IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety symbols and statements. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of the use of the symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards such as fire, electrical shock, or other injuries.

wWARNING

General

•Read all instructions before using the range.

•Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. The range must be installed by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.

•WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping the appliance, the appliance must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. To check if the bracket is installed properly, see “The anti-tip bracket” on page 8.

•CAUTION: Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

•Do not leave children 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. They could be burned or injured.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

•Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.

•Do not touch surface units, areas near units, heating elements, or interior surfaces of oven. Surface units and heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. and interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units, areas near units, heating elements, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the range, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, and the oven door and window, could also become hot enough to cause burns.

Areas near surface units

continued on next page

Range Safety

•Do not operate the range if it is damaged or not working properly.

•Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit and you could be burned.

•Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could catch on fire.

•Keep range vents unobstructed.

•Do not heat unopened containers.

They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

•Use only cookware approved for oven use. Follow cookware manufacturer’s instructions, especially when using glass or plastic cookware.

•Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes could create an explosion and/or fire hazard.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

•Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the range.

When using the cooktop

•Do not cook on a broken ceramic glass cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers could penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

•Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and could result in the igniting of clothing or pot holders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency.

•Check to be sure glass cookware is safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glassceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

•Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that could ignite.

•Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.

Range Safety

•Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.

•Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

•Clean ceramic glass cooktop with care. Some cleaners could produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet paper towel is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.

When using the oven

•Always position oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be removed while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact hot heating elements in oven.

•Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

•Small amounts of formaldehyde and carbon monoxide are given off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these substances could cause cancer or reproductive harm. Exposure can be minimized by venting with a hood or open window and wiping out excess food spills prior to self-cleaning.

•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.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and other cookware. Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts unless you are instructed to do so in this Use and Care Guide.

•Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Clean only parts recommended in this Use and Care Guide.

When you use a control knob to turn on a surface unit, the Power On Light by that knob will glow.

cooktop surface will glow when the surface units get hot. The Indicator Lights will continue to glow as long as the surface units are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or burns.

Control setting guide

For best results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

HI • To start foods cooking.

• To bring liquids to a boil.

6MED HI5 • To hold a rapid boil.

• To fry chicken or pancakes.

MED • For gravy, pudding, and

icing.

• To cook large amounts of vegetables.

3MED LO2 • To keep food cooking

after starting it on a higher setting.

LO • To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Using the dual-size surface unit

(some models)

You can use the left front surface unit as either a small diameter, lower wattage element or large diameter, full wattage element.

Use both elements for larger pans

Use small element for smaller pans

To use the small element (for smaller pans):

• Push in and turn the control knob to the left (counterclockwise) to the desired setting in the area marked “SINGLE.”

To use both elements (for larger pans):

• Push in and turn the control knob to the

right (clockwise) to the desired setting in the area marked “DUAL.”

NOTE: You can turn the control knob in either direction to reach “OFF.”

The ceramic glass cooktop

Standard elements

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is almost the same as cooking on coil surface units. There are, however, a few differences:

• The cooking surface area will glow red when the element is turned on. You will see the element cycling on and off – even on the HI setting – to help the area stay at the temperature setting you choose.

• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before cooking. Food and water particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits on the cooktop when it is heated.

• Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and give you the most even heating. See pages 12 and 13 for care and cleaning suggestions.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

• Lift pots and pans onto and off of the

cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave marks that are difficult to remove or could leave permanent marks.

• Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. The container could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that cannot be removed completely.

• Model KERH507: The surface units on the right side of the cooktop feature halogen elements. These elements light up as soon as you turn them on, and are brighter than conventional coil elements.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Center over surface unit

• Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

• Do not allow anything that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to come in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

Cookware tips

• Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit.

• NOTE: For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with the surface units. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

You can, however, use the newer cookware available with slightly indented bottoms or very small expansion channels. This cookware is specially designed to provide the good contact needed for best cooking results.

Also, woks, canners, and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most stores that sell housewares.

