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. AII
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 Iet
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNHTSOR AREAS NEAR
UNHTS- 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 wilI 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 Bowis 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. Hmproper 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 Hnwardand Not Extend
Over Adiacent 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 - Hfcooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spilIovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
Clean Cooktop With Caution - Hfa 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 iniury.
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.

Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisonnng or sickness.
Use the Warm Zone element to keep cooked foods warm. One
hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food
quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warm Zone element can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used.
The Warm Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on.
However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Warm Zone
element area is too hot to touch.
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use.
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture
to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
ooo
o o
WARM
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
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to
change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping 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 ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more visible,
and may require more cleaning and care. 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.

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 1" (2.5 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 just enough to clear the burner bowl.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. !" (2.5 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 (under ceramic glass)
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.
Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.
3. Lift out the burner bowl.
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 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.

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. Canners should not extend more than
1" (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element
will be shortened. See "Assistance or Service" for ordering
instructions.
For more information, 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, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. 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.
Porcelain See stainless steel or cast iron.

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.
Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
1/2"(1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
Check all meat in 2 or 3 places.
A. Oven vent (ceramic
glass model)
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" (2.5 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 recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads to set a temperature
other than 350°F (177°C) in 5° amounts. The bake range can
be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
Press STAR]_
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 (77°C). Once 170°F (77°C) is reached, the display
temperature will increase in 2° increments as the actual
temperature of the oven increases. "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.

background
Styles 2 & 3 - Electronic Oven Controls
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. "PrE" and the time countdown will appear on the
display (on some models). When the preheat conditioning time
ends, atone 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.

The CHOICE BAKE ®function eliminates the top heat during oven
cooking. It is ideal for baking pies, casseroles and breads, and for
roasting foods that require longer and slower cook times such as
poultry and roasts.
Similar to the baking and roasting function, the bake elements or
burners cycle on and off at intervals during CHOICE BAKE ®
function. However, the cycle duration for the broil element is
much shorter during CHOICE BAKE ®cycle, allowing less top
browning of foods and more customized control for your baking
results.
To Use:
1. Press CHOICE BAKE®function.
Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads to set a
temperature other that 350°F (175°C) in 5 ° increments.
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.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
To use the CHOICE BAKE®function during a regular BAKE cycle
to acheive less top browning, press CHOICE BAKE ®function, set
the desired temperature and press START.
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.
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
For proper draining, do not cover the broiler 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 prevent curling.
Pull out oven rack to the 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 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.

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
Most foods can be cooked at lower cooking temperatures
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C) and cooking time can be shortened
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
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 opening the oven door only
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 places.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil
elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting,
the broil element and fan will turn off immediately and the bake
element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once
the door is closed.
For optimal cooking results, do not use aluminum foil.
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also. See the cookbook supplied with
this oven for more information.
To Convection Bake or Roast:
Before convection baking or roasting, position the racks
according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
When using two racks, place them on rack positions 2 and 4.
When roasting with CONVECT, use the roasting rack on top of
the broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to
preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the
recipe.
A. Roasting rack
B. Broiler grid
C. Broiler pan
To Select Convection Settings

Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
The Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and
pastries.
Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at
the same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than
1 hour. For smaller quantities or heat-sensitive foods, such as
eggs, do not hold longer than 30 minutes.
Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the
warming drawer. Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated
from room temperature on the HI setting.
Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container.
Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil.
Do not cover with plastic wrap.
Empty serving dishes and oven proof dishes can be heated while
the warming drawer is preheating.
Before using the warming drawer, wash the tray that lines the
bottom of the drawer with soap and water. See "General
Cleaning" section.

RANGE CARE
i
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during
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.
Hand clean inside door edge and the 11/2'' (3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being careful not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this
area.
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not
affect cooking performance.
21
background
Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer:
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may
melt.
Remove all items from the storage drawer.
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.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
Style I - Electronic Oven Control
The clean cycle can be set at one of two levels Maxi Clean
(4 hours 30 minutes) or Quick Clean (2 hours 30 minutes).
Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil or
4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in
the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
The rear surface elements will not work during the Self-Cleaning
cycle.
Style 2 & 3 - Electronic Oven Control
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the
time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours
30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes and
4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool, damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in
the glass breaking.
