IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Save these instructions for future reference.

This guide contains important safety symbols and instructions. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow all

instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of these symbols.

This symbol will help you to situations that may cause serious bodily harm, death or property damage.

This symbol will help you to situations that may cause bodily injury or property damage.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold

temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time,

or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure

that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for

at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating

unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not

Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units—To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil

should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not

extend over adjacent surface unit.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has

boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners— Do not use aluminum foil to line oven

bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum

foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the

food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may

result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the

sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's rec-

ommendations for rangetop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an ele-

ment is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become

hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are

touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

FOR COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating ele-

ments— Surface heating elements should never be immersed in

water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal opera-

tion.

• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place—Absence of

these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or

components underneath to damage.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop —If cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate

the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a

qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cooktop Glass with Caution—If a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a

steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if ap-

plied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Warmer Drawer (if

equipped)—Stand to the side of the appliance when opening

the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you

remove or replace food in the oven/warmer drawer.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at

the front above the oven door. Touching the surfaces in this area

when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not

place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.

These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven/Warmer Drawer (if equipped) Racks.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/drawer (if

equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before

removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use

extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both

hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot oven

element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan

and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the

high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped)

grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so

could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn

off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing

light bulb.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease

that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease

filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's recom-

mended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from

cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS:

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven

listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the 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 oven cleaner or oven liner

protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any

part of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the

oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive

to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range.

Move birds to another well ventilated room.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances

known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of

potential exposure to such substances.

Specialty Pans & Trivets

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with

a metal ring that extends beyond the

surface element. Because this ring traps

heat, the surface element and cooktop

surface could be damaged.

For glass smoothtop models, only flat

bottomed woks (without support rings)

may be used.

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for

use on your cooktop are available in

most cookshop or hardware stores.

Round-bottomed woks (with a

support ring that does not extend

beyond the heating element) may

also be used. The metal ring was

designed to support the wok safely

when it is filled with large amounts of

liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

DO NOT use two

elements (if the cooktop is not

equipped with bridge element) to

heat one large pan such as a roaster

or griddle, or allow cooking utensils

to boil dry. The bottom surface of the

pan in either of these situations could

cause discoloring or crazing of the

porcelain enamel range surface, and

damage to the surface elements

and/or damage to the drip pans (if

equipped).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire

trivets. Cookware bottoms must be

in direct contact with the surface

elements.

*GOOD

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.

Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of food

to be prepared and the size of the sur-

face element.

• Made of material that conducts heat

well.

• Easy to clean.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than 2.5

cm (1”).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is smaller than element.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots,

griddles and pressure cookers may be used

but must conform to the above recom-

mended cookware requirements.

Pans should have flat bottoms that make

good contact with the entire surface ele-

ment. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler

across the bottom. There should be no

gaps between the pan and ruler.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended

purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instruc-

tions. Some utensils were not made to be

used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils

For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these caracteristics:

Setting Surface Controls

1. Place the pan on the surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.

3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn

the element off before removing the pan.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being

cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Setting Type of Cooking

HI (MAX) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling.

5 (MED) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam

vegetables.

2-4 (MED-LOW) Keep food cooking, poach, stew.

LO (MIN) Keep warm, melt, simmer.

*The suggested settings found in the chart above are based on cooking in medium thickness

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Do not place items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or

plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or

ignite. Potholders, towels or wood could catch fire if placed too close to the element.

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local

Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for

the latest canning information.

2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom

surface is flat.

3. Center canner on the surface element.

4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to

bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to

maintain a constant boil.

5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop:

1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than

one inch

beyond the edge of the surface element.

2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended

amount of time.

3. Alternate surface elements between each batch to allow the units and

surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same element

all day.

Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed

and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle

but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

Canning Tips &

Information

Canning can gener-

ate large amounts of steam. Use

extreme caution to prevent burns.

Always raise the lid to vent steam

away from you.

Figure 2

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located

below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic

cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath.

Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the

element outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the

cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type

and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use

and their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of

heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The

areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to

cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the

temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the

selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating

element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent

heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the

element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will

allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and

Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with

different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and

in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as

follows:

Model A (See Figures 1 and 2):

-A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;

-A dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

-A Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position

(See page 12);

-Two 8 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and

rear positions.

- Between left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant

element. The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using the

same knob that controls the left front radiant element position.

(See pages 10 and 11 for more information about using

BRIDGE radiant element)

Model B (see Figure 1):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements at the right and left rear position;

-A dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

-A Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position

(See page 12);

-A 8 inch radiant element located at the left front position.

