. nge Safety

Your safety and the safety of others isvery important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your

appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word "DANGER" or '_VARNING." These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

The anti-tip bracket

The range will not tip during normal use. However, tipping can occur ifyou apply too much

force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket properly secured.

nge Safety

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: TOREDUCETHE

RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE,

THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED

BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-

TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE

DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROP-

ERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD,

LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET

SECURELY ATrACHED TO

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 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.

eDo 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.

• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum

foil to line oven bottoms, except as

suggested in the manual. Improper

installation of these liners may result in a

risk of electric shock, or fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 Cook on Broken Cooktop -

If cooktop 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 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.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop

Simmer Feature (some models)

The Simmer feature is an adjustable setting

which allows for more precise

simmering of foods. The switch,

when in the "OFF" position,

operates at normal wattage

(1800 W). When in the "ON" position, it

operates the right front element at a lower

wattage (450 W).

NOTE: All other elements can be used for

normal operation whether the Simmer

feature is in use or not.

Dual-size cooktop surface

element (some models)

Standard Dual element H()t surface

element (some models) indicator

Warm Zone Feature (some models)

Use the Warm Zone element to keep cooked

w,,.,,,,,,.,,, foods warm. It is not recom-

: _" mended for heating cold foods.

The Warm Zone is located in the

center of your cooktop. Set

switch to "ON" for use.

• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food

because it may melt onto the cooktop

surface. When warming baked goods,

allow a small opening in the cover for

moisture to escape.

• Use only cookware and dishes recom-

mended for oven and cooktop use.

• Use potholders or oven mitts to remove

food.

• The Warm Zone element will not glow red

when it is on, unlike the surface elements.

However, the surface indicator light on the

cooktop will glow.

• The Warm Zone element may be used

whether the other elements are in use or

not.

• The quality of the food may deteriorate if it

is kept on the Warm Zone element for an

extended period of time.

You can use the left front surface element

as either a small-diameter, lower-wattage

element or large-diameter, full-wattage

element.

Use both elements

for larger pans

Use small element-

To use both elements

for larger pans:

Push in and turn control knob to the right

(clockwise) to the desired setting in the area

marked "DUAL".

NOTE: You can turn the control knob in ei-

ther direction to reach "OFF'.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop

To use the small element for smaller pans:

Push in and turn control knob to the left

(counterclockwise) to the desired setting in

the area marked "SINGLE".

Using the ceramic glass cooktop

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is

almost the same as cooking on coil surface

units. There are, however, a few differences:

• The cooking surface area will glow red

when the element is turned on. You will

see the element cycling on and off - even

on the HI setting - to help the area stay at

the temperature setting you choose.

• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans

are clean and dry before cooking. Food

and water particles left on the bottoms can

leave deposits on the cooktop when it is

heated.

• Wiping off the cooktop before and after

each use will help keep the surface free

from stains and give you the most even

heating. See the "Cleaning tips" section.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

• Lift pots and pans onto and off of the

cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the

cooktop could leave marks that are difficult

to remove or could leave permanent marks.

• Do not cook popcorn that comes in pre-

packaged aluminum containers on the

cooktop. The container could leave alumi-

num marks on the cooktop that cannot be

removed completely.

• Do not us•the cooktop as a cutting board,

• Do not allow anything that could melt,

such as plastic or aluminum foil, to come

in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

• Dropping a heavy or hard object on the

cooktop could crack it. Be careful when us-

ing heavy skillets and large pots. Do

not store jars or cans above the cooktop.

• Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.

See the "Cleaning tips" section.

Cookware tips

• Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface cooking area. Cookware

should not extend more than 1 inch

(2.5 cm) outside the area.

• For best results and greater energy

efficiency, use only fiat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with

the surface cooking area. Cookware with

rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some

porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms

could cause uneven heating and poor

cooking results.

• Cookware designed with slightlyindented

bottomsor small expansion channels can

be used.

• Cookware with non-stick finish has

heating characteristics of the base material.

-,Check for rough spots on the bottom of

metal or glass cookware which will scratch

the ceramic glass surface.

