ing the oven door.

Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cook- ware. Do not use any devices or acces- sories that are not specifically recom- mended in this manual. Do not use eyelid covers, stove top grills or 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 perfor-

mance problems, and reduce the life of the components of this appliance.

WARNING: NEVER use appliance door, or drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or seat as this may result in possible tipping of the appliance, damage to the appli- ance, and serious injuries.

If appliance is installed near a window, precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over surface

elements.

NEVER use appliance to warm or heat the room. Failure to follow this instruction

can lead to possible burns, injury, fire, or damage to the appliance.

NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance.

Clothing could catch utensil handles or ignite and cause burns if garment comes

in contact with hot heating elements. To ensure proper operation and to avoid

damage to the appliance or possible injury, do not adjust, service, repair or re-

place any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this guide.

Refer all other servicing to a qualified technician.

NEVER store or use gasoline or other combustible or flammable materials in

the oven, near surface units or in the vicinity of this appliance as fumes could

create a fire hazard or an explosion. To prevent grease fires, do not let cook-

ing grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance.

Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in

a steam burn. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth which could easily touch hot heating elements and ignite.

Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

NEVER heat unopened containers on the surface unit or in the oven. Pressure

build-up in the container may cause con- tainer to burst resulting in burns, injury or

damage to the appliance. NEVER use aluminum foil to line drip

bowls or cover oven racks or oven bot- tom. This could result in risk of electric

shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

]

Aerosol-type cans are explosive when

exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Do not use or store near

appliance.

NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when using high heat. An un-

attended 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/ceram-

ic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven

service without breaking due to the sud- den change in temperature. Follow uten-

sil manufacturer's instructions when us- ing glass.

Turn pan handle toward center of cook- top, 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.

NEVER cook on brokencooktop. If cook- top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician im- mediately.

Clean cooktop with caution. Some clean- ers 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.

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease.

Allow grease to cool before attempting to

move pan.

Use care when opening door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or re- placing food.

For proper oven operation and perfor- mance, do not block or obstruct oven

vent duct. When in use, the vent and sur-

rounding area may become hot enough to cause burns.

Always place oven racks in desired loca-

tions while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact hot element in oven.

Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gasket. The gasket is es- sential for a good seal. Do not rub, dam- age, or move the gasket.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commer- cial 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, discolora- tionof the oven racksor 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.

IT;

NEVER touch surface or oven heating elements, areas near elements, or in-

terior 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. Duringand after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven untilthey have had sufficient time

to cool.

TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS-CERAMIC

SURFACE

Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See Cleaning, page 15.)

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

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 15.) 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 di- rectly on 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 15.) Make sure the surface and the pan

bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.

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.

GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE I On Canadian models with a Warming Center, the surface will not operate dur-

ing a self-clean cycle.

I Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is

used. This is normal.

I When a control is turned on, a red glow can be seen through the glass-ceram-

icsurface. The element willcycle on and off to maintain the preset heatsetting.

I Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heatfor a period of time after the unit is turned

off.Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and usethe retainedheat tocomplete the cooking. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off (seeabove), the cooking area will be cool enough to touch.

Because of the heat retention characteristics, the elementswill not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

! NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

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 requiresextra 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 grid- dles.

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.

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. Do not use abrasive cleansing pow-

ders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.

Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically

recommended. To retain the appearance of the glass

ceramic cooktop, clean after each

use.

when the LOCK indicator word is

displayed.

Avoid touching cooktop, door. win-

dow. or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

Do not usecommercial oven clean- ers on the self-clean oven finish or around any part ofthe oven as they"

will damage the finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures to automatically

clean the entire oven interior. It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or flam-

ing to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavilysoiled. It is betterto cleanthe oven regularlyrather than to wait untilthere is a heaw build-up of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.

BEFORE SELF-CLEANING

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

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.

Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive

smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle. For ease of cleaning, the

heating element can be lifted slightly (1 inch).

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 prior to a self-clean cycle.

DURING CLEAN CYCLE

When the LOCK indicator word lights in the display, the door cannot be opened.

To prevent damage to door, do not force door open when the LOCKindicator word

is displayed. Some smoke and odor may be detected

the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.

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

As 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 clean

cycle, the LOCK indicator word will turn off.At this point, the door can be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, pew- dery ash which can be removed with a

damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cyclewas not long enough.

The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

If the oven rackswere left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle,

wipe racks and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement.

A white discoloration may appear after

cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will NOT

affect performance. Finelinesmayappearin theporcelainresult-
