SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instrJctions before using this appliance. When using enectNca!
appliances, basic safety precautions should be foUowed_ including _he following:
Teach children not to play with range
knobs or any other part of the range.
Never leave children alone or unat-
tended where a range is in use.
CAUTItON:
Never store things children might
want above a range.
Never let anyone climb, sit or stand
on the open door or any other part of
the range. Their weight may make
the range tip over.
Never leave theoven door open when
you are not watching the range.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental tipping of the
range from abnormal usage, includ-
ing excess loading of the oven door,
attach it to the wall or floor by install-
ing the anti-tip bracket supplied. If
the range is moved for cleaning, ser-
vicing or any reason, be sure anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when
the range is replaced. Failure to take
this precaution could result in tipping
of the range and cause injury.

Altways keep the range area clear
and free from things that will burn.
CAUTIION:
Hever store things in an oven
or near cooktop elements/
burners. These things may catch
fire and plastic items could melt.
Never use your range for warming
or heating a room. You could be
burned or seriously Injured. Such
misuse could also cause damage to
the range.
Never wear loose clothing when
using your range. Such clothing
could catch fire.
Never use a towel or other bulky cloth
as a potholder. Such cloths could
catch fire on a hot element/burner.
Never let pot handles stick out
over the front of the range. Turn
handles in so that they cannot be
bumped into. Keep the handles
away from other hot surface ele*
merits/burners,
Never leave cooktop elements/
burners unwatched at high heat
settings. Bollovers cause smok-
ing and greasy spillovers could
catch fire.
2 NESAF09-2
Keep this book for later use.
Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly
by a qualified technician.
Aaways use care when touching surface elements,
oven heating elements or inside the oven. Heating
elements could be hot enough to burn you even if they
are dark in color. The oven vent duct and oven door may
also become hot during oven use.
A_er hroiming, always take the broiler pan out of the
oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can
catch on fire next time you use the pan.
Allways use dry potholders when removing pans from
the oven. Moist or damp potholders can cause steam
burns.
A_ways use care when opening oven door. Let hot air
and steam out before moving food.
AIIways follow cleaning instructions in this book_
Agways keep the range clean. Food and grease are
easy to ignite. Clean the oven regularly.
Always keep combustible wall coverlngs, curtains or
drapes a safe distance away from your range. Never
store such items in or on your range.
AHways keep wooden, plastic utensils, or canned food
a safe distance away from your range.
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from
things that will burn, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Always remove the broiler pan and other utensils from
the oven before a self-clean cycle.

NeveruSe aluminum foil tel!he oven bottoms. Improper
use of foil could start a fire.
Never block free airflow through the oven vent.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool.
If racks must be handled when hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.
Choose pots and pans with flat bottoms, large enough
to cover the entire cooktop element. This will cut down
the risk of setting potholders or clothing on fire with an
uncovered element and waste less energy,
Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used
for cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will
not break when heated on the cooktop elements.
Never try to clean utensils, cookware or removable
parts of your range In the oven during a self-clean cycle.
Never rub, move, or damage the door gasket on self-
cleaning oven. The gasket is essential for a good seal.
Only clean the gasket by soaking it with hydrogen
peroxide, as described in the self-clean section of this
manual.
Illthe self.cllean_r=g mode maifunctier=s, turn off and
disconnect the power supply. Have serviced by a
qualified technician.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the range
unless instructions are given in this book. All other
work should be done by a skilled technician.
Do Not Use Over= C0ear=ers -- No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Never put removable heating elements in water. Do not
put them in a dishwasher. Do not put them in the self.
clean cycle of your oven.
Never clean cooktop surface when it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet cloths could
cause steam bums if used on a hot surface.

