IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
• Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the oven bottom or anywhere
in the oven, except as described in this manual. Oven liners can trap
heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock,
smoke or fire.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface
units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the coil elements, the cooktop, and surfaces
facing the cooktop.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
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 heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient 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, oven doors, and
windows of oven doors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure may
cause container to burst and result in injury.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never
be worn while using the appliance.
• Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different size. 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
heating element will also improve efficiency.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
• If power is lost to an electric cooktop with knob surface unit controls
while a surface unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon as
power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn all surface
unit knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition of items on or near
the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.
• 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 Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
• Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not permitted due to
overheating of control knobs.
• Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat probes from
contacting heating elements.

Cooktop
Before Using the Cooktop
Read all instructions before using.
WARNING
• Use two or more people to move and install oven. Failure to do so can
result in back or other injury.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is broken, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass
cooktop, even when it is not being used.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spills that may catch on fire.
• Keep flammable items away from the cooktop.
• Turn off all controls when done cooking.
• Turn cookware handles inward and not extend over adjacent surface
units to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking
on. Proper contact of cookware to heating element also will improve
efficiency.
• Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
25
CAUTION
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface. Cookware wit h
rough or uneven bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop.
• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepp er
shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings or any other material on th e
range when it is in use.
• Do not turn surface units on before placing cookware.
• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• The surface element may appear to have cooled after it has been turn ed
off. The element may still be hot and touching the element before it has
cooled sufficiently can cause burns.
• Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, o r
other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service withou t
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Choose proper heating element size. For smaller pots and pans, use th e
smaller heating elements. For larger pots and pans, use the larg er
heating elements. Select pans that have flat bottoms large enough t o
cover the heating elements. Using undersized pans exposes a portion o f
the heating element to direct contact and may result in clothing burning.

30" Model: R-REH304SS
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the
glass cooktop surface.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooktop
surface.
For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. Pans should
not extend more than 1/2" to 1" (1.3 cm to 2.5 cm) beyond the cooking area.

elements are still hot. When the hot surface indicator turns off, the glass
surface may still feel slightly hot to touch.
Using the Cooktop Elements
Turning on a Single Element
OFF position HI position LO position
• The hot surface indicator light glows 30 seconds after an element is
turned on or when the surface temperature reaches 150°F (65°C).
• The hot surface indicator light remains on after the element is turned off
and until the surface has cooled to approximately 150°F (65°C).
1. Select a single element, and find its control knob.
2. Push the control knob in and turn it in either direction to the desired
setting.
3. To turn off an element, turn the control knob to the OFF position.
OFF OFF OFF
Note:
• It is normal for the cooktop elements to cycle on and off during cooking,
even on higher settings.
In Case of Power Failure
The electric cooktop and oven cannot be used during a power outage.
If power is lost while a cooktop element is on, the cooktop element will turn
back on as soon as power is restored.
In the event of power loss, failure to turn all cooktop element knobs to the OFF
position may result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to
serious injury or death.
Using the Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware will influence the settings needed for the best
cooking results. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact
with the entire surface heating element, and should not extend more than 1/2"
to 1" (1.3 cm to 2.5 cm) beyond the cooking area for the most efficient
cooking. Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as
uneven cooking or extended cooking times.
Cookware Recommendations
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Heavy-gauge pans
• Pan sizes that match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the
surface element
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.
• Pan is well balanced
• Tight-fitting lids
• Flat bottom woks
29
Note:
• Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat
on glass surface elements.
• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. Do
not use the cooktop if metal has melted on it.
Choosing Cookware
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred
from the surface element to the pan bottom.
Recommended
• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to
darken (anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). If
aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal
marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be
used.
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal
marks on glass-ceramic (see Aluminum above). 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.
• Stainless Steel - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is
durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron - Bottom of pan must be smooth coated
and smooth.
Not Recommended
• Enamel (painted) on Steel - Heating empty pans can cause permanen t
damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can melt and bond to the cerami c
cooktop.
• Cast iron - A poor heat conductor, slow to absorb heat but retains hea t
very well. Will scratch the glass surface. Not recommended unles s
designed specifically for use on ceramic cooktops.
• Glass-ceramic - Slow heat conductor. Poor performance, and will scratc h
the glass surface.
• Stoneware - Poor performance, and may scratch the glass surface.

