Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Notice
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
• Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or
lower oven door — 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 below the backguard. 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 interior 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place
a pan of food on the surface element unit before turning
it on, and turn the element o before removing the pan.
• Use proper pan size — This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of dierent 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 eciency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not 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.
• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat
settings — Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• 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 aming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan
on.
Important Safety Instructions

COIL COOK TOP MODELS
Protective liners — Do not use aluminum foil
to line surface unit drip bowls, or reector pans. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock,
or re.
• Make sure reector pans or drip bowls are in place —
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
• Carefully check the reector pans, drip bowls, and coils
for packaging material. Remove all packaging material
before using the cooktop.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If an element
is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
• Do not allow grease to accumulate around surface burners
and drip bowls.
• Do not immerse or soak removable heating elements—
Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
Heating elements clean themselves during normal
operation.

Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread
and casseroles 1 or 2
Small cuts of meat or poultry 1 or 2
Turkey, roast or ham 1
Types of oven racks
The at oven rack or at handle oven rack (on some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The oset oven rack (on some models) will place the base
of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than a at
oven rack. This feature provides several additional possible
oven rack positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
Fig. 2
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can
cause burns
8
About the surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red.
For ecient cooking, turn OFF the surface element just
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Before Setting Surface Controls
Using proper cookware
The size and type of
cookware used will
inuence the surface
element power level
setting needed for
best cooking results.
Be sure to follow the
recommendations for
using proper cookware as
illustrated in both Figs. 1
& 2.
Fig. 1
Check for atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom
of the cookware (See Fig. 1). Cookware should have at
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
heating element (See Fig. 2).
Element On indicator lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator lights are marked on the
control panel and will glow when a surface cooking element
is turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights after
cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are
turned OFF.
Surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned o. The surface
element may still be hot and burns may occur if the surface
element is touched before it has cooled suciently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt 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 re
if placed too close to the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls, or reector pans. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or re.
Do not place aluminum foil or ANY material that could
melt on the surface elements.
Make sure reector pans or drip bowls are in place —
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight tting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size of
the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to surface
element size.
Fig. 2
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than
surface element on
cooktop by more than one-
half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than the
surface element on
cooktop.
9
Before Setting Surface Controls
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.
Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as
well as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
• Use only quality at bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely at bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a ceramic cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric
coil and ceramic glass cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when rst bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 dierent
surface cooking areas at the same time. This will cause
uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic
cooktop to fracture.
10
Setting Surface Controls
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type
of food being cooked will inuence the surface element
power level setting needed for best cooking results.
The suggested settings found in Fig. 1 below are based
when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Surface element settings

Setting Oven Controls
Adjusting oven temperature
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested
to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the rst
few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature
recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking
too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust
the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the
temperature displayed.
To adjust oven temperature:
1. Press & hold the Bake key pad and release after the
display shows the factory temperature setting of 00. If
the oven temperature has been previously adjusted from
the factory setting, the latest adjusted value will appear
in the display instead.
2. You may increase the oven temperature in 5°F
increments with each press of the
key pad. You
may also adjust the oven temperature downward in 5°F
increments with each press of the
key pad (total
adjustment range is +35°F to -35° F).
3. To accept the change, wait until the oven control
provides the acceptance beep (See Notes).
4. The oven temperature adjustment has been accepted
by the oven control and the display will return to the
time of day.
Important notes:
• If at any time during the process of adjusting the oven
temperature feature you decide not to make the change,
press the
key pad once before the acceptance beep
tone.
• The oven temperature adjustment feature can not be
modied if Bake or Broil is active.
• The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your
oven control has been set for °C (Celsius) temperature
display mode. In this case each press of the
or
key pad will adjust in 1°C increments upward
(maximum +18°C) or downward (maximum -18°C),
depending on which arrow key pad is pressed.
• DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in
grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside
your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much
as 20 to 40°F from actual temperatures.
The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the
oven door is opened.
Press the rocker switch marked OVEN LIGHT on the control
panel to turn the oven light ON and OFF whenever the oven
door is closed.

Cleaning recommendation table
Stainless Steel (on some models) Only use cleaners and polishes that are specically manufactured for cleaning
stainless steel. Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use
cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrub-
bing cleaners. Polish with a lint-free cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess cleaner/
polish o from the metal surface as bluish stains may occur during future oven heat-
ing that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dish-
cloth. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF and if needed remove any
knobs from panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can
scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess
water from dishcloth before wiping control panel; especially when wiping around
the controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the
appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze
excess water from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not
immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter
the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive
cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
Gentle scubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove most spots. Rinse
with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover dicult 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-lled no-scratch cleaning pad. Rinse and
wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content
(milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to remain on the surface; they
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
The oven interior is porcelain coated and safe to clean with oven cleaners following
manufacturer’s instructions. After cleaning, remove any oven cleaner or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. Do not spray oven cleaner on any
electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven cleaner to build up on
oven temperature sensing bulb. Do not spray cleaner on oven door trim, door gasket,
plastic drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range. Clean any soils
from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. Clean with hot, soapy
water. Rinse using clean water and a cloth. For additional cleaning information see
“General cleaning” in the Care & Cleaning section.
Surface elements and drip bowls
Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Surface elements and drip
bowls” in the Care & Cleaning section.

