IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Remove the oven door from any unused appliance if it
is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The
use of undersized utensils will exposed a portion of the burner
flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve
efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of your sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top
grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combus-
tion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to
your health.
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 tempera-
ture above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connect-
ing it to the power supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Always turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting the
burners. Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust
the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil.
Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the surface burner to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface burner will also improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—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 burner.
Never Leave Surface Burners 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 uten-
sils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a
burner 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 or burners because the covers may cause overheat-
ing. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause
combustion problems.
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 appliance 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 rec-
ommended 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 venti-
lated room.
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.
Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion
The cooktop can be used with Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
If you wish to convert your appliance for use with LP/Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag containing the
literature marked, "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions package with the orifices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all
codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Severe shock or damage to the appliance may occur if the appliance is not installed by a qualified installer.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring that extends beyond
the burner unit. Because this ring
traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
Specialty Pans & Trivets
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
burner unit) 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).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the grates.
Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bot-
tom. There should be no gaps between
the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intend-
ed purpose. Follow manufacturer's in-
structions. Some utensils were not made
to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots,
griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above
recommended cookware requirements.
Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
*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.
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.
Flame extends beyond unit.

Canning Tips &
Information
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 burner grate.
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 and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding
surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit 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 can generate
large amounts of steam. Use extreme cau-
tion to prevent burns. Always raise the
lid to vent steam away from you.
Setting Surface Controls
Assembly of the Surface Burner Heads, Burner Caps
and Burner Grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface Burner Heads,
Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly and
at the correct locations.
1. Place all 4 Burner Heads in the correct locations. Make sure that the
correct Burner Head is placed with the corresponding Orifice Holder
and that the Electrode is located properly in the slot of each Burner
Head (See Figure 1). Proper Burner Head placement insures that each
Burner will have the correct spark required for surface gas ignition.
2. Place the correct Burner Caps at each of the burner locations (Burner
Cap Pilot Hole must face up). Each of the 4 (four) Burner Heads MUST
have a Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size
and must be in place with the Pilot Hole facing up BEFORE placing the
Burner Grates (See Figure 1).
3. Place the 2 (two) cast iron Burner Grates supplied with the range.
Carefully line-up the 2 Grate Pins on each Grate with the Cap Pilot
Holes in the 2 Burner Caps on each side of the range. DO NOT force
the Burner Grates onto the Burner Caps. Forcing the grates down onto
improperly installed Burner Heads and Burner Caps may damage the
gas burners. Each Burner Cap is designed with a Cap Pilot Hole in the
top center of the Cap. Visually check that ALL the Grate Pins line up
into the Burner Cap Pilot Holes (See Figure 1). Properly installed Burner
Grates will rest with all four Grate legs on the glass cooktop.
REMEMBER — DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR
ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING.
Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever the
surface burners are in use.

Never extend the flame
beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher flame simply
wastes heat and energy, and
increases your risk of being
burned by the flame.
RIGHT
WRONG
Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use a chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for
various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If
the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will
brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much
food at once as the food will neither brown or cook properly.
*Flame size Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew.
* These settings are based on using medium thickness aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Proper Burner Adjustments
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted
room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner,
see instructions under General Cleaning.
The surface control knob shown below
may not look identical to the Surface
Control Knobs on your range; They are
only representational.
Setting Surface Controls (Continued)
Operating the Gas Surface Controls
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic
ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning
on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and
adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE
position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE
position.)
5. To turn the burner off, turn the control knob as far as it ill go, to the OFF
position.
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit
manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then
slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.Surface burner in use when an electrical power failure occurs
will continue to operate normally.
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time
without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Do not place plastic 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. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to a flame.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when
the oven is hot.
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.

The rack can be used in 2 ways:
In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under
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:
The control and indicator lights for the Warmer Drawer features are located on the
control panel. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI (high),
MED (medium) and LO (low).
1. Touch the pad at the Warmer Drawer control position. The Warmer Drawer
indicator light will flash. Note: If no further pads are touched within 25 seconds
the request to power the Warmer Drawer ON will clear.

