IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOK TOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place
a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit
off before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface u nit 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 element will also

improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units--To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillagedueto unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over

adjacent surface units.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings--

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or

a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--

Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating

elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan

on.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook
top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.

• Clean Cook Top with Caution--If a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam

burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if

equipped)--Stand to the side of the range when opening the
door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you

remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped

with coil elements. The oven vent is located belowthe backguard
for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the

surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe

burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is

hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan

and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.

Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock, or fire. Improper installation of these liners may result in

risk of electric shock, or fire.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FORCLEANINGYOUR

RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that

could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath
each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware

that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this

Owner's Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• 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.

• 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.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given

off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to
another well-ventilated room.

Surface Cooking for
Models with a Ceramic-

Glass Cook Top

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions
for Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning in I

the General Cleaning and Avoid
Service Checklist sections of this Use

and Care Gu de.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter
that allows the element to cycle on and

off, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the glasstop. Cycling
at the HI setting is normal and can
occur if the pan is too small for the
element or if the pan bottom is not flat.

Ceramic-Glass Cooktop

The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the surface
of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface

unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the
diameter of the unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop
to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and
size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the

units are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas
surrounding the surface units. The areas surrounding the units may become

hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the

kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with

rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods directly
on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to glass or
difficulty in cleaning will result.

Radiant Surface Units

The Radiant Surface Unit is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic fixture

below the glass cooktop. The unit temperature rises gradually and evenly. As
the temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the selected setting,
the unit will cycle on and off. The heating unit retains enough heat to provide
a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture
thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat in the heating zone.

For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes before cooking is
complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. The
amount of residual heat depends on the type and quality of cooking utensil,
the quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat setting.

Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)

The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within the
same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for operating the
different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be

used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The larger unit or

both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage and can be used to prepare

larger quantities of food in larger pans. When using the outer coil, both inner
and outer coils operate.

Indicator Light(s)

There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your range_a
surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator.

The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any surface

unit is turned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an easy check to

be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot cooktop surface indicator, located under the glass cooktop or on the

control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and will
continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired

setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be
set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the
control knob as needed. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of

heat at each setting. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the
bottom edge of the utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit.

3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing

the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking

is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The
hot cooktop surface light will continue to glow after the control knob is

turned to off and will glow until the element has cooled sufficiently.

To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Unit (If equipped)

Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size.e Indicates inner coil only.

_) Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either
coil setting at any time during cooking. Push in and turn the Control Knob in

off and burns may occur if the units are
touched at this time.

Do not place plastic

items such assalt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wooden spoons
could catch fire if placed too close to

the unit.

To Operate Simmer Select Surface Unit (If equipped)

The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select unit as
you would any normal surface unit on the medium to high settings.

The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select feature.
This feature allows the element to heat at a much lower temperature than
when used as a normal surface unit. This allows you to precisely simmer

delicate foods.

You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at anytime during
the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob indicator between MAX and MIN
for simmering or between MED and HI for normal cooking.

NOTE: The unit will not operate if the knob is positioned in the space between
MAX and MED.

The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in

medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings mayvary when using other

types of pans.

SPEED BAKE

Speed BakeT" Cooking System - (If equipped)

Speed Bake TM Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution

allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking

results when using two racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
Meats cooked with Speed Bake TM Cooking System are juicer. Poultry is crisp

on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry

brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster

and more evenly with Speed Bake TM Cooking System.

General Cooking Instructions:

1. To convert baking times for normal recipes to Speed Bake times, start with
a 30% reduction in time and increase the time until the desired doneness

is obtained. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type

of food.

,

Preheating is not necessary when cooking with Speed Bake, except with
items such as cakes, cookies, biscuits, breads, etc.

3.

When using two racks at
the same time, place in

positions 2 and 5 for the
best results.

,

When baking cakes with

Speed Bake, set

temperature 25F ° (13°C)
degrees lower than the

recommended setting for
best results.

