Important Safety Instructions

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.

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.

Coil Elements

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.

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.

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.

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.

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Cleaning Safety

Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning. Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION

Do not leave racks, broiling pan, food or cooking utensils, etc. in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

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 liners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils, and wipe off excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flare ups.

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.

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.

Oven Cooking

Oven Vent

When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.

The oven vent is located below the backguard vent shield on your range.

OVEN VENT

LOCATION

Do not place plastics near the vent opening as heat from the vent could distort or melt the plastic.

Oven Light

Press the Oven Light switch on the control panel to turn the oven light on and off. The oven light is only activated by this switch.

Oven Bottom

Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven bottom.

Oven Racks

CAUTION

•Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven is hot.

•Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.

The oven has two racks. All racks are designed with a lockstop edge.

To remove:

1. Pull rack straight out until it stops at the lock-stop position.

2. Lift up on the front of the rack and pull out.

To replace:

1.Place rack on the rack support in the oven.

2.Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears the lock-stop position.

3.Lower front and slide back into the oven.

Never cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected and damage may occur to the oven bottom.

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.

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.

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.

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.

3. Press the More+ or Lesspad.

• CL-M (Medium Soil, 3 hours) is displayed.

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.

4.Press the More+ or Lesspad to scroll through the selfcleaning settings.

CL-H (Heavy Soil, 4 hours) CL-M (Medium soil, 3 hours) CL-L (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.

•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 Delay pad.

•DELAY flashes.

•00:00 will appear in the display.

2.Press the More+ or Lesspad to set the

amount of time you want to delay the cycle. Delay time can be set from ten minutes (00:10) to 11 hours, 59 minutes (11:59).

3. While delay is flashing, press the Clean pad.

• CLEAN will flash.

4. Press the More+ or Lesspad.

• CL-M (Medium Soil, 3 hours) is displayed.

Care & Cleaning

5.Press the More+ or Lesspad to scroll through the selfcleaning settings.

CL-H (Heavy Soil, 4 hours) CL-M (Medium soil, 3 hours) CL-L (Light Soil, 2 hours)

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

6.After four seconds, CLEAN, DELAY and LOCK will appear in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The delay time is displayed.

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.

If the oven has already been set for a clean cycle and you wish to set a delay:

1.Press the Delay pad.

•DELAY flashes.

•00:00 will appear in the display.

2.Press the More+ or Lesspad to set the amount of time you want to delay the cycle.

After four seconds, CLEAN, DELAY and LOCK will appear in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The delay time is displayed.

When the Self-Clean cycle starts:

•DELAY will turn off.

•The clean time will appear in the display.

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.

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 performance.

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.

•If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the Clean pad and the More+ or Lesspad, the program will automatically return to the previous display.

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