YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP
• Know which knob or key controls each surface heating
area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area
before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before
removing the cookware.
• Cookware 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 cookware should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
other cooking areas.
• Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
cookware with at bottoms that match the surface unit
size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking area
will improve efciency.
• Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check
the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
• Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes
in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes
in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs
may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite.
A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may
damage the cooktop.
• Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler
pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed
for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a re.
• When you are aming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn on the fan
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualied technician immedi-
ately.
• Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can pro-
duce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermar-
ket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to
line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the
appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for
baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed
on food. Any other use of protective liners or alumi-
num foil may result in a risk of electric shock or re or
a short circuit.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or
warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of
the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.

NOTES
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
About the ceramic glass cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The design of the
ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element
underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
at-bottomed cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and their settings are all factors that will
affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond
the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements
may become hot enough to cause burns.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning and
Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care
Manual.
About the radiant surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly.
As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To
maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON
and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to
provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efcient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element
to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps
to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling
at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if
the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if
the cookware bottom is not at.
Element On & Hot Surface indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights located on the
control panel just above the surface control knobs on
the control panel — the On and Hot Surface indicator
lights.
The element On indicator light will glow when any surface
element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator
light after cooking is an easy check to be sure the surface
controls are turned OFF (See Fig. 1).
The Hot Surface indicator light will glow when any
surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until
the cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level (See
Fig. 2).

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). If aluminum pans slide across
the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which
will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
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. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will inuence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.
Cookware should have at bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface heating element (See
Fig. 2). Check for atness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 3). For more information
about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop cleaning &
maintenance” in the Care & Cleaning section.

The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The graphics on
the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element
available. The Warming Zone and single radiant
elements will have one round outline pattern shown. The
dual radiant element is exible because you may set
just the smaller inner portion as a single element or both
inner and outer portions may be set to heat together (See
Fig. 1).

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Single radiant surface elements (all models)
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (Refer to the
Suggested radiant surface element settings
table Fig. 1). Start most cooking operations on a
higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to nish
cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to
be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics
provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed (See Fig. 2). Each surface element provides a
constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red
surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge
of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small
for the surface heating area.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
The On indicator light will glow when one or more
elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator
light when cooking is nished is an easy check to be
sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface
indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control
knob is turned to the “OFF” position and will glow until
the heating surface area has cooled sufciently.
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.
Suggested radiant surface element
settings
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will inuence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
NOTES
Fig. 2
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufciently.

1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise
to begin heating both the inner and outer portions of
the dual element. If only the inner heating portion is
needed for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob
counter-clockwise to start.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the dual radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
Areas that heat are shown darkened.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to nish cooking. The surface
control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular
mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control
knob as needed. A glowing red surface heating area
extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware
indicates the cookware is too small for the surface
heating area.
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will inuence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
NOTES
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
The On indicator light will glow when one or more
elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator
light when cooking is nished is an easy check to be
sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface
indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control
knob is turned to the “OFF” position and will glow until
the heating surface area has cooled sufciently.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Warming Zone (some models)
The purpose of the warming zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature
to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies,
casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe
dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat
cold food on the Warming Zone. All food placed on the
warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain
quality.
For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the
cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the surface and be very difcult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended
for oven and cooktop use on the Warming Zone zone.
Setting the Warming Zone control
1. Push in either direction and turn the knob (See Fig 1).
The temperatures are approximate, and are designated
by hi, med and lo. However, the control can be set at
any position between hi and lo for different levels of
warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The
Warming Zone will remain warm until the indicator
light goes OFF.
Unlike the surface elements, the Warming Zone will not
glow red when it is hot.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing
food from the Warming Zone as cookware and plates
will be hot.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufciently.
Do not place ammable items such as plastic 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.
CAUTION
Temperature selection - Refer to the Warming Zone
recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a
particular food is not listed, start with the medium level,
and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.

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.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufciently.
Do not place ammable items such as plastic 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.
CAUTION
• Use only quality at bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom
(see “Cookware material types” in the Before setting
surface controls section).
• 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.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 differ-
ent surface cooking elements at the same time. This can
cause uneven heating results. For models equipped with
a ceramic cooktop, uneven heating between different
cooking elements may cause the glass cooktop to frac-
ture.

• The convection fan will begin rotating once Convec
feature has been activated.
• If the oven door is opened when Convec feature is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the
oven door is closed.
• When using Convec feature cook time reductions
may vary depending on the amount and type of food
being cooked.
• Layer cakes will have better results using the normal
Bake feature.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods.
It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature
or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny
pans are recommended for cakes, cookies and
mufns.
Suggestions for Convec:
• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder
of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.
• For best results when using a single oven rack, place
rack in position 4 or 5 (See Fig. 1). When using 2 oven
racks, place in positions 2 & 5. When using 3 oven
racks place in positions 2, 4, & 7 (use offset rack only in
position 7).
The Convec feature uses a fan to circulate the oven’s
heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking
and browning results. It also gives better baking results
when using two oven racks at the same time.
Heated air ows around the food from all sides, sealing in
juices and avors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.
Most foods baked in a standard will cook faster and more
evenly with the convection feature. Convec may be set
for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F
(288°C).

