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 hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,

electrical shock, injuryto persons, or dam-

age 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 DE-

VICES. 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 tS UNDER

ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

• CAUTION: Do not store items of

interest to children incabinets 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 quali-

fied 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 chemi-

cal 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 be-

come hot enough to cause bums. During

and after use, do not touch, or let cloth-

ing 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 lin-

ers may result in a risk of electric shock,

or fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 Tumed In-

ward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Sur-

face Units - To reduce the risk of bums,

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 sur- -

face units.

• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Ele-

ments - Heating elements should never

be immersed in water.

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop -

If cooktop should break, cleaning solu-

tions and spillovers may penetrate the

broken cooktop and create a risk of elec-

tric 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 bum. 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 con-

tainer 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 ele-

ments or interior surfaces of oven until

they have had sufficient time to cool.

Other surfaces of the appliance may be-

come hot enough to cause burns -

among these surfaces are oven vent

openings and surfaces near these open-

ings, 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 accu-

mulate on hood or filter.

• When flaming foods under the hood, turn

the fan on.

_Ising and Caring for Your Cooktop

Simmer Feature (somemodels)

The Simmer feature is an adjustable setting

which allows for more

precise simmering of foods.

The switch, when in the

"OFF" position, operates at

normal wattage (1800 W). When in the "ON"

position, it operates the right front element'

at a lower wattage (450 W).

NOTE: All other elements can be used for

normal operation whether the Simmer

feature is in use or not.

Warm Zone Feature (somemodels)

Use the Warm Zone element to keep

w,t.,,o,L=._,, cooked foods warm. It is not

=' recommended for heating

cold foods. The Warm Zone

is located in the center of

your cooktop. Set switch to "ON" for use.

• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum

foil. Do not use plastic wrap to cover

food because it may melt onto the

cooktop surface. When warming baked

goods, allow a small opening in the cover

for moisture to escape.

• Use only cookware and dishes

recommended for oven and cooktop use.

• Use potholders or oven mitts to remove

food.

• The Warm Zone element will not glow red

when it is on, unlike the surface

elements. However, the surface indicator

light on the cooktop will glow.

• The Warm Zone element may be used

whether the other elements are in use

or not.

• The quality of the food may deteriorate if

it is kept on the Warm Zone element for

an extended period of time.

Using the ceramic glass cooktop

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is

almost the same as cooking on coil surface

units. There are, however, a few differences:

• The cooking surface area wilt 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.

• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans

are clean and dry before cooking. Food

and water particles left on the bottoms can

leave deposits on the cooktop when it is

heated.

• Wiping off the cooktop before and after

each use will help keep the surface free

from stains and give you the most even

heating. See the "Cleaning tips" section.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

• Do not allow anything that could melt,

such as plastic or aluminum foil, to come

in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

• 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.

• Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.

See the "Cleaning tips" section.

Cookware tips

• Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface cooking area. Cookware

should not extend more than 1 inch

(2.5 cm) outside the area.

• For best results and greater energy

efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with

the surface cooking area. Cookware with

rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some

porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms

could cause uneven heating and poor

cooking results.

• Cookware designed with slightly indented

bottoms or small expansion channels can

be used.

• Cookware with non-stick finish has

heating characteristics of the base material.

• Check for rough spots on the bottom of

metal or glass cookware which will scratch

the ceramic glass surface.

• Use flat bottom cookware for best heat

conduction from the surface cooking area

to the cookware. Determine flatness with

the ruler test. Place the edge of a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware. Hold it

up to the light. No light should be visible

under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all

directions and look for any light.

• Do not leave empty cookware, or

cookware that has boiled dry, on a hot

surface cooking area. The cookware

could overheat, causing damage to the

cookware or the surface cooking area.

fusing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Characteristics of cookware materials

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan

material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the

best cooking results.

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

Use for all tyl_es of cooking.

Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Ceramic or * Heats slowly and unevenly.

ceramic glass • Use on low to medium settings.

• Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Copper ° Heats very quicklyand evenly.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Earthenware * Can be used for cooktop cooking ifrecommended by the

manufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel • See cast iron and stainless steel.

or enamel-on-cast iron

Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware

provides even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Home canning information

I c.._o,_ _ Pan

I _"'_";n_t I Surface

_--- unit

• Use the entire surface ("DUAL"setting) of

the left front surface cooking area for best

results.

• Use flat-bottomed canners on alltypes of

cooktops, especially ceramic glass.

Canners with dppled or ridged bottoms do

not allow good contact with the surface.

• Center the canner over the largest surface

cooking area. Do not extend more than 1 inch

(2.5 cm) outside the surface cooking area.

Large diameter canners/pans, if not centered

correctly, will trap heat and result in damage

to the cooktop. Do not place on two surface

cooking areas at the same time.

• The type of material the canner is made of

determines the length of heating time. Refer

to the "Characteristics of cookware materials"

chart inthis section for more information.

