Important Safety Instructions
• 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 ciosely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use only dry pothoiders—Moist or damp pothoiders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let pothoiders 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.)
ik CAUTION
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.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
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.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings—Bo Hovers 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.
• 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.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located at the 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 bums.
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
pothoiders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposi
tion. Do not let pothoiders contact the hot heating ele
ments in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped). Remove
all utensils from the rack before moving.
Important Safety Instructions
• 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 CLEAN
ING 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 underthe 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
cleaneror 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 essen
tial fora 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.

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.
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 positions;
- 2 dual 9 or 12 inch radiant element located at the right and left front
positions;
- a Warm & Ready zone radiant element located at the center rear position;
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in
the Genera! 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 11 for
using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).
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.
Surface Cooking Settings
Use the table 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.

staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will
resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum
above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Before Setting Oven Controls
A CAUTION
¡This rangehasafan that will turn “ON” and “OFF” by itself to keep the electronics cool. It may continue
to run after the range has been turned “OFF”, but may also stop immediately and then turn “ON” after a while.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located at right side of the front panel
and visible when the oven door is open. When the oven is
on, hot air is released through the vents. This venting is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results.
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto
the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack
upward and slide the rack back into place.

Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware
do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven
cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in
the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
