IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
range, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
■
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE
SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP
DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE
INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD,
LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY
ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK
SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP
BRACKET.
■
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
■
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the
Room.
■
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not
be left alone or unattended in area where the range
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the range.
■
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
range.
■
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of
the range unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
■
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven or near surface
units.
■
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
■
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
■
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact surface units or
areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and
surfaces facing the cooktop.
■ Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. 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 burner
will also improve efficiency.
■ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
■ Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
■ Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a 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 range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
■ Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
■ Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements –
Heating elements should never be immersed in
water.
■ 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 steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.

Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the surrounding areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in.
(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
■ Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
■ On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.
■ On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element
will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for ordering
instructions.
■ For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies who
manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a wellfitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

Baking and Roasting
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired
temperature setting. The OVEN ON and OVEN HEATING
lights will turn on and the set temperature will appear in the
display for 5 seconds.
On some models, set the oven selector to BAKE and turn the
oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature
setting. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn on and will turn
off once the oven is preheated.
2. Place food in oven.
The bake and roasting elements will turn on and off to keep
the oven temperature at the setting. The OVEN ON indicator
light(s) will turn on and off with the elements.
3. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven
temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator
light will turn off.
Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when broiling allows more precise control. The lower
the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and
unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook
better at lower broiling temperatures.
■ Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling Chart. It is not
necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to
the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.
1
1. Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the
oven vent.
The element can be used when the oven is in use as long as the
cookware does not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the
element.
11
Page 12
To Broil:
Push in and turn oven control knob to BROIL.
1.
On some models, set the oven selector and oven temperature
control knob to BROIL. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn
on.
After broiling, turn the oven control knob to OFF.
2.
On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven
temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator
light will turn off.
To Broil at a Lower Temperature:
If food is cooking too fast, turn the oven temperature control
knob counterclockwise until the OVEN ON indicator light goes
off.
To broil food slower from the start of cook time, set the oven
temperature control knob between 170°F and 325°F (77°C and
163°C). These temperature settings let the broil elements cycle
and slow cooking results.
Broiling Chart
For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are
numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the

Self-Cleaning Cycle
(on some models)
WARNING
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.
IMPORTANT:
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds
to another closed and well ventilated room.
Self-clean the oven before it is heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in
longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. See “Oven Vent(s)” section.
Prepare Oven:
■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■ Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
■ Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. If
leaving in, place them on rack positions 2, 3 or 4. For
diagram, see “Positioning Racks and Bakeware”. Racks will
discolor and become harder to slide. See “General Cleaning”
for more information.
■ Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½ in. (3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being careful not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this
area.
■ Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not
affect cooking performance.
