Impona,tSuretyinstructions

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 replace 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 ovens, 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 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.

Aiwaysturn 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 EXPLOSIVE when 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 issmaller 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.

importantSurety

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.

A/ways 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 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 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.

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 itreaches this temperature. Never

use a hold or warm setting to reheat cold food. Be sure knob

isadjusted to produce a consistant temperature. Simmer: Foodforms 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

S.rfuceCooktn

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 TMElement (select models:)

The Flex-ChoiceTM element isa fully OFF

functioning element that provides an Melt 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_

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 oftime after the element isturned 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 respondto changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

• In the event of a potential boilover, removethe 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.

Hot Surface Indicator 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.

Warming Center (style may vary by model:)

Use the Warming Center to keep hot cooked foods warm, such as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates.

Setting the Control: %_?[[aCe Touch the Surface Warming Center pad and f warmn_,

then the Autoset pad. PressAutoset pad again to turn off.

Notes:

• 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.

° 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.

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 mayscratch 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 net 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 awork surface or cutting board. ° Never cook food directly on the surface.

• Do net use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but itcan also result in spillovers burning

onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.

° Do not use non-fiat 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.

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.

Fiat Pan Tests

See if your pans are flat.

The Ruler Test:

1. Place a ruler across tile 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 inchof 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 fiat 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.

Baking Differences Between Your Old

and New Oven

It is normal to notice some baking time differences between a new oven and an old one. See Adjusting the Oven Temperature

on page 16.

Notes:

If the lower oven is NOT in use, the upper oven will

preheat more quickly, Allow at least V2-inch between the baking pan or

casserole and the top element in the upper oven.

Loaf, angel food or bundt pans are not recommended in

the upper oven. Be not use temperatures below 140° Fto keep food warm

or below 200° Ffor cooking. For food safety reasons, lower temperatures are not recommended.

The back part of the lower oven bake element will not glow red during baking. This is normal.

When baking frozen, self-rise pizza in the upper oven, place the pizza on a cookie sheet to avoid overbrowning.

When preheating with a baking/pizza stone inside the upper oven, do not set oven above 400° F.To use baking/

pizza stones at temperatures above 400° in the upper oven, put stone in after the preheat beep.

To change the oven temperature during cooking, press Bake pad, then press the Autoset pad or appropriate

Self-Clean Ovens

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 as 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. 0-he 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 or sugary 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 isbeing cleaned.

To set Self=Clean:

1. Close the oven door.

2. Pressthe Clean pad.

6. After four seconds, CLEAN, DELAY and UPPERor LOWER will light and LOCK will flash in the display. When the oven door latches, LOCK will stop flashing and light

continuously to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The delay time will display.

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.

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 itwith 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 an oven door isleft open, "door" will appear in the

display and a signal will beep until the door is closed and the Clean pad is pressed again.

° If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the

Clean pad and the Autoset pad, the program will

automatically return to the previous display.

• The oven doors will bedamaged if the oven doors are forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.

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.