Oven
Before Using the Oven
Read the instructions for each feature and cooking mode in this manual
carefully before using the oven.
CAUTION
• Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. Thes e
items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and ris k
of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is no t
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 an d
never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-
1/2" (3.8 cm) from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
• Do not cover the slotted grid of the 2-piece broiler pan with aluminu m
foil. This will catch the grease and could cause fire.
• Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
• Do not place food, water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the ove n
floor, as this will irreversibly damage the enamel surface.
• Do not block, touch or place items around the oven vent during cooking.
Your oven is vented through ducts at the center above the rear cooktop.
Do not block the oven vent when cooking to allow for proper air flow.
• The oven and broiler cannot be used during a power outage. If the ov en
is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven heating element shuts of f
and cannot be used until power is restored. Once power is restored, yo u
will need to reset the oven (or Broil mode).
• As the oven heats up, the heated air in the oven may cause condensatio n
to appear on the oven door glass. These water drops are harmless an d
will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
31
WARNING
CAUTION
Food Poisoning Hazard
• Use two or more people to move and install oven. Failure to do so can
result in back or other injury.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is broken, cleanin g
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glas s
cooktop, even when it is not being used.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spills that may catch on fire.
• Keep flammable items away from the cooktop.
• Turn off all controls when done cooking.
• Turn cookware handles inward and not extend over adjacent surfac e
units to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, an d
spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cookin g
on. Proper contact of cookware to heating element also will improv e
efficiency.
• Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wip e
spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Som e
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
• Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry ,
should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they shou ld
not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, an d
should be removed promptly when finished cooking. Consumin g
spoiled food can result in food poisoning or sickness.
32
Before Using the Oven for the First Time
Start the oven in Bake mode at the highest available temperature setting. Allow
oven to run for 1 hour to remove any dust or impurities. There will be a
distinctive odor - this is normal. Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during
this conditioning period.
Oven Vent
Areas near the vent may become hot during operation and may cause burns.
Avoid placing plastics near the vent as heat may distort or melt the plastic.
Do not block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet
and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate properly
with correct combustion.
It is normal for steam to be visible when cooking foods with high moisture
content.
Oven vent
33
Oven Door
Oven heating elements and, if in operation, convection fan will temporarily
shut off any time door is opened, and will resume when door is closed within 3
minutes.
Note:
To avoid oven door glass breakage:
Using Oven Racks
The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled
out of the oven cavity.
CAUTION
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary. If the door is left
open too long for over 3 minutes, the cooking mode will be
automatically cancelled.
• Do not close the oven door if the racks are not fully inserted into the oven
cavity or if bakeware extends past the front edge of an oven rack.
• Do not set objects on the glass surface of the oven door.
• Do not hit glass surfaces with bakeware or other objects.
• Do not wipe down glass surfaces until the oven has completely cooled.
• Replace oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns.
• Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place
anything on the bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor baking
and may damage the oven bottom.
• Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
34
Removing Racks
Replacing Racks
1. Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2. Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.
1. Place the end of the rack on the support.
2. Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.
Broiling performs best with the food close to the broil heating element -
typically rack position #5 or #6.
Rack Positions
For best cooking results, adjust rack so
food is placed at the center of the
oven. For most foods this will be rack
position #3 or #4. For larger foods like
roasts and turkey, move the rack
position down to #2 or #1 to keep the
food centered in the oven.
When using multiple racks
simultaneously, try to space the food
out around the oven center (rack
positions #3 and #5 or #2 and #4 for
two racks).