Speed Bake
TM
Cooking System (If Equipped)
Speed Bake
TM
Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly and
continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even
cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at
the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats
cooked with Speed Bake
TM
Cooking System are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside
while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most
foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with Speed
Bake
TM
Cooking System.
Benefits of Speed Bake
TM
Cooking System:
- Foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
- Two racks can be used with more even cooking and browning.
- No special pans or bakeware needed.
General Cooking Instructions:
1. To convert baking times from normal recipes to Speed Bake times, start with a 30%
reduction in time and increase the time until desired doneness is obtained. Time
reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking with Speed Bake, except with items such
as cakes, cookies, biscuits, breads, etc.
3. When using two racks at the same time, place them in positions 1 and 3 for the best
results.
4. When baking cakes with Speed Bake, set temperature 25°F (13°C) degrees lower
than the recommended setting for best results.
To Set Speed Bake
TM
Cooking System:
1. Program the oven as you normally would for baking. Speed Bake may be used with Bake, Time Bake and
Delayed Time Bake modes.
2. Push and releases Speed Bake switch. The indicator light will glow and the fan will come on. The fan

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.
Open door
to the “Broil Stop”
position when broiling.
Always pull oven rack out
to the “stop” position be-
fore turning or removing
food.

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.
The holes in the burner of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and
a complete, even flame. Clean the burners routinely and especially after bad spillovers
which could clog these holes.
To remove, clean and replace the entire burner cap assembly, follow the instructions under
General Cleaning. DO NOT put burner parts in the dishwasher.
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.

Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop
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.
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.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
General Cleaning (Continued)
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.

Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance (continued)
Use and Care of Glass Surface
CERAMA BRYTE®
(Cleaner cream for
ceramic cooktops)
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).
Problem
Fine "brown lines
(tiny scratches or
abrasion which
have collected
soil).
Metal marking
(mark or black
marks).
Brown streaks and
specks.
Cause
Coarse particles (salt, sand, or grit)
between bottom of cookware and
cooktop that are not removed be-
fore cooking.
Using incorrect cleaning materials.
Sliding or scraping metal utensils
or oven shelves across cooktop.
Cleaning with a sponge or dish-
cloth that has been used for other
kitchen tasks.
To Prevent
Clean cooktop after every use.
Use cleaner creme daily.
Do not slide cookware across
cooktop.
Use cleaner creme with clean
damp paper towel.
To Remove
Tiny scratches are not removable.
They can be minimized by continual use
of cleaner creme.Such scratches do not
affect cooking.
Apply cleaner creme with dampened pa-
per towel to a cooled surface.
Use a small amount of cleaner creme
with clean, damp paper towel.
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.

Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance (continued)
Use and Care of Glass Surface
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.
Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (Stainless Steel models only)
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the
appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Cleaning section in this Use
& Care Manual.

General Cleaning (Continued)
Oven Cleaning
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.

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 recipes’ 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.

Avoid Transportation Damage to your Range
If you have to move your range into/out of your residence or when moving to a new home, it is suggested that you take the
following precautions:
1. Screw in the levelling legs under the range.
2. Remove the racks and other utensils from the oven, and from the lower drawer.
3. Use adhesive tape to firmly secure the door and the drawer to the side panels. Also attach the electric power cord in the
same manner.
4. Use a two-wheeled trolley with strap and fasten the range to it. Cover the appliance with a heavy blanket to prevent
scratches and dents.
5. Avoid pulling or pushing the control panel when moving the appliance.

Solutions to Common Problems
OCCURENCE
Flames inside oven or smoking from
vent.
Oven smokes excessively during
broiling.
Self-cleaning cycle does not work.
Soil not completely removed after
self-cleaning cycle.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
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.
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls guide.
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
Electronic 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.
