IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
The following instructions are based on
safety considerations and must be
strictly followed to eliminate the potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
Proper installation -- Be sure your
appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
Care should be given to location of
appliance -- Be sure floor covering un-
der appliance, walls adjacent to appliance, cabinetry adjacent to appliance,
and other materials adjacent to appliance can withstand prolonged heat.
This is a heavy appliance and can settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl. Use care when moving
range on this type of floor covering.
After appliance is installed -- B e c e r tain all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating the
unit. If appliance is installed near a window, take steps to prevent curtains
from blowing over sur face elements
creating a fire hazar d.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Storage above range -- To eliminate
the hazard of reaching over hot surface
elements, cabinet storage should not
be provided directly above a unit. If provided, storage should be limited to infrequently used items that can be safely
stored in an area subjected to heat.
Temperatures may be unsafe for some
items such as volatile liquids, c leaners,
or aerosol sprays. If cabinet storage is
provided, installation of a range hood
that projects at least 5--inches beyond
the bottom of the cabinet will reduce the
hazards associated with such storage.
Wear proper apparel -- Loose--fitting
or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance.
User servicing -- Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in the Owner’s Guide. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician. Always disconnect unit or cut--off power
to unit before any serv icing.
Storage in, on or near appliance --
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable materials, vapors and liquids
in the oven, near surface units or in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. Do not use cooktop or oven
as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
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
cloths.
Use proper pan size -- This appli-
ance is equipped with one or more surface elements of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface 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.
Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat settings -- Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite.
To prevent damage to range --
Never operate a surface unit without a
pan in place and never allow a pan to
boil dry.
Make sure drip bowls are in
place -- Absence of these bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
Protective liners -- Do not use alumi-
num foil liners to line surface unit drip
bowls or oven bottom, except as suggested in the Owner’s Guide. Improper
installation of these liners may result in
a risk of electric shock, or fire.
Glazed cooking utensils -- O n l y c e r tain 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.
(continued next page)

Page 4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
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 elements.
Do not soak removable heating elements -- Heating elements should
never be immersed in water. Immersing
element in water would damage insulating material inside element.
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 -- The v ent is located at the
right rear element for coil cooktops or
at the base of the backguard for the
smoothtop cooktop. Blockage of vent
prevents proper oven air circulation
and will affect oven performance. Avoid
touching oven vent area while oven is
on and for several minutes after oven
has been turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot
enough to cause burns.
Placement of oven racks -- A l w a y s
place oven racks in desired location
while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while hot, use care to avoid
contact of potholder with oven element.
Do not cover oven racks, the oven
bottom or any other par t of the oven
with aluminum foil -- This will cause
overheating of the oven. Use aluminum
foil only as directed in this manual.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently -Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. When flaming
foods under the hood, turn the fan off.
The fan, if operating, may spread the
flame.
Deep fat fryers -- Use extreme caution
when moving the grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.
Do not touch surface elements or
oven elements, areas near elements
or interior surfaces of oven -- E l e -
ments may be hot even though they
are dark in color. Areas near sur face
elements and interior surfaces of oven
may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not
touch or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces
of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Among these areas are
the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent opening and surfaces
near this opening, oven door, and oven
window. Also, do not allow aluminum
foil, meat probes or any other metal object, other than a utensil on a surface
element, to contact heating elements.
Smoothtop cooktop -- 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
a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Oven door -- Do not place excessive
weight on an open oven door or stand
on an open oven door as, in some
cases, it could cause the range to tip
over, breakage of the door, or serious
injury.
Anti-tip bracket warning:
To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance from unusual usage or by excessive loading of the oven door, the
appliance must be secured by a pr operly installed anti--tip device. To check if
device is installed properly: Use a
flashlight and look underneath range to
see that one of the rear leveling legs is
engaged in the bracket slot. When removing appliance for cleaning, be sure
anti--tip device is engaged when range
is replaced. The anti--tip device secures
the rear leveling leg to the floor, when
properly engaged.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Circuit breaker or fuse -- Locate and
mark breaker or fuse. Never replace a
blown fuse or reset a breaker until you
know what has caused the problem.
