RANGE SAFETY
Your safety is important to us.
This guide contains safety statements under warning
symbols. Please pay special attention to these symbols
and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief
explanation of the use of the symbol.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
wWARNING
General
Read all instructions before using
•
the range.
Install or locate the range only in accor-
•
dance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must be installed
by a qualified installer. The range must
be properly connected to electrical
supply and grounded.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury
to persons, or damage when using the range,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
Do not use the range for warming or
•
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
Use the range only for its intended use
•
as described in this manual.
This symbol alerts you to hazards such
as fire, electrical shock, or other injuries.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping
•
the appliance, the appliance must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. To check if the bracket is
installed properly, see “The anti-tip
bracket” on page 27.
CAUTION: Do not store things children
•
might want above the range. Children
could be burned or injured while climbing on it.
Do not leave children alone or unat-
•
tended in area where the range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the range. They
could be burned or injured.
Do not operate the range if it is
•
damaged or not working properly.
Do not touch surface units, areas near
•
units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of oven. Surface units and
heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas
near surface units and interior surfaces
of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units,
areas near units, heating elements, or
interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the range, such as the oven
vent opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, and the oven
door, could also become hot enough to
cause burns.

RANGE SAFETY
Do not wear loose or hanging garments
•
when using the range. They could ignite
if they touch a hot surface unit and you
could be burned.
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
•
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot
holder. It could catch on fire.
Keep range vents unobstructed.
•
Do not heat unopened containers. They
•
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
Use only cookware approved for oven
•
use. Follow cookware manufacturer’s
instructions, especially when using glass
or plastic cookware.
Do not store flammable materials on or
•
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
Ceramic glass cooktop model: Do not
•
cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers could penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electrical
shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
Coil element cooktop models: Make sure
•
the reflector bowls are in place during
cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls
could subject the wiring and components underneath them to damage.
Coil element cooktop models: Do not
•
line reflector bowls with aluminum foil
or other liners. Improper installation of
these liners could result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
Select a pan with a flat bottom that is
•
about the same size as the surface unit.
If pan is smaller than the surface unit,
some of the heating element will be exposed and could result in the igniting of
clothing or pot holders. Correct pan size
also improves cooking efficiency.
Check to be sure glass cookware is safe
•
for use on the range. Only certain types
of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are
suitable for cooktops without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature.
Never leave surface units unattended at
•
high heat settings. A boilover could result
and cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that could ignite.
Turn pan handles inward, but not over
•
other surface units. This will help reduce
the chance of burns, igniting of flammable
materials, and spills due to bumping of
the pan.

When using the oven
Always position oven rack(s) in desired
•
location while oven is cool. If a rack must
be removed while oven is hot, do not let
pot holder contact hot heating elements
in oven.
Use care when opening oven door. Let
•
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
•
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
•
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan on range by covering with a wellfitting lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray.
Flaming grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if
available, a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Care and cleaning
Small amounts of formaldehyde and
•
carbon monoxide are given off in the
Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass
insulation and food decomposition.
Significant exposure to these substances
could cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be minimized by
venting with a hood or open window and
wiping out excess food spills prior to
self-cleaning.
– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –
RANGE SAFETY
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, broiler grid, oven racks, and
other cookware. Do not use your oven to
clean miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use and
Care Guide.
Coil element cooktop models: Do not
•
soak removable heating elements in
water. The elements will be damaged
and shock or fire could result.
Ceramic glass cooktop model: Clean
•
cooktop with care. Some cleaners could
produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. If a wet soft cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns.
Do not clean door heat seal. It is
•
essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage, or move
the seal. Clean only parts recommended
in this Use and Care Guide.
Do not repair or replace any part of the
•
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
Disconnect the electrical supply before
•
servicing the range.

