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 proper-
ly installed and grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
• 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 heat-
ing 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, ex-
cept as suggested in the manual. Improper in-
stallation 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 techni-
cian 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 flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of potential exposure to such substances.
This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and toluene.

ACCUSIMMER is an adjustable setting for the left
front element which allows for more accurate
simmering of foods.
To set the ACCUSIMMER control:
1. Turn the small element knob clockwise from
the NORMAL BURNER position to the
ACCUSIMMER ON position. The indicator
light will glow.
2. Turn the left front element knob ON between
the ACCUSIMMER MIN and MAX settings.
Adjust the setting according to type and size
of cookware, the type and amount of food, and
whether cookware lids are on or off. (See
"Cookware tips" section.)
NOTE: All other elements can be used for normal
operation whether ACCUSIMMER is in use or not.

Use the Keep Warm element to keep cooked foods
warm. It is not recommended for heating cold
foods. Choose the MIN setting for heat-sensitive
and smaller quantities of food. Choose the MAX
setting for liquids and larger quantities of food.
Adjust as needed.
To set the Keep Warm element:
1. Push in and turn the control knob to the desired
setting from MIN to MAX for different levels of
heating.
2. Turn the knob to OFF when finished. The Keep
Warm element will remain warm until the surface
indicator light on the cooktop goes off.
• 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 Keep Warm element will not glow red when it
is on, unlike the surface elements. However, the
surface indicator light on the cooktop will glow.
• The Keep Warm 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 Keep Warm element for an extended
period of time.

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is similar
to cooking on coil
elements. There are,
however, a few
differences:
• 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 chose.
• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See
"Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop" in the
"Caring for Your Range" section for more
information.
• 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 "Cleaning the
ceramic glass cooktop" in the "Caring for Your
Range" section for care and cleaning suggestions.
(
One of the hot surface indicator lights on the cooktop
will glow when a surface cooking area becomes too
hot to touch. The indicator light will
continue to glow as long as the surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even
after it is turned off.

To protect your range:
• Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of cooktops,
especially ceramic glass.

=1"1 1 inch I1"'
= I maximum I '
= .l overhang L '
Surface Pan
cooking area
Canners with rippled 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 one
inch outside the surface
cooking area. Large
diameter canners/pans, if not centered correctly,
trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.
• Do not place your canner 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 later
in this section for more information.
• When canning for long periods of time, allow
elements and the surrounding surfaces to cool
down.
• Alternate 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.
• On coil element model, keep your reflector bowls
clean so that they will always reflect heat well.
• For up-to-date information on canning, contact
your local U.S. Government Agricultural
Department Extension Office or companies who
manufacture home canning products.
Most water-bath or pressure canners have large
diameters. If you do canning with them at high heat
settings for long periods of time, you can shorten
the life of regular coil elements. This can also
damage the cooktop. If you plan to use the cooktop
for canning, we recommend the installation of a
Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from
your dealer or designated service company.

• 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 porce-
lain 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 a 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 which
has boiled dry, on a hot surface cooking area. The
cookware could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or the surface cooking area.
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 types 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 quickly and evenly.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or • See cast iron and stainless steel.
enamel-on-cast iron
Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides

Place the oven racks where you need them before
turning on the oven.
• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
• For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the
rack so the top of the food will be centered in the
oven.
• When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks
on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at
approximately three quarters of the total bake time.
Increase baking time, if necessary.
• For best results allow 2 inches of space around
each pan and between
pans and oven walls. Hot
air must circulate around
the pans in the oven for
even heat to reach all
parts of the oven. This
results in better baking.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE PLACE
1 pan In center of the oven rack.
2 pans Side by side or slightly
staggered.
3 or 4 pans In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger
pans so no pan is directly
over another.
Frozen pies, large 1st or 2nd rack
roasts, turkeys, angel guide from bottom
food cakes
Bundt cakes, most 2nd rack guide
quick breads, yeast from bottom
breads, casseroles,
meats
Cookies biscuits 2nd or 3rd rack
muffins, cakes, guide from bottom ....
NOTE: For information on where to place your rack
when broiling, see "Broiling guidelines" later in this
section.