Always replace a blown fuse with one
of the correct amperage, do not use a
substitute.
Control knobs -- Turn off control at the
completion of a cooking operation.
Self- cleaning 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. Do not use oven cleaners or
oven liner protective coating of any kind
in or around any part of the self--clean
oven. Clean only parts listed in this
manual. Before self--cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, oven racks, and
other utensils. Slide--in and drop--in

COIL COOKTOP
Cooktop
Freestanding rangeswitha coil-typecooktop willfeature
an “upswept” cooktop.
(NOTE: Thecooktop on a slide-in or drop-in range does
NOT lift up. The cooktop on a Canadian freestanding
range does NOT lift up.)
To raise the “upswept” cooktop: When cool, grasp
the front edge of the cooktop and gently lift up until the
two support rods at the front of the cooktop snap into
place.
To lower the top: Holdthefrontedge ofthe cooktopand
carefully push back on each support rod to release the
notched support. Then gently lower the top into place.
The support rods will slide into the range frame.
Surface Elements
S Surface elements are self-cleaning.
Indicator Lights
Rangesareequipped withtwoindicatorlights whichglow
when a surface element is on. The indicator light will remain on until the element is turned off. After a cooking
operation, besure the elementand indicator light areoff.
Drip Bowls
S Be sure drip bowls, located under each element, are
in place.
S Absence of these bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or component parts underneath the cooktop to
damage.
S To prevent risk of electricshock orfire, do not linedrip
bowls with aluminum foil.
Your range will be equipped with either chrome plated
steel drip bowls or porcelain coated steel drip bowls.
Chrome drip bowls will turn blue or gold over time or if
overheated. This type of discoloration is permanent and
will not affect cooking performance.
To protect the chrome or porcelain finish, avoid using
high settings for long periods of time. Reduce to a lower
setting once food begins cooking. Do not useoversized
cookware. Pan should not extend more than 2 inches
from the element.
S Do not immerse elements in water.
S When an element is turned on, it will cycle on and off
to maintain the heat setting.
S To preventdamageto therange, NEVERoperatesur-
face element without apan in placeand NEVERallow
a pan to boil dry.
To remove: When
cool, raise element
and carefully pull
out and away from
the receptacle.
To replace: Insert the terminals on the element into the
receptacle. Gentlylift uponouteredgeof element(opposite terminal-side of element) while inserting terminals
into receptacle. Gently press down on outer edge of element until element sits level on drip bowl.
Be sure drip bowland chrometrim ring, if equipped, are
properly installed. Notch on trim ring should be centered
over the screw securing the receptacle to the maintop. If
trim ring is notinstalled properly and rests on this screw,
the trim ring and drip bowl will “rock”.
Clean bowls after each use with soap and water. Removestubborn stainswithbaking sodapaste andplastic
scouring pad.Porcelain drip bowlscan becleaned witha
mild cleanser. To prevent scratching the porcelain or
chrome finish, do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Rinse, dry and replace.
NOTE: Theovenvent islocated attheright rearelement.
Be sure the drip bowl for this element has a hole in the
centertoallowproperoven venting. Neverblock thevent
opening by placing a solid drip bowl in this location or by
coveringthe holeinthe centerof thedripbowlwithaluminum foil. Blocking the vent will restrict proper ovenventing which will affect baking results.

SMOOTHTOP COOKTOP
Cooking Areas
On Canadian models only: The surface units will not operate during a clean cycle. This is normal.
The four cooking areas on
your range are identified by
permanent patterns in the
cooktop. There are two
large (8-inch) andtwo small
(6-inch) areas. The patterns on your cooktop may
not look like the cooktop in
this illustration but your
cooktop will operate as described in this manual.
