WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Anti-tip device
WARNING
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly
installed Anti-Tip device.
AFTER THE RANGE HAS BEEN INSTALLED, CONFIRM THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE HAS BEEN
PROPERLY INSTALLED AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS PROPERLY ENGAGED.
• If the anti-tip device is not installed, a child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Verify that the anti-tip device has been properly installed and engaged at the rear right (or rear
left) of the range bottom.
• If you move the range and then move it back into place, ensure the anti tip-device is re-engaged
at the right or left rear of the range bottom.
• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
WARNING
• Do not step, lean, or sit on the doors of the range. You can cause the range to tip, resulting in
burns or serious injuries.
• Confirm that the Anti-Tip device is installed properly. Then, to verify that the Anti-Tip device is
engaged, grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward. The Anti-Tip
device should prevent the range from tilting forward more than a few inches.
• If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the anti-tip device is properly
engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit, or lean on the open door.
• Never completely remove the leveling legs. If you remove the leveling legs, the range will not be
secured to the antitip device properly.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read and follow all instructions before using your oven to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock,
personal injury, or damage when using the range. This guide does not cover all possible conditions
that may occur. Always contact your service agent or manufacturer about problems that you do
not understand.

sory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
SURFACE COOKING ELEMENTS
• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface element drip bowls or oven bottoms,
except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of elec-
tric shock or fire.
• 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.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can damage the range and cause the range to mal-
function.
• Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the cooktop operates without cookware, the

SURFACE COOKING ELEMENTS (cont.)
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface when it is
in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
• Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface elements of different size. Select
pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface area of the heating
element. Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct con-
tact and may result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or pan to the element
will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extended over adjacent surface elements – To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage due to unintentional contact
with utensils, position utensil handles so that they are turned inward and do not extend over adja-
cent surface elements.
• Glazed cooking utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed cookware can be used for range top service without breaking due to sudden changes
in temperature.
• Cleaning – Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
• Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface element. Make sure you turned on
the correct surface element.
• Always turn the surface elements off before removing cookware.
• When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that could fall and damage it.
• Do not use decorative surface element covers – If an element is accidentally turned on, the deco-
rative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the cooktop.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• PROPER INSTALLATION - Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a quali-
fied technician.

OVEN
• DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, the oven door,
and the window of the oven door.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. The build-up of pressure may cause the container to
burst and result in injury.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Use care when opening the door. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove food from or
put food into the oven.
• Protective liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottoms. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located above the right rear surface
element. This area could become hot during oven use. Never block this vent or place plastic or
heat-sensitive items on it.
• Placement of oven racks. Always place oven racks in the desired location while the oven is cool.
If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, use potholders. Do not let the potholders come
in contact with the hot heating element in the oven.
• Do not allow aluminum foil or a meat probe to contact the heating elements.
• During use, the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements inside the oven.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass. They can
scratch the surface which may result in the glass shattering.
VENTILATING HOOD
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Do not let grease accumulate on the hood or filter.
• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the hood fan on.
GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE ELEMENTS OR AREAS NEAR ELEMENTS. Surface elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface elements may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials con-
tact the surface elements or areas near the elements until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas directly facing the cooktop.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified techni-
cian immediately.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.

