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:

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 OR WALL, 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.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF

■ 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.

■ 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.

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 flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Melt. Push in and turn to setting.

■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across

the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough nishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

■ Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on

the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that

could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the 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 1/2" (13 mm) outside the area.

A. Surface cooking area B. Cookware/canner C. 1/2" (13 mm) maximum overhang

REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal operation. It will also randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on High, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures.

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

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, orharsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping

a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack thecooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, 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.

■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and

soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

■ Use at-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and

energy efciency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, ordented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

■ Determine atness 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.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly

on the cooktop.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

Cooktop On Indicator Light

The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the display panel. When any cooktop element on the console panel is turned on, theCooktop On indicator light will glow.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

On ceramic glass models, the Hot Surface indicator light is located on the display panel.

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 is turned off.

Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)

The Dual Zone cooking element offers exibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer elements and is recommended for larger size cookware.

A B

A. Dual B. Single

Melt Cooking Element (on some models)

The Melt cooking element offers exibility due to a wide range of settings between HI and Melt. The HI heat option can be used to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. The lowest setting can be used to prepare sauces and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt element.

A B

The Warm Zone area will not glow red when cycling on. However, the Cooktop On indicator light will be displayed when the Warm Zone is in use.

■ Use only cookware 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.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use plastic wrap

tocover food because the plastic wrap may melt.

■ Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

To Use:

1. To turn on, press WARM ZONE andthenthe Start keypad.

2. To turn off, press WARM ZONE.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface

cooking area, element, or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides, and a

well-tting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough nishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and coppermay be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on thesurfaces.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick nish has thesame characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick nish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under thebroiler.

Check for atness 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.

WARNING

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.

Use the cooktop Warm Zone 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 Warm Zone can be used alone or when any of the other

surface cooking areas are being used.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Cookware Characteristics Aluminum ■ Heats quickly and evenly.

■ Suitable for all types of cooking

■ Medium or heavy thickness is best

formost cooking tasks.

■ May leave aluminum residue which may

be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

Cast iron ■ Heats slowly and evenly.

■ Good for browning and frying

■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.

■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch

thecooktop.

Ceramic or ceramic glass

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.

■ Ideal results on low-to-medium heat

settings

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Copper ■ Heats very quickly and evenly.

■ May leave copper residue which may be

diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond

tothe cooktop if overheated.

Earthenware ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Use on low heat settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel or castiron

■ See stainless steel or cast iron.

■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without the

metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated.

Stainless steel ■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.

■ A core or base of aluminum or copper

on stainless steel provides even heating.

Use at-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efciency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (13 mm) outside the area.

Home Canning

Canning can be performed on a glass smoothtop cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or

element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area orelement.

■ Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas or elements

atthe same time.

■ On ceramic glass models, use only at-bottomed canners

toavoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension

ofce or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the rst few times or when it is heavily soiled.

When the start time is reached, the Bake, On, and Cook Time indicator lights will automatically turn on. When the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and the indicator lights will turn off, indicating the end of the cycle.

Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath mode compliant).

NOTE: If “SAb” does not appear in your display, the Sabbath mode is not active. After Sabbath mode is deactivated, you must activate Sabbath mode by completing steps 1 through 5.

Keep Warm

WARNING

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 1 hour; however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven during the Keep Warm function. For best results, coverfood.

The Keep Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at servingtemperature.

To Use:

1. Press KEEP WARM.

2. Press the Temp/Time up or down arrow keypad until desired

temperature is reached. A tone will sound if the minimum or maximum temperature is reached.

3. Press the Start keypad.

4. Place food in the oven.

5. Press the Cancel keypad when nished. NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing

the Temp/Time up or down arrow keypad to reach the desired temperature and then pressing the Start keypad.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom

nish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil

because air must be able to move freely.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain

nish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door orbottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2"(5cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make surethatno bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

■ Position racks before turning on the oven.

■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

■ Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration asa guide.

5 4 3 2

The oven has seven positions for a at rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on Two Racks

Baking Layer Cakes

For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a at rack in rack position 4, and a at rack in rack position 2. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3" (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes.

Baking Cookies on Two Racks

For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the Bake function and place at racks in positions 2 and 5.

Oven Vent

A. Oven vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven andshould not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Flat Rack Position Type of Food 5 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers,

steaks, or toast.

4 Broiling thicker cuts of meat, poultry, sh 3 or 4 Frozen prepackaged foods, most baked

goods, and casseroles.

1 or 2 Large roasts or poultry

Multiple Rack Cooking

Two-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 or 2 and 5.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

Temperature Management System

The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the

WARNING

“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for two minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.

IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, sh, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to

drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be

ordered. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for moreinformation.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the rst few times the oven isused or if the oven is heavily soiled.

RANGE CARE

Steam Clean

IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners or any other additives with

Steam Clean. The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom

cleaning and is not intended to clean heavy or difcult soils. Use the Steam Clean feature as soon as possible after spills occur. The longer a spill sits and dries in the oven, the more difcult it may be to remove.

Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 170°F (77°C), “HOT” will appear in the display and the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down.

■ Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.

■ For best results, pour 12 oz (355 mL) of distilled or ltered

water onto the oven bottom.

■ The Steam Clean feature will take a total of 50 minutes. “End”

will appear in the display at the end of the cycle.

IMPORTANT: Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.

Press the Cancel keypad at any time to end the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.

Helpful Hints

■ Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, remove all remaining

water and debris in the bottom of the oven with a sponge or cloth.

■ Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven

cavity interior sides, and cooktop.

■ Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.

This may help with more stubborn stains.

■ If any soil remains, run a second Steam Clean cycle to help

loosen debris for easier removal.

■ Use the Steam Clean on small spills such as cheese or sauce

from pizza or snacks, or drips from casseroles.

■ Food spills containing sugar, proteins, or starches may require

vigorous scrubbing to remove most of the debris.

■ It is recommended to use distilled or ltered water, as tap

water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.