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it thoroughly as directed on the cleaning chart on page 7. This
will protect the smoothtop and will guarantee a clean
cooktop when the elements are turned on.
During the first few hours of use, youmaynotice thatthe
cooktop emits a slight burning odor and a light smoke.
Both of these conditions are normal and are caused by
the insulation material of the heating elements.
Whena cookingarea isturnedon, thecoil elementunder
the cooktop will heat up and glow red. To maintain the
heat setting the elementwill cycle onand off. It is normal
to see a red glow through the smoothtop when the element cycles on.
Indicator Lights
Rangesareequipped withtwoindicatorlights whichglow
when a surface element is on. The indicator light will remain on until the element is turned off. After a cooking
operation, besure the elementand indicator light areoff.
Hot Surface Light
Your range is equipped with a HOT SURFACE light located at the center-back ofthe smoothtop. This red light
will turn onto indicate that the smoothtop is hot and will
remain on until the top has cooled.
Retained Heat
The smoothtop cooking area retains heat for a period of
time after the element has beenturned off. Turn the element off afew minutesbefore foodis completely cooked
andusetheretainedheat tocompletethecookingoperation. After 30 minutes, the cooktop may be too cool to
keep foods warm. However, the TOP MAY STILL BE
TOO WARM TO TOUCH. When the HOT SURFACE
light turns off, the top will be cool enough to touch.
Cooking Tips
When cooking delicate foods which easily scorch or
overcook, start with a lower heat setting then gradually
increase the setting until you find the optimum setting.
Boiloversare morelikely tooccurif youstartout onHIGH
then reduce to the lower setting. If you do begin cooking
onHIGH, reduceto alowersettingbefore liquidscome to
a full boil.
If food is cooking too fast or ifa boilover occurs, remove
lid orremovecookware fromcooking areaand reduce to
alowersetting.Allowenoughtime forthecooking areato
adjust to the new setting.
Cookware
Aluminum foil will damage the smoothtop if it melts
onto the glass. Donot use aluminum foil or foil-type disposable containers such as popcorn poppers under any
circumstances.They mayleavemetalmarks ormay permanently meltontothe smoothtop. Do not usecooktopif
aluminum foil melts onto the smoothtop. Call an authorized servicer. Do not attempt to repaircooktop yourself.
Aluminum cookware will cause metal marks on the
glass if you slide them across the smoothop. Remove
any metal marks immediately using Cooktop Cleaning
Creme.
Glass ceramic, earthenware, porcelain over metal,
heat-proof glass or glazed cookware may scratchthe
smoothtop cooktop if you slide them across the top.
To Protect Smoothtop
S Do not use the top as a work surface or as a cutting
board. Do not cook food directly on the cooktop.
S Do not use atrivet or metal stand (such as a wok ring)
betweentheutensiland thecooktop. These items can
mark oretch the surfaceand affect cookingefficiency.
S Do not place plastics on a warm or hot cooking area.
They will melt and adhere to the smoothtop. The
smoothtop may chip or pit in attempting to remove
melted plastic from the top.
S To preventscratchingor damagetothe smoothtop,do
not leave sugar, salt, sand, soil, shortening or other
fats on the cooking area. Be sure area is free from
these before turning on cooking area.
S Do not slide metal or glass items across the smooth-
top. They may scratch top or leave metal marks.
S Donot allowa pantoboil dry. Thiscould causeperma-
nent damage to the smoothtop.

Care Information
To help keep cooktop clean, be sure
cookingarea andcookwarebottomare
clean and dry before each use.
To prevent possible damage to the
cooktop, always rinse the bottom of
cookware to completely remove any
cleaning agent residue. This is especiallyimportant whenusinga copperor
aluminum cleaner. In the presence of
heat, the cleaning residue may stain,
discolor or etch the smoothtop.
Carefully blot up spillovers around the
outside of the cooking areaas they occur with dry paper towels. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN HANDS WHEN
WIPING UP SPILLS. DONOT USE A
DAMP CLOTH WHICH MAY CAUSE
STEAM BURNS.
