• Do not leave children alone—children should  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
not be left alone or unattended in an area where an  
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed  
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.  
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic  
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of  
California to publish a list of substances known to  
the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive  
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers  
of potential exposure to such substances.  
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens  
gives off a very small amount of carbon  
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure  
can be minimized by venting with an open  
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.  
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO  
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN  
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE  
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN  
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH  
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.  
Teach children not to play with the controls  
or any other part of the range.  
• Never leave the oven door open when you are

• Use this appliance only for its intended use  
as described in this guide.  
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and  
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance  
with the provided Installation Instructions.  
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang  
on the door, drawer or cooktop. They could  
damage the range and even tip it over, causing  
severe personal injury.  
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of  
your range unless it is specifically recommended  
in this guide. All other servicing should be referred  
to a qualified technician.  
• Have the installer show you the location of the  
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.  
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT  
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE  
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY  
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF  
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.  
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments  
while using the appliance. Be careful when  
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the  
range. Flammable material could be ignited if  
brought in contact with hot surface units or  
heating elements and may cause severe burns.  
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or  
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may  
result in burns from steam. Do not let  
pot holders touch hot surface units or heating  
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.  
Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit or  
heating element.  
WARNING—All ranges  
can tip and injury could result. To  
prevent accidental tipping of the  
range, attach it to the wall and floor by  
installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.  
To check if the device is installed and  
engaged properly, remove the storage  
drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg.  
Make sure it fits securely into the slot.  
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot  
holders and other linens a safe distance from  
your range.  
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils  
and canned food a safe distance away from  
your range.  
(continued next page)  
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason,  
make sure the device is properly engaged when you  
push the range back against the wall. If it is not,  
there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and  
causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on  
an open door.

• Stand away from the range when opening the  
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can  
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.  
• Do not heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container  
could burst, causing an injury.  
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.  
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.  
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position  
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be  
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact  
the heating elements.  
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE  
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER  
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS  
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY  
OTHER APPLIANCE.  
• Keep hood and grease filters clean to maintain  
good venting and to avoid grease fires.  
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the range.  
• Do not use water on grease fires.

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.  
If overheated, they can catch on fire.  
• Do not use oven for a storage area.  
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely  
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off  
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-  
type fire extinguisher.  
Items stored in an oven can ignite.  
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils  
or food in the oven when not in use.  
• Do not touch the surface units, the heating  
elements or the interior surface of the oven.  
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even  
though they are dark in color. During and after use,  
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable  
materials contact the surface units, areas nearby  
the surface units or any interior area of the oven;  
allow sufficient time for cooling first.  
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of  
the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler  
pan can catch on fire the next time you use the pan.  
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on  
or near your range.  
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and  
Care Guide.  
• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,  
except as suggested in this guide. Improper  
installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk  
of electric shock or fire.  
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and  
areas facing the cooktop, the oven vent opening  
and surfaces near the opening, crevices around the  
oven door, the edges of the door window and  
metal trim parts above the door.  
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may

be hot when the door is opened.  
• Do not clean the oven 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.  
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside  
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.  
• When cooking pork, follow the directions  
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal  
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in  
the remote possibility that trichina may be present  
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be  
safe to eat.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler  
pan, grid and other cookware.  
• Do not stand on the glass cooktop. The weight  
may cause the top to break.  
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before  
starting the self-cleaning operation.  
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn  
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.  
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.  
• Be careful when placing spoons or other  
stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface  
when it is in use. They may become hot and  
could cause burns.  
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of  
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a  
container should be turned toward the center of the  
range without extending over nearby surface units.

