Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Always turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting
the burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then

adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge
of the utensil.

Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select

utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will

expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact
and may result in ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship
of utensil to the surface burner will also improve
efficiency.

= When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or =

grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

in case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn

off the main gas shutoff valve.
= 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 turns off and the power resumes, the
oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended
could catch fire or spoil.

Use proper flame size--Adjust flame size

so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
The use of undersize utensils will exposed a portion of the

burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also

improve efficiency.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner

grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on
a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion
and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your

health.

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.

Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners--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

burners.
Never leave surface burners 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 appliance. Only use

aluminum foil as recommended for baking ifused 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 intemperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop

USe.

= Do not use decorative surface burner covers. Ifa

burner 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 or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

= Do not clean or operate a 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 glass with caution--if awet 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.

important

• 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/

warmerdrawer.

Safety Instructions

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 instructionsfor cleaning.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located at the rear of the cooktop. 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.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or

passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a

fire hazard.

• Placementofoven/warmerdrawer(ifequipped)racks.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/
warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. Jfrack 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 inthe 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.

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 i'_-

in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

= The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self=
cleaning cycle of the range. Move the 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.

= 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.

Before Setting Surface Controls

Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

(For models with Porcelain Cooktop =Figure 1)

Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with different

BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger

volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate

sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position

on the cooktop.
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface cooking

needs. This standard burner is located at the left front position on

the cooktop.
The POWER burners are best used for bringing large quantities of

liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities

of food. The 2 POWER burners are located at the right front and

left rear positions on the cooktop.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the
amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and
flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend

beyond the outer edge of the pan.

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 wood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

In the event of an electrical power outage,
the surface burners can be lit manually.
To light a surface burner, hold a lit match
to the burner head, then slowly turn the

surface control knob to LITE. After burner
lights push in and turn knob to desired

setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.

Figure 1

Operating the Gas Surface Controls:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of
the OFF position (See Figure 1).

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only
the burner you are turning on will ignite.

4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.

5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size.
The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the

knob indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook
with the surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic
ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a
guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The
size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for cooking.

Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.

Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
*These settings are based on using medium=weight metal or

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types
of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A
good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each
cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-

orange.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount
and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size
appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer
edge of the pan.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned
by the flame (Figure 2).

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control
knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be
greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center
will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once
as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

Setting the Bridge Burner (some models)

The Bridge Burner should be used with rectangular shaped cookware.
Cookware like the cast-iron Griddle that is supplied with your range is designed
specifically for best results with the Bridge Burner.

The Bridge Burner feature may be used to combine the cooking power of 2 or if
needed 3 gas surface Burners located along the left-hand side of the glass
cooktop. The left rear and left center Burners are controlled by the left rear surface
Control Knob. In addition the left front Burner may be added to the Bridge Burner
with the left front gas Control Knob (See Figure 1).

Operating the Bridge Burner (some models)

1. Push the left rear surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of
the OFF position (See Figure 2).

2. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (See Figures 2 & 3). Note:
All electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the

selected surface Burner will lite.

3. Visually check that the left rear Burner has lit.

4. Continue to rotate the gas control knob clockwise past the first LO setting to
the arrow marked BRIDGE.

5. Visually check that both the left rear and left center Burners are lit.

6. When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob
counterclockwise to adjust to the desired flame size for both burners
together. Note: The markings between the 2nd HI and LO settings on the left
rear control knob adjust the flame size for both burners. Use the guide marks
between the 2nd HI and LO settings and adjust the flame size as needed
(Refer to Figure 3).

7. Add the left front Burner if needed. Once lit, visually adjust the flame size of
the left front Burner to match the flame size of the Bridge Burner.

8. Place cooking utensil centered over the left-hand cooktop surface Burner
Grate. DO NOT cook with any of the surface control knobs in the LITE
position (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the
LITE position).

Note: If only the left rear surface Burner is needed, follow the instructions
provided below.

Figure 1

Operating only the Left rear Gas Surface Burner (some models)

1. Place cooking utensil centered over the left-rear surface Burner Grate.

2. Push the left rear surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of
the OFF position (See Figure 2).

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All electronic surface

ignite.
Visually check that the left-rear burner has lit. Adjust the
flame size by turning the control knob between the first HI
and LO settings (See Figure 3). DO NOT cook with the

Surface Cooking

Use Proper Cookware

Cookware should
have flat bottoms that

make good contact
with the entire surface

heating element.
Check for flatness by

rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the Figure 1

cookware (See Figure

1). Be sure to follow

the recommendations for using cookware
as shown in Figure 2.

Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.

CORRECT

• Flat bottom and straight
sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt
pan. Pan is well balanced.

Pan sizes match the amount

of food to be prepared.

Made of material that

conducts heat well.

Easy to clean.

iNCORRECT

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

Pan overhangs burner grate by
more than 2.5 cm (1").

