General Instructions

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 appliance, and se

rious injuries. If appliance is installed near a window,

proper precautions should be taken to pre

vent curtains from blowing over surface elements.

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

lead to possible bums, injury, fire, or dam age to the appliance.

NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging gar ments while using the appliance. Clothing could catch utensil handles or ignite and cause bums if garment comes in contact with

hot heating elements. To ensure proper operation and to avoid damage to the appli

ance 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 flam

mable materials in the oven, near surface units or in the vicin ity of this appliance as fumes could create a fire hazard or an

explosion.

To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking grease or other flam mable 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 potholder 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 cook ing is completed.

NEVER heat unopened containers on the surface unit or in

oven. 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 to cover an

oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only

as directed in this guide.

Cooktop

NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when using high heat settings. An unattended boilover could cause

smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.

This appliance is equipped with different

size surface elements. Select pans having flat bottoms large enough to cover ele ment. Proper relationship of pan to ele

ment 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, earth enware, 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 acces sories that are not specifically recommended in this manual.

Do not use eyelid covers, stovetop grills or add-on oven

convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create

serious saftey 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 sur

face element. This reduces the risk of bums, ignition of flammable materials, or spill

age if pan is accidently bumped or reached

by small children.

To prevent damage to removable heating elements, do not immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher or self-clean oven. A damaged element could short resulting in a fire or shock

hazard.

Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence of these bowls during cooking could damage wiring.

Glass-Ceramic Cooktop (select models)

NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the bro ken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Deep Fat Fryers

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or dispos ing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to

move pan.

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 to wipe spills on a hot cook ing area, be careful to avoid steam burn.

Page 4

Safety Instructions (continued)

Oven

Use care when opening door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replac

ing food. For proper oven operation and perfor

mance, do not block or obstruct oven vent duct.

Always place oven racks in desired locations while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

Self-Cleaning Oven

Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gas ket. The gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gas

ket. 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 tion of the oven racks or possible damage to utensils.

Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy spills, be fore the clean cycle to prevent smoking or flare-ups.

Child Safety

NEVER leave children alone or unsu pervised 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.

CAUTION: NEVER store items of in

terest to children in cahinets above an

appliance or on backguard of a range. Children climbing on appliance, door or drawer to reach items could damage the appliance or be burned or seriously injured.

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 Cherry

Jubilee) under the hood.

It is normal for the cooktop to become hot during a clean

cycle. Therefore, avoid touching or lifting the cooktop dur ing a clean cycle.

Heating Elements

NEVER touch surface or oven heating elements, areas near elements, or interior 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 bums. During and

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

to cool.

Other potentially hot surfaces include; Cooktop, areas fac ing the cooktop, oven vent, and surfaces near the vent open ing, oven door, areas around the door and oven window.

Glass-Ceramic Surface

(select models)

CAUTION; Do not use the cooktop if the glass is

cracked or broken, or if metal melts on to it. Call an authorized servicer. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

• On Canadian models, the right front element will not operate during a self-clean cycle. This is normal.

• Cooktop may emit a light smoke and odor the first few times

the cooktop is used. This is normal.

• When a control is turned on, a red glow from the element can

be seen through the glass-ceramic surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting.

• Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the unit is turned off. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off (see page 9), the surface will be cool enough to touch.

• NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

Tips to Protect the Surface

• Before first use, clean the cooktop as directed in the cleaning chart on pages 17 and 18.

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

• Do not allow plastic, aluminum foil, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. If these

accidentally melt onto the cooktop, clean immediately. (See cleaning chart, pages 17 and 18.)

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

• Never cook food directly on the surface.

• Never let a pan boil dry as this will permanently damage the surface and pan.

• Never use foil-type disposable containers or 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 he removed promptly. (See cleaning chart, pages 17 and 18.)

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent

patterns on the glass-ceramic surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than H2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area, (For more information on cookware, refer to

“Cooking Made Simple” booklet.)

• 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 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.

Care and Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven

• It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a

Self-Clean CAUTIONS:

clean cycle. Avoid touching cooktop, door, window, or oven vent

area during a 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 to IV2 inches).

• To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open the door when the LOCK indicator word is displayed.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the self-clean oven finish or around any part of the 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 flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy 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.

Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily

after a self-clean cycle.

Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside the door gasket) and around the open ing in the door gasket with a nonabrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami or deter gent and water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle.

Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid re sistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor ij

acid spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.

During Clean Cycle

When the LOCK indicator word lights in the di splay, the door cannot be opened. To prevent damage to door, do not force

door open when the LOCK indicator 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 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, powdery ash which can be

removed with a damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be re moved during the next clean cycle.

If the oven racks were 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 acid or sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will NOT affect performance.

Cleaning Procedure I

Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal and may crack or chip with misuse. It is acid resistant, not acid proof. All spillovers, especially acid or sugar spillovers, should be wiped up immediately

with a dry cloth.

• When cool, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.

• Never wipe off a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth. This may cause cracking or chipping.

. Never use oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic cleaning agents on exterior finish of range.

Never cover insert with aluminum foil as this prevents the fat from draining to the pan below.

• Place soapy cloth over insert and pan; let soak to loosen soil.

• Wash in warm soapy water. Use soap filled scouring pad to remove stubborn soil.

• Broiler pan and insert can be cleaned in dishwasher.

• To activate “Control Lock” for cleaning, see page 5.

• Wipe with a damp cloth and dry.

• Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a cloth first. DO NOT spray directly on

control pad and display area.

• Remove knobs in the OFF position by pulling forward.

• Wash, rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as they may scratch the finish.

• Turn on each element to be sure the knobs have been correctly replaced.

Porcelain may discolor or craze if overheated. This is normal and will not affect cooking performance.

• When cool, wash after each use, rinse and dry to prevent staining or discoloration. May be

washed in the dishwasher.

• To clean heavy soil, soak in hot sudsy water, then use mild abrasive cleaner such as Soft Scrub

and a plastic scouring pad.

• For burned on soil, remove from range, place on newspapers and carefully spray with

commercial oven cleaner. (Do not spray surrounding surfaces.) Place in plastic bag and allow to soak several hours. Wearing rubber gloves, remove from bag, wash, rinse and dry.

• When cool, wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Never wipe a warm or hot surface with

a damp cloth as this may damage the surface and may cause a steam bum.

• For stubborn soil, use mildly abrasive cleaning agents such as baking soda paste or Bon Ami.

Do not use abrasive, caustic or harsh cleaning agents such as steel wool pads or oven cleaners. These products will scratch or permanently damage the surface.

NOTE: Use dry towel or cloth to wipe up spills, especially acid or sugary spills. Surface may discolor

or dull if soil is not immediately removed. This is especially important for white surfaces.
