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 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 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.

• 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
Fig. 1
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 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 15for more details about using proper cookware on the _'_
cooktop.
Fig. 2
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 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).

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).
