IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven 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.
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
• Use proper pan size — This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve
efficiency.
• 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 grid with aluminum foil. Exposed
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units — To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil.
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 range or turn off
the power to the range before removing and replacing light bulb.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended — Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food.
Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease
filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food
under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils — Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions for rangetop use.
• Cleaners/Aerosols — Always follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• 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.
• Use Care When Opening Door — 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.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented
between the cooktop and the backguard. 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.
• 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 colour will change if left in the
oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold
temperatures. When you use your range for the first time, or if
it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it
has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least
3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

Pans should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface element.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom. There should be no gaps between the
pan and ruler.
•Heavy handle tilts pan.
Pan sizes match the amount of food to bepre-
pared and the size of the surface element.
•
Made of material that conducts heat well.
Easy to clean.
•
•
•Pan is smaller than element.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
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.
Setting Surface Controls
NOTE: Control knob shown is typical only.
1. Place the pan on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.
3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn the ele-
ment off before removing the pan.
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.

Indicator Light
Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units.
The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the individual
heating unit is turned on. If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the indicator may glow and yet, the heating unit may not be
heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.
When cooking is finished, a quick glance at the indicator lights is an easy check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned to OFF “ ”.
Oven Baking
For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc... There is no need to preheat the oven
for roasting meat or baking casseroles.

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 Owner’s
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.
Open door to the “Broil
Stop”position when broiling.
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
Always pull oven rack out to the “stop” position before
turning or removing food.
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.
Oven Settings
For oven settings, refer to the timer section or the electronic oven control.

Cleaning the Appliance
Before cleaning any part of the range, make sure all heating elements are turned
to OFF and are cool.
“
”
Exterior Cleaning
Clean range after each use to prevent sticky grease built-up and spills from cooking on. Wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. Wipe
with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Do not use abrasives, steel wool, cleaners containing ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners on any exterior parts of the range, except
the porcelain enamel cooktop. If a metal cleaner or polish is used on metal trim, be sure the label specifies that it is safe for use on chrome
and aluminium.
Control Panel
Control knobs
If the control panel needs cleaning turn the control knobs to OFF “ ”, then pull knobs straight off the
shafts.
Most cleaning of your steel/aluminum control panel can be done using a clean cloth with warm soapy
water or other mild household cleaners.
Sometimes, applying few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning/polishing creme (with silicone) will
remove any remaining soil and will leave a protective coating wich will keep your range looking like new.
Cooktop cleaning/polishing creme can be purchased through authorized service centers or major
department stores.
Coil Surface Elements
Prior to cleaning the coil elements make sure
they are cold and that control knobs are turned
to OFF “

Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions.
PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKTOP CLEANING
DO NOT use a cooktop
cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can
be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the cooking surface.
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel
cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are not removed, they may burn onto the
surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
DAILY CLEANING
For normal soil:
Before Cleaning the sur-
face cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm,
soapy water.
3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future
heating.
DO NOT use commer-
cial oven cleaners on the exterior sur-
faces including rangetop and door frame.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap filled scrouring pad with warm water or cover heavely soiled spots with a
solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on
the spots and rub gently using a clean damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry
cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop
cleaning cream leaves a protective coating wich helps in preventing scratches and
abrasions.
For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin
cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the steps
below.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element
area with a clean damp cloth.
3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.
COOKTOP CLEANING/POLISHING CREAM can be purchased through authorized service
centers or major department stores.

DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part 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 use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may
affect 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
fine powdered ash you can whisk away with a damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning 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.
DO HAND
CLEAN
FRAME
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These areas heat
sufficiently during a self-clean 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 colour 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.

Cleaning the Appliance
(Continued)
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 colourless vapor.
Setting the Controls for a Clean Cycle
For the setting of the clean cycle, refer to the section on the timer or Electronic oven control.
To Remove and Replace the Oven Door
1. Open the door fully.
2. Pull up the lock located on both hinge supports and engage them in the hook of the hinge levers. You may have to apply a little
downward pressure on the door to pull the locks fully over the hooks.
3. Grab the door by the sides, pull the bottom of the door up and toward you to disengage the hinge supports.
Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the range to completely disengage the hinge
levers.
4. Proceed in reverse to re-install the door. Make sure the hinge supports are fully engaged before unlocking the hinge levers.

