IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-
Tip device supplied.
Check if the device is installed and engaged properly. Make sure the chain fits securely in
the slot of the bracket.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged
when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injury.
WARNING
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified installer in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, storage drawer or cooktop.
They could damage the range and even tip it
over, causing severe personal injury.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide
during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using
a ventilation fan or hood.

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance from
your range.
Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored
over the range. Flammable material could
be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surface units or heating elements and
may cause severe burns.
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units or heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of potholders.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely 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 touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact, the
surface units, areas nearby the surface units
or any interior area of the oven; allow
sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around
the oven door and metal trim parts above
the door.
REMEMBER:
The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
Stand away from the range when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
After broiling, always take the broiler pan
out of the range and clean it. Leftover grease
in the broiler pan can catch on fire the next
time you use the pan.
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this manual.
Improper installation of aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
OVEN
Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating
of any kind should be used in or around any
part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners
will damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop service; others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
the handle of a container should be turned
toward the center of the range without
extending over nearby surface units.
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
When preparing flaming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating
of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not allow water, other liquids or grease
to remain on the cooktop or the control
panel.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such as
sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and
rivets on clothing.
Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately should
your glass cooktop become broken.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
Do not stand on the glass cooktop. The weight
may cause the top to break.
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage the cooktop and the pan.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
NOTE:
We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar
spills are the exception to this. Please see the
Cleaning the glass cooktop
section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all cleaning cream residue.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

About the radiant surface units…
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused
by the heating of new parts and insulating
materials and will disappear in a short time.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
over-cooking, remove pans from the
surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface
unit until it has cooled completely.
Before you use the cooktop for the
first time, clean it with cleaning cream.
This helps protect the top and makes
clean-up easier.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are
removable using the cleaning cream or
full strength white vinegar.
Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can
cause damage.
Do not use the cooktop surface as a
cutting board.

Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service
Selecting types of cookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum
residues sometimes appear as scratches
on the cooktop, but can be removed if
cleaned immediately. Because of its low
melting point, thin weight aluminum
should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not
let these pots boil dry. Overheated
metal can bond to glass cooktops. An
overheated copper bottom pot will
leave a residue that will permanently
stain the cooktop if not removed
immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered
Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, as it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over
the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball® and
Kerr® and the department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support
rings.
Placing the ring over the surface unit
will cause a build-up of heat that will
damage the cooktop.
Do not use round bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, so that
when placed correctly on the supports,
they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out until it stops.
To remove a shelf,
pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace,
place the end of the shelf
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the shelf in.
The oven has 4 shelf positions.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Press the
BAKE
pad.
Press the
INCREASE
or
DECREASE
pad to set the oven temperature.
To change the oven temperature during the
Bake cycle, press the BAKE pad and set the
new temperature.
Press the
START
pad. When the
oven starts to heat, the changing
temperature will be in the display.
The display starts changing once
the temperature reaches 100°F.
When the oven reaches the