Whensurfaceiscool,cleanas directed
in the chart. DO NOT USE the following cleaning agents.
· Abrasives (metal scouring pads,
cleansing powders, scouring cleanersor pads) willscratch thesmoothtop.
· Chemicals (oven cleaners, chlorine
bleaches, rust removers or ammonia) may damage the finish of the
smoothtop.
· Glass cleaners containingammonia
may harm the smoothtop.
· Soiled cloth or sponge will leave an
invisible film on the cooktop which
may scratch or cause discoloration
the next time the cooktop is used.
IMPORTANT: Watch sugary solutions
carefully to avoid boilovers.
If a sugar solution (such as jam, jelly,
candy) is allowed to boilover, it may pit
the smoothtop. Turn element to LOW
and clean sugary boilovers immedi-
ately.

an infinite choice of settings from LOW to HIGH. The
knob canbe set on or between any ofthe numbered settings.
To operate push in and turn the knob in eitherdirection
to the desired setting.
To remove knobsforcleaning, gentlypullforward. Wash
knobs in mild detergent and water. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents as they will scratch the finish and remove markings. Rinse, dry and replace. Turn on each
element to be sure knobs have been replaced correctly.
Cooking Tips
To prevent damage to the range, backguard or utensil,
neveroperatesurface unitwithout apan inplace, never
allowa panto boil dry andnever operate anelementon
HIGH for extended periods of time.
Food will not cook any faster at a higher setting than
neededto maintain agentle boil.Water boilsat thesame
temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously. If a
high setting is used, excessive spattering will occur and
food may stick or burn onto the bottom of the pan.
Cookware
Cooking performance is greatly affected by the type of
cookware used. Proper cookware will reduce cooking
times, use less energy and produce more even cooking
results. For best results use a heavy gauge metal pan
with a smooth flat bottom and a tight fitting lid.
Cookware with uneven, warped, or grooved bottoms do
not make good contact with the heating surface, will reduce heat conductivity and result in slower, less even
heating.
Different types of cookware materials require different
heat settings for the same cooking operation. The chart
below is based on heavy gauge aluminum cookware.
Lower the heat setting if using a thinner gauge metal or
other materials.
Oversized cookware or cookware that rests across two
elements are not recommended as they may trap
enough heat to cause damage to the cooktop or elements. This is especially important when canning.
Do not use woks equipped with round metal rings. The
ring, whichis designedto support the wokabove the element, will trap heat and may damage the element and
the cooktop.
If ahigher heatsettingis used tobring liquidtoaboil orto
begincooking, always reduce toa lowersettingonceliq-
uid comes to a boil or food begins cooking. Never leave
food unattended during a cooking operation.
Fit the size of the cookware to the size of the element.
This conserves energy.

To bring liquid to a boil, blanch, preheat skillet, or reach pressure in a pressure cooker.
Always reduce to a lower heat setting when liquids just begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
To brown or sear meat; heat oil for deepfat frying; scald; to saute or fry. Maintain fast boilfor
large amounts of liquids.
To maintain moderate to slow boil for large amounts of liquids.
To continue cooking uncovered foods and for most frying operations.
To continue cooking covered foods and to maintain pressure in most pressure cookers. Stew,
braise or steam operations. To maintain boil for small amounts of liquid, poach, steam or
simmer.
Canning
Use the HIGH setting just until water comes to a boilor
pressure is reached in the pressure canner. Then, re-
duce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or
pressure. Prolonged use of the HIGH setting, or the use
of incorrect canning utensils produces excessive heat.
Excessive heat can cause permanent damage to the
porcelain cooktop, coil element and the drip bowl.
LOW
NOTE: Refer to cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for suggested heat settings. Some manufacturers donot
recommend the use of HIGH, or the use of HIGH for extended cooking operations.
To keep foods warm before serving. Melt chocolate.