temperatures.  
unit heating element. The use of undersized  
cookware will expose a portion of the heating  
element to direct contact and may result in ignition  
of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to  
surface units will also improve efficiency.  
• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn  
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the  
flame.  
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge  
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit,  
be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can  
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
When the cooktop is cool, use only Cook Top  
Cleaning Creme brand cleaner to clean the cooktop.  
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.  
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods  
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides  
of the pan.  
• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat  
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause  
spillovers when food is added.  
• Use care when touching the cooktop.  
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat  
after the controls have been turned off.  
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in  
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats  
melt slowly.  
• Never leave the surface units unattended at  
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and  
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.  
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
• Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may  
damage the cooktop and the pan.  
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the  
smoking point.  
• Do not allow water, other liquids or grease to  
remain on the cooktop or the control panel.  
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a  
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.  
• Do not operate the radiant surface units if  
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning  
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and  
create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a  
qualified technician immediately should your  
glass cooktop become broken.  
To avoid possible damage to the cooking  
surface, do not apply Cook Top Cleaning Creme  
to the glass surface when it is hot.  
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to  
remove all Cook Top Cleaning Creme residue.  
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface. The  
cooktop can be scratched with items such as  
sharp instruments, or rings or other jewelry and  
rivets on clothing.  
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings  
on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.  
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a  
cutting board.  
SAVE THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS  
• Do not place or store items on top of the glass  
cooktop surface when it is not in use.

PREPARATION  
Flooring Under the Range  
Leveling the Range  
Your range, like many other household items,  
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings  
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving  
the range on this type of flooring, it should be  
installed on a 1/4-inch-thick sheet of plywood (or  
similar material) as follows: When the floor covering  
ends at the front of the range, the area that the range  
will rest on should be built up with plywood to the  
same level or higher than the floor covering. This will  
allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.  
Leveling screws are located on each corner of the  
base of the range. Remove the bottom drawer and you  
can level the range on an uneven floor with the use of  
a nutdriver.  
To remove drawer, pull the drawer out all the way,  
tilt up the front and take it out. To replace drawer,  
insert the glides at the back of the drawer beyond stop  
on the range glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to  
insert easily. Let the front of the drawer down, then  
push in to close.  
One of the rear leveling screws will engage the Anti-  
Tip device (allow for some side to side adjustment).  
Allow a minimum clearance of 1/8between the  
range and the leveling screw that is to be installed into  
the Anti-Tip device.  
HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE  
WITH YOUR OLD ONE?  
Your new cooktop has a radiant glass ceramic cooktop.  
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and  
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or  
surface unit you have.  
If you are used to cooking with gas burners or electric  
surface units, you will notice some differences when  
you use the radiant cooktop.  
The following chart will help you to understand the  
differences between radiant cooktops and any other  
type of cooktop you may have used in the past.  
Type of Cooktop  
Description  
How It Works  
Radiant  
(Glass Ceramic)  
Cooktop  
Electric coils  
under a glass-  
ceramic cooktop.  
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on  
the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to  
continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if  
you want cooking to stop.  
Induction  
High frequency  
induction coils  
under a glass  
surface.  
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is  
produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away  
and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control  
off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.  
Electric Coil  
Flattened metal  
tubing containing  
electric resistance  
wire suspended  
over a drip pan.  
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best  
cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of  
warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change  
heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to  
continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.  
Solid Disk  
Solid cast iron  
disk sealed to the  
cooktop surface.  
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good  
cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The  
disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan  
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.  
Gas Burners  
Regular or sealed  
gas burners use  
either LP gas  
Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but  
pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change  
heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.  
or natural gas.

General Information About Radiant Surface Units  
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a  
smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by  
outlines on the glass.  
Use only flat-bottomed cookware. Do not let pots boil  
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktop. An  
overheated copper pot may leave a residue that will  
permanently stain the glass.  
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean  
it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top  
and makes clean-up easier.  
Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may  
leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear as  
small scratches. They can be removed with cleaning  
cream and a razor scraper.  
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop  
is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of  
new parts and insulating materials and will disappear  
in a short time.  
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface  
on the glass surface when the surface is cool.  
When a surface unit is turned on, coils beneath the  
surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the  
cookware. The red glow of the coils will be visible  
through the glass. It will take the surface unit a few  
moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to  
maintain your selected control setting. With poor  
cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit  
off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize  
the cycling.  
Avoid sliding pans on the glass cooktop. Pan edges  
that are even slightly rough or grit on the cooktop can  
cause scratches on the glass.  
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass  
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To  
avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units  
when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the  
surface unit until it has cooled completely.  
The Hot Surface Light will glow when the cooktop is  
hot to the touch. It is not unusual for the lights to stay  
lit for 30 minutes.  
Hot Surface Indicator Light  
A “HOT SURFACE” light will glow brightly when  
any radiant element is hot to the touch, and will  
remain lit after the unit is turned off until the surface  
is cool enough to touch.