Preheating
Preheating is generally desirable, although not absolutely necessary in all
circumstances.
• For oven modes that utilizes preheat, the control will automatically enter
preheat mode and show "PRE" after Start is pressed to turn on the oven.
– Once the set temperature is reached, an indicator tone will sound for
a few seconds to alert the user that preheat is complete.
• Broil and Warm modes do not utilizes preheat, the control will show Hi or
Lo for Broil and 175°F (79°C) for Warm after Start is pressed to turn on the
oven.
Note:
• It is normal for the convection fan to operate during preheating of
various baking modes.
Some foods are more robust and may have acceptable results without
preheating. These foods include large pieces of meat (whole roasts, hams, or
poultry) where the total cooking time is much longer than the time required to
preheat. These foods also include frozen potato products and frozen
processed dinners that, by their nature and design, are more robust to baking
variations. More delicate foods, such breads (including cakes, cookies,
pastries, and pizzas), desserts, soufflés, etc. will likely not have acceptable
results without proper preheating.
36
Minimum & Maximum Default Settings
The various baking modes (Bake and Conv Bake) have a 10-hour time limit,
after which the control will automatically end the baking mode. Broil and Keep
Warm modes have a 3-hour time limit. If desired, these modes can be restarted
after the time limit expires.

heating temporarily. The oven heating cycle will automatically resume to
maintain the set temperature.
• Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in
the oven cavity may not show the same set temperature on the oven.
37
Bake
The Bake mode uses heat from the lower heating element to cook food. This
mode works best with food placed on a single rack. Always preheat the oven
first and place food centrally near the middle racks.

food. If the door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the
cooking mode will be automatically cancelled.
8. Press Cancel/Off when cooking is finished, and remove the food from the
oven.
Note:
• Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics,
size, and shape of the baking pan used.
• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick finish), heatproof glass-
ceramic, ceramic or other bakeware recommended for oven use.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food faster with more
browning. Insulated bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for
most foods.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode uses heat from the lower heating element and air
movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking efficiency and
evenness across multiple racks. Always preheat the oven first. Baking times
may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a
single rack.
Setting the Convection Bake Mode
For example, to Convection Bake at 375°F.
1. Adjust oven rack levels as needed.
39
2. Press Bake twice to select Convection Bake mode.

food. If the door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the
cooking mode will be automatically cancelled.
8. Press Cancel/Off when cooking is finished, and remove the food from the
oven.
40
Note:
• The oven fan runs while convection baking.
• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of
pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.
• Place the oven racks in positions suggested in the "Tips and Techniques"
section.
• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to
allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a
dark finish will cook faster.
Broil
The Broil mode uses intense heat from the upper heating element to sear
foods. This mode works best for tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut
vegetables, and is ideal for toasting, melting cheese, browning and searing
surface. Food should be placed near the upper racks, and should not be
cooked for too long on each side of the food.
Setting the Broil Mode
1. Adjust oven rack levels as needed.
2. Press Broil once to select Hi Broil or twice to select Lo Broil.
3. Press Start.

