and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
—This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils
having at 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 element will also improve efciency.
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements—To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spillage
due to 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.
Heat Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.
—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.

cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. DO NOT use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use
kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners
form the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Cleaning Recommendations for Coil Element
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning
the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves when
they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food
spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth—any
remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used.
Removing the Surface Elements & Drip Bowls
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end.
the surface element & drip bowl together just enough to
clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull
the terminal end out from the terminal plug. If equipped, DO
NOT remove the hold down clip from the drip bowl.
Cleaning the Drip Bowls
Wash in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse & dry while
still warm. Hard to remove or burned on soil can be removed by
soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid
cleanser or a solution of ammonia & water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1
gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will scratch the
surface. Always rinse with clean water & polish dry with a soft cloth.
Replacing Drip Bowls & Surface Elements
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in
the drip bowl.
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl.
If your drip bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the
element support opposite the terminal end with the slot in the
hold down clip & snap into place.
3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the
terminal end with the terminal plug as shown.
4. Hold the surface element & drip bowl together as level as possible
& rmly push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure
element terminal is seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure
the surface element is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding
off the element.

Solutions to common problems •
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences (shown in bold)
that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these problems are provided with the
problem listed:
Problem Solution
Range is not level (1) 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. (2) Be sure oor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range. (3)
If oor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufcient room for range clearance.
Cannot move appliance
easily. Appliance must
be accessible for service
(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufcient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Surface element too
hot or not hot enough
Incorrect control setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element to be used.
Surface element does
not heat
(1) Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only at, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans
heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy & medium-weight
pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily. (2) No power to the appliance.
Check steps under “Entire Appliance Does Not Operate” in this checklist. (3) Incorrect control setting. Make
sure the correct control is ON for the surface element to be used.
Entire appliance does
not operate
(1) The time of day is not set. The time of day must rst be set in order to operate the oven. See “To Set the Clock”
in the Setting Oven Controls section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet. (3) Service wiring is
not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized service agent. (4) Electrical power outage. Check
house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.
Oven does not operate Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in this Use &
Care Manual or read the instructions “Entire appliance does not operate” in this checklist.
Oven light does not

Replace or tighten bulb. See section in this Use & Care Manual.
excessively during
broiling
(1) Control(s) not set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven Controls. (2) Make sure oven door is
opened to broil stop position. (3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper
clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not properly prepared.
Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on
broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to
allow grease to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary
when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Flames inside oven or
vent
Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the
oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If ames or excessive smoke are present see
“Broiling” in the Setting Oven Controls section.
Oven control beeps &
displays any F code
error (for example
F11)
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the
Bake or Broil function again. If the F code error repeats, remove power suppy to appliance, wait 5 minutes and
then repower the appliance and set clock time of day. Try the Bake or Broil function again. If the fault recurs,
record fault number, press & contact an authorized service agent.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven &
space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the
oven. Try adjusting the recipe’s recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or
cool, see Adjusting Your Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.
Drip bowls are pitting
or rusting
(1) Foods with acids, such as tomatoes if allowed to stand in or on drip bowls will cause corrosion. Remove &
wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover. (2) Normal environment. Houses along coastal areas are
exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Drip bowls turning
color or distorted
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop surface. This can cause
high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be
matched to the size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your appliance dealer.