Model C (see Figure 1):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements one at the right rear position and

the other at the left front position;

-A dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

-A 8 inch radiant element located at the left rear position.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section

and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care

Guide.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the

element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps

to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the

HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small

for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat

(Refer to page 6 under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).

NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the

surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when

the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal

and the glass will come back to its original white color after

it has completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).

Cooktop radiant areas that heat

Your appliance may have one of these configurations

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure

2). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most cooking operations on a higher

setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides

a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending

beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the

surface heating area.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the

cookware. Note: The Surface Indicator light will come on when the control knob will be

turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate

level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.

Note: See above, Figure 1 for recommended control settings.

Setting Surface Controls (Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop)

Use the chart (Figure 1) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.

The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews

and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or

butter.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking

results.

Radiant surface

elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been

turned off. A hot surface

indicator light will come on

and will continue to glow until

the glass cooktop has cooled

down to a moderate level. The

glass surface may still be

hot and burns may occur if the

glass surface is touched before

the indicator light has turned

off.

Do not place

plastic items such as salt

and pepper shakers, spoon

holders or plastic wrappings

on top of the range when it

is in use. These items could

melt or ignite. Potholders,

towels or wooden spoons could

catch fire if placed too close to

the surface elements.

Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements (Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop Only)

The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at location as shown on figures 3 to 6 ; Model A, the BRIDGE element position

can also be used as a single element (See figure 4; See Bridge Element Operating Instructions on pages 10-11).

Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element

(Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop Only)

Models A & B (See Page 8) are equipped with a dual radiant

surface element located at the right front (See Figures 7 & 8)

position. Symbols on the control panel are used to indicate which

coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol

indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Figures 1, 3 and 4).

The symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat

(Figures 5, 7 and 8). You may switch from either coil setting at

any time during cooking.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See

Figure 2) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figure 6)

for larger cookware.

3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most

cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a

lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element

provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A

glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the

bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too

small for the surface heating area.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob

to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Surface

Indicator light will come on when the control knob will be

turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has

cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on

even though the controls are turned OFF.

Note: See page 9, Figure 1 for recommended control settings.

Operating the Bridge Surface Radiant Element

(Model A Only)

Model A (See Page 8) is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface

element located at the left front and middle (See Figure 12)

positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular

(like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware. The element will

maintain an even temperature setting across both portions of the

Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can

work like a single element without the Bridge (See Figure 10).

Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control

panel on each side of the Bridge element control knob. These

symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when

operating the Bridge element. The symbol in Figure 9 indicates

that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat

(Figure 10). The symbol in Figure 11 indicates that both the single

and Bridge portions of the element will heat together (Figure 12).

You may switch from either of these settings at any time during

cooking with the Bridge element.

To Operate the Bridge Surface Element

(Model A Only):

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See

Figures 1 and 2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element

for normal shaped cookware or clockwise (See Figures 3

and 4) for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.

3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most

cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a

lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element

provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A

glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the

bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too

small. Please note that not all cookware will fit the Bridge

element correctly.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob

to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Surface

Indicator light will come on when the control knob will be

turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has

cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on

even though the controls are turned OFF.

The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the

left rear single element. Because these elements have 2

different controls, one element can be used to cook while the

other element may be used to keep food warm (See Figure 5).

Note: See page 9, Figure 1 for recommended control settings.

Zone has 5 power levels from HI (see Figure 2) through MED (see Figure 4) to LO

(see Figure 5). The power level may be adjusted at any time while the Warmer

Zone is ON.

4. When the food is ready to serve, touch the pad once to turn the Warmer

Zone OFF. The Warmer Zone indicator light will turn OFF.

Note: The Hot Surface indicator light located on the cooktop will remain ON if

the cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled

sufficiently.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may

still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could

catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements or burners.

The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands

on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot Surface indicator light is OFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when

removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (continued)

Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Zone

(Models A & B):

The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as:

vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe

dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold

food on the Warmer Zone.

All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain

quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should

have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap or

aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum may melt onto the

surface.

Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop

use on the Warmer Zone.

Warmer Zone Temperature Selection

Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels (Figure 1).

If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as

needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium

level.

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when

the oven is hot.

Removing and Replacing

Oven Racks

To remove, pull the rack forward until it

stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.

To replace, fit the rack onto the guides

on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the

rack upward and slide the rack back into

place.

Arranging Oven Racks

To bake on a single rack, place the rack

in position 2 or 3. To bake on 2 racks, place

the racks in positions 2 and 3.

