IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, injury to persons,
or damage when using the range,
follow basic precautions, including
the following:
,WARNING - TO REDUCE THE
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 ATTACHED TO
FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK
SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER

_ nge Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
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.
e 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 cook-top
and surfaces facing the cook-top.
e 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.
e 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.
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.
e 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.
e Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top -
If cook-top should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook-top and create a risk
of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
e Clean Cook-Top 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.
e Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers
- Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
e Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
Placement of Oven Racks - Always
place oven racks in desired location
while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.

The ceramic glass cookfop
Standard Hot surface Halogen
elements indicator elements
lights (some
models)
Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop
is almost the same as cooking on coil
elements. There are, however, a few
differences:
o The surface cooking 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.
oWiping off the cooktop before and after
each use will help keep the surface free
from stains and give you the most even
heating. See "Cleaning the cooktop" in
the "Caring for Your Range" section.
e Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
o 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.
o Do not cook popcorn that comes in
prepackaged aluminum containers on
the cooktop. The container could leave
aluminum marks on the cooktop that
cannot be removed completely.
e Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
o Do not allow anything that could melt,
such as plastic or aluminum foil, to come in
contact with the cooktop while it is hot.
e Dropping a heavy or hard object on the
cooktop could crack it. Be careful when
using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not
store jars or cans above the cooktop.
e Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.
See "Cleaning the cooktop" in the "Caring
for Your Range" section.

J sing and Caring for Your Cooktop
Cookware tips
e Use the correct cookware to prevent
damage to the surface cooking area,
cooktop, wiring, and surrounding areas.
o if the cookware is too small for the
surface cooking area or the bottom is not
flat, the surface cooking area could stay
glowing red for an extended length of time
causing damage to the range.
o If you start cooking on high, it is impor-
tant to turn the control down to a lower
setting to complete cooking.
e Flat-bottomed cookware, including woks,
canners, and teakettles, will provide better
contact with the surface cooking area and
provide the best cooking results.
oWarped, dented, and ribbed-bottomed
cookware can result in uneven cooking
clue to incomplete contact with the surface
cooking area.
o Cookware that has been designed with
slightly indented bottoms or small expan-
sion channels can be used.
e Choose medium to heavy gauge
(thickness) cookware.
o The pan material (type of metal or
glass) affects how quickly and evenly
the pan heats.
e Check for rough spots on the bottom of
your metal or glass cookware which could
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
e Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans
are clean and dry before using them. Food
and water particles left on the bottoms can
leave deposits on the cooktop when it is
heated.
Home canning information
o Use flat-bottomed canner/pan.
Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms
do not allow good contact with the
surface cooking area.
center over
I surface cooking I
o Use the largest surface cooking area
and center the canner/pan on it. A large
diameter canner/pan, if not centered
correctly, can trap heat and cause
damage to the cooktop.
e Do not place your canner/pan on
2 surface cooking areas at the same
time. Too much heat will build up and
damage the cooktop.
e Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
the heat setting to the lowest position
needed to keep water boiling.
oWhen canning for long periods of
time, alternate use of the surface
cooking areas between batches to allow
the areas to cool down, or prepare food
in small batches.
o Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or
cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot
surface cooking area. The cookware could
overheat, causing damage to the cookware
or surface cooking area.

Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
cooking product:
Cookfop
e Match the pan to the surface cooking
area size.
e The pan should have a flat bottom,
straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.
o To help shorten your cooking time, use
the least amount of liquid possible.
e Preheat your pots and pans only when
recommended and for the shortest time
possible.
e Start your food on a higher heat setting,
then turn the control to a lower setting to
finish cooking.
o Place a filled pan on the surface cooking
area before turning it on.
Oven
o "Oven peeking" can make cooking
times longer and affect the food quality.
o Rely on a timer to keep track of
cooking time.
* Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the oven by cooking more than one
food at a time, or baking while the oven
is still hot after cooking a meal.
o it is not necessary to preheat the oven
when broiling or roasting, unless your
recipe recommends doing so.
Caring for your cooktop
Your cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, you need to maintain your
ceramic glass cooktop differently than you
would standard electric open-coil elements.
Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not
burn off as on open-coil elements. Because
of this, you should keep the surface dust
free and soil free before heating.
%
Your cooktop has been prepolished at the
factory for improved protection and easier
cleaning. The Cooktop Polishing Creme
included with your range, paper towels or
a sponge, and a single-edge razor blade in
the holder are all you need to clean your
cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please
review "Cleaning tips" later in this section.
Follow them each time you use your
cooktop. This will ensure you get the best
performance out of your cooktop, as well as
preserve that uniquely elegant look.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow
these instructions:
e Remove sugar spills and soils from the
cooktop while the surface is still warm to
avoid pitting on the surface.
o Marks from sliding metal pans on the
cooktop are difficult to remove completely.
Use cooktop polishing creme to clean
the area. Several applications may be
necessary.
o Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning
pads, gritty powdered cleansers, chlorine
bleach, rust remover, ammonia, or glass
cleaning products with ammonia. These
could damage the cooktop surface.