USING YOUR RANGE
To get the best cooking results, you should use your range the correct way. This section tells
you what you need to know to use your range safely and efficiently.
USING THE SURFACE UNITS
Using the control knobs
Push in the control knobs before turning them to a
setting. You can set
them anywhere between
HI and OFF.
Surface unit heat settings
Use the following chart as a guide.
SETTING
HI
Medium High
Medium
Medium Low
LO
RECOMMENDED USE
To start foods cooking.
•
To bring liquids to a boil.
•
To hold a rapid boil.
•
To fry chicken or pancakes.
•
For gravy, pudding, and icing.
•
To cook large amounts of
•
vegetables.
To keep food cooking after
•
starting it on a higher setting.
To keep food warm until it’s
•
ready to serve.
wWARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn all controls off when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire,
or burns.
Energy saving tips
Match the pan to the surface unit size.
•
The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
•
and a well-fitting lid.
To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
•
amount of liquid possible.
Preheat your pans only when recommended and
•
for the shortest time possible.
Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
•
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
Place a filled pan on the surface unit before
•
turning it on.
Coil element models: Keep your reflector bowls
•
clean for best heat reflection.

USING THE SURFACE UNITS (CONT.)
USING YOUR RANGE
Cookware tips
Use the correct cookware to prevent damage to
•
the surface unit, cooktop, wiring, and surrounding areas.
If the cookware is too small for the surface unit
•
or the bottom is not flat, the surface unit could
stay glowing red for an extended length of time
causing damage to the unit.
If you start cooking on high, it is important to turn
•
the control down to a lower setting to complete
cooking.
The surface unit could overheat or be damaged
•
if a pot has boiled dry or has been left empty on
a hot surface unit.
Flat bottomed cookware, including woks, can-
•
ners, and teakettles, will provide better contact
with the surface unit and provide the best cooking results.
Warped, dented, and ribbed-bottomed cookware
•
can result in uneven cooking due to incomplete
contact with the surface unit.
Cookware that has been designed with slightly
•
indented bottoms or small expansion channels
can be used.
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
•
cookware.
The pan material (type of metal or glass) affects
•
how quickly and evenly the pan heats.
Home canning information
To protect your range:
Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results.

heat will buildup and will
damage the cooktop.
Start with hot water.

Reduce the heat setting
to the lowest position
needed to keep water

Optional canning kit
(Coil element models)
Most water-bath or pressure canners have large
diameters. If you do canning with them at high heat
settings for long periods of time, you can shorten the
life of regular surface units. This can also damage the
cooktop. If you plan to use the cooktop for canning,
we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit.
Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your Roper
dealer or authorized Roper service company.

Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
•
Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged
•
aluminum containers on the cooktop. The container could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop
that cannot be removed completely.
Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop.
•
Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave
marks that are difficult to remove or could leave
permanent marks.
Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop
•
could crack it. Be careful when using heavy
skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans

setting – to help the
area stay at the
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
•
Do not allow anything that could melt, such as
•
plastic or aluminum foil, to come in contact with
the cooktop while it is hot.
Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See
•
page 37 for more information.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use
•
will help keep the surface free from stains and
give you the most even heating. See pages 37
and 38 for care and cleaning suggestions.
Cookware tips
Check for rough spots on the bottom of your
•
metal or glass cookware which could scratch the
ceramic surface.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean
•
and dry before using them. Food and water
particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits
on the cooktop when it is heated.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cook-
ware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit.
The cookware could overheat and damage itself
or the surface unit.
Hot surface indicator light
(Ceramic glass cooktop model)
The Hot Surface Indicator Light on the cooktop will

glow when a surface unit becomes
too hot to touch. The Indicator Light
will continue to glow as long as the
surface unit is too hot to touch, even
after it is turned off.

POSITIONING RACKS AND PANS
USING YOUR RANGE
General guidelines
Follow this section carefully to get the best
cooking results.
Before turning on the oven, place oven racks
•
where you need them.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop, raise the
•
front edge, and lift it out.
Be sure the rack(s) is level.
•
Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your
•
hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven
is hot.
When baking/roasting with 1 rack, place the
•
rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
When baking/roasting on 2 racks, arrange the
•
racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides from the
bottom.
Do not place items on the oven door when it
•
is open.
Using insulated bakeware, ovenproof
glassware, and dark metal pans
When baking with insulated cookie sheets or
•
baking pans, place them in the bottom third of
the oven. You may need to increase the recommended baking times, so test for doneness
before removing from the oven.
When using ovenproof glassware or dark
•
bakeware, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F
but use the same baking time. Because these
pans absorb heat, producing darker bottom
browning and crispier crusts, place the rack in
the center of the oven. When baking pies and
bread, you can use the temperature suggested in
the recipe.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD
Frozen pies, large
roasts, turkeys, angel
food cakes
Bundt cakes, most
quick breads, yeast
breads, casseroles,
meats
Cookies, biscuits,
muffins, cakes,
nonfrozen pies
NOTE: For information on where to place your rack
when broiling, see “Broiling guide” on page 25.