• Use flat bottom cookware for best heat

conduction from the surface cooking area

to the cookware. Determine flatness with

the ruler test. Place the edge of a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware. Hold it

up to the light. No light should be visible

under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all

directions and look for any light.

• Do not leave empty cookware, or

cookware that has boiled dry, on a hot

surface cooking area. The cookware

could overheat, causing damage to the

cookware or the surface cooking area.

Home canning information

ce.wow _ Pan

Surface

unit

• Use the entire surface ("DUAL" setting) of

the leftfront surface cooking area for best o

results.

• Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of

cooktops, especially ceramic glass.

Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do

not allow good contact with the surface.

• Center the canner over the largest surface .

cooking area. Do not extend more than 1 inch

(2.5 cm) outside the surface cooking area.

Large diameter canners/pans, if not centered

correctly, will trap heat and result in damage

to the cooktop. Do not place on two surface

cooking areas at the same time.

• The type of material the canner is made of

determines the length of heating time. Refer

to the "Characteristics of cookware materials"

chart in this section for more information.

• When canning for long periods of time, allow

elementsand the surrounding surfaces to

cool down.

• Alternate use of the surface cooking areas

between batches or prepare small batches

at a time.

• Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and

bring to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain

a boil or required pressure levels in a

pressure canner.

• For up-to-date information on canning, In

the United States, contact your local U.S.

Extension Office or companies who

manufacture home canning products. In

Canada, contact Agriculture Canada.

Caring for your cooktop

This cooktop is designed for easy care.

However, ceramic glass cooktops need

to be maintained differently than standard

electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly

on the cooktop will not bum off as on coil

elements. Because of this, the surface

should be dust-free and soil-free before

heating.

Your cooktop has been prepolished at

the factory for improved protection and

cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme,

a paper towel or a sponge is all you need to

clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning

methods, please review the "How to keep

your cooktop looking like new" chart. Follow

this chart after each use to ensure top

performance and to preserve that uniquely

elegant look.

NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

fusing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Oven settings

This chart tells you when to use each setting. It also explains what elements heat up for each

setting.

SETTING DIAGRAM SETTING INFORMATION

BAKE

Use this setting for baking

and heating casseroles.

BROIL (MAXI/ECONO)

Use this setting for broiling

regular-sized and smaller

cuts of meat, poultry, and

fish.

• The bottom element and outer top

element heat up.

• During baking, the elements will

turn on and off to maintain the

oven temperature.

• Both top elements heat during

Maxi Broil (maximum browning

coverage).

• Only the inner element heats up

during Econo Broil (browning

coverage in center only).

CONVECTION BAKE

Use this setting for foods

which require gentle

heating and for baking

breads and cakes. Use

also when baking large

quantities of food on more

than one oven rack.

• For faster preheating, the bottom

element and outer top element

Cooking tips

Baking tips

The hot air must circulate around the pans in

the oven for even heat to reach all parts of

the oven. This results in better baking.

For best air circulation:

• Place the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

1 'I,'-2+' 1'I."-2"

• For best results, allow 11,,_to 2 inches

(3.7 to 5 cm) of space around each pan

and between pans and oven walls.

• When baking with one pan, place pan in

the center of the oven rack.

• When baking with two pans, place pans

in opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTE: "Oven peeking" may cause heat

loss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfac-

tory baking or roasting results. Rely on

your timer.

Rack positions

Your oven has three straight racks and five

rack positions. Rack position 5 is the highest

position, or farthest from the bottom of the

oven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position,

or closest to the bottom of the oven.

For proper cooking, follow these

guidelines:

• When using one rack, place the rack so

the top of the food will be centered in the

oven.

• When using two racks, place one rack in

position 1 and the other rack in position 3.

• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at

a time when using the BAKE setting.

Bakeware tips

• When baking with insulated cookie

sheets or baking pans, place them in the

bottom third of the oven. You may need to

increase the recommended baking times,

so test for doneness before removing from

the oven.

• When using ovenproof glassware or

dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-

ture by 25°F (14°C), but use the same

baking time. Because these pans absorb

heat, producing darker bottom browning

and crispier crusts, place the rack in the

center of the oven. When baking pies and

bread, you can use the temperature

suggested in the recipe.

