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, 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.

On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.  
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls  
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit  
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil  
element will be shortened. See Assistance or Servicefor  
instructions on how to order.  
(on some models)  
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner  
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also  
help catch spills.  
For more information, contact your local agricultural  
department. Companies that manufacture home canning  
products can also offer assistance.  
Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) over the coil  
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce  
excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color. For more  
information, see the General Cleaningsection.  
Cookware  
NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner  
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the  
Off position.  
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
cooking area, element or surface burner.  
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a  
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy  
thickness.  
To Remove:  
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then  
lift it enough to clear the burner bowl.  
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.  
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.  
2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.  
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the  
broiler.  
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material  
characteristics.

Home Canning  
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface  
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.  
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.  
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking  
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not  
extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking  
area or element.  
Stainless steel  
Heats quickly, but unevenly.  
A core or base of aluminum or copper  
on stainless steel provides even  
heating.  
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or  
surface burners at the same time.

RANGE CARE  
Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models)  
Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer:  
WARNING  
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may  
melt.  
Remove all items from the storage drawer.  
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.  
Burn Hazard  
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil  
to a powdery ash.  
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Keep children away from oven during  
Self-Cleaning cycle.  
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but 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.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.  
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 cooled completely could result in  
the glass breaking.  
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.  
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil  
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.  
To Self-Clean:  
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to  
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.  
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely  
or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. DOOR  
LOCKED/CLEANING light will flash until the door is closed.  
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air  
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see
