Important Safety Information  
• Do not heat unopened food containers in oven.  
Buildup of pressure may cause a container to burst and  
result in injury.  
Receiving Oven  
• Authorized servicer must install the range, in  
accordance with the Installation Instructions.  
Adjustments and service should be performed only by  
authorized servicer.  
• Keep range vent ducts unobstructed.  
• Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.  
If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, use a dry  
potholder.  
• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or racks.  
Aluminum foil can cause a fire and will seriously affect  
baking results, and damage to porcelain surfaces.  
• Do not touch interior surfaces of oven during or  
immediately after use. Do not let clothing or other  
flammable materials come in contact with bake or broil  
burners.  
• Other areas of the oven can become hot enough to  
cause burns, such as vent openings, window, oven  
door and oven racks.  
To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth  
to wipe up spills on hot cooking area.  
• Plug range into a 120–volt grounded outlet only. Do not  
remove round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt  
about grounding of the home electrical system, it is  
consumers responsibility and obligation to have an  
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded  
three-prong outlet in accordance with the National  
Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with  
this appliance.  
• Insure all packing materials are removed from the range  
before operating it, to prevent fire or smoke damage  
should the packing material ignite.  
With prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures  
could result. Many floor coverings will not be able to  
withstand this kind of use. Never install range over vinyl  
tile or linoleum that cannot withstand high  
temperatures. Never install range directly over  
carpeting.  
• Do not store combustible or flammable materials, such  
as gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near  
or in oven.  
• Do not clean oven door gasket located on back of the  
door. Gasket is necessary to seal the oven and can be  
damaged as a result of rubbing or being moved.  
• Do not drape towels or any materials on oven door  
handles. These items may ignite causing a fire.  
Using the Oven  
• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a  
range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously  
burned.  
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the  
door. They could damage the range and cause severe  
personal injury.  
• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments  
should never be worn when using oven. Flammable  
material could ignite if brought in contact with flame or  
hot oven surfaces which may cause severe burns.  
• Never use range for warming or heating a room. This  
may cause burns, injuries, or a fire.  
CAUTION  
!
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets  
above range. Children may climb on oven to reach  
these items and become seriously injured.  
Baking, Broiling, and Roasting  
• Do not use oven area for storage.  
• Stand back from range when opening a hot oven door.  
Hot air or steam can cause burns to hands, face, and  
eyes.  
• Do not use water on grease fires.  
• Do not let grease or other flammable materials collect  
in or around range.  
• Do not repair or replace any part of range unless it is  
recommended in this manual.  
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders  
used on hot surfaces may result in a burn from steam.  
Do not let a potholder touch the flame. Do not use a  
towel or a bulky cloth as a potholder.  
• Never leave range unattended while cooking.  
Boilovers can cause smoking and may ignite.  
• Only certain types of glass/ceramic, earthenware, or  
other glazed utensils are suitable for oven use.  
Unsuitable utensils may break due to sudden  
temperature change.  
• Use only glass cookware appropriate for use in electric  
ovens.  
• Always remove broiler pan from oven when finished  
broiling. Grease left in pan can catch fire if oven is used  
without removing grease from the broiler pan.  
• Make sure broiler pan is placed correctly to reduce any  
possibility of grease fires.  
• Should a grease fire occur in the broiler pan, turn off  
oven, and keep oven door closed until fire burns out.  
• Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.

Important Safety Information  
Oven Fires  
Surface Cooking Units  
1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped  
with one or more surface units of different size. 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 burner will also  
improve efficiency.  
1. If smoke is visible, do not open oven door.  
2. Turn oven control to “OFF”.  
3. Turn off power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.  
4. Turn on vent to remove smoke.  
5. Allow food/grease to burn out in oven.  
6. If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.  
7. If there is any damage to components, call an  
authorized servicer before using range.  
2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—Boilover  
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may  
ignite.  
Precautions  
3. Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are In  
Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during  
cooking may subject wiring or components  
underneath to damage.  
• Do not cook food directly on range top surface, always  
use cookware.  
• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical  
mixtures may interact with hazardous results.  
• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.  
• Do not slide rough objects across range top surface.  
• Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat  
can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.  
• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage  
to cooking surface and pan.  
4. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line  
oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may  
result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.  
5. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Do not use glass, ceramic,  
earthware, or other glazed utensils. They can damage  
smoothtop and can break due to sudden change in  
temperature.  
• Do not use range top surface as a cutting board.  
6. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not  
Extend OverAdjacent Surface Units—To reduce the  
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and  
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,  
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it  
is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent  
surface units.

