Important Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before using this appliance. Save these instructions for future reference.

This manual contains important safety symbols and instructions. Please pay attention to these symbols and follow all instructions given.

This symbol will help alert you to situations that may cause serious bodily harm, death or property damage.

This symbol will help alert you to situations that may cause bodily injury or property damage.

• Remove all tape and packaging before using the range.

Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

• Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local electrical code requirements. Install only per installation instructions provided

in the literature package for this range. Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an

authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

• User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the

appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a

qualified technician. This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by

removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to

climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be

seriously injured.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer

(if equipped) for storage.

Never Use Your Appliance for Warming

or Heating the Room.

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units or in the storage drawer. This includes

paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

• Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any

part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements

may be hot even though they are dark in color. 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 areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• 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 range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range.

If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

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—To 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 not extend over adjacent surface units.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers 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, 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.

• 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.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top—If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top

and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cook Top 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 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.

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks

To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.

Fig. 1

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Refer to Fig. 2. Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven

Rack (Fig. 1), Flat Oven Half Rack (Fig. 2) and Offset Rack (Fig. 3). To maximize cooking space

the Offset Rack can be used in the lowest rack position to roast large cuts of meat and poultry.

The Flat Half Rack has a removable insert that can provide extra space for larger food items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a casserole dish (See Fig. 5). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Fig. 4) of the rack and tilt out clockwise . To reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See 1-Fig. 5) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into rack (See 2-Fig. 5).

Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or rear walls.

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 be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Before Setting Surface Controls

• General Cooktop Information

• About Radiant Surface Elements

• Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

• Locking & Unlocking the Cooktop

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 (See Figs. 1, 2, 3 & 4).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. The type and size and condition of the 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. Note: 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 any remaining heat to complete the cooking process.

Fig. 1

Fig. 3 Fig. 4

Fig. 2

ENGLISH

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 smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the pan bottom is not flat. Refer to page 17 for more details about using proper cookware on the cooktop.

NOTE: Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist section of this manual.

To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature

The pad is used to activate the Cooktop Lockout feature which will lock all surface elements from being accidentally turned ON (including Warmer Zone). This feature will only

lock the cooktop.

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature ON:

1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position.

2. Press and hold until a 2nd beep sounds. If a triple beep sounds instead, check

all surface elements and turn them to the OFF position and repeat this step. The Cooktop Locked indicator light will turn ON and the cooktop controls and functions are locked out until the cooktop is unlocked (See Fig. 5).

Fig. 5

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature OFF:

1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position.

2. Press and hold until a 2nd beep sounds (after 3 seconds). If a triple beep sounds

instead, check all surface elements and turn them to the OFF position and repeat this step. The Cooktop Locked indicator light will turn OFF and the cooktop may be used normally (See Fig. 6).

Note: Starting a Self-Clean cycle will automatically turn ON the Cooktop Lockout feature. The cooktop will remain locked until the Self-Clean cycle has completed and the oven door has unlocked. If a power failure occurs after the Cooktop Lockout has been activated, you must turn OFF the Cooktop Lockout feature before being able to use the cooktop features again.

Setting Surface Controls

• Electronic Surface Element Controls (ESEC)

• Available ESEC Display Settings

• Hot Surface Indicator Lights

• Cooktop Sabbath Day Feature and Message (Sb)

• ESEC Lockout Feature (- -)

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control (“ESEC”) feature provides a digital display of the radiant surface elements on the cooktop. The ESEC displays in combination with the touch pads are designed to replace the conventional control knob and power level tick mark indicators.

In addition your range includes shared radiant element touch pad settings. The “Bridge” element combinations and Triple radiant element settings are also shown in the ESEC display windows.

The available ESEC Window Display Settings

The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig.

6) and OFF (Fig. 7) that will display in the ESEC windows. The settings

between 9.0 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between 3.0 (Figs. 3 & 4) and 1.0 (Fig. 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo ( Fig. 6; lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use the Recommended Surface Setting Chart (See page 11, Fig. 1) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.

Hot Surface Indicator Lights

After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time. The backguard control monitors the temperature for 5 positions on the cooktop. The “Hot Surface” indicator light (Fig. 8) will glow whenever any of the element positions becomes HOT. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON while hot and turn OFF once the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 9).

ESEC PF message

The ESEC will display the PF message whenever there has been a power interruption to the appliance. PF will appear in the ESEC display windows as shown in Fig. 10. To clear the PF message touch any ON/OFF ESEC control pad to reset and be sure to reset the clock with the correct time of day if necessary. If the PF displays again repeat these steps.

Fig. 8

Cooktop Sabbath Day Feature and (Sb) Message

The ESEC will display the Sb messages whenever the Sabbath Day feature is active (Fig. 11). When activated, the Sabbath Day Feature works for both the oven and cooktop together. Once the Sabbath Day Feature is active, changes to the heat levels for the cooktop elements will not show in the displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level changes. To set the Sabbath Day feature see the complete instructions on page 32.

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature is active. Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active, " - - " will appear in any display window (See Fig. 12. Also refer to the Oven Lockout instructions on page 21).

Surface Cooking

SensaCook™ (some models)

Some models come with SensaCook™, a pan sensing feature. The SensaCook™ key will activate or deactivate pan sensing feature and the dual element pan sizing features (Fig. 1).

