IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electric

shock, serious injury or death.

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.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure

can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

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 Freestanding Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, remove the

storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath the range

to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On models without

a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip the range forward. The

bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it

does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. 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.

For Slide-In Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, remove the

storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath the range to see that

the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket.

For Drop-In Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, lower

the oven door and gently apply medium force at the handle end until

movement of the range is detected. Continue pressing until the anti-tip

bracket is engaged and movement stops. A small amount of

movement is acceptable at the back of the range top, but it should be

stable and not tip once the anti-tip bracket is engaged. If it does not,

the bracket must be reinstalled.

If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase,

call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call

1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket,

visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

■ Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described

in this Owner’s Manual.

■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded

by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided

installation instructions.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your

range unless it is specifically recommended in this

manual. All other servicing should be transferred to a

qualified technician.

■ Before performing any service, unplug the range or

disconnect the power supply at the household

distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off

the circuit breaker.

■ Do not leave children alone—children should not be left

alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in

use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand

on any part of the appliance.

■ CAUTION:Do not store items of interest to

children above a range or on the backguard of a

range—children climbing on the range to reach items

could be seriously injured.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot

holders.

■ Never use your appliance for warming or heating the

room.

■ Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or

the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be

hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

other flammable materials contact the surface units,

areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of

the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other

surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to

cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the

cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,

surfaces near the opening and crevices around the

oven door.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could

build up and the container could burst, causing an

injury.

■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or

control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do

not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or

cuts may occur.

■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an

internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an

internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these

temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

■ Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or

near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders,

linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or

other flammable vapors and liquids.

■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while

using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they

contact hot surfaces, causing severe burns.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials

accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or

on the cooktop may ignite.

■ Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a

flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming

pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely

with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a

multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

■ If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the

fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or

by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

■ If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the

oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

■

Never leave the surface units unattended at medium

or high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■

Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed

to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite,

resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding

cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to monitor oil temperature.

■

To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount

of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking

frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

■

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating

element. The use of undersized cookware will expose

a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may

result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

■

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable

for cooktop service; others may break because of the

sudden change in temperature.

■

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a

container should be turned toward the center of the

range without extending over nearby surface units.

■

When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the

fan on.

■

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass

surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the

controls have been turned off.

■

Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may

penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of

electric shock. Contact a qualified technician

immediately.

■

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can

be scratched with items such as knives, sharp

instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on

clothing.

■

Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire

on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If

the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may

ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is

turned off may cause them to ignite also.

■

Use CERAMA BRYTE

ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and

CERAMA BRYTE

Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light

goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth

on a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some

cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to

a hot surface. Note: Sugar spills are an exception.

They should be scraped off while still hot using an

oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass

cooktop section for detailed instructions.

■

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on

the cleaning cream label.

■

Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units.

Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the

surface units in an oven. Doing so may cause them to

fail, presenting a burn or fire hazard.

■

To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock,

always be certain that the controls for all surface units

are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before

attempting to lift or remove a coil surface unit.

■

Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in

place. Their absence during cooking could damage

range parts and wiring.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans. Foil can

trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and

a shock or fire hazard.

■

Stand away from the range when opening the oven

door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns

to hands, face and/or eyes.

■

Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■

Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the

oven may ignite.

■

Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.

If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot

holder contact hot heating element in oven.

■

When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,

follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■

Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when

loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps

prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door

and oven walls.

■

Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or

food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an

oven can ignite.

■

Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil

can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the

product and a shock or fire hazard.

The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven.

Follow these instructions for safe operation.

■

Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,

shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the

oven. Only gray porcelain-coated oven racks may be

left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other

parts, such as drip pans or bowls.

■

Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and

food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease

may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.

■

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven

off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced

by a qualified technician.

■

Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to

rub, damage or move the gasket.

■

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 use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil

can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product

and a shock or fire hazard.

■

The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot

cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will

grow in food while it is below 140°F. Do not put cold

food in warming drawer. Do not heat food for more

than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may

result in foodborne illness.

■

Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or

combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.

■

Do not touch the heating element or the interior

surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot

enough to cause burns.

■

Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer

a crack and let hot air or steam escape before

removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam that

escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■

Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower drawer. The

foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance of

the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the

drawer bottom. Damage from improper use of

aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty.

About the radiant surface units…

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.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to

maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the

oven or surface on the glass surface when

the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off,

the glass cooktop retains enough heat to

continue cooking. To avoid over-cooking,

remove pans from the surface units when

the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything

on the surface unit until it has cooled

completely.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop

because it can scratch the glass—the glass

is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

■ Water stains (mineral deposits) are

removable using the cleaning cream or

full-strength white vinegar.

■ use of window cleaner may leave an

iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning

cream will remove this discoloration.

■ Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.

If they drop onto the cooktop, they can

cause damage.

■ Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

SURFACE

COOKING

Never cook directly on the glass.

Always use cookware.

OFF CENTER

Always place the pan in the center of

the surface unit you are cooking on.

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature

limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass

cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the units

off for a time if:

■ The pan boils dry.

■ The pan bottom is not flat.

■ The pan is off center.

■ There is no pan on the unit.

Temperature Limiter

DRAGGING

Selecting types of cookware.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

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:

recommended

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.

Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered

completely with porcelain enamel, this

cookware is recommended. Caution is

recommended for cast-iron cookware

that is not completely covered with smooth

porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the

glass-ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Home Canning Tips:

Be sure the canner is centered over the

surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

Use recipes and procedures from

reputable sources. These are available

from manufacturers such as Ball

and

Kerr

and the Department of Agriculture

Extension Service.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use

caution when canning.

Check pans for flat bottoms by

using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved,

ridged or warped bottoms are

not recommended.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-

bottomed wok. They are available at your

local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings. Use

of these types of woks, with or without the

ring in place, can be dangerous.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will

cause a buildup of heat that will damage

the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such

woks without the ring. You could be seriously

burned if the wok tips over.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.

Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster

than other metals. Cast-iron and coated

cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat,

but generally cook evenly at low to medium

heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly

if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be

flat on the bottom. Match the size of the

saucepan to the size of the surface unit.

The pan should not extend over the edge

of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Not over 1 inch

1″

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven

bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and

upset the performance of the oven. Foil

can melt and permanently damage the

oven bottom. Damage from improper use

of aluminum foil is not covered by the

product warranty

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing

a sheet on a lower rack, several inches

below the food .Do not use more foil than

necessary and never entirely cover an

oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at

least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent

poor heat circulation.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Using the oven.

Most recipes for baking have been

developed using high fat products such

as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not

give the same results as with a higher

fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies,

pastries, cookies or candies are made with

low fat spreads. The lower the fat content

of a spread product, the more noticeable

these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled

“margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by

weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand,

contain less fat and more water. The high

moisture content of these spreads affects

the texture and flavor of baked goods. For

best results with your old favorite recipes,

use margarine, butter or stick spreads

containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

If your range is connected

to 208 volts, rare steaks

may be broiled by preheating

the broiler and positioning

the oven rack one position

higher.

For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend

venting your kitchen with an open window or

using a ventilation fan or hood.

Remove the racks, any broiler pan, broiler

grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from

the oven.

The oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they

will darken, lose their luster and become hard

to slide.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven

protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus

the high clean cycle temperatures may

damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside

the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned

by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-

filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft

Scrub

. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass

material of the oven door gasket cannot

withstand abrasion. It is essential for the

gasket to remain intact. If you notice it

becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in

place and the oven light is off.

CAUTION: The grates and

drip pans (if so equipped) should never be

cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or

oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning

■ If the racks become hard to slide, apply a

small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil

to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the

oven racks with the paper towel.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning

You can set the oven control to delay-start

the oven, clean for a specific length of time

and then turn off automatically.

Make sure the clock shows the correct time

of day.

Follow the directions in the Before a Clean

Cycle section.

Latch the door.

NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is

too hot, you will not be able to slide the latch.

Allow the oven to cool.

Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.

Touch the + or – pads to set the

Clean Time.

The Clean Time is preset for 4 hours and 20

minutes. You can change the Clean Time to

any time between 3 and 5 hours, depending

on the amount of soil in your oven. If a

different Clean Time is desired, touch

the + or – pads until the desired Clean Time

is displayed.

Touch the START TIME pad.

Change the Start Time by touching the + or –

pads. The start time will appear in the display.

Touch the START/ON pad.

The self-clean cycle will automatically begin

at the time set.

While the oven is self-cleaning, you can touch

the CLOCK pad to display the time of day.

To return to the clean countdown, touch

the SELF CLEAN pad.

The oven shuts off automatically when

the clean cycle is complete, and 0:00 will flash

in the display.

Slide the latch handle to the left as far

as it will go and open the door.

To Stop a Clean Cycle

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Wait until the oven has cooled below the

locking temperature to unlatch the door. You

will not be able to open the door right away

unless the oven has cooled below the locking

temperature.

Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

The oven door is removable for cleaning.

Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure

the oven is completely cool.

To remove the door, open it to the special

stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and

lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and

the oven door frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges

are in the special stop position. Position

the slots in the bottom of the door squarely

over the hinges and slowly lower it over

both hinges.

To clean the inside of the door:

■ Do not allow excess water to run into any

holes or slots in the door.

■ Soap and water will normally do the job.

Heavy spattering or spillovers may require

cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.

Soap-filled, steel-wool pads may also

be used.

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. They may cause a dull spot

even after cleaning.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean

the top, sides and front of the oven door.

