important Safety instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
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 Rernovable 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 aventilating hood, turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
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.

Before Setting Surface Controls
• General Cooktop Information
• About Radiant Surface Elements
• Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
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).
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.
ii iii _I
ii iii_ I
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
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 istoo small
for the radiant element or if the pan bottom is not flat. Refer to page 15 for more details about using proper cookware on the
cooktop. ....
Locations of the Radiant
Surface Elements and
Controls
Your range isequipped with radiant
surface burners the have eight
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
(refer to Fig. 3); a 6 inch radiant
element located at the right rear
position; a 6 / 9 / 12 inch Triple
radiant element located at the right
front position (See page 12); a
Warmer Zone radiant element at
the center rear position (See page
14); and two 8 inch radiant elements
located at both the left front and rear
positions. Located between the left
front and rear elements is a Bridge
radiant element (See page 13).

• Electronic Surface Element Controls (ESEC)
• Available ESEC Display Settings
• Hot Surface Indicator Lights
• ESEC Lockout Feature (- -)
Cooktop Sabbath Day Feature and Message (Sb)
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. 1O.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.

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.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned
off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before
it has cooled sufficiently.

* Setting Warmer Zone Control
Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot
such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads,
pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is
not recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.
All food placed on the Warmer Zone should be covered with a lid to
maintain moisture. For best results when warming pastries or
breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to
escape. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to cover food.
Plastic or aluminum foil may melt onto the cooktop.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and
cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.
Warmer Zone Temperature Selection
Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels
(See Fig. 1). If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium
level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.
