chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover
the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda.
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 suffi-
cient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns - among these surfaces are (identifica-
tion of surfaces - for example, oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven doors, and windows of oven doors).
Read and follow the below
instructions and precautions for unpacking,
installing, and servicing your appliance:
• Remove all tape and packaging before
using the oven. Destroy the carton and
plastic bags after unpacking the oven.
Never allow children to play with

Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition
and local electrical code requirements. In
Canada, install in accordance with CSA
Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical
code, Part 1, and local electrical code
requirements. Install only per installation
instructions provided in the literature
package for this oven.
• User Servicing—Do not repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless specifi-
cally recommended in the manuals. All
other servicing should be done only by a
qualified technician. This reduces the risk
of personal injury and damage to the
oven.
• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified
technician and an authorized repair
service. Know how to disconnect the
power to the oven at the circuit breaker or
fuse box in case of an emergency.
• Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails,
always turn off the oven. If the oven is not
turned off and the power resumes, the

• Never modify or alter the construction of
an oven by removing the leveling legs,
panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/
screws, or any other part of the oven.
• Cold temperatures can damage the elec-
tronic control. When using this appliance
for the first time, or when the appliance
has not been used for an extended period
of time, be sure the appliance has been in
temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC) for at
least 3 hours before turning on the power
to the appliance.
• Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type
fire extinguisher available, visible, and
easily located near the appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some
models). Stand to the side of the oven
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.
Touching surfaces in this area when the
oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can 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
in hot, do not let potholder contact hot
heating element in oven. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Remove all bakeware and
utensils before moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock,
or fire.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper bakeware and
always use the oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob or keypad controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware
with food on the cooking area before
turning it on. Turn the cooking area off
before removing the cookware.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Select cookware with
flat bottoms that match the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized
cookware may expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and
may result in the ignition of clothing or
other items. Using the proper cookware on
the cooking zone will improve efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface
elements — To reduce the risk of burns,
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 elements unattended
at high heat settings — Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Save these instructions for future reference.

• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use.
• When you are flaming foods under a
ventilating hood, turn on the fan.
• Improper cookware may break due to
sudden changes in temperature. Check
the cookware manufacturer’s recommen-
dations for cooktop use.
• Do not use decorative surface burner
covers. If an element is accidentally
turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERAMIC GLASS
COOKTOPS
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the
cooktop is broken, cleaning solutions and
spills may penetrate the 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
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE
Before manually cleaning any
part of the oven, be sure all controls are
turned off and the oven is cool. Cleaning a
hot oven can cause burns.
• Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do
not allow grease to accumulate.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mended directions for use of kitchen
cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that
excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to accumu-
late on the hood or filter. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning
hoods.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF-CLEANING
OVENS
• Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Before using self-clean, remove the broiler
pan, any food, utensils, and bakeware
from the oven. Remove oven racks unless
otherwise instructed.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners. No commer-
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the

Before Setting Surface Controls
Using proper cookware
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (Figure 2). Cookware should have flat bottoms that
make good contact with the entire surface heating element
(Figure 3). For detailed information about the ceramic cooktop,
refer to “Cooktop maintenance” on page 35.
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat
is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The
most popular materials available are:
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.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See
Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is
durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very
well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not
recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary
depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be
smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic
cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
Important note:
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting point of
cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly
especially if left empty, and they may bond to the ceramic
cooktop. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be
sure to follow all the cookware manufacturer’s suggestions when
using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be
sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element
outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed cookware should
be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements
in use and their settings are all factors that will affect the
amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface
elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot
enough to cause burns.
The size and type of cookware
used will influence the radiant ele-
ment power level setting needed
for best cooking results. Be sure to
follow the recommendations for
using proper cookware as illus-
trated in both Figure 2 and
Figure 3.
Figure 2: Testing cookware
Figure 3: Proper cookware placement
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced
.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to element
size.
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.