SELF-CLEANING
Self-Cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a ne powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
CAUTION
For models that have a visible lower bake element
ONLY - This bake element was designed to be tilted up
using your hand from the front of the bake element for
cleaning purposes. Remove the bottom oven rack before
raising the element. Do not to raise the element more
than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The
elements may still be hot and burns may occur if
these elements are touched before they have cooled
sufciently.
Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).
The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket.
• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures and will
melt.
• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and
ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed they can discolor or lose their special
coating properties and no longer slide in and
out of the oven cavity easily.
• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean,
use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or re when subjected to
high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
• 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. These areas
heat sufciently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and
water. These areas are shown in white (See Fig. 1).
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
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.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use caution
when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is
complete. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

CARE & CLEANING
Surface type Recommendation
• Porcelain enamel broiler pan and broiler
pan insert (if equipped)
• Door liner & body parts
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more
difcult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly
onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a
damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these
materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the
OFF position; grasp rmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace
knobs after cleaning, line up the at sides of both the knob and the
shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF and if needed
remove any knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water
and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the
dishcloth before wiping the 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.
• Stainless steel (some models)
• Oven racks
• Oven door
Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using
a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse
with clean water and dry. Remove racks from oven during Self-Clean.
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.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-cleaning models the
oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for
a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this
gasket.
Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See cooktop
cleaning and maintenance in the Care & Cleaning section.
• Ceramic cooktop
Cleaning recommendation table
• Control knobs
• Painted body parts
• Painted decorative trim
• Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim pieces
• Control panel
• Decorative trim (some models)
Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with
clean water and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concen-
trations of chlorides or chlorine. 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 off from
the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be
removed.
Gentle scouring with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove
most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If
necessary, cover difcult 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 non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and
wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating.
26
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Do not:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a
pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly
to the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean the
entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you
use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to
the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as
needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop
for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to
the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff surface clean.
Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most
hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic
surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will
make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop
cleaning creams leave a protective nish on the glass to
help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the
cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface.
These marks should be removed immediately after the
cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream.
Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior
to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough
or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop
surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

IMPORTANT
CAUTION
CARE & CLEANING
30°
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if
spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface.
Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop
surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After
turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade
scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil
from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to
cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on
soils.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to your health and
can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.
WARNING
27
CARE & CLEANING
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning
products that have been specically designed for
ceramic glass cooktops.
Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop
• Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot
cooktop will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use
thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to
touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum
is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when
using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged
or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the
ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the
cooktop surface.
Do not use the following on the cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such
as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the
cooktop, making it more difcult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor
the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as
they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can
burn and cause discoloration.

BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems
Surface element does not heat.
Entire appliance does not operate.
• The time of day is not set. The time of day must rst be set in order to
operate the oven. See “Setting the clock” in the Setting oven controls
section.
• Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.
• Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or
authorized service agent.
• Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local
electric company for service.
• Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature.
See Setting Oven Controls in this manual or read the instructions
“Entire appliance does not operate” in this checklist.
Oven light does not work.
• 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.
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 sufcient space so appliance 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
that you are attempting to use.
Problem Solution
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 sufcient room for appliance clearance.
• Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see “Changing & replacing the
oven light” section.
Poor baking results.
• Many factors affect 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” section in this Use & Care Guide.
Oven portion of appliance does not
operate.
Self-clean cycle does not work.
• Self-clean cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under “Stopping or
Interrupting a Self-cleaning cycle” under Self-Clean.
• Oven control not set properly. Follow instructions under Self-Clean.
30
Oven smokes excessively during broiling.
• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven
Controls.
• Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
• 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.
• Broiler pan and insert wrong side up and grease not draining. Always
place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease
to drip into pan (some models).
• 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 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. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.

clear the display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If
the F code error repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes
and then repower appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the
bake or broil feature again. If the fault recurs, record fault and call for
service.
Problem Solution
Brown streaks or specks on cooktop
surface.
• Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil.
See “Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance” in the Care & Cleaning section.
Metal marks on the cooktop.
• Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide
metal utensils on cooktop surface. Use a cooktop cleaning cream to
remove the marks. See “Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance” in the
Care & Cleaning section.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop
surface.
• Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils
can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils
are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will
become less visible with time.
• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been
used. See “Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance” in the Care & Cleaning
section of this Use & Care Guide.
• Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, at-bottomed
cookware.
Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen
on cooktop surface.
• Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop
cleaner. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
Soil not completely removed after self-
cleaning cycle.
• Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area
outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get
hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning
cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush
and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
