Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob or touch pad 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 spiliovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do Net 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.

FEATURE OVERVIEW
General Cooktop Information
About Radiant Surface Burners
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 )rovide 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.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a tmiter 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 F'_
small for the radiant element or if the pan bottom is not flat. Refer to page 13 for more details about using proper
cookware on the cooktop.
Fig. 1
Locations of the Radiant
Surface Elements and
Controls
Your range is equipped 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 10); a
Warmer Zone radiant element at
the center rear position (See page
12); 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 11).

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

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.
