is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS,AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS,OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACESOFTHE OVEN ORWARMER DRAWER (if
equipped). Both surface and oven heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in colon 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 touch these areasuntil they
have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are
the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door
and window.

grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
Use only dry pothotders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
* Know which knob controls each surface heating unit,
Use proper pan size. This appliance isequipped with one
or more surface units of different sizes.Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit.
Tile useof undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Properrelationship of utensil to tile
surface unit will also improve efficiency.
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 tile utensil.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accumula-
tions that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
Protective liners--Do not usealuminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on tile food. Any other use of protective liners
or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire or short circuit.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop servicewithout breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
* Do not heat unopened food containers--Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
* Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, tile oven may begin to operate again. (Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.)
Electronic controllers can be damaged by
cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for
the first time, or if it has not been used for a tong
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power suppty.
Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an
element isaccidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burnswill occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact aqualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution--If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.

IMPORTANT SAFETY IN S
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer
(if equipped)--Stand to the side of the range when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in the oven
warmer drawer.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located at the rear of the cooktop on the right side.
Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is
operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.
These items could melt or ignite.
Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped)
Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) iscool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposi-
tion. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep a[[ parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaustfan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming
food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• In the self-denning cycle, only dean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the
oven, remove tile broiler pan and any utensils or foods
from the 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.
• Do not clean door gasket--The door gasket isessential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket.
Z_i!iiii'

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiJer insert with aIuminum foil,
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing socould cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off tile power to tile appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
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 tile state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
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
weIt ventilated room.

Surface Cooking
Setting Surface Controls
1. Placethe pan on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.
3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always
turn tile element off before removing the pan.
Note: The size and type of utensit used, and the amount and type of food being
cooked wilt influence the setting needed for best cooking resutts.
Setting Type of Cooking
HI (MAX) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling.
5 (MED) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam
vegetables.
2-4 (MED-LOW) Keep food cooking, poach, stew.
LO (MIN) Keep warm, melt, simmer.
*Tile suggested settings found in the chart above are based on cooking in medium
thickness aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Do not place items such as saJt and pepper shakers, spoon holders
or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood could catch fire if placed too close to the
element.
iiiiii!_i!i'ii'
NOTE: Due to the high
intensity of heat generated
by the surface elements,
the glass surface will turn
green when the element is
turned off. This phenom-
enon isnormal and the
glass will come back to its
original white color after it
has completely cooled
down. (White glass
cooktops only).
OFF
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop
iiiiiiii_ill....
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating (:oilslocated below tile ceramic-glass
surface. The design of tile glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface heating coils
below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the surface area. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-
bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of cookware, number of surface units
in use and the settings of the surface units are factors that will affect the amount of the
heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areas surrounding the units may
become hot enough to cause burns.
Tile cooktop should not be used asa cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or
hard objects on tile cooktop may crack it. Panswith rough bottoms may scratch the
cooktop surface. Placing foods not in utensils directly onthe smoothtop surface is not
recommended as difficult (:leaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a
potential fire hazard. Never use griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic-glass
cooktop.
Types of Heating Units Used
REGULAR RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some modeJs}
The ceramic-glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.
Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels. Knobs need first to be pressed in
when at OFFposition, then turned to the desired heat settings.
A glowing red surface extending beyond the bottom edge of tile cooking utensil
indicates the utensil is too small for the unit.
Tile control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as
a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot surface and surface indicator
lights will glow.
Note: A builtqn protector will automatically turn off tile radiant heating unit if tile
ceramic-glass temperature exceeds the set limit.

Surface Cooking
Expandable Radiant Element
Control Dial
EXPANDABLE RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)
This heating unit adapts to both small and large heating utensils. The unit control dial has
a dual set of graduations. For small utensils use the right side of the control dial; for large
utensils the left. Only the inner surface of the unit heats when using it for small utensils;
the whole surface heats for large utensils. The hot surface and surface indicator lights will
glow when the heating unit isturned ON.
Note: During any heat setting of the outer radiant element, the inner radiant element
cycles on and off with tile outer element.
Indicator Lights
Two different surface control lights will glow on your range: Surface Indicator Lights and
Hot Surface Indicator Lights.
• The surface indicator lights, located on the control panel, glow when any surface
unit is turned on. A quick glance at the lights after cooking is an easy check to be sure
all surface controls are turned off.
The hot surface indicators lights, located under the glass cooktop, will come on
asthe surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop
has cooled down to a moderate level. The lights may remain on even though the
controls are turned to OFF.
Oven Vent(s) and Racks
This range has a fan that wilt turn "ON" and "OFF" by itsetf to keep the electronics cool tt may
continue to run after the range has been turned "OFF" but may also stop immediately to turn "ON" after a while.

Oven Vent
Changing Oven
Oven Vent Location
Tile oven isvented at the rigth side front panel and visible when the oven door is open. Seethe
illustration for the exact location. When the oven ison, warm air is released through the vent(s).
This venting isnecessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT
block the vent(s). Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKSWHEN THE OVENiS COOL (PRIORTO OPERATINGTHE
OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull tile rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the
oven. A beep letsyou know when the broil temperature is reached. Besure you center the broiler
pan directly under the broil element for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.
The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of
the broiler. DO NOT use the pan without its insert. DO NOT cover the insert with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda
on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
