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.
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.
Save These Instructions for Future Reference
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

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 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.
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.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size and type of cookware, type and amount of food
being heated, and wattage of individual elements will determine where to set the knob for cooking operations. Some
elements have a predetermined simmer and melt setting that
will require only minor adjustment up or down depending on
the food being prepared. The other elements have settings
printed around the knobs that are also unique to those
elements. Adjust the heat settings to the numbers that give
the desired cooking results. For information on cookware and
other factors affecting heat settings, refer to Cookware
Recommendations on page 7. The following descriptions will
aid in choosing the settings that will give optimum results.
Hold or Warm: Food maintains a temperature above 140°F
without continuing to cook. Food is initially hot and then heat
is reduced. Never use a hold or warm setting to reheat cold
food.
Simmer: Food forms bubbles that barely break the
surface. Foods are between 185°F and 200°F. A simmer
setting can also be used to steam or poach foods or continue
cooking covered foods.
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.
Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil setting
can also be used to brown meat, stir fry, sauté, and heat oil
for frying before turning to a lower setting. The highest 3 or 4
Front
settings on the knob are used for these cooking
operations. The highest setting is always used to bring water
to a boil. Some elements offer an even higher speed for
boiling liquids.
Dual Element
The cooking surface has a dual element
located at the left front of the
smoothtop. This allows you to change
the size of the element.
The small element is operated on the
left side of the knob control. To operate
the entire element, use the right side of
the knob control. The control for both
element sizes can be set anywhere
between Low and High.
Triple Element
The cooking surface has one triple element located in the
right front position. This element can be used for larger
cooking utensils when the triple element is used, or for
smaller pans when the
single or dual
settings are
chosen. To
select single,
dual or triple
settings, rotate
the element
selection knob.
Flex-ChoiceTM Element (select models)
The Flex-ChoiceTM element is a fully
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
2 and OFF. Heat settings outside of this
area function as a normal element, with
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.
4
Surface Cooking
Power BoostTM Option
(select models)
The element located in the right front
position offers higher speed cooking
that can be used to quickly bring water
to a boil and for large-quantity cooking
when combined with the dual or triple
element option.
Warming Center
Use the Warming Center to keep hot cooked foods warm,
such as vegetables and gravies.
Setting the Control:
1. Push in and turn the knob. Warming
temperatures are approximate and
are indicated on the control as Low,
2-10 and High. However, the
control can be set to any position
between Low and High.
2. When done, turn the control to OFF
and remove food. The Hot Surface
indicator light will go off when the
Warming Center surface has cooled.
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.
• Heat settings will vary depending on type and amount of
food. Always hold food at proper food temperatures. USDA
recommends food temperatures between 140°-170° F.

Setting Type of food
Low - 2 Breads/Pastries Gravies
Casseroles Eggs
2 - Medium Sauces Soups (Cream)
Stews Vegetables
Meats
Medium - High Fried Foods Hot Beverages
Soups (Liquid)
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 utensils 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.
• Be very careful not to allow aluminum foil to touch the
cooktop. If foil melts, do not use the cooktop. Call an
authorized servicer.
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.
5
Surface Cooking
Smoothtop Surface
Smoothtop Surface Notes:
• 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 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 Hi.
For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware
Recommendations on page 7.

Tips to Protect the
Smoothtop Surface
Cleaning (see page 21 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 21.)
• 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.
9”/6” DUAL

Hot Surface Light
The Hot Surface indicator light is located at the front of the
cooking surface. 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.
6” REGULAR
ELEMENT
12” TRIPLE
ELEMENT
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 21.)
• Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and
pan.
6
Surface Cooking
• 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 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 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.
Select Avoid
Flat, smooth-bottom Pans with grooved or warped bottoms.

same size as the element by 1 inch.
element.
Secure handles. Cookware with loose or broken handles.
Heavy handles that tilt the pan.
Tight-fitting lids. Loose-fitting lids.
Flat bottom woks. Woks with a ring-stand bottom.
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 ovens
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 degrees
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 Bake pad.
2. Enter 550° by pressing the appropriate
number pads.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until
0° appears 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 degrees the display will
show “-15°”.
4. Press the Autoset 0 pad to adjust the temperature.
Each time the Autoset 0 pad is pressed, the temperature
changes by 5 degrees. The oven temperature can be
increased or decreased by 5 to 35 degrees.
Pressing the Autoset 0 pad will first cycle through
increasing the oven temperature (5, 10, . . . 35). Continuing
to press the Autoset 0 pad will then cycle through
decreasing the oven temperature (-35, -30, . . . -5).
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. Temperature adjustment applies
to Bake, Convect Bake (select models) and Convect Roast
(select models) only. Broiling, Keep Warm and Cleaning
temperatures cannot be adjusted.

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.
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.
2. Remove all pans and oven racks from the oven. The oven
racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a selfclean 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.

settings.
HVy (Heavy Soil, 4 hours)
MEd (Medium soil, 3 hours)
LITE (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.
• If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and “door” will
display. If the door is not closed within 30 seconds, the
self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display
will return to the time of day.
• CLEAN will appear in the display.
• LOCK will flash in the display. Once the door locks, the
word will remain steady.
• The cleaning time will start counting down in the display.
To Delay a Self-Clean Cycle:

LITE (Light Soil, 2 hours)
Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs
the self-cleaning time.
6. After four seconds, CLEAN and DELAY 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, 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.
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 perfor-
mance.
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 Autoset 0 pad, 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.
Sounds
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage the oven.
