_!iiii_i!!ii_iii!ii_iii_i____ii__iii_iiii_ii__i_______iii__i_

The smoothtop cooking area retains heat for a period of
time after the element has been turned off. Turn the

element off a few minutes before food is completely
cooked and use the retained heat to complete the cooking
operation. After 30 minutes, the cooktop may be too cool

to keep foods warm. However, the top may still be too
warm to touch. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off,

the top will be cool enough to touch.

Do not use the top as a work surface or as a cutting
board. Do not cook food directly on the cooktop.

Do not use a trivet or metal stand (such as a wok ring)
between the utensil and the cooktop. These items can
mark or etch the surface and affect cooking efficiency.

Do not place plastics on a warm or hot cooking area.
They will melt and adhere to the smoothtop. The

smoothtop may chip or pit in attempting to remove
melted plastic from the top.

To prevent scratching or damage to the smoothtop, do
not leave sugar, salt, sand, soil, shortening or other fats
on the cooking area. Be sure area is free from these

before turning on cooking area.

Be sure the bottom of the cookware is smooth and free
of nicks, scratches or rough areas as they may scratch

the smoothtop.

Do not allow a pan to boil dry. This could cause
permanent damage to the smoothtop.

ii i il i! i!iii!i!!ii!!iiiiliiiii!!iiiiiiiiiiii!i!!i!!!!i!i

To help keep cooktop clean, be sure cooking area and
cookware bottom are clean and dry before each use.

To prevent possible damage to the cooktop, always rinse
the bottom of cookware to completely remove any

cleaning agent residue. This is especially important when
using a copper or aluminum cleaner. In the presence of

heat, the cleaning residue may stain, discolor or etch the
smoothtop.

Carefully blot up spitlovers around the outside of the
cooking area as they occur with dry paper towels. BE

CAREFUL NOT TO BURN HANDS WHEN WIPING UP
SPILLS. DO NOT USE A DAMP CLOTH WHICH MAY

CAUSE STEAM BURNS.

CALITION: Do not use cooktop if the smoothtop is
cracked, broken, or if metal melts onto the cooktop.

Call an authorized servicer. Do not attempt to repair the

ooktop yourself.

When surface is cool, clean as directed in the chart on

page 26. DO NOT USE the following cleaning agents:

• Abrasives (metal scouring pads, cleansing powders,
scouring cleaners or pads) will scratch the smoothtop.

• Chemicals (oven cleaners, chlorine bleaches, rust
removers or ammonia) may damage the finish of the

smoothtop.

• Glass cleaners containing ammonia may harm the
smoothtop.

• Soiled cloth or sponge will leave an invisible film on the
cooktop which may scratch or cause discoloration the

next time the cooktop is used.

IMPORTANT: Watch sugary or starchy solutions
carefully to avoid boilovers. If a sugar solution (such as

jam, jelly, candy) or a starch solution (such as potatoes,

rice) boils over, it may pit or discofor the smoothtop.
Turn element to LOW and clean sugary boilovers

immediately. See page 24 for complete cleaning
instructions.

Your cooktop is equipped with control knobs that provide
an infinite choice of settings from LOW to HIGH. The knob

can be set on or between any of the numbered settings.

To operate push in and turn the knob in either direction to
the desired setting. An indicator light will glow when a

surface element is turned on, The indicator light will
remain on until the element is turned off. After a cooking

operation, be sure the element and indicator light are off.

To operate dual element:

• Press the rocker switch marked COIL SIZE to select

either the 9" or 6" size element.
NOTE: If the 9" size is selected, both the inner and outer

circles will heat. if the 6" size is selected, only the inner
circle witl heat.

• Push in and turn the LEFT REAR surface control knob
to the desired heat setting.

To prevent damage to the range or utensil, never operate
surface unit without a pan in place, never allow a pan to
boil dry and never operate an element on HIGH for

extended periods of time.

Food will not cook any faster at a higher setting than

needed to maintain a gentte boil. Water boits at the same
temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously. If a high
setting is used, excessive spattering will occur and food

may stick or burn onto the bottom of the pan.
If a higher heat setting is used to bring liquid to a boil or to

begin cooking, always reduce to a lower setting once
liquid comes to a boil or food begins cooking. Never leave

food unattended during a cooking operation.

Fit the size of the cookware to the size of the element.

This conserves energy.

Use HIGH just until water comes to a boil or pressure is
reached in the pressure canner. Then, reduce to the
lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure.