SURFACE CONTROLS  
At both OFF and HI positions, there is a slight niche  
Switching to higher heat settings always shows a  
quicker heat change than switching to lower settings.  
so control “clicks” at those positions; the word HI  
marks the highest setting; the lowest setting is the  
word LO. In a quiet kitchen you may hear slight  
“clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the heat  
settings selected are being maintained.  
How to Set the Controls  
1. Push the control knob in.  
The control must be pushed in to set only from the  
OFF position. When the control is in any position  
other than OFF, it may be turned without pushing  
it in.  
2. Turn either clockwise or  
counterclockwise to the  
desired heat setting.  
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you  
finish cooking.  
The left surface unit indicator light will glow when  
either the left front or rear surface units are on.  
The right surface unit indicator light will glow when  
either the right front or rear surface units are on.  
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings  
HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to a boil.  
OFF  
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and  
MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on  
large amounts of food.  
LO  
HI  
MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on  
large amounts of food.  
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and  
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water  
in covered pan.  
Medium  
Low  
Medium  
High  
MED  
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving  
temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and  
simmering. At LO settings, melt chocolate and butter  
on small surface unit.  
NOTE:  
At HI, Medium High settings, never leave food  
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy  
spillovers may catch on fire.  
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number  
of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units  
turned on, surface temperatures are high so be  
careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface  
indicator light will remain lit after the surface units  
are off until the surface is cool enough to touch.  
When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be  
seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red  
glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the  
selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will  
see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good,  
flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the  
Surface Cookware Tips section.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS  
Types of Cookware  
The following information will help you choose  
cookware which will give good performance.  
Copper Bottom:  
Good performance, but copper may leave a residue  
which can appear as scratches. The residue can be  
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned  
immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry.  
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.  
An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that  
will permanently stain the cooktop.  
Stainless Steel: highly recommended  
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The  
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless  
steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the  
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,  
even heat distribution).  
Glass-ceramic: usable, not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch surface.  
Aluminum: heavy weight recommended  
Good conductivity. Aluminum residue sometimes  
appears as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed  
if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting  
point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.  
Stoneware: usable, not recommended  
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.  
Cast Iron: usable, not recommended  
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.  
Porcelain/enamel:  
Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth  
bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and  
fuse to the surface.  
How to Check Pan Performance  
Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking  
performance and cleaning of your cooktop.  
The correct cookware reduces the temperature of  
the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of  
spillovers burning onto the cooktop.  
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms  
are not recommended.  
You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.  
Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or  
may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of  
your pans you may do this quick test.  
Another simple test to determine even heat distribution  
across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water  
in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the  
location of bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good  
flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles  
over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles  
localized in only a portion of the bottom indicate  
uneven contact of the pan to the surface unit, uneven  
heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.  
Turn your pan upside  
down on the countertop,  
place a ruler flat against  
the pan surface. The  
bottom of the pan and the  
straight edge of the ruler  
should fit flush against each other all the way across.  
Turn the ruler a full 360 degrees, checking for any  
space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.  
Use pans that match the diameter of the surface unit.  
Cooking performance will not be as good if the

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS  
(continued)  
SPECIAL CAUTIONS FOR GLASS COOKTOPS  
• Never cook directly on the  
glass. Always use cookware.  
• Do not use the surface as a  
cutting board.  
SURFACE  
COOKING  
CUTTING  
• Always place the pan in the  
center of the surface unit you  
are cooking on.  
• Do not slide cookware across  
the cooktop because it can  
scratch the glass—the glass is  
scratch resistant, not scratch  
proof.  
OFF CENTER  
DRAGGING  
• Don’t store heavy items above  
the cooktop. If they drop onto  
the cooktop, they can cause  
damage.  
DROPPING  
Deep Fat Frying  
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.  
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.  
Keep the range and hood clean from grease.

HOME CANNING TIPS  
Canning should be done on the cooktop only.  
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER  
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS  
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER  
THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and  
all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher  
than boiling water. Such temperatures could  
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit  
circle are not recommended for most surface cooking.  
However, when canning with water-bath or pressure  
canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is  
because boiling water temperatures (even under  
pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces  
surrounding the surface units.  
eventually harm the glass cooktop surfaces.  
Observe the Following Points in Canning  
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the  
surface unit. If your cooktop or its location does not  
allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,  
use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.  
CAUTION:  
Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms  
are destroyed and that the jars are sealed  
completely. When canning foods in a water-bath  
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained  
for the required time. When canning foods in a  
pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained  
for the required time.  
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use  
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often  
found in enamelware) because they don’t make  
enough contact with the surface units and take  
too long to boil water.  
After you have adjusted the controls, it is very  
important to make sure the prescribed boil or  
pressure levels are maintained for the required time.  
The cooktop surface units have temperature  
limiters that prevent the glass cooktop from  
getting too hot. If the bottom of your canner is  
not flat, the surface unit can overheat, triggering  
the temperature limiters to turn the unit off for  
a time. This will stop the boil or reduce the  
pressure in the canner.  
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.  
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from  
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures  
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;  
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as  
Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of  
Agriculture Extension Service.  
Since you must make sure to process the  
canning jars for the prescribed time, with no  
interruption in processing time, you do not  
can on any of the cooktop surface units if your  
canner is not flat enough.  
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates  
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam  
or heat, be careful when canning.  
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may  
take longer than expected, even though directions  
have been carefully followed. The process time will  
be shortened by:  
(1) using a pressure canner, and  
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating  
of large quantities of water.

SURFACE CLEANING  
Glass Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning  
Cleaning of glass ceramic cooktops is different from  
cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and  
protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop  
follow these basic steps.  
DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top  
Cleaning Creme on Glass Ceramic.  
Special Care:  
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy  
syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the  
surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty)  
unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special  
care should be taken when removing hot  
substances. Follow these instructions carefully and  
remove the soil while the spill is still hot.  
For normal, light soil:  
1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of Cook Top  
Cleaning Creme onto the soiled area using a damp  
paper towel. Wipe until all soil and creme are  
removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective  
coating which is essential in preventing scratches  
and abrasions.  
1. Turn off all the surface units affected by the  
spillover. Remove hot pans.  
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor  
scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop  
and scrape the hot spill to a cool area  
outside the surface unit.  
2. Clean the surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme  
after each use.  
For heavy, burned on soil:  
3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to  
remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should  
be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.  
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all  
of the spillover has been removed. Follow the steps  
under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.  
1. Apply a few drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme  
to the (cool) soiled area.  
2. Using a damp paper towel, rub creme into the  
burned on area. As with any burned on spill,  
this may require some effort.  
3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with the razor  
scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle against  
the ceramic surface.  
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.  
For additional protection, after all soil has been  
removed, polish the entire surface with the Cook  
Top Cleaning Creme.  
General Information:  
As the Cook Top Cleaning Creme cleans, it  
leaves a protective coating on the cooktop surface.  
This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral  
deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning  
easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this protective  
coating and therefore make the cooktop more  
susceptible to staining.  
5. Buff with a dry paper towel.  
NOTE:  
• Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface  
if the 30° angle is maintained.  
To conveniently order more creme and/or  
scrapers for cleaning your radiant range,  
please call our toll free number:  
National Parts Center  
800-626-2002  
• Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.  
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Store the razor blade out of reach of children.  
PRECAUTIONS  
• Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and  
abrasives which can damage the surface of your  
cooktop. Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme  
for proper cleaning and protection of your glass  
ceramic surface.  
• If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper  
or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may  
bond with the glass ceramic and leave a black  
discoloration. This should be removed immediately  
before heating again or the discoloration may be  
permanent.  
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film  
on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme will  
remove this discoloration.  
• If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across  
the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal  
markings which appear as scratches. If this should  
happen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to  
remove these markings. Failure to remove these  
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.  
• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable  
using Cook Top Cleaning Creme or full strength  
white vinegar.  
Read and follow all instructions and warnings  
on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.