• The pan should have straight sides and a tight-fitting lid.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick- ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface unit through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

• Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it. Be careful when using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.

• Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See pages 12 and 13 for more information.

• Handles should be made of sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

• With your hand, feel the bottom of your pans while they are cool for nicks and scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan bottoms will scratch the ceramic glass cooktop.

• Avoid spillovers on cooktop. Use pans with tall sides.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The cookware could overheat and damage the cookware or surface unit.

Home canning information

Pan

Surface

unit

• Use the largest surface unit for best results. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit.

• Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

• Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Caring for your cooktop

This cooktop is designed for easy care. However, ceramic glass cooktops need to be maintained differently than standard electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on coil elements. Because of this, the surface should be dust-free and soil-free before heating.

BAKEBA

Your cooktop has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme, a paper towel or a sponge, and a singleedge razor blade in a holder is all you need to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review the chart on page

13. Follow this chart after each use to ensure top performance and to preserve that uniquely elegant look.

To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow these instructions:

• Remove sugar spills and soils from the cooktop while the surface is still warm to avoid pitting on the surface.

• Marks from sliding metal pans on the cooktop are difficult to remove completely. Use cooktop polishing creme to clean the area. Several applications may be necessary.

• Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, abrasive powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia, or glass cleaning products with ammonia. These products could damage the cooktop surface.

NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Cleaning tips

What to use:

• Cooktop Polishing Creme with a paper

towel or clean, damp sponge – This

creme has been developed especially for cleaning and protecting your cooktop. When using, follow instructions on container.

• Razor scraper – Use to remove cooked- on soils from your ceramic glass cooktop. To avoid scratches, keep the razor blade as flat against the cooktop as possible.

Store razor blades out of reach of children.

Steps to follow:

1. Most spills (except sugary spills and

soils – see chart on this page) can be wiped off easily using a paper towel or clean, damp sponge as soon as Hot Surface Indicator Light(s) goes off.

2. For stubborn spills, rub Cooktop Polish-

ing Creme into cooked-on soil using a paper towel. If some soil remains, leave some creme on the spot(s) and follow Step 3.

3. Carefully scrape spots with a single-

edge razor blade in a holder.

4. Finish by polishing entire cooktop

with Cooktop Polishing Creme and a paper towel.

To order Cooktop Polishing Creme (Part No. 3184477), call 1-800-422-1230

and follow the instructions and telephone prompts you hear.

How to keep your cooktop looking like new:

IF THERE ARE Sugary spills

and soils (such

as jellies and candy syrups)

Dark streaks, specks, and discoloration

Metal marks

(from copper or aluminum pans)

Tiny scratches or abrasions

WHAT TO DO

To prevent pitting on the cooktop, wipe up with a paper towel or clean, damp sponge

while ceramic glass surface is still warm.

Remove as soon as possible after spill occurs.

Use Cooktop Polishing Creme or nonabrasive cleanser with a damp paper towel or sponge.

Use Cooktop Polishing Creme or nonabrasive cleanser with a damp paper towel or sponge before heating the cooktop again. If heated before cleaning, metal marks may not come off.

Scratches and abrasions do not affect cooking. In time, they will become less visible as a result of cleaning. To prevent scratches and abrasions, use Cooktop Polishing Creme regularly.

NOTE: Always wipe and dry your cooktop thoroughly after using cleanser to prevent streaking or staining.

Adjusting oven temperature

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below. The control will “remember” the selected offset even after the power has been interrupted or lost.

1. Choose Bake setting.

PRESS

and hold

for 4 seconds

BAKE

NOTE: Do not measure oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an inaccurate reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.

Release the Bake pad when a number appears in the temperature display and you hear a tone.