Before Setting Surface Controls
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the
selected setting the element will cycle on and off. The heating
element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent
heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the
element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will
allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
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 surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
Always lift cookware before moving on the
ceramic glass smoothtop. Any cookware that has rough or dirty
bottoms can mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface.
Always start with clean cookware.
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
Your appliance is equipped with two types of surface control
indicator lights that will glow on the control panel — the
Element On indicator lights and the Hot Surface indicator lights.
Each surface burner knob has it’s own Element On indicator
light, located above the knob, and it will glow when that specific
surface knob’s cooking element is on. A glance at these
indicator lights is an easy check to ensure that all surface
controls are off.
There are two Hot Surface indicator lights, both located on the
control panel. One is on the left side, and the other is on the
right. Each light corresponds to the three knobs on that side of
the panel. It glows whenever any of the three corresponding
surface cooking areas heat up and remains on until the cooktop
has cooled to a moderate level.
Important notes:
• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different
surface cooking elements at the same time unless the utensil
is designed for that purpose. This can cause uneven heating
results. This can also cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture
(for ceramic cooktop models only).
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often
if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care & Cleaning
and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care
Guide.
Figure 4: Control panel lights

Before Setting Surface Controls
Types of Cooktop Surface Elements
Your range is equipped with several radiant surface burners,
each with a unique wattage rating. The ability to heat food
quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage
increases. The patterns on the ceramic glass will outline the size
and type of element available.
Radiant Surface Elements, by Size and Type
• Two 6-inch single radiant elements, located at the right rear
and left rear positions. These elements have one round
outline pattern shown on the cooktop.
• The warmer zone feature is labeled WARM AND READY
ZONE and located at the center rear position of the
cooktop. It uses one round outline and is designed to keep
food warm only. To be used with foods already at serving
temperatures.
• The 9-inch TURBO BOIL FLEX radiant element is located at
the left front position.
• The 6-, 9-, 12-inch triple element is located at the right front
position. It allows the user to set the smaller inner portions
as a single element, both the inner and middle positions
together, or the inner, middle, and outer portions to heat
altogether. This triple element has two knob controls.
Important note:
For units with white glass cooktops, due to high intensity of heat
generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn
green when the element is first turned off. This phenomenon is
normal and the glass will come back to its original white color
after it has completely cooled down.
Home Canning
Canning can generate large amounts of steam.
Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to
vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful
micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed
completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but
steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required
time.
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning.
Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric
coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on
the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check
with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service
or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning infor-
mation.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat
for an extended amount of time.
• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid
canning on the same burner unit all day.
Figure 5: Surface element types

Setting Surface Controls
Radiant Surface Element Settings
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of
food being cooked will influence the surface element power
level setting needed for best cooking results.
The suggested settings found in Table 1 are based when cooking
with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary
when using other types of pans.
Important notes:
• Do not straddle cookware between two cooking surfaces
unless the cookware is designed specifically for that
purpose, such as a griddle.
• For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
• The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on
a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and
adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Refer to
Table 1 for suggested power level settings.
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often
if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
• A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too
small for the surface heating area.
Single Radiant Surface Elements
To operate the single radiant element:
Your range is equipped with two 6-inch single radiant elements,
located at the right rear and left rear positions. In addition, the
9-inch TURBO BOIL FLEX radiant element, located at the left
front position, acts as a single radiant element.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
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 surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (Figure 7). Turn the knob to
adjust the setting if desired.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element
OFF before removing the cookware.
Table 1: Suggested settings for single, dual, and triple radiant
surface elements

Setting Surface Controls
Triple Radiant Surface Element
To operate the triple radiant element:
The triple element is located at the right front position. It may be
set to heat as a 1 (single), 2 (double), or 3 (triple) element burner.
This triple element has two knob controls.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
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 surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the Temperature Knob, located on the far
right of the display, clockwise to begin heating the element.

Setting Surface Controls
Important notes:
• For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
• The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on
a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and
adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Refer to
Table 1 for suggested power level settings.
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often
if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
• A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too
small for the surface heating area.
Turbo Boil Flex Element
Your range is equipped with a 9-inch TURBO BOIL FLEX radiant
element, located at the left front position. This higher wattage
radiant element is best used when bringing larger quantities of
liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of
food.
To operate the Turbo Boil Flex element:
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
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 surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
1. Place correctly sized cookware on Turbo Boil Flex radiant
surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Turbo Boil Flex surface element control
knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure 13).
Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired, ranging from
WARM & SIMMER to MED to TURBO BOIL.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element
OFF before removing the cookware.

Warm & Ready Zone
The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. Use the warmer zone feature to keep
cooked foods hot such as vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups,
stews, breads, pastries, and oven-safe dinner plates. Always
start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with the warmer zone.
All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a
lid to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries
or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture
to escape. Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recom-
mended for oven and cooktop use on the warmer zone.
Setting warmer zone control:
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger-
ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.
Unlike other radiant surface elements, the
warmer zone will not glow red when it is hot. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns can occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates
will be hot.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
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 surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
1. Place correctly-sized cookware on the Warm & Ready
Zone.
2. Turn the warmer zone control knob clockwise to the On
position. The warmer zone uses a pre-set temperature
designed to keep foods at serving temperatures (Figure 16).
3. When ready to serve, turn the warmer zone control knob to
OFF position. The warmer zone will remain hot until the hot
surface indicator light turns off.
Important notes:
• The warmer zone temperature level may be adjusted at any
time when the warmer zone is turned on.
• Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for
oven and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or
aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can
melt onto the cooktop.

Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented through its upper front frame. When the oven
is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary
for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block oven vent. Steam or moisture may appear near the
oven vent. This is normal.
Important: Some models are equipped with a cooling fan that
runs during the cooking process and during self-clean to cool
internal electronic components. It is normal for this fan to
continue to run for an extended period of time, even when the
appliance is off.
Oven Rack Types
Oven Rack Descriptions
• The range’s fully-extendable oven Glide Rack allows you to
check on food without removing it from the oven by effort-
lessly extending your food away from the oven.
• The appliance’s two, flat handle oven racks may be used for
most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack
positions. It contains a handle to facilitate the sliding of the
rack when it contains large amounts of food.
Important: The two, flat handle oven racks are lubricated
porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during the
self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off
the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven racks always
have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack
performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides
of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack
becomes difficult to slide.
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Oven Racks
Protective Liners — Do not line the oven walls,
racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil.
Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results,
and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During
self clean temperatures, the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
To Arrange: Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool (prior to operating the oven).
To Remove: Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches
the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To Replace: Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides
of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and
slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level
before using.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
bakeware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back
of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the
bakeware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Glide Racks
The fully-extendable Glide Rack is an extendable rack that
makes food preparation easier. It has glide tracks that allow the
rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides
of the oven wall.
Removing and Replacing the Oven Glide Racks
To remove the oven Glide Rack:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
Always remove/replace the oven racks before
turning on the oven (when the oven is cool).
1. Lift up on the release lever located across the lower front of
the rack, as shown in Figure 20.
2. While holding up the release lever (Figure 21), pull the
Glide Rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached,
use two hands if necessary.
3. Using both hands, grasp the upper and lower portions of the
Glide Rack (Figure 22).
4. Lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the
rack away from the oven.
5. Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions
together when removing or handling the Glide Rack. The
rack portions move independently and are difficult to
handle unless held together.
To replace the Glide Rack:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
Always remove/replace the oven racks before
turning on the oven (when the oven is cool).
1. Grasp both upper and lower portions of the Glide Rack
(Figure 22).
2. Lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls.
3. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack
completely into position. Some force may be necessary to
make sure the oven rack has snapped into place.
Important: The Glide Rack is porcelain enameled and may be
left in the oven to be cleaned during the self-clean cycle. After
the cycle, or anytime the gliding is rough, the Glide Rack
extension tracks should be treated with graphite lubrication.
Important notes:
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close
the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned inside
the oven cavity.
For instructions on how to best clean these oven racks, see
“Cooktop maintenance” on page 35.

To replace the interior oven light, see “Replacing the Oven
Light” on page 38.
Important note:
For best baking results, do not leave the oven light on while
cooking.
Accela-Heat
Use the Accela-Heat feature whenever you wish to start baking
immediately, without the need for preheating. This feature
provides good results when preparing convenience foods, such
as cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza, bacon, french fries, and tater
tots. Food will finish baking in the time stated in the cooking
directions without the additional time ordinarily required for
preheating. During Accela-Heat, the fan will pulse on and off,
and the bake element will cycle on and off to maintain the set
temperature for precise baking.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 200°F
(93°C) to 550°F (288°C).
To set Accela-Heat:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
1. Remove food from packaging and arrange on a baking
pan.
2. Place pan in oven on rack position 3 (Figure 27) and close
oven door. Accela-Heat is designed for baking on a single
oven rack placed in the center of the oven.
3. Turn the oven mode selector to the Accela-Heat position.
4. Turn the oven temperature selector to the desired tempera-
ture. Baking will immediately begin.
5. To stop baking turn oven mode knob to OFF. Also return
temperature selector knob to the OFF position.
Accela-Heat best practices:
• Always place the food in the oven on rack position 3.
Accela-Heat is designed for baking on a single oven rack,
placed in the center of the oven.
• When using Accela-Heat, use bakeware with low or no
sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
• Food that comes in strips, such as fish sticks and chicken
tenders, should be placed on the pan with the ends pointing
to the sides of the oven.
• Follow the package directions for food preparation time
and temperature. Accela-Heat works best when cooking
foods longer than 10 minutes. If directions call for a shorter
cooking time, a few extra minutes may be required for
optimal cooking results.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake
time.

Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking using
normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indicating
when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food
in the oven. The bake element will cycle on and off to maintain
the set bake temperature for precise baking.
During preheat, the convection fan will run to help heat the oven
to the set temperature. The fan will pulse on and off after the set
temperature is reached.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 200°F
(93°C) to 550°F (288°C).
To set Bake for oven temperature of 350°F (177°C):
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom.
To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake
foods in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.
1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions for the
item(s) to be baked.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to the Bake position.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. PREHEAT will begin and the oven temperature LED will turn
on and sound an acceptance tone. The oven will begin
heating. PREHEATING will appear in the display.
5. When the set temperature is reached, the PREHEAT light
will turn off and a reminder chime will sound alerting you to
place food in oven. Set either timer to keep track of actual
cooking time if necessary.
6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the tempera-
ture selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF posi-
tions.
Important note:
If Bake is active without a cook time setting, the oven will remain
on for 12 hours before turning off automatically unless it is
cancelled. To bake longer than 12 hours, see “Changing Between
Continuous Bake Setting or 12 Hour Energy Saving” on page 18
for instructions.
Baking Tips:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for
best results.
• Convection baking is preferred for multiple rack cooking.
• For best results when baking cookies using two oven racks,
place racks in positions 3 and 5 (Figure 28). Use flat rack in
position 3 and Glide Rack in position 5.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks,
place racks in positions 1 and 4 (Figure 28) and place pans
as shown in Figure 29. Use flat rack in position 1 and Glide
Rack in position 4.
• When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as
shown in Figure 29. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
•
Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require
reducing oven temperature.

Setting Broil
Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure
to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is
factory preset to broil at 550°F (288°C). The suggested broil
settings in Table 3 are recommendations only. Depending on
cooking preferences you can increase or decrease cooking times
or move food to a different rack position. If the food you are
broiling is not listed in n Table 3, follow the instructions provided
in your cookbook and watch the item closely.
To set Broil:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cook-
top will become very hot which can cause burns.
Should an oven fire occur, keep oven door
closed and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or
flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
1. Position bakeware in oven to the preferred rack position
(Figure 31). Close oven door.
2.
Turn the oven mode selector knob to Broil. The indicator
light will flash.
Turn the temperature selector knob to Broil. The
indicator light will turn on and remain lit. For optimum
browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding
food. brl will appear in the display.
3.
Place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the
broiler pan directly under the broiler element.
4. Turn the temperature and the selector knobs to OFF when
broiling is complete or to cancel broil
.
Important notes:
• Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce smoke. If
smoke is excessive, place food further away from the broil
element.
• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. The door
must be closed for broil to operate. If the door is left open
the display will show "d-O". Close the door for the function
to resume. When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to
the stop position before turning or removing food.
• Broiler pans and inserts allow grease to drain away from
the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without the

1. The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poison-
ing organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is
145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F.
2. Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Always watch food carefully
to prevent burning.
3. Use the off-set or half-rack (if available) only in the top position.

Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 32). This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using
two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the
food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and
pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan
will bake faster and more evenly with the convection feature.
Multiple rack baking may slightly increase bake time for some
foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Convection Bake may be set for any oven temperature between
200°F (93°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Benefits of Convection Bake:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance
• Foods bake more evenly
• Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
Important note:
The convection bake feature is best used when the recipe
instructions have been written especially for convection baking.
To set Conv Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F
(177°C):
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom.
To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake
foods in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to Conv Bake.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. The oven temperature light will blink for a few seconds
before confirming the setting. The convection fan will turn
on and the oven will begin heating.
5. Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven will
sound a chime indicating the food items can be placed in
the oven.
6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the tempera-
ture selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF posi-
tions.
Important:
• The convection fan will begin rotating once convection bake
or convection roast has been activated. If the oven door is
opened when the convection function is active, the convec-
tion fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

