IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease
may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only 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.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be
stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If
the range isnot turned off and the power resumes, the range
will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset
the clock and oven function.
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 Units--To reduce the risk of bums,
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 Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom, or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum
foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use,
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS
• DO Not Cook on Broken Cooktop--lf cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--
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 below the backguard. 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.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control.
When using the appliance for the first time, or when the
appliance has not been used for an extended period of time,
be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C)
for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the
appliance
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. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions
for cleaning.
• 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.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Owner's Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and any utensls 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.

Surface Cooking
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the
surface of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of
the surface unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the
pan matches the diameter of the unit. Heat istransferred up through the
surface of the cooktop to the cooking utensil. Only fiat-bottomed pans
should be used. The type and size of the cookware, number of surface units
in use and the settings of the units are factors that will affect the amount
of heat that will spread to areas surrounding the surface units. The areas
surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans
with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods
directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to
glass or difficulty in cleaning will result.
Radiant Surface Units
The Radiant Surface Unit is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic
fixture below the glass cooktop. The unit temperature rises gradually and t'tl
evenly. As the temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the Z
selected setting, the unit will cycle on and off. The heating unit retains _'_
enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle, r-
The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat
in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes I
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the
cooking process. The amount of residual heat depends on the type and
quality of cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and the
selected heat setting.
Dual Radiant Surface Units (if equipped)
The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within
the same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for
operating the different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower
wattage and can be used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller
pans. The larger unit or both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage
and can be used to prepare larger quantities of food in larger pans. When
using the outer coil, both inner and outer coils operate.
Indicator Light(s) There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your range--a
surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator.
The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any
surface unit is turned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an
easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot cooktop surface indicator, located under the glass cooktop or on
the control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and
will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a
moderate level.

Dual Radiant Surface Unit Controls
To Operate Radiant Surface Units
Push in and turn the Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the
desired setting, Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting, Start most cooking operations on a higher setting; then turn
to a lower setting to finish. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for
the unit. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular
mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed,
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Units (if equipped)
Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. • Indicates inner coil only.
(_) Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from
either coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn
the Dual Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired
setting.
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
glasstop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too
small for the element or if the pan bottom is not flat.
After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to
touch either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will
turn dark in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if
the units are touched at this time.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when
it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden
spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the unit.

Oven Cleaning
Q
BB
During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the touch. DO
NOT leave small children unattended
near the app lance.
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 cause permanent
damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).

Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above
cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a clamp cloth.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before precleaning. I"1"1
Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue Z
after the self-clean cycle.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven. I
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. 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.
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go
through the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish
will be dull. After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub
the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into
the rack position).
4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as 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 center of the oven bottom.
These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to
excessive smoke or fire:
1. Push CLEAR.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light
has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.
4. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.
DO NOT force the oven door open. 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.

for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth
before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls.
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the
appliance. Cleaners made especially for stainless steel such as Stainless
Steel Magic, trademark of Magic American Corp., or similar products are
recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to
rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be
removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the
knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse
with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover
difficult 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-filled
scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or
the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use
spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle
for cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
If the racksare cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly

Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic-
glass cooktop. If food spills, grease spatters and metal rub-off from
aluminum cookware are not removed, they may be burned onto the surface
of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Daily Cleaning
For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe up spills and spatters using a clean paper towel. Always use a
new, clean
paper towel when cleaning the ceramic-glass cooktop.
3. Rub a few drops of a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning
cream onto soiled area using a clean, damp paper towel. Buff with a
dry paper towel until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning
leaves a protective coating of silicone which helps in preventing
scratches and abrasions. Clean surface with the cooktop cleaning cream
after each use.
4. Rinse with another clean damp, paper towel. Buff dry with a dry paper
towel.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Carefully scrape soil with a metal razor blade scraper. Hold razor blade
scraper at a 30 ° angle to the cooktop.
3. Remove loosened soil with a clean paper towel.
4. Apply cooktop cleaning cream as described for normal soil.
5. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. After all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface with the cooktop cleaning cream.
For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must
begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot, Use caution when
following the steps below.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill
out of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop.
3. Allow the cooktop to cool.
4. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.
DO NOT use the following on the ceramic-glass cooktop:
Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads, They may scratch
the cooktop and make it more difficult to clean later.
Sponges, cloths or dish towels. Lint or soil remaining on the cooktop
from a cloth or sponge can burn and cause discoloration.
Anything that may melt (plastics, aluminum foil).
Cleansers other than a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning
cream.
Chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid, chemical oven cleaners or
any other kind of chemical cleaner. They may etch or discolor the
cooktop.