Troubleshooting Procedures  
WARNING  
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to oven before servicing, unless  
testing requires power.  
NOTES:  
1
“Action Taken” applies as long as the condition exists. If the condition goes away, the control recovers.  
2
If there is a cook function or timer active, the function continues. The user cannot edit the function, and [Cancel] will cancel the cook  
mode.  
3
Flash rate: 0.2 seconds on, 0.1 second off. Pressing any key will clear the display until the fault clears and is re-triggered.  
4
“Action Taken” applies until there is a POR (Power On Reset [“hard reset”]).  
5
If the control believes the door is locked, it will attempt to unlock it when the function cancels and the cavity temperature cools.  
6
Special conditions for latch faults (9dxx):  
A known good unlock position is defined as when the unlock switch reads closed and lock switch reads open.  
A known good lock position is defined as when the unlock switch reads open and lock switch reads closed.  
A faulted switch means the switch input is reading an invalid state, neither open nor closed.  
Once a latch fault occurs, latch movement is disabled until there is a POR. An error tone will sound if a function requiring a  
faulted latch is attempted.  
If at POR, the latch is not at a known good unlock position:  
If the latch is at a good lock position, it will attempt to unlock when the RTD (Resistance Temperature Device)  
temperature is below 400°F.  
If the latch is not at a good lock position, the control will fault.  
If a latch fault occurs while the RTD is above the lock temperature, the latch will not try to move, but the fault is still logged  
to EEPROM after the first stage of detection.  
The Display column for latch faults applies 1) If the latch was moving when the fault occurred; 2) If the latch is already in a  
known locked state when the fault occurs.  
LOCK flashes after a fault is detected and until the unlocked position is achieved. The unlock position may be  
identified by a successful unlock switch closure, or as the result of timing when the unlock switch is not  
functioning properly.  
If the last known good position was unlock (e.g. baking, or idle) and a latch fault occurs, the motor is never moved. The  
fault is logged to EEPROM and is not seen by the user.  
Latch fault detection is in two stages. The first stage is to allow the control to recover without moving the latch. After this:  
If the latch was previously at a known good unlock position, the latch will not move and the control will fault.  
If the control was previously in a known good lock position:  
If the RTD is below 400°F, the latch will attempt to recover to it’s proper position (up to three  
revolutions). If it cannot, the control will fault and the latch will move to a calculated unlock position.  
If the RTD is at or above 400°F, the control will fault. When the RTD cools to below 400°F, the control  
will attempt to recover to a good unlock position (up to three revolution). If it cannot, the control will fault  
and the latch will move to a calculated unlock position.  
Note: If the unlock position cannot be found, this may result in a second fault, the first fault occurring  
when the latch request was locked, and the second when the latch request is unlocked.  
If the latch is moving when the fault occurs, the control will bypass the first stage of detection and immediately try  
to find it’s proper position. If it cannot, the control will fault and the latch will move to a calculated unlock position.  
Affected DLBs (Double Line Breaks) and loads are disabled during detection.  
If the control is in a known good unlock position and the lock switch becomes faulted:  
The control will not fault.  
If a function requiring latch movement is attempted while the lock switch is faulted, the control will sound an error  
tone and the function will be disabled.  
If the control is in a known good lock position and the unlock switch becomes faulted:  
The control will not fault.  
After the function is canceled and unlock is attempted, the control will attempt to unlock the latch according to  
the procedures in these notes.

reduce setting to a lower  
heat when liquids begin to  
boil or foods begin to cook.  
Setting the Controls  
1. Place pan on surface element.  
2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired  
heat setting.  
• The control panel is marked to identify which  
element the knob controls. For example, the  
graphic at right indicates left front element.  
Med. Low (3-4):  
Use to continue  
cooking covered  
foods or steam  
foods.  
3. There is an element “ON” indicator light on the control  
panel. When any surface control knob is turned on, the  
light will turn on. The light will turn off when all the  
surface elements are turned off.  
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.  
Medium (5-7): Use to  
maintain slow boil for  
large amounts of liquids  
and for most frying  
operations.  
Med. High (8-9): Use  
to brown meat, heat oil  
for deep fat frying or  
sauteing. Maintain fast  
boil for large amounts  
of liquids.  
CAUTION  
AFTER COOKING  
• Make sure surface unit is turned off.  
• Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.  
BEFORE COOKING  
• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it  
on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface  
unit without a pan in place.  
OTHER TIPS  
NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or  
cookware.  
• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking  
surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can  
be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera-  
tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids,  
cleaners or aerosol sprays.  
NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the  
cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable  
items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in  
closed containers causing them to burst.  
DURING COOKING  
• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface  
unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.  
• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a  
lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a  
high heat setting for extended cooking.  
NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the  
pan and the appliance.  
NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some  
parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units,  
to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders  
to protect hands.  
NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other  
metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to  
contact heating elements.