Convection Baking Tips:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It
may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook
time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark
bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• When using convection, use bakeware with low sides. This
allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
• Cookies should be baked on a pan with low or no sides for
best results.
• Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly
with the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe’s
recommended temperature by 25° for best results. Follow
the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended
cook time.
• When using convection bake, cook time reductions may
vary depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for
best results. Place the pans as shown in Figure 33.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake
time.
• Glass bakeware may require reduced temperatures.
• For best results when baking cookies using two oven racks,
place racks in positions 3 and 5 (Figure 34). Use flat rack in
position 3 and glide rack in position 5.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks,
place racks in positions 1 and 4 (Figure 34) and place pans
as shown in Figure 33. Use flat rack in position 1 and glide
rack in position 4.
• When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as
shown in Figure 33. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Oven Controls
Setting Convection Roast
The Convection Roast function combines a cook cycle with the
convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using
the Convection Roast function will be juicier, and poultry will be
crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, gently
browning the exterior and sealing in the juices and flavors. Use
this mode when cooking speed is desired.
Convection Roast may be set for any oven temperature between
200°F (93°C) to 550°F (288°C).
To set Convection Roast:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and oven racks will
become very hot which can cause burns. Do not cover the broil
pan/insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on
the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on
fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a grease fire
to spread and cause personal injury.
1. Arrange oven racks.
Position bakeware in oven to the
preferred rack position (Figure 31). Close oven door.
2. Turn oven mode selector to Conv Roast.
3. Turn oven temperature selector to desired roasting tempera-
ture.
4. Turn the temperature and the selector knobs to OFF when
broiling is complete or to cancel broil
.
Important note:
• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
Roasting Rack Instructions (if equipped):
When preparing meats for convection roasting, use broiler pan
and insert along with the roasting rack. The broiler pan will
catch grease spills and the insert will prevent grease splatters.
The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the
meat.
1. Place the oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom oven
rack position.
2. Place the insert/grid on the broiler pan. Make sure the
insert is securely seated on top of the broiler pan. Do not
use the broiler pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert
with aluminum foil.
3. Next, place the roasting rack on the insert/grid. Make sure
the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler
pan. The roasting rack allows the heated air to circulate
under the food for even cooking and helps to increase
browning on the underside.
4. Place meat (fat side up) on insert (Figure 35). Place
prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.
Figure 35: Meat, insert placement

Oven Controls
Convection Roasting tips:
• Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary for
most meats and poultry.
• Arrange oven racks so the food is in the center of the oven.
• Since convection roast cooks faster, you can reduce cook
times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe
(check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook
time until the desired doneness is obtained.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will
prevent the meat from browning properly.
• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and
time recommendations or refer to the convection roast
recommendations in Table 4.
• Use the broiler pan and insert, as well as the roasting rack
(Figure 35) (some models). The broiler pan will catch grease
spills, and the insert will help prevent splatters. The roasting
rack will hold the meat.
• Do not use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid
with aluminum foil.
• Always pull the rack out to the stop position before
removing food.
• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack.
Use a deep pan instead on rack position 1.
Setting Warm
The Warm setting on the oven temperature control knob is pre-
set to maintain a temperature of 170°F (77°C) for keeping
baked foods at serving temperature until canceled. The feature
may be used with Warm & Hold, Bake, Conv Bake, Conv Roast,
and Accela-Heat.
To set Warm:
1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to Warm & Hold, Bake, Conv
Bake, Conv Roast, or Accela-Heat.
3. Set the oven temperature selector to WARM. The indicator
light will blink and then an acceptance chime will sound.
4. The preheat indicator light will turn on and stay on until the
oven reaches 170°
F and HLd appears in the display.
PREHEATING will appear in the display.

Oven Controls
Warm & Hold
Warm & Hold should only be used with foods that are already
at serving temperatures. Warm & Hold will keep cooked foods
warm and ready for serving for up to 3 hours after cooking has
finished. After 3 hours the Warm & Hold will shut-off automati-
cally. Warm & Hold will keep the oven temperature at 170° F
(77°C).
To set Warm & Hold:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the refriger-
ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.
1. If needed, arrange oven racks and place cooked food in
oven.
1. Turn the oven mode control to Warm & Hold.
2. Turn the oven temperature control to Warm. The display will
show HLd and the oven will warm to 170°F and remain at
that temperature for up to 3 hours unless canceled.
3. To cancel Warm & Hold, turn both the oven mode and oven
temperature controls to OFF.
For best results:
• Warm & Hold will maintain the oven temperature at 170° F
(77°C) for 3 hours.
• Always start with hot food. Do not use the keep warm
feature to heat cold food.
• Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic containers may
need higher temperature settings compared to food in
regular containers. Avoid repeated openings of the oven, it
will allow hot air to escape and the food to cool.
• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food to increase
moisture content.
• Avoid repeated openings of the oven. It will allow hot air to
escape and the food to cool.
Bread Proof
The Bread Proof feature maintains a warm environment useful
for rising yeast-leavened products. The Bread Proof feature is
activated by using just the temperature control. The bread proof
temperature is pre-set to warm the oven to 100°F.
Bread Proof may be set for any oven temperature between
100°F (37°C) to 110°F (43°C).
To turn on the Bread Proof feature:
1. Place dough on the oven rack and arrange oven racks on
the desired position. Bake with oven door closed.
2. Turn the oven mode control to Bake.
3. Turn the oven temperature control to Bread Proof.
4. The display will show PRF. The control will accept the setting
and PRF will change to show the setting of 100°F. During
this time the display will show PREHEATING until the oven
reaches the pre-set bread proof temperature.
5. To turn off the Bread Proof feature turn both of the knobs to
OFF.
For best results:
• No need to preheat for this feature.
• Proof bread until dough has doubled in bulk.
• Lightly cover the dough.
• Place a shallow pan with 1 to 3 cups of boiling water on the
lowest rack position to keep the air moist inside the oven
cavity.
• Allow at least 1” between edge of pan and walls of oven.
• Use the oven light to check progress. Do not open the oven
door.

