RANGE SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.
wDANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.
wWARNING
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to
the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
wWARNING
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.
See the installation instructions for details.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns
to children and adults.
Anti-Tip Bracket
Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:
Slide range forward.
•
Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.
•
Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

RANGE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using
the range, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
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.
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
•
•
•
•
•
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating
the Room.
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 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.
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.
•
•
•
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using
the range.
•
•
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.
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.
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven or
near surface units.
•
•
•
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.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother
fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
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 Soak Removable Heating Elements –
Heating elements should never be immersed
in water.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop
For self-cleaning ranges –
•
•
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
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.
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.
Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
•
•
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler
pan and other utensils.
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
•
•
For units with ventilating hood –
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on hood
or filter.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers –
Build-up of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
•
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
•
•
•
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.
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.

(Coil element model)
The type of material the canner is made of deter-
mines the length of heating time. Refer to the
“Characteristics of cookware materials” chart later
in this section for more information.
Most water-bath or pressure canners have large
diameters. If you do canning with them at high
heat settings for long periods of time, you can
shorten the life of regular coil elements. This can
also damage the cooktop. If you plan to use the
cooktop for canning, we recommend the
installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part
No. 242905) from your dealer or designated
service company.
When canning for long periods of time, allow
elements and the surrounding surfaces to cool
down.

Cookware tips
Select a pan that is about the same size as the
surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend
more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) outside the area.
Check for rough spots on the bottom of metal or
glass cookware which will scratch the ceramic
glass surface.
•
•
•
For best results and greater energy
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware that
makes good contact with the surface cooking area.
Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed (such as
some porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms
could cause uneven heating and poor cooking
results.
Use flat bottom cookware for best heat
conduction from the surface cooking area to the
cookware. Determine flatness with the ruler test.
Place the edge of a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware. Hold it up to the light. No light should be
visible under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all
directions and look for any light.
•
Cookware designed with slightly indented bot-
toms or small expansion channels can be used.
Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which
has boiled dry, on a hot surface cooking area. The
cookware could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or the surface cooking area.
•
•
•
Cookware with a non-stick finish has heating
characteristics of the base material.
CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
Aluminum
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Heats slowly and evenly.
Cast iron
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
• Heats slowly and unevenly.
• Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Ceramic or
ceramic glass
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
Copper
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Earthenware
• See cast iron and stainless steel.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or
enamel-on-cast iron
• Heats quickly but unevenly.
Stainless steel
•
A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides
even heating.

spatter and smoke.
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.
To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
the grid with foil.
•
For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan
with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as
soon as possible after each use.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat
on the edges to prevent curling.

Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.

Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.
BEFORE YOU START
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:

Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door
and frame.
•
Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.
•
Hand-clean
door around
edge
Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
•
Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as
•
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar
is heated to a high temperature in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause
the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain.
This can cause staining and etching, pitting, or
faint white spots.
TIPS:
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors,
and smoke.
•
Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
•
them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will
become harder to slide. (See the “Cleaning chart”
in the “Caring for Your Range” section.) If you
clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual.
Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.
•
•
•
•
Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
may melt.
Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
•
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated
by opening a window or by turning on a vent
hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
Remove any combustible items, such as paper
napkins, from the storage drawer. This includes
utensils with plastic handles that can become over-
heated and melt.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Move birds to another
closed and well ventilated room.
Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.

HOW THE CYCLE WORKS
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to
burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the
oven gets much hotter than it does for normal

soil or grease and burns it away.
Your oven is automatically preset for a 31⁄2-hour

catch spills. When they are kept clean, they
reflect heat better and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl changes color, some of your
cookware may not be flat enough, or some may be
too large for the coil element. In either case, some
of the heat that’s meant to go into or around cook-
ware goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This
