IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,  
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface  
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in  
the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result  
in a risk of electric shock, or fire.  
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow  
basic precautions, including the following:  
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF  
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY  
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK  
IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE  
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET  
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND  
SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS  
UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.  
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed  
utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking  
due to the sudden change in temperature.  
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 a  
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and  
does not extend over adjacent surface units.  
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in  
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range –  
children climbing on the range to reach items could be  
seriously injured.  
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating  
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly installed  
elements should never be immersed in water.  
and grounded by a qualified technician.  
Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should  
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the  
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact  
a qualified technician immediately.  
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.  
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left  
alone or unattended in area where the range is in use.  
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of  
the range.  
Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is  
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to  
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments  
should never be worn while using the range.  
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.  
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the  
range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All  
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of  
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.  
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should  
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.  
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.  
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame  
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in  
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved  
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating  
element in oven.  
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on  
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let  
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel  
or other bulky cloth.  
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR  
SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even  
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven  
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,  
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials  
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until  
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the  
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among  
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near  
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.  
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR  
UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are  
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot  
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,  
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface  
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time  
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces  
facing the cooktop.  
For self-cleaning ranges –  
Use Proper Pan Size – The range 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.  
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.  
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.  
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat  
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers  
that may ignite.  
Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.  
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and  
other utensils.  
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.  
For units with ventilating hood –  
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not  
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.  
When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and  
cooktop use.  
Dual Size Element  
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming  
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture  
to escape.  
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use plastic wrap to  
cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.  
A
B
Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.  
A. Single size  
B. Dual size  
The dual size elements offer flexibility to cook using different  
sizes of cookware. The single element can be used in the same  
way as a regular element. The dual element combines both the  
inner and outer elements and is recommended for larger  
cookware.  
To Use:  
1. To turn on, press WARM ZONE and then PRESETS.  
2. To turn off, press WARM ZONE.  
Ceramic Glass  
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It  
may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.  
B
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to  
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As  
the glass cools, it will return to its original color.  
A
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep  
it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On  
cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may  
be more visible, and may require more cleaning and attention.  
Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For  
more information, see “General Cleaning” section.  
A. Dual element control - left side  
B. Single element control - right side  
To Use Single Element:  
1. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise from the  
OFF position to the Single zone anywhere between HI and  
LO.  
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a  
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the  
cooktop.  
2. Push in and turn knob to OFF when finished.  
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the  
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped  
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could  
break when the lid is removed.  
To Use Dual Element:  
1. Push in and turn the control knob clockwise from the OFF  
position to the Dual zone anywhere between HI and LO.  
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and  
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down  
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills  
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills  
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop  
and can cause pitting and permanent marks.  
2. Push in and turn knob to OFF when finished.  
Warm Zone  
WARNING  
Food Poisoning Hazard  
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware  
across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough  
finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or  
marks on the cooktop.  
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or  
after cooking.  
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers  
on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that  
cannot be removed completely.  
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.  
Use the Warm Zone element to keep cooked foods warm.  
One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food  
quality.  
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that  
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part  
of the entire cooktop.  
Do not use it to heat cold foods.  
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a  
cutting board.  
The Warm Zone element can be used alone or when any of the  
other surface cooking areas are being used.  
The Warm Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on.  
However, the Element On light will glow while the Warm Zone  
element is in use. The Hot Surface light will glow as long as the  
Warm Zone element area is too hot to touch.

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking  
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm)  
outside the area.  
Cookware  
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
cooking area, element or surface burner.  
B
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a  
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy  
thickness.  
A
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and  
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,  
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the  
cooktop or grates.  
C
A. Surface cooking area  
B. Cookware/canner  
C. ½" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang  
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is  
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has  
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,  
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the  
properties of aluminum.  
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and  
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or  
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor  
cooking results.  
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the  
broiler.  
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material  
characteristics.  
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler  
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,  
no space or light should be visible between it and the  
cookware.

oven, making cleaning more difficult.  
temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly  
shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower  
broiling temperatures.  
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.  
Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center  
of the oven rack. Close the door to the broil stop position (about  
4" [10.0 cm]) to ensure proper broiling temperature.  
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some  
models). It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter  
and smoke.  
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be  
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for  
Part Number 4396923.  
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The  
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier  
cleaning.  
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on  
the edges to avoid curling.  
To Broil:  
Select HI broil for most broiling. Select LO broil for low-  
temperature broiling of longer cooking foods such a poultry  
to avoid overbrowning.  
1. Open door to broil stop position.  
2. Press upper or lower oven BROIL. “BROIL,” “UPPER” or  
“LOWER” and “SET” will appear in the display.  
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing  
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very  
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.  
3. Press PRESETS once for HI broil or twice for LO broil. “HI” or  
“LO” will be displayed.  
After 4 seconds the oven will start. “BROIL” and “HI” or “LO”  
will remain in the display.  
4. Press CANCEL when finished.  
BROILING CHART  
Broil times are based on a 4-minute preheat. For best results, place food 3" (7.0 cm) or more from the broil element. Times are  
guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes. Turn meat halfway through cooking time. Recommended rack  
positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

RANGE CARE  
Self-Cleaning Cycle  
Prepare Oven:  
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,  
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.  
WARNING  
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.  
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.  
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,  
damaging the oven.  
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area  
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to  
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough  
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,  
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this  
area.  
Burn Hazard  
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Keep children away from oven during  
Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.  
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.  
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,  
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not  
affect cooking performance.  
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to  
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to  
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds  
to another closed and well-ventilated room.  
Prepare Cooktop:  
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may  
melt.  
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil  
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.  
IMPORTANT:  
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to  
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.  
Oven temperature must be below 400°F (205°C) to program a  
clean cycle.  
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air  
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see  
“Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.  
Only 1 oven can be cleaned at a time.  
Both oven doors lock when either oven is being cleaned.  
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The  
door gasket is essential for a good seal.