Meat Probe
When cooking meat such as roasts, hams, or poultry, use the
meat probe function to check the internal temperature without
guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts, testing
the internal temperature is the best method to insure properly
cooked meats.
The following temperature settings apply to the probe function:
• Default: 170°F (77°C)
• Minimum: 140°F (60°C)
• Maximum: 210°F (99°C)
The probe receptacle is located at the top of the oven cavity as
show in Figure 36.
Proper meat probe placement
Always insert meat probe so that the probe tip rests in the center
of the thickest part of meat. Do not allow meat probe to touch
bone, fat, gristle, or bakeware.
Tips for Probe Placement
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert meat probe into the center
of lowest large muscle or joint.
• For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert meat
probe into center of food.
• When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, insert meat probe as shown
(Figure 38).
Easy Probe
Easy Probe allows the user to monitor the temperature of the
meat while a cooking function is actively running. This feature
does not cancel the cooking function when the meat probe
temperature is reached. In order to activate the easy probe
feature, simply insert the meat probe while an active cooking
function is running. The probe temperature will immediately be
shown on the display.
For best results:
• Use only the meat probe supplied with appliance. Using any
other probe or device may result in damage to appliance
and the meat probe receptacle.
• Never leave or store meat probe inside oven.
• Defrost food completely before inserting meat probe to
avoid damaging probe.
• The probe feature must be set before setting the cooking
mode and oven temperature.
• If a timer is running when the meat probe is plugged in, the
control will sound a triple beep once and the timer will keep
running. The timer must be canceled before the probe
temperature can be set.
• If the meat probe is unplugged during cooking function, or
plugged in during BROIL, the oven will stop cooking and
turn off.
• When the meat probe is set correctly, the control will signal
an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the
desired set target temperature. When active, the internal
food temperature is visible in the display during the cooking
process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open
the oven door to check the thermometer.

meat probe temperature will appear in the display until the
meat probe target temperature is reached. PROBE TEMP
will appear in the display, and you will be able to watch as
the meat probe temperature rises to the desired tempera-
ture.
8. When the internal temperature of the food is within 10° of
the set temperature, the control will chime and a CHECK
FOOD reminder will appear in the display.
Important note: If the meat probe temperature should exceed
the maximum allowable temperature, the oven control will beep
and HOT will appear in the display for 40 seconds to notify that
the probe temperature is too high.
9. Once the target temperature of the food is reached, the
control will chime to signal the end of cooking. At this time
the will turn off and the display will show the FOOD
READY and HLd messages.
10. The display will continue to show the set meat probe
temperature until either HLd ends or the meat probe is
disconnected from the receptacle.
Note: If the meat probe is plugged while the oven is in a
function which allows probe cooking, it may be set the following
way:
1. Cancel the active cooking function by turning both the

The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When first
using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures.
Important note: Do not use oven thermometers such as those
found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside
your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to
40 degrees from actual temperatures.
If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the
temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temper-
ature to be more or less than what is displayed by accessing the
UPO (User Programmable Offset).
Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting
higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking
results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is
needed.

Oven Controls
Clean
A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well
above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature elim-
inates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
The Self Clean function allows you to set a cleaning time from 2
hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour cleaning time is recommended for
normal cleaning, 2 hours for light cleaning, and 4 hours for
heavy cleaning.
While in clean mode, the oven heats to temperatures much
higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal
expansion and contraction are normal. Odors are normal as the
food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the
oven vent. If heavy spills are not wiped up before cleaning, they
may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is
normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use
an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
Read Before Starting Self Clean:
Do not leave small children unattended near
the appliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the
oven can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the oven 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 of the oven.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self cleaning cycle of any
oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Do not force the door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening
the oven door after self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot
and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side
of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or
steam to escape.
Important notes:
Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from
oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks
are not removed they may discolor.
• Remove all items from the oven including bakeware, utensils
and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand
high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.
• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior.
• 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 (Figure 41). These areas heat sufficiently
to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting
Self Clean.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 41). 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 to the door
gasket.
• Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill on
the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before
starting a self clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water
and a cloth. Large spill residue 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 leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
• This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks,
which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do
not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is
important that the sides of the oven racks always have a
light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack
performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the
sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the
rack becomes difficult to slide.
• If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self
clean cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool
down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes
about one hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take
about 4 hours to complete.
• The timers do not function during a clean cycle.