• Allow a 30 in. (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the surface elements and the bottom of
unprotected wood or metal cabinets, or allow a 24 in. (61 cm) minimum when the bottom of the
wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less than .25 in. (.6 cm) thick flame retardant mill board
covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, .015 in. (.038 cm) stainless steel, .024 in. (.061 cm)
aluminum, or .020 in. (.051 cm) copper.
• Your range has been approved for 0 in. (0 cm) spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop.
However, we recommend a 6 in. (15.2 cm) minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15 in. (38.1 cm)
above the cooktop and adjacent cabinet to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter, and heat.
• To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage
space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is above the cooktop, the risk
can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects at least 5 in. (12.7 cm) beyond the front of
the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 16 in. (40.6 cm).
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury:
• Remove the house fuse or open the circuit breaker before beginning installation.
• Your range must be supplied with the correct voltage and frequency, and must be connected to
an individual, correctly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having the
amperage as specified on the rating plate located above the top panel of the bottom drawer.
• We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a quali-
fied electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect
is located.
• Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your
oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local
codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70–Latest Edition.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (cont.)
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (non-exist-
ing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.
• When installing an electric range in new construction, follow the instructions in Connect a 4-wire
power cord on page 18.
• You must use a 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 volt or 240/120 volt, 60 hertz electrical
system.
• If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electri-
cian install an approved outlet.
• Use only a 3-conductor or 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with
ring terminals on the wires and a strain relief device.
• A range cord rated at 40 amps with a 125/250 minimum volt range is required. We do not recom-
mend a 50 amp range cord, but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 13.8 in. (35 cm)
diameter connection openings. Make sure that you center the cable and strain relief within the
knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.
• Because range terminals are not accessible after the range is in position, a flexible service conduit
or cord must be used.
INSTALLING YOUR RANGE
WARNING! We recommend that a professional installer install your range.
If your range is not installed correctly, incorrect electrical grounding can cause a fire or explosion
which can lead to injury or death.
TOOLS YOU NEED (not included)
ITEMS NOT INCLUDED