Surface Cooking  
Coil Elements  
Coil Element Surface  
• When an element is on, it will cycle on and off to maintain the  
heat setting.  
Notes:  
• Clean cooktop after each use.  
• Coil elements are self-cleaning. Do not immerse in water.  
To remove: When cool, raise ele-  
ment. Carefully pull out and away  
from receptacle.  
• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop  
has cooled as these spills may discolor or etch the  
porcelain.  
To replace: Insert element ter-  
minals into receptacle. Guide the  
element into place. Press down on  
the outer edge of element until it  
sits level on drip bowl.  
To protect drip bowl finish:  
• To lessen discoloration and crazing, avoid using high  
heat for long periods.  
• Do not use oversized cookware. Pans should not  
extend more than 1-2 inches beyond the element.  
TERMINALS  
Drip Bowls  
• When home canning or cooking with big pots, use  
the Canning Element (Model CE1). Contact your  
Maytag dealer for details or call 1-877-232-6771 USA  
or 1-800-688-8408 Canada to order.  
The drip bowls under each surface element catch boilovers and  
mustalwaysbeused. Absenceofdripbowlsduringcookingmay  
damage wiring.  
To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire, never line drip bowls  
with aluminum foil.  
• Clean frequently. (See page 17.)  
Drip bowls will discolor (blue/gold stains) or craze over time if  
overheated. This discoloration or crazing is permanent. This will  
not affect cooking performance.  
Lift–up Porcelain Cooktop  
To lift: When cool, grasp the cooktop front edge. Gently lift  
up until the two support rods snap into place.  
To lower: Hold the cooktop front edge and carefully push  
back on each support rod to release. Then lower the top into  
place.

elements. Turn control knob to OFF  
before switching element size.  
Press the switch to the left to use the  
large element or to the right to use the  
small element.  
CAUTION  
AFTER COOKING  
• Make sure surface unit is turned off.  
• Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.  
BEFORE COOKING  
• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it  
on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface  
unit without a pan in place.  
NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or  
cookware.  
OTHER TIPS  
• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking  
surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can  
be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera-  
tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids,  
cleaners or aerosol sprays.  
NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the  
cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable  
items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in  
closed containers causing them to burst.  
DURING COOKING  
• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface  
unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.  
• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a  
lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a  
high heat setting for extended cooking.  
NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the  
pan and the appliance.  
NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some  
parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units,  
to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders  
to protect hands.  
NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other  
metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to  
contact heating elements.  
NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall  
and damage it.

Surface Cooking  
Hot Surface Light  
Smoothtop Surface  
The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the  
control panel. The light will be illuminated  
when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on,  
even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled.  
Smoothtop Surface Notes:  
• For Canadian models, the smoothtop does NOT operate  
during a clean cycle.  
Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few  
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.  
OFF  
Warming Center (select models)  
Use the Warming Center to keep hot cooked foods  
warm, such as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe  
dinner plates.  
Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time  
after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off  
a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use  
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the Hot  
Surface indicator light turns off, the cooking area will be  
cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain  
heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to  
changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.  
Setting the Control:  
Press switch up to turn off or down to activate.  
ON  
Notes:  
Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30  
minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.  
• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from  
the cooking surface.  
• Do not heat cold food on the Warming Center.  
• Warming temperatures of the food will vary depending  
on type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper  
food temperatures. USDA recommends food tempera-  
tures between 140°-170° F.  
Never attempt to lift the cooktop.  
• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is  
hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface  
cools.  
Warming Center Notes:  
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for  
oven and cooktop use.  
Cooking Areas  
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent  
circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,  
fit the pan size to the element size.  
1
• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the  
Warming Center as cookware and plates will be hot.  
2
Pans should not extend more than / to 1-inch beyond  
the cooking area.  
• All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to  
maintain food quality.  
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the  
smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to  
maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.  
• When warming pastries and breads the cover should have  
an opening to allow moisture to escape.  
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt  
on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.  
For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware  
Recommendations on page 7 and “Cooking Made Simple”