Oven Controls
To set the controls for a 3 hour cleaning cycle to start immedi-
ately and shut off automatically:
It is recommended to use a 2 hour clean cycle for light soils, a 3
hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.
1. Turn both the oven mode and oven temperature selectors to
CLEAN. The display will show a 4 hour time (normal clean).
2. Use the and
keys quickly to select a 2 or 4
hour time if desired. If this is not done completely, the arrow
keys will vanish from the display.
3. Once the control accepts a clean time, the REMOVE RACKS
message will blink in the display. If the door is open the
CLOSE DOOR message will also appear. If the user does
not shut the door within 3 minutes of the display showing
the door open message, the control will cancel the Clean
function.
Important: When the oven is set to run a self-clean cycle, the
motor door lock will begin locking the oven door. Do not open
the oven door while the lock motor is running or when any
locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is
completely locked in about 15 seconds.
Important: It is recommended to remove all non-porcelain oven
racks from the oven during self-clean cycles, but the porcelain
Glide Rack may be left in the oven if the rack is soiled. After a
self-clean cycle, or anytime the gliding is rough, the glide rack
should be treated with graphite lubrication.
4. After the REMOVE RACKS message ends the oven door will
begin locking. Do not attempt to open the door while the
motor door latch mechanism is locking.
5. CLn and the lock icon will appear in the display when the
door is fully locked. The oven will start the Clean function.
6. The time left in the clean will be displayed under the CLn
message.
When the Clean time ends:
Do not force the oven door open when self-
clean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking
system. Use caution when opening the door after self-clean is
complete; the oven may still be very hot.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear
to have cooled after they have been turned off. The elements
may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are
touched before they have cooled.
1. CLn will change to Hot in the display and the lock icon will
remain visible. The oven door remains locked until the oven
has cooled to a safe temperature and the motor door lock
unlocks automatically.
2. When the temperature falls to the safe level, the display
will fade out Hot from the timer display.
3. The display will then fade in
--- (dashes) to prompt user to
rotate both the oven mode and temperature selector knobs
to the OFF position.

Care and Cleaning
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Appliance
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as
soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty and time of major cleaning later.
Surface Type Recommendation
Control knobs
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trim
Aluminum, plastic, or vinyl trim
For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. For more
difficult soils and build-up grease, use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and
water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water;
dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first.
Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area. Do not use large amounts
of water on the control panel. Excess water on the control area may cause damage to the
appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper
towels. They will damage the finish.
Control panel
Control keypad membrane
Decorative trim (some models)
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off and activate oven lockout (on some
models). Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean
using hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or
sponge before wiping control panel, especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance.
Porcelain enamel parts Gentle scrubbing with a soapy non-abrasive 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 non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauer-
kraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even
after cleaning.
Oven interior Remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting Self Clean. Clean any
soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For very important
cleaning precautions, be sure to read all the instructions on “Clean” on page 32.
Porcelain coated oven racks This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during
the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important
that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain
optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after
every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
For instructions on how to care for your Glide Racks, see “Caring for Your Porcelain Enameled
Glide Rack” on page 37.
Oven door Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not immerse the door
in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use
oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of
the oven door.
Ceramic cooktop Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Cooktop Cleaning” and “Cooktop
maintenance” on page 35.
Stainless Steel (some models) Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high
concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-
free cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish
stains may occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with
hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
35
Care and Cleaning
Cooktop maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your
ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recom-
mended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (on
the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner,
item number 40079). Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-
scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled
from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a
protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and
abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop
can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks
should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled
using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become
permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough
bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
Do Not:
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace
with clean cookware before using.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen.
• Cook food directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop,
they make cause it to crack.
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
Cooktop Cleaning
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot
cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the
controls are turned to off and the cooktop is cool. The glass
surface could be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
For light to moderate soil
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the
cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type
no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface.
Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no
residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the
soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic
type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do
not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade
scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface.
Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff
surface clean.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or
melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage
(such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not
removed immediately. After turning the surface elements off, use
a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape
the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop
to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Care and Cleaning
Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as
metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop,
making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the
cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they
can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and
cause discoloration.
Important note:
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that
have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with
aluminum foil. Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from
the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because
the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in
hot, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If
necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.
Aluminum foil and utensils
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can
damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking
utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements
under ANY circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much
lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when
aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If
aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the
cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed,
but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface,
permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Care and Cleaning
Caring for Your Porcelain Enameled Glide Rack
Handle oven racks only when they are cool.
After cooking or after the self clean cycle, racks will be very hot
and can cause burns.
Important Notes:
• The Glide Rack is porcelain enameled and may be left in
the oven to be cleaned during the self-clean cycle. After the
cycle, or anytime the gliding is rough, the glide rack
extension tracks should be treated with graphite lubrication.
• Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based
lubrication products on the Glide Rack extension tracks. Use
only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite
lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer.
• The rack support (see step 7 image) on each side of the
rack will contact the oven wall, and must always have a
light coating of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the rack supports after every self clean
cycle and when the rack becomes difficult to reposition in
the oven.
To lubricate the Glide Rack:
1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a
large flat surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth.
Fully extend the rack.
2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track using a
cloth or sponge.
3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Place
four drops of graphite lubrication along the tracks (see area
circled on figure below). Repeat on both sides of the Glide
Rack.
4. Extend and return the Glide Rack several times along the
tracks to distribute the lubrication.
5. Turn Glide Rack over. Shake graphite lubrication very well
before applying. Place four drops of graphite lubrication
along the tracks. Repeat on both sides of the Glide Rack.
6. Extend and return the Glide Rack several times along the
tracks to distribute the lubrication.
7. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the rack support on
each side of the Glide Rack. Keeping the rack supports
lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when
changing rack positions.
8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.