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for
it. Preheating is necessary for good
results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when the
oven is preheated and the display will show
your set temperature. This will take
approximately 10–15 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than
one pan, place the pans so each has at
least 1to 1
1
2 of air space around it.
If baking four cake layers at the same
time, place two layers on rack B and
two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on
the rack so one is not directly above
the other.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the
grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent
fat and meat juices from draining into
the broiler pan. The juices could
become hot enough to catch on fire.
If you do not cut the slits, you are
essentially frying, not broiling.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the
heat circulation and result in poor
baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Using the convection oven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods
of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
Adapting Recipes…
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When baking, reduce baking
temperature by 25°F.
No need to preheat when cooking
longer than 15 minutes.
Use pan size recommended.
Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been
developed using commercial convection
ovens. For best results in this oven,
preheat the oven and use the temperature
on the package.
To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are
some general guidelines.
Convection Bake
Ideal for evenly browned baked foods
cooked on multiple shelves.
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
Good results with cookies, biscuits,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet
rolls, angel food cake and bread.
Heat comes from the heating element
in the rear of the oven. The convection
fan circulates the heated air evenly
over and around the food. Preheating
is not necessary with foods having a
bake time of over 15 minutes.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating
element. The convection fan circulates
the heated air evenly over and around
the food. Meat and poultry are
browned on all sides as if they were
cooked on a rotisserie. Using the
roasting rack provided, heated air will
be circulated over, under and around
the food being roasted. The heated air
seals in juices quickly for a moist and
tender product while, at the same time,
creating a rich golden brown exterior.
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on the
lowest shelf position (A) on a shelf.
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack
for best convection roasting results.
The pan is used to catch grease spills
and the grid is used to prevent grease
spatters. Place the meat on the special
roasting rack. The rack holds the meat.
The rack allows the heated air to
circulate under the meat and increase
browning on the underside of the meat
or poultry.
Place the shelf in the lowest shelf
position (A).
Place the grid on the broiler pan
and put the roasting rack over them
making sure the posts on the
roasting rack fit into the holes in
the broiler pan.
In a convection oven, a fan circulates
hot air over, under and around the
food. This circulating hot air is evenly
distributed throughout the oven
cavity. As a result, foods are evenly
cooked and browned—often in less
time than with regular heat.

Grid
Broiler pan

background
Using the convection oven.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven. If
you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended
for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F. can also be used, when oven is
below 400°F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a flat cookie
sheet instead of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan
with high sides.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Press the
CONVECTION BAKE
or
CONVECTION ROAST
pad.
Using the
INCREASE
or
DECREASE
pads, enter the desired oven
temperature.

START
pad.
To change the oven temperature, press
the
CONVECTION BAKE
or
CONVECTION
ROAST
pad and then the
INCREASE
or
DECREASE
pads to set the new
temperature.
When the oven starts to heat the
changing temperature, starting at
100°F., will be displayed. When the
oven reaches the temperature you set,
3 beeps will sound.
Press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad when
finished.
NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened but the heat will not turn off.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked on 2 or 3 shelves at a time. Multi-
shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall
result is time saved.
When baking on 3 shelves, divide the
oven into thirds by placing the regular
shelves in first (A) and fourth (D)
positions, with the offset shelf in the
second (B) position.
For 2-shelf baking, place the shelves in
the B and D positions.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust
the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your
oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Press the

and
BROIL HI/LO
pads at the same time for
3 seconds until the display
shows
SF.
Press the
BAKE
pad. A two digit
number shows in the display.

decrease the temperature in
1 degree increments.
When you have made the
adjustment, press the
START
pad to go back to the time of
day display. Use your oven as
you would normally.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the
texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick
spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Using the self-cleaning oven.
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.
Remove the shelves, broiler pan,
broiler grid, all cookware and any
aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Soil on the front frame of the range
and outside the gasket on the door will
need to be cleaned by hand. Clean
these areas with hot water, soap-filled
steel-wool pads or cleansers such as
Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean
water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for
the gasket to remain intact. If you
notice it becoming worn or frayed,
replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the
oven bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self-cleaning cycle
of any range. Move birds to another
well ventilated room.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)

After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the
oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth
after the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a
soap-filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly
with a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt
residue that cannot be removed by

cycle, repeat the cycle.
You cannot set the oven for cooking
until the oven is cool enough for the
door to unlock.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you
can press the

Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the
anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to
take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please note that the knobs are in the
OFF
position. When replacing the knobs,
check the
OFF
position to insure proper
placement.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do
not soak.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control
panel after each use. Clean with mild
soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads
or oven cleansers on the control
panel—they will damage the finish.
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot
water works well.