immediately. (See Cleaning, page 20.)  
Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and  
pan.  
• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the  
cooktop trim for a long period of time.  
Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.  
Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads  
which will scratch the cooktop.  
Never cook food directly on the surface.  
• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does  
this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning  
onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.  
Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not  
specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.  
• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or  
uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or  
oversized canners and griddles.  
To Prevent Marks & Scratches  
• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.  
Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and  
pan. These items can mark or etch the top.  
• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto  
the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an  
authorized Maytag Servicer.  
• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans  
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See  
Cleaning, page 20.)  
• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before  
turning on to prevent scratches.  
• To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top,  
do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe  
the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel  
before using.  
Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since  
these may scratch.

Surface Cooking  
Canning and Oversize  
Cookware  
Cookware Recommendations  
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such  
as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent  
results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less  
energy, and cook food more evenly.  
All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and  
must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical  
on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than  
1 inch larger than the element.  
When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking  
times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.  
Flat Pan Tests  
See if your pans are flat.  
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on  
smoothtop surfaces.  
The Ruler Test:  
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.  
When canning, use the High heat setting only until the  
water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.  
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or  
pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be  
damaged.  
2. Hold it up to the light.  
3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.  
The Bubble Test:  
See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.  
1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn  
control to High.  
2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.  
Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven  
bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.  
See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.

CAUTION  
AFTER COOKING  
• Make sure surface unit is turned off.  
• Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.  
BEFORE COOKING  
• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it  
on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface  
unit without a pan in place.  
NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or  
cookware.  
OTHER TIPS  
• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking  
surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can  
be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera-  
tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids,  
cleaners or aerosol sprays.  
NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the  
cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable  
items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in  
closed containers causing them to burst.  
DURING COOKING  
• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface  
unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.  
• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a  
lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a  
high heat setting for extended cooking.  
NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the  
pan and the appliance.  
NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some  
parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units,  
to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders  
to protect hands.  
NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other  
metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to  
contact heating elements.  
NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall  
and damage it.

Smoothtop Surface Notes:

when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on,  
even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled.  
Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few  
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.  
Warming Center (style may vary by model)  
Use the Warming Center to keep hot cooked foods warm, such  
as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates.  
Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time  
after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off  
a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use  
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the Hot  
Surface Indicator light turns off, the cooking area will be  
cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain  
heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to  
changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.  
Setting the Control:  
Touch the Surface Warming Center pad and  
then the Autoset pad. Press Autoset pad again  
to turn off.  
Warming Center Notes:  
• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from  
the cooking surface.  
Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30  
minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.  
Never attempt to lift the cooktop.  
• Do not heat cold food on the Warming Center.  
• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is  
hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface  
cools.  
• Warming temperatures of the food will vary depending on  
type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper food  
temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures  
between 140°-170° F.  
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for  
oven and cooktop use.  
Cooking Areas  
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent  
circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,  
fit the pan size to the element size.  
1
• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the  
Warming Center as cookware and plates will be hot.  
• All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to  
maintain food quality.  
2
Pans should not extend more than / to 1-inch beyond  
the cooking area.  
• When warming pastries and breads the cover should have  
an opening to allow moisture to escape.  
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the  
smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to  
maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.  
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt  
on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.  
For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware

Surface Cooking  
To Prevent Stains  
Tips to Protect the  
Smoothtop Surface  
• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the  
cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains  
on the cooking surface after the area is heated.  
Cleaning (see page 21 for more information)  
• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in  
a permanent stain.  
• Before first use, clean the cooktop.  
• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep  
your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.  
To Prevent Other Damage  
• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the  
spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough  
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a  
clean dry towel.  
• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content  
to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean  
immediately. (See Cleaning, page 21.)  
Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and  
pan.  
• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the  
cooktop trim for a long period of time.  
Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.  
Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads  
which will scratch the cooktop.  
Never cook food directly on the surface.  
• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does  
this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning  
onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.  
Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not  
specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.  
• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or  
uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or  
oversized canners and griddles.  
To Prevent Marks & Scratches  
• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.  
Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and  
pan. These items can mark or etch the top.  
• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto  
the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an  
authorized Maytag Servicer.  
• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans  
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See  
Cleaning, page 21.)  
• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before  
turning on to prevent scratches.  
• To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top,  
do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe  
the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel  
before using.  
Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since  
these may scratch.

Cookware Recommendations  
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such  
as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent  
results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less  
energy, and cook food more evenly.  
All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and  
must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical  
on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than  
1 inch larger than the element.  
When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking  
times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.  
Flat Pan Tests  
See if your pans are flat.  
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on  
smoothtop surfaces.  
The Ruler Test:  
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.  
When canning, use the High heat setting only until the  
water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.  
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or  
pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be  
damaged.  
2. Hold it up to the light.  
3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.  
The Bubble Test:  
See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.  
1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn  
control to High.  
2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.  
Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven  
bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.  
See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.

Broil Notes:  
• For best results when broiling, use a two-piece broiler  
pan.  
To set Broil:  
1. Press the appropriate Broil pad.  
• BROIL, UPPER and SET flash.  
HI broil is used for most broiling. Use LO broil when  
broiling longer cooking foods to allow them to cook to  
well done stage without excessive browning.  
2. Press the Autoset pad once to set HI broil or  
twice to set LO broil.  
• HI or LO will be displayed.  
• Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling  
temperature is selected.  
Select HI broil for normal broiling. Select LO broil for  
low-temperature broiling of longer cooking foods such  
as poultry.  
• Never cover broiler pan insert with aluminum foil. This  
prevents fat from draining to the pan below.  
3. After four seconds, the oven will start.  
• BROIL and HI or LO will remain lit.  
• Expect broil times to increase and browning to be slightly  
lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt circuit.  
• If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the  
Broil pad and the Autoset pad, the oven will not be set  
and the display will return to the previous display.  
• HI is used for most broiling. Use LO broil when broiling  
longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows  
food to cook to the well done stage without excessive  
browning.  
4. For optimum browning, preheat broil element for 3-4  
minutes before adding food.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature  
Automatic Shut-Off/Sabbath  
Mode  
Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the  
factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning  
differences between a new oven and an old one. As ovens  
get older, the oven temperature can shift.  
The ovens will automatically turn off after 12 hours if you  
accidentally leave them on.  
To cancel the 12-hour shut-off and run an  
oven continuously for 72 hours:  
1. Press and hold the Clock pad for three seconds  
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is  
not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to  
change the temperature, set the temperature 25 degrees  
higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake.  
The results of the first bake should give you an idea of how  
much to adjust the temperature.  
• “SAb” will be displayed and flash for five seconds.  
• “SAb” will then be displayed continuously until turned  
off or until the 72-hour time limit is reached.  
To adjust the oven temperature:  
1. Press the appropriate Bake pad.  
• BAKE will also be displayed if a bake setting is in use  
while the oven is in Sabbath Mode.  
2. Enter 550° by pressing the appropriate number pads.  
• All pads are inactive except CANCEL and Clock. All  
other functions EXCEPT BAKE (Timer, Keep Warm,  
Clean, etc.) are locked out during the Sabbath Mode.  
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until  
00° appears in the display.  
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the  
change will be displayed. For example, if the oven tem-  
perature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.  
To cancel the Sabbath Mode:  
1. Press the CLOCK pad for three seconds.  
• “SAb” will flash for five seconds.  
• The time of day will return to the display.  
OR  
4. Press the Autoset pad to adjust the temperature.  
Each time the Autoset pad is pressed, the temperature  
changes by 5°. The oven temperature can be increased or  
decreased by 5° to 35°.  
2. After 72 hours, the Sabbath Mode will end.  
• “SAb” will flash for five seconds.  
• The time of day will return to the display.  
5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.  
You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a  
power failure or interruption. Temperature adjustment applies  
to Bake, Convect Bake and Convect Roast (lower oven only)  
only.  
Sabbath Mode Notes:  
• Sabbath Mode can be turned on at any time with or  
without the ovens on.  
• When the Sabbath Mode is started, the temperature  
display will immediately show the set temperature, rather  
than the actual oven cavity temperature. No preheat beep  
will sound.  
• Sabbath Mode cannot be turned on if the keypads are  
locked out or when the doors are locked.  
• The self-clean cycle and automatic door lock do not  
operate during the Sabbath Mode.  
• Most prompts and messages and all beeps are  
deactivated when Sabbath Mode is active.  
• Pressing CANCEL pad will cancel a Bake cycle, however  
the control will stay in the Sabbath Mode.  
• If an oven is baking when Sabbath Mode is set, BAKE  
will go out at the end of the baking cycle or when the  
CANCEL pad is pressed. There will be no audible beeps.  
• If power fails, the ovens will power up in Sabbath Mode  
with 72 hours remaining and no cycle active.  
• If the oven lights are desired while in Sabbath Mode,  
they must be turned on before the Sabbath Mode is  
started.