To Set Speed Bake TM Cooking System:

1. Program the oven as you normally would for baking. Speed Bake may be

used with Bake, Time Bake and Delayed Time Bake modes.

2. Push and release Speed Bake switch. The indicator light will glow and the

fan will come on. The fan stays on when the oven door is closed and shuts
off while the oven door is opened. The fan will continue to operate until

baking is complete.

3. To cancel Speed baking function, push CANCEL on the oven control as you
would to cancel any baking function.

Self-Cleaning

During the self-cleaning

cycle, the outside of the range can

become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near

the appliance.

The health of some birds

isextremely sensitive to the fumes given

off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well-

ventilated room.

DO NOT line the oven

walls, racks, bottom or any other part
of the range with aluminum foil. Doing
so will destroy heat distribution,

produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior

surface of the oven).

[Ir_=_=_J_ DO NOT force the oven

door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after
the self-cleaning cycle is completed.

HAND

CLEAN FRAME

Self-Cleaning Oven

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking

temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered
ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue
after the self-clean cycle.

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any

part of the self-cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.

2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.
These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through
the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the

racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or

salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO

NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as
they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

Drawer (if equipped)

For general cleaning, use hot, soa py water and a cloth. For more difficult soils
and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on
soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use
abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove
control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the
shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob
and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the
control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using

hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth.

Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40

minutes. Rinse. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping

the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or

around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Cleaners made
especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic

American Corp., or similar products are recommended. Always follow the

manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may

occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after cleaning,

line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into
place.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with
a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots
with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean
water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse
and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may

become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on

the cooktop.

Oven Racks

Oven Door

Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for
cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following

manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue

and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven

has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into
the rack positions).

To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT

immerse the door in water.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven

material, on self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

General Cleaning -

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

DO NOT use a cooktop

cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes I
can be hazardous to your health, and I

can chemically damage the ceramic- I
glass surface. J

Before cleaning the

cooktop, be sure the controls are turned
to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic-glass
cooktop. If food spills, grease spatters and metal rub-off from aluminum
cookware are not removed, they may be burned onto the surface of the
cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

Daily Cleaning

For normal soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Wipe up spills and spatters using a clean paper towel. Always use a new,

clean paper towel when cleaning the ceramic-glass cooktop.

3. Rub a few drops of a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream

onto soiled area using a clean, clamp paper towel. Buff with a dry paper
towel until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a

protective coating of silicone which helps in preventing scratches and

abrasions. Clean surface with the cooktop cleaning cream after each use.

4. Rinse with another clean damp, paper towel. Buff dry with a dry paper

towel.

For heavy, burned-on soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Carefully scrape soil with a metal razor blade scraper. Hold razor blade

scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop.

3. Remove loosened soil with a clean paper towel.

4. Apply cooktop cleaning cream as described for normal soil.

5. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. After all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface with the cooktop cleaning cream.

For sugary spillovers:

Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must

begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when

following the steps below.

1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out
of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop.

3. Allow the cooktop to cool.

4. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.

DO NOT use the following on the ceramic-glass cooktop:

• Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads. They may scratch the
cooktop and make it more difficult to clean later.

• Sponges, cloths or dish towels. Lint or soil remaining on the cooktop from
a cloth or sponge can burn and cause discoloration.

• Anything that may melt (plastics, aluminum foil).

• Cleansers other than a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning
cream.

• Chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid, chemical oven cleaners or
any other kind of chemical cleaner. They may etch or discolor the cooktop.

Avoid Service Checklist

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense.
The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective

workmanship or materials in this appliance.

OCCURRENCE

Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for

service.

Surface element too hot or not hot

enough.

Surface element does not heat.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven
rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level.

Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support
range.

If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets

are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to

make appliance accessible.

Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted
over carpet.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface

element to be used.

Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware
materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-

weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may

burn easily.

No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not

Operate" in this Avoid Service Checklist.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface

element to be used.

Element not making contact in block. Follow instructions under "Surface
