IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
SAFETY INFORMATION
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range,
the range must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip bracket. See installation
instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and
engaged properly, look underneath the
range to see that the rear leveling leg is
engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel
can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible,
slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to
the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under
the anti-tip bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this
procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.
WARNING
Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
•
Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding th
e
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.

For Models With a Radiant Glass Cooktop
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is
used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is
normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot
or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as
the glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your
selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface
even when the cooktop is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To
avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units
when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the
surface unit until it has cooled completely.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop
USING THE RANGE: Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Recommended
Stainless Steel
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop
is cleaned immediately. However, do
not let these pots boil dry. Overheated
metal can bond to glass cooktops. An
overheated copper bottom pot will leave
a residue that will permanently stain the
cooktop if not removed immediately.
Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Avoid/Not Recommended
Enamel (painted) on Steel:
Heating empty pans can cause
permanent damage to cooktop glass.
The enamel can melt and bond to the
ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
Poor performance. Will scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Cast Iron:
QRWUHFRPPHQGHG²XQOHVVGHVLJQHG
specifically for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb
heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,

Oven Racks
Recommended rack positions for various types of
foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For
example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.
Extension Racks (on some models)
Always pull the rack out by its upper front rail to its fully
open position, when placing or removing cookware.
If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the
racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your
oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in
the side tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite
lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom
tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the
rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
To order additional graphite lubricant, see the
Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end
of this manual.
To Remove An Extension Rack:
1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the
oven so that side paddles on the rack disengage from
the oven support.
2. Slide the rack toward you to the bump (stop position)
on the rack support.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the
sliding rack, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To Replace An Extension Rack:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the
sliding rack.
2. Place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the

Cooking Modes
USING THE RANGE: Cooking Modes
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the
type and quantity of food you are preparing. When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and
pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe
recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines
are provided, center food in the oven.
Bake
The bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This
mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but
also from the upper element to cook food. To use this
mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature, and
then press Start. Preheating is generally recommended
when using this mode.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended for
baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode
uses heat primarily from the rear element, when available,
but also heat from the upper and lower elements, along
with air movement from the convection fan to enhance
cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto
Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the
temperature when using this mode. Baking time might
be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be
expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the
Convection Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then
press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses
heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements, when
available, along with air movement from the convection
fan to improve browning and reduce cooking time. It is not
necessary to convert temperature. Check food earlier than
the recipe suggested time when using this mode or use
a meat probe. To use this mode press the Convection
Roast pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. It
is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
Broiling is available in both ovens. For better broiling,
the lower oven is recommended. When broiling in the
XSSHURYHQWKHGRRUVKRXOGUHPDLQ&/26(':KHQ
broiling in the lower oven, the door should remain OPEN.
0RQLWRUIRRGFORVHO\ZKLOHEURLOLQJ8VHFDXWLRQZKHQ
broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to
the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the
possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center
food below the broil heating element.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack
positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food.
Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared
surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and
foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on
a rack position farther from the broiler or by using Broil Lo.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper

DQGRUIRRGV\RXSUHIHUOHVVGRQHRQWKHLQWHULRU7RXVH
this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start.
It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
element to cook food thoroughly while also producing
VXUIDFHEURZQLQJ8VH%URLO/RIRUWKLFNHUFXWVRIPHDW
DQGRUIRRGVWKDW\RXZRXOGOLNHFRRNHGDOOWKHZD\
through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and
then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot food hot, it is not
intended to heat cold food. To use this mode, press the
Warm pad then press Start. Preheating is not required.
Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover
foods that should be crisp. It is recommended, for food
quality, that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours.

IMPORTANT: 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.
On Some Models:
The surface units are automatically disabled during the
self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls
are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle.
Any surface unit that is set to an “on” position while the
self-clean cycle is operating will automatically come on
after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in
an “on” unattended surface unit. Wait until the self-clean
cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.
Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.
Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity
during self clean.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Metal Marks and Scratches
1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your
cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop
surface.
These marks are removable using the ceramic
cooktop cleaner with a non-scratch cleaning pad for
ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper
are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black
discoloration on the cooktop.
This should be removed immediately before heating
again or the discoloration may be permanent.
NOTE: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness
that would scratch the cooktop.
Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your
cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