OVEN USE
Oven Characteristics
Everyoven hasits owncharacteristics.You mayfindthat
the cooking times and temperatures you were accustomed to with your previous range may need to be altered slightly with your new range. It is normal to notice
some differences between this rangeand your previous
range.
Fan
Slide-in and drop-in ranges are equipped with a fan
whichautomaticallyturns onwhenevertheovenis setfor
a cooking or a cleaning operation. Thefan will automatically turn off when the unit has cooled.
Oven Racks
The two oven racks are designed with a lock-stop position to keep racks from coming completely out of the
oven. Do not attempt to change rack positions when the
oven is hot.
To remove: Besurerack iscool.Pull rackout tothelockstop position. Tilt the front end up and continue pulling
rack out of the oven.
To replace: Place rackon racksupports, tiltup andpush
toward rearof oven. Pull the rackout to the lock-stop position to besure rack iscorrectly replaced. Then return it
to its normal position.
It is important that air can circulate freely within the oven
and around the food. To help ensure this, place food in
the center of the oven rack. Allow two inches between
the edge of the utensil(s) and the oven walls. If cooking
on two racks, stagger the food to ensure proper airflow.
RACK POSITIONS:

Rack 5 (top ofoven) usedfor broilingthin non-fatty foods
such as fish.
Rack 4 used for two-rack baking or most broiling.
Rack 3 used for most one-rack baking of cookies and
biscuits on a cookie sheet.
Rack 2 used for baking cakes, bundt cakes or breads,
two-rack baking, roasting meats, or cooking larger
foods.
Rack 1 usedforroastingturkey, baking angelfoodcake,
pie shells, frozen pies, souffles or bread.
Use of Aluminum Foil
Do not cover entire rack with aluminum foil or place foil
directly under cookware. To catch spillovers, place a
piece of foil a little larger than thepan onthe rack below
the pan. Donot place aluminum foil across thebottom of
the oven.
For optimumbaking resultsof cakes, cookiesor biscuits,
use onerack. Position rack so food isin the center ofthe
oven. Use either rack position 3 or 2.
If cooking on two racks, use rack positions 4 and 2 for
cakes and rack positions 4 and 1 when using cookie
sheets. Never place two cookie sheets on one rack.
If roasting alarge turkey, place turkeyon rack 1 andside
dishes on rack 5.
Preheating
Preheating is necessary for conventional baking. Allow
about 10 to 15 minutes for the oven to preheat. It is not
necessary to preheat the oven for roasting.
Selecting a temperature higher than desired will NOT
preheat the oven anyfaster. Preheating at a higher temperature may affect baking results.
A single beep will indicate that the oven is preheated.
Door Lock Lever
The oven door is locked for self-clean operations only.
Do not move the door lock lever to the right or locked
position during acooking operation. If the door islocked,
the operation will automatically be cancelled and “door”
will appearin the display. If the ovenis hot enoughtoengage theinternal lock, the oven door willnot open.Allow
the oven to cool for up to an hour, then unlock and open
the door.

Baking Tips
Useareliablerecipeand accurately measure fresh in-
gredients. Carefully follow directionsfor oventemper-
ature and cooking time. Preheat oven if recommended.
Use the correct rack position. Baking results may be
affected if the wrong rack is used.
* Top browning may be darker if food is located
toward the top of the oven.
* Bottom browning may be darker if food is located
toward the bottom of the oven.
* When using two racks for baking, allow enough
space between the racks for proper air circulation.
Browning and cooking results will be affected if air
flow is blocked.
Cookware material plays animportantpart inbaking results. Always use the type and size of pan called for in
the recipe. Cooking times or cooking results may be affected if the wrong size is used.
* Shiny metal pan reflects heat away from the food,
produces lighter browning and a softer crust. Use
shiny pans for baking cakes or cookies. For optimum baking results, bake cookies and biscuits on
a flat cookie sheet. If the pan has sides, such as a
jelly roll pan, browning may not be even.
and acrisper crust. Use this typeof pan for pies,pie
crusts or bread.
