IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING  
YOUR OVEN  
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface  
cooking elements, areas near these units or  
elements, or interior surfaces of oven. Both  
surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot  
even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface  
cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns.  
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or  
other flammable materials touch these areas until they  
have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are  
the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent  
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door  
and oven door window.  
• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven  
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—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.  
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent  
is located under the left rear surface element if your  
model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is  
located below the backguard for models equipped with  
ceramic-glass cook tops. 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.  
• Wear proper apparel — loose-fitting or hanging  
garments should never be worn while using the  
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable  
materials contact hot surfaces.  
• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven  
racks in desired location while oven is cool. 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 heating  
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack  
beforemoving.  
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires — flour  
may be explosive. Smother the fire with a pan lid,  
or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type  
extinguisher.  
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat  
or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.  
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The  
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and  
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not  
coverthebroilerinsertwithaluminumfoil.Exposed  
fat and grease could ignite.  
• Use dry potholders — moist or damp potholders  
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.  
Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do  
not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a  
potholder.  
• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup  
of pressure may cause container to burst and  
resultininjury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
SELF-CLEANING OVENS  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING  
YOUR COOKTOP  
WARNING  
• Know whichknob controls eachsurface heating  
unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on,  
and turn the unit off before removing the pan.  
• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.  
Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.  
• 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 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 element will also improve  
efficiency.  
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts  
listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self-cleaning  
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or  
foods from the oven.  
DoNotUseOvenCleaners—Nocommercialoven  
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should  
be used in or around any part of the oven.  
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not  
extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce  
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and  
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the  
handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is  
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent  
surfaceunits.  
• 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.  
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the  
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any  
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.  
• Never leave surface elements unattended at high  
heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry  
may melt.  
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORCLEANING  
YOUR RANGE  
• Do not immerse or soak removable heating  
elements—Heatingelementsshouldneverbeimmersed  
in water. Heating elements clean themselves during  
normaloperation.  
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of  
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention  
to the area around each surface element. Do not allow  
grease to accumulate.  
Glazedcookingutensils—Onlycertaintypesofglass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed  
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking  
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the  
manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.  
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the  
manufacturer’srecommendeddirectionsforuse.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS  
Effortless™ Oven Rack system  
IMPORTANT  
Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system  
that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the  
interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food  
items. This feature works whenever the oven door is  
opened or closed.  
• Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should be  
used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other rack  
in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door  
fromfullyclosingandmay damagetheovendoor,  
oven cavity or the door connector brackets.  
To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:  
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied  
oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a  
special dark coating on the left and right rack  
sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.  
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely  
coolbeforeproceeding.  
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see  
previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack  
connector brackets are at the rear of the range and  
pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).  
If the rack system is not assembled with the connector  
arms the Effortless™ Oven rack may be used in oven  
rack positions 2 thru 7. Do not attempt to use the  
Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS  
About the ceramic glass cooktop  
The design pattern on the ceramic cooktop outlines the  
area and size of the surface element located just below the  
ceramic glass cooktop. Be sure to match the pan size with  
the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and use  
onlyqualityflat-bottomedcookware.  
The element on indicator lights are located on the  
control panel above each radiant element control knob and  
will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick  
glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check  
to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The hot  
surface indicator light located on the control panel will  
glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will  
remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a  
MODERATElevel.  
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface  
elements in use and their settings are all factors that will  
affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond  
the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements  
may become hot enough to cause burns.  
NOTES  
About the radiant surface elements  
When first turned on, the element temperature rises  
gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element  
will glow red. To maintain the selected power setting it is  
normal for the element to cycle ON and OFF. The element  
will retain enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent  
heat during the off cycle.  
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element  
to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps  
to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at  
the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the  
cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the  
cookware bottom is not flat.  
• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic  
glass cooktop care in the Care & Cleaning and Before  
You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Manual.  
For efficient cooking, turn the surface element OFF several  
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual  
heat to complete the cooking process.  
Types of cooktop elements  
The patterns provided on the ceramic glass surface outlines  
the size, shape and type of element available at each  
position on the cooktop. The single radiant element will  
have a single round outline pattern.  
Element on & hot surface indicator lights  
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of  
radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the  
backguard — the element on indicator lights and the hot  
surface indicator light (See Fig. 1).  
The versatile dual radiant element (some models) will have  
a dual ring pattern marked on the cooktop. This element  
allows the user to set the smaller inner portion only or both  
the inner and outer portions may be set to heat together.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS  
Using proper cookware  
The size and type of cookware used will influence the  
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow  
the recommendations for using proper cookware as  
illustrated.  
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact  
with the entire surface element (See Fig. 1). Check for  
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the  
cookware (Fig. 2). For additional information about the  
ceramiccooktopsee"CooktopCleaning"and"Cooktop  
Maintenance" in theCare & Cleaning section.

IMPORTANT  
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel  
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting  
point of some cookware types may be reached if left  
empty on the cooktop while heating. If the cookware  
melts it could bond to and damage the cooktop! Be sure  
to follow all the cookware manufacturer’s suggestions  
when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Keep warm zone (some models)  
The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked  
foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature  
to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies,  
casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe  
dinnerplates.  
Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone  
recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a  
particular food is not listed, start with the medium level,  
and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving  
temperatures by using the medium level.  
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat  
cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the  
warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain  
quality.

