IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surfaces of oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface cooking units may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other ammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufcient 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 oven door
window.
• Wear proper apparel — loose-tting or
hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other
ammable materials contact hot surfaces.
• Do not use water or our on grease res —
our may be explosive. Smother the re 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 re if allowed to become too
hot.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door , lower 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 interior 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 re.
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
• Storage in or on appliance — to avoid a re
hazard, ammable materials should not be
stored in an oven, near surface units or in the
storage drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven.
This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such
as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as
ammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE — to avoid
injuries or burns children should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where the
range is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the range including the
storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, lower oven or
warmer drawer.
WARNING
• Use 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.

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 sizeThis appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having at 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 efciency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elementsTo reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable 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 aming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch re. Pay particular attention
to the area around 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 lter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning hoods.
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 qualied 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.
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 GasketThe 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.

NOTES
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
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. Be sure to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
at-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.
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 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 more efcient surface cooking, turn the surface
control OFF several minutes before cooking is complete.
This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking
process.
Air circulation in the oven
For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the cookware (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the
surface element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI
setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic
smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not at.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care
& Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections
of this Use & Care Manual.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5. For best results
when using a single oven at rack, place cookware on rack
positions 2, 3 or 4.
on & hot surface indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of
surface element control indicator lights located on the
control panel — the on indicator and the hot surface
indicator lights.
The on indicator light (See Fig. 2) will glow when any
surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this
indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure
the surface controls are turned OFF. The hot surface
indicator light (See Fig. 3) will glow when any surface
cooking area becomes hot and will remain on until the
glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat will transfer from the element to the cookware
bottom. The most popular cookware materials available
are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of
food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across
the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which
will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will inuence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.
Fig. 2
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass cooktop. The
patterns on the ceramic glass will outline the size and type
of element available.
The single radiant element will have one round outline
pattern shown (keep warm zone is designed to keep food
warm only - on some models).
The dual radiant element (some models) has two outline
patterns. You may set just the smaller inner portion as
a single element or both inner and outer portions of the
element may be set to heat together. The control knobs
for these element types are shown below (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 3
Types of cooktop elements
Cookware should have at
bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface
heating element (See Fig. 2).

higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to nish
cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to
be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics
provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed (See Fig. 2). 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.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
The suggested settings found in Fig.1 below are based
when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Keep warm (some models)
The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature
to keep cooked foods for serving 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 keep warm zone. All food placed on the
keep warm zone should be covered with a lid 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 difcult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended
for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

are approximate (See Fig. 2), and are designated by
hi and lo. However, the control may be set at any
position between hi and lo for different levels of
warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the keep warm zone control
knob to OFF. The keep warm zone will remain warm
until the indicator light turns OFF.
Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will
not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always
use potholders or oven mitts when removing food
from the cooktop including the keep warm zone as
cookware and plates will be hot.
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 sufciently.
Do not place ammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch re if placed too close to
the surface elements.

Home canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and
be sure to read all the information they have available as
well as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
CAUTION
Use only quality at bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom
(see “Cookware material types” in the Before setting
surface controls section).
Use only a completely at bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning using a ceramic cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does
not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller
diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass
cooktops.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Quick bake (some models)
Quick bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking
and browning results. It also provides better baking
performance when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air ows around the food from all sides, sealing
in juices and avors. Meats cooked with quick bake are
juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more
evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be
cooked faster and more evenly with quick bake.
When roasting
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
quick bake.
Reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended
cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time.
If necessary, increase cook time until the desired
doneness is obtained.
Setting quick bake
The oven may be programmed for quick bake at any
temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The
factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F
(177°C).
To set quick bake:
1. Press quick bake. “— — —” appears in the display.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the or . The display
will show “350°F (177°C).” By pressing and holding
the or , the temperature can then be adjusted
in 5°F increments (1°C if the control is set to display
Celsius).
3. As soon as the or keypad is released, the
oven will begin heating to the selected temperature.
When the displayed temperature reaches the desired
baking temperature, the preheat indicator light will
turn OFF and the control will beep 3 times.
4. To cancel quick bake, press clear off keypad.
To change the oven temperature after quick bake
has started
1. Press quick bake key pad.
2. If necessary, press the or pad to increase or
decrease the oven set temperature .
When baking
For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the
remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the
minimum recommended cook time.
When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).
NOTES
When using quick bake cook time reductions may
vary depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
Layer cakes will have better results using the bake
feature.
If the oven door is opened when quick bake is active,
the fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a ne powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
CLEAN
(For models that have a visible bottom bake element
ONLY): To help remove excessive spills from the oven
bottom, the lower element may be tilted up from the
front of the element.
Wait until the oven is completely cool and remove the

