RANGESAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or
This is the safety alert symbol.
"WARNING." These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages willtell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Therange will not tip during normal use. However,the range cantip ifyou apply too much force or weight to the open door without the
anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.
See the installation instructions for details.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children
and adults.
Anti-Tip Bracket
Range Foot
Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:
• Slide range forward.
• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.
• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injuryto 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 back-
guard 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 under-
sized 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 under-
neath 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.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
• Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. 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 heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns - among these
surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven
doors.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For self-cleaning ranges -
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket - The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to 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.
• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan
and other utensils.
For units with ventilating hood -
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE
Quick Light Radiant Heating Elements
The quick light radiant heating elements are designed for fast
heat response. You can see them light up in just seconds. These
elements consist of a set of special heater coils embedded in a
thermal insulation material. You may notice the element going on
and off a number of times during use. This is a normal occurrence.
Simmer Element (on some models)
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a
setting. The controls can be set anywhere between HI and "0"
(OFF).
On models with Ceramic Glass, the controls work on the principle
of percent on, percent off. When the control is turned to setting 5,
the element will be on 50% of the time.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
HI • To start foods cooking.
• To bring liquids to a boil.
8-6 • To hold a rapid boil.
• To quickly brown or sear meat.
5 • Tocook gravy, pudding and sauce.
• Tofry poultry or meat.
• To maintain a slow boil.
4-2 • To stew or steam food.
• To simmer food.
The simmer element is identified on the disc in the center of the
element. This element can maintain lower temperatures for
preparation of foods that require very low heat such as sauces,
chocolate or cheese.
Dual Element (on some models)
You can use the left front, dual surface element in two ways to
better match the sizes of your cookware. Use the inner area for
smaller pots that need lower wattage levels. The combination of
both inner and outer areas is for larger pots and pans that require
higher wattage levels.
The element is controlled by the "Dual / Single" control knob on
the left front of the range control panel. Push in and turn the
control knob to the desired setting in the area marked "Dual" or
"Single."
Bridge Element (on some models}
When using extra large pots or pans, you can increase the
cooktop's heating area and wattage by turning ON the surface
area between the front and rear elements. This "bridge" area
works in combination with the right front surface element. You
can also use the right rear element for full right-side heating.
The "bridge" and right side elements are controlled by the Dual
Switch control knob on the right front of the range control panel.
For just the right front element, push in and turn the control knob
to the "Single" setting. To turn ON the element and its adjacent
surface, push in and turn the control knob to the "Bridge" setting.
1 • To keep foods warm.
• To melt chocolate.
Simmer Element • Precise simmer control.
(on some models)
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some
models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire
cooktop area may become hot.
Power On Lights
The Power On lights beside the control knobs indicate which
surface elements are turned on. A Power On light will glow when
its corresponding surface element is turned on.
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
Use the Warming Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour
is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.

3. 1 in. (2.5 cm) Maximum Overhang
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
HOT Surface Indicator Lights
• Single HOT surface indicator light (on some models)
• Four or five HOT surface indicator lights (on other models)
• Five HOT surface indicator lights (on models equipped with
Warming Element)
The HOT surface indicator lights on the cooktop surface will glow
when their corresponding surface elements are turned on. The
HOT surface indicator lights will continue to glow as long as the
elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.
NOTE: Heat from the oven vent may cause the left rear HOT
surface indicator light to glow to show that the area is too warm
to touch.

1. Oven vent slide-in ranges
The oven vents should not be blocked or covered because they
allow the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking
and covering the vents 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 vents. Some
condensation may occur; however, this will not affect cooking
performance.

The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top
and bottom elements cycle on and off accordingly during preheat
and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal
cooking results.
To Bake or Roast:
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.
1. Press BAKE.
Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads (buttons) to enter
a temperature other than 350°F (175°C). Press the "up" or
"down" pads (buttons) to raise or lower the temperature in
5°F/5°C increments.
2. Press START.
A preheat time will count down, and "PrE" will appear on the
display. The oven control automatically sets preheating times
based on the oven temperature you select.
When the actual oven temperature is reached, the set
temperature will replace "PrE" on the display.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will
sound.
3. Press OFF when finished cooking.
The temperature can be changed any time after pressing START.
Preheating
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.
2. Press COOK TIME.
3. Press number pads to enter the length of time to cook.
On some models, press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow
pads (buttons) until the correct time shows on the display.
4. Press START.
The display will count down the time in hours and minutes if
the cook time is more than 1 hour, and in minutes and
seconds if the cook time is less than 1 hour.
When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off
automatically and "End" will appear on the oven display.
If on, end-of-cycle tones will sound.
5. Press OFR
You can do this step at any time to cancel timed cooking.
To Set a Cook Time and Stop Time:
Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of
day. See "Clock" section.
1. Press an oven function.
Press the number pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other
than the one displayed.
Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads (buttons) to enter
a temperature other than 350°F (175°C).
2. Press COOK TIME.

Press the HR and MIN "up" or "down" arrow pads (buttons)
until the correct time shows on the display.
4. Press STOP TIME.
5. Press the number pads to enter time of day to stop.
Press the HR and MIN "up" or "down" arrow pads (buttons)
until the correct time shows on the display.
6. Press START.
The start time is automatically calculated and displayed.
When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off
automatically and "End" will appear on the oven display.
If on, end-of-cycle tones will sound.
7. Press OFR
You can do this step at any time to cancel timed cooking.
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour
before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain
time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off
automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as
breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
To Set a Cook Time:
1. Press an oven function.
Press the number pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other
than the one displayed.
Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads (buttons) to enter
a temperature other than 350°F (175°C).
The top element operates at full power when heating.
Use this setting for normal broiling and top browning with the
door open in the Broil Stop position.
• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
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.
13
To Broil:
Before broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in,
unless recommended in the recipe.
Leave the door partly open when you use the oven to broil. This
allows the oven to stay at the proper temperature.
1. Press BROIL.
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the display until the
oven is turned off.
3. Press OFF when finished cooking.
To Vari Broil:
Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. 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.
1. Press BROIL.
Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads (buttons) to enter
a temperature other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can
be set between 300°F (150°C) and 525°F (275°C).
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display
until the oven is turned off.
3. Press OFF when finished cooking.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3 in. (7cm) 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 (4). Do not use position

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C) and cooking time can be shortened
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
• It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
• Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door
when necessary.
• Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
• Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as a
toothpick.
• Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to
determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the
temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.

!. Convection bake element
Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and
pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to
stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If
the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) of
space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
