or warm a room. Also, do not use the oven as a storage
area for food or cooking utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of air by blocking the oven vent.
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 any
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
opening and surface near this opening, oven door, win-
dow of oven door.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect

Never heat an unopened food container in the oven.
Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting
in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should
never be used as potholders because they can trail across
hot elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-
sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking. Cloth-
ing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes in
contact with heating elements.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,
using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved

ImpomntSefetv
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element
will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing
or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil
manufacturer's instructions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into
the room or over another surface element. This reduces
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small
children.
Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when
using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause
smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different size surface
elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to
cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
GlASS=CERAMIC SURFACE: NEVER 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.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before
attempting to move pan.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease
or other flammable materials from accumulating on hood
or filter and to avoid grease fires.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Cleaning Safety
Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait
for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning.
Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
Self-Clean Oven
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 or oven liners of any kind in or
around any part of the self-clean oven.
Important Safety Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the
oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be
some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances,
including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances
can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the
outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room
where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never
keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes
from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive
respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-
cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Srnoothtop Surface
Smoothtop Surface Notes:
Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few
times the cooktop is used. This isnormal.
,Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time
after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off
a few minutes before food iscompletely cooked and use
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot
surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool
enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the
smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in
settings as quickly as coil elements.
.In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from
the cooking surface.
,Never attempt to lift the cooktop.
.The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is
hot. This isnormal and will disappear when the surface
cools.
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent
circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,
fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than !/2 to 1=inch beyond
the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the
smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to
maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

Tips to Protect the
Smoothtop Surface
Cleaning (see page 21 for more information)
*Before first use, clean the cooktop.
Clean your cooktop daily or after each use.This will keep
your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
Ifaspillover occurs while cooking, immediatelyclean the
spill from the cooking area while itis hot to prevent a tough
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a
clean dry towel.
Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the
cooktop trim for a long period of time.
Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads
which will scratch the cooktop.
Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not
specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
', Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
Never cook food directly on the surface.
Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does
this waste energy, but itcan also result in spillovers burning
onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.
Do not use non-flat specialty itemsthat are oversized or
uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or
oversized canners and griddles.
Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto
the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an
authorized Amana Servicer.
Cookware Recommendations
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such
as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent
results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less
energy, and cook food more evenly.
To Prevent Marks & Scratches
', Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and
pan. These items can mark or etch the top.
Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See
Cleaning, page 21.)
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before
turning on to prevent scratches.
To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top,
do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe
the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel
before using.
Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since
these may scratch.
To Prevent Stains
,, Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the
cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains
on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in
a permanent stain.
To Prevent Other Damage
Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content
to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean
immediately.(See Cleaning, page 21.)
Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and
pan.
Fiat Pan Tests
See if your pans are flat.
The Ruler Test:
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.
2. Hold it up to the light.
3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.
The Bubble Test:
1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn
control to High.
2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.
Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven
bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

Surfece¢ookin:
Canning and Oversize
Cookware
All canners and large pots must have fiat bottoms and
must be made from heavy=gauge materials. This iscritical
on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than
1 inch larger than the element.
When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking
times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on
smoothtop surfaces.
When canning, use the High heat setting only until the
water comes to a boil or pressure isreached in the canner.
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or
pressure. If the heat isnot turned down, the cooktop may be
damaged.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the
factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning
differences between a new oven and an old one. As ovens
get older, the oven temperature can shift.
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is
not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or
lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results
of the "test" should give you an idea of how much to adjust
the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. Pressthe Bake pad.
2. Enter 550° by pressing the appropriate number pads.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until 0°
appears in the display.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the
change will be displayed. For example, if the oven tem-
perature was reduced by 15°the display will show "-15°".
4. Pressthe Autoset 0 pad to adjust the temperature.
Eachtime the Autoset 0 pad is pressed, the temperature
changes by 5°.The oven temperature can be increased or
decreased by 5° to 35°.
Pressing the Autoset 0 pad will first cycle through increas-
ingthe oven temperature (5, 10.... 35). Continuing to
press the Autoset 0 pad will then cycle through decreasing
the oven temperature (-35, -30.... -5).
5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.
You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a
power failure or interruption. Temperature adjustment applies
to Bake and Convect only. Broiling and cleaning temperatures
cannot be adjusted.
Changing Temp °F/°C
1. The factory default setting for temperature is Fahrenheit.
2. To change the setting, press and hold the CANCELand Bake
pads at the same time for three seconds.

Cleanin i
Self-Clean Oven To set Self=Clean:
Note: Oven temperature must be below 400° Fto program
a clean cycle.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior.
The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers
to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not allow a
heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Self=Cleaning
1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn
out during the clean cycle.
2.
.
Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the
oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily
after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.
Clean oven frame, door frame, area
outside of gasket, and around the
opening in the door gasket with a
nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon
Ami* or detergent and water. The
self-cleaning process does not
clean these areas. They should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean
cycle. (The gasket isthe seal around the oven door and
window.)
4. To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around
the oven door. The gasket isdesigned to seal in heat
during the clean cycle.
5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom.
This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming
during the clean cycle.
6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet
potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel
isacid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self-clean
