IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using your appliance.
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 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.
2
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided Installation
Instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Have the installer show you the location of the
ciruit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
WARNING—
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.
To check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, remove the storage
drawer and inspect the rear leveling
leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
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 guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.
• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the range.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains
or drapes a safe distance from your range.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, drawer or cooktop. They could
damage the range and even tip it over, causing
severe personal injury.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets 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.
Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit or
heating element.
• 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 away from
your range.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE.
• Keep hood and grease filters clean to maintain
good venting and to avoid grease fires.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• 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 and
areas facing the cooktop, the oven vent opening
and surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door, the edges of the door window and
metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
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 duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the 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 the
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 your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
• Do not use 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.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your range.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in this guide. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
Self-Cleaning Oven
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• 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, rack 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.
Cooktop and 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.
4
Important Safety Instructions
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• 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 the nearby
surface units.
• Always turn the surface unit control to off
before removing the cookware.
• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
• Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating of
foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures.
• 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.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• 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 guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the range.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop cooking; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
• 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. Do not
self-clean the surface units in the oven.
• Never clean the cooktop surface when it is
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and
wet cloths could cause steam burns if used on
a hot surface.

INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING AND LEVELING YOUR RANGE
Installing Leveling
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such
as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the
range on this type of flooring, it should be installed on
a 1/4 inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)
as follows: When the floor covering ends at the front
of the range, the area that the range will rest on should
be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than
the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved
for cleaning or servicing.
Leveling screws are located on each corner of the base of
the range. Remove the bottom drawer and you can level
the range on an uneven floor with the use of a nutdriver.
To remove the drawer, pull the drawer out all the
way, tilt up the front and take it out. To replace the
drawer, insert glides at back of the drawer beyond stop
on the range glides. Lift drawer if necessary to insert
easily. Let the front of drawer down, then push in
to close.
One of the rear leveling screws will engage the Anti-Tip
device. Allow for some side to side adjustment. Allow
a minimum clearance of 1/8 inch between the range
and the leveling screw that is to be installed into the
Anti-Tip device.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
WITH YOUR OLD ONE?
Type of Cooktop Description How It Works
Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For
tubing containing best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving
electric resistance of warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
wire suspended heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
over a drip pan. continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on
(Glass Ceramic) under a glass- the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
Cooktop ceramic cooktop. continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
under a glass and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
surface. off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
disk sealed to the cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
cooktop surface. disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
gas burners use pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
either LP gas heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
or natural gas.
Your new cooktop has electric coil surface units. If
you are used to cooking with gas burners or other
types of electric cooktops, you will notice some
differences when you use the electric coils.
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have.
The following chart will help you to understand the
differences between electric coil cooktops and any
other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
SURFACE CONTROLS
At both OFF and HI, the control “clicks” into position.
In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “clicking”
sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings
selected are being maintained.
Switching to higher heat settings always shows a
quicker heat change than switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
1. Grasp the control knob and push it in.
2. Turn the knob either clockwise
or counterclockwise to the desired
heat setting.
The control must be pushed in to set only from the
OFF position. When the control is in any position
other than OFF, it may be turned without pushing
it in.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you
finish cooking.
The left surface unit indicator light will glow when
either the left front or rear surface units are on.
The right surface indicator light will glow when
either the right front or rear surface units are on.

Cooktop Comparison Surface Controls Surface Cookware Tips
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to boil.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on
large amount of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on
large amounts of food.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in covered pan.
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature
of most foods. Slow cooking and simmering. At LO
settings, melt chocolate, butter on a small unit.
NOTE: At HI and Medium High never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.

Wok Cooking Deep Fat Frying
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 support ring in place, can
be dangerous. Placing the ring
over the surface unit will
cause a build-up 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 tipped over.
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over
when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously.
Watch food frying at high temperatures. Keep range
and hood clean from grease.
SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS
Cookware
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.
For best cooking results pans should be flat 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 more than 1 inch.
Right Wrong
Not over 1 inch Over 1 inch

10
HOME CANNING TIPS
Canning should be done on the cooktop only.
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit are
not recommended for most surface cooking. However,
when canning with water-bath or pressure canner,
larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because
boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are
not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the
surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER
THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—
and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could
eventually harm the cooktop surfaces.
Observe the Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the
surface unit. If your cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,
use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they don’t make
enough contact with the surface units and take
too long to boil water.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may
take longer than expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed. The process time will
be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating
of large quantities of water.

USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how
to set them properly.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing
them properly to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially
during the first weeks of using your new range.
NOTE: You may notice a “burning” or “oily”
smell the first few times you turn your oven on.
This is normal in a new oven and will disappear
in a short time. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning
Oven section.
Automatic Oven Shut Off Oven Light
As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut
itself off if it has been left on for more than 12 hours.
Use the switch on the control panel to turn the
light on or off.
Shelf Positions Hide-A-Way Oven Door Latch
The oven has four shelf
supports identified in
this illustration as A
(bottom), B, C and D
(top). Shelf positions
for cooking are
suggested in the
Baking, Roasting and
Broiling sections.
The Hide-A-Way door latch is for use with
self-cleaning only.
To use the Hide-A-Way door latch, lift the cooktop
and pull the door latch handle into the lock position.
Make sure you pull the handle out enough to fully
extend it or it will not slide into the lock position.
After a clean cycle, when the oven has cooled,
lift the cooktop and push the lock handle back into
the bracket.
When you lower the cooktop the Hide-A-Way door
latch will not show, and the oven is prevented from
being locked accidently.

Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with
stop-locks so when placed correctly
on the shelf supports, they will
stop before coming completely
out of the oven and will not tilt
when you are removing food from
them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the
shelf support. Place the cookware on
the shelf, then slide the shelf back
into the oven. This will eliminate
reaching into the hot oven.
To remove the shelves from the
oven, pull them toward you, tilt
front end upward and pull them out.
To replace, place the shelf on the
shelf support with the stop-locks
(curved extension of the shelf)
facing up and toward the rear of
the oven. Tilt up front and push
the shelf toward the back of the
oven until it goes past the bump
on the shelf support. Then lower
the front of the shelf and push it all
the way back.

Oven Control, Clock and Timer Using Your Oven
BAKING
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately
using an oven control system. We recommend that
you operate the range for a number of weeks using the
time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar
with your new oven’s performance.
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust
the Oven Thermostat section. It lists easy Do It
Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.
NOTE: When the oven is hot, the top and outside
surfaces of the range get hot too.
How to Set Your Range for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
1. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the
temperature you desire. The OVEN ON indicator
light will glow when the Oven Temperature knob is
turned on.
2. When the temperature inside the oven reaches the
set temperature, the PREHEATED indicator light
will glow and a tone will sound. Place the food in
the oven.
3. Check food for doneness at minimum time on
recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
4. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF and
then remove the foods.
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either
shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf
positions.

Preheating
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat
10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the
food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent
heat from escaping.
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means
bringing the oven up to the specified temperature
before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the
oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher
temperature does not shorten preheat time.
14
Baking Pans Pan Placement
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by 25°F.
• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find
that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.
to prevent overbrowning.
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of
the oven. Allow 1- to 1
1
⁄
2
-inch space between pans
as well as from the back of the oven, the door and
the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above the other.
Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions
for the best baking results.
Cookies Aluminum Foil
When baking cookies,
flat cookie sheets
(without sides)
produce better-looking
cookies. Cookies
baked in a jelly roll
pan (short sides all
around) may have
darker edges and
pale or light browning
may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover
a shelf with a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
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.
Cakes Pies
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and
drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as “bake 30-40 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Opening the oven door frequently during
cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times
longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—
DO IT YOURSELF!
1818
You may find that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If
you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make
it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
To Adjust the Thermostat:
1. Put the Oven Temperature knob in the
OFF position.
2. Press and hold the HOUR INCREASE and
the HOUR DECREASE pads at the same
time for 5 seconds until the display changes.
3. Immediately, before display changes
back, press the HOUR INCREASE or
DECREASE pads to increase or decrease
the temperature in 5 degree increments.
The oven temperature can be increased up to 35°F.