2. Set new offset temperature.

PRESS

Each time you press the Bake pad, the displayed temperature will increase by 5°F. To decrease the temperature, hold down the Bake pad until the display goes past 35°F. At that point the display will return to 0 and will then decrease 5°F for every time you press the Bake pad. You can set the offset temperature adjustment as low as -35°F or as high as +35°F. (To determine the amount of adjustment needed, see the chart on page 24.)

Using the temperature probe

The Temperature Probe is the most accurate guide to the degree of doneness of meat. Use it when baking, roasting any type of meat or poultry, or cooking casseroles with liquid.

1. Insert probe into food.

Insert the probe into the center of the thickest portion of meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone.

2. Put food in oven.

Place meat on the convection roasting rack, place rack on broiler pan, and place pan in the center of the oven.

Variable temperature broiling

• If food is cooking too fast or you want the

food to broil slower from the start, set the broil temperature between 170°F and 325°F (77°C and 163°C). These temperature settings allow the broil heating element to cycle and to slow cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.

Broiling tips

• Always start broiling with a cold broiler

pan for even results.

• To retain more natural juice, do not

pierce meat with a fork.

• Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks

and chops.

• Slit fatty edges to prevent meat from

curling during broiling.

• Use a nonstick cooking spray or veg-

etable oil on the broiler pan and grid when

broiling fish to prevent sticking.

Timed cooking

The electronic clock/oven control will turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around.

Delayed time cooking is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do not use

delayed time cooking for cakes, cookies, etc. – they will not rise properly. Before using timed cooking, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day.

(See “Setting the clock” on page 18.)

To start baking/roasting now and stop automatically:

1. Prepare oven.

Position the oven rack(s) properly and place the food in the oven. For correct rack placement, see “Rack positions” on page 41 and “Rack placement” chart on page 41.

Cooking tips

Baking tips

The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

For best air circulation:

• Place the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

• For best results, allow 11⁄2 to 2 inches of

space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

• When baking with one pan, place pan in

the center of the oven rack.

• When baking with two pans, place pans

in opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory baking or roasting results. Rely on your timer.

Rack positions

For proper cooking, follow these guidelines:

• When using one rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

• When using two racks, place one rack in position 1 and the other rack in position 3.

• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time when using the Bake setting.

Bakeware tips

• When baking with insulated cookie sheets or baking pans, place them in the

bottom third of the oven. You may need to increase the recommended baking times, so test for doneness before removing from the oven.

• When using ovenproof glassware or dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-

ture by 25°F, but use the same baking time. Because these pans absorb heat, producing darker bottom browning and crispier crusts, place the rack in the center of the oven. When baking pies and bread, you can use the temperature suggested in the recipe.

Rack placement for specific foods:

(For rack positions, see “Rack positions” in previous column.)

RACK

FOOD

POSITION

No. 5 No. 4 No. 3 No. 2 No. 1

Your oven has two straight racks and five rack positions. Rack position 5 is the highest position, or farthest from the bottom of the oven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position, or closest to the bottom of the oven.

Frozen pies Angel food and bundt

U sing and Caring for Your Oven

Using aluminum foil in the oven

(For thermal baking)

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles.

• Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn foil edges up and make sure foil is about 1 inch larger all around than the dish holding the food.

• Do not cover the entire rack with alumi- num foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cooking results.

• Do not line oven bottom or entire oven rack with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of your baking.

Convection baking tips

(convection bake pad)

• Do not use aluminum foil when convection baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.

• Reduce recommended recipe oven temperature by approximately 25°F. See recipe adaption chart in your convection oven cookbook for recommended temperatures.

• For most recipes, you can reduce con- vection baking time compared to standard baking times. See convection baking chart in your convection oven cookbook for recommended baking times.

• When baking on two or three racks, use the Convection Bake setting for more even results. (You can, however, use only one rack when Convection Baking.)

• To use three racks during convection baking, place racks in position 5 (the

highest position), 3 and 1 (the closest to the oven bottom). This allows all three racks to be an equal distance apart for better baking.

• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in opposite directions on each rack when three racks are used.