Cleaning tips
What to use:
, Cooktop Polishing Creme (included
with your range) with paper towel or
clean, damp sponge - This creme has
been developed especially for cleaning
and protecting your cooktop. When using
the creme, follow the instructions on the
container.
, Razor scraper in a holder (not included
with your range) = Use to remove cooked-on
soils from your ceramic glass cooktop. To
avoid scratches, keep the razor blade as flat
against the cooktop as possible. Store
razor blades out of reach of children.
Steps to follow:
1. Most spills can be wiped off easily using
a paper towel or clean, damp sponge as
soon as the Hot Surface Indicator Light
goes off.
2. For stubborn spills, rub Cooktop
Polishing Creme into cooked-on soil
using a paper towel. If some soil remains,
leave some creme on the spot(s) and
follow Step 3.
3. Carefully scrape spots with the razor
scraper.
4. Finish by polishing entire cooktop
with Cooktop Polishing Creme and
a paper towel.
To order Cooktop Polishing Creme
(Part No. 3184477), call 1-800-422-1230.
You will hear a recording. Follow the steps
to place an order.

iF THERE ARE WHAT TO DO
Sugary spills
and soils (such
as jellies and
candy syrups)
Dark streaks,
specks, and
discoloration
Metal marks
(from copper and
aluminum pans)
To prevent pitting on
the cooktop, wipe up
with a paper towel or
clean, damp sponge
while the ceramic
glass surface is still
warm. Remove spills
as soon as possible
after they occur.
Use the Cooktop
Polishing Creme or a
nonabrasive cleanser

Polishing Creme with
a damp paper towel
or sponge before
heating the cooktop
again. If heated
before cleaning,
metal marks may not
come off.
Tiny scratches
or abrasions
Scratches and
abrasions do not
affect cooking. After
many cleanings, they
will become less
visible. To prevent
scratches and
abrasions, use the
Cooktop Polishing
Creme regularly.
NOTE: Always wipe your cooktop with clean
water and dry it well after using the cleanser
to prevent streaking or staining.

e For best results, allow 11½to 2 inches
(3.7 to 5 cm) of space around each pan
and between pans and oven walls.
oWhen baking with 1 pan, place pan in the
center of the oven rack.
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.
e When baking with 2 pans, place pans in
opposite corners of the oven rack.
NOTES:
e "Oven peeking" may cause heat loss,
longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory
baking or roasting results. Rely on your
timer.
e Do not allow pans to touch the heat
sensor on the left wall near the back.
Poor baking may result.

Using and Caring for Your Oven
Baking tips
(Bake pad)
For proper cooking, follow these
guidelines:
e When using 1 rack, pJace the rack so
the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
e When using more than 1 rack, use the
Convection Bake setting.
o Use only 1 cookie sheet in the oven at
a time when using the Bake setting.
Bakeware tips
e 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 aloneness before removing
from the oven.
o When using ovenproof glassware or
dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-
ture by 25°F (16°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"
earlier in this section.)
RACK
FOOD POSITION
Frozen pies 2
Angel food and bundt cakes,
most quick breads, yeast 1 or 2
breads, casseroles, meats
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, 2 or 3
cakes, nonfrozen pies
NOTE: For additional baking tips see
"Baking or convection baking" earlier in this
section.
Using aluminum foil in fhe oven
(for thermal baking)
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from
pies or casseroles.
e Place the foil on the oven rack below the
rack with the food. Turn foil edges up and
make sure foil is about 1 inch (2.5 cm)
larger all around than the dish holding the
food.
o Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce air circulation and
cause poor cooking results.
o Do not line oven bottom or entire oven
rack with foil or other liners. It could affect
the quality of your baking.
33
background
. singand Caring forYour Oven
Convection baking tips
(Convection Bake pad)
o Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
e Reduce recommended standard cooking
temperatures by approximately 25°F
(16°C). The cooking times can also be
reduced for most recipes. See recipes and
cooking charts in your convection oven
cookbook for recommended temperatures
and times, or use EASY CONVECT*
Conversion (later in this section).
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than I rack.
o When baking on 2 or 3 racks, use the
Convection Bake setting for more even
results. (You can, however, use only 1 rack
when Convection Baking.)
e To use 3 racks during convection
baking, place one rack in position 5 (the
highest position), another rack in position
1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the
third rack in position 3. This allows all three
racks to be an equal distance apart for
better baking.
o Stagger cake pans or other cookware in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used.
NOTE: For additional convection baking tips
see "Baking or convection baking" later in
this section.
Roasting tips
e Spatter can be reduced by lining the
bottom of the roasting pan with lightly
crushed aluminum foil.
e Use an accurate meat thermometer or
temperature probe (see "Using the
temperature probe" later in this section) to
determine when meat has reached desired
degree of aloneness. Insert the thermom-
eter 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 fat, bone, or gristle.
e After reading the thermometer once,
push it further into the meat inch
(1.2 cm) or more and read again. If the
temperature drops, return the meat to the
oven for more cooking.
o Check pork and poultry with a ther-
mometer in 2 to 3 places to ensure
adequate aloneness.
o 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.
e You can reduce roasting times and
temperatures for most standard recipes
when using the Convection Roast setting.
See recipe adaption chart or convection
roasting chart in your convection oven
cookbook for recommended roasting
times and temperatures, or use
EASY CONVECT Conversion (later in
this section).
o 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.

Using EASY CONVECT* 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.)
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than
one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in death,
food poisoning, or sickness.
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.

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,
make sure you:
o 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.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend
the gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and
roasting may result.
e Remove the broiler pan and grid and
anything else being stored in the oven.
o Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
e Wipe up food spills containing sugar
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 and etching or pitting.
o 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.
o 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.
NOTES:
o Do not block the oven vent during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely
for best cleaning results.
e Do not leave plastic utensils on the
cooktop. They may melt.
e Do not leave any foil in oven during the

How fhe 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 ._
3
breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.
Your oven is preset for a 31½-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
21½and 41½hours. (See "Setting the con-
trols" earlier in this section.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 3½-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
that the heating stops after 3 hours, but it
takes longer for the oven to cool enough to
