Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such as Cherries Jubilee) under the hood.
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 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
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.
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.

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 (select models)
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. Turn control knob to OFF before switching element size.
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.
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. 
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.
Medium (5-7): Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts of liquids and for most frying operations.
Med. High (8-9): Use to brown meat, heat oil for deep fat frying or sauteing. Maintain fast boil for large amounts of liquids.
CAUTION
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.
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:
•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 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.

Warming Center 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.
•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 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.
•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 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 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 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.
•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.

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.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges get older, the oven temperature can shift.
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results of the “test” should give you an idea of how much to adjust the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. Press the appropriate Bake pad.
2. Enter 550° by pressing the More+ pad.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until “0°” and “AdJ” (which signifies ‘adjust’) appear in the display.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change will be displayed. For example, if the oven temperature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.
4.Press the More+ or Lesspad to adjust the temperature.
Each time a pad is pressed, the temperature changes by 5°. The oven temperature can be increased or decreased by 5° to 35°.
5.The time of day will automatically reappear in the display
You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a power failure or interruption. Broiling and cleaning temperatures cannot be adjusted.

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 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.
Self-Clean 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 Lesspad, the program will automatically return to the previous display.

Maintenance
Oven Doors
CAUTION
•Do not place excessive weight on or stand on open oven doors. This could cause the range to tip over, break the door, 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.
Oven Windows
To protect the oven door window:
1.Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch the glass.
2.Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or other objects.
3.Do not close the oven door until the oven racks are in place.
Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later date.
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.
3.Lift up evenly until door clears hinge arms.
To replace:
1.Grasp door at each side.
2.Align slots in the door with the hinge arms on the range.
3.Slide the door down onto the hinge arms until the door is completely seated on the hinges. Push down on the top corners of the door to completely seat door on hinges. Door should not appear crooked.
Note: The oven door on a new range may feel “spongy” when it is closed. This is normal and will decrease with use.
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 aluminum foil directly on the oven bottom.
Upper and Lower Oven Lights
CAUTION
•Disconnect power to oven before replacing light bulb.
•Allow oven to cool before replacing light bulb.
•Make sure bulb cover and bulb are cool before touching.
To assure the proper replacement bulb is used, order bulb from Maytag. Call 1-877-232-6771 USA and 1-800-688-8408 Canada, ask for part number 74009925 - halogen bulb.
To replace upper oven light bulbs:
1.Disconnect power to the range.
2.When oven is cool, use fingertips to grasp edge of bulb cover. Pull out and remove.
3.Carefully remove old bulb by pulling straight out of ceramic base.
4.To avoid damaging or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do not touch the bulb with bare hands or fingers. Hold with a cloth or paper towel. Push new bulb prongs straight into small holes of ceramic base.
5.Replace bulb cover by snapping into place.
6.Reconnect power to range. Reset clock.
