Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan,
• 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 heating 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.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements_Te reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does net extend over adjacent surface
units,
• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilevers cause smoking and greasy spillevers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt,
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature, Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
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.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with
coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause
severe burns. Also, de net place plastic or heat-sensitive items on
or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hot use extreme caution. Use pethelders and grasp the rack with
both hands to repositien. De not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. 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 alumin am foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom, Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual,
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. 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.
•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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each
surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury,
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.

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. Heat istransferred up through the surface ofthe cooktop tothe cookware. Only flat-bottomed caokware
should be used. The type and size of coakware, the number of surface elements inuse 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.

@
The element temperature rises grad ually and evenly. As the
tem perature 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. The ceramic fixture
thermally insulates the heating element, concentrating heat
in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the
element several minutes before cooking is complete. This
will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
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 smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not fiat.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
@
Your range is eq uipped with two different surface control lights that will glow on your range-- the
Element On indicator light and a Hot Surface indicator light. The Element On located on the
control panel, will glow when any surface element is turned on. A quick glance at this light after
cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off. The Hot Surface indicator
light, located on the control panel, will glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN
ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.
Setting Surface Controls
To Operate Single Radiant Surface Elements
H_ SURFACE
@
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. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The
surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a
guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amou nt
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 iscompleted, turn the surface element off before removing the cookware. Note:
the Element On indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on.A quick glance
at the indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs
are turned off. The Hot Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is
turned to the "Off" position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (If equipped)
The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select element as you would any normal surface element on
the medium to high settings.
The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select feature. This feature allows the element to heat at a much
lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. This allows you to precisely simmer delicate foods.
You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at any time during the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob
indicator between MAX and MIN for simmering or between MED and HI for normal cooking.
NOTE: The element will not operate if the knob is positioned in the space between MAX and MED.