• When canning for long periods of time, allow

elements and the surrounding surfaces to

cool down.

•Altemate use of the surface cooking areas

between batches or prepare small batches

at a time.

Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and

bring to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain

a boil or required pressure levels in a

pressure canner.

For up-to-date information on canning, in

the United States, contact your local U.S.

Government Agricultural Department

Extension Office or companies who

manufacture home canning products. In

Canada, contact Agriculture Canada.

Optional canning kit

(Coil element models)

The large diameter of most water-bath or

pressure canners combined with high heat

settings for long periods of time can shorten

the life of regular surface units and cause

damage to the cooktop.

If you plan to use the cooktop for canning,

we recommend the installationof a Canning

Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your

dealer, or call 1-800-422-1230 (in Canada,

1-800-461-5681 ) and follow the instructions

and telephone prompts you hear.

Caring for your cooktop

(Ceramic glass cooktops)

This cooktop is designed for easy care.

However, ceramic glass cooktops need

to be maintained differently than standard

electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly

on the cooktop will not burn off as on coil

elements. Because of this, the surface

should be dust-free and soil-free before

heating.

Your cooktop has been prepolished at

the factory for improved protection and

cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme,

a paper towel or a sponge is all you need to

clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning

methods, please review the "How to keep

your cooktop looking like new" chart. Follow

this chart after each use to ensure top per-

formance and to preserve that uniquely ele-

gant look.

NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

G sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Cleaning tips

1. Most spills can be wiped off easily

using a paper towel or clean, damp

sponge as soon as 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 fol-

low 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) or razor scraper (Part

No. 3183488), call 1-800-422-1230 (in

Canada, 1-800-461-5681 ) and follow the

instructions and telephone prompts you

hear.

NOTE: Always wipe and dry your cooktop

thoroughly after using cleanser to prevent

streaking or staining.

cooktop again. If heat-

ed before cleaning,

metal marks may not

come off.

Tiny scratches

or abrasions

Scratches and abra-

sions do not affect

cooking. In time, they

will become less visible

as a result of cleaning.

To prevent scratches

and abrasions, use

Cooktop Polishing

Creme regularly.

_._sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Caring for your cooktop

(Coil eiement models)

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around

your home. Cleaning your cooktop whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it look-

ing and operating like new.

_ [ Explosion Hazard

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near this

appliance.

Doing so can resuR in death, explosion or fire,

NOTE_ Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

Removing surface units and reflector bowls for cleaning

Removing:

1. Make sure all surface units are off and

cool before removing surface units and

reflector bowls.

4. Lift out the reflector bowl. See the

"Cleaning your cooktop" section for

cleaning instructions.

Replacing:

2. Lift the edge of the unit, opposite the re-

ceptacle, just enough to clear the reflec-

tor bowl.

3. Pull the surface unit straight away from

the receptacle.

1. Make sure all surface units are off and

cool before replacing surface units and

reflector bowls.

2. Line up openings in the reflector bowl

with the surface unit receptacle.

q sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

3. Hold the surface unit as level as possible

with the terminal just started into the

receptacle. Push the surface unit termi- '

hal into the receptacle.

4. When terminal is pushed into the

receptacle as far as it will go, push

down the edge of the surface unit oppo-

site the receptacle.

NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the cookware on the surface units. They also help

catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.

If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of your cookware may not be flat enough, or some

may be too large for the surface unit. In either case, some of the heat that is meant to go into

or around cookware goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This extra heat can discolor it.

Cleaning under the lift-up cooktop

1. Lift front of cooktop at both front corners

until the support rods lock into place.

2. Wipe with warm, soapy water. Use a soapy

steel-wool pad on heavily soiled areas.

3. To lower the cooktop, lift cooktop from

both sides while pushing the support

rods back to unlock them. Lower the

cooktop into place.

For best air circulation:

• Place the pans so that one is not directly

• For best results, allow 1½ to 2 inches

(3.7 to 5 cm) of space around each pan

and between pans and oven walls.

• When baking with two pans, place pans

in opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTE: "Oven peeking" may cause heat

loss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfac-

tory baking or roasting results. Rely on

your timer.

Jsing and Caring for Your Oven

Rack positions

Your oven has two straight racks (thermal

models) or three straight racks

(Thermal-Convection TM models), 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.

For proper cooking, follow these

guidelines:

• When using one rack, place the rack so

the top of the food will be centered in the

oven.

• When using two racks, place one rack in

pos_ion 1 and the other rack in position 3.

• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at

a time when using the BAKE setting.

Bakeware tips

• 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.

• When using ovenproof glassware or

dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-

ture by 25°F (14°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 sug-

gested in the recipe.

Rack placement for specific

foods:

(For rack positions, see "Rack positions" in

previous column.)