ROASTING
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed
Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound
indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook after being removed
from the oven. The internal temperature will rise 5 to
10 degrees F. during the recommended standing time
of 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and
makes them easier to carve. To compensate for this
rise in temperature, you may want to remove the roast
sooner (at 5° to 10°F. less than the temperature in the
Roasting Guide).
Remember that food will continue to cook in the
hot oven and therefore should be removed when
the desired internal temperature has been reached.
Adjust the Oven Thermostat Roasting
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily
cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press
the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.
(continued next page)
How to Set Your Range for Roasting
1. Place the shelf in A or B position.
No preheating is necessary.
2. Check the weight
of the meat. Place it
fat side up or for
poultry, breast-side-
up, on the roasting
grid in a shallow
pan. The melting fat
will baste the meat.
Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as
possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good
pan for this.)
3. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the
desired setting.
4. After roasting is complete, turn the Oven
Temperature knob to OFF and then remove
the food from the oven.

ROASTING
(continued)
Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a
meat thermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at
the completion of cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.
For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer
at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time
has passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to
carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to
20 minutes after removing them from the oven.
Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook
a roast or poultry?
A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips
that would help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,
or buy rolled roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when
roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it
unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown
the meat.

ROASTING GUIDE
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started
without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per
pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.
Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.
Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked
successfully without thawing. Follow the directions
given on the package label.
BROILING
Questions and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
grid in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the
meat with a fork allows juices to escape. Turn the
meat with tongs instead of a fork.
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range may
be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for
10 minutes before placing the broiler pan with food
in the oven. Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest
period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn
the food only once during broiling. You may need
to move the food to a higher shelf position.
(continued next page)
Roasting Broiling
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your 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 frying, not broiling.
21
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from
the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and
tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these
directions to keep spattering and smoking to a
minimum.
Turn the food using tongs only once during broiling.
Time the foods for the first side according to the
Broiling Guide. Turn the food, then use the times
given for the second side as a guide to the preferred
doneness.
How to Set Your Range for Broiling
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough
to catch on fire.
3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position as
suggested in the Broiling Guide. Most broiling is
done on C position, but if your range is connected
to 208 volts, you may wish to use a higher position.
4. Leave the door open to the broil stop position.
The door stays open by itself, yet the proper
temperature is maintained in the oven.
5. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to BROIL.
6. When broiling is finished, turn the Oven
Temperature knob to OFF. Serve the food
immediately, and leave the pan outside the
oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.
22
BROILING GUIDE
• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with
your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower
part of the pan.
• The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing juices.
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to
10 minutes only.
• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides because dripping fat
will soil the oven.
• The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat
if desired.
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven
shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing
cooking times given in this guide 1
1
⁄
2
times per side.
• If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare
steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler
and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Normal Cleaning Time is 4 hours and 20 minutes
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting with an open window or using
a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning
to make shelves slide more easily.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you
use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning
to prevent staining.
3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door
outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-
clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot
water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution. This will help
prevent a brown residue from forming when the
oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the gasket.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the
top, sides and outside front of the oven door with
soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the
fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely
low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-
fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-
efficient oven operation and good baking results. 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.
Do not let water run down through openings in
the top of the door. To help prevent water from
getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door
as far as it will go.
4. Lift the cooktop and pull the Hide-A-Way door
latch handle into the lock position. Make sure you
pull the handle out enough to fully extend it or it
will not slide into the lock position.
5. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light
is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life
of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out
immediately.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the high
clean-cycle temperature may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.
Important:
The oven door must be closed and all controls must