food. If the door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the
cooking mode will be automatically cancelled.
5. Press Cancel/Off when cooking is finished, and remove the food from the
oven.
Note:
• The oven of this range is designed for closed-door broiling. Opening the
door turns off the broil heating element during broiling. If the door is not
closed, the Broil mode will ultimately cancel itself.
• The broil heating element is very powerful. Follow recipe directions and
monitor food closely to reduce risk of burning food.
• Always use a broiler pan and grid for excess fat and grease drainage.
This will help to reduce splatter, smoke, and flare-ups. Do not use a
broiler pan without a grid. Oil can cause a grease fire.
• Do not cover the grid and broiler pan with aluminum foil. Doing so will
cause a fire.
Keep Warm
The Keep Warm mode uses heat from the lower heating element to maintain
oven temperature at around 175°F (79°C). It will keep cooked food warm for
serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished. Cover foods that need to
remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not
required.
Setting the Keep Warm Mode
1. Adjust oven rack levels as needed.
2. Place the hot food in the oven.
42
3. Press Keep Warm to select Keep Warm mode.
4. Press Start.
The oven starts to preheat, and 175F (79°C) remains in the display. Keep
the oven door closed.
Note:
• If the oven door is opened when Start is pressed, the oven will turn
on when the oven door is closed.
5. Press Cancel/Off when warming is finished, and remove the food from the
oven.
Note:
• Do not use to Warm mode to heat cold food. Always start with hot food.
• It is recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours.
• The warm mode is intended to keep food warm. Do not use it to cool
food down.
• Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. If the
door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the cooking mode will be
automatically cancelled.
Tips and Techniques
Bake
Baking is cooking with heated air. The lower element in the oven is used to
heat the air but no fan is used to circulate the heat.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time
and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients
and the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.
43
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 1½" (2.5 - 3
cm) space between utensils and oven walls.
• Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
• Check for doneness at the minimum time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a non-stick finish), heatproof glass,
glass-ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
• When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from
recommended temperature.
• Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning.
Insulated bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
• Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of
the oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped
beneath it. This will alter the cooking performance and can damage the
finish of the oven.
• Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.
• See Troubleshooting for tips on solving Oven Problems.
Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses heat from the lower heating element and air movement
from the convection fan to enhance cooking efficiency and evenness across
multiple racks. Reduce recipe baking temperatures by 25°F (15°C).
• For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans t o
take advantage of the forced air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans fo r
best results unless otherwise specified.
• Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature by anoth e r
25°F (15°C) when using heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50° F
(30°C).
• Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster wh e n
using dark metal bake ware.
• The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to b e
cooked.
• Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’ t
try to convert recipes such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, o r
cheesecakes, which do not benefit from the convection-heating proce ss .
Use the regular Bake mode for these foods.
44
• For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling.
• Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes before placing food in the oven.
• Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is
done on rack positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and
6. All six racks can be used for cookies,
biscuits and appetizers.
– 2 Rack baking: Use positions 3 and
5 or 2 and 4.
– 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3,
and 4 or 1, 3, and 5 or 2, 4, and 6.
– When baking four cake layers at
the same time, stagger pans so
that one pan is not directly above
another. For best results, place
cakes on front of upper rack and
back of lower rack (See graphic at
right). Allow 1" - 1 ½" (2.5 - 3cm)
air space around pans.
• Converting your own recipe can be easy. Choose a recipe that will work
well in convection.
• Reduce the temperature and cooking time if necessary. It may take som e
trial and error to achieve a perfect result. Keep track of your technique fo r
the next time you want to prepare the recipe using convection.
• See Troubleshooting for tips to Solving Baking and Roasting Problems.
Foods recommended for convection bake mode:
Appetizers, Biscuits, Cakes, Casseroles, Coffee Beans, Cookies (2 to 4 racks),
Cream Puffs, Popovers, Yeast Breads, One-Dish Entrées, Oven Meals (rack
positions 3 and 4), and Air Leavened Foods (Soufflés, Meringue, Meringue-
Topped Desserts, Angel Food Cakes, Chiffon Cakes).
Broil
The Broil mode uses intense heat from the upper heating element to sear
foods. The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of
doneness will affect broiling times.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and
cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap,
water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products.
Note:
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The material of the gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you
notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if range is moved.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop
• Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop
cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
• Regular use of ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop
looking new.
• If any sugar or food containing sugar spills, or plastic or foil melts on the
cooktop, remove the material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper
while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to the
glass-ceramic surface. When used correctly, the scraper will not damage
the cooktop surface.
• For your safety, please use an oven mitt or pot holder while scraping the
hot cooking surface.
• If water or food containing water spills, remove the spill IMMEDIATELY
with a dry paper towel.
• Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning pads. They may damage your
cooktop surface.
46
Cleaning Method:
Note:
Burned-On Residue
Cleaning Methods:
• Use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop. Other creams may not
be as effective or may scratch, damage or stain the cooktop surface.
• Use a paper towel or non-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop
surface.
• Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all
cleaning residue.
• Any damage or failure of the product resulting from the items below
may not be covered under the Limited Warranty.
- Sugary spillovers (such as preserves, ketchup, tomato sauce,
jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, or chocolate) or melted plastics
can cause pitting on the surface of your cooktop.
- If food or water containing calcium (such as baking powder,
wine, milk, spinach, or broccoli) is spilled on the cooktop, it can
permanently stain or discolor the surface.
• Allow the cooktop to cool.
• For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the
entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.
• Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned
residue area. Using a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub
the residue area, applying pressure as needed. Leave the cleaner on for
10 minutes before rinsing it off.
• Rinse with clear water and wipe the cooktop surface with a clean, dry
paper towel. If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above as
needed.
47
Note:
• Damage to your glass surface may occur if you use scrub pads other
than those recommended.
Heavy Burned-On Residue
• Allow the cooktop to cool.
• For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the
entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.
Cleaning Methods:
• While the cooktop is still warm, use a single-edge razor blade scraper at
approximately a 30° to 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the
soil. It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor scraper in order to
remove the residue.
• When the cooking surface is completely cooled, spread a few drops of
ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area. Using a non-
scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub the residue area, applying
pressure as needed. Leave the cleaner on for 10 minutes before rinsing it
off.
• Rinse with clear water and wipe the cooktop surface with a clean, dry
paper towel.
Note:
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
48
Metal Marks and Scratches
• Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop
surface. Carefully check the bottom of pans.
• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.
• Do not use cookware with any dirt build-up on the bottom.
• Always clean the cooktop surface before cooking.
• Be careful not to place aluminum baking sheets or aluminum frozen entrée
containers on a hot cooktop surface. It will leave shinny dots or markings
on the cooktop surface. These markings are permanent and cannot be
cleaned off.
Cleaning Methods:
• 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.
• 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.

