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, 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

ꢀ 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 flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
Ceramic Glass Use
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
WARNING
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass (on some
models) to appear to change color when surface cooking areas
are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more
information, see “General Cleaning” section.
Fire Hazard
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
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.
Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a
setting. The controls can be set 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
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.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

ꢀ
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.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.
ꢀ
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
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.
HOT Surface Indicator Lights

Oven Vent
Custom Broil
The broil element operates at full power when heating. Use this
setting for normal broiling and top browning.
ꢀ
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and
smoke.
ꢀ
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
A
ꢀ
ꢀ
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
A. Oven vent (above door)
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered, because it
allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking
or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting
cooking and cleaning results.
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.
ꢀ
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Bake
The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top
and bottom elements cycle on and off accordingly during preheat
and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal
cooking results.
To Broil:
Before broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in,
unless it is recommended in the recipe. Close the door.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless it is recommended in the recipe.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the display until the
oven is turned off.
1. Press BAKE.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter
a temperature other than 350°F (175°C). Press the “up” or
“down” pads (buttons) to raise or lower the temperature in
5°F/5°C increments.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
To Change Broil Temperature:
When custom broiling, changing the temperature allows more
precise control. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
2. Press START.
A preheat time will count down, and “PrE” will appear on the
display. The oven control automatically sets preheating times
based on the oven temperature you select.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL. “500°F” will appear in the display.
When the actual oven temperature is reached, the set
temperature will replace “PrE” on the display.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter
a temperature other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can
be set between 300°F (150°C) and 525°F (275°C). “HI” will
appear instead of 525°F (275°C).
When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.
3. Press OFF or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
The temperature can be changed anytime after pressing START.

Preheating
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.

BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual foods and tastes. It is recommended that food be
turned approximately two-thirds of the way through the total
cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to determine the
doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature in 2 or
3 places.
Convection Cooking
(on some models)
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1)
to the top (4). Do not use position 5. For diagram, see the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C) and cooking time can be shortened
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.

How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, however
the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours
30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to
4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES
(on some models)
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in
the glass breaking.
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.
