IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place
a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit
off before removing the pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units--To reduce the risk of bums,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings---
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom, or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil
as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils_Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan
on.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS
• Do Not 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--If a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam
burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--
Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot
oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent islocated
below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when
the oven isoperating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven iscool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has
not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit
has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning on the power to the appliance
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
*Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently---Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Owner's Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
• 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.

Surface Cooking
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop
The ceramic-glasscooktop has electric heating coilslocated below the surface
of the glass.The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface
unit below. Most importantly, make surethe diameter of the pan matchesthe
diameter of the unit. Heat istransferred up through the surfaceof the cooktop
to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used.The type and
size of the cookware, number of surfaceunits in use and the settings of the
units are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spreadto areas
surrounding the surface units. The areas surrounding the units may become
hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be usedas a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Dropping heavyor hard objects on the cooktop may crackit. Panswith
rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods directly
on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to glass or
difficulty in cleaning will result.
Radiant Surface Units
The Radiant Surface Unit isa group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic fixtu re
below the glass cooktop. The unit temperature rises gradually and evenly. As
the temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the selected setting,
the unit will cycle on and off. The heating unit retains enough heat to provide
a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture
thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat in the heating zone.
For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes before cooking is
complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. The
amount of residual heat depends on the type and quality of cooking utensil,
the quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat setting.
Indicator Light(s)
Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within the
same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for operating the
different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be
used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The larger unit or
both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage and can be used to prepare
larger quantities of food in larger pans. When using the outer coil, both inner
and outer coils operate.
There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your range--a
surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator.
The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any surface
unit is turned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an easy check to
be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot cooktop surface indicator, located underthe glasscooktop or on the
control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and will
continue to glow until the glasscooktop hascooled down to a moderate level.

Dual Radiant Surface Unit Controls
To Operate Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be
set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the
control knob as needed. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of
heat at each setting. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the
unit.
3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing
the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking
isfinished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The
hot cooktop surface light will continue to glow after the control knob is
turned to off and will glow until the element has cooled sufficiently.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in
medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans.
Setting Type of Cooking
HiGH (HI) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (7-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (4-6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies,
steam vegetables
MEDIUM LOW (2-3) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
SIMMER (1-SIM) Keep warm, melt, simmer
Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. • Indicates inner coil only.
(_ Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either
coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn the Dual
Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired setting as
instructed above.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiterthat allows the element to cycle on and
off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the glasstop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too small for the
element or if the pan bottom is not flat.
After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to touch
either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will turn dark
in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if the units are
touched at this time.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to the unit.
