General Instructions

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 eyelid covers, 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.

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 serious injuries.

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 oven, 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.

Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

NEVER heat unopened containers on the surface unit or in the 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 cover oven racks or oven bottom. 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 size 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.

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.

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.

Oven

Use care when opening door. 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 in use, the vent and surrounding area may become hot enough to cause burns.

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 element in oven.

Self-Cleaning Oven

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 oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils to prevent excessive smoking, discoloration of the oven racks or possible damage to utensils.

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.

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 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 oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

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 during the self-clean cycle by opening a window and/or door in the room where the appliance is located.

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.

4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Re-

move pan.

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

“Cooking Made Simple” booklet.

HIGH: Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always

reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

9 MED. HIGH: Use to brown meat, heat oil for deep fat frying or sautéing. Maintain fast boil for large amounts of liquids.

MEDIUM: Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts of liquids and for most frying operations.

3 MED. LOW: Use to continue cooking covered foods or steam foods.

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 con-

trols which surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

➢ Begin cooking on a higher heat set-

ting 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.

Glass-Ceramic Surface

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

For more information on cookware, refer to “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.

DUAL ELEMENT

SURFACE COOKING, CONT.

HOT SURFACE LIGHT

The hot surface indicator light is located at the front center of the cooktop. 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

HOT SURFACE

LIGHT ON COOKTOP

WARMING CENTER

(Select models)

Use the warming center to keep cooked foods warm, such as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates.

Push the switch on the control panel to turn the warming center on and off.

NOTES:

WARMING CENTER

❚ 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.

❚ Use only cookware and dishes rec-

ommended 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.

❚ It is not recommended to warm

food for longer than one hour, as food quality may deteriorate.

❚ It is not recommended to heat cold

food on the Warming Center.

TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE

➢ Before first use, clean the cooktop.

(See Cleaning, page 15.)

➢ Do not use glass pans. They may

scratch the surface.

➢ 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 15.)

➢ 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.

➢ 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 15.)

➢ Make sure the surface and the pan

bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.

➢ 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.

➢ 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.

➢ 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.

➢ Do not use abrasive cleansing pow-

ders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.

➢ Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia

or other cleansers not specifically recommended.

➢ To retain the appearance of the glass

ceramic cooktop, clean after each use.

NOTES:

GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE

❚ On Canadian models with a Warming Center, the surface will not operate dur-

ing a self-clean cycle.

❚ Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is

used. This is normal.

❚ When a control is turned on, a red glow can be seen through the glass-ceram-

ic 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. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete the cooking. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off (see above), the cooking area will be cool enough to touch.

Because of the heat retention characteristics, the elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

❚ NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

CARE & CLEANING

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION:

➢ It is normal for parts of the range to

become hot during a clean cycle.

➢ To prevent damage to oven door,

do not attempt to open the door when the LOCK indicator word is displayed.

➢ Avoid touching cooktop, door, win-

dow, or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

➢ Do not use commercial oven clean-

ers 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.

prevent soil from baking on during the 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 inch).

Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato or milkbased sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.

DURING CLEAN CYCLE

When the LOCK indicator word lights in the display, 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 the 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 removed 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 acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will NOT affect performance.

Cleaning Procedures

CAUTION:

➢ Be sure appliance is off and all

parts are cool before handling or cleaning. This is to avoid damage and possible burns.

➢ To prevent staining or discoloration,

clean appliance after each use.

➢ If a part is removed, be sure it is

correctly replaced.

BACKGUARD & COOKTOP

PORCELAIN ENAMEL & TRIM ON GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACES

Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal and may crack or chip with misuse. It is acid resistant, not acid proof. All spillovers, especially acidic or sugary 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.

BOILER PAN & INSERT

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.

ENAMEL (PAINTED)

SIDE PANELS, DOOR HANDLE, STORAGE & WARMING DRAWERS

➢ 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 burn.

➢ For stubborn soil, use mildly abrasive

cleaning agents such as baking soda paste or Bon Ami*. Do not use abrasive cleaners 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 acidic or sugary spills. Surface may discolor or dull if soil is not immediately removed. This is especially important for white surfaces.

GLASS

OVEN WINDOW & DOOR

➢ Avoid using excessive amounts of

water which may seep under or behind glass causing staining.

➢ Wash with soap and water. Rinse with

clear water and dry. Glass cleaner can be used if sprayed on a cloth first.

➢ Do not use abrasive materials such as

scouring pads, steel wool or powdered cleaners as they will scratch glass.

GLASS-CERAMIC COOKTOP

Never use oven cleaners, chlorine bleach, ammonia or glass cleaners with ammonia. NOTE: Call an authorized servicer if the glass-ceramic top should crack, break or if metal or aluminum foil should melt on the cooktop.

➢ Allow the cooktop to cool before

cleaning.

➢ General – Always clean cooktop after

each use, or when needed, with a damp paper towel and Cooktop Cleaning Creme* (Part No.