Before using the solid disk elements for
the first time, you must cure them to
harden the protective coating for long
life. If the elements are not cured prop-
erly, the coating can stick to your pan
and remove some of the finish on the
element. See instructions below.
To properly cure the solid elements, heat each element
at the highest setting, without a pan on the element.
There will be some non-toxic smoke and odor and the
rings around the elements will change to a gold color.
All this is normal. Heat the elements for 3 to 5 minutes
-- until the smoking stops.
Solid disk elements are made from a flat heavy casting
of the same type of material as cast iron skillets. Cast
iron reaches temperature gradually and evenly and
holds the heat very well.
Cast iron must be kept dry to prevent rust. it is normal
for cast iron to lose its luster as it ages. See the Cleaning
Tips in this manual for information on cleaning and
restoring appearance of solid disk elements.
Do not use decorative element covers on solid disk
elements. These covers can trap moisture and promote
rusting.
The red dot in the center of some of the elements is for
factory identification only. It can be removed by scour-
ing.
Some cooking processes will differ from those you may
be used to with coil elements. Cooking times for some
foods may change because solid disk elements will take
longer to heat up and cool down. Heat-up and cool-
down times will depend on initial temperature setting,
quality of utensil and amount of food being cooked.
Cooking performance is d_recUy rebated to the
use of proper pans=
In order to obtain top performance from your solid disk
elements your cookware must be fiat on the bottom and
be of a heavy gauge material. Use a tight-fitting lid
whenever possible. An out-of-shape pan without a lid
cannot possibly cook with the same speed and even-
ness as a pan with a flat bottom and a tight fitting lid.
Heat cannot transfer properly from the element to the
pan if the pan bottom is only near the element. The pan
and element should actually touch each other across
the entire pan bottom.
NEMTC33
Many pans have a slight depression in the center of the
pan bottom. Some cookware has circular ridges in the
pan bottom_ Many older pans have become warped
from overheating in the past. None of these pans will
give top performance on any type of electric cooking
element because they do not make contact with the
element across the entire pan bottom.
COOKWA E T P$
o Pans must have flat bottoms and should have straight
sides and lightweight handles that do not tiit the pans.
• Pans must cover the entire element to absorb the full
heat output. They should be the same size or slightly
larger (not more than 1" overhang) than the element.
, Use tight fitting lids to shorten cooking time and allow
food to cook in a minimum amount of liquid.
, Be sure that specialty pans such as woks, lobster
pots, pressure cookers, French fryers, griddles, etc,,
meet the same standards as other pans: flat bottom,
balanced, correct size and covered, if applicable. Use
only fiat bottomed woks on solid disk elements°
• Use canners that do not extend more than 1 inch
beyond the solid disk element. Be sure the canner
has a flat bottom. When canners do not meet these
standards the use of the high heat setting may become
excessive and may result in damage to the cooktop.
• Thaw frozen foods before cooking, if possible.
• Place pans on theelements before controls are turned
on to conserve energy,

The elements have a built-in temperature protection
device which protects the element and your pan from
excessive (damaging) heat. If the element Is left turned
on without a pan, or i_a pan boils dry, the excess heat
buildup will be detected and power will be reduced to the
element. If your pans do not have a flat bottom and there
is space between the element and some parts of the pan
bottom, th_s limiter may detect e_cessive temperatures
and automatically turn th(_element down.

COOKING CHART
The following chart is merely a guide to the suitable
control settings. Consider raising the setting for larger
quantities, uneven pan bottoms or uncovered pans, and
for pan materials that are slow to conduct heat (such as
cast iron)° Lower the setting for smaller quantities and
pan materials that heat quickly (such as aluminum)°
The element supplies heat at a constant power at each
setting, it heats whether the food needs more heat or
not. With the element the power is always on, unless the
control is turned off. After you start at a higher setting
to bring the food up to cooking temperature, turn the
control down to the lowest setting that will keep the food
cooking.
NOTE: See the illustration of the element control knob on the previous page.

