IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE 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 OR WALL, 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 properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.
■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left
alone or unattended in area where the range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the range.
■
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the range.
■
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a 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 heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
■ DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may 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, except as suggested in
the manual. Improper 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 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.
■ 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 technician immediately.
■ Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam 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 flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HIGH and
LOW. Push in and turn to setting.
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls (on some models)
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reect heat back to the cooktop. They also
help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) over the coil
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess
heat, causing the burner bowl to change color.
Ceramic Glass (on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when
an element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle
on and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also randomly
cycle off and back on again even while in High to keep the
cooktop from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear
to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. Asthe glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting,
abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Baking soda and
a non scratch heavy duty scrub sponge are also recommended
for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or
harsh chemicals for cleaning. Refer to the “Range Care” section
for additional information.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each
use to remove all soils.
■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping
a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to 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
couldbreak when the lid is removed.
■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
can cause pitting and permanent marks.
■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough nishes
on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on
the cooktop.
■ Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on
the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be
removed completely.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area
may become hot.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any
partof the entire cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop
asacutting board.
■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.
■ Use at-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efciency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed,
ordented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
■ Determine atness 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
thecookware.
■ 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.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly
on the cooktop.
Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning (on some models)
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting,
abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Baking soda and a
non scratch heavy duty scrub sponge are also recommended for
stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or
harsh chemicals for cleaning. Refer to the “Range Care” section
for additional information.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each
use to remove all soils.
Cooktop On Indicator Light
The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel.
When any control knob on the console panel is turned on, the
Cooktop On indicator light will glow.
Hot Surface Indicator Light (on some models)
On ceramic glass models, the hot surface indicator light is located
on the console panel.
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 is turned off.
Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)
The Dual Zone cooking element offers exibility depending on the
size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as
a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides, and a
well-tting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough nishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and
coppermay be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on
thesurfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat
is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick nish
has thesame characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick nish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under
thebroiler.
Check for atness 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.
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
formost cooking tasks.
■ May leave aluminum residues,
which may be diminished if cleaned
immediately after cooking.
Cast iron ■ Heats slowly and evenly.
■ Good for browning and frying.
■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.
■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch
thecooktop.
Ceramic or
ceramic glass
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.
■ Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
■ May scratch the cooktop.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Copper ■ Heats very quickly and evenly.
■ May leave copper residues, which may
be diminished if cleaned immediately
after cooking.
■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond
tothe cooktop if overheated.
Earthenware ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Use on low heat settings.
■ May scratch the cooktop.
Porcelain
enamel-on-steel
or castiron
■ See stainless steel or cast iron.
■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without the
metal base may bond to the cooktop if
overheated.
Stainless steel ■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.
■ A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even heating.
Use at-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy
efciency. The cookware should be about the same size as the
cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not
extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.
Home Canning
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface
or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods,
alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between
batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend
more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area
orelement.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements
atthe same time.
■ On ceramic glass models, use only at-bottomed canners
toavoid damage to the cooktop and elements.
■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
ofce or refer to published home canning guides. Companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.

Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide
consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any
point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow
to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate
reading due to this cycling.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can
be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be
changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display
shows the current setting, for example “0°F CAL” or “00.”
2. Press the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow pads to increase
or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C or 6°C) amounts.
The adjustment can be set between 30°F (17°C) and -30°F
(-17°C).
3. Press START.
Sabbath Mode (on some models)
The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting
until turned off. A Timed Bake can also be set to keep the oven on
for only part of the Sabbath. The Oven Control Lockout Feature
(if present) will be disabled during the Sabbath mode. After the
Sabbath mode is set, no tones will sound, the display will not
show the temperature, the Kitchen Timer mode will be canceled
(ifactive), and only the following keypads will function:
■ “Up” or “down” arrow pads
■ Cancel
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not
turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off
immediately.
When power is restored after a power failure, the oven will return
to Sabbath Mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake
elements off until the Cancel keypad is pressed.
Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time returns the oven to the
normal cooking mode (not Sabbath Mode compliant).
Before entering the Sabbath Mode, it must be decided if the oven
light is to be on or off for the entire Sabbath Mode period. If the
light is on when entering Sabbath Mode, it will remain on for the
entire time Sabbath Mode is in use. If the light is off when entering
Sabbath Mode, it will remain off for the entire time Sabbath Mode
is in use. Opening the oven door or pressing the Oven Light
keypad will not affect the oven light once Sabbath Mode has been
entered.
If the oven has the Convection Bake feature, the oven light is
controlled by a separate Oven Light switch on the console. If the
oven light is n when entering the Sabbath mode, it will remain on
for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. For the oven light to
be off during the Sabbath mode, the light bulb must be removed
from the oven prior to entering the Sabbath mode. Not performing
these steps will cause the oven light to turn on when the oven
door is opened, resulting in the oven being not Sabbath compliant.
On the Holiday, the oven temperature can be changed once the
oven is in Sabbath mode by pressing the “up” or “down” arrow
keypad. The oven temperature will change 25°F (14°C) each time
the keypad is pressed. The display will not change and there will

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
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Preheating
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once
100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected
temperature will appear on the display.
Broiling
Leave the door open 6" (15 cm) at the broil stop position to ensure
proper broiling temperature. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes before
putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe.
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of
the oven rack.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the rst few times the oven
isused or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, sh
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 4
or 5 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware”
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