Oven Cooking  
Oven Racks  
Oven Vent  
When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become  
hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.  
CAUTION  
The oven vent is located below the backguard on your  
range.  
• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven  
is hot.  
When high moisture foods are cooked in the upper oven,  
steam may be visible coming from the oven vent. This is  
normal.  
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.  
OVEN VENT  
LOCATION  
All racks are designed with a lock-stop edge.  
Upper oven  
• Is equipped with one rack and rack  
position.  
Do not place  
plastics near the  
vent opening as  
heat from the vent  
could distort or  
melt the plastic.  
• When pulling the upper oven rack out to  
remove or check food, grasp the top edge  
of the rack.  
Lower oven  
• Is equipped with one RollerGlideTM rack and two regular flat  
racks.  
Oven Lights  
The oven lights automatically come on whenever  
an oven door is opened. When the door is closed,  
press the Oven Light pad to turn the oven light  
on or off. A beep will sound every time the Oven  
Light pad is pressed.  
To remove oven racks:

To replace oven racks:  
• Place rack on the rack support in  
the oven; tilt the front end up  
slightly; slide rack back until it  
clears the lock-stop position; lower  
front and slide back into the oven.  
Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or  
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use  
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not  
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven  
bottom.  
Baking and Roasting with the

RollerGlideTM Rack (lower oven only)  
A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when  
the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns on  
after the Convect Bake or Convect Roast pads are pressed  
and will turn off when convection is canceled.  
Baking  
• For optimal baking results when baking on one rack, use  
the RollerGlideTM rack.  
Note: The convection fans will automatically stop when  
the oven door is opened.  
• When baking on two racks, use the RollerGlideTM rack in  
the bottom rack position, and the flat rack in the upper rack  
position.  
Roasting  
• When roasting large cuts of meat and poultry, use the  
RollerGlideTM rack for ease of movement.

discolor if acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up before a  
self-clean cycle.  
Self-Clean Ovens  
CAUTION  
Notes:  
• It is normal for parts of the ovens to become hot during a  
self-clean cycle.  
• Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program a  
clean cycle.  
• To prevent damage to oven doors, do not attempt to open  
the doors when LOCK is displayed.  
Only one oven can be cleaned at a time.  
• Both oven doors lock when either oven is being  
cleaned.  
• Avoid touching doors, windows or oven vent area during  
a clean cycle.  
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish  
or around any part of the ovens. They will damage the

ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.  
Before Self-Cleaning  
1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning as the light may  
burn out during the clean cycle.  
Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs  
the self-cleaning time.  
2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the  
oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily  
after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.  
5. After four seconds, the oven will start cleaning.  
• If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and ‘door’ will  
display. If the door is not closed within 30 seconds, the  
self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display  
will return to the time of day.  
3. Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside of gasket, and  
around the opening in the door gasket) with a nonabrasive  
cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The

If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide  
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports  
with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to  
move.  
Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs  
the self-cleaning time.  
6. After four seconds, CLEAN, DELAY and UPPER or LOWER  
will light and LOCK will flash in the display. When the  
oven door latches, LOCK will stop flashing and light  
continuously to show that the oven is set for a delayed  
clean operation. The delay time will display.  
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went  
through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not  
affect performance.  
A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic  
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean  
cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect perfor-  
mance.  
Self-Clean Notes:  
• If an oven door is left open, “door” will appear in the  
display and a signal will beep until the door is closed  
and the Clean pad is pressed again.  
During the Self-Clean Cycle  
When LOCK shows in the display, both oven doors are locked.  
To prevent damage to the doors, do not force the doors open  
when LOCK is displayed.  
• If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the  
Clean pad and the Autoset pad, the program will  
automatically return to the previous display.  
Smoke and Smells  
You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few  
times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in  
time.  
• The oven doors will be damaged if the oven doors are  
forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.  
Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a  
broiler pan was left in the oven.  
Sounds  
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts  
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not  
damage the oven.
