manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
•Cleanventilatinghoodsfrequently—Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood
orlter. Follow the manufacturers instructions for
cleaning hoods.
FORCERAMIC-GLASSCOOKTOPMODELS
•Donotcookonbrokencooktop—If cook top should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualied technician immediately.
•Cleancooktopwithcaution—If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOURCOOKTOP
•Knowwhichknobcontrolseachsurfaceheating
unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it
on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
•UseproperpansizeThis appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having at 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 element will also
improve efciency.
•Utensilhandlesshouldbeturnedinwardandnot
extendoveradjacentsurfaceelementsTo reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
•Neverleavesurfaceelementsunattendedathigh

The atovenrack or athandleovenrack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs. The
Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) is described later
in this section.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible positions between the standard postions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven
rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking
and when roasting large cuts of meat.
Removing, replacing & arranging racks
To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
To replace - t the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack
back into place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will
become very hot which can cause burns.

BEFORESETTINGOVENCONTROLS
Effortless™ Oven Rack system
Some models are equipped with a special oven rack
system that automatically partially extends the oven rack
from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to
your food items. This feature works whenever the oven
door is opened or closed.
To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied
oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a at rack with
a special dark coating on the left and right rack
sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely
cool before proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see
previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack
connector brackets are at the rear of the range and
pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the
oven door open and the oven rack in place, install
one end of the connector arm to the hole in the door
connector bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the
hole in the rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as
in Fig. 3). The oven rack may need to be adjusted in
or out in the rack position to match the length of the
connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the
connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point
upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should
now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be
sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing
the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out
of the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.
Never pick up hot oven rack parts. Make sure the
oven and oven racks are COMPLETELY cool and safe to
touch before attempting to assemble or disassemble the
Effortless™ Oven Rack.

REMOVEALLOVENRACKSandaccessoriesbefore
starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are
left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide
ability of the Effortless™ Oven Rack system will be
damaged and will cause oven racks to loose their shiny
nish. Remove ALLoven racks and clean according to
instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of
this manual.
Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should
be used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other
rack in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven
door from fully closing and may damage the oven
door, oven cavity or the door connector brackets.
If the rack system is not assembled with the connector
arms the Effortless™ Oven rack may be used in oven
rack positions 2 thru 7. Do not attempt to use the
Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.

NOTES
About the ceramic glass cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The design of the
ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element
underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
at-bottomed cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and their settings are all factors that will
affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond
the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements
may become hot enough to cause burns.
About the radiant surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly.
As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To
maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON
and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to
provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efcient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.
BEFORESETTINGSURFACECONTROLS
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the cookware (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
Element ON & hot surface indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the
backguard — the Element On indicator light and the Hot
Surface indicator lights (See Fig. 2).
The Element ON indicator lights are located on the
control panel above each radiant element control knob
and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A
quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy
check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The
Hot Surface indicator light located on the control panel
will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and
will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a
MODERATE level.

Fig. 2
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the
surface element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI
setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic
smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not at.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning and
Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care
Manual.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 3 & 5. For best results
when using a single oven at rack, place cookware on rack
positions 3 or 4.

Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of
food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across
the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which
will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will inuence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.
Fig. 2
Fig. 1
BEFORESETTINGSURFACECONTROLS
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on
the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element
available. The single radiant element will have one round
outline pattern shown (keep warm zone is designed to
keep food warm only). The dual radiant element is exible
because you may set just the smaller inner portion as a
single element or both inner and outer portions can be set
to heat together (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 3
Types of cooktop elements
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting point
of some cookware may be reached if left on the cooktop
empty and then can bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the
cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be sure to
follow all the cookware manufacturers suggestions when
using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Cookware should have at
bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface
heating element (See Fig. 2).
Check for atness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 3).