Care & Cleaning
Follow these cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance
manually.
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to remain
on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as
possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the eort required for
major cleaning later.
Adhere to the following precautions when using spray
oven cleaners:
• DO NOT spray cleaner on the electrical controls or
switches because it could cause a short circuit and
result in sparking or re.
• DO NOT allow a lm from the cleaner to build up on
the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven
to heat improperly. The bulb is located in the rear of
the oven. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven
cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change
in its position could aect how the oven bakes. Avoid
bending the bulb and capillary tube.
• DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or
gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior
surfaces of the range, plastic or painted surfaces. The
cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Cleaning porcelain enamel oven:
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean
using oven cleaners.
To remove heavy soil:
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight
or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean
softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well
with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a
nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner
following manufacturer’s instructions. DO NOT mix
ammonia with other cleaners.
3. 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. Clean with hot, soapy
water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
General cleaning
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL.
The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Please note:
On some models the lower oven bake element is visible. The
following cleaning instruction applies ONLY for models that
have a visible lower bake element.
On models equipped
with a visible lower bake
element only; element
may be raised 4-5
inches to clean oven
bottom.
Oven elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned o. The oven bake and broil
elements may still be hot and burns may occur if touched
before they have cooled suciently.
The lower bake element may be tilted from the front for
better access to the oven bottom for cleaning purposes. Be
careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches
from the resting position.

Care & Cleaning
Surface elements and drip bowls
Surface elements may 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 o. Food spilled on a COOL element may
be cleaned with a damp cloth — any remaining soil will
burn o the next time the element is used.
Important notes:
• Be sure the range is cool before removing surface
elements or drip bowls.
• Never immerse a surface element in water.
• Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of these
bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
• Be careful not to bend terminal ends when replacing
surface elements after cleaning.

a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia
and water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water).
A no-scratch scrubbing pad may be used after soaking. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, they will scratch
the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft cloth.
To replace drip bowls and surface elements:
1. Slide the terminal end on the surface element through
the opening in the drip bowl (Refer to Fig. 1).
2. Align the surface element support to rest on the rim
inside the drip bowl.
3. After the surface element is positioned in the drip bowl,
line up the terminal end with the terminal plug as shown
(Fig. 1).
4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as
level as possible and 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 cookware sliding
o the element.

Oven light does not work.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for
service.
• Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to
make appliance accessible.
• Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sucient space so appliance can
be lifted over carpet.
Appliance is not level.
• Be sure oor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.
• If oor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven
rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure
cabinets are square & have sucient room for appliance clearance.
• Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. Also see Replacing oven light in
the Care & Cleaning section.
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. Possible solutions to these problems are
provided with the problem listed:
Entire appliance does not operate.
• Make sure power cord is plugged properly into outlet.
• Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local
electric company for service outage information.
• Service wiring is not complete. Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® for assistance (See
back cover).
• The time of day is not set. The time of day must rst be set in order to
operate the oven. See Setting clock in Setting Oven Controls section.
• Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See
Setting Oven Controls section and review instructions for the desired cooking
function in this manual or see “Entire appliance does not operate” in this
checklist.
Problem
Solution
Poor baking results.
• Many factors aect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position
is used. Center food in the oven and 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 oven temperature in
Setting Oven Controls section.
Oven portion of appliance does not
operate.
• Be sure the correct surface control knob is turned ON for element needed.
Surface element is too hot or not hot
enough.
• Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.
Surface element does not heat or does
not heat evenly.
• 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 aect heating. Heavy & medium-weight
pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn
easily.
21
Before You Call • Solutions to common problems
Oven smokes excessively when broiling.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven
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 Broil in Setting Oven Controls section.
Oven control panel beeps & displays
any F code error.
• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press
key pad to

remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower appliance
and set clock with the correct time of day. Try Bake or Broil function again. If
the fault recurs, press
to clear and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® for assis-
tance (See back cover).
Problem
Solution
• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls
section.
• Be sure oven door is opened to broil stop position when broiling.
• 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.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Drip bowls are turning color or distorted.
• Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface element 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.
Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.
• Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause
corrosion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spill over.
• Normal environment. Along coastal areas, houses are exposed to high salt
content in air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to air
with high salt content.