Heavy handle tilts pan.

Flame extends beyond pan.

Figure 2

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be

used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

Using a wok

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use

on your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores. Round-
bottomed woks (with a support ring
that does not extend beyond the
burner circumference) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed to
support the wok safely when it is filled
with large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.

Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the grates.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with

a metal ring that extends beyond the

burner circumference. Because this
ring traps heat, the surface unit and

cooktop surface could be damaged.

Care & Seasoning of the Griddle

Before first use:

• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.

• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
=Preheat your oven to 350°E Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.

Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before remov-

ing.

• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If
desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.

After each use:
=To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.

After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.

• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.

• Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before
storing.

Using the Griddle:

=Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over

the Bridge Burner. For location refer to Figure 1.

• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow
preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.

• DO NOT preheat the griddle on Hi setting. Preheating on HI may warp the
griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

_This range has afan that will turn "ON" and "OFF" by itself to keep the electronics cool. itmay 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 in the center rear on the
cooktop. When the oven ison, warm air passes through

the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation inthe oven and good baking results. DO NOT

BLOCK OVEN VENT. Never close off the openings with
aluminum foil or any other material.

cause burns.
Your appliance may be equipped with one

or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat
Handle Oven Rack (Figure 2) and Flat

Oven Half Rack (Figure 3).
The Flat Half Rack has a removable insert Figure 4

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 Figure 3). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front
insert side (See Figure 4) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear
hooks at back of insert (See Figure 5) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert
front hooks snap into rack (See Figure 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.

1 Oven Rack

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.

Setting Convection Bake

The CONVECTION BAKE _ pad controls the Convection Bake feature.
Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven

can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300 ° F
(149 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C).

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking
results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown
more evenly. Convection bake cooks most foods faster, more evenly and at
lower temperatures than conventional bake.

General Convection Bake Instructions
t. Convection Bake 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. The oven control automatically reduces the convection bake temperature
called for in a conventional bake recipe.

3. Preheating isnot necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection

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 high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to 5 hour time
period. The low setting is best for cooking foods from a 8 to 9 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 Timed Bake or a Delayed Start (Delayed Timed Bake).

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 (from bottom).

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

• 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 be 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.

The MEATS M_'_-A_S),CAKES _ and BREADS _ pads in the Food Categories feature are used when

cooking certain food items. These pads have been designed to give optimum cook performance for the foods selected
in each category.

The MEATS pad combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to roast meats and poultry. Preheating is
not necessary for meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
Foods are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside.

The CAKES pad provides a preheat with a gentle cycling of heat giving cakes more volume and allowing delicate foods
to cook more evenly.

The BREADS pad adds a preheat feature to the bake cycle to thoroughly heat the oven from top to bottom to give more
evenly browned foods. Refer to (Figure 4) for foods to cook in each category.

Roasting instructions for Meats Pad:

When using the Meats pad for roasting, use the broiler pan and insertalong with the
roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help prevent
grease spatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.

To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent

grease spattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.

1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. See Arranging
Oven Racks in this Use & Care Guide.

2. Place the insert in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the insert allowing the
heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase
browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the
insert in the broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert. DO NOT

cover the insert with aluminum foil.

3. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See Figure 5).

4. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.

Operating the Warmer Drawer

The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is
not recommended to heat cold food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered

with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the
drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer

Drawer.

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 Food Temperature Settings
Use the recommended settings in the Warmer Drawer settings table. If a

particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness
is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can

be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a
combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, meat with 2
vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do not
open the Warmer Drawer repeatedly while inuse.

Self-Cleaning

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.

JST_..J

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.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings inor 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 salad 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: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the

v DO NOT HAND oven bottom should be removed.

CLEAN SEAL

Note: See additional cleaning informa-
tion for the oven door in the General

Care & Cleaning section.

To avoid possible burns

use care when opening the oven door
after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the
door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

What to Expect during Cleaning

While the oven is inoperation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher
than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and

contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being
removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and
cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should

not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning
cycle.

How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control
knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy

water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze

excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around
the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the
appliance. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating
and cannot de removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of

both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a

soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray

liquids directly on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water
on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the
appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or

paper towels - they will damage the finish. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF

position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning,

line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Clean with hot, soapy water and dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth. Do not

use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use

harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for
cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as

bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven

during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It

is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable
oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to
the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult

to slide.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1

solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a

damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with
a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during

future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door.

Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO

NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass
cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or

any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven

material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should

be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance

proper cleaning is essential

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTopO 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 ifnot 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,
because they may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

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.

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 ifyou use an abrasive type
scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have
been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktop.

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.

41

General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and
some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more

difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven
cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave
soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any

circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils

Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals,
care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil
dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (StainlessSteel models only)

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining
the appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning
