CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

WARNING

• Do not touch surface zones, areas near

these zones, heating elements or interior

surfaces of the oven. ALL surface zones and

oven heating elements may be hot even though

they are dark in color. Areas near surface

zones may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let

clothing or other flammable materials touch

these areas until they have had sufficient time

to cool. Among these areas are the cook top,

surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent

openings and surfaces near these openings,

oven door and window.

• Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or

hanging garments should never be worn

while using the appliance. Do not let clothing

or other flammable materials contact hot

surfaces.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—

Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use

baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type

extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it

closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed

to become too hot.

• Use only dry potholders - Moist or damp

potholders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch

hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or

other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers -

Buildup of pressure may cause container to

burst and result in injury.

• To avoid a possible fire hazard, never use

your appliance for warming or heating a

room.

• Do not cook foods directly on the oven

bottom. To avoid damaging the oven interior

always use proper cookware and always use

the oven racks.

CAUTION

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to

line the oven bottom, except as suggested in

the manual. Improper installation of these liners

may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

Important instructions for using your

cooktop

• Know which control operates each surface

heating zone. Place a pan of food on the unit

before turning it on, and turn the zone 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 elements—

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 elements 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 attempt to operate the range during

a power failure. If the power fails, always turn

off the range. If the range is not turned off and

the power resumes, the range will begin to

operate again. Once the power resumes, reset

the clock and oven function.

• Be sure to always have an appropriate foam-

type fire extinguisher available, visible and

easily accessible located near the appliance.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range

if it is to be stored or discarded.

Do not store items of interest to children in

the cabinets above a range or on the

backguard of a range. Children climbing on the

range to reach items could be seriously injured.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important instructions for cleaning your

range

• 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. Follow manufacturer’s

instructions for cleaning.

Important instructions for using your

oven

• Use care when opening oven door or lower

oven 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.

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.

Self cleaning ovens

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the

parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. 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.

For Ceramic-glass cooktop models

• 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.

• 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.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic

control. When using the appliance for the first

time, or when the appliance has not been used

for an extended period of time, be certain the

unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C)

for at least 3 hours before turning on the power

to the appliance.

• Do not immerse or soak removable heating

elements—Heating elements should never be

immersed in water. Heating elements clean

themselves during normal operation.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with

aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could

ignite.

Surface Cooking

Cookware

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware will influence

settings needed for the best cooking results. Be

sure to follow the recommendations for using

proper cookware as illustrated.

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and

quickly heat is transferred from the surface element

to the pan bottom. The most popular materials

available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some

types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized

aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If

aluminum pans slide across the ceramic

cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will

resemble scratches. Remove these marks

immediately.

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors

easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass

(see Aluminum above).

• Stainless steel - Slow heat conductor with

uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean

and resists staining.

• Cast iron - A poor heat conductor however will

retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking

temperature is reached. Not recommended for

use on ceramic cooktops.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating

characteristics will vary depending on base

material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be

smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

• Glass- Slow heat conductor. Not recommended

for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may

scratch the glass.

Cookware should always:

• Have flat bottoms.

• Have tight fitting lids.

• Be well-balanced.

• Be made of material that conducts heat well.

• Be easy to clean.

• Match to the size of the element.

• have a

curved or

warped

bottom.

• hang over

the surface

element by

more than

one-half

inch.

• be smaller

than the

element by

more than

one-half

inch.

• have a

heavy

handle that

tilts the pan.

Cookware should not:

For more information about the ceramic cooktop

see “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in the Care

& Cleaning section.

Cookware should

have flat bottoms

that make good

contact with the

entire surface

heating element.

Check for flatness

by rotating a ruler

across the bottom

of the cookware.

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 even 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.

How the cooktop works

About the ceramic glass cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements

mounted below the surface of the glass. Heat is

transferred up through the surface of the cooktop

to the cookware.

The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the

area of the surface element underneath. Your

range is equipped with radiant surface burners with

different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food

quicker and in larger volumes increases as the

element wattage increases.

The type and size of cookware, the number of

surface elements in use and the 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.

NOTES

• 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 cooktop. Cycling at higher

settings is normal. Cycling may also occur if

the cookware is too small for the radiant

element or if the cookware bottom is warped

(refer to Using Proper Cookware on page 7).

• Read the detailed instructions for ceramic

glass cooktop cleaning in both the Care and

Cleaning and Before You Call sections of

this Use and Care Manual.

Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm

zone will not glow red when it is hot.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when

removing food from the keep warm zone as

cookware and plates will be hot.