How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way
to remove the adhesive left from
packaging tape on new appliances is
an application of a household liquid
dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or
cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak. Wipe dry and then apply an
appliance polish to thoroughly clean
and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed
from all surfaces. It cannot be removed if it
is baked on.
The knob stem has a groove in each
side. The groove on one side has a
spring clip. The other groove is clear
(see illustration). Check the inside of
the knob and find the molded rib.
Replace the knob by fitting the molded
rib inside the knob into the clear groove
on the stem.
The knob stem is flat on one side (see
illustration). Check the inside of the
knob and find the molded flat area.
Replace the knob by fitting the molded
flat area inside the knob onto the flat
area of the stem.

The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door
gasket—it has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any
way or if it has become displaced
on the door, you should have it
replaced.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable for easier
access to the light bulb.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door,
open it to the broil
stop position. Grasp firmly on each
side and lift the door straight up and
off the hinges.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.
To replace the door,
make sure the
hinges are in the broil stop position.
Position the slots in the bottom of the
door squarely over the hinges and
slowly lower it over both hinges.
To clean the inside of the door:
Because the area inside the gasket
is cleaned during the self-clean
cycle, you do not need to clean this
by hand.
The area outside the gasket and the
front frame can be cleaned with a
soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad,
hot water and detergent. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution.
To clean the outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the
oven door. Rinse well. You may also
use a glass cleaner to clean the glass
on the outside of the door. Do not
let water drip into the vent openings.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,
tomato sauces and basting materials
containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped
up immediately. When surface is
cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
Oven Shelves/Roasting Rack
Clean the oven shelves and roasting
rack with an abrasive cleanser or steel
wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves
with clean water and dry with a clean
cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves and roasting rack
may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.
However, they will darken in color, lose their
luster and become hard to slide if cleaned
during the self-cleaning cycle.
To make the shelves slide more easily
apply a small amount of vegetable oil
or cooking oil to a paper towel and
wipe the edges of the oven shelves with
the paper towel.

Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening
at the rear of the cooktop.
Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or
any other material.

Clean these with soap and water or a
vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.
Oven Light Bulb
NOTE: The glass cover should be removed
only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may
offer a better grip.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect
electrical power to the range at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Let the bulb cool completely before
removing it. For your safety, do not
touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth.
If you do, the bulb will break.
To remove:
Turn the glass cover counterclockwise
1/4 turn until the tab of the glass cover
clears the grooves of the socket.
Remove the bulb.
To replace:
Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb.
Place the tab of the glass cover into
the groove of the socket. Turn the glass
cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
NOTE:
A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a
standard 40-watt household bulb.
Reconnect electrical power to the range.
For improved lighting inside the oven, clean
the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth.
This should be done when the oven is
completely cool.

