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 will tell 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.

The range will not tip during normal use. However,the range can tip if you 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, 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

A-I-I-ACHEDTO 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.

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 Keep Warm 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.

The Keep Warm Element can be used alone or when any of the

other surface cooking areas are being used, and can be set from MIN to MAX for different levels of heating.

The Keep Warm Element area will not glow red when cycling on.

However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Keep Warm Element area is too hot to touch.

• Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use.

• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.

• Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

{Os s,ese seSe s}

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It

will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level.

It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see "General Cleaning" section.

• Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.

• Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

• Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface indicator light goes off. If not wiped up while warm, surface pitting can occur.

• Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on

cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

• Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

• Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

• Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

• Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm)

outside the area.

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 Light (under ceramic glass)

The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface

cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.

conditioning. "PrE" and the countdown time will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

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 due to the cycling of the elements.

1. Oven Vent (coil element model)

1. Oven Vent (ceramic glass model)

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. On coil element models, 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.

ACCUBAKE ®DUO SYSTEM TM Temperature Management The ACCUBAKE ®DUO SYSTEM electronically regulates the

oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain the most uniform temperature control.

Two temperature sensors will independently control the bake and

broil elements for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.

To Bake or Roast:

1. Press BAKE. Press TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a temperature

other than 350°F (175°C) in five degree amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (80°C and 260°C).

2. Press START.

The temperature can be changed after this step.

START does not need to be pressed again.

_,_[°_'_,11/ I= £' lllllilOh

The CHOICE BAKE TM function eliminates the top heat during

oven cooking. It is ideal for baking pies, casseroles and breads, and for roasting foods that require longer and slower cook times such as poultry and roasts.

Similar to the baking and roasting function, the bake elements or burners cycle on and off at intervals during CHOICE BAKE TM fuction. However, the cycle duration for the broil element is much shorter during CHOICE BAKE TM cycle, allowing less top browning of foods and more customized control for your baking

results. To Use:

1. Press CHOICE BAKETM function. Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a

temperature other that 350°F (175°C) in five degree amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (80°C and 260°C).

2. Press START. The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does

not need to be pressed again.

3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

To use the CHOICE BAKE TM function during a regular BAKE cycle

to achieve less top browning, press CHOICE BAKE TM control, set the desired temperature and press START.

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. 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.

• 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 broiler 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 the 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.

To Broil:

1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2. Press START/ENTER.

3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.

To Custom Broil:

1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2. Press TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to change the temperature in 5 ° amounts. The broil range can be set

between 300°F and 500°F (150°C and 260°C).

3. Press START/ENTER.

4. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.

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

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.

IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to one hour, however breads and casseroles may become to dry if left in the oven during Warm Hold.

Warm Hold Feature allows hot cooked foods to stay serving temperature. It can also be used at the end of a timed cook.

To Use Automatic Warm Hold Feature"

At the end of a timed cook, either with or without a delayed start,

or at the end of a sequence program in which the last step is not the Warm Hold mode, the oven will automatically default to a 1-hour warm hold mode at 170°F (80°C).

When the cook time ends or the last step of the sequence is complete, the display will show a warming countdown time. When warming ends, the oven will automatically shut off and "End" will appear on the display. Four tones will sound and then four 1-second reminder tones will sound every minute thereafter.

To Disable Automatic Warm Hold: Press and hold WARM for 5

seconds. "Off" will appear in the 4-digit display. Repeat to turn back on.

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.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

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. See "General Cleaning" section for more information.

• Hand clean inside door edge and the 11/2in. (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.

• Remove all items from the storage drawer.

RANGECARE

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to 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 becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil

results in longer cleaning and more smoke.

How the Cycle Works IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the

oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil

to a powdery ash.

The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the

time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in the glass breaking.

The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

To Self-Clean: Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or

it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.

1. Press AUTO CLEAN.

2. Press the HR and MIN "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a clean time other than 3 hour 30 minutes. The clean time can

be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.

3. Press START/ENTER. The oven door will automatically lock. "LOCKED" will appear

on the display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools. When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, "End" will

appear on the oven display and "LOCKED" will disappear.

4. Press OFF/CANCEL or open the oven door to clear the oven display.

To Delay Start Self-Clean:

Before delay starting Self-Clean, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See "Clock" section. Also, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.

1. Press AUTO CLEAN. Press the HR "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a clean time

other than 3 hour 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.

Press DELAY START TIME.

Press the HR and MIN "up" or "down" arrows pads to enter the time of day to start.

Press START/ENTER.

The time of day is displayed. The door will automatically lock and "LOCKED" and "DELAY"

will appear on the display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools.

When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn on.

When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, "End" will appear on the lower oven display and "LOCKED" will disappear.

Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven display.

To Stop Self-Clean any time:

Press OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, "cln," "cool," and "LOCKED" will appear on the display and the door