RACK

FOOD POSITION

Frozen pies 2

Angel food and bundt

cakes, most quick 1 or 2

breads, yeast breads,

casseroles, meats

Cookies, biscuits,

muffins, cakes, 2 or 3

nonfrozen pies

Using aluminum foil

• Do not line the oven bottom with any

type of foil, liners, or cookware.

Permanent damage will occur to the

oven bottom finish.

• Do not block the oven bottom vents.

Do not cover the entire rack with

aluminum foil. Doing so will reduce air

circulation and overall oven performance.

To catch spillovers from pies or

casseroles place foil on the oven rack

below. Foil should be turned up at edges

and be at least 1 inch larger than dish.

• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat

or poultry to slow down surface browning

for long term roasting. Remove foil for the

last 30 minutes.

• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust

edges if browning too quickly.

]sing and Caring for Your Oven

Convection baking tips

(CONVECTION BAKEpad)

• Do not use aluminum foil when

convection baking. Aluminum foil may

block airflow.

• Reduce recommended recipe oven

temperature by approximately 25°F

(14°C). See recipe adaption chart in

your convection oven cookbook for

recommended temperatures.

• For most recipes, you can reduce

convection baking time compared to

standard baking times. See convection

baking chart in your convection oven

cookbook for recommended baking times.

NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when

you use more than one rack.

* When baking on two or three racks, use

the convection bake setting for more even

results. (You can, however, use only one

rack when convection baking.)

• To use three racks during convection

baking, place racks in position 5 (the

highest position), 3 and 1 (the closest to

the oven bottom). This allows all three

racks to be an equal distance apart for

better baking,

• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in

opposite directions on each rack when

three racks are used.

Roasting tips

• Roast meats fat-side up in a shallow pan

using a roasting rack.

• Use a roasting pan that fits the size of

the food to be roasted, Meat juices may

overflow the sides of a pan that is too

small. Too large of a pan will result in

increased oven spatter.

• Spatter can be reduced by lining the

bottom of the roasting pan with tightly

crushed aluminum foil.

• Use an accurate meat thermometer to

determine when meat has reached desired

degree of doneness. Insert the

thermometer 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 should not touch fat,

bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once,

push it further into the meat ½inch or

more and read again. If the temperature

drops, return the meat to the oven for

more cooking.

• Check pork and poultry with a

thermometer in 2-3 places to ensure

adequate doneness,

• 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,

• You can reduce roastingtimes and

temperatures for most standard recipes

when using the convection roast setting,

See convection roasting chart in your

convection oven cookbook for recommended

roastingtimes and temperatures.

J_sing and Caring for Your Oven

• 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.

NOTE: Place the convection roasting rack

on the broiler pan with grid to contain the

drippings as the meat roasts.

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.

Failure to follow th_se instructions can result in burns,

or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

_/ land-clean dooi 1

around edge

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,

make sure you:

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend

the gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and

roasting may result.

• 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.

• Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots

on door and frame.

• Remove the broiler pan and grid and

anything else being stored in the oven.

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This

will help reduce smoke during the

Self-Cleaning cycle.

• Wipe up food spills containing sugar

and/or milk 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, etching, pitting, or

faint white spots.

• 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.

• 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.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is

extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

duringthe Self-Cleaning cycle. Move birds to

another closed and well ventilated room.

NOTES:

• Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the

Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat,

odors, and smoke.

• Clean the oven before itgets heavily soiled.

Cleaning a very soiledoven takes longer and

results in more smoke than usual.

• Do not block the oven vent during the Self-

Cleaning cycle.Air must move freely for best

cleaning results.

• Do not leave plastic utensilsonthe cooktop.

They may melt.

• Remove any combustible items, such as

paper napkins,from the storagedrawer. This

includes utensilswith plastichandles that can

become overheated and melt.

• Do not leave any foil in oven during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could bum or

melt and damage the oven surface.

• The oven light willnotwork during the

LJsing the Self-Cleaning Cycle

For best cleaning resuJts

• After the oven cools to room

temperature, wipe up any residue or ash

with a damp cloth or sponge. If any spots

remain, clean with a mild abrasive

cleanser or cleaning sponge.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavily

soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes

longer and results in more smoke than

usual.

• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get

the oven as clean as you expected, the

cycle may not have been set long enough

or you may not have prepared the oven

properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer

the next time and hand-clean areas noted

in "Before You Start".

How the cycle works

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat

to bum away soil and grease. During the cycle,

the oven gets much hotter than it does for

normal baking or broiling. This high heat

breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.

Your oven is preset for a 3_-hour

Self-Cleaning cycle. However, the cycle

time can be adjusted to the amount of soil

in your oven. The cycle can be set

anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See the

"Setting the controls" section.)

The graph at the right is representative of

a normal, 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note

that the heating stops when the 3-hour set-

ting is up, but it takes longer for the oven to

cool enough to unlock.