INSTALLING THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of tipping, your range must be secured by the provided anti-tip device.
• All ranges can tip and cause personal injury.
• A child or adult can tip your range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip device to your range and structure by following the installation instructions.
• Make sure that your range is connected to the anti-tip device installed to the structure.
• If you pull your range away from the wall for cleaning, service, or any other reason, make sure that
the anti-tip device is correctly reengaged when you push your range back against the wall. In the
event of abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting, or leaning on an open door), failure to
take this precaution can result in tipping of your range. Personal injury might result from spilled
hot liquids or from your range itself.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
An anti-tip bracket and screws with installation instructions came with your range. If the bracket
is not installed correctly, your range could be tipped by you or a child standing, sitting, or leaning
on an open oven door.
1. Release and extend the leveling leg to a minimum clearance of .7 in. (1.8 cm) between the range
bottom and the floor.
2. Follow the instructions that came with the anti-tip device.
3. Remove the storage drawer and look underneath your range to make sure that the leveling leg
is engaged in the bracket. See Removing and replacing the storage drawer on page 44.
4. Carefully tip your range forward. The bracket should stop your range within 4 in. (10.2 cm) of
tipping. If it does not, you need to re-install the bracket.
PLACING YOUR RANGE AND CONNECTING TO POWER
1. Plug in the power cord. Make sure that the outlet meets local or national electrical codes.
2. Slide your range into place.
3. Make sure that the back leg of your range slid into the anti-tip bracket. Carefully tip your range
forward to make sure that the anti-tip bracket prevents a tip-over.
21
INSTALLATION
LEVELING YOUR RANGE
Your range should be level. If your range is not level, the door may not close or seal correctly which
can cause uneven heating and electric wastage problems.
NOTE
• To make it easier to adjust the feet, have someone push against the top of your range to tilt it
slightly.
• Adjusting the two front legs is usually sufficient, but all four legs adjust if necessary.
1. Make sure that your range is positioned where you want it.
2. Using a wrench, level your range by turning the front leveling legs if necessary. Counterclockwise
shortens the leg and lowers your range. Clockwise lengthens the leg and raises your range.
Adjust the leveling legs only as far as necessary to level your range. Extending the leveling legs
more than necessary or removing the legs can make your range unstable.
3. If your range is next to or between cabinets, make sure that the cooktop is level with the counter
tops.
FINISHING THE INSTALLATION
1. Move your range close enough to the power outlet you plan to use, then plug in the power cord.
2. Slide your range into position. Make sure that the rear left (or rear right) leg slides under the
anti-tip bracket. Your range should sit 0.8 in. (2 cm) away from the back wall when correctly
installed.
3. Carefully tip your range forward to make sure that the anti-tip bracket is installed correctly and
prevents a tip-over.
4. Turn on the electrical power. Make sure that your range is working correctly. For more informa-
tion, see OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU BEGIN USING YOUR RANGE
WARNING! All electrical equipment with moving parts can be dangerous. Make sure that you read
and understand all safety information. See IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
Before turning on the burners or oven:
• Remove all packaging materials.
• Wipe the surfaces of your range with a damp cloth or sponge, then dry with a clean, dry cloth.
CAUTION! Do not use harsh detergents, scouring powder, or any sharp objects to clean your range.
These items can damage the surfaces of your range.
When you turn on an element or the oven for the first time, smoke and odors may be emitted. This
is normal. Make sure that the room is well ventilated.
WARNING!
• Do not touch any hot surface on your range. Use oven gloves or potholders.
• Do not let children near your range.
TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
• During cooking, keep the oven door closed except when you turn food over.
• To maintain the oven temperature, do not open the door frequently during cooking.
• If cooking time is more than 30 minutes, switch the oven off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time. The residual heat completes the cooking process.
• To reduce the time needed for re-heating the oven, plan oven use to avoid turning the oven off
between cooking one item and the next.
• Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS
WARNING!
• Before using the surface burners, make sure that you follow all the safety warnings and precau-
tions as listed. Failure to do so could result in product damage, personal injury, or death.
• When you want to move a pot or pan onto another element, lift it up and place it on the other
element. Do not slide a pot or pan from one element to another. Sliding can scratch surfaces.
CAUTION! Before cooking
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not
being used.
• Turn the surface burners on only after placing cookware on them.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and damage it.
CAUTION! While cooking
• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or
plastic wrappings on your range when it is in use. The hot air from the vent could melt plastics or
ignite flammable items.
• Make sure that you turn on the correct element.
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
• Always place a pan in the center of the surface element you are cooking on.
• Never leave surface burners unattended while using a high heat setting. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
25
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS
CAUTION! While cooking (cont.)
• Turn the surface burners off before removing cookware.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be difficult to remove
CAUTION: After cooking
• Do not touch the surface burners until they cool down.
• The surface may still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass surface before it has
cooled down sufficiently.
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent tough cleanup chores later.
• If cabinet storage is directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the items in the cabinet
are used infrequently, and that they can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera-
tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays.
The cooktop burners are radiant surface elements. When you turn on an element, the tempera-
ture rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant element glows red.
To maintain the selected setting, the element cycles on and off. The heating element retains
enough heat to help provide a more uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient
cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This lets residual heat
complete the cooking process.
NOTE
A radiant element has a limiter that lets the element cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This is
normal and helps prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Excessive cycling at the HI setting can
occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
IDENTIFYING THE BURNERS
Your range cooktop has four surface burner. The different element sizes make sure that you have
the correct heat source for each cooking job.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
COOKING AREAS
• The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooking surface.
For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
• Pans should not extend more than .5 to 1 in. (1.3 to 2.5 cm) beyond the cooking area.
• When a control is turned on, you can see a glow through the glass cooking surface. The element
cycles on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even at high settings.
• For more information about the correct types of cookware, see USING THE CORRECT COOK-
WARE.

USING THE CORRECT COOKWARE
Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended
cooking times. Look for the following pan characteristics:
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-fitting lid
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan
• Pan is well-balanced
• Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared and the size of the surface element.
• Made of material that conducts heat well. See TYPES OF COOKWARE.
TYPES OF COOKWARE
What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the
surface element to the pan bottom.
DESCRIPTION
Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food cause aluminum to darken.(An-
odized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.) If you slide aluminum
pans across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble
scratches. Remove these marks as soon as the coo top cools down.
Excellent heat conductor, but discolors easily. If you slide copper pans across
the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches.
Remove these marks as soon as the cooktop cools down.
Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. It is durable, easy to clean,
and resists staining.
A poor conductor, but retains heat well. Cooks evenly once cooking tempera-
ture is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Heating characteristics vary depending on base material. Porcelain enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktops because it may
scratch the glass.