USING YOUR OVEN  
Before Using Your Oven  
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how

the first few times you turn your oven on. This is  
normal in a new oven and will disappear in a short  
time. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.  
to set them properly.  
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.  
Take a practice run at removing and replacing  
them properly to give sure, sturdy support.  
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.  
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,  
especially during the first weeks of using your  
new range.  
Oven Shelves  
The shelves are designed with  
stop-locks so when placed  
correctly on the shelf supports,  
they will stop before coming  
completely out of the oven and  
will not tilt when you are  
To remove the shelves from the  
Bump  
oven, pull them toward you, tilt  
front end upward and pull them out.  
To replace, place the shelf on the  
shelf support with the stop-locks  
(curved extension of the shelf)  
facing up and toward the rear of  
the oven. Tilt up front and push  
the shelf toward the back of the  
oven until it goes past the bump  
on the shelf support. Then lower  
the front of the shelf and push it all  
the way back.  
removing food from them or  
placing food on them.  
When placing cookware on a shelf,  
pull the shelf out to the bump on  
the shelf support. Place the  
cookware on the shelf, then slide  
the shelf back into the oven.  
This will eliminate reaching into  
the hot oven.  
Shelf Positions  
The oven has four shelf supports identified in this

BAKING  
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking. The latch is  
used for self-cleaning only.  
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control  
system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks  
using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new  
oven’s performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust  
the Oven Thermostat section. It lists easy Do It Yourself instructions on how  
to adjust the thermostat.  
NOTE: When the oven is hot, the top and outside surfaces of the range  
get hot too.

BAKING  
(continued)  
Preheating  
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking  
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles  
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens  
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat  
10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the  
food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent  
heat from escaping.  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means  
bringing the oven up to the specified temperature  
before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the  
oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher  
temperature does not shorten preheat time.  
Baking Pans  
Pan Placement  
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the  
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.  
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be  
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking  
results will be better if baking pans are centered as  
much as possible rather than being placed to the front  
or to the back of the oven.  
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a  
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.  
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting  
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and  
cookies require this type of pan.  
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking  
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to  
be reduced by 25°F.  
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of  
1
2
the oven. Allow 1- to 1 ⁄ -inch space between pans  
as well as from the back of the oven, the door and  
the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the  
pans so one is not directly above the other.  
• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find  
that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.  
to prevent overbrowning.  
Baking Guides  
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions  
for the best baking results.  
Cookies  
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without  
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked  
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have  
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.  
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the  
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover  
a shelf with a large cookie sheet.  
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven  
at a time.

BAKING  
(continued)  
Pies  
Cakes  
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans  
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil  
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet  
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away  
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.  
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause  
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.  
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe  
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and  
drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than  
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may  
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size  
used is the one recommended.  
Aluminum Foil  
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.  
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in  
poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used  
to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf  
several inches below the food.  
Don’t Peek  
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to  
look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking  
times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.” DO NOT open the door to check until  
the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows  
heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also  
be affected.

than the one it replaced. We recommend that you  
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more  
familiar with it, following the times given in your  
recipes as a guide.  
1. Put the Oven Temperature knob in the  
OFF position.  
2. Press and hold the HOUR INCREASE  
and the HOUR DECREASE pads at the  
same time for 5 seconds until the display  
changes.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,  
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think  
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If  
you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make  
it hotter.  
3. Immediately, before display changes  
back, press the HOUR INCREASE or  
DECREASE pads to increase or decrease  
the temperature in 5 degree increments.  
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive  
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,  
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.  
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.  
The oven temperature can be increased up to 35°F.

4. Wait several seconds for the control to automatically  
set and return to its previous setting.  
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or  
self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be  
retained in memory after a power failure.

ROASTING  
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during  
Most meats continue to cook after being removed  
from the oven. The internal temperature will rise 5° to  
10°F. during the recommended standing time of 10 to  
20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes  
them easier to carve. To compensate for this rise in  
temperature, you may want to remove the roast sooner  
(at 5° to 10°F. less than the temperature in the  
Roasting Guide).  
roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.  
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or  
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.  
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and  
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.  
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.  
Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed  
Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound  
indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed  
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.  
Remember that food will continue to cook in the  
hot oven and therefore should be removed when  
the desired internal temperature has been reached.  
How to Set Your Range for Roasting

Use of Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.  
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for  
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily  
cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press the  
foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

Questions and Answers  
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a  
meat thermometer?  
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook  
a roast or poultry?  
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at  
the completion of cooking time is recommended.  
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.  
For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer  
at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time  
has passed.  
A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.  
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips  
that would help me cook it more evenly?  
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,  
or buy rolled roasts.  
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when  
roasting a turkey?  
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to  
carve it?  
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it  
unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown  
the meat.  
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to  
20 minutes after removing them from the oven.  
Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.  
ROASTING GUIDE  
Frozen Roasts  
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started  
without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per  
pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for  
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).  
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.  
Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.  
Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked  
successfully without thawing. Follow the directions  
given on the package label.

