Model D shown Only - Figure 2
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions forceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the GeneraJ Care & CJeaning section
and Before You Cal checklist section of this Use and Care
Guide,
NOTE: Radiant elements have a Iimiter 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 fiat (Refer to page 12 under Selecting Surface Cooking
Utensils).
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the
surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when
the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal
and the glass will come back to its original white color
after it has completely cooled down. (White glass
cooktops only).
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.
Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the
element outline on the cooktop (See Figure 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 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 E_ements
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 efficient cooking, turn off the
element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will
allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface E_ements and
Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quickerand in
larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as
follows:
Model A (See Figure 1):
- Two dua! 5or7 inch radiant element at the right and left rear
position;
- Two dua! 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the rig ht and left front
position;
Model B (see Figure 1):
- A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;
- A 8 inch radiant element at the left rear position;
- A dua! 6 / 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A 6 inch radiant element located at the left front position.
Model C (see Figure 1):
- Two 6 inchradiant elements at the right and left roar position;
- A duaJ 9 / 12 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position.
Model O (See Figures ! and2):
- Two 6 inch radiant ebments at the right and bft rear position;
- A dual 9 / 12 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position;
- A Warmer Zone radiant element located between the right
and left rear position;

The electronic surface element control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature includes
digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital
setting for the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop. These
settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work
except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figs. 2 thru 5).
Radiant
surface elements may appear
to have cooled after they have
been turned off. A hot surface
indicator light will come on
and will continue to glow until
the glass cooktop has cooled
down to a moderate level. The
glass surface may still be
hot and burns may occur if
the glass surface is touched
before the indicator light has
turned off.
Do not pJace

The avaimab_e ESEC Display Settings
The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig, 3) to Lo
(Fig, 4) and OFF (Fig, 2).
Use the chart (on top of page) 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

and on top of the rack (for exampUe, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and
a casseroUe dish underneath),
, Unthe downward position to allow you to pUaceHght weight food items and
empty dishware (for exampUe,rolls or pastries and dinn er pUates)on the rack,
Set the Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown beUow(Figure 1),
Operating the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature, AUwaysstart with hot food, Utis not recommended to heat coUdfood
in the Warmer Drawer, AHfood pUacedin the Warmer Drawer should be covered
with a lid oraluminum foil to maintain quality, Do not use plastic wrap to cover
food. PJastic may meJt onto the drawer and be very difficuJt to cJean. Use
only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer,
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned,
Warmer Drawer Temperature Selection
Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 2, If a particular
food is not listed, start with the MED setting, Ifmore crispness is desired, remove
the lid or aluminum foil from the food, Most foods can be kept at serving

To Broil
Broil on one side until the food is brownedl turn and cook on the second side, Season and
serve, Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food,
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely, Time not only depends on the distance from
the element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred, The
first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second, Frozen meats also require
additional time,
Broiting Tips
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler,
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foit. The
exposed grease couM ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven,
if the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher, DO NOT
put water or flour on the fire, Flour may be explosive,
Grid

Broiler CJean-UpTips:
* To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil, DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil,
* To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed, Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot, Pour off grease, Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water,
* Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use, if necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads, Heavy scouring

Cooktop Cleaning - Porcelain enamel Cooktop Models
Porcelain ename_ cooktop c_eaning instructions (some modets)
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the cooking surface.
Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.
DO NOT use commercia! oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop, if food spills and grease spatters
are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration,
Daily Cleaning
For normal soiJ:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.
3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
For heavy, burned-on soit:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia.
Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
3. if any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean
damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop
cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.
For sugary spiHovers:
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface, Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop
is still hot, Use caution when following the steps below,
1, Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately,
2, Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth,
3, Allow the cooktop to cool, Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil,

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining yo,r Ceramic glass cOoktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, appUythe recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cbaning Creme to the ceramic
surface, Cban and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad, This wHUmake cbaning easier when soiled from cooking, The
speciaU cooktop cleaning cream haves a protective finish on the gUassto heUpprevent 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 immediateJy 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 metaJ or gJass 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, or they may crack it,
_ 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
_chemically damage the ceramic glass surface,
C_eaning Recommendations for the Ceramic G_ass Cooktop
For Jight to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CERAblA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop, Use a paper towel or a Multi=Purpose No
Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface, Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no
residue, Do not use the sponge you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose,
For heavy, burned on soil:
First, clean the surface as described above, Then, 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,
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use any scrub pad
other than a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge,
Ptastie 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 OFE use a razor blade
scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illus-
trated), Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils,
22
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (Continued)
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
, Do not use abrasive cJeaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some
nyJon 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.
o Do not use dirty sponges, clothe or paper towets, as they can leave soil or tint
on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
Specia! Caution for Aluminum Foit and Atuminum Cooking Utensils
o AJuminum foit
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circum=
stances,
o AJuminum utensils
Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots
or pans are used. Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.
Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (StainlessSteel models only)
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the
appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the GeneraJ Care & Cteaning section

C_eaning the Seff-C_ean Oven (some mode_s)
Adhere to the following cJeaning precautions:
- AHow the oven to cooUbefore cbaning.
- Wear rubber gbves when cbaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the serf-dean cycb, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch, DO NOT have
small children unattended near the appliance,
The heaUth of some birds is extremeUy sensitive to the fumes given off during the seff-cbaning cycb of any
range, Move birds to another well ventilated room,
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL
pad, Wait until the oven is cool,
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven, DO NOT
clean the oven door gasket, The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal, Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket, DO NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface,
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely

Preparing the Oven for Self-CJeaning
1. Remove all excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers 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 tomatoes, sauerkraut,
fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull
spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration).
These areas heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean
with soap and water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do
not withstand high cleaning temperatures
4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed, if they go through
the clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed
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.
What to Expect During Cteaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of
metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear
through the oven vent, located on the top of the control panel.
if heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual, This is
normal and safe and should not cause alarm, if available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle,
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor,
Setting the Controls for Self-Clean Cycb
For the setting of the clean cycle, refer to Timer or Electronic Oven Control Guide.