Single radiant surface elements (all models)
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant
surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (Refer to the
Suggested radiant surface element settings
table Fig. 1). Start most cooking operations on a
higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to nish
cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to
be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics
provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed (See Fig. 2). Each surface element provides
a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing
red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom
edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too
small for the surface heating area.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
The suggested settings found in Fig.1 below are based
when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Keepwarm(some models)
The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature
to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies,
casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe
dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat
cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the
warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain
quality.
For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the
cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
meltontothesurfaceandbeverydifculttoclean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended
for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.
Setting the keep warm control:
1. Push in either direction and turn the knob (See Fig
1). The temperatures are approximate, and are
designated by hi and lo. However, the control can be
set at any position between hi and lo for different
levels of warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The
keep warm zone will remain warm until the indicator
light turns OFF.
SETTINGSURFACECONTROLS
Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone
recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a
particular food is not listed, start with the medium level,
and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and
be sure to read all the information they have available as
well as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
•Use only quality at bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom
(see “Cookware material types” in the Before setting
surface controls section).
•Use only a completelyatbottomcanner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning using a ceramic cooktop.
•Makesurethediameterofthecannerdoes
notexceed1inchbeyondthesurfaceelement
markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller
diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass
cooktops.
•Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
•Use the highest heat seating when rst bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 differ-
ent surface cooking areas at the same time. This may
cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled

Quick Bake (some models)
BenetsoftheQuickBakefeature
— Foods will cook faster, saving time and energy.
— Multiple rack baking.
— No special pans or bakeware needed.
How Quick Bake works
Quick Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking
and browning results. It also gives better baking results
when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air ows around the food from all sides, sealing
in juices and avors. Meats cooked with Quick Bake
are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying
tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown
more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be
cooked faster and more evenly with Quick Bake.
Suggestions for Quick Bake
When baking
For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the
remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the
minimum recommended cook time.
When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 3 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).
When roasting
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Quick Bake.
Since Quick Bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook
time by 25% from the recommended cook time of
your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary,
increase cook time until the desired doneness is
obtained.
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will
prevent the air from circulating around the food.

Setting Quick Bake
The oven can be programmed to Quick Bake at any

Self-Cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a ne powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
SELF-CLEANING
(For models that have a visible bottom bake element
ONLY) To help remove excessive spills from the oven
bottom, the lower element may be tilted up from the front
of the element. Wait until the oven is completely cool and
remove the bottom oven rack before attempting to raise
the element. Do not to raise the lower element more than
4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
Fig. 1
Read before starting self-clean
CompletelyremoveALLOVENRACKS and ANY
ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid
possible damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are
not removed they may discolor. The Effortless™ Oven
Rack system must be removed during the self-clean
cycle to avoid damaging the glide ability of the rack.
Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop
including cookware, utensils and ANY
ALUMINUMFOIL. Aluminum foil will not withstand
high temperatures from a self-clean cycle.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking
results and may cause permanent damage to the
oven interior. During self-clean temperatures in the
oven can become hot enough to melt aluminum foil.
DO NOT use or spray oven cleaners or oven
protective coatings in or around any part of the oven
interior.
Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area
at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas
(See Fig. 1) heat sufciently to burn soil on. Clean
using soap and water before starting self-clean.
Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting self-clean. To clean, use hot,
soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can
cause heavy smoke or re when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig.
1). The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket. DO NOT use any
cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage to the door gasket.
DO NOT leave small children unattended near the
appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside
of the range can become very hot to the touch.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
DO NOT force the oven door open when self-clean is
active. This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use caution when opening the door after the
self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The
elements may still be hot and burns may occur if
these elements are touched before they have cooled
sufciently.

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
For light to moderate soil- Apply a few drops of
cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a
clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface.
Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no
residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop
for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil- Apply a few drops of glass-
ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub
the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-
scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not
use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to
the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff surface clean.
Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most
hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic
surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will
make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop
cleaning creams leave a protective nish on the glass to
help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the
cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface.
These marks should be removed immediately after the
cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream.
Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior
to future use. Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or
glass) with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch
the cooktop surface.
To maintain the cooktop appearance DO NOT:
Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.
Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a
pan.
Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
Cooktop maintenance
Cooktop cleaning
Removing plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or
melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage
(such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not
removed immediately. After turning the surface elements
OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt
and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow
the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or
burned on soils.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products
that have been specically designed for cooktops.