Roasting tips

• Roast meats fat-side up in a shallow pan using a roasting rack.

• Use a roasting pan that fits the size of the food to be roasted. Meat juices may overflow the sides of a pan that is too small. Too large of a pan will result in increased oven spatter.

• Spatter can be reduced by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.

NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when you use more than one rack.

• A foil tent will slow down surface browning for long-term roasting, as when roasting a turkey. Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat to allow for air circulation. Do not seal foil or meat will be steamed.

U sing and Caring for Your Oven

• Use an accurate meat thermometer or

temperature probe (see page 24) to

determine when meat has reached desired degree of doneness. Insert the thermometer or probe into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For an accurate reading, the tip of the thermometer or probe should not touch fat, bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once,

push it further into the meat 1⁄2 inch or more and read again. If the temperature drops, return the meat to the oven for more cooking.

• Check pork and poultry with a thermom- eter in 2-3 places to ensure adequate doneness.

• Poultry and roasts will be easier to carve if loosely covered with foil and

allowed to stand 10-15 minutes after removal from the oven.

• You can reduce roasting times and temperatures for most standard recipes when using the Convection Roast setting. See convection roasting chart in your convection oven cookbook for recommended roasting times and temperatures.

• Use the convection roasting rack on the broiler pan (both included with your range). (The convection roasting rack rests on the broiler pan, not inside it.) The long side of the rack should be parallel with the oven door for best heat distribution and airflow.

NOTE: Place the convection roasting rack on the broiler pan with grid to contain the drippings as the meat roasts.

Your oven may have a standard oven light or two side halogen lights. The oven light(s) will come on when you open the oven door. To turn the light(s) on when the oven door is closed, press the Oven Light pad on the control panel. Press the pad again to turn off the light(s).

Replacing the oven light (models with light on back wall):

1. Disconnect appliance at main power supply. Make sure the oven is cool before replacing the light bulb.

2. Remove the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven by screwing it out counterclockwise.

3. Remove the light bulb from its socket. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appli-

ance bulb.

4. Replace the bulb cover by screwing it in clockwise. Reconnect appliance at main power supply.

Replacing oven lights (models with side halogen lights):

1. Disconnect appliance at the main power supply. Make sure the oven is cool before replacing the light bulb.

2. Remove glass light cover by grasping front edge of cover and pulling it away from the side wall of the oven.

3. Remove the light bulb from its socket. Replace the bulb with another halogen

bulb (12 volt, 5 watt maximum, available at most hardware stores).

4. Replace the light cover by snapping it back into wall. Reconnect appliance at main power supply.

NOTE: The oven lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

NOTE: The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

sing the Self-Cleaning Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with handcleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycle properly, follow the step-by-step instructions in this section.

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or

illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

DO NOT hand-clean gasket

Hand-clean frame

Hand-clean door around edge

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steelwool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. Poor cleaning, baking and roasting may result.

• Remove the broiler pan and grid and anything else being stored in the oven.

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the SelfCleaning cycle.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard

• Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is heated to a high temperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or pitting.

• Remove the oven racks from the oven if

you want them to remain shiny. You can clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will discolor and become harder to slide. If you clean racks in the SelfCleaning cycle, place them on the rack guides.

• Heat and odors are normal during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.

NOTES:

• Do not block the vent during the Self-

Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

• Do not leave plastic utensils on the

cooktop. They may melt.

• Do not leave any foil in oven during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

• The oven lights will not work during the

Self-Cleaning cycle.

For best cleaning results

• After the oven cools to room tempera-

damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain, clean with a mild abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get

the oven as clean as you expected, the

cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand-clean areas noted on page 47.

SECMINHR

How the cycle works

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.

Your oven is preset for a 3-hour SelfCleaning cycle. However, the cycle time can be adjusted to the amount of soil in your oven. The cycle can be set anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See “Setting the controls” on page 48.)

The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes longer for the oven to cool enough to unlock.