Rinse well. You may also use a glass

cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of

the door. Do not let water drip into the vent

openings.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato

sauces and basting materials containing

acids may cause discoloration and should

be wiped up immediately. When surface is

cool, clean and rinse.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or harsh abrasives on the

outside of the door.

Lift the door straight up and off the

hinges.

The gasket is designed with a gap

at the bottom to allow for proper

air circulation.

Because the area inside the gasket

is cleaned during the self-clean cycle,

you do not need to clean this by hand

on self-clean models.

The area outside the gasket and the

front frame can be cleaned with a

soap-filled steel-wool pad, hot water

and detergent. Rinse well with a

vinegar and water solution.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—

it has an extremely low resistance to

abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming

worn, frayed or damaged in any way,

or if it has become displaced on the

door, you should have it replaced.

Lift-Off Oven Door

With proper care, the porcelain enamel

finish on the inside of the oven—top, bottom,

sides, back and inside of the door—will stay

new-looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning. We

recommend that you wear rubber gloves

when cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job.

Heavy spattering or spillovers may require

cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.

Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.

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. They may

cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning

job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or

pottery container in a cold oven overnight.

The ammonia fumes will help loosen the

burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.

Follow the package directions.

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical

controls and switches because it could cause

a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build

up on the temperature sensor–it could cause

the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is

located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe

the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,

being careful not to move the sensor as a

change in its position could affect how the

oven bakes.

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven

door, handles or any exterior surface of the

oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner

can damage these surfaces.

Oven Interior (non-self clean models)

WARNING: If your range is

removed for cleaning, servicing or any

reason, be sure the anti-tip device is

re-engaged properly when the range

is replaced. Failure to take this

precaution could result in tipping

of the range and cause injury.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

CAUTION:Before replacing

your oven light bulb, turn the oven light off

and disconnect the electrical power to the

range at the main fuse or circuit breaker

panel.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool

completely.

To remove the cover:

Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn’t

fall when released. With fingers of the

same hand, firmly push back the wire

cover holder. Lift off the cover.

Do not remove any screws to remove

the cover.

Replace bulb with a 40-watt household

appliance bulb.

To replace the cover:

Place it into groove of the light

receptacle. Pull wire forward to the

center of the cover until it snaps

into place.

Connect electrical power to the range.

Do not clean the bake element or the broil

element. Any soil will burn off when the

elements are heated.

To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake

element. Clean with warm soapy water.

On some models, the bake element is not

exposed and is under the oven floor. If

spillovers, residue or ash accumulate on the

oven floor, wipe up before self-cleaning.

Clean the oven racks with an abrasive

cleanser or scouring pad. After cleaning,

rinse the racks with clean water and dry with

a clean cloth.

NOTE: Take the racks out of the oven before

you begin the self-clean cycle or they may

discolor.

To make the racks slide more easily, apply a

small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil

to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the

oven racks with the paper towel.

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after

each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to

clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap

and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and

water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry

with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid

cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven

cleaners on the control panel—they will

damage the finish.

The control knobs may be removed for easier

cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions

and pull them straight off the stems for

cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher

or they may also be washed with soap and

water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are

dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the OFF position to

ensure proper placement.

Pull the knob straight off the stem.

Control Panel and Knobs

Warming Drawer Rack (on some models)

Clean the rack with detergent and water.

After cleaning, rinse the rack with clean water

and dry with a clean cloth.

Removable Warming Drawer (on some models)

Most cleaning can be done with the drawer in

place. However, the drawer may be removed

if further cleaning is needed. Use soap and

warm water to thoroughly clean.

To remove the warming drawer:

Pull the drawer straight out until it stops.

Press the left rail release up and press

the right rail release down, while pulling

the drawer forward and free.

To replace the warming drawer:

Place the left drawer rail around the

inner left rail guide and slide it in

slightly to hook it.

Place the right drawer rail around the

inner right rail guide and slide it in

slightly to hook it.

Slide the drawer all the way in.

NOTE: For models with an electric

warming drawer, before performing

any adjustments, cleaning or service,

disconnect the range electrical power

supply at the household distribution panel

by removing the fuse or switching off the

circuit breaker. Make sure the warming

drawer heating element is cool.

On glass cooktop models, the oven is vented

through an opening at the rear of the

cooktop.

On coil cooktop models, the oven is vented

through an opening under the right rear

surface unit.

Never cover the opening with aluminum foil

or any other material.

Oven Vent

Painted surfaces include the sides of the

range and the sides of the door trim.

To clean the painted surfaces, use a hot,

damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for

these surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth

to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

Do not use steel-wood pads, commercial

oven cleaners, cleaning powders or other

abrasive cleaners. They will damage the

surface.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)

To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass

cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Glass Window (on some models)

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch

the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use

warm sudsy water or a stainless steel

cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface

in the direction of the grain. Follow the

cleaner instructions for cleaning the

stainless steel surface.