USING YOUR RANGE
FOR BEST AIR CIRCULATION
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven
for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This
results in better baking.
Place the pans so that one is not directly over
•
the other.
For best results, allow 11⁄2-2 inches of space
•
around each pan and between pans and
oven walls.
Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.
•
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE
1 pan
2 pans
3 or 4 pans
PLACE
In center of the oven rack.
Side by side or slightly
staggered.
In opposite corner on each
oven rack. Stagger pans
so no pan is directly over
another.
USING ALUMINUM FOIL FOR BAKING
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies
or casseroles:
Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack
•
with the food. Turn up
the foil edges and make
sure the foil is about
1 inch larger all around
than the dish holding
the food.
Do not cover the entire
•
rack with aluminum foil.
It will reduce air circulation and give you poor
cooking results.
Do not line the oven bottom or the entire oven rack
•
with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of
your baking.

Roasting tips
For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in
•
a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the
drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate
•
doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of
the largest muscle or thickest portion of the
meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is
not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

ADJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Although your new oven is properly adjusted to
provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster
or slower than your old oven.
If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting
results, you can change the temperature calibration
by following the steps below.
NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with
a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower
the oven temperature and give you an incorrect
reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading
will change as your oven cycles.
1. Make sure the oven temperature control knob is
turned to the off position. Pull the knob straight
off and flip it over.
2. Loosen the locking screws inside the
control knob.
Note the position of the notches.
3. Adjust the temperature.
To lower the temperature, hold the knob
•
handle firmly and turn the skirt counterclock-
wise to move the tooth a notch to the left.
To raise the temperature, hold the knob
•
handle firmly and turn the skirt clockwise to
move the tooth a notch to the right.
Each notch equals about 5°F.

BROILING TIPS
Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are
•
designed to drain extra liquid and grease away
from the cooking surface. This drainage helps
prevent spatter, smoke, or fire.
Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
•
To make sure the grease drains well, do not use
•
cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling.
Broiling guide
Recommended rack positions are numbered from
the bottom (1) to the top (5). For best results, turn
meat after approximately 2⁄3 of the broiling time.
Turn chicken pieces after approximately half of
the broiling time. Very thin cuts, such as fish fillets,
may not need to be turned at all. Lobster tails are
not turned.
Place food about 3 inches or more from the broil
•
element.
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the
•
oven when you remove the food. Drippings will
bake on the pan if you leave it in the heated oven.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
(MODELS FES330E AND FES364E)
The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning
the inside of the oven. Like the other functions of your range, you run the Self-Cleaning cycle
with the easy-to-use controls. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your
oven spotless.
wWARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.
BEFORE YOU START
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot
•
enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to
burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a
soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the seal.
You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
Remove the broiler pan and grid and any pots
•
and pans being stored in the oven.
Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
•
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as
•
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar
is heated to a high temperature in the SelfCleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause
the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain.
This can cause staining and etching or pitting.
Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
•
them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will
become harder to slide. (See page 33.) If you
clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated
by opening a window or by turning on a vent
hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
TIPS:
Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
•
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.
Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
•
may melt.
Do not leave any foil in the oven during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at any time:
Turn the oven control knob to OFF.
Self-cleaning tips
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and
smoke.
HOW THE CYCLE WORKS
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn
away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven
gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or
broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease
and burns it away.
Your oven is automatically preset for a 41⁄2-hour
Self-Cleaning cycle.
The graph at the right shows you what happens
in a 41⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notice that the
heating stops 1⁄2 hour before the 41⁄2-hour setting
is up.

CARING FOR YOUR RANGE
Your range is designed so you can care for it easily. You can do most cleaning with items
found around your home. Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to
keep it looking and working like new.
wWARNING
Explosion Hazard
Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the cooktop.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire, or burns.

