IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If
the range isnot turned off and the power resumes, the range
will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset
the clock and oven function.
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 Units--To reduce the risk of bums,
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 not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers 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 range. Only use aluminum
foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use,
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS
• DO Not Cook on Broken Cooktop--lf 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 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 noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--
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 below the backguard. 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 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 potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do 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 aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control.
When using the appliance for the first time, or when the
appliance has not been used for an extended period of time,
be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C)
for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the
appliance
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. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions
for cleaning.
• 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.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Owner's Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and any utensls 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.

Surface Cooking
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the
surface of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of
the surface unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the
pan matches the diameter of the unit. Heat istransferred up through the
surface of the cooktop to the cooking utensil. Only fiat-bottomed pans
should be used. The type and size of the cookware, number of surface units
in use and the settings of the units are factors that will affect the amount
of heat that will spread to areas surrounding the surface units. The areas
surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans
with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods
directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to
glass or difficulty in cleaning will result.
Radiant Surface Units
The Radiant Surface Unit is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic
fixture below the glass cooktop. The unit temperature rises gradually and t'tl
evenly. As the temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the Z
selected setting, the unit will cycle on and off. The heating unit retains _'_
enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle, r-
The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat
in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes I
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the
cooking process. The amount of residual heat depends on the type and
quality of cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and the
selected heat setting.
Dual Radiant Surface Units (if equipped)
The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within
the same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for
operating the different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower
wattage and can be used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller
pans. The larger unit or both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage
and can be used to prepare larger quantities of food in larger pans. When
using the outer coil, both inner and outer coils operate.
Indicator Light(s) There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your range--a
surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator.
The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any
surface unit is turned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an
easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot cooktop surface indicator, located under the glass cooktop or on
the control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and
will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a
moderate level.
Setting Surface
Controls
Radiant Surface Unit Control
To Operate Radiant Surface Units
Push in and turn the Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the
desired setting, Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting, Start most cooking operations on a higher setting; then turn
to a lower setting to finish. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for
the unit. The 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,
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Units (if equipped)
Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. • Indicates inner coil only.
(_) Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from
either coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn
the Dual Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired
setting.
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
glasstop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too
small for the element or if the pan bottom is not flat.
After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to
touch either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will
turn dark in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if
the units are touched at this time.
Dual Radiant Surface Unit Controls
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 unit.