Clean
IMPORTANT
Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY
ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid
possible damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are
not removed they may discolor.
Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop
including cookware, utensils and ANY
ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum foil will not withstand
high temperatures from a self-clean cycle.
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 may cause permanent damage to the
oven interior. During self-clean temperatures in the
oven can become hot enough to melt aluminum foil.
DO NOT use or spray oven cleaners or oven
protective coatings in or around any part of the oven
interior.
Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area
at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas
(See Fig. 1) heat sufciently to burn soil on. Clean
using soap and water before starting self-clean.
Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy
water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or re 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 lling) to remain on the surface as they
may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).
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 to the door gasket.
Read before starting self-clean
CAUTION
DO NOT leave small children unattended near the
appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside
of the range can become very hot to the touch.
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.
DO NOT force the oven door open when self-clean is
active. This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use caution when opening the door after the
self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to

CARE & CLEANING
Control panel
Control keypad membrane
Decorative trim (some models)
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate controls lock
(if equipped) and remove any knobs from panel (some models). Do not use
abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using
hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from
dishcloth before wiping control panel; especially when wiping around the
controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to
the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to
squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.
Control knobs (some models)
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trim
Aluminum, plastic or vinyl
trim
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difcult
soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil.
Leave on soil for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not
use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove
control knobs (some models), turn to OFF position; grasp rmly and pull
knob straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the at
sides of both knob and shaft; then push knob into place.
Porcelain enamel broiler pan and
broiler pan insert (if equipped)
Porcelain enamel parts
Remove excessive spillovers from oven bottom before starting self-clean.
Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket.
For very important prepartion information be sure to read all the instructions
in the self-cleaning section.
Oven interior
Gentle scubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove most
spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary,
cover difcult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40
minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a
soap-lled no-scratch cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to remain on the surface; they may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Oven racks
Oven door
Do not clean oven racks in oven using the self-clean cycle. Remove
oven racks and clean using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s
instructions. Thoroughly rinse and dry.
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven
door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the
oven door. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow
water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use oven
cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on
the outside of the oven door. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-
cleaning models the oven door gasket is made of a woven material which
is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
remove this gasket.
Ceramic cooktop
Stainless steel (some models)
Only use cleaners and polishes that are specically made for cleaning stain-
less steel. Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not
use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do
not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-free cloth. Always be sure
to wipe excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish stains may
occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils
with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse and dry using clean water and a
cloth.
See Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance in the Care & Cleaning section.

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
To maintain the cooktop appearance:
Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on
bottom; replace with clean cookware before using.
Do not use your ceramic 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 ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
For light to moderate soil - Apply a few drops of
cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a
clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface.
Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no
residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop
for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil - Apply a few drops of
cooktop cleaning cream directly to the soiled area. Rub the
soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch
cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the
pad 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.
Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most
hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic
surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will
make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop
cleaning creams leave a protective nish 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 or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch
the cooktop surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
Cooktop maintenance
Cooktop cleaning
Removing 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.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products
that have been specically designed for cooktops.
IMPORTANT

Aluminum foil and the cooktop - Use of aluminum foil
on a hot cooktop can damage the ceramic glass. Do not
use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil
to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
Aluminum utensils and the cooktop - Care must
be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when
using the cooktop, the utensil can become hot enough to
be damaged or destroyed, and may fuse to, break or mark
the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the
cooktop surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such
as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the
cooktop, making it more difcult 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.

Solutions to common problems BEFORE YOU CALL
Surface element does not heat cookware.
Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only at, evenly balanced, medium
or heavyweight quality cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans.
Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy &
medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly,
foods may burn easily.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance
must be accessible for service.
Surface element seems too hot or not
hot enough.
Incorrect control setting. Be sure the matching control is set for the surface
element that you are attempting to use or adjust power level setting.

Problem Solution
BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems
Oven smokes excessively when broiling.
Incorrect setting or food preparation. See Setting broil instructions in
“Setting Oven Controls” section.
Make sure oven door is open to broil stop position.
Food positioned too close to upper element. Reposition the food item
lower if necessary to provide proper clearance between the food & the
broil element. Try preheating the oven before boiling.
Food not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut
remaining fatty edges to prevent curling.
Broil pan and insert (some models) wrong side up and grease not
draining. Always place insert on top of broil pan with ribs up & slots
down to allow excess grease to drip into broil pan.
Do not use aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will trap grease, expose grease
to high temperatures and increase smoking.
Grease has built up on interior oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is
necessary if broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause
excessive smoking.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this may happen for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe
up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If ames or excessive
smoke are present see Setting broil instructions in the “Setting Oven
Controls” section for additional recommendations.
Self-cleaning cycle does not work.
Oven control not set properly for self-clean. Follow the instructions
provided in the Clean section of this manual.
Self-clean cycle was interrupted. Refer to the Clean section for more
detailed information.
Soil not completely removed after
running a self-cleaning cycle.
Dirty front oven frame outside oven door gasket area. These areas are
not within the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue.
Manually clean these areas before starting a self-clean cycle.
Excessive food spillovers inside oven. Wipe up spillovers before starting a
self-clean cycle.
Oven control not set properly. Review instructions for Quick bake in
“Setting Oven Controls” section.
