vicinity of this appliance as fumes could create a fire hazard or an explosion.

To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking 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 ovens. Pressure build-up in the container may cause container 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 bottoms. 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 EXPLOSIVEwhen exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Do not use or store near 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 sized 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.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use 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 performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of this appliance.

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.

Glass-Ceramic Cooktop

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.

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.

Importnnt$nfetyInstructions

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.

Ovens

Use care when opening doors. 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 ovens are 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 ovens are cool. If rack must be moved while an oven is hot, do

not let potholder contact hot element in oven.

Self-Cleaning Ovens

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 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.

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.

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 atoy. 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 flambeing 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.

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.

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.

Warm (right or left rear element): Food maintains a tempera- ture above 140° Fwithout continuing to cook. Food is heated

on a higher setting until it reaches this temperature. Never use a hold or warm setting to reheat cold food. Be sure knob

is adjusted to produce a consistant temperature. Simmer: Food forms bubbles that barely break the surface.

Foods are between 185° Fand 200° F.A simmer setting can also be used to steam or poach foods or continue cooking

covered foods. (Adjust the knob between High and Low to obtain the desired simmer action.)

Slow Boil: Food forms bubbles at a moderate pace. A slow boil setting can also be used for most frying and for

maintaining the cooking of large amounts of liquids. (Adjust

Surfu©eCooking

the knob between High and Low to obtain the desired boil action.)

Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil setting can be used to bring liquid to a boil, brown meat, stir fry,

saute, and heat oil for frying before turning to a lower setting. The High setting is always used to bring liquids to a boil.

Once the liquid boils, always turn the control to the lowest setting that will maintain the boil action.

Flex-Choice TM Element (select models)

The Flex-ChoiceTM element is a fully OFF functioning element that provides an

ultra low Melt heat setting for melting chocolate and butter. It is located in

the left rear position The Melt setting is located between s_m

2 and OFF.Heat settings outside of this area function as a normal element, with Medium

2 (Low) tO High settings.

Note: When using the normal settings for preparing foods, it may take a few minutes for the cooking area to cool to

the Melt heat setting.

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 I/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

When a control isturned 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.

Smoothtop Surface

Notes:

• For 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 isnormal.

• 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 lightturns 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 mayappear discolored when it is hot. This isnormal and will disappear when the surface

cools.

Hot Surface 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.

Setting the Control:

Press switch up to turn off or down to activate.

Important:

• 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.

Notes:

• 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.

• De not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Tips to Protect the Smoothtop Surface

Cleaning (see page 20 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.

• De 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 20.)

• 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 aclean 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 maycause 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

• De not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen,

clean immediately. (See Cleaning, page 20.)

• 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.

• De 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.

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

oversized canners and griddles.

• De 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 bevisible 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.

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

I 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.

&Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven

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. The light may burn out during the clean cycle.

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.

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.

Important:

• Oven temperature must be below 400° Fto program a clean cycle.

• Only one oven can be cleaned at a time.

• Both oven doors lock when either oven is being cleaned.

To set Self-Clean:

1. Close the oven door.

Press the Clean pad.

to count down.

Clean

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,

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 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 re- moved 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

[]love.

When the Self-Clean cycle starts:

•"dLY" will turn off.

• "Clean", "Hours", "Lock" and the clean time will appear

in the display.

To cancel the Self-Clean cycle:

Press the CANCEL pad. (CANCE0

• All words disappear from the display.

• All functions are canceled.

• The time of day appears in the display.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went through heating and cooling. This isnormal 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 appear in the display until the door is closed.

• If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the Clean pad and the More+ or Less- pad, the program will

automatically return to the previous display.

• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is