* Ifusingoven-proof glassware,ordark pans such
as Baker’s Secret reduce theoven temperature by
25°F except when baking pies or bread. Use the
same baking time as called for in the recipe.
Allow hot air to flow freely through the oven for optimum baking results. Improper placement of pans in the
oven will block air flow and may resultin unevenbrowning. For optimum browning and even cooking results:
* Do not crowd a rack with pans. Never place more
than one cookie sheet, one 13x9x2-inch cake pan
or two 9-inch round cake pans on one rack.
* Stagger pans when baking ontwo rackssoone pan
is not directly over another pan.
* Allow two inches between the pan and the oven
walls.
Check the cooking progress at the minimum time
recommended in the recipe. If necessary, continue
checking at intervals until the food is done. If the oven
door isopened too frequently, heat willescape theoven;
this can affect baking results and wastes energy.
* Dark metal pan or a pan with an anodized (dull)
bottom absorbs heat, produces darker browning
Roasting Tips
Roasting is the method for cooking large, tender cuts of
meat uncovered, without adding moisture. Most meats
are roasted at 325°F. It is not necessary to preheat the
oven. Place the roasting pan on either of the two lowest
rack positions.
Use tender cuts of meatweighing three pounds ormore.
Somegood choices are: Beef rib, ribeye, top round,high
quality tip and rump roast, pork loin roast, leg of lamb,
veal shoulder roast and cured or smoked hams.
Season meat, if desired, either before or after roasting.
Rubinto the surface ofthe roast ifadded before cooking.
Placethe meatfat-side-upona rackin ashallowroasting
pan. Placing the meat on a rack holds it out of the drippings,thus allowingbetter heatcirculationfor evencook-
If you add additional ingredients or alter the recipe,
expect cooking times to increase or decrease slightly.
ing. As the fat on top of the roast melts, the meat is
bastednaturally, eliminatingthe needfor additionalbasting.
Thecooking timeisdeterminedby theweight of themeat
and the desired doneness. For more accurate results,
use ameat thermometer. Insert it sothe tipis in the center of the thickest part of the meat. It should not touchfat
or bone.
Remove the roast fromthe oven when the thermometer
registers approximately 5°F below the doneness
wanted. As the meat stands, the temperature will rise.
NOTE: For more information on cooking meat
and poultry, contact the USDA Meat & Poultry
Hotline at 1-800-535-4555.

Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender meats by direct
heat. Thecooking time isdeterminedby the distancebetweenthe meatandthe broilelement, thedesired degree
of doneness and the thickness of the meat.
Broiling Tips:
Broilingrequires theuseof thebroiler panand insert.The
broiler insert must be in place to allow fat and liquid to
drain to the pan below to prevent spatters, smoke and
flare-ups. Improper use may cause grease fires.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil as this
prevents fat from draining into pan below. For easier
clean up, thebroiler pancan be lined with foil and spray
the insert with a non-stick vegetable spray.
Remove excess fat and slash remaining fat to help keep
meat from curling. This also reduces smoking and spattering.
Placeovenrack inthecorrect rackpositionwhen oven is
cool. For darker browning, place meat closer to the broil
element. Place meat further down if you wish meat to be
well done or if excessive smoking and flaring occurs.
SeeCare andCleaning Chart onpage 18for instructions
on cleaning the broiler pan and insert.
To set oven to broil:
1. Press BROIL pad.
000° and BROIL indicator words will appear in the
display.
2. Turn SET knob clockwise to select HI for normal
broilingor counter clockwise toselect Lofor lowtemperature broiling.
3. Foroptimumresults, removebroilerpan andpreheat
broil element 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Broilwiththeoven dooropenedtothe broilstopposition (opened about6-inches). Turn meat once about
half way through cooking. Check for doneness by
cutting a slit in the meat near the center for desired
color.