Rack placement for specific

foods:

For rack positions, see "Rack positions" in

)revious column.)

Using and Caring for Your Oven

Using aluminum foil

• Do not line the oven bottom with any

type of foil, liners, or eookware.

Permanent damage will occur to the

oven bottom finish.

• Do not block the oven bottom vents.

• Do not cover the entire rack with

aluminum foil. Doing so will reduce air

circulation and overall oven performance.

• When baking on two or three racks, use

the convection bake setting for more even

results. (You can, however, use only one

rack when convection baking.)

• To catch splllovers from pies or

casseroles place foil on the oven rack

below. Foil should be turned up at edges

and be at least 1 inch larger than dish.

• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat

or poultry to slow down surface browning

for long term roasting. Remove foil for the

last 30 minutes.

• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust

edges ifbrowning too quickly.

Convection baking tips

• Do not use aluminum foil when convection

baking, Aluminum foil may block airflow,

• Reduce recommended recipe oven

temperature by approximately 25°F (14°C).

See recipe adaption chart in your convec-

tion oven cookbook for recommended

temperatures.

• For moat recipes, you can reduce con-

vection baking time compared to standard

baking times. See convection baking chart

in your convection oven cookbook for

recommended baking times.

NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when

you use more than one rack.

• To use three racks during convection

baking, place racks inposition 5 (the

highest position), 3 and 1 (the closest to

the oven bottom). This allows all three

racks to be an equal distance apart for

better baking.

• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in

opposite directions on each rack when

three racks are used.

Roasting tips

• Roast meats fat-side up in a shallow pan

using a roasting rack.

• Use a roasting pan that fits the size of

the food to be roasted. Meat juices may

overflow the sides of a pan that is too

small. Too large of a pan will result in

increased oven spatter.

• Spatter can be reduced by lining the

bottom of the roasting pan with lightly

crushed aluminum foil.

* Use an accurate meat thermometer or

temperature probe (see the "Using the

temperature probe" section) to determine

when meat has reached desired degree of

doneness. Insert the thermometer or probe

into the center of the thickest portion of the

meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For

an accurate reading, the tip of the

thermometer or probe should not touch tat,

bone, or gristle.

Using and Caring for YourOven

• After reading the thermometer once,

push it further into the meat 1/2inch

(1.3 cm) or more and read again. If the

temperature drops, return the meat to the

oven for more cooking.

• Check pork and poultry with a

thermometer in 2-3 places to ensure

adequate doneness.

• Poultry and roasts will be easier to

carve if loosely covered with foil and

allowed to stand 10-15 minutes after

removal from the oven.

• You can reduce roasting times and

temperatures for most standard recipes .

when using the convection roast setting.

See convection roasting chart in your

convection oven cookbook for

recommended roasting times and

temperatures.

• Use the convection roasting rack on the

broiler pan (both included with your range).

(The convection roasting rack rests on the

broiler pan, not inside it.) The long side of

the rack should be parallel with the oven

door for best heat distribution and airflow.

NOTE: Place the convection roasting rack

on the broiler pan with grid to contain the

drippings as the meat roasts.

Bake or Convection Bake

1. Position racks.

For correct rack placement, see the

"Rack positions" section and the "Rack

placement" chart.

NOTES:

• Before turning on the oven always

place oven racks where you need

them.

• Be sure rack(s) is level.

• Use pot holders or oven mitts to

protect hands if rack(s) must be

moved while oven is hot.

• Do not let pot holder or oven mitt

touch hot elements.

Broiling guidelines

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided.

They are designed to drain extra juices

from the cooking surface. This drainage

helps prevent spatter and smoke.

• To make sure the juices drain well, do not

cover the grid with foil.

• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit

the fat on the edges to prevent curling.

• Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing

juices.

• Pull out oven rack to stop position before

turning or removing food.

• After broiling, remove the pan from the

oven when removing the food. Dripping will

bake on the pan if left in the heated oven,

making cleaning more difficult.

