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 REDUCETHE
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, OPEN
THE OVEN DOOR, REMOVE A
SCREW AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH
SIDE TRIM, REMOVE THE SIDE
TRIMS, AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-
TIP DEVICES ARE ENGAGED TO
CABINETS WITH TWO SCREWS
THROUGH THE MOUNTING HOLES
IN THE MOUNTING RAIL OF THE
OVEN.
• 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 quali-
fied technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 cook-
top 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
tem peratu re.
• 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 adja-
cent 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.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
• 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 off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flame.
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.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start
cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.
RECOMMENDED USESETTING
HI
MED-HI or 6-8
MED or 5
• To start food cooking.
• To bring liquid to a boil.
• To hold a rapid boil.
• To quickly brown or sear meat.
• To maintain a slow boil.
• To fry poultry or meat.
iiiii
• To make pudding, sauce, or gravy.
MED-LO or 2-4 • To stew or steam food.
• To simmer food.
LO • To keep food warm. Set the heat higher or lower within the
LO (or 1) band to keep food at the temperature you want.
• To maintain liquid just below simmer.
Using the ceramic glass
cooktop (Model RS696PXG)
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 tem-
perature 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, 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.

Home canning information
Center over ............. Pan
surface cooking
Surface
..............................cooking area
• Use flat-bottomed canners on all types
of cooktops, especially ceramic glass.
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 models, 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.
Optional canning kit
(Coil element models)
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 authorized service
company.

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 • See cast iron and stainless steel.
or enamel-on-cast iron
Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware
provides even heating.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
iiii iii::w iiiiiii:!!iii
• 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 fiat-bottomed
cookware that makes good contact with
the surface cooking area. Cookware with
rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some
porcelain 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 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 that has boiled dry, on a hot
surface cooking area. The cookware
could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or the surface cooking area.

Positioning racks and pans
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:
i...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
1 pan In center of the
oven rack.
...................................................................................................................side by Side or..........................................
slightly staggered.

or baking pans browning • 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.
NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil
or other liners. It
could affect the
oven surface as
well as the quality
of your baking.
• Do not cover
the entire rack
with aluminum
foil. It will reduce
air circulation and
give you poor cooking results.
® Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from
pies or casseroles by placing 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.

Roasting meats and poultry
• For even cooking, place the meat on a
rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat
out of the drippings and allows the heat to
circulate better.
• Use a meat thermometer for the most
accurate aloneness. Insert it so the tip is in
the center of the largest muscle or thickest
portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure
the thermometer is not touching bone, fat,
or the bottom of the pan.

Saving energy
• To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door
as little as possible.
• Use a timer to keep track of cooking time.
• Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the oven by cooking more than one
food at a time, or baking while the oven is
still hot after cooking a meal.
Although your new oven is properly adjusted
to provide accurate temperatures, it may
cook faster or slower than your old oven. If
you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting
results, you can change the offset
temperature by following the steps below.
NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature
with a thermometer. Opening the oven door
will lower the oven temperature and give
you an inaccurate reading. Also, the ther-
mometer temperature reading will change
as your oven cycles.
1. Press and hold BAKE for
5 seconds.
(----"1
The display will show the current offset I _..._ I
temperature, for example "0," if you have
not previously adjusted the temperature.
(factory setting of "0")
2. Set new offset temperature.
Press • to raise the temperature or • to
lower the temperature in 10°F amounts.
You can set the temperature change to
as low as -30°F or as high as +30°F. A
minus (-) sign will appear before the
number when decreasing the tempera-
ture setting to show the oven will be
cooler by the displayed amount. There
is no sign in front of the number when
increasing the temperature setting.

3. Enter the adjustment.
(time of day)
How to determine the amount
of adjustment needed:
The chart at the right tells you how much
to adjust the offset temperature to get the +10°F/ +6oc
desired cooking results. You can determine
cooking results by the amount of browning,
moistness, and rising times for baked foods.
To display temperatures in °C
instead of °F:
Press and hold CUSTOM BROIL for 5
seconds. A short tone will sound
and the temperatures will be dis-
played in °C. To switch back to °F,
repeat the instructions above.
NOTE: The temperature display will not be
shown when switching from OFto oC and
back. The correct temperature display will
appear the next time you press a cook
function command pad.

1. Position rack.
You need to place the rack so that the
surface of the food is at least 3 inches
away from the broil element. See
"Broiling guidelines" later in this section.
2. Put food on broiler pan and
place in center of oven rack.

3. Close door.
NOTE: Do not keep the door open as on
other electric ovens. Unlike other electric
ovens, the broil element will stay on only
with the door closed. This gives you the
high heat you need for broiling. However,
if you leave the door open, the broil
element will go off.
4. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

To custom broil at a lower
temperature: @
• If food is cooking too fast, press
CUSTOM BROIL pad and press the •
Temp pad until "325°F '' shows on the small
display.
NOTE: If the Temp pad is held down,
the temperature will change faster.
• If you want food to broil slower from SS
the start, press CUSTOM BROIL and
press the • Temp pad so a temperature L.___..I
between 170°F and 500°F (75°C and
260°C) shows on the small display.
Lower temperature settings let the broil
heating element cycle and slow cooking
results. The lower the temperature, the I A I
slower the cooking.
NOTE: Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped
pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook
better if you use lower broiling
temperatures.

• 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.

The electronic MEALTIMER control will turn
the oven on and off at times you set, even
when you are not around.
Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for
foods which do not require a preheated
oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do
not use delayed time cooking for cakes,
cookies, etc. - they will not rise properly.
This section discusses two methods for
starting baking/roasting now and stopping
automatically later, and three methods for
starting and stopping baking/roasting
automatically. Read this section carefully
to choose which method(s) is best for you.
Before using the electronic
MEALTIMER control, make sure the
clock is set to the correct time of day.
(See the "Setting the clock" section.)

Using the Self-Cleaning
Cycle (MODELS RS675PXG AND RS696PXG)
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!!i!!!illl_:ii!iii!_,iiii_¸¸O_iiii¸¸'_i_!ili!!__ii_'¸_,_iliiiiiii_,_Jiiii_!i:i:ii__ii_il_i!i!!i__ili¸''i!ill
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,
make sure you:
• DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket.
Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting may
result.
• 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, etching, pitting, or
faint white spots.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can

• Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen
well ventilated by opening a window or

NOTES:
• 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 cook-
top. They may 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.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat
to burn away soil and grease. During the
cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it
does for normal baking or broiling. This high
heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns
it away.
Your oven is preset for a 3_-hour Self-
Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust
the cycle time to the amount of soil in your
oven. You can set the cycle anywhere
between 21/2and 4_ hours. (See "Setting the
controls.")
The graph at the right is representative
of a normal, 3_-hour Self-Cleaning cycle.
Note that the heating stops _ hour before
the 3_-hour setting is up to cool the oven
enough so the door can be unlocked.

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

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.
