RANGE SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without having the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved. See the installation instructions for details.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.
Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:
"'Bracket
Anti-Tip
Ra
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of
potential exposure to such substances. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed, including benzene, formaldehyde, carbon
monoxide, and toluene.
Slide range forward.
Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor or wall.
Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARN(NG: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow
basic precautions, including the 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 OR WALL, 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 - children climbing on the range to 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.
[] 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.
[] Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. [] Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
[] DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. 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 heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors. For self-cleaning ranges - [] 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.
[] 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. [] Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual. [] Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and
other utensils. For units with ventilating hood -
[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. [] When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more visible, and may require more cleaning and care. Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For more information, see "General Cleaning" section.
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
6
To avoid damage to the cooktop, 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.
To avoid scratches, 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.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm)
outside the area.

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.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum Heats quickly and evenly.
Suitable for all types of cooking.
Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
Cast iron
Heats slowly and evenly.
Good for browning and frying.
Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or Ceramic glass
Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Heats slowly, but unevenly.
Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.
Copper Heats very quickly and evenly. Earthenware Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain See stainless steel or cast iron. enamel-on- steel or cast iron
A. Surface cooking area B. Cookware/canner
C. 7/2"(1.3 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. To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly
on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and 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.
Stainless steel Heats quickly, but unevenly.
A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.
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. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking
area or element.
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. For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

NUMBER OF POSITION ON RACK
PAN(S)
1 Center of rack. 2 Side by side or slightly staggered.
3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure
that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating foods. 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 30 seconds to 2 minutes. They will come back on once the
door is closed.
To Bake:
Before baking, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
For baking, allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven.
1. Press BAKE.
2. Select the oven temperature using the Quickset pads. OR
Enter the desired temperature using the number pads. The temperature can be set from 170°F (80°C) to 550°F (288°C) in 5° (1° in Celsius) increments.
3. Press ENTER to set. After 3 seconds, the oven will begin to preheat. "BAKE" and
"PREHEAT" will appear in the display along with "100 °'' ("38 °" in Celsius) or the actual oven temperature, whichever is higher.
The temperature in the display will increase in 1° increments until the oven reaches the preset temperature. Allow about 15 minutes for the oven to preheat.
When the oven is preheated, the oven will beep and "PREHEAT" will disappear from the display.
To change the oven temperature during cooking, press BAKE and select a displayed temperature or use the number pads to enter the desired temperature.
4. Press CANCEL when finish cooking. Remove food from the oven.
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 avoid 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.
Expect broil times to increase and browning to be slightly lighter if the range is installed on a 208-volt circuit.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. Preheat broil for about 5 minutes. 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.
To Broil:
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
1. Press BROIL.
2. "HIGH" and "LOW" will be displayed. Select HIGH (550°F/290°C) for normal broiling or LOW
(450°F/230°C) for low-temperature broiling. OR
To select a broil temperature other than High or Low, enter the desired temperature (300°F/149°C to 550°F/288°C) using
the number pads and press ENTER.
3. Press CANCEL when finished.
BROILING CHART For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil

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 helps maintain 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 with lids or aluminum foil so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only 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 using a toothpick.
Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe (on some models) to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.
Convect Bake can be used to bake and cook foods on single or 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" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven. Allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the broil elements and the bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection 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 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.