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
(continued)
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean cycle,
you will not be able to slide the latch.
Allow additional time for cooling before you try to set
the cycle.
1. Follow directions to prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Slide the latch handle to the
right as far as it will go.
Never force the latch
handle. Forcing the
handle will damage the
door lock mechanism.
3. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to AUTO
SELF CLEAN. The AUTO SELF CLEAN light
and the OVEN ON indicator light will glow.
NOTE: If you turn the Oven Temperature knob
before you slide the latch, the AUTO SELF
CLEAN light will flash. Slide the latch to the right.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours and 20
minutes. You can change the clean time to any
time between 3 hours and 5 hours and 59 minutes,
depending on how soiled your oven is.
You have 1 minute to change your clean time.
Use the HOUR and MIN. pads to change the total
clean time.
Both the OVEN ON light and the AUTO SELF
CLEAN light will flash when the Clean Time is
finished. Slide the latch handle to the left as far as it
will go, turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF and
open the door.
Never force the latch handle. Wait until the AUTO
SELF CLEAN light flashes and the latch slides easily.
Forcing the latch handle may damage the door lock.
Easy Steps:
1. Latch the door.
2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to
AUTO SELF CLEAN.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just
wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly
with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are
usually
a salt residue that cannot be removed by the
Clean Cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one Clean Cycle,
repeat the cycle.
When the oven has cooled below the locking
temperature, lift the cooktop and push the lock
handle back into the bracket.
NOTE:
• While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the
CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to
the clean count down, press the COOK TIME pad.
• If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe the shelf
supports with cooking oil.
To Stop A Clean Cycle
1. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF.
2. Wait until the oven has cooled (approximately
1 hour) below the locking temperature to unlatch
the door. You will not be able to open the door
right away unless the oven has cooled below the
locking temperature.
25
Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven
How to Set Delay Start of Cleaning
Delay Start is setting the Oven Control to start the
clean cycle automatically at a later time than the
present time of day.
For example: Let’s say it is 7:00 and you want the
oven to begin self-cleaning at 9:00 after you’re
finished in the kitchen. The oven is just soiled a
normal amount so the normal Clean Time of 4 hours
and 20 minutes is preferred.
1. Follow steps to prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Slide the latch handle to the
right as far as it will go. If
the latch does not slide it
may not be fully extended
from the Hide-A-Way
position. Lift the cooktop
and make sure the handle is to the left as far as it
will go. Pull the handle out. Lower the cooktop and
slide the handle to the right in the lock position.
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the
handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
3. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the AUTO
SELF CLEAN position.
4. Press the START TIME pad.
5. Press the HOUR pad until 9:00 appears in
the display. The timer is now set to start
cleaning in 2 hours, at 9:00.
The Self-Clean Cycle will be set to
automatically begin at 9:00 and finish
at 1:20.
Both the OVEN ON light and the AUTO
SELF CLEAN light will flash when the
Clean Time is finished.
6. When both the OVEN ON and the AUTO SELF
CLEAN lights flash, slide the latch handle to the
left as far as it will go, turn the Oven Temperature
knob to OFF and open the door.
Never force the latch handle. Wait until the AUTO
SELF CLEAN light flashes and the latch slides easily.
Forcing the latch handle may damage the door lock.

Questions and Answers
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part
of my self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any
part of this oven. If you do use them and do not
thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it
absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically cleaned.
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs
during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the Oven
Temperature knob to OFF. Open windows to rid
room of smoke. Wait until the AUTO SELF
CLEAN light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and
reset the clean cycle.
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear
during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and
cooling during both the cooking and cleaning
functions.
Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few
cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might
also cause a strong odor when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled
surface of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating
and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which
is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge
or cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.
What is the matter?
A. After many cleanings, oven shelves will lose their
luster and become hard to slide. To make shelves
slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports with
cooking oil.
Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the
self-clean cycle. Is this normal?
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will
lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.
Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven
is self-cleaning?
A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use
the cooktop just as you normally do.
Q. The AUTO SELF CLEAN light flashes when
I set the clean cycle. What’s wrong?
A. The AUTO SELF CLEAN light will flash until
the latch is moved to the right.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the
oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate
around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.

CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range
will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow
these directions carefully in caring for your cooktop
to assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF AND
ALL SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.
Control Panel and Knobs
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 solution
works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note
that the knobs are in the proper OFF position. When
replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure
proper placement.
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.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and
hot water solution but do not soak.
Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside the
knob into the clear groove on the stem.
Spring Clip
Molded Rib
Clear Groove in Stem
Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser or
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to
slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after
self-cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily.
Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven Care and Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out
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
the dishwasher.
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the self-
cleaning oven.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere
in the oven.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable,
but it is heavy. You may need
help removing and replacing
the door. Do not lift the door by
the handle. This can cause the
glass to break or can cause
damage to the door.
To remove the door, open it a
few inches to the special stop
position that will hold the door
open. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and
off the hinges.
NOTE:
• Be careful not to place hands between the hinge
and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap
back and pinch fingers.
• While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel
on the frame.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
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. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
soap-filled scouring pad.
• Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. 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.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
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.
• 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, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Outside Gasket
Care and Cleaning
NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when
cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.
The light bulb is located on the back wall of the oven.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power
to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel
or unplug the range from the electrical outlet. 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: Unscrew the cover and remove the bulb.
To replace: Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb.
NOTE:
• A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard
40-watt household bulb. We recommend you use an
appliance bulb that is no longer than 3
1
⁄
2
inches.
• Install and tighten the cover.
• Reconnect electrical power to the range.
DO NOT REMOVE SCREWS.
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.
The storage drawer may be removed
for cleaning under
the range.
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 the inside and outside:
• Wash with soap and water. Rinse well. Do not use
cleansing powders or harsh abrasives which may
scratch the surface.
Oven Light Bulb
Socket
Glass Cover
Bulb
Oven Vent Duct Glass Window
The oven is vented through an
opening under the right rear
surface unit. Never cover the
opening with aluminum foil or
any other material. This would
prevent the oven vent from
working properly.
To clean the outside of the oven
window, use a glass cleaner.
Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not allow the water or
cleaner to run down inside the
openings in the glass or the
openings in the top of the oven
door while cleaning.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range, the
control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with
soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the
highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn
off any soil.
CAUTION
• Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and
the surface units are cool before attempting to
remove them.
• Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of
any kind.
• Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.
• Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.
• Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair
the plug-in receptacle.
To remove a surface unit:
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units
must be removed first.
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan
and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch.
If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when
you plug it back in.
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more
than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently
damage the receptacle.
To replace a surface unit:
• Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop.
Make sure opening in the pan lines up with the
receptacle.
• Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the
opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.
• Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.
Drip Pans
Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.
For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place
them in a covered container (or a plastic bag) with
1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with
a soap filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse with
clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Black drip pans (on some models) may be cleaned in
a self-cleaning oven after they have been thoroughly
rinsed. However, self-cleaning them may cause them
to lose their original luster and shine.
Clean the area under the drip pans often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so
close to the receptacle could cause possible shock,
fire or damage to the range.
CARE AND CLEANING

Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop
often. Built-up soil, especially
grease, may catch on fire. To make
cleaning up easier, the entire
cooktop may be lifted up and
supported in the up position.
Be sure all the surface units
are turned off before raising
the cooktop.
Grasp the front sides of the cooktop
and lift. The surface units and drip
pans do not need to be removed
before raising the cooktop,
however, you may remove one to
make raising the cooktop easier.
After cleaning under the cooktop
with hot, mild soapy water and a
clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be
careful not to pinch your fingers.
Support Rods
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
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
or cleansing powders. 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.

The bracket attaches to floor or wall to hold either the
right or left rear leg leveler. If fastening to the floor,
be sure that the screws do not penetrate electrical
wiring or plumbing. If this cannot be determined, use
shorter screws that will not penetrate through
flooring.
The bracket is packed inside the oven. Remove and
follow the instructions below.
1. Decide whether the bracket will be installed on the
right or left side of the range location.
2. If the bracket side of the range is adjacent to a
cabinet, place the bracket against back wall and
cabinet as shown in Figure 1.
If there is no adjacent cabinet, determine where
the location of the range side (painted outside
panel) will be. Place the bracket with its outside
edge at this location and against the back wall.
See Figure 1.
3. Determine whether you will anchor the bracket to
the floor or wall. Fasten the bracket securely with
the screws provided. The screws are self-drilling in
wood, plywood, particle and chip board, and most
metal framing. If attaching to masonry you can buy
suitable screws and anchors at hardware stores. Use
a masonry drill to drill the required holes.
4. Using the wrench, back out the four leg levelers at
least two turns. See the Installation Instructions for
more leveling information before positioning range.
5. Slide the range into place. Be sure the rear leg
leveler fully engages the slot in the bracket. If
the range cannot be moved back far enough for
the rear leg leveler to enter the bracket, move the
bracket forward as required and attach to the floor
in the new location.
