following:
■
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE
SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP
DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE
INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD,
LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY
ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK
SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP
BRACKET.
■
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range
reach items could be seriously injured.
■
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the
Room.
■
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not
be left alone or unattended in area where the range
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the range.
■
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
range.
■
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of
the range unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
■
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven or near surface
units.
■
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
■
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
■
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS – Surface units 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 contact surface units or
areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and
surfaces facing the cooktop.
– children climbing on the range to
■ Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. 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 burner
will also improve efficiency.
■ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
■ Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
■ Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or
fire.
■ Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
■ 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 a utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
■ Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements –
Heating elements should never be immersed in
water.
■ Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If 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 With Caution – If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.

Ceramic Glass
(on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to
change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more
information, see “General Cleaning” section.
■
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack it.
■
Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools,
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and
the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
■
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.
■
Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware
or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.
■
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on
the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be
removed completely.
■
Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
■
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
Warming Element

■
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm)
outside the area.
1. Surface Cooking Area
2. Cookware/Canner
3. 1 in. (2.5 cm) Maximum Overhang
■
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
■
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
■
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
■
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
■
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass)
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking
area(s) is turned off.
Dual-Circuit Element
(on ceramic glass models)
1. Single size
2. Dual size
The Dual Circuit Element offers flexibility depending on the size of
the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a
regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer
element and is recommended for larger cookware.
To Use SINGLE:
1.
Push in and turn knob counterclockwise from OFF to the
SINGLE zone anywhere between HI and LO.
2.
Push in and turn knob to OFF when finished.
To Use DUAL:
1.
Push in and turn knob clockwise from OFF to the DUAL zone
anywhere between HI and LO.
2.
Push in and turn knob to OFF when finished.
Simmer Feature
(on ceramic glass models)
The Simmer feature is an adjustable heat setting for more precise
simmering. It is the right front surface cooking area or element.
When the Simmer feature is not on, the right front surface cooking
area or element will function as usual.
When this feature is on, the wattage to the burner is significantly
reduced. It provides a wide range of temperatures for simmering.
Choose from the higher levels for stocks and water-based foods
or the lower levels for sauces, puddings and gravies.
To Use:
1.
Set SIMMER switch to ON.
2.
Set SIMMER switch to OFF when finished.

Warming Element
(on ceramic glass models)
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
Use the Warming Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour
is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warming Element can be used alone or when any of the other
surface cooking areas are being used. The Warming Element area
will not glow red when cycling on. However, its indicator light will
glow as long as the Warming Element area is too hot to touch.
■
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use.
■
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture
to escape.
■
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
■
Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls
(on some models)
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also
help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the coil
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess
heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more
information, see the “General Cleaning” section.
NOTE:
Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the
Off position.
To Remove:
1.
Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then
lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.
2.
Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.
To Use:
1.
Set switch to ON.
2.
Set switch to OFF when finished.
3.
Lift out the burner bowl.
To Replace:
1.
Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element
receptacle.
2.
Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push
coil element terminal into the receptacle.
3.
When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will
go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the
receptacle.
9
Lift-up Cooktop
(on some models)
The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath.
Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and
the cooktop frame. For more information, see the “General
Cleaning” section.
To Lift:
Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into
place.
To Replace:
1.
Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support
rods back to unlock them.
2.
Slowly lower the cooktop into place.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area
or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5
cm) outside the cooking area.
■
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or
surface burners at the same time.
■
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
■
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil
element will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for
ordering instructions.
■
For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact
Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home
canning products can also offer assistance.
Cookware
IMPORTANT:
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.
■
Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
■
After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
¹⁄₂
in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
■
Check all meat in 2 or 3 places.
Oven Vent
1
1. Oven vent (on ceramic glass models)
1
1. Oven vent (on coil element models)
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Doing so will
cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results.
Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn
near the oven vent.
Oven Door Vent
1. Oven door vent
Hot air and moisture escape from the door vent during certain
oven modes. Some condensation may occur, however this will not
affect cooking performance.
Bake
1. Broil heat
2. Bake heat
The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating
casseroles.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil
element will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off
in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
1.
Press BAKE.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and
500°F (77°C and 260°C).
On some models, press the TEMPERATURE “up” or “down”
arrow pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than 350°F
(177°C).
14
2.
Press START.
“Lo°” will appear on the display if the actual oven temperature
is under 170°F (77°C).
On some models, “PrE” will appear on the display if the oven
temperature is under 170°F (77°C).
On some models, when the actual oven temperature reaches
170°F (77°C), the oven display will show the temperature
increasing in 5° increments.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will
sound.
3.
Press CANCEL OFF when finished cooking.
Broil
(Maxi/Econo on some models)
1
1. Broil Maxi 2. Broil Econo
■
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
■
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom
of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
■
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
■
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Use MAXI/ECONO
(on some models) for broiling regular-sized and smaller cuts of
meat, poultry and fish. Broil MAXI uses both top elements for
maximum browning coverage of foods. Broil ECONO uses the
inner element for browning coverage only in the center of foods.
Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling Chart. It is not
necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to
the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.
2
Variable Temperature Broiling (on some models)
Changing the temperature when Variable Temperature Broiling
allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the
temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly
shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower
broiling temperatures.
To Vari Broil:
1.
Press BROIL.
On some models, press once for Broil MAXI and twice for Broil
ECONO.
2.
Press the number pads to set a temperature between 170°F to
325°F (77°C to 163°C).
On some models, press the TEMPERATURE “up” or “down”
arrow pads (buttons) to set a temperature between 300°F and
525°F (149°C and 275°C).
3.
Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step. START does
not need to be pressed again.
4.
Press CANCEL OFF when finished.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered
from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the

Convection Cooking
3
2
1
(on some models)
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C) and cooking time can be shortened
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
■
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
■
Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door
when necessary.
■
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
■
Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as a
toothpick.
■
Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to
determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the
temperature of pork and poultry in two or three places.

Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry,
or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack.
During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan
constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the broil
element and fan will turn off immediately and the bake element
will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is
closed.
■
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.
To Convection Roast:
Before convection roasting, position racks according to the
1. Convection element heat and fan
Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and
pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger
items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is
full, extra cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) of
space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the convection and broil
elements and the bake element all heat the oven cavity. After
preheat, the convection element and the bake element will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan
constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or
preheating, the broil and convection element and fan will turn off
immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.
■
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.
To Convection Bake:
