RANGESAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the

potential exposure to such substances.
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed, including benzene, formaldehyde, carbon
monoxide, and toluene.
background
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
[] WARNING: 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 PROPERLY, SLIDE
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE
BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP
BRACKET.
[] CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range -
children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
[] Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
[] Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.
[] Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left
alone or unattended in area where the range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the range.
[] Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the range.
[] User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
[] Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
[] Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
[] Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
[] DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces
facing the cooktop.
[] Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.
[] Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
[] Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place -
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
[] Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls or 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.
[] Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface units.
[] Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
[] Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
[] Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
[] Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
[] Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
[] 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.
[] DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
For self-cleaning ranges -
[] Do Not Clean Door Gasket - The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
or move the gasket.
[] Do Not Use Oven Cleaners - No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.
[] Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
[] Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and
other utensils.
For units with ventilating hood -
[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
[] When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

ZONE
To Use:
Push in WARM ZONE button to activate. Push again to turn off.
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.
It is normal for the surface of white or biscuit ceramic glass to
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As
the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep
it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On
cooktops with white or biscuit ceramic glass, soils and stains
may be more visible, and may require more cleaning and care.
Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For
more information, see "General Cleaning" section.
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools,
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop,
and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.
Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on
cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the
cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that
cannot be removed completely.
Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm)
outside the area.
" _ _ "_ ............ B
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. _2" (1.3 cm) Maximum overhang
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
On coil element and ceramic glass models, the hot surface
indicator light is located on the console panel.
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking
area(s) is turned off.
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also
help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than _/2"(1.3 cm) over the coil
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce
excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color. For more
information, see the "General Cleaning" section.
NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the
Off position.
To Remove:
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then
lift it enough to clear the burner bowl.
background
2. Pullthecoilelementstraightawayfromthereceptacle.
3. Liftouttheburnerbowl.
To Replace:
1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element
receptacle.
\
2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, slowly push the
coil element terminal into the receptacle.
3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it
will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the
receptacle.
The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath.
Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and
the cooktop frame. For more information, see the "General
Cleaning" section.
To Lift:
Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into
place.
To Replace:
1. Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support
rods back to unlock them.
2. Slowly lower the cooktop into place.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not
extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking
area or element.
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil
element will be shortened. See "Assistance or Service" for
instructions on ordering.
For instructions on ordering, contact your local U.S.
Government Agricultural Department Extension Office.
Companies that manufacture home canning products can
also offer assistance.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is afactor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum Heats quickly and evenly.
Suitable for all types of cooking.
Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
Cast iron Heats slowly and evenly.
Good for browning and frying.
Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Ceramic glass Heats slowly, but unevenly.
Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
Copper Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Use on low heat settings.

A. Oven vent (coil
element model)
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt
or burn near the oven vent.
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven
is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than
1/2"(1.3 cm) over the element.
ACCUBAKE ®Temperature Management System
(on some models)
The ACCUBAKE ° system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when
cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically
activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to
end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the
recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP, TEMP/TIME or TEMP/HOUR "up" or "down"
arrow pads to set a temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in
5° amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and
500°F (75°C and 260°C).
2= Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step.
START does not need to be pressed again on styles 2 and 3
of Electronic Oven Controls.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
Style I - Electronic Oven Control
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. "Lo" will appear on the display until the temperature
is above 170°F (75°C). Once 170°F (75°C) is reached, the display
temperature will increase in 2° increments as the actual
temperature of the oven increases. "OVEN IS PREHEATING" will
appear in the display in the lower text line. When the preheat
conditioning temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the
selected temperature will appear on the display.
Styles 2, 3 & 4 - Electronic Oven Controls
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. On some models, "PrE" will appear on the display.
On some models, the time countdown will appear on the display.
On some models, both "PrE" and the time countdown will appear
on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone
will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the
display.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.

background
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some
models). It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter
and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See "Assistance or Service" section to order. Ask for
Part Number 4396923.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is
not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to
the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.
To Broil:
1. Open door to broil stop position.
2. Press BROIL.
3. Press START.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
To Custom Broil (on some models):
1. Press BROIL.
2. Press TEMP or TEMP/HOUR "up" or "down" arrow pads
to change the temperature in 5°F (5°C) amounts. The
broil range can be set between 300°F and 525°F
(150°C and 275°C).
3. Press START.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil

During convection cooking, the fan provides increased hot air
circulation continuously and more consistently throughout the
oven. The movement of heated air around the food helps to
speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food
cooks more evenly, browning and crisping outer surfaces while
sealing moisture inside.
Many foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures
25°F (10°C) and/or cooking time can be shortened by as much as
30 percent. By using multiple racks, you can cook more food at
the same time.
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door
when necessary.
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as
using a toothpick.
Use a meat thermometer to determine the doneness of meats
and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or
3 different places.
Before convection cooking, position the rack(s) according to
the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.

Style I - Convection Baking and Roasting 4.
During the CONVECT function, the ring element operates, along
with the fan, to provide an indirect source of heat in the oven
cavity. Use CONVECT for single or multiple rack baking and
roasting.
When using more than one rack, position bakeware/
cookware on the racks to allow movement of the fan
circulated air around the food. See the "Positioning Racks
and Bakeware" section.
If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
During the CONVECT preheating cycle, the fan, and the bake and
broil elements heat the oven cavity. When preheating is finished,
the ring element cycles to maintain the oven temperature while
the fan continues to constantly circulate the heated air.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or
preheating, the element(s) and fan will turn off immediately. Once
the door is closed, they will come back on.
For optimal cooking results, do not cover food with aluminum
foil.
To Select Convection Settings
There are 5 convection presets for time and temperature. Each
can be activated by sequentially pressing the CONVECT key.
The temperatures and times can be changed for each of the
following settings. This helps you to match the convection oven

Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds
to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see
"Oven Vent" or "Oven Vents" section.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The
door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Prepare Oven:
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
See "General Cleaning" section for more information.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.
