Operating Instructions

Using the radiant surface units. (on some models)

NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

About the Radiant Surface Units

WARNING:

The surface units are automatically disabled during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle. Any surface unit that is set to an on position, while the self-clean cycle is operating, will automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in an on, unattended surface unit.Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface. Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.

An indicator light will come on when the surface unit is turned on.

The appropriate HOT surface indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 65.5°C (150°F).

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

Do not slide cookware across the control or cooktop surface because it can scratch the glass. The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

• Come on when the surface unit is hot to the touch.
• Stay on even after the unit is turned off.
• Glow brightly until the unit has cooled below 65.5°C (150°F).

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.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

• 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.

Temperature Limiter

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limitermay cycle the units fora time if:

• The pan boils dry.
• The pan bottom is not flat.
• The pan is off center.
• There is no pan on the unit.

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 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.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.

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.

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 2.5 cm 1 inch.

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.

Using the surface units.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Set

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.

At both OFF and Max the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the power level you set.

Indicator Lights (on radiant glass models only)

A Hot indicator light will glow when any radiant element is turned on, and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch.

A Burner On indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.

NOTE: The Hot indicator light may glow between the surface control settings of Min and OFF, but there is no power to the surface units.

Using the oven controls.

Using the oven.

Before you begin…

The racks have stops, 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 rack out until it stops.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

CAUTION: When you are using a rack in the lowest position (R), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (R).

How to Set the oven for Baking or Roasting (on models without an oven temperature knob)

1. Touch the BAKE pad.

2. Touch the + or – pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

3. Touch the START/ON pad.

The oven will start automatically. The display will show PRE while preheating.When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep and the display will show the oven temperature.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, touch the BAKE pad and then the + or pads to get the new temperature.

4. Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

5. Touch the OFF pad when baking is finished and then remove the food fromthe oven.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 15–20 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 1" to 1 1 ⁄2 " of air space around it.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminun foil on the bottom of the oven.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

NOTE: Close the door before start any broiling function.

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without overbrowning them.

1. Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling.

2. Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.

3. Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil.

To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.

4. Touch the START pad.

5. When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

† The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 60 °C (140 °F). means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source. Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)

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. (on some models)

Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism. The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly

Before a Clean Cycle

For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

Remove the racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven racks 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.

CAUTION:

The grates and drip pans (on some models) should never be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

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 temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

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.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Follow the directions in the Before a Clean Cycle section.

1. Latch the door.

NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is too hot, you will not be able to slide the latch. Allow the oven to cool.

2. Touch the CLEAN pad.

3. Touch the + or – pads until the desired Clean Time is displayed.

The Clean Time is normally 4 hours and 20 minutes. You can change the Clean Time to any time between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the amount of soil in your oven.

4. Touch the START/ON pad.

The self-clean cycle will automatically begin after CLEAN is displayed and the time countdown appears in the display.

While the oven is self-cleaning, you can touch the CLOCKpad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, touch the CLEAN pad.

The oven shuts off automatically when the clean cycle is complete, and 0:00 will flash in the display.

5. Slide the latch handle to the left as far as it will go and open the door.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning

You can set the oven control to delay-start the oven, clean for a specific length of time and then turn off automatically.

Make sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

Follow the directions in the Before a Clean Cycle section.

1. Latch the door.

NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is too hot, you will not be able to slide the latch. Allow the oven to cool.

2. Touch the CLEAN pad.

3. Touch the + or – pads to set the Clean Time.

The Clean Time is preset for 4 hours and 20 minutes. You can change the Clean Time to any time between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the amount of soil in your oven. If a different Clean Time is desired, touch the + or pads until the desired Clean Time is displayed.

4. Touch the START TIME pad.

Change the Start Time by touching the + or pads. The start time will appear in the display.

5. Touch the START/ON pad.

The self-clean cycle will automatically begin at the time set.

6. Slide the latch handle to the left as far as it will go and open the door.

To Stop a Clean Cycle

Touch the OFF pad.

Wait until the oven has cooled 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.

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 the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean 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 touch the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, touch the COOK TIME pad.

■ If the racks become hard to slide, apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel.

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.

Oven Interior (non-self-clean models)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven―top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door―will stay newlooking 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.

Cleaning the Oven Door

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.

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 door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring 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.
• If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
• 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-Off Oven Door (Faringosi hinges)

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift door by the handle.

To remove the door:

1. Fully open the oven door.

2. With thumb and forefinger, pull the hinge lock on each hinge up to the unlocked position.

3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at near the top.

4. Close door until the top of the door is approximately 3” from the range frame.

5. Lift door up and away from the range untilboth hinge arms are clear of the slots in the range frame.

To replace the door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.

2. With the door at the same angle as the removal position, rest the notch in the bottom of the left hinge arm on the bottom edge of the left hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated onto the bottom of the slot. Repeat for the right side.

3. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the notches in the bottoms of the hinge arms are not seated correctly onto the bottom edge of the slot. Lift the door off the range and repeat Step 2.

4. Push the hinge locks down to the locked position.

5. Close the oven door.

Lift-Off Oven Door

(on some models)

The oven door is removable for cleaning.

Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure the oven is completely cool.

To remove the door, open it to the special 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 special 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:

• Do not allow excess water to run into

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

On some models, the bake element is not exposed and is under the oven floor. If spillover residue or ash accumulate on the oven floor, wipe up before self-cleaning.

Oven Racks

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool After cleaning, rinse the racks with lean water and drywith a clean cloth Gray porcelain-coated oven racks may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle without being damaged The shiny, silver colored oven racks may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle, but they will lose their luster and become hard to slide.

It will be necessary to grease all oven rack side edges with a light coating of sliding the racks in and out of the oven.

Oven Light Replacement (on some models)

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, turn the oven light off and disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

To remove the cover:

1. Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover. Do not remove any screws to remove the cover.

2. Replace bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.

To replace the cover:

1. Place it into groove of the lig ht receptacle. Pull wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on radiant models)

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.

Lift-Up Cooktop (on coil models)

Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position.

The surface units do not need to be removed; however, you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier. There are two side supports that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently lower the cooktop until it rests in place.

NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on radiant top models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

Surface Units (on coil models)

Be sure all the controls are turned to OFFand the surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

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". 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 the 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.

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.

Drip Pans (on coil models)

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.

Place them in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.

Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the range.

NOTE: Do not clean the drip pans in a self-cleaning oven.

Oven Vent (on coil models)

On glass cooktop models, the oven is vented through an opening at the rear of the cooktop.

On coil cooktop models, the oven is vented through an opening under the right rear surface unit.

Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)

Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material.

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the sides of the door trim.

To clean the painted surfaces, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for these surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

Do not use steel-wood pads, commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners. They will damage the surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Glass Window (on some models)

To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

BOWL AND COIL ASSEMBLY (on coil models)

In order to do a right assembly of the bowl and the coil into the cook top you need to insert both components together as shown in the picture.

Avoid inserting components sparely, this will cause wrong assemble issues.

Attention (on coil models)

When using the oven is normal to have an increase of temperature on the cooktop surface, based on the fact that the release of heat from the oven is placed on the back right burner/coil of the range.