BROILING  
Do not lock the oven door with the latch while  
Turn the food using tongs only once during broiling.  
Time the foods for the first side according to the  
Broiling Guide. Turn the food, then use the times  
given for the second side as a guide to the preferred  
doneness.  
broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.  
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from  
the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender  
cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to  
keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.  
How to Set Your Range for Broiling  
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut  
vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.  
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer  
about 1/8 inch thick.  
4. Leave the door open to the broil stop position.  
The door stays open by itself, yet the proper  
temperature is maintained in the oven.  
5. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to BROIL.  
Preheating the elements is not necessary. (See the  
Comments in the Broiling Guide.)  
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.  
Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler  
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough  
to catch on fire.  
6. When broiling is finished, turn the Oven  
Temperature knob to OFF. Serve the food  
immediately, and leave the pan outside the  
oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.  
3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position as  
suggested in the Broiling Guide. Most broiling is  
done on C position, but if your range is connected  
to 208 volts, you may wish to use a higher position.  
Use of Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan  
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil  
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.  
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat  
juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices  
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do  
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a  
grid in the pan?  
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as  
they should?  
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the  
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,  
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the  
grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive  
spatter and smoking.  
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range may  
be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for  
10 minutes before placing the broiler pan with food  
in the oven. Check to see if you are using the  
recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest  
period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn  
the food only once during broiling. You may need  
to move the food to a higher shelf position.  
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?  
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to  
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the  
meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. Turn  
the meat with tongs instead of a fork.

your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and  
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower  
part of the pan.  
• The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,  
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat  
if desired.  
• The oven door should be open to the broil  
stop position.  
• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the  
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise  
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the  
meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent  
piercing the meat and losing juices.  
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN  
Normal Cleaning Time is 4 hours 20 minutes  
Before a Clean Cycle  
We recommend venting with an open window or  
using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-  
clean cycle.  
3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and  
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened  
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door  
outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-  
clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot  
water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well  
with a vinegar and water solution. This will help  
prevent a brown residue from forming when the  
oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.  
Do not clean the gasket.  
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware  
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t  
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.  
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in  
the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken,  
lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the  
shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning  
to make shelves slide more easily.  
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the  
top, sides and outside front of the oven door with  
soap and water.  
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you  
use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning  
to prevent staining.  
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.  
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the  
fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely  
low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-  
fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-  
efficient oven operation and good baking results.  
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or  
damaged in any way or if it has become displaced  
on the door, you should have it replaced.

right away unless the oven has cooled below the locking temperature.  
After a Clean Cycle  
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just  
NOTE:  
wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.  
You cannot program the oven for Timed Baking  
before the door automatically unlocks.  
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-  
filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly  
with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits  
are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by  
the Clean Cycle.  
• While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the  
CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to  
the clean count down, press the COOK TIME pad.  
• If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe the shelf

Questions and Answers  
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part  
of my self-cleaning oven?  
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after  
cleaning?  
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any  
part of this oven. If you do use them and do not  
thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it  
absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar  
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next  
time the oven is automatically cleaned.  
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is  
ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge  
or cloth.  
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is  
the matter?  
A. After many cleanings, oven shelves will lose their  
luster and become hard to slide. To make shelves  
slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports with  
cooking oil.  
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs  
during cleaning?  
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the Oven  
Temperature knob to OFF. Open windows to rid  
room of smoke. Wait until the AUTO SELF  
CLEAN light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and  
reset the clean cycle.  
Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the  
self-clean cycle. Is this normal?  
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will  
lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.  
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear  
during cleaning normal?  
Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven  
is self-cleaning?  
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and  
cooling during both the cooking and cleaning  
functions.  
A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use  
the cooktop just as you normally do.  
Q. The AUTO SELF CLEAN light flashes when  
I set the clean cycle. What’s wrong?  
Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?  
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few  
cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might  
also cause a strong odor when cleaning.  
A. The AUTO SELF CLEAN light will flash until  
the latch is moved to the right.  
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled  
surface of my oven?  
A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating  
and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not  
affect how your oven performs.

