leveling leg is inserted into and fully

secured by the anti-tip bracket by

removing lower panel or storage d rawer.

For models with a warmer drawer, grasp

the top rear edge of the range and carefully

attempt to tilt it forward. Refer to the

Installation Instructions for proper anti-tip

bracket installation.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or

drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also

cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb or

play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door

may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other

injury.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if

equipped) for storage.

Do not store items of interest to children in

the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range.

Children climbing on the range to reach items could be

seriously injured.

Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or

Heating the Room.

• Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should

not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface

units or in the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic

and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels,

as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as

aerosol cans, on or near the range.

• Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left

alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use.

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the

appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE

UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF

THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements

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 touch these areas until they have had sufficient time

to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing

the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these

openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let

clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the

fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease

may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders on hot

surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or

other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

° Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be

stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the range during a

power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If the

range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will

begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the

clock and oven function.

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 Size--This appliance is equipped with one

or more surface units of different sizes. 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 element

will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable 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 Heat

Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--

Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the

sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan

on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if

equipped)--Stand to the side of the range when opening the

door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you

remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is

located under the left rear surface element if your model is

equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below

the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook

tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is

operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic

or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items

could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved

while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and

grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let

potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven.

Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan

and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from

the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this

manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or fire.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this

Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove

the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• 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.

• 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.

•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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease

that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area

underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to

accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the

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 filter. Follow

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

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 qualified

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 SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

requires the Governor of California to publish a list of

substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or

other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to such substances.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Cooktop radiant areas that heat

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface

,_ elements located below the surface of the glass.

,,_.i!ii_,_ is _i! _ The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the

_:_!;_i_,_ area of the surface element underneath. Make

sure the diameter of the pan matches the

., _,, _. diameter of the element outline on the cooktop

(See Fig 1). Heat is transferred up through the

_ surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only

_;_:_ flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type

and size of cookware, the number of surface

elements in use and the 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,

_ _i/tt _ _i,_t the element will cycle on and off. The heating

_t_ _t element retains enough heat to provide a

Rigl rear Rightfront uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn off the element

several minutes before cooking is complete.

This will allow residual heat to complete the

cooking process.

Figure 2

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop

cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You

Call checklist sections of this Use and Care Manual.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to

cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent

damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is

normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant

element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 11 for

using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).

Locations of the Radiant Surface

Elements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface

burners with 6 different wattage ratings. The

ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes

increases as the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the

cooktop as follows (See Figure 2); a smaller 6

inch radiant element located at the right rear

position; a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element

located at the right front position; a Warmer

Zone radiant element at the center rear position

(See page 12); and 2 (two) 8 inch radiant

elements located at both the left front and rear

positions. Located between left front and rear

elements is a Bridge radiant element.

The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using

the same knob that controls the left front radiant

element position. See pages 10 and 11 for more

information about using BRIDGE radiant

element.

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control CESEC') feature

includes 4 digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides

a numeric digital setting for 4 of the radiant surface element

positions on the cooktop, including shared settings at the left

front knob control position for both the left front radiant

element and the "Bridge" radiant element. Also the right front

control knob position shares settings for the dual radiant

element. These settings work the same way as normal knob

setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in

digital windows (Figures 1 thru 4).

The available ESEC Display Settings

The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2)

to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0

decrease in increments of .5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo

(Simmer settings) decrease in increments of .2 for more

precise settings of lower heat levels.

Figure 2

Use the chart (Fig. 5) to determine the correct setting for the

kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used

to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as

stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for

delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the

setting needed for best cooking results.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is

touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or

ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if

placed too close to the surface elements.

ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)

After using any of the single, dual or Bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will

become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for

some time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the

message "HE" (hot element) warning when the cooktop is stilltoo hot to touch (See Fig.1). If

the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned on again for use.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)

An error message will be displayed (flashing "Er') at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY

of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, be

sure to set all of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (See Fig. 2). This will reset

the surface controls.

Be sure to reset the clock (See page 16). Once the surface controls have been set to the

OFF positions and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls

should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the "Er"

message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact an authorized

servicer for assistance.

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The self-clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. Conversely

the ESEC feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature

is active. Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active, "- -" may appear in any display

window (See Fig. 3). If any of the surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, "HE"

will appear in the window instead of the "- -" message.

