Important Safety Instructions
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 i
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 ofthe 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 agood 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 spiliovers 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

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. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-
bottomed cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their
settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas
surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

(some models) (all models) (some models)
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As
the temperature rises, the element wilt 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. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating
element, concentrating heat in the heating zone. For
efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat
to complete the cooking process.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructionsfor ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before
You Call checklist sections of this Use and Care Guide.
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.

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
Your range is equipped with two different surface control lights that will glow on your range-- the
Element On indicator light and a Hot Surface indicator light. The Element On located on the control
panel, will glow when any surface element is turned on. A quick glance at this light after cooking is an
easy check to be sure ait surface controls are turned off. The Hot Surface indicator light, located on
the control panel, wilt glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass
cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish
cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use
the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. 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.
When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the cookware.
Note: the Element On indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A
quick glance at the indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all

Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone Control
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold
food on the Warmer Zone.
All food placed on the Warmer 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 dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop
use on theWarmer Zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the Warmer Zone will not glow red
when it is hot.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone Control
1. To set the control, push in either direction and turn the knob. 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.
2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warmer Zone will remain warm
until the hot surface indicator light goes off.
Temperature Selection - Refer to the chart at the side column for
recommended heating levels. 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.

Surface Cooking
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.l).
Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Fig. 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used wilt influence
the setting needed for best cooking results.
Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the
surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool,
the food wilt absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is
too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center
will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too
much food at once as the food will neither brown nor
cook properly.

The _) pad feature is used when cooking with meat. This pad has been designed to give optimum cook performance
for roasting meats. The CONV 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.

Convection Roasting Instructions
When using the _) pad, use the broiler pan and insert along with the roasting rack.
The broiler pan wilt 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 Guide.
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).

Bake
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking
results when using 2 or 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.

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

.
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).
4.
Remove any excess spiltovers inthe oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To
clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke orfire 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 centerofthe oven bottom. These areas heat sufficientlyto burn soiton. Clean
with soap and water.
If at any time when setting the oven for the Self-Cleaning featu re, the oven control continuously
beeps and the display shows "dr"; close the oven door (See Figure 1).

FEATURE OVERVIEW
Starting the Self-Clean Cycle
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
The SELF CLEAN _ 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 ofthe range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave
small children unattended near the appliance; they may be burned ifthey 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.

General Care & Cleaning
Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to using yourcooktopfor the firsttime, applythe recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) to the ceramic
surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This wilt 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 inthe kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop
surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass V_
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.
_'!_,v*','-lq#ll`'[cllDO 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.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop@ Cleaning Creme 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 iscleaned thoroughly, leaving
no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops ofCookTop@ Cleaning Creme directly to thesoiled area. Rub thesoiled area usinga 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.
_lrt_"_'_l"J"_'_ Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose
No Scratch Scrub Sponge.
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.

Before You Call
Solutions to Common Problems
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 POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Range is not level. 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 oven rack is level.
Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square
and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make
must be accessible for service, appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Oven control beeps continuously with no
indicator lights flashing. (If model is
equipped with a display F1, F3 or F9 will
show.)
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven control. Among its
many features is afull time oven circuit diagnostics system. The control constantly
monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they
are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the control will
immediately stop operation, and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1,
F3or F9 in the display window, ifequipped). Electronic control has detected a fault
condition, press STOP/CLEAR to clear the display and stop the beeping.
Reprogram oven, iffault recurs, record fault number, press STOP/CLEAR and

Surface element too hot or not hot enough. Incorrect control setting. Make surethe correct controlis on for the surface unit to be used.
Surface element does not heat. Lightweight orwarped pans used. Use onlyflat, evenlybalanced, medium or heavyweight
cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of
the material affect heating. Heavy and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because
lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in
this Before You Call checklist.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.
Entire appliance does not operate.
Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.