CARE AND CLEANING  
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF  
AND ALL SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE  
CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.  
Proper care and cleaning are important so your radiant  
cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory  
service. If soil, mineral deposits from evaporated  
water spills or metal rub-off from aluminum  
Follow these directions carefully in caring for your  
cooktop to assure safe and proper maintenance.  
Be sure that the surface unit control knobs are  
turned off and that the entire cooktop is cool  
before cleaning. Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a  
hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your  
health and can chemically attack the glass surface.  
cookware is not removed, it will burn on the glass  
cooktop surface and cause permanent discoloration.  
Control Panel and Knobs  
Molded Rib  
Spring clip  
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each  
use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and  
water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a  
soft cloth.  
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid  
cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers  
on the control panel—they will damage the finish.  
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water solution  
works well.  
The control knobs may be removed for easier  
cleaning.  
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note  
that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the  
right side are in the proper OFF position. When  
replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure  
proper placement.  
Clear Groove  
in Stem  
The knob stem has a groove in each side. The groove  
on one side has a spring clip. The other groove is  
clear (see illustration). Check the inside of the knob  
and find the molded rib.  
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and  
hot water solution but do not soak.  
Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside the  
knob into the clear groove on the stem.  
Oven Shelves  
Clean the shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser or  
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with  
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.  
NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in  
the self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will  
darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.  
Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-  
cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily.  
Oven Heating Elements  
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.  
Broil Element  
Bake Element  
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.  
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the  
oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate  
around the bake element gently wipe around the  
element with warm water.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(continued)  
Broiler Pan and Grid  
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.  
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out  
grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and  
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-  
filled or plastic scouring pad.  
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in  
the dishwasher.  
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with  
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels  
or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned  
on foods.  
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the self-  
cleaning oven.  
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere  
in the range.  
Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a  
commercial oven cleaner.  
Lift-Off Oven Door  
The oven door is removable,  
but it is heavy. You may need  
help removing and replacing  
the door. Do not lift the door by  
the handle. This can cause the  
glass to break or can cause  
damage to the door.  
To remove the door, open it a  
few inches to the special stop  
position that will hold the door  
open. Grasp firmly on each side  
and lift the door straight up and  
off the hinges.  
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:  
Inside of the door:  
• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during  
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by  
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional  
stains when the oven is heated.  
• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a  
soap filled scouring pad.  
• Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass  
material of the gasket has an extremely low  
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting  
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient  
oven operation and good baking results. If you  
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged  
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,  
you should have it replaced.  
NOTE:  
• Be careful not to place hands between the hinge  
and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap  
back and pinch fingers.  
• While working in the oven area, cover the hinges  
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent  
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel  
on the frame.  
To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the  
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom  
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the  
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same  
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull  
them back out.  
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the  
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.  
Inside Gasket  
Gasket  
Outside Gasket  
Outside of the door:  
• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,  
sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well.  
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces  
and basting materials containing acids may cause  
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.  
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.  
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or  
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Removable Storage Drawer  
The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware  
and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable  
material in the drawer.  
To remove:  
• Pull the drawer straight out  
and lift over the guide stops.  
Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is  
too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened. To  
open the drawer, grasp the center of the handle and  
pull straight out.  
To replace:  
• Lift over the guide stops and  
slide the drawer into place.  
To clean the inside and outside:  
The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under  
the range.  
• Wash with soap and water. Rinse well. Do not use  
cleansing powders or harsh abrasives which may  
scratch the surface.  
Oven Interior Light  
NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only  
when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a  
better grip.  
To remove:

3 ⁄ Max. Length  
Unscrew the cover  
and remove the bulb.  
Bulb  
Glass Cover  
The light bulb is located on the back wall of the oven.  
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power  
to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel  
or unplug the range from the electrical outlet. Let the  
bulb cool completely before removing it. For your  
safety, do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If  
you do, the bulb will break.  
To replace:  
Put in a new 40-watt  
appliance bulb.  
NOTE:  
• A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard  
40-watt household bulb.  
• Install and tighten the cover.  
• Reconnect electrical power to the range.  
Painted Surfaces  
Painted surfaces include the outside oven door, sides, control panel and  
drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water  
solution. Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel  
wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.  
Oven Vent Duct  
The oven vent is located at the rear of the cooktop. Never cover the opening  
with aluminum foil or any other material. This would prevent the oven vent  
from working properly.

