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 by installing the Anti-tip device
supplied.
If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does
not t this application, use the universal Anti-Tip
device WB2X7909
To check if the device is installed and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The
Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the
range from tipping over.
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 qualied technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualied
technician.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE, DISCONNECT
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD
DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING THE FUSE
OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
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

WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
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.
Never wear loose-tting 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.
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.
For your safety never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
Do not let cooking grease or other ammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Do not use water on grease res. Never pick up
a aming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a aming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well-
tting lid, cookie sheet or at tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type re
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 re extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type re 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
ammable materials contact, the surface units,
areas nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufcient time for
cooling rst.
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.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other ammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Keep the hood and grease lters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease res.
Never Block the vents (air openings) of
the range. They provide the air inlet and
outlet that are necessary for the range to
operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven
door, and at the bottom of the range under
the storage drawer.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN
(on some models)
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 on self-clean
models. 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 qualied
technician.
Take the shelves out of the oven before
you begin the self-clean cycle or they may
discolor.
OVEN
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 re.
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.

SURFACE UNITS-ALL MODELS
Use proper pan size-select cookware having at 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 ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efciency.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high beat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on re.
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 ammable 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.
Do not ame foods on the cooktop. If you
do ame 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 side 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
WARNING!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
(on some models)
COIL SURFACE UNITS
(on some models)
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY
Avoid scratching the glass cooktpo. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such as
sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and
rivets on clothing.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
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 qualied
technician immediately should your glass
cooktop become broken.
Never use glass cooktop surface as a cutting
board.
Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch re on the glass cooktop, even when it is
not being used.
Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for
all surface units are at the OFF position and
all coils are cool before attempting to lift or
remove a unit.
Do not immerse or soak the removable
surface units. Do not put them in a
dishwasher.
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
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.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.
Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct
are not covered and are in place. Their
absence during cooking could damage
range parts and wiring.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip
pans or anywhere in the oven except as
described in this manual. Misuse could
result in a shock, re hazard or damage to
the range.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls
have been turned off.

Using the surface units.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Surface Cooking Controls
Your surface units and controls are
designed to give you a variety of heat
settings for surface unit cooking.
At both
LO and HI positions, there is a
slight niche so control
clicks at those
positions;
HI marks the highest setting; LO,
the lowest setting.
How to Set the Controls
Push the control knob in.
Turn either clockwise or
counterclockwise to desired heat
setting.
Control must be pushed in to set only
from the
OFF
position.
Heat Setting Guide
MAX
---Quick start for cooking; bring
water to boil.
MEDIUM HIGH
--- Fast fry, pan broil;
maintain fast boil on large amount of
food.
MED
--- Sauce and brown; maintain slow
boil on large amount of food.
MEDIUM LOW
– Cereal; maintain serving
temperature of most foods.
Cooking Tips
Use medium- or heavyweight
cookware. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat faster than other
metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-
iron cookware is slow to absorb heat,
but generally cooks evenly at low or
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with
other metals.
Do not overll cookware with fat
that may spill over when adding
food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously.
Watch foods frying at high
temperatures. Keep range and hood
clean from accumulated grease.
In a quiet kitchen, you may hear
slight
clicking sounds during cooking,
indicating heat settings selected are
being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings
always shows a quicker change in
temperature than switching to lower
settings.
When control is in any position other
than
OFF
, you can turn it without
pushing in.
Be sure you turn control to
OFF
when you
nish cooking. An indicator light will
glow when
ANY
surfaces unit is on.
A Burner On indicator light will glow
when
ANY
surface unit is on.
MIN
--- Cook after starting at HI; cook
with little water in covered pan. Use to
steam rice.
NOTE:
At
MAX
or
MEDIUM HIGH,
never
leave food unattended. Boilovers
cause smoking; greasy spillovers
may catch re.
At
MIN
, melt chocolate, butter on
small unit.
To conserve the most cooking energy,
pans should be at on the bottom,
have straight side and tight-tting lids.
Match the size of the saucepan to the
size of the surface unit. A pan that
extends more than an inch beyond
the edge of the drip pan traps heat,
which causes “crazing” (ne hairline
cracks) on porcelain, and discoloration
ranging from blue to dark gray on
chrome drip pans.

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 rst 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 from the oven
or surface on the glass surface when the surface
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.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass --- the glass
is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are
removable using the cleaning cream or
full-strength white vinegar.
Use of window cleaner may leave
an iridescent lm 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 surface as a cutting
board.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
The pan boils dry.
The pan bottom is not at.
The pan is off center.
There is no pan on the unit.

Selecting types of cookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware will give good performance on glass cooktops.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give food performance on coil 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.
Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat,
but generally cook evenly at low to medium
heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a at-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings. Use
of these types of woks, with or without the
ring in place, can be dangerous.
Not over 1 inch
Use Only at-bottomed woks.
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 at 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 for at bottoms by using a
straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
For best cooking results, pans should be
at on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit than 1 inch.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could be
seriously burned if the wok tips over.

slightly, from the locked position. Make sure the latch is
moved to the right as far as it will go. Press the
OFF
pad.
Allow the oven to cool for one hour. Put the oven back