20000001)**. Then, buff with a clean, dry cloth.

NOTE: Permanent stains will develop if soil is allowed to cook on by repeatedly using the cooktop when soiled.

➢ Heavy Soils or Metal Marks –

Dampen a “scratchless” or “never scratch” scrubber sponge. Apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme* (Part No.

20000001)** and scrub to remove as much soil as possible. Apply a thin layer of the creme over the soil, cover with a damp paper towel and let stand 30 to 45 minutes (2-3 hours for very heavy soil). Keep moist by covering the paper towel with plastic wrap. Scrub again, then buff with a clean dry cloth.

NOTE: Only use a CLEAN, DAMP “scratchless” pad that is safe for non-stick cookware. The pattern and glass will be damaged if the pad is not damp, if the pad is soiled, or if another type of pad is used.

➢ Burned-on or Crusty Soils – Scrub

with a “scratchless” or “never scratch” scouring pad and Cooktop Cleaning Creme*.

NOTE: Hold a razor blade scraper at a 30° angle and scrape any remaining soil. Then, clean as described above. Do not use

the razor blade for daily cleaning as it may wear the pattern on the glass.

➢ Melted Sugar or Plastic – Immedi-

ately turn element to LOW and scrape from hot surface to a cool area. Then turn element OFF and cool. Clean residue with razor blade scraper and Cooktop Cleaning Creme*.

METAL FINISHES

➢ Wash with soap and water, a glass

cleaner, or mild liquid detergent.

have been properly set. See pages 4 and 9.

❚ Check if oven door is unlocked after

self-clean cycle. See page 14.

❚ Check if oven is set for a delayed cook

or clean program. See pages 13 and 14.

GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE SHOWS WEAR.

1. Tiny scratches or abrasions,

❚ Cooktop and pan bottom are clean.

Do not slide glass or metal pans across top. Make sure pan bottom is not rough. Use the recommended cleaning agents. See page 15.

2. Metal marks.

❚ Do not slide metal pans across top.

When cool, clean with Cooktop Cleaning Creme. See page 15.

3. Brown streaks and specks.

❚ Spills not removed promptly.

Wiping with soiled cloth or sponge. Pan bottom not clean.

4. Areas with a metallic sheen.

❚ Mineral deposits from water and

food.

5. Pitting or flaking.

❚ Sugary boilovers that were not

removed promptly. See page 15.

BAKING RESULTS ARE NOT AS EXPECTED OR DIFFER FROM PREVIOUS OVEN.

❚ Make sure the oven vent has not been

blocked. See page 10 for location.

❚ Check to make sure range is level. ❚ Temperatures often vary between a

new oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven temperature often “drifts” and may become hotter or cooler. See page 8 for instructions on adjusting the oven temperature. NOTE: It is not recommended to adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are in question.

❚ Check that oven temperature is de-

creased by 25° F when convect baking.

❚ See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet

for more information on bakeware and baking.

FOOD IS NOT BROILING PROPERLY OR SMOKES EXCESSIVELY.

❚ Check oven rack positions. Food may

be too close to element.

❚ Broil element was not preheated. ❚ Aluminum foil was incorrectly used.

Never line the broiler insert with foil.

❚ Oven door was closed during broiling.

Leave the door open to the first stop position (about 4 inches).

❚ Trim excess fat from meat before broil-

ing.

❚ A soiled broiler pan was used.

OVEN WILL NOT SELF-CLEAN.

❚ Check to make sure the cycle is not

set for a delayed start. See page 14.

❚ Check if door is closed.

OVEN DID NOT CLEAN PROPERLY.

❚ Longer cleaning time may be needed. ❚ Excessive spillovers, especially sugary

and/or acidic foods, were not removed prior to the self-clean cycle.

OVEN DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK AFTER SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.

❚ Oven interior is still hot. Allow about

one hour for the oven to cool after the completion of a self-clean cycle. The door can be opened when the LOCK indicator word is not displayed.

MOISTURE COLLECTS ON OVEN WINDOW OR STEAM COMES FROM OVEN VENT.

❚ This is normal when cooking foods

high in moisture.

❚ Excessive moisture was used when

cleaning the window.

THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OR LIGHT SMOKE WHEN OVEN IS TURNED ON.

❚ This is normal for a new range and will

disappear after a few uses. Initiating a clean cycle will “burn off” the odors more quickly.

❚ Turning on a ventilation fan will help

remove the smoke and/or odor.

❚ Excessive food soils on the oven bot-

tom. Use a self-clean cycle.

“F” PLUS A NUMBER APPEARS IN THE DISPLAY

❚ This is called a fault code. If a fault

code appears in the display and beeps sound, press the CANCEL pad. If the fault code and beeps continue, disconnect power to the appliance. Wait a few minutes, then reconnect power. If fault code and beeps still continue, disconnect power to the appliance and call an authorized servicer.