problem listed:
Problem Solution
Poor baking results • Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the
oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Bakeware may be too lightweight or
warped. Use heavier quality bakeware so foods being prepared may bake more evenly.
Preheat oven to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the
recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. See “Adjusting the Oven Tempera-
ture” on page 31 if you feel the oven is too hot or cold.
Entire appliance does not operate. • Make sure power cord is plugged properly into outlet.
• The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the oven.
• Be sure oven controls are set properly. See “Setting The Clock” on page 18 and review
instructions for the desired cooking function in this manual.
• Service wiring is not complete. For assistance call 1-844-553-6667 in the U.S.A. and 1-
800-469-4663 in Canada (see back cover).
• Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company.
• Short in cord/plug. Contact your dealer, installing agent, or authorized servicer to
replace cord/plug.
• House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped immediately following installation.

Oven light does not work. • Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See “Replacing the Oven Light” on page 38.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
• Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe up
excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when using
broil, see “Setting Broil” on page 22.
Self clean does not work. • Oven control not set properly. Make sure the oven door is closed. Make sure you have
removed the oven racks and the oven rack supports from the oven. Review “Clean” on
page 32.
Oven racks do not slide easily. • This appliance comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven
during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is
important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil.
To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides
of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
Glide Rack does not slide smoothly • Glide Rack needs lubrication. For instructions on how to care for your Glide Rack, see
“Caring for Your Porcelain Enameled Glide Rack” on page 37.
Surface element does not heat. •
No power to the appliance. See “Entire appliance does not operate” in this table.

844-553-6667 in the U.S.A. and 1-800-469-4663 in Canada for service (see back
cover).
• Lightweight or warped pans were used. Be sure to use proper cookware. Use only flat
bottom, evenly balanced medium or heavyweight cookware. Heavy and medium weight
pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
Surface element turns off by itself. • This is normal. The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature
rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle
ON and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consis-
tent heat during the OFF cycle.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop
surface.
• Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches.
Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches
do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.
• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See
“Cooktop Cleaning” on page 35.
• Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
Metalmarks. • Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on
cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream to remove the marks. See
“Cooktop maintenance” on page 35.
Brown streaks or specks. • Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See “Cooktop
maintenance” on page 35.
Areas of discoloration with metallic
sheen.
• Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic glass cooktop cleaning
cream. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.

broiling.
• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in the “Setting Broil” on page 22.
• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty
edges to prevent curling.
• Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.
• Insert on broiler pan wrong side up. Grease does not drain into broiler pan. Always place
the insert on the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease to drip
into the pan.
• Broiler pan used without insert or insert cover with aluminum foil. Do not use the broiler
pan without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum foil.
Convection fan does not rotate • Oven door is open. Convection fan will turn off if oven door is opened when convection is
active. Close oven door.