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located at right side of

the front panel and visible when the

oven door is open. When the oven is on,

hot air is released through the vents. This

venting is necessary for proper air circulation

in the oven and good baking results.

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown.

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for

proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven

door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and

cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a

casserole dish underneath).

• In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and

empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Set the Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown below (Figure 1).

Operating the Warmer Drawer

The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in

the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered with

a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.

Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only

utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the

Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

Warmer Drawer Temperature Selection

Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 2. If a particular food

is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid

or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on

the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance,

meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open

the Warmer Drawer while in use.

To Set the Warmer Drawer Controls:

Baking Problems and Solutions Chart

Broiling

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating.

Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROIL as instructed

in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2

minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.

To Broil

Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.

Always pull rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the

element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first

side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require

additional time.

Broiling Tips

The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the

high heat of the broiler.

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The

exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If

the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put

water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips:

• To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.

• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads

because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.

• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may

scratch the grid.

How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease,

apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp

cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove,

pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a

clean water using a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the

panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause

damage to the appliance. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and

cannot be removed. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To

replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the

knob into place.

Clean Stainless Steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do

not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing

cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that especially made for cleaning Stainless Steel as Stainless Steel

Magic, or other similar cleaners are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot

be removed.

Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier. The

surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn

off. Food spilled on a cold element can be cleaned with a damp cloth any remaining soil will burn off

the next time element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A SURFACE ELEMENT IN WATER. To remove

surface element and drip bowls, follow the instructions under General Cleaning.

To clean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm.

Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minute in

a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or solution made of equal parts ammonia and water. A nylon

scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleanser or steel wool, as they will scratch

the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish, and dry with a soft cloth. To replace drip bowls

and surface elements, follow the instructions under General Cleaning.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear

water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30

to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring

pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become

damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Oven racks should be removed from the oven during self-clean cycle for cleaning. When removed,

clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water

and dry.

If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be

dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with

wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide

easier into the rack positions).

To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in

water.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on self

cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or

remove the gasket.

Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions (some models)

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically

damage the cooking surface.

Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.

DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are

not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

Daily Cleaning

For normal soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.

3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.

4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

For heavy, burned-on soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia.

Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean

damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop

cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.

For sugary spillovers:

Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still

hot. Use caution when following the steps below.

1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.

3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.

COOKTOP CLEANING / POLISHING CREAM can be purchased through authorized service centers or major department stores.

To Raise the Top for Cleaning (some models)

1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. A lift-up rod will support the top in its raised position.

Only lift the top high enough to allow the support rod to rest in place under the front of the

cooktop.

2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.

3. To lower the top, lift the top slightly and lower the rod. Lower the range top down into the

range frame.

When lowering the lift-up range top, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to

pinch fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the range top when raising or lowering. This could

damage the surface.

Cooktop Cleaning - Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

1) Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.

2) Aluminum utensils

The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans

are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing

or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.

Things to Remember

1. AVOID using bleach and don’t use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface.

2. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

3. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or

metalmark the cooktop.

4. If cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to clean it. Call

your authorized service technician immediately.

5. Never use a trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic

cooktop. The ceramic surface may be scratched, metal marked or etched by

such items.

6. Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must

begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when

following the steps below.

a) Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

b) Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out

of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop.

c) Allow the cooktop to cool.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal

markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately

after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can

become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or

scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the

cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the

kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.

Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to

crack.

CERAMA BRYTE®

General Cleaning (continued)

Cooktop Cleaning - Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models (Continued)

Cleaning Materials for Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Some cleaning materials may contain an ingredient which can damage the cooktop. Use

recommended materials only (see below). Cleaner cream should be used regularly. Prior to using your

cooktop for the first time, apply a cleaner cream to the ceramic surface. A sample of CERAMA

BRYTE® cleaner cream is supplied with your range. More are available in stores if needed.

Use only recommended cleaning products and follow these basic cleaning suggestions.

1. BEFORE THE COOKTOP IS USED. Thoroughly clean and saturate the cooktop with cleaner cream.

a) Dampen clean paper towel and clean unit.

b) Wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel; then wipe dry.

2. For normal daily cleaning, apply a dab of cleaner cream in the center of each unit-area to be

cleaned. Start with approximately 1/8 teaspoon. (Apply more if needed). Then, proceed as stated

above in (a and b).

3. Make sure bottom of cookware and cooking area are clean and dry.

4. Select heat settings and cookware large enough for food and liquid. This stops boilovers and

spatterings.

