Important Safety Instructions
• Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use only dry potholders—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.
• 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, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.)
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accu-
mulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum 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 the 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 service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the cooktop.
FOR COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating
Elements. Surface heating elements should never be
immerse in water. Heating elements clean themselves
during normal operation.
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 long
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 supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the 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 the utensil.
• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place.
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate 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 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 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.
4
Important Safety Instructions
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven is
vented through the right rear coil element or at right side
of the front panel and visible when the oven door is
open. 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) is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• 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 broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan 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-cleaning cycle, only clean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the
oven, remove the 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 is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or move the gasket.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
ENGLISH
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 well ventilated room.
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.

Figure 1
LO (MIN) Keep warm, melt, simmer.
*The 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 salt 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.
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the
glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element
underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element
outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flatbottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that
will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements
may become hot enough to cause burns.

NOTE: (White glass cooktops only) Due to
the high intensity of heat generated by the
surface elements, the glass surface will
turn green when the element is first turned
off. This phenomenon is normal and the
glass will come back to its original white
color after it has completely cooled down.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature
rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element
will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a
uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off
the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage
ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as
the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:
- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear position;
-a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the right front position;
-a 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position;
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop
cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call
checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on
and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic
glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can also occur if the
cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not
flat (Refer to page 10 for using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).

Surface Cooking Settings
Use the chart (Figure 1) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are
preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods
warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods
and melting chocolate or butter.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.
Recommended Settings for Single and
Dual Surface Elements
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (Hi) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (5-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (5) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam
vegetables
MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
LOW (Lo - 2) Keep warm, melt, simmer
Figure 1
Radiant
surface elements may
appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. A
hot surface indicator light
will come on and will
continue to glow until the
glass cooktop has cooled
down to a moderate level.
The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may
occur if the glass surface is
touched before the indicator
light has turned off.
Do not place
plastic items such as salt
and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the
range when it is in use.
These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to the
surface elements.
ENGLISH
Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 3 locations; the right rear, left rear and
left front (Figure 2) element positions.
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting
(Figure 3). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most cooking
operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each
surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red
surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing
the cookware. Note: The Hot Surface Indicator light will come on when the control
knob is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to
a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See above, Figure 1 for recommended control settings.