When cooking a food for the first time In your new
oven, use time gBven on recipes as a guide.
Veur new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it
replaced.
After you have used your oven for awhile, If you feel
your oven shound be hoUer or cooler, you can adjust
it yourself. See TH_ER_OSTAT ADJUSTMEMTS
In this manual.
T Always follow recipe carefully.
• Measure ingredients properly.
e
a
Use proper pan placement.
Place pans on the oven racks with 1"to I 112"of air
space on al sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the
oven bottom block the free movement of air. im-
proper air movement causes uneven browntng and
cooking.
Do not lo©k the even lo©_unlock handle while
ba_dng or broiling, The oven lock/unlock handle
ts used for self-clean only.
Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should
be baked In shiny pans -- to reflect the heat --
because they should have a light golden crust.
Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked In
glass or dull (non-shiny) pans--to absorb the heat
m because they should have a brown, crisp crust.
Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny, too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.
2 cake layers
4 cake layers
When baking several items stagger pans so that no
pan is directly above another.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked productso Listen for preheat notiftcatlon tone
and put the food in the oven.
Opening the door too oten to check food during
baking will allow heat loss and may cause poor
baking results°
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures if e_erlor of pan
is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof
glass.
There may be some odorwhen the oven Is first used.
This is caused by the heating of new parts and
Insulation.
Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foi
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foil directly above the bake
element. Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface; therefore, it
should not be used,
Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate properly.
When recipes require preheating, have feed nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature will be lost.

Most foods can be broiled at the H! Broil Setting. Select
the LO Broil setting to avoid excesslve browning or
drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done
stage (such as thick pork chops or poultry).
BROgLUNG T P$
• Your oven door shouRd be open to the broia
stop position whi_e broODing. Jf the door is
cllosed, the food w_H roast and not broil
, Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
. Do not preheat when bro_l;ingo For even broiling
on both sides, start the food on a cold pan.
, Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops. Slit
the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
, For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second slde just before
serving.
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several Umes as
they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It is
not necessary to turn fish.
. Never leave a soiled b_'oiller pan in the range,
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven ls used.
Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting
out a grease fire. See the section on safety.

PO$11TIONING BROItLER PAN
Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the broil element.
Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat should be se-
lected for broiling. For best results steaks and chops
should be at least 314" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on an
oven rack In the proper position. The recommended
rack position and cooking time can be found In the chart
below.
The closer the food Isto the broil element, the faster the
meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink In the
center. Moving the meat farther away from the element
lets the meat cook to the center while browning outslde.
Side one should be cooked 1 - 2 minutes longer than
side two°

CYCLE
BEFORE A C L AN
1. Removethe broil pan and grid, oven racks, aUutensils
and any foil that may be in the oven. Do not try to
clean utensils or any other objects in the oven during
a self.clean cycle. It_oven racks are le_ in the
range dlu_'_ng a cBean oycne, they win! darken_
nose their Ruster and become hard to sNde. If
you choose to leave the racks In the oven, you can
polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and
apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rack
edges after the self.clean cycle. This will make the
racks easier to slide.
2. Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of
the cooktop, the door liner outside the door seal and
the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1" into the
oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see
illustration below). Clean these areas by hand before
starting a c0ean cycle.
Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well.
No matter how stubborn the stain, never use harsh
abrasive cneaners. They could permanently damage
the enamel surface° We recommend a cleanser such
as 'So_t Scrub®" brand or a similar cleaning product
to keep white surfaces looking clean and new. After
cleaning, rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture.
This will help prevent a brown residue from forming
when the oven is heated. Buff these areas dry with a
dry cloth.
FRONT FRAME
so,. Frequent cleaning will help prevent excessive
soil buildup. Do not rub the doorseal. The fiberglass
material of the seal has an e×tremely low resL_tance
to abrasion° An intact and well fitting oven door seal
is essential for energy efficient oven operation and
good baking results. If you notice the seal becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has
become displaced on the door, you should replace
the seal.
AFTER A ©YCLE
After a clean cycle, you may notice some whl_e ash inthe
oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled
steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually
asalt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle
may be repeated.
QUESTIONS AND
Q. Ifmyelectronic control is not working, can Isttllself-
clean my oven?
A. No. Your RANGE CONTROL is used to program the
oven to start and stop the self-cleaning cycle.