5. Wipe up food spills and spatters before they burn into surface.

IMPORTANT Regularly use cleaner cream. If you run out of cleaner cream, use one of the cleansers

listed. Be sure to get a new supply of cleaner cream.

Never mix cleaning products! Mixtures may interact, with damaging or hazardous

results.

General Cleaning (continued)

Cooktop Cleaning- Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models (Continued)

Use and Care of Glass Surface (continued)

Do Use on Ceramic Glass Cooktop

1. Baking soda.

2. Non-impregnated plastic and nylon pads.

3. For burned on material, scrape with single-edged razor blade, held at a 30° angle.

4. Ceramic glass cleaning cream.

5. CERAMA BRYTE

® cleaner cream.

Do not Use on Ceramic Glass Cooktop

1. Avoid pads, that can leave marks and scratches.

2. Avoid heavy-duty cleansing powders, these can scratch, depending on their abrasiveness and cleaning pressure applied.

3. Avoid chemical oven cleaners. These can etch the cooktop surface and are caustic.

4. Avoid rust stain removers containing hydrofluoric acid.

5. Avoid using bleach and don’t use ammonia.

Special Cleaning Instructions for Mineral Deposits and Discolorations

Problem: A gray brown stain that is not removed when using cleaner cream.

Cause: Condensation, when cooking, often collects and drips from cookware. The minerals found in water supply and foods

may cause a gray or brown film to develop on cooktop. This film is so thin it cannot be felt and appears to be under

cooktop.

To Prevent: Daily and proper use of cleaner cream.

To Remove:

– Wet surface with water and sprinkle on cleaner cream.

– Scrub with clean, damp paper towel until stain disappears.

– Clean remaining paste away with damp paper towel.

– Apply dab of cleaner cream and polish with a clean paper towel.

WARNING

– Do not use cleansers on a heated surface. Fumes could be hazardous. Wait for area to cool before cleaning.

– Do not use cleaner cream to clean porcelain, paint or aluminium.

Oven Cleaning

Cleaning the Regular Oven (non self-clean oven, some models)

Make sure the oven is cool and that all control knobs are et OFF position. Cleaning the oven

is a lot easier when the door is removed.

1. Remove the oven door; see under To Remove and Replace the Oven Door in this Owner's

Guide.

2. Empty the oven including the racks.

3. You can wash the broiler pan, grid and racks in the kitchen sink.

4. Clean oven lining thoroughly with soap and a wet cloth and wipe with a dry cloth.

To remove burned-on fat on oven walls, moisten soiled parts with household ammonia, using

a wet cloth. Follow suggested manufacturer's cleaning method. (Do not remove the oven

door when using ammonia.)

Complete cleaning with a damp cloth and use a fine steel wool scouring agent if necessary.

The lower element can be moved up for cleaning purposes.

5. Replace racks in the oven. Reinstall oven door.

General Cleaning (Continued)

Oven Cleaning (Continued)

Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models)

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small

children unattended near the appliance.

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.

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL pad.

Wait until the oven is cool.

DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean

the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move

the gasket. DO NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or

reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning

1. Remove all excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-clean-

ing cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can

cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT

allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes,

sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may

cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration).

These areas heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean

with soap and water.

3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do

not withstand high cleaning temperatures

4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through

the clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed

and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth

containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks

glide easier.

What to Expect During Cleaning

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal

expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the

oven vent, located on the top of the control panel.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal

and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.

Setting the Controls for Self-Clean Cycle

For the setting of the clean cycle, refer to Timer or Electronic Oven Control Guide.

General Cleaning (continued)

Removable Outer Door Glass Panel (some models)

Applicable only to models with an external glass panel not held with a frame. This design allows you to clean the inside face of

the exterior door panel as well as the hidden face of the door inner glass. There are two different kinds of glass panel; one with

a lower metal trim fixed on the underside of the glass panel and the other one with a lower metal support rail.

To remove the external door glass panel:

1. Pull the door off the range as per instructions under “To Remove and Replace Oven Door” in “Cleaning the Appliance”

section and lay the door flat.

2. Using a screwdriver, remove the screws fastening the glass lower metal trim or the glass assembly.

3. Grab both sides of the glass panel and slowly pull it out of the door upper moulding. Lay the glass flat.

Handle the glass panel with care. When dropped on a corner the glass panel may shatter in multiple fragments

and you could get hurt.

DO NOT remove the lower metal trim, which is fixed on the underside of the glass panel.

