add-on oven convection systems. The use
of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the
components of this appliance.
Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when using high heat. An unattended
boilover could cause smoking and a greasy
spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different size
surface elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Fitting
pan size to element will improve cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of
the element will be exposed to direct contact
and could ignite clothing or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven service
without breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer’s
instructions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop,
not out into the room or over another surface
element. This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan
is accidently bumped or reached by small
children.
Coil Elements (select models)
To prevent damage to removable heating elements, do not immerse, soak or clean in a
dishwasher or self-clean oven. A damaged
element could short resulting in a fire or shock
hazard.
Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence
of these bowls during cooking could damage
wiring.
1
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.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop
(select models)
NEVER 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. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper towel is
used on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burn.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease
pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease
to cool before attempting to move pan.
Oven(s)
Use care when opening door(s). Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing
food.
For proper oven operation and performance,
do not block or obstruct oven vent duct. When
oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area
near the vent may become hot enough to cause
burns.
Always place oven racks in desired locations
while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot
element in oven.
Self-Cleaning Oven
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean
door gasket. The gasket is essential for a good
seal. Do not 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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler
pan, oven racks and other utensils to prevent
excessive smoking, discoloration of the oven
racks or possible damage to utensils.
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 oven.
Heating elements may be hot even though they
are dark in color. Areas near surface elements
and interior surfaces of an 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.
Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent, and surfaces near the vent opening, oven door(s), areas around the door(s) and oven window(s).
Child Safety
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.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to
children in cabinets above an appliance or on
backguard of a range. Children climbing on appliance, door or drawer to reach items could
damage the appliance or be burned or seriously
injured.

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 during the self-clean cycle by opening
a window and/or door in the room where the appliance is located.
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 selfcleaning 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.

❚ Make sure the oven vent has not been
blocked. See pg. 11 for location.
❚ Check to make sure range is level.
❚ Temperatures often vary between a new
oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven
temperature often “drifts” and may become
hotter or cooler. See pg. 10 for instructions
on adjusting the oven temperature.
It is not recommended to adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are in
question.
❚ Check that oven temperature is decreased
by 25° F when convect baking.
❚ See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for
more information on bakeware and baking.
FOOD IS NOT BROILING PROPERLY
OR SMOKES EXCESSIVELY.
❚ Check oven rack positions. Food may be too
close to element.
❚ Broil element was not preheated.
❚ Aluminum foil was incorrectly used. Never
line the broiler insert with foil.
❚ Oven door was closed during broiling. Leave
the door open to the first stop position (about
4 inches).
❚ Trim excess fat from meat before broiling.
❚ A soiled broiler pan was used.
OVEN WILL NOT SELF-CLEAN.
❚ Check to make sure the cycle is not set for
a delayed start. See pg. 12.
❚ Check if door is closed.
OVEN DID NOT CLEAN PROPERLY.
❚ Longer cleaning time may be needed.
❚ Excessive spillovers, especially sugary and/
or acidic foods, were not removed prior to
the self-clean cycle.
OVEN DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK
AFTER SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
❚ Oven interior is still hot. Allow about one
hour for the oven to cool after the completion of a self-clean cycle. The door can be
NOTE:
opened when the LOC indicator word is not
displayed.
❚ Both ovens will lock when either oven is
cleaned.
MOISTURE COLLECTS ON OVEN
WINDOW OR STEAM COMES FROM
OVEN VENT.
❚ This is normal when cooking foods high in
moisture.
❚ Excessive moisture was used when clean-
ing the window.
THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OR
LIGHT SMOKE WHEN OVEN IS
TURNED ON.
❚ This is normal for a new range and will
disappear after a few uses. Initiating a clean
cycle will “burn off” the odors more quickly.
❚ Turning on a ventilation fan will help remove
the smoke and/or odor.
❚ Excessive food soils on the oven bottom.
Use a self-clean cycle.
STEAM COMES FROM VENT AREA.
❚ When high moisture foods are cooked in the
upper oven, steam may be visible coming
from the vent area. This is normal.
