Important Safety Instructions
Self-Cleaning Ovens
CAUTION
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven
racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door
gaskets. The gaskets are essential for a good seal. Do not
rub, damage, or move the gaskets.
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 ovens.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy spills, before
the clean cycle to prevent smoking, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot during a clean
cycle. Therefore, avoid touching the cooktop, door, window or
oven vent during a clean cycle.
Heating Elements
NEVER touch surface or oven heating elements, areas near
elements, or interior surfaces of ovens.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface elements and interior surfaces of
the ovens 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 ovens until they have had sufficient time
to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop, areas facing
the cooktop, oven vent, and surfaces near the vent opening,
oven doors, areas around the doors and oven windows.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised in area where
appliance is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in
or on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out
of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with controls or other parts of the unit.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or
other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or
filter and to avoid grease fires.
Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such as Cherries
Jubilee) under the hood.
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 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.
Child Safety
CAUTION
NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above
an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance or on the
appliance doors to reach items could be seriously injured.
Save These Instructions for Future Reference
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 “ON” 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.
Flex Choice Warm
(right rear element only):
Uses a lower heat to
keep foods warm for
serving.
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:
• On Canadian models, the smoothtop does NOT operate
during a clean cycle.
• 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 Indicator 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.
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 High.
For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware
Recommendations on page 7.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the
control panel. The light will be illuminated
when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on,
even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled.
Warming Center (style may vary by model)
Use the Warming Center to keep hot cooked foods warm, such
as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates.
Setting the Control:
Touch the Surface Warming Center pad and
then the Autoset pad. Press Autoset pad again
to turn off.
Warming Center 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.
• Warming temperatures of the food will vary depending on
type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper food
temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures
between 140°-170° F.
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for
oven and cooktop use.
• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the
Warming Center as cookware and plates will be hot.
• All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to
maintain food quality.
• When warming pastries and breads the cover should have
an opening to allow moisture to escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt
on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.

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.
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.
• 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.

Surface Cooking
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.
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.
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.

Care & Cleaning
Self-Clean Ovens
is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up before a
self-clean cycle.
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the ovens to become hot during a
self-clean cycle.
• To prevent damage to oven doors, do not attempt to open
the doors when LOCK is displayed.
• Avoid touching doors, windows or oven vent area during
a clean cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish
or around any part of the ovens. They will damage the
finish or parts.
• Do not leave baking/pizza stone in the oven during
self-clean.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior.
The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers
to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not allow a
heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Self-Cleaning
1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning as 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.
6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet
potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel
* Brand names for cleaning products are registered trademarks of the respective manufacturers.
Notes:

During the Self-Clean Cycle
When LOCK shows in the display, both oven doors are locked.
To prevent damage to the doors, do not force the doors 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.
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK
will turn off. The doors 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.
Self-Clean Notes:
• If an oven door is left open, “door” will appear in the
display and a signal will beep until the door is closed
and the Clean pad is pressed again.
• If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the
Clean pad and the Autoset pad, the program will
automatically return to the previous display.
• The oven doors will be damaged if the oven doors are
forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.

doors. This could cause the range to tip over, break the
doors, or injure the user.
• Do not attempt to open or close doors or operate oven
until doors are properly replaced.
• Never place fingers between hinge and front oven frame.
Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the
hinge will slam shut against oven frame and could injure
your fingers.
Both the upper and lower oven doors are removable.
To remove:
1. When cool, open the oven door to the broil stop position
(opened about four inches).
2. Grasp door at each side. Do not use the door handle to lift
door.