Instructions.  
STABILITY DEVICE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR BRACKET KIT NO. 342473  
Tools needed:  
3. Determine whether you will anchor the bracket to  
the floor or wall. Fasten the bracket securely with  
the screws provided. The screws are self-drilling in  
wood, plywood, particle and chip board, and most  
metal framing. If attaching to masonry you can buy  
suitable screws and anchors at hardware stores. Use  
a masonry drill to drill the required holes.  
• Phillips head screwdriver

• 1 ⁄ open end or adjustable wrench  
The bracket attaches to floor or wall to hold either the  
right or left rear leg leveler. If fastening to the floor,  
be sure that the screws do not penetrate electrical  
wiring or plumbing. If this cannot be determined, use  
shorter screws that will not penetrate through  
flooring.  
4. Using the wrench, back out the four leg levelers at  
least two turns. See the Installation Instructions for  
more leveling information before positioning range.  
The bracket is packed inside the oven. Remove and  
follow the instructions below.  
5. Slide the range into place. Be sure the rear leg  
leveler fully engages the slot in the bracket. If  
the range cannot be moved back far enough for  
the rear leg leveler to enter the bracket, move the  
bracket forward as required and attach to the floor  
in the new location.  
1. Decide whether the bracket will be installed on the  
right or left side of the range location.  
2. If the bracket side of the range is adjacent to a  
cabinet, place the bracket against back wall and  
cabinet as shown in Figure 1.  
If there is no adjacent cabinet, determine where  
the location of the range side (painted outside  
panel) will be. Place the bracket with its outside  
edge at this location and against the back wall.  
See Figure 1.

USE THIS PROBLEM SOLVER  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
“F–AND A NUMBER”  
FLASH IN THE DISPLAY  
• If the time display flashes “F–and a number”, you have function error code.  
If a function error code appears during the self-cleaning cycle, check the oven  
door latch. The latch may have been moved, even if only slightly, from the  
latched position. Make sure the latch is moved to the right as far as it will go.  
Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF. Allow the oven to cool for one hour.  
Put the oven back into operation.  
• Disconnect all power to the range for 5 minutes and then reconnect power.  
If the failure code repeats, then call for service.  
SURFACE UNITS WILL NOT You must use pans which are absolutely flat. If light can be seen between

the pan bottom and a straight edge, the elements will not transfer heat properly.  
• Pan bottoms should closely match the diameter of the surface unit selected.  
COOKTOP FEELS HOT  
• The glass cooktop surfaces may seem hotter than you are used to.  
This is normal. Make sure flat-bottomed pans are used.  
FOODS COOK SLOWLY  
• Improper cookware being used. Pan bottoms should be flat, fairly heavy-weight  
and the same diameter as the surface unit selected.  
SURFACE UNITS DO NOT  
WORK PROPERLY  
• Difficulty may be in the main distribution panel of your house, caused by a blown  
oven-circuit fuse, a tripped oven-circuit breaker, the main fuse or the main circuit  
breaker, depending on the nature of the power supply. If a circuit breaker is involved,  
reset it. If the control box uses fuses, the oven fuse (a cartridge-type) should be  
changed, BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRICAL  
CIRCUITS. If after performing one of these procedures, the fuse blows or  
circuit breaker trips again, call for service.  
NOTE: Apartment tenants or condominium owners should ask their building  
management to perform this check before calling for service.  
• Cooktop surface unit controls are not properly set, or the wrong control knob  
is set for the surface unit you are using.  
TINY SCRATCHES  
• Incorrect cleaning methods have been used, cookware with rough bottoms has  
been used, or coarse particles (salt or sand) were between the cookware and the  
surface of cooktop. Use recommended cleaning procedures, be sure cookware  
bottoms and cookware are clean before use and use cookware with smooth  
bottoms. Tiny scratches are not removable but will become less visible in time  
as a result of cleaning.