PROTECTING THE CERAMIC COOKTOP
CLEANING
• Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time.
• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This helps keep your cooktop looking good and can
prevent damage.
• If a spillover occurs while you are cooking, turn off the burner elements and immediately clean
the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using
extreme care, wipe the spill with a clean dry towel. Wear protective gloves or mitts to avoid burn-
ing yourself.
• Do not let spills remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.
• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads because they can scratch the cooktop.
• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use
on a glass ceramic surface.
PREVENTING MARKS AND SCRATCHES
• Do not use glass cookware. It may scratch the cooktop.
• Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan. These items can mark or
scratch the cooktop.
• Make sure that the cooktop and the pan bottoms are clean.
• Do not slide metal pans across the cooktop.
PREVENTING STAINS
• Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. They may leave a film,
which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface can result in a permanent stain.
PREVENTING OTHER DAMAGE
• Do not let plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this
happen, clean immediately.
• Do not let a pan boil dry. This may damage the cooktop and the pan.
• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

POSITIONING THE OVEN RACKS
You can remove and reposition the oven racks in any of the six rack positions. Each oven rack has
a built-in stop to prevent it from accidentally being pulled completely out. Correct positioning of
the oven racks provides the best cooking results.
WARNING! Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door. Escaping hot air or steam can
burn your hands, face, or eyes. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
• Centering the baking pans in the oven produces better cooking results.
• When baking multiple items, make sure that you leave a 1 to 1.5 in. (2.5 to 3.8 cm) space around
each item.
• When baking or fan baking on a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4.
• When baking or fan baking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5. Place two
pans in the rear of the top rack and the other two pans in the front of the bottom rack.
CAUTION
• Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. This disturbs the heat circulation and results in
poor baking.
• Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom because it could cause damage.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
• When placing an oven rack in the top most rack position, make sure that the rack is stably situat-
ed on the embossed stop.

CLEANING THE COOKTOP
The cooktop surface is a porcelain-enamel surface. To prevent this surface from becoming dull,
wipe up and clean spills as they happen. Foods with a lot of acid (for example, tomatoes, sauer-
kraut, and fruit juices) or foods with high sugar content can cause dull spots if allowed to set.
CAUTION
• Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaners on stainless steel surfaces. Abrasive pads and
cleaners will scratch the surface and damage the finish.
• Carefully check the bottoms of pans for roughness that may scratch the cooktop.
NORMAL DAILY USE CLEANING
NOTE - Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner helps keep the cooktop looking new.
Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Other creams may not be as effective. By following these
steps, you can maintain and protect the surface of the glass cooktop.
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps pro-
tect the top and makes cleanup easier.
1. Shake the cleaning cream well, then apply a few drops of cleaner directly on the cooktop.
2. Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
3. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. You do not need to rinse.
CLEANING SUGARY SPILLS AND MELTED PLASTICS
NOTE
- If pitting or indentations in the glass surface have already occurred, they can’t be repaired. The
cooktop glass will have to be replaced.
- Sugary spillovers (such jellies, fudge, candy, and syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of
the cooktop surface. This is not covered under the warranty.
- You should clean the spill while it is still hot. Take special care when removing hot substances.
- When using a scraper, make sure that it is new and the razor blade is still sharp. Do not use a dull
or nicked blade.
1. Turn off all surface burners. Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a single-edge, razor-blade scraper to move the spill to a cool area of
the cooktop. Remove the spill with paper towels.
3. Wait until the cooktop has cooled, then remove any remaining spillover. Don’t use the surface
burners again until all of the residue has been completely removed.
REMOVING BURNED-ON RESIDUE
1. Make sure that all surface burners are turned off, then let the cooktop cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area.

oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and HOT disappears
from the display.
4. Press the CANCEL pad.
WARNING - Be careful when opening the door before a steam-cleaning procedure has ended.
The water on the bottom is hot.
5. Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not leave the residual
water in the oven for any length of time. A significant amount of water remains on the bottom of
the oven after a steam-cleaning cycle.
6. Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.
Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove lime deposits with a cloth soaked
in vinegar. If the oven remains dirty, repeat the procedure after the oven has cooled.