CARING FOR YOUR RANGE
SURFACE UNITS AND REFLECTOR BOWLS (CONT.)
NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the
cookware on the surface units. They also help catch
spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat
better and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl changes color, some of your
cookware may not be flat enough, or some may be
too large for the surface unit. In either case, some
of the heat that’s meant to go into or around cookware goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This
extra heat can cause it to change color.
LIFT-UP COOKTOP (MODELS FEP310E, FEP320E, FEP330E, FES330E)
NOTE: Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could
result to the porcelain and the cooktop frame.
1. Lift the front of the cooktop at both front corners
until the support rods lock into place.
2. Wipe the surface under the cooktop with warm,
soapy water and a sponge. Use a soapy steelwool pad on heavily soiled areas.
3. To lower the cooktop, lift the cooktop from both
sides while pressing the support rods back to
unlock them. Lower the cooktop into place.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP (MODEL FES364E)
CARING FOR YOUR RANGE
Your cooktop is designed for easy care. However,
you need to maintain your ceramic glass cooktop
differently than you would standard electric opencoil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop
will not burn off as on open-coil elements. Because
of this, you should keep the surface dust free and
soil free before heating.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at the factory
for improved protection
and easier cleaning.
The Cooktop Polishing Creme included
with your range,
a soft cloth or a
sponge, and a singleedge razor blade in a
holder (see next page
for ordering information)
are all you need
to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review “Cleaning tips” in the next
column and on the next page. Follow them after
each time you use your cooktop. This will ensure
you get the best performance out of your cooktop,
as well as preserve that uniquely elegant look.
Cleaning tips
What to use:
Cooktop Polishing Creme included with your
•
Razor scraper in a holder – Use this scraper to
•
range with a soft cloth
or clean, damp sponge –
This creme has been
developed especially for
cleaning and protecting
your cooktop. When
using the creme, follow
the instructions on the
container.
remove cooked-on soils
from your ceramic glass
cooktop. To avoid
scratches, keep the razor
blade as flat against the
cooktop as possible.
Store razor blades out
of reach of children.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow these
instructions:
Remove sugar spills and soils from the cooktop
•
while the surface is still warm to avoid pitting on
the surface.
Marks from sliding metal pans on the cooktop are
•
difficult to remove completely. Use cooktop
polishing creme to clean the area. Several applications may be necessary.
Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads,
•
gritty powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust
remover, ammonia, or glass cleaning products
with ammonia. These products could damage
the cooktop surface.

CARING FOR YOUR RANGE
CLEANING THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP (CONT.)
Steps to follow:
1. You can wipe off most spills easily using a soft
cloth or clean, damp sponge as soon as the Hot
Surface Indicator Light goes off.
2. For stubborn spills, rub the Cooktop Polishing
Creme into cooked-on soil using a soft cloth.
If some soil remains, leave some creme on the
spot(s) and follow Step 3.
3. Carefully scrape spots with the razor scraper.
4. Finish by polishing the entire cooktop with
Cooktop Polishing Creme and a soft cloth.
To order the Cooktop Polishing Creme (Part No.
3184477) or a razor scraper (Part No. 3183488),
call 1-800-447-6737. You will hear a recording.
Follow the steps to place an order.
How to keep your cooktop looking like new:
IF THERE ARE
Sugary spills
and soils (such
as jellies and
candy syrups)
Dark streaks,
specks, and
discoloration
Metal marks
(from copper
aluminum pans)
Tiny scratches
or abrasions
WHAT TO DO
To prevent pitting on the
cooktop, wipe up with a
soft cloth or clean, damp
sponge while the ceramic
glass surface is still
warm. Remove spills as
soon as possible after
they occur.
Use the Cooktop Polishing
Creme or a nonabrasive
cleanser with a damp soft
cloth or sponge.
Use the Cooktop Polishing
Creme or a gritty cleanser
with a damp soft cloth or
sponge before heating the
cooktop again. If heated
before cleaning, metal
marks may not come off.
Scratches and abrasions
do not affect cooking. After
many cleanings, they will
become less visible. To
prevent scratches and
abrasions, use the Cooktop
Polishing Creme regularly.
38
NOTE: Always wipe your cooktop with clean water
and dry it well after using the cleanser to prevent
streaking or staining.