• All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.
Cleaning Method:
• Clean with warm, soapy water, and use steel-wool pad if necessary.
• Rinse with clean water and dry.
Oven Cavity
• Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures,
foods react with porcelain, so staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots
can result.
Cleaning Method:
• Mild detergent and warm water.
Note:
• Do not use oven cleaners.
• To better reach and clean the oven cavity, detach the oven door
from the range. See "Removing/Assembling Oven Door" section in

• Most cleaning can be done with the drawer in place; however, the
drawer may be removed if further cleaning is needed. See
"Removing/Assembling Storage Drawer" section in the Installation
Instructions manual.
Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature is designed to use water and a low oven temperature
to generate steam to warm the oven interior surfaces and loosen light soils
before hand-cleaning.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
• Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance during th e
cleaning cycle. The outside of the range can become hot to the touch.
• During the cleaning cycle, the oven becomes hot enough to caus e
burns. Wait until the cycle is over before wiping the inside surface of th e
oven. Failure to do so may result in burns.
• Oven surfaces may be hot after the cleaning cycle. Use caution and wear
rubber gloves while cleaning to prevent burns.
• Hot surfaces may create hot steam in wet sponge or cloth while cleaning .
If steam is evident when wiping out oven, wait until oven has coole d
slightly.
52
Before Starting Steam Clean
• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before starting. If your oven
cavity is above 150°F (65°C), HOT will appear in the display when you
attempt to select Steam Clean mode.
• Remove all items from the oven, including oven racks.
• Wipe any heavy spillovers or excess debris. Scrape off and remove any
burnt-on debris with a plastic scraper. (Suggested plastic scrapers
includes hard plastic spatula, plastic pan scraper, plastic paint scraper, and
old credit card.)
• The range should be level to ensure that the bottom surface of the oven
cavity is entirely covered by water at the beginning of Steam Clean.
• For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral
deposits on the surfaces.
• For improved softening of tough stains, spray inside surfaces with water
spray bottle or wipe surfaces with a wet sponge before starting.
Setting Steam Clean
Start with oven at room temperature.
1. Remove oven racks and accessories from the oven.
2. Scrape off and remove any burnt-on debris with a plastic scraper.
3. Pour 10 oz or 300 ml of water onto the bottom center of the oven cavity.
The indentation on the oven bottom should be fully covered to submerge
all soils.
Note:
• For improved softening of tough stains on the walls and in the
corners of the oven, wipe inside surfaces with a wet sponge.
4. Close the oven door.
53
5. Press and hold Broil and Cook Time at the same time to select Steam
Clean mode.
Note:
• If your oven cavity is above 150°F (65°C), HOT will appear in the
