IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOK TOP

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN

•Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
•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 heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and 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 units.
•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings —
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
•Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements—
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
•Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.
•When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on. •Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.
•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. 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 heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
•Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
•Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
•Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

•Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
•Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
•Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. F ollow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

•Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top—If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
•Clean Cook Top 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 noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

•Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Owner’s Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
•Do Not Use Oven Cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
•Do Not Clean Door Gasket—The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. •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.

Surface Cooking for
Models with a CeramicGlass Cook Top

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning in the G eneral Cleaning a nd A void
Service Checklist sections 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 glasstop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too small for the element or if the pan bottom is not flat.

Ceramic-Glass Cooktop

The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the surface of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the units are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas surrounding the surface units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to glass or difficulty in cleaning will result.

Radiant Surface Units

The Radiant Surface Unit is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic fixture below the glass cooktop. The unit temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the unit will cycle on and off. The heating unit retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat in the heating zone.
For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. The amount of residual heat depends on the type and quality of cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat setting.

Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)

The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within the same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for operating the different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The larger unit or both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage and can be used to prepare larger quantities of food in larger pans. When using the outer coil, both inner and outer coils operate.

Indicator Light(s)

There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your range—a surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator.
The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any surface unit is turned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot cooktop surface indicator, located under the glass cooktop or on the control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.

Setting Surface
Controls for Models with Radiant Elements

Radiant Surface Unit Control

To Operate Radiant Surface Unit

1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit.
3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The hot cooktop surface light will continue to glow after the control knob is turned to off and will glow until the element has cooled sufficiently.

To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Unit (If equipped)

Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. Indicates inner coil only.
Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking. Push in and turn the Control Knob in either direction to the desired setting as instructed above.

To Operate Simmer Select Surface Unit (If equipped)
Dual Radiant Surface Unit Control

The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select unit as you would any normal surface unit on the medium to high settings.
The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select feature.
This feature allows the element to heat at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface unit. This allows you to precisely simmer delicate foods.

Simmer Select Surface Unit Control
After turning a Radiant
Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to touch either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will turn dark in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if the units are touched at this time.
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 unit.
When using the Simmer
Select feature the element will not glow red when it is hot.

You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at any time during the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob indicator between MAX and MIN for simmering or between MED and HI for normal cooking.
NOTE: The unit will not operate if the knob is positioned in the space between
MAX and MED.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Self-Cleaning

During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range 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 wellventilated room.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after the self-clean cycle.
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.
These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.
After the 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 position).
4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the selfcleaning 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 milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

16

Self-Cleaning

Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

To Start the Self-Clean Cycle

*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average to heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.

2. Push
3. Push the the . "— — —" appears in the display. until "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle, or push until "2:00" appears in the display for a 2 hour cycle.

4. As soon as the

or

is released, "CLn" appears in the display.

5. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the "LOCK" indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the lock to close). 6. The "LOCK" light will glow until the cleaning cycle is completed or cancelled, and the oven temperature has cooled.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:
1. The time of day or “End” will appear in the display window and the “Clean” and "LOCK" light will continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. If “End” is in the display and the “Clean” indicator remains on, press
CANCEL or CLEAR. The time of day will appear in the display.

Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle

If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire:
1. Push CLEAR or CANCEL
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.
4. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range

Surfaces

How to Clean

Glass, Painted and Plastic Control
Knobs, Body Parts, and Decorative
Trim

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. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Stainless Steel, Chrome Control Panel,
Decorative Trim

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 and a dishcloth.
Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse. 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. Cleaners made especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic
American Corp., or similar products are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place. Porcelain Enamel Broiler Pan and
Insert, Door Liner, Body Parts, Warmer
Drawer (if equipped)

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

Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

Aluminum (Trim Pieces) & Vinyl

Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is cool. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible.
Regular cleanings will reduce the effort required for major cleanings later.

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

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).
Oven Door

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.

General Cleaning Ceramic Glass Cooktop
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramicglass surface.
B efore cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic-glass cooktop. If food spills, grease spatters and metal rub-off from aluminum cookware are not removed, they may be burned onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

Daily Cleaning

For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe up spills and spatters using a clean paper towel. Always use a new, clean paper towel when cleaning the ceramic-glass cooktop.
3. Rub a few drops of a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream onto soiled area using a clean, damp paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating of silicone which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions. Clean surface with the cooktop cleaning cream after each use.
4. Rinse with another clean damp, paper towel. Buff dry with a dry paper towel. For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Carefully scrape soil with a metal razor blade scraper. Hold razor blade scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop.
3. Remove loosened soil with a clean paper towel.
4. Apply cooktop cleaning cream as described for normal soil.
5. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. After all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cooktop cleaning cream.
For sugary spillovers:
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.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
2. 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.
3. Allow the cooktop to cool.
4. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.
DO NOT use the following on the ceramic-glass cooktop:
• Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads. They may scratch the cooktop and make it more difficult to clean later.
• Sponges, cloths or dish towels. Lint or soil remaining on the cooktop from a cloth or sponge can burn and cause discoloration.
• Anything that may melt (plastics, aluminum foil).
• Cleansers other than a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream. • Chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid, chemical oven cleaners or any other kind of chemical cleaner. They may etch or discolor the cooktop.

Avoid Service Checklist

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.

OCCURRENCE

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Range is not level.

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 oven rack is level.
Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range. If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for service. Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Surface element too hot or not hot enough. Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element to be used.

Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

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 mediumweight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
Surface element does not heat.

No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not
Operate" in this Avoid Service Checklist.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element to be used.
Element not making contact in block. Follow instructions under "Surface
Elements and Drip Bowls" in the General Cleaning section.

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

Cooktop and/or oven light (some models) does not work.

Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Cooktop and/or Oven Lights (some models) in this Owner's Guide for instructions.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling. Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls.
Make sure oven door 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 for searing.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
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.

22

Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.

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 a spillover
Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

Drip bowls turning color or distorted.

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. *Oven control beeps continuously with no indicator lights flashing. (If model is equipped with a display, F1 or F3 will show.) This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among its many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating correctly.