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.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic

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.

CAUTION

Surface Cooking

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the

control panel. When the upper oven is operational,

warm air will pass through this vent naturally. The

venting is necessary for proper air circulation and

provides good baking results in the upper oven.

Do not block this vent.

oven vent location

Surface Cooking

Be sure to read and observe all the following

points when home canning using your

appliance:

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home

canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner

bottom.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil

more quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing

the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved,

reduce heat to lowest possible setting to

maintain that boil.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not

exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element

markings. It is recommended to use smaller

diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic

glass cooktops.

• When using two canners at the same time,

stagger the canners on the left and right sides of

the cooktop. This will help distribute the heat

more evenly.

Home Canning

Be sure to review the latest online information

available for home canning. Some suggestions

would be the U.S. Department of Agriculture

Food Safety and Inspection Service or the

National Center for Home Food Preservation

(NCHFP).

IMPORTANT

DO NOT straddle a cooking utensil over two

different surface cooking areas at the same

time. This might cause the ceramic cooktop to

fracture.

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material

that can melt to make contact with the

ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on

the cooktop they will damage the ceramic

cooktop.

beyond the bottom edge of the cookware

indicates the cookware is too small for the

surface heating area.

• Radiant elements have a limiter that will make

the element cycle ON and OFF, even at the

high setting. This helps prevent damage to the

ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the high setting

is normal and will occur more frequently if the

cookware is too small for the radiant element

or if the cookware bottom is warped.

Refer to the suggested settings (Figure 1) when

choosing a setting for food. If a particular food is

not listed, start with the med setting and adjust as

needed. Most foods may be kept at serving

temperatures when using the med setting.

-Fig. 2-

Always start with hot, cooked foods. It is not

recommended to heat cold food to serving

temperatures. Foods like vegetables, gravies,

casseroles, soups, stews, breads, and pastries

work well on the warming zone. The warming zone

works well for warming oven-safe dinner plates.

Setting Surface Controls

CAUTION

• Unlike other surface elements, the warming

zone will not glow red when it is hot. To avoid

possible burns always use potholders or oven

mitts when moving food to and from the

warming zone. Cookware or plates will be

hot.

• 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 flammable items such as

plastic salt & pepper shakers, spoon holders,

plastic wrappings or aluminum foil 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.

Oven Cooking

Removing and replacing flat or offset

oven racks

• To remove - pull the oven rack straight forward

until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of

oven rack slightly and slide out.

• To replace - place the oven rack on the rack

guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack

upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into

place.

CAUTION

Oven racks

Air circulation in the oven

For best air circulation when baking, allow a space

of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) around the cookware for

proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware

do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or

back of the oven cavity.

Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware

for even heat to reach the food.

Types of oven racks

Fully extendable

Luxury-Glide™ oven

rack

Fig. 4

Always use potholders or oven mitts when

removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait

until the oven has completely cooled if possible.

Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.

Offset oven rack

(some models)

Fig. 3

Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking

needs and may be placed in most oven rack

positions.

The offset oven rack (some models, see Figure 3)

provides additional stepdown positions from the

standard flat rack design. The offset design

positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack

position lower than the flat rack and may be used in

most oven rack positions.

The fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ oven rack

(see Figure 4) allows you to effortlessly extend your

food away from the oven. See Removing and

Replacing the Luxury-Glide™ Oven Racks for

instructions.

Fig. 2

Flat oven rack

Your appliance may be equipped with any one or

more of the following oven rack types:

The fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ rack makes

food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide

tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from

the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

Removing and replacing the

Luxury-Glide™ oven racks

To remove - Using one hand, reach through handle

opening and lift up on the release lever located

across the lower front of the rack as shown in

Figure 1.

While holding up the release lever, pull the glide

rack out of the oven until the stop position is

reached (see Figure 2). Using both hands, grasp

the upper and lower portions of the glide rack. Lift

up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull

the rack away from the oven (see Figure 3). Be

sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions

together when removing or handling the glide rack .

The rack portions move independently and are

difficult to handle unless held together.

To replace - grasp both upper and lower portions of

glide rack, lift and hold the rack level between the

oven cavity walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward

slightly and slide the rack completely into position.

Some force may be necessary to make sure the

oven rack has snapped completely into place.

Luxury Glide™ oven racks

IMPORTANT

Remove ALL oven racks before starting a self-

clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven

during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the

Luxury-Glide™ oven racks may be damaged and

all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.

Clean oven racks according to the instructions

provided in the Care & Cleaning section.