AVOID SERVICE CHECK LIST
Before you call for service - read this
You may save the cost and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call by first reviewing this easy to use Avoid-
Service Check List of the most frequently encountered situations that are not the result of defective
workmanship of materials.
You will be charged for a service call while the appliance is in warranty if the problem is not caused by defective
product workmanship or materials.
Your new appliance is a carefully engineered product. Many times, what appears to be a reason to call for
service requires nothing more than a simple adjustment you can easily make in your own home or is normal
operating characteristic of appliance under certain conditions.
This list is applicable to a variety of models; some of the items will not necessarily apply to your appliance.
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION
INSTALLATION
Range is not level.
Poor installation. See the suggested levelling instruction in the “General Informa-
tion” section of this manual. When oven is level, cooktop may not appear to be
level with countertop if the latter is not level.
Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact carpenter to
correct sagging or sloping floor.
Kitchen cabinets misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure
cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance (1.3 cm (1/2”) each
side).
RANGE DOES NOT OPERATE
Entire range does not operate. House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Check and/or replace fuse or
reset circuit breaker.
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure.
No power to range. See steps “Entire range does not operate” above.
Oven does not operate.
Oven selector control knob (some models) set between two positions. Turn
selector control knob to BAKE or BROIL, etc. and make sure surface signal lights
turn on.
Make sure the oven temperature control knob is set to the desired temperature.

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION
RANGE DOES NOT OPERATE (continued)
Surface elements do not heat. No power to range. Check steps “Entire range does not operate” above.
Control knobs set too low. At very low heat settings of the control knobs, the
surface signal light may come on; however, surface unit does not operate. Turn the
control knob to a slightly higher setting until the elements start heating.
Coil elements not seated properly in terminals. Turn temperature control knobs to
OFF. Pull out and lift up coil elements. Straighten terminals on end of coil element
if necessary. Replace elements properly into the element block.
Incorrect surface control knob turned on. Make sure the correct surface control is
on for the surface unit to be used.
The automatic lock off of the surface element is on (models with self-cleaning oven
only). During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements, when used, are subjected to
high heat. To ensure maximun element life, a safeguard locks off the use of the
surface element during the self clean cycle. Once the oven cleaning cycle is
complete and the oven door can be opened, the surface elements can be utilized.
Cancel the self clean cycle.
Oven light does not work.
Burned-out light bulb. See “Oven Lamp” in the “General Information” section.
Control panel light does not
operate (some models).
Lamp loose in sockets or burned-out. See Fluorescent Lamp in General Information
section.

tion. If this is a new range, temperatures may differ from your old range. Older
ovens may drift in temperature. You may have to adjust your favorite recipe times
and temperatures.
Use the pan size recommended in the recipe. Except when baking pies or breads,
set the oven temperature control 13°C (25°F) lower when using glass pans.
Baked foods not evenly
browned and/or raised.
A covered pan should not be used for baking, unless specified in the recipe. Foods
baked in covered pans do not brown well.
Use clean, shiny pans. Blackened pans may cause burning of bottom. Use flat
bottom pans. Warped pans may cause uneven baking.
If bottom of foods burns, raise the rack. If top of foods is too brown, lower the
rack.
Baking time too long.
Frequently opening the oven door to check doneness. Oven temperature drops
10°C ( 18°F) or more each time door is opened. Set for shortest baking time and
check baking process only at end of set time. Check baking progress through the
window if available.
Placing a very large pan or several smaller pans very close together on one rack
does not allow proper circulation of the oven air around the pans. A cookie sheet
or sheet pan should not cover the entire oven rack. Allow at least 5.1 cm (2 in.) of
space for air circulation on all sides of baking pan(s) and between pans and sides of
the oven. When two racks are used, stagger pans so one is not directly above the
other.
It will take approximately 10 minutes for the oven to reach the temperature
setting. Better results will be obtained by pre-heating the oven before placing
foods to be baked.
Oven steaming.
Moist foods may cause oven steaming. Cover the dish if appropriate for the food
being cooked.

Add 3 to 4 cups of water in the broiler pan to completely cover the bottom of the
pan. Position food on grid and broil. The water catches the grease from the
broiling food, cools the grease and reduces smoking.
Meat too close to the element. Lower the rack.
Remove excess fat from the meat. Slash remaining fat edges to prevent curling; do
not cut into lean.
Always place the grid on the broiler pan with the slots down to allow grease to drip
into the pan.
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is mandatory when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

not efficient. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned on
residue may be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber. Be
careful not to damage the oven seal.
Clean cycle too short. Put oven through an additional cycle.
Check for temporary loss of power. Reset the controls and put the oven through
another self-clean cycle.
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 ustensils 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 dolley 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.