Prolonged use of HIGH or the use of incorrect canning
utensils will produce excessive heat. Excessive heat can
cause permanent damage to the cooktop.

Because each oven has its own personal baking
characteristics, do not expect that your new oven will

perform exactly like your previous oven. "Youmay find that

the cooking times, oven temperatures, and cooking

results differ somewhat from your previous range. Allow a
period of adjustment. If you have questions concerning

baking results, please refer to pages 18, 19, and 28 for
additional information.

A fan will automatically turn on whenever the oven is set
for a cooking or a cleaning operation. After the operation,

the fan will automatically turn off when the oven has

The two oven racks are designed with a safety lock-stop
position to keep the racks from accidently coming

completely out of the oven when pulling the rack out to
add or remove food.

I CAIJTION: Do not attempt to change the rack positions

when the oven is hot.

To remove: Be sure the rack is cool. Pull the rack straight

out until it stops at the lock-stop position. Tilt the front end
of the rack up and continue pulling the rack out of the

oven,
To replace: Place the rack on the rack supports and tilt

the front end of the rack up slightly. Slide it back until it
clears the lock-stop position. Lower the front and slide the

rack straight in. Pull the rack out to the lock-stop position
to be sure itis positioned correctly and then return it to its

normal position.
It is important that air can circulate freely within the oven

and around the food. To help ensure this, place food on

the center of the oven rack. Allow two inches between the

edge of the utensil(s) and the oven walls.

For optimum baking results of cakes, cookies or biscuits,
use one rack. Position the rack so the food is in the center

of the oven. Use either rack position 2 or 3.

If cooking on more than one rack, stagger the food to

I

ensure proper air flow.

I

If cooking on two racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 for
cakes and rack positions 1 and 4 when using cookie
sheets. Never place two cookie sheets on one rack.

If roasting a large turkey, place the turkey on rack 1and
the side dishes on rack 5.

Use a reliable recipe and accurately measure fresh
ingredients. Carefully follow directions for oven

temperature and cooking time.

• For optimum baking results, bake cookies and biscuits

on a flat cookie sheet. If the pan has sides, such as a
jelly rotl pan, browning may not be even.

Preheat oven if recommended in the recipe or package

directions. Selecting a temperature higher than the
desired temperature wilt not preheat the oven any faster.

In fact, this may have a negative effect on baking results.
Use the correct rack position. Baking results may be

affected if the wrong rack position is used. For optimum
results, bake foods on one rack. Select a rack position

that locates the food in the center of the oven. If baking on
two racks, select rack positions #2 and 4, #1 and 4 or #2

and 5.

• Top browning may be darker if food islocated
toward the top of the oven.

° Bottom browning may be darker if food is located

toward the bottom of the oven.
When using two racks for baking, allow enough space

between the racks for proper air circulation. Browning
and cooking results will be affected if air flow is

blocked.

Cool(ware material plays an important part in baking
results. Always use the type and size of pan called for in
the recipe. Cooking times or cooking resutts may be

affected if the wrong size is used.

If using heat-proof glassware, or dark pans such as

Baker's Secret or Wilton reduce the oven temperature
by 25°F except when baking pies or bread. Use the
same baking time as called for in the recipe.

Use of aluminum foil: Do not cover the oven bottom or
an entire rack with foil or place foil directly under

cookware. To catch spillovers, place a piece of foil a little
larger than the pan, on the rack below the pan.

Allow hot air to flow freely through the oven for
optimum baking results. Improper placement of pans in

the oven will block air flow and may result inuneven

browning. For optimum browning and even cooking

results:

° Do not crowd a rack with pans. Never place more than

one cookie sheet, one 13x9x2-inch cake pan or two
9-inch round cake pans on one rack.

• Stagger pans when baking on two racks so one pan is
not directly over another pan.

•Ailow one to two inches between the pan and the oven

walls.

• A shiny metal pan reflects heat away from the food.
This type of pan produces lighter browning and a softer

crust. Use shiny pans for baking cakes or cookies.

A dark, dull, anodized or satin-finish metal pan
absorbs heat and produces darker browning with a

crisper crust. Use dark pans for pies, pie crusts or

bread.

Check the cooking progress at the minimum time
recommended in the recipe. If necessary, continue

checking at intervals until the food isdone. Ifthe oven
door is opened too frequently, heat willescape from the
oven; this can affect baking results and wastes energy.

Ifyou add additional ingredients or alter the recipe,

expect cooking times to increase or decrease slightly.
