SAFETY INFORMATION
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range,
the range must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip bracket. See installation
instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and
engaged properly, look underneath the
range to see that the rear leveling leg is
engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel
can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible,
slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to
the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under
the anti-tip bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this
procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.
WARNING
Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.

Coil Cooktops
Each coil surface unit uses "SENSI-TEMP
TECHNOLOGY" to reduce the risk of cooktop oil and
grease fires. This feature is located in the center of each
surface unit. Power to the surface unit is temporarily
interrupted when a pot or pan exceeds expected cooking
temperatures. Even after the surface units are turned off,
the surface unit retains enough heat to continue cooking.
To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface
units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on
the surface unit until it has cooled completely.
Cookware for Coil Cooktops
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the coil cooktop.

Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from
getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off
for a time if:
■ thepanboilsdry.
■ thepanbottomisnotflat.
■ thepanisoff-center.
■ thereisnopanontheunit.
Radiant Glass Cooktop
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is
used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is
normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot
or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as
the glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your
selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface
even when the cooktop is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To
avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units
when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the
surface unit until it has cooled completely.

These are available from manufacturers such as Ball
®
and Kerr
®
and the Department of Agriculture Extension
Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water
bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time
required to bring the water to a boil.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge. You should
not be able to pass a US nickel coin
under the straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Do not place wet pans on
the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support
rings on the glass cooktop.
Use flat-bottomed woks
on the glass cooktop.

Recommended rack positions for various types of
foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For
example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditional
flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.
USING THE RANGE: Oven Racks / Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners / Cookware

Cookware
Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls
to prevent poor heat circulation.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
The number of rack positions may vary by model.

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking Modes
When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies,
and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe
recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines
are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower
element but also from the upper element to cook
food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
The oven must be closed during broiling. Monitor
food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling
on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the
broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the
possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center
food below the broil heating element. Broiling on rack
position 6 is not recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by
using Broil Lo.
Broil Hi
The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the
upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts
of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior.
To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then
press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using
this mode.
Broil Lo
The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat
from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while
also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker
cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked
all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil
pad twice and then press Start. It is not necessary to
preheat when using this mode.

Cleaning The Oven - Interior
CARE AND CLEANING: Cleaning The Oven - Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Self Clean.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and
should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild
soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning
surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.
Self Clean Mode (on some models)
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior. You will need to lock the oven door when using
this feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe
up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items from
theovenotherthanenameled(darkcolor)racks.Shinyor
silver racks and any cookware or other items should all be
removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle.
Close the door. Latch the door.
NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is too hot, you
will not be able to slide the latch. Allow the oven to cool.
If your range has a knob turn knob to self clean position
or if your range has an oven control press the Self Clean
pad and a default self-clean time is displayed. The clean
time can be changed to any time between 3:00 and 5:00
hours by using the +/- pads to enter a different time and
pressing Start. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum
5 hour clean time is recommended. If you wish to use
the default time, press the Start pad immediately after
pressing the Self Clean pad. The oven will turn off
automatically when the self-clean cycle is complete and
the self-clean light will be off. Slide the latch handle to the

mechanism. After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash
out of the oven.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the
gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand.
Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool
pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub
®
. Rinse well with
clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of
the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is
essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: 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.
To Stop a Self-Clean Cycle
Press Cancel/Off and wait for self clean light to go
off. Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking
temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to
open the door right away unless the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature.

My new oven doesn't
cook like my old one.
Is something wrong
with the temperature
settings?
Your new oven has a different cooking
system from your old oven and therefore
may cook differently than your old oven.
For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and
temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven
is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature
yourself to meet your specific cooking preference.
NOTE: This adjustment affects Bake temperatures; it
will not affect Broil or Clean.
