any part of the appliance.
DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEARTHESE
UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface 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 cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and

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--Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven doors 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 ovens off. If the ovens are not turns off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit,
o
Use proper pan size. This appliance isequipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
surface heating to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface
unit will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units--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 units 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 if used asa
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 in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an
element 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.
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 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
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door--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 ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near each side and towards the
back 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 an
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are 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 ovens. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The
broiler pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
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 instructions for cleaning.
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.
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 ovens 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 tile gasket.
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.
Remove oven racks. Oven rackscolor will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

Canning Tips &
Information
Canning
can generate large
amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to
prevent burns. Always
raise the lid to vent steam
away from you.
O
I. Usetested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative
Agricultural Extension Serviceor a manufacturer of glassjars for the latest canning
information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is
flat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring the water
to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain a constant boil.
5. It is bestto can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop:
I. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch beyond the
edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to
cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars
are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained continuously for the required time.

The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic glass surface.
The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface heating unit below. Most
importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the surface unit.
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be
used. The type and size of cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the
surface units are factors that will affect the amount of the heat that will spread to areas
surrounding the units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause
burns.
The cooktop should not be used asa cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard
objects on the cooktop may crack it. Panswith rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop
surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without utensils) isnot
recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire
hazard. Never use the griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass cooktop.
Types of Heating Units Used
REGULAR RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)
The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.
Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels. Knobs need first to be pressed in when
at OFFposition, then turned to the desired heat settings.
A glowing red surface extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the
utensil istoo small for the unit. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a
particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot
surface and surface indicator lights will glow.
Note: A built-in protector will automatically turn off the radiant and expandable radiant
element if the ceramic-glass temperature exceeds the set limit.

Main Oven
Broiling informations
Broiling isa method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat from the broil element of
the oven. Meats are placed on the broiling rack and the rack is placed under the broiling
element.
Seethe broiling instructions for main oven in the Settinq Oven Controls section.
Seeside oven step-by-step instructions in the Setting Side Oven Control section.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan before preheating;
food will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILas
instructed in the Setting Oven Controls section. Wait for the element to become red-hot,
usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food isbrowned; turn and cook on the other side; season and
serve.Always pull rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary; watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the
element, but on the thickness and age of meat, fat content and aloneness preferred. The first
side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require
additional time.
Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed
grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the
fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water
or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Always pull oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips:
To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover
the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven assoon as
cooking iscompleted. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off
grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel
wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