To replace the external door panel:

1. Grab the sides of the glass panel and carefully insert the glass into the door top moulding.

2. Replace the glass lower trim or the glass assembly using the locking screws.

3. Replace the door onto the range as per “To Remove and Replace Oven Door” in “Cleaning the Appliance” section.

Storage Drawer (some models)

Use the storage drawer for storing cooking utensils. The drawer can de removed to facilitate cleaning under the range. Use

care when handling the drawer.

To open the storage drawer, push the drawer in gently and it will spring open. To close, push the drawer until you hear a click,

which indicates that the spring is compressed, and the drawer is closed.

To remove the drawer:

1. Pull empty drawer out to the roller guide stop.

2. Tilt the drawer up and pull it out over the rollers.

To replace the drawer:

1. Insert the rear end of the drawer into the opening.

2. Fit the drawer end rollers onto the guide rails.

3. Push the drawer in until it stops, then lift to allow the rollers to clear the

roller guide stop, and push in.

Changing Oven Light

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven

light on during the self-cleaning cycle. High temperature will reduce lamp life.

On some models an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened.

The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located on the control panel.

On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.

THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.

To replace the light bulb:

CAUTION: BE SURE OVEN IS COOL

1. Turn the power off at the main source.

2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.

4. For self-cleaning oven, press wire holder to one side to release glass shield,

change bulb and be sure to replace glass shield.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven

rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is

level, cooktop may appear out of alignment if countertop is not level.

Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range.

Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.

Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure

cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct

the problem.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted

over carpet.

Make sure cord/plug is tightly into outlet.

Service wiring is not complete.

Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for

service.

This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among the

many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller con-

stantly monitors the internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to

insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the

controller will immediately stop the current operation and beep continuously

(flashing an error code of “F1, F2, F3”, or “F9” in the controller display window.

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/CLEAR to clear the

display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains, record fault

number. Press STOP/CLEAR and contact authorized servicer.

Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light in this owner’s Guide for

instructions.

No power to the appliance. Check steps under “Entire Range or Oven Does Not

Operate” in this Before you Call checklist.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to

be used.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be

used.

Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or

heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware

materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy-and medium- weight

pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

OCCURRENCE

Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily.

Appliance must be accessible for

service.

Entire range or oven does not operate.

* Oven control beeps and displays F1,

F2, F3 or F9

Oven light does not work.

Surface unit does not heat.

Surface units too hot or not hot

enough.

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are

not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. You will be charged for a service call while the appliance

is in warranty if the problem is not caused by defective product workmanship or materials.

Your new appliance is a carefully engineered product. Many times, what appears to be a reason to call for service requires

nothing more than a simple adjustment you can easily make in your own home or is normal operating characteristic of appliance

under certain conditions.

This list is applicable to a variety of models; some of the items will not necessarily apply to your appliance.

Solutions to Common Problems

OCCURENCE

Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.

Drip bowls turning color or distorted

out of shape.

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop

surface.

Metalmarks.

Brown streaks or specks.

Areas of discoloration with metallic

sheen.

Poor baking results.

Fan noise during cooking operation.

Flames inside oven or smoking from

vent.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause

corrosion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after spillover.

Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls

as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop

surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO

NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the

element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer.

Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause

scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage.

Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.

Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used.

See “Cooktop Cleaning - Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models” section under General

Cleaning.

Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.

Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils

on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream to remove the

marks. “Cooktop Cleaning - Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models” section under General

Cleaning.

Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. “Cooktop

Cleaning - Ceramic Glass Cooktop Models” section under General Cleaning.

Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop

cleaning cream. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used.

Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to

preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the

recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or

cool, see “Adjusting Oven Temperature” in the Electronic Oven Control guide.

A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal,

and the fan may continue to run even after oven is turned off.

Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.

Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or large

amounts of grease on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting

the self-clean cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the self-clean

cycle and follow the steps under "Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle"

in the Electronic Oven Control guide.

Solutions to Common Problems

OCCURENCE

Oven smokes excessively during

broiling.

Self-cleaning cycle does not work.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under “Setting Oven Controls”.

Make sure oven is opened to Broil Stop Position.

Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance

between the meat and the element. Preheat broil element. Preheat broil element

for searing.

Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the

broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.

Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling

frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under “Oven Cleaning” in the Elec-

tronic Oven Control Guide.

Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be 3 to 4 hours past the start

time. Follow steps under “Stopping or Interrupting the Self-Cleaning Cycle” in the

Electronic Oven Control Guide.

Failure to clean bottom, front top or oven, frame or door area outside oven seal.

These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue.

Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be

cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber. Be careful not to

damage the oven seal.