Broiler Pan & Grid
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-
cleaning oven.
After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven. Remove the grid from
the pan. Carefully pour out the grease
from the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and
grid in hot water with a soap-filled or
plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the
grid with detergent while hot and cover
with wet paper towels or a dishcloth.
Soaking the pan will remove burned-on
foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be
cleaned with a commercial oven
cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also
be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the range.
After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift
the bake element. Clean with warm
soapy water.
Removable Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is a good place to store
cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics
and flammable material in the drawer.
Do not overload the storage drawer. If
the drawer is too heavy, it may slip off
the track when opened. To open the
drawer, grasp the center of the handle
and pull straight out.
To remove:
Pull the drawer straight out and lift
over the guide stops.
To replace:
Lift over the guide stops and slide the
drawer into place.
To clean both the inside and the
outside: Wipe with soap and water.
Rinse well.
Do not use cleansing powders or harsh
abrasives which may scratch the surface.
The storage drawer may be removed
for cleaning under the range.
background
Care and cleaning of the range.
If the range is removed for cleaning or any reason, make sure the chain is reattached.
Anti-Tip Device
Before placing range in the
counter, notice the location of the
stability bracket which is already
attached to the back of the range.
This location should work for
most installations. However, it
may be more convenient to hook
the stability chain to the unit when
the stability bracket is attached to
the upper set of holes in the back
of range.
The upper level set of holes is intended for use
with a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not
being used, make sure that there are no
structural supports for the countertop which
will interfere with the stability bracket when
located in the upper set of holes.
Fasten one end of the stability
chain to the floor or wall with the
long screw and washer supplied.
NOTE: If attaching to masonry, you can buy
suitable screws and anchors at hardware
stores. Use a masonry drill to drill the
required holes.
Make certain the screw is going into the wall
plate at the base of the wall or one of the
studs in the base of the wall.
Whether you attach the chain to the
wall or floor, be certain that the screw
is in at least 3/4 inch thickness of wood
other than baseboard and that there
are no electrical wires or plumbing in
the area which the screw could
penetrate. Attach the stability chain in
a location which will allow the chain to
be in line with the bracket side to aid as
much as possible when attached to the
unit. Test to see if the chain is securely
fastened by tugging on the chain.
Temporarily attach the loose end
of the chain to the rear of the
countertop with the tape from
the packaging.
Place the range in the counter
cutout leaving just enough room
between the back of the range
and the wall to reach the stability
bracket.
Hook the loose end of the chain
onto the bracket by slipping the
nearest link of the chain into the
slot in the bracket. Make sure the
chain is pulled as tight as possible
and that there is no excess slack in
the chain after the chain is
attached to the bracket.
Slide the range all the way back
into the counter. Once the range
is pushed back in place, there will
be a small amount of slack in the
chain. This is normal.
CAUTION: Excessive slack in the chain could
allow the range to tip over.

Cleaning the glass cooktop.
Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for the first time.
Also, clean the glass surface after each use. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
To clean the cooktop seal around the edge of the glass, let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes,
then wipe clean. Use a mild detergent if needed. Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal
because it will cut or damage it.
Normal Cleaning
Use only a recommended cleaning
cream, such as Cerama Brite or another
cooktop cleaning cream, on the glass
cooktop.
To maintain and protect the surface of
your new glass cooktop follow these
steps.
Before you use the cooktop for the
first time, clean it with cleaning
cream. This helps protect the top
and makes clean-up easier.
Clean the surface with the
cleaning cream after each use.
Rub a few drops (less is better)
of the cleaning cream onto soiled
area using a damp paper towel.
Buff with a dry paper towel until
all soil and cream are removed.
For Heavy, Burned-On Soil…
Allow the cooktop to cool.
Apply a few drops of cleaning
cream to the cool, soiled area.
Spread the cream across the entire
soiled area.
Hold scraper at a 45° angle against
the glass ceramic surface. This 45°
angle makes the scraping easier.
Scrape soil with the enclosed razor
scraper. Keep small amount of
cream on the soil as you scrape.
Heavily soiled areas may require
repeated applications of cream. It
will be necessary to press down on
the razor scraper while scraping the
soiled area with cooktop cream.
Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
If any soil remains, repeat the
steps listed above.

Special Care for Sugary Spills
Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge,
candy syrups) or melted plastics can
cause pitting of the surface of your
cooktop (not covered by the warranty)
unless the spill is removed while still
hot.
Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.
Turn off all surface units affected
by the spillover. Remove hot pans.
Wearing an oven mitt,
hold the
razor scraper at a 45° angle to the
cooktop. Scrape the hot spill to a
cool area outside the surface unit.
With the spill in a cool area, use a
dry paper towel to remove any
excess. Any spillover remaining
should be left until the surface of
the cooktop has cooled. Do not
continue to use the soiled surface
unit until all of the spillover has
been removed. Follow the steps
under
Heavy Burned-On Soil
to
continue the cleaning process.
NOTE: If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum,
copper or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the
overlay may bond with the glass cooktop and
leave a black discoloration. This should be
removed immediately before heating again
or the discoloration may be permanent.
Using a razor scraper will not
damage the surface if the 45° angle
is maintained.