Home canning  
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when  
home canning using your appliance.  
CAUTION  
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled  
after they have been turned off. The glass surface  
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass  
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.  
IMPORTANT  
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different  
surface cooking areas at the same time. This may cause  
the ceramic cooktop to fracture.  
• Do not place flammable itemssuch as plastic salt  
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic  
wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These  
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or  
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to  
the surface elements.  
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.  
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom. Be sure the  
cookware has no ridges that radiate from the bottom  
center when home canning using a ceramic cooktop.  
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more  
quickly.  
IMPORTANT  
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water  
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest  
possible setting to maintain that boil.  
Donotallowaluminumfoil,orANYmaterialthatcan

If these items melt on the cooktop they can damage the  
ceramiccooktop.  
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not  
exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element  
markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller  
diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass  
cooktops.  
When using two canners at the same time, stagger the  
canners on the left and right sides of the cooktop. This  
will help distribute the heat generated more evenly.  
Be sure to review the latest online information for home  
canning. Some suggestions might be the U.S. Department  
of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service or the  
National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP).

How quick bake works  
Quick bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat  
uniformlyandcontinuouslyaroundtheoven. Thisimproved  
heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning  
results. It also gives better baking results when using two  
racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in  
juices and flavors. Meats cooked with quick bake are  
juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender  
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more  
evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked  
faster and more evenly with quick bake.

increase cook time until the desired doneness is  
obtained.

† The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, "Rare fresh  
beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to  
only 140°F/60°C means some food poisoning organisms  
may survive."(Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen  
Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature  
recommended by the USDA is 145°F/63°C for medium  
rare fresh beef.  
• Do not use the probe without the probe properly  
inserted into the probe receptacle and the food. To  
protect the probe when inserted in the receptacle, the

Probe error message:  
Should the oven control display the error message "PErr",  
it may be that the probe connector is not fully inserted into  
the probe receptacle (see Fig. 1) or that the probe has  
overheated. When this message displays, the control will  
not allow any oven feature to activate until corrected.  
Fig. 2  
Remove the probe from the receptacle, then reconnect  
probe into the receptacle (check that it is fully inserted  
into the receptacle). Be sure the probe sensor is covered by  
food and not exposed to avoid overheating.  
If the probe is properly connected into the receptacle and  
properly positioned into the food but the error message  
remains displayed, the probe might be defective and need

SELF-CLEANING  
Self-clean  
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself using high temperatures  
that are well above normal cooking temperatures. The  
clean feature, if used properly, will eliminate soils from the  
oven completely or reduce them to a fine powdered ash.  
Once the oven has cooled, simply wipe away the ash using

Read before starting self-clean  
Remove all items from the oven and cooktop,  
including food, cookware, utensils, plastic and any  
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high  
temperatures generated during a self-clean cycle.  
a damp cloth.  
The self-clean feature also provides optional cleaning  
duration choices. A 3-hour cleaning time for normal  
cleaning or a 2-hour clean for lighter soils.  
Remove all oven racks and any accessories from  
the oven to avoid possible heat damage. If the oven  
racks are not removed they may discolor. The  
Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) must be  
removed before starting self-clean to avoid damaging  
the glide ability of the rack.  
WARNING  
• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.  
Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.  
Be sure the oven vent area is clear.  
Remove all items from the lower storage drawer  
(some models) or warming drawer (some models).  
CAUTION  
Be sure the oven light shield is in place. Turn off the  
oven light.  
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the  
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any  
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.  
• Remove any excessive spillovers. Spills on the  
oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before  
starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water  
and a cloth. Large food spillovers can cause heavy  
smoke or a fire during self-clean.  
Remove any food spills from oven that have a high  
sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,  
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) before starting a  
self-clean cycle. If they are not removed they may  
leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.  
Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door  
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area  
at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean using  
soap and water before starting self-clean. These areas  
(See Fig. 1) heat sufficiently to burn soil on.

Cooktop cleaning  
IMPORTANT  
WARNING  
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to  
maintainingyourceramicglasscooktop.  
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you  
use an abrasive cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products  
thathavebeenspecificallydesignedforcooktops.  
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.  
The fumes can be hazardous to your health and  
can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.  
CAUTION  
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of  
the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new  
appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch  
cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled  
from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a  
protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and  
abrasions.  
To avoid possible burns, be sure the surface controls are  
turned OFF and the cooktop is cool before cleaning  
the cooktop.  
For light to moderate soil- Apply a few drops of glass-  
ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a  
paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch  
cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure  
thecooktopiscleanedthoroughly, leavingnoresidue.  
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the  
cooktop can leave metal markings on the surface. These  
marksshouldberemovedimmediatelyafterthecooktop  
has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks  
can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.  
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or  
dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.  
For heavy, burned on soil- Apply a few drops of glass-  
ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the  
soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch  
cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the  
pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.  
To maintain the cooktop appearance :  
• Never slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop  
surface.  
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor  
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the  
surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning  
cream and buff surface clean.  
• DO NOT use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on  
bottoms. Replace with clean flat bottom cookware before  
usingonthecooktop.  
• Never use the ceramic cooktop as a cutting board or  
work surface in the kitchen.  
• Never cook foods directly on the cooktop surface.  
30°  
• DO NOT drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass  
cooktop, this may cause it to crack.  
Removing plastic or foods with a high sugar content:  
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled  
or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent  
damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur  
if not removed immediately. After turning the surface  
elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula  
with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as  
illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same  
method for heavy or burned on soils.
