Important Safety Notice and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to

Save These Instructions for Future Reference

these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/ or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS:

Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Surface Cooking

Surface Controls

Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.

Setting the Controls

1. Place pan on surface element.

2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired heat setting.

• The control panel is marked to identify which

element the knob controls. For example, the graphic at right indicates left front element.

3. There is an element indicator light on the control panel. When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface elements are turned off.

4. After cooking, turn knob to Off. Remove pan.

Dual Elements

The cooking surface has two dual elements located in the right front and left front of the smoothtop. This allows you to change the size of these elements.

Press the switch to the left to use the large element or to the right to use the small element.

Suggested Heat Settings

The size, type of cookware and cooking operation will affect the heat setting. For information on cookware and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 7 and “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.

Low (2): Use to keep foods warm and melt chocolate and butter.

Med. Low (3-4): Use to continue cooking covered foods or steam foods.

Medium (5-7): Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts of liquids and for most frying operations.

High (10): Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

Med. High (8-9): Use to brown meat, heat oil for deep fat frying or sauteing. Maintain fast boil for large amounts of liquids.

BEFORE COOKING

• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a pan in place.

• NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware.

DURING COOKING

• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a high heat setting for extended cooking.

• NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the appliance.

• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.

CAUTION

AFTER COOKING

• Make sure surface unit is turned off.

• Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.

OTHER TIPS

• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

• NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.

• NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to contact heating elements.

• NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall and damage it.

Surface Cooking

Smoothtop Surface

Smoothtop Surface Notes:

• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few

times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

• Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface.

• Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

Warming Center

Use the Warming Center to keep hot cooked foods warm, such as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates.

Setting the Control:

1. Push in and turn the knob. Warming temperatures are approximate and are indicated on the control from Min. to Max. The control can be set to any position between Min. and Max.

2. When done, turn the control to Off and remove food. The Hot Surface indicator light will go off when the Warming Center surface has cooled.

Notes:

• Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30

minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.

• Do not heat cold food on the Warming Center.

• Heat settings will vary depending on type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper food temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures between 140°- 170° F.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to

maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 7 and “Cooking Made Simple” booklet included with your range.

Surface Cooking

Tips to Protect the Smoothtop Surface

Cleaning (see page 21 for more information)

• Before first use, clean the cooktop.

• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel.

• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

• Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.

• Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

To Prevent Marks & Scratches

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

• Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See Cleaning, page 21.)

• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.

• To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using.

• Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

• Never cook food directly on the surface.

• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.

• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized canners and griddles.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized Maytag Servicer.

Cookware Recommendations

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly.

Flat Pan Tests

See if your pans are flat.

The Ruler Test:

1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.

2. Hold it up to the light.

3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.

The Bubble Test:

1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn

control to High.

2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats. Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.

To Prevent Stains

• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the

cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.

To Prevent Other Damage

• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning, page 21.)

• Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and pan.

Select Avoid

Flat, smooth-bottom Pans with grooved or warped bottoms. pans. Pans with uneven bottoms do not cook

efficiently and sometimes may not boil liquid.

Heavy-gauge pans. Very thin-gauge metal or glass pans.

Pans that are the Pans smaller or larger than the same size as the element by 1 inch. element.

Secure handles. Cookware with loose or broken handles.

Heavy handles that tilt the pan.

Tight-fitting lids. Loose-fitting lids.

Flat bottom woks. Woks with a ring-stand bottom.

Page 9

Surface Cooking

Canning and Oversize Cookware

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical

on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element.

When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.

When canning, use the High heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.

Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.

See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.

Care & Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION

• It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle.

• To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open the door when LOCK is displayed.

• Avoid touching cooktop, door, window or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the oven. They will damage the finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the oven interior.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy buildup of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

To set Self-Clean:

Note: Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program

a clean cycle.

1. Close the oven door.

2. Press the Clean pad.

• “CLEAN” flashes in the display.

If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and DOOR will display. If the door is not closed within 45 seconds, the self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display will return to the time of day.

3. Press the More+ or Less- pad.

• CL-M (Clean – Medium Soil) is displayed.

4. Press the More+ or Less- pad to scroll through the self-cleaning settings.

CL-H (Clean – Heavy Soil, 4 hours)

CL-M (Clean – Medium Soil, 3 hours)

CL-L (Clean – Light Soil, 2 hours)

Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs the self-cleaning time.

5. After four seconds, the oven will start cleaning.

Before Self-Cleaning

1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn out during the clean cycle.

2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.

3. Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside of gasket, and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self-cleaning process does not clean these areas. They should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window).

4. To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom. This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle. To make cleaning easier, the heating element can be lifted slightly (1 inch).

6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self-clean cycle.

* Brand names for cleaning products are registered trademarks of the respective manufacturers.

• The cleaning time will start counting down in the display.

• “LOCK” will appear in the display.

• “CLEAN” will appear in the display.

To Delay a Self-Clean Cycle:

1. Press the Clean and Timer pads. (Press the Clean pad first.)

To cancel the Self-Clean cycle:

Press the CANCEL pad.

• All words disappear from the display.

• All functions are canceled.

• The time of day appears in the display.

During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, the door cannot be opened. To prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open when LOCK is displayed.

Smoke and Smells

You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will turn off. The door can then be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports

with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to move.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not

affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect perfor-

mance.

Notes:

• If the oven door is left open, “door” will flash in the display and a signal will beep until the door is closed and the Clean pad is pressed again.

• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.
