WARNING
WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.
Read and follow all instructions before using this appliance to prevent the potential risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury or damage to the appliance as a result of improper usage of the appliance. Use appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this guide.
General Instructions
To ensure proper and safe operation: Appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Do not attempt to adjust, repair, service or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified servicer.
Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
•Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
•Ovens: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven doors.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
WARNING
NEVER use an appliance as a step to reach cabinets above. Misuse of appliance doors, such as stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors, may result in possible tipping of the appliance, breakage of doors and serious injuries.
2
Important Safety Instructions
If appliance is installed near a window, precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over surface elements.
NEVER use appliance to warm or heat the room. Failure to follow this instruction can lead to possible burns, injury, fire or damage to the appliance.
NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Clothing could catch utensil handles or ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with hot heating elements.
To ensure proper operation and to avoid damage to the appliance or possible injury, do not adjust, service, repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this guide. Refer all other servicing to a qualified technician.
NEVER store or use gasoline or other combustible or flammable materials in the ovens, near surface units or in the vicinity of this appliance as fumes could create a fire hazard or an explosion.
To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in a steam burn. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth which could easily touch hot heating elements and ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
NEVER heat unopened containers on the surface unit or in the ovens. Pressure build-up in the container may cause container to burst resulting in burns, injury or damage to the appliance.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottoms. This could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.
Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Do not use or store near appliance.
Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended, especially when using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different sized surface elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer s instructions when using glass.
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 manual. Do not use stove top grills or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems and reduce the life of the components of this appliance.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small children.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop
NEVER cook on a 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. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper towel is used on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan.
Ovens
Use care when opening doors. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
For proper oven operation and performance, do not block or obstruct oven vent duct. When ovens are in use, the vent and surrounding area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns.
Always place oven racks in desired locations while ovens are cool. If rack must be moved while an oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot element in oven.

Important Safety Instructions
Self-Cleaning Ovens
CAUTION
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gaskets. The gaskets are essential for a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or move the gaskets.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised in area where appliance is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.
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.
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 ovens.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy spills, before the clean cycle to prevent smoking, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid touching the cooktop, door, window or oven vent during a clean cycle.
Heating Elements
NEVER touch surface or oven heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of ovens.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface elements and interior surfaces of the ovens 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 ovens until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent, and surfaces near the vent opening, oven doors, areas around the doors and oven windows.
Child Safety
CAUTION
NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance or on the appliance doors to reach items could be seriously injured.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or filter and to avoid grease fires.
Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such as Cherries Jubilee) under the hood.
Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Surface Cooking
Surface Controls
Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from LO to HI. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.
Setting the Controls
1.Place pan on surface element.
2.Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired heat setting.
The control panel is marked to identify which element the knob controls. For example, the graphic at right indicates left front element.
3.There is an element ON indicator light on the control panel. When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface elements are turned off.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF Remove pan.
Dual/Triple Element
The cooking surface has a dual element located in the left front of the smoothtop.
This allows you to change the size of these 
elements. Press the switch to the left to use
the large element or to the right to use the
small element.
The cooking surface has one triple element located in the right front position. This element can be used for larger cooking utensils when the triple element is used, or for smaller pans when the single or dual settings are chosen.
To operate the single element only, use the right side of the control knob and select any setting from LO to HI.
To operate the dual or triple elements, press the switch above the knob to the left for the triple element or to the right for the double element. Then, use the left side of the control knob to select any heat setting from LO to HI.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size, type of cookware and cooking operation will affect the heat setting. For information on cookware and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 9.
HI: Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
Med. High (8-9): Use to brown meat, heat oil for deep fat frying or sauteing. Maintain fast boil for large amounts of liquids.
LO (2): Use to keep foods warm and melt chocolate and butter.
Med. Low
(3-4): Use to continue cooking covered foods or steam 
foods.
Medium (5-7): Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts of liquids and for most frying operations.
CAUTION
BEFORE COOKING
Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a pan in place.
NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware.
DURING COOKING
Be sure you know which knob controls which surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.
Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a high heat setting for extended cooking.
NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the appliance.
•NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.
AFTER COOKING
•Make sure surface unit is turned off.
•Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.
OTHER TIPS
If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.
NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to contact heating elements.
•NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall and damage it.
7
Surface Cooking
Smoothtop Surface
Notes:
On Canadian models, the smoothtop does NOT operate during a clean cycle.
Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the Hot Surface Indicator light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.
In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface.
Never attempt to lift the cooktop.
The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than 1/
2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on HI.
For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 9.

Hot Surface Indicator Light
The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the control panel. The light will be illuminated when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on, even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled.
Warmer Zone (style may vary by model)
Use the Warmer Zone to keep hot cooked foods warm, such as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates.
Setting the Control:
Touch the Warmer Zone pad and then
the Autoset pad. Press Autoset pad again to turn off.
Notes:
Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30 minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.
Do not heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.
Warming temperatures of the food will vary depending on type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper food temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures between 140 -170 F.
Use only cookware recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.
Always use oven mitts when removing food from the Warmer Zone as cookware will be hot.
All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.
When warming pastries and breads the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.
Tips to Protect the
Smoothtop Surface
Cleaning (see page 23 for more information) Before first use, clean the cooktop.
Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
•If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel.
•Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.
Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.
•Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
8
Surface Cooking
To Prevent Marks & Scratches
•Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top.
Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See Cleaning, page 23.)
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.
•To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using.
•Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.
To Prevent Stains
•Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.
To Prevent Other Damage
Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning, page 23.)
Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and pan.
•Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
•Never cook food directly on the surface.
Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.
•Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized canners and griddles.
•Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized Servicer.
Cookware Recommendations
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly.
See if your pans are flat.
The Ruler Test:
1.Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.
2.Hold it up to the light.
3.Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.
The Bubble Test:
1.Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn control to HI
2.Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats. Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

Canning and Oversize Cookware
All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than
1 inch larger than the element.
When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.
When canning, use the HI heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner. Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.

Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling temperature is selected.
Never cover broiler pan insert with aluminum foil. This prevents fat from draining to the pan below.
Expect broil times to increase and browning to be slightly lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt circuit.
If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the Broil pad and the Autoset pad, the oven will not be set and the display will return to the previous display.
Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling time.

Care & Cleaning
Self-Clean Ovens
CAUTION
•It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a self-clean cycle.
•To prevent damage to oven doors, do not attempt to open the doors when LOCK is displayed.
Avoid touching door, window or oven vent area during a clean cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the oven. They will damage the finish or parts.
DO NOT leave baking/pizza stone in oven during self clean.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the oven interior.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy buildup of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Self-Cleaning
1.Turn off the oven light before cleaning as the light may burn out during the clean cycle.
2.Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.
3.Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside of gasket, and around the
opening in the door gasket) with a
nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self-cleaning process does not
clean these areas. They should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window.)
4.To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.
5.Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom.
This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle.
6.Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may

During the Self-Clean Cycle
When LOCK shows in the display, both oven doors are locked. To prevent damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when LOCK is displayed.
Smoke and Smells
You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.
Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a broiler pan was left in the oven.
Sounds
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven.
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will turn off. The doors can then be opened.
Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.
If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to move.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went through heating and cooling . This is normal and will not affect performance.
A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean cycle . This discoloration is normal and will not affect performance.
Notes:
If an oven door is left open, door will appear in the display and a signal will beep until the door is closed and the Clean pad is pressed again.
If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the Clean pad and the Autoset pad, the program will automatically return to the previous display.
The oven doors will be damaged if the oven doors are forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.
