SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
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.
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 flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
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 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.
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.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the

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.
■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you
do flame 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.

■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. 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 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 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 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.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls
have been turned off.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Using the surface units.
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.
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 Hl positions, there is
a slight niche so control clicks at those
positions; Hl 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 0FF position.
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 finish cooking. An indicator light
will glow wen ANY surface unit is on.
A Burner On indicator light will glow
when any surface unit is on.
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 — Saute and brown; maintain slow
boil on large amount of food.
MEDIUM LOW-Cereal; maintain serving
temperature of most foods.
NOTE:
MIN — Cook after starting at HI; cook
with little water in covered pan. Use to
steam rice.
At MAX or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave
food unattended. Boilovers cause
smoking; greasy spillovers may
catch fire.
At MIN, melt chocolate, butter on
small unit.
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 overfill 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.
To conserve the most cooking energy,
pans should be flat on the bottom,
have straight sides and tight-fitting
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”
(fine 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 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 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.
■ 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 surface as a cutting board.

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.
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.
Use of these types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be dangerous.
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.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.

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°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment

Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do yourself!
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.
Pull the Oven Temp knob off the
shaft, look at the back of the knob and
note the current setting before making

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
The oven must be cool in order to set the
self-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 broiler pan, broiler grid,
all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
The shiny, silver-colored oven shelves
(on some models) can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean the top, sides and outside of the
oven door with soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover
(on some models) 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
oven. Move birds to another well
ventilated room.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven---top,
bottom, sides, back and inside of the door---
will stay new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.
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. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a
shallow glass or pottery container in a cold
oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will
help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls
and switches because it could cause a short circuit
and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on
the temperature sensor–it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of
the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor
as a change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,
handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy
but breakable if misused. This finish is
acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to remain
on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot,
use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up
right away. When the surface has cooled,
wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash
with soap and water or cleansing powders
after the surface has cooled. Rinse well.
Polish with a dry cloth.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)
The gasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper
air circulation.
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 pad, hot water
and detergent. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution.
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.
To clean the inside of the door:
Do not allow excess water to run into any
holes or slots in the door.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soap-filled, steel-wool pads may also
be used.
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. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
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.
To clean outside of the gasket:
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop
may be lifted up and propped open.
Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
Be sure all surface units are turned off
before raising the cooktop.
Remove the front surface and drip pans.
See the Surface Units and Drip Pans
section. Grasp the two front surface unit
wells and lift the cooktop up and prop it
open with the prop rod provided.
After cleaning underneath the cooktop
with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth,