Broiling rack positions

Convection Broil

Convection broiling is actually

high-temperature convection roasting,

combining fan-circulated hot air with the

direct heat of the broiler element. Use this

setting when broiling thick cuts of meat.

Results are similar to those you get when

using a rotisserie.

1. Position rack.

See "Broiling chart" later in this section

for recommended rack positions.

2. Put food in oven.

Place food on grid in broiler pan and

Using EASY CONVECT TM Conversion

EASY CONVECT" Conversion lets you con-

vection cook without entering convection

cook temperatures and times. Simply enter

the standard cook temperature and time for

the food to be cooked. The oven will reduce

the temperature, or the temperature and

time, for convection cooking. (Convection

temperatures and times are not as long

because the heated air is circulated in the

oven cavity for quicker cooking.)

NOTE: The converted temperatures and

times are not precise because the food

categories you choose from are general.

(See "EASY CONVECT" Conversion setting

chart" later in this section for which foods

you can cook in each category.) To ensure

proper cooking, the oven will prompt you to

check food at the end of cook time. If food

needs more cooking, the oven will continue

to cook. If food does not need more cooking,

press CANCEL/OFF.

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.

(Using the Self-CleaningCycle

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.

Failure to follow th_se instructions can result in burns,

or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,

make sure you:

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend

the gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and

roasting may result.

• Hand-clean the areas shown. They

do not get hot enough during the Self-

Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away.

Use hot water and detergent or a soapy,

steel-wool pad for cleaning.

• Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots

on door and frame.

• Remove the broiler pan and grid and

anything else being stored in the oven.

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This

will help reduce smoke during the

Self-Cleaning cycle.

• Wipe up food spills containing sugar

and/or milk as soon as possible after the

oven cools down. When sugar is heated to

a high temperature in the Self-Cleaning

cycle, the high temperature can cause the

sugar to burn and react with the porcelain.

This can cause staining, etching, pitting, or

faint white spots.

• Remove the oven racks from the oven if

you want them to remain shiny. You can

clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but

they will discolor and become harder to

slide. If you clean racks in the Self-Cleaning

cycle, place them on the rack guides.

• Heat and odors are normal during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen

well-ventilated by opening a window or

by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen

vent during the cycle.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is

extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Move birds

to another closed and well ventilated room.

NOTES:

• Keep the kitchen well ventilated during

the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of

heat, odors and smoke.

• Clean the oven before itgets heavily soiled.

Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer

and resultsin more smoke than usual.

• Do not block the oven vent during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely

for best cleaning results,

• Do not leave plastic utensils on the

cooktop. They may melt.

• Remove any combustible items, such as

paper napkins, from the storage drawer.

This includes utensils with plastic handles

that can become overheated and melt.

• Do not leave any foil in oven during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or

melt and damage the oven surface.

• The oven light will not work during the

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

• The cooktop rear elements will not work

during the Self-Cleaning cycle on

Canadian models.

• Heating and cooling of porcelain on steel

may result in discoloring, loss of gloss,

hairline cracks and popping sounds.

Before seffing the confrols

• Make sure clock is set to correct

time of day.

• Make sure the oven door is

completely closed.

For best cleaning results

• After the oven cools to room tempera-

ture, wipe up any residue or ash with a

damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain,

clean with a mild abrasive cleanser or

cleaning sponge.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavily

soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven

takes longer and results in more smoke

than usual.

("DOOR LOCKED" will appear

if oven has not cooled down)

• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get

the oven as clean as you expected, the

cycle may not have been set long enough

or you may not have prepared the oven

properly, Set the Self-Cleaning cycle

longer the next time and hand-clean areas

noted in "Before you start" earlier in this

section.

How the cycle works

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat

to burn away soil and grease. During the

cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does

for normal baking or broiling. This high heat

breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.

Your oven is preset for a 31/2-hour Self-

Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the

cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven.

You can set the cycle anywhere between

21/2and 41/2 hours. (See "Setting the con-

trols" earlier in this section.)

The graph at the right is representative of

a normal, 31/2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note

that the heating stops after 3 hours, but it

takes longer for the oven to cool enough to

unlock.
