To Operate the Surface Element
Setting Surface
Controls for Models
with Coil Elements
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be
set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the
control knob as needed.
3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing
the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking
is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off.
Surface Unit Control
To Operate Simmer Select Surface Unit (If equipped)
The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select unit as
you would any normal surface unit on the medium to high settings.
The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select feature.
This feature allows the element to heat at a much lower temperature than
when used as a normal surface unit. This allows you to precisely simmer
delicate foods.
You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at any time during
the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob indicator between MAX and MIN
for simmering or between MED and HI for normal cooking.
Simmer Select Surface Unit Control
NOTE: The unit will not operate if the knob is positioned in the space between
MAX and MED.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in
medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range 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 element.

Oven Vent Location
Before Setting Oven
Controls
For models equipped with coil surface elements, the oven vent is located under
the left rear surface element. For models equipped with a ceramic-glass cook
top the oven vent is located below the backguard. When the oven is on, warm
air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
REMOVING & REPLACING OVEN RACKS
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front
of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
ARRANGING OVEN RACKS WITH 5 RACK POSITIONS
To bake on 1 rack, place the rack on position 3 or 4. To bake on 2 racks, place
the racks on positions 2 and 4. Convection ranges are equipped with 3 racks
and should be placed in positions 1, 3 and 4.

Self-Cleaning Oven
Oven Control Styles 1
or 2 - Self Cleaning
Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered
ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
•
•
Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue
after the self-clean cycle.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or remove the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near
the appliance.
•
•
The health of some birds
isextremelysensitivetothefumesgiven
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
•
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.
These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part
of the range with aluminum foil. Doing
so will destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).
3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through
the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or
salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO
NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as
they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after
the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range
Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and
the range is cool. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible.
Regular cleanings will reduce the effort required for major cleanings later.

Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40
minutes. Rinse. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping
the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Cleaners made
especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic
American Corp., or similar products are recommended. Always follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may
occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after cleaning,
line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into
place.

and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on
the cooktop.
Oven Racks
Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for
cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue
and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven
has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into
the rack positions).
Oven Door
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT
immerse the door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
General Cleaning - Coil
Element Models
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip
pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on.
Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may
be cleaned with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn off the next time
the element is used.
Be sure the range is cool
beforeremovingelementsordripbowls.
Be careful not to bend terminal ends
whenreplacingelementsaftercleaning.
Never immerse a surface element in water.
To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Liftthesurface
element and drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal
end out from the terminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold
down clip from the drip bowl.
To Clean Drip Bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm.
Hard to remove, burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for
about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia
and water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be
used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will
scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft
cloth.
To Replace Drip Bowls and Surface Elements
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip
bowl.
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your
drip bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support
opposite the terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip, and snap into
place.
3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end
with the terminal plug as shown.
4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level as possible and
firmly push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element
terminal is seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface
element is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.
When lowering the lift-
up range top, grasp the sides with
finger-tips only. Be careful not to pinch
fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the
range top when raising or lowering.
This could damage the surface.
To Raise the Top for Cleaning
1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in
its raised position. Only lift the top high enough to allow the support rods
to snap into place.
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.
3. To lower the top, gently push back on each rod to release the notched
support. Hold the range top and slide the range top down into the range
frame.