The LED light located above the SensaCook™ pad (Fig. 1) will indicate when this feature is active. If the feature is active, any cooking zone marked SensaCook™ Element (Fig. 2) will begin to heat only when properly sized metallic cookware is placed on one of the surface cooking zones.

If metallic cookware is not used or if metallic cookware is not properly centered on the cooking zone, the surface element control display will flash the power level setting indicating that the cooking zone is not heating. When proper cookware has been detected, the surface element control will display the power level without flashing.

If the SensaCook™ feature is active and the cookware is removed from heating zone while cooking, the SensaCook™ feature will deactivate the affected cooking zone and will stop heating (the display will flash the power level). If the cookware is not placed back on the cooking zone within 1 minute, the cooktop control will provide a reminder beep. If the cookware is not placed back on the cooking zone within 5 minutes the SensaCook™ feature will completely deactivate the affected cooking zone and flush the previous power level setting automatically.

Any cooking zone may also be used without activating the SensaCook™ feature. If deactivated, the cooking zone elements produce heat when using all types of cookware.

When the SensaCook™ feature is active, the Element Size keypad for the Bridge Element will be available for setting. The Element Size keypad for the Dual Element will not be available, but the SensaCook™ pan sensing system will automatically detect and set the proper pan size. The SensaCook™ feature does not work with the Warming Zone element (See Fig. 3).

• Using Proper Cookware

• Cookware Material Types

• Arranging Warmer Drawer Racks

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 1).

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated.

For more information about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in the

General Care & Cleaning section.

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

ENGLISH

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists

staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic 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.

Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Drawer Rack Positions

The rack can be used in two ways:

• In the upward position (See Fig. 1) to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).

• In the downward position (See Fig. 2) to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Always use potholders or

oven mitts when removing food from the Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

Warmer Drawer Humidity Controller Feature

Fig. 3

This feature may be used to control humidity levels in the Warmer Drawer. The control knob is located on the inner front panel of the Warmer Drawer.

To help keep foods moist, move the handle to the right. This closes the vents and helps keep the moisture inside the Warmer Drawer. For crisp foods, move the handle to the left. This opens the vents and allows more of the moisture to escape.

For Dry Heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the direction of (Less) (See Fig. 1). This allows more of the moist heat to escape and provides a dryer environment for the food in the Warmer Drawer.

For Moist Heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the direction of (More) (See Fig. 2). This will help keep the food in the Warmer Drawer from drying out. Both heat and moisture will be applied to the Warmer Drawer cavity.

Note: For some types of servings you may want to store previously prepared food in a “dry heat” environment. For frequent controller adjustments, slightly loosen humidity controller knob and slide to any desired position. To maintain a desired setting, adjust controller knob into position and tighten knob.

• Using the Meat Probe

Using and Setting Meat Probe

Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most effective way of insuring that your food has been properly cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the meat probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts, testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure properly cooked meats.

Important things to consider:

• Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other may result in damage to the probe or the appliance.

• Handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing from the food or the receptacle.

• Do not use tongs to pull the cable when inserting or removing from the food or the receptacle.

• Defrost your food completely before inserting the probe to avoid damaging probe.

• Never leave or store the probe inside the oven when not in use.

• To prevent the possibility of burns, after cooking carefully unplug the probe using a pot holder.

Proper Meat Probe placement

• Always insert the probe so that the tip

rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan.

• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe

into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint . For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into the center of the food. To find the center of the food visually measure with the probe (See Fig. 1). When cooking fish, insert the probe just above the gill.

• Setting Convection Bake

Benefits of Convection Bake:

—Multiple oven rack baking. —No special pans or bakeware needed.

Setting Convection Bake

The CONV BAKE pad controls the Convection Bake feature. Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The

oven can be programmed for Convection Bake at any temperature between 170° F (77° C) to 550° F (288° C).

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.

Air circulation of Convection Cooking

Fig. 1

Tips for Convection Bake

1. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be

baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.

3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place

the oven racks in positions 2 and 5 (for 2 racks). Place in positions 1, 3 and 6 (for 3 racks). Refer to Fig. 1.

Setting the Slow Cook Feature

The SLOW COOK pad is used to activate this feature. The Slow Cook feature may be used to cook foods more slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provides cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The

Slow Cook feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal.

There are 2 settings available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The low setting is best for cooking foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period. The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to 5 hour time period. The maximum cook time for the Slow Cook feature is 12 hours unless the oven control has been changed to the Continuous Bake mode.This feature may be used with the additional settings of a Cook Time or a Delay Start.

Some tips you should review for best possible results using Slow Cook feature:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the Slow Cook.

• When using a single rack, place in position 2 or 3.

• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food item.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the

Slow Cook time may need to extended.

• Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will vary; depending on the weight, fat content, bone &

the shape of the roast.

• Use the recipe’s recommended food temperature and a food thermometer to determine when the food is done.

• Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking.

Self-Cleaning

• Preparing for a Self-Clean cycle

During the Self-Cleaning

cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.

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.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

ENGLISH

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any

part of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so

could cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

• Porcelain Oven racks do not have to be removed. After the cycle is

complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of vegetable oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

Note: See additional cleaning information for the oven door in the

General Care & Cleaning section.

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven

bottom should be removed.

General Care & Cleaning

• Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

• Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