The Single Radiant Surface Elements

The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear (Fig. 5) and left

rear (Fig. 6) element positions. The BRIDGE element position can also be used as a single

element (See Bridge Element Operating Instructions on pages 10-11).

Figure 2

To Operate the Single Surface Elements:

Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface

element.

Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction

to the desired setting using the ESEC digital display

window for the desired setting (Fig. 4). Turn (do not push)

the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most

cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a

lower setting to finish cooking. 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

OFF £1

small for the surface heating area.

When cooking has completed, turn the surface control _el

knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The HE ill

message will appear after turning the control knob to OFF

if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the heating .......................................................................................................

The Bridge Surface Radiant Element

The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface

element located at the left front and middle (See Fig. 10)

positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with

rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware (Fig.

10). The element will maintain an even temperature

setting across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for

normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a

single element without the Bridge (See Fig. 8).

The Dual Surface Radiant Element

The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element

located at the rightfront (See Fig. 4) position. Symbols on the

control panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant

element will heat. The symbol shown in Figure 1 indicates that

only the inner coil will heat. The symbol shown in Figure 4

indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat. You may

switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface

element.

2. Push inand turn the control knob counterclockwise (See

Fig. 2) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Fig. 5) for

largercookware.

3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired

setting. Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if

needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting

and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control

knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The

HE message will appear after turning the control knob to

OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the

radiant heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. Note:

See page 8, Figure 5 for recommended control settings.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is

touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Figure 7 Figure 9

Bridge element operation symbols are located on the

control panel on each side of the Bridge element control

knob. These symbols indicate the direction to turn the

control knob when operating the Bridge element. The

symbol in Figure 7 indicates that only the single portion

of the Bridge element will heat (See Fig. 8). The symbol

in Figure 9 indicates that both the single and Bridge

portions of the element will heat together (Fig. 10). You

may switch from either of these settings at any time

during cooking with the Bridge element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See

Figs. 1 and 2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for

normal shaped cookware or clockwise (See Figs. 3 and 4)

for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.

3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired

setting. Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if

needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting

and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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. Please note that not all cookware

will fit the Bridge element correctly.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control

knob to OFF before removing the cookware. The HE

message will appear in the display after turning the control

knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on

until the radiant heating surface area has cooled

sufficiently.

The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with

the left rear single element. Because these elements have 2

different controls, one element can be used to cook while the

other element may be used to keep food warm (See Fig. 5).

Radiant surface elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may

still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is

touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Using Proper

Cookware

Cookware should have

flat bottoms that make

good contact with the

entire surface heating

element. Check for

flatness by rotating a

ruler across the bottom

of the cookware (See

Fig. 6).

Figure 6

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using

cookware as shown in Fig. 7.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence

the setting needed for best cooking results.

Operating the Warming Zone

The purpose of the Warming Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the Warming Zone 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 Warming Zone.

¸ii

@ @

OFF

Figure 1

All food placed on the Warming Zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil 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 difficult to clean. Use only plates, utensils and

cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warming Zone.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warming

Zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

To Set the Warming Zone Control:

1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The On indicator light will come on (See

Fig. 1 and 2). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and

LO. However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different

levels of heating (Fig.1).

2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warming Zone Hot surface indicator light

will remain on until the Warming Zone cools to a moderate level (See Fig. 1 and 2).

Temperature Selection

Refer to the table for recommended Warming Zone food settings (Fig. 3). 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.

The Warming Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough

to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the Warming Zone until the Warming Zone

Hot surface indicator light is off.

Air Circulation in the Oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple

racks, stagger cookware as shown.

For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must circulate

around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to

reach around the food.

Multiple Oven Racks

Arranging Warming Drawer Rack Positions

The rack can be used in 2 ways:

• In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example,

rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).

• In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or

pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Set the Warming Drawer rack in either position as shown below (Fig. 1).

To Operate the Warming Drawer

The purpose of the Warming Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold

food inthe Warming Drawer.

All food placed inthe Warming Drawer should be covered with a lid or

aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.

Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only

utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warming Drawer.

To Set the Warming Drawer Control:

The control is used to select the temperature of the Warming Drawer. It is

located on the control panel. To set the control, push in and turn the knob to

the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by

HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low).

1. Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.

2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer

will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.

3. When done, turn the control to OFF.

Warming DrawerTemperature Selection

Recommended Warming Drawer food settings are shown in Figure 3. If a

particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is

desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept

at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are

to be kept warm (for example, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls) use the HI

setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warming Drawer while in use.