TROUBLESHOOTING
OVEN (cont.)
POSSIBLE CAUSE
In some areas, the power (volt-
age) may be low.
The oven sensor needs to be
adjusted.
When using the fan feature, it is
normal to see steam coming out
of the oven vent.
As the number of racks or
amount of food being cooked
increases, the amount of visible
steam increases.
This is normal in a new oven and
disappears in time.
An odor coming from the insula-
tion around the inside of the
oven is normal for the first few
times the oven is used.
The shiny, silver-colored racks
were cleaned in a self-cleaning
cycle.
SOLUTION
Preheat the broil element for 10
minutes. See MINIMUM AND
MAXIMUM SETTINGS.
See ADJUSTING THE THERMO-
STAT.
This is normal operation, and not
a system failure. Use the oven as
usual.
Operate the oven at the BAKE
setting at 400 °F (204° C) for one
hour.
Apply a small amount of vegeta-
ble oil to a paper towel and wipe
the edges of the oven racks with
the paper towel.
PROBLEM
Food does not broil
correctly.
The oven temperature
is too hot or too cold.
Steam is coming out of
the vent.
A burning or oily odor
is coming from the
vent.
Strong odor.
Oven racks are difficult
to slide.

TROUBLESHOOTING
ERROR CODES
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Communication failure
Cavity sensor open/short
circuit
Cavity high temperature
protection
Oven heating failure
SOLUTION
1. Enter standby state after fault recovery.
2. Make a judgment after 20 consecutive commu-
nication abnormalities.
1. A short-circuit fault can only be determined if
the box sensor is detected to be short-circuited for
5 consecutive seconds under normal conditions. If
the box sensor is detected to be normal for 5
consecutive seconds under a short-circuited state,
the sensor can be judged to be back to normal.
2. After the machine has been running for 5 min-
utes, it can be judged as an open-circuit fault only
if the cabinet sensor is open-circuited for 5 con-
secutive seconds. If the cabinet sensor is detected
to be normal for 5 consecutive seconds with the
cabinet sensor open-circuited state, the sensor
can be judged to be back to normal.
3. After a fault occurs, the machine needs to stop
heating, exit the current state, enter the fault
state, and display the fault code.
4. If the fault is eliminated, you need to press the
cancel button to return to the standby state and
clear the fault code. If you press the cancel button
in the fault state, the machine returns to the
standby mode and clears the fault code. When
re-testing determines that there is a fault, pro-
ceed to step 2.
1. In working mode, if the temperature exceeds
310°C for 10 consecutive seconds, the oven tem-
perature is deemed to be overheated.
2. After a fault occurs, the machine needs to stop
heating, exit the current state, enter the fault
state, and display the fault code.
3. If the fault is eliminated, you need to press the
cancel button to return to the standby state and
clear the fault code. If you press the cancel button
in the fault state, the machine returns to the
standby mode and clears the fault code.
1. 25°C ≤ cavity temperature ≤ set temperature
-30°C;
2. Set temperature ≥ 85°C;
3. Temperature rise rate ≤ 3°C within 7 minutes;
4. Only judge during the heating state (Judge
when starting, and only judge once During the
judgment process, if there is a door opening,
malfunction, etc. to stop the heating operation,
the judgment will be suspended.);
5. No judgment is made for special menus (such
as fermentation, heat preservation, no require-
ment for the heating stage time…)