5. Atthe endof cooking, pressSTOP/CLEAR tocancel
the broil operation. The current time of day will reappear in the display.
Use HI BROIL for most broil operations. Select Lo
BROIL when broiling longercooking foods suchas poultry. Thelower temperature allowsfood tocook tothewell
done stage without excessive browning. Cooking time
may increase if Lo BROIL is selected.
Broil times may needto beincreased if rangeis installed
on a 208-volt circuit.

SELF-CLEAN OVEN
The self-clean oven uses temperatures above normal
cookingtemperatures toautomatically cleanthe oveninterior.
Basic Instructions
1. Close oven door.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot
during a clean cycle. Therefore, during a clean cycle,
avoid touching thecooktop or oven vent area located at
thebase ofthe backguardon smoothtopcooktopsandat
the right rear element for coil cooktops. Avoid contact
with the oven door and window as these areas also become warm during a self-clean cycle.
It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait
until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.
NOTE: On Canadian models only, the smoothtop surface units willNOT operate during a clean cycle. This is
normal.
Before Self-Cleaning
Remove all pans and the oven
racks from the oven. The racks
will discolor and may not slide
easily after a clean cycle.
Turnoff oven lightbeforeclean cycle.
The life of the bulb may be shortened
if left on during the clean cycle.
Clean oven frame, door frame and
aroundthe ovenventwith anon-abrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami
or soap and water. These areas are
not exposed to cleaning temperatures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the
clean cycle.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers
from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking and flare-ups during
the clean cycle.
Wipe up acid spillovers such as lemon juice, tomato sauce or milk-based
sauces and sugary spillovers. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid
proof. The porcelain finish may discolorif acid spillsare not wiped upimmediately.
Do not use oven cleanersor ovenliner protective coatings of any kind on
the self-clean oven finish or around
any part of the oven.
To prevent damage, do not clean or
rub the gasket aroundthe oven door.
Thegasket isdesigned to sealin heat
during the clean cycle.
During Self-Cleaning
When the CLEAN padis pressed and
the door is locked, the oven will automatically begin to heat to cleaning
temperatures.
As the oven reaches cleaning temperatures, the LOCK indicator will
turn on to show that an internal lock
mechanism has engaged. At this
point,theovendoor cannot belocked
and opened.
To prevent damage to the door and
lock lever, do not forcethe door open
when the LOCK indicator is displayed.
Thefirstfewtimestheovenis
cleaned, some smoke and odor may
be detected. This is normal and will
reduce or disappear with use. If the
oven is heavily soiled, orif the broiler
pan is left in the oven, smoke and
odor may occur.
Asthe ovenheats andcools, youmay
hearsounds ofmetal parts expanding
and contracting. This is normal and
will not damage your appliance.
2. Move the door lock lever to the right or locked
position.
3. Press CLEAN pad.
4. Turn SET knob to select cleaning time.
S Light soil - 2 hours
S Average soil - 3 hours
S Heavy soil - 4 hours
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the
clean cycle, the internal lock will disengage and the LOCK indicator will
turn off. At this point, thedoor canbe
unlocked and opened. Move the door
lock lever to the left or unlocked position and open the door.
Some soil may leave a light gray,
powdery ash which can be removed
witha damp cloth.If soilremains,it indicates that the clean cycle was not
longenough. The soilwill beremoved
during the next clean cycle.
Iftheovenracksdonotslidesmoothly
after a clean cycle, wipe racks and
embossed rack supports with a small
amount of vegetable oil to restore
ease of movement.
On smoothtop cooktops: Clean
around the vent opening at the base
of the backguard if there is a deposit
from the fumes vented during the
clean cycle. Use soap and water and
a cloth or non-abrasive pad.
Fine, hair-like lines may appearin the
oven interior or oven door. This is a
normal condition resulting from heatingand cooling ofthe porcelain finish.
These lines do not affect the performance of the oven.