Setting Convection Roast

The CONV ROAST pad feature is used when cooking with meat. This pad has been designed to give optimum

cook performance for roasting meats.

The CONVECTION ROAST pad combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to roast meats and poultry.

Preheating is not necessary for meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and

flavors. Foods are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside.

INSTRUCTIONS

To set the Convection Roast feature (example for

Convection Roast at 350°F):

1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.

2. Press . "MEATS" will flash and ,,...o,, will be displayed

Convection Roasting Instructions

When using the Convection Roast pad, use the broiler pan and insert along with the

roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help prevent

grease spatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.

To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease

spattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.

1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. See Arranging

Oven Racks in this Use & Care Manual.

2. Place the insert in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the insert allowing the

heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase

browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the

insert in the broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or cover the

insert with aluminum foil.

3. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See Fig. 4).

4. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.

Setting Convection Bake

The CONV BAKE pad controls

the Convection Bake feature. Use

the Convection Bake feature when

cooking speed is desired. The oven

can be programmed for Convection

baking at any temperature between

300°F (149 ° C) to 550°F (288 ° C).

Benefits of Convection Bake:

--Some foods cook up to 30% faster,

saving time and energy.

--Multiple rack baking.

--No special pans or bakeware

needed.

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

evenly and continuously within the oven (See Figure 1).

This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even

cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking

results when using two (2) or three (3) racks at the same

time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Most foods

cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more evenly

with Convection Bake.

General Convection Bake Instructions Figure2

1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as shown on page 37. Adjust the cook time for

desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked.

Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around

the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.

3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place

Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle:

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soil completely or

reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. These temperatures

are well above normal cooking temperatures.

1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before pre-cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning and while wiping up the residue after the self-

clean cycle.

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the

self-cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. 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.

Remove the Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Broiler Pan Insert, all utensils and any

aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

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 cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior

surface of the oven).

Oven racks should be removed, or else their finish will dull and their color turn slightly

blue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then

remove the racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small

amount of baby or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier back into their

positions.

Remove any excess spill-overs in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle.

To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spill-overs can cause heavy smoke or

fire 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 filling) to remain on

the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the

small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn

soil on. Clean with soap and water.

If at any time when setting the oven for the Self-Cleaning feature, the oven control

continuously beeps and the display shows "dr"; close the oven door (See Figure 1).

Figure 2

The bake element

may be tilted about

4 or 5 inches

to clean oven bottom

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven

bottom should be removed.

The bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front of

the bake element (See Fig. 2). This will allow easier access to the oven bottom

for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from

the resting position.

To Start Self-Clean Cycle

The CLEAN O pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean

cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.

So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

*It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for

heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).

During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave

small children unattended near the appliance; they may be burned if they touch the hot oven door surfaces.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when

opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or

steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Pan and Insert, Door solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-

Liner, Body Parts, soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and

Warming Drawer then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove

all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use

spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Oven Racks Oven racks should be removed from the oven during the self-clean cycle for cleaning.

When removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's

=_ instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and thefinish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the

sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad

oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).

Oven door To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the

door in water.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material,

on self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to

rub, damage or remove the gasket.

Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended "Cerama Brite Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner" to the

ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The

special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish 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 bottoms

can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything

metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a

cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods

directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or

hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chem ca y damage the ceram c-g ass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of "Cerama Brite Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner" directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-

Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is

cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of "Cerama Brite Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner" directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a 3M

Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge 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.

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.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

(cont'd)

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and

some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more

difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven

cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil

or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences

that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

OCCURRENCE

Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily.

Appliance must be accessible for

service.

Surface element too hot or not hot

enough.

Surface element does not heat.

Oven does not operate.

Entire appliance does not operate.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust

leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may

appear out of alignment if countertop is not level (See the Range Installation Instructions).

Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact a

carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.

Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are

square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

Incorrect surface control setting. Make sure the correct control is set for the surface area you

wish to heat.

Light-weight or warped cookware was used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or

heavy-weight cookware. Flat pans heat much better than warped pans. Cookware materials

and weight of the material affect heating results. Heavy and medium-weight pans heat

evenly. Because light-weight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

No electrical power to the appliance. Check steps under Entire Appliance Does Not

Operate in this Before You Call checklist.

Be sure the oven controls are set correctly for the desired function. See the Setting Oven

Controls section or Entire Appliance Does Not Operate in this Before You Call checklist.