Baking performance is affected by the type of bakeware used. Use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe.
BAKEWARE TYPE BEST USED FOR GUIDELINES
Light colored aluminum • Light golden crusts • Use temperature and time recommended
• Even browning in recipe.
• Brown, crisp crusts
Dark aluminum and other
bakeware with dark, dull,
and/or non-stick finish
• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
• Use suggested baking time.
• Use temperature and time recommended in recipe
for pies, breads, and casseroles.
• Place rack in center of oven.
Ovenproof glassware, • Brown, crisp crusts • May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
ceramic glass, or ceramic
Insulated cookie sheets or • Little or no bottom browning • Place in the bottom third of oven.
baking pans • May need to increase baking time.
Stainless steel • Light, golden crusts • May need to increase baking time.
• Uneven browning
Stoneware • Crisp crusts • Follow manufacturer's instructions.
• 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 epillovere 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.

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They
are designed to drain extra juices from the
cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent
spatter and smoke.
• To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
the grid with foil.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat
on the edges to prevent curling.
• Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning
or removing food.
• 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.
• For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan
with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as
soon as possible after each use.
Recommended rack positions are numbered from the
bottom (1) to the top (5). For best results, place food
3 inches or more from the broil element.

USINGTHESELF-CLEANINGCYCLE
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 these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.
ii:! !iiii!ii , liiiii iii iiiii!!?i ii'ili ii,,, i l,!!iil;'iiiii"¸¸¸¸¸¸'
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket.
You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
• 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 any
cookware/bakeware 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 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, pitting, or
faint white spots.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will
become harder to slide. (See the "Cleaning chart"
in the "Caring for Your Range" section.) If you
clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
• 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 during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Move birds to another closed and
well ventilated room.

TIPS:
• Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors,
and smoke.
• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual.
• Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.
• Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
may melt.
• Remove any combustible items, such as paper
napkins, from the storage drawer. This includes
utensils with plastic handles that can become
overheated and melt.
• Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
• The oven light will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. It has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and
easier cleaning. 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. Use the Cooktop Polishing Creme,
included with your range, to clean and maintain the cooktop.
PART WHAT TO USE HOW TO CLEAN
Ceramic glass DO NOT use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, abrasive
cooktop powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover,
ammonia, or glass cleaners with ammonia. They may
damage the cooktop surface.
Light to • Paper towel Wipe as soon as Hot Surface Indicator Light goes off.
moderate soil • Clean, damp sponge Rinse thoroughly and dry.

• Cooktop Polishing Creme*
• Cooktop Polishing Creme*
Rub creme into soil using paper towel. Reapply creme
to remaining spots. Hold razor scraper as flat to surface
as possible, scrape spots. Polish entire cooktop with
creme and paper towel. Rinse and dry. Store razor
blades out of reach of children.
Wipe while ceramic glass surface is warm. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
Before heating cooktop again, rub into area using damp
paper towel. Rinse and dry.
To prevent scratches and abrasions, use the Cooktop
Polishing Creme regularly. Scratches and abrasions do
not affect cooking performance. After many cleanings,
they will become less visible.
NOTE: Always wipe your cooktop with clean water and dry it well after using the cleanser to prevent streaking
or staining.
*To order additional Cooktop Polishing Creme (Part No. 3184477), call 1-800-253-1301. You will hear a

2. Line up openings in the reflector bowl with the

3. Hold the coil element as level as possible with
the terminal just started into the receptacle. Push
the coil element terminal into the receptacle.
4. 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.
NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the
cookware on the coil elements. They also help
catch spills. When they are kept clean, they
reflect heat better and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl changes color, some of your
cookware may not be flat enough, or some may be
too large for the coil element. In either case, some
of the heat that's meant to go into or around
cookware goes down and heats the reflector bowl.
This extra heat can cause it to change color.
