ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range,
the range must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip bracket. See installation
instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and
engaged properly, look underneath the
range to see that the rear leveling leg is
engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel
can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible,
slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to
the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under
the anti-tip bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this
procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.
WARNING Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.

Coil Cooktops
Each coil surface unit uses "SENSI-TEMP
TECHNOLOGY" to reduce the risk of cooktop oil and
grease fires. This feature is located in the center of each
surface unit. Power to the surface unit is temporarily
interrupted when a pot or pan exceeds expected cooking
temperatures. Even after the surface units are turned off,
the surface unit 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.
Cookware for Coil Cooktops
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the coil cooktop.

Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from
getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off
for a time if:
■ thepanboilsdry.
■ thepanbottomisnotflat.
■ thepanisoff-center.
■ thereisnopanontheunit.
Radiant Glass Cooktop
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface.
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.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is
normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot
or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as
the glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your
selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface
even when the cooktop is cool.
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.
■ Waterstains(mineraldeposits)areremovableusing

More about Cookware
■ Placeonlydrypansonthesurfaceelements.Donot
place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet
lids. Wet pans and lids may stick to smooth surface
when cool.
■ Donotusewoksthathavesupportrings.Thistypeof
wok will not heat on the cooktop.
■ Werecommendthatyouuseonlyaflat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store. The
bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as
the surface element to ensure proper contact.
■ Somespecialcookingproceduresrequirespecific
cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat
fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be
the correct size.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when
canning.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources.
These are available from manufacturers such as Ball®
and Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture Extension
Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water
bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time
required to bring the water to a boil.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge. You should
not be able to pass a US nickel coin
under the straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Do not place wet pans on
the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support
rings on the glass cooktop.
Use flat-bottomed woks
on the glass cooktop.

Recommended rack positions for various types of
foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For
example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
YourOvenmayhaveextensionracksand/ortraditional
flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.

Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
CAUTION Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more
foilthannecessaryandneverentirelycoveranovenrackwithaluminumfoil.Keepfoilatleast1-1/2”fromovenwalls
to prevent poor heat circulation.

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking Modes
When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies,
and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe
recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines
are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower
element but also from the upper element to cook
food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
The oven must be closed during broiling. Monitor
food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling
on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the
broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the
possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center
food below the broil heating element. Broiling on rack
position 6 is not recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by
using Broil Lo.
Broil Hi
The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the
upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts
ofmeatand/orfoodsyoupreferlessdoneontheinterior.
To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then
press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using
this mode.
Broil Lo
The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat
from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while
also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker
cutsofmeatand/orfoodsthatyouwouldlikecooked
all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil
pad twice and then press Start. It is not necessary to
preheat when using this mode.

Cleaning the Range – Exterior
CARE AND CLEANING: Cleaning the Range – Exterior
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed
and engaged.
Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range
is moved.
Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in
place and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
serious burns to children or adults.
Tip-Over Hazard
WARNING
WARNING If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-
tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious
burns to children or adults.
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull
them straight off the stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may
also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the
inside of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs, in the OFF position to ensure proper
placement.
Control Panel
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 cleaners on the control
panel—theywilldamagethefinish.
Oven Exterior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.
Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water
solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at
room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the
door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean
these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders,
steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend
Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and
small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit
and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp,
soft sponge.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products
including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish,
readtheAssistance/Accessoriessectionsatthe
beginning of this manual.
For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed
by pulling them directly outwards once the knobs are in
the OFF position. Do not pull knobs up or down or hang
objects on them. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
The knobs can be washed by hand with soap and water
or in a dishwasher.
To replace knobs after
cleaning, align the hole
on the knob backside
with the gas valve shaft
and push inward until
the knob is securely
fastened. All knobs are
interchangeable Surface burner knob

Surface Units
WARNING
■ Be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the surface
units are cool before attempting to remove them.
■ Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.
■ Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.
■ Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.
■ Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair
the plug-in receptacle.
■ Do not pull on the SENSI-TEMP TECHNOLOGY
sensor cap.
To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest
setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil. To
clean the Sensi-Temp Technology Sensor cap, wipe
with a damp sponge or cloth. For cooked-on food spills,
remove the burner from the range and gently scrub the
cap and supports with a damp plastic scouring pad. Do
not use steel wool. Allow the burner to dry over night
before re-installing it.
To remove a surface unit:
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units
must be removed first.
1. Push the surface unit back toward the receptacle.
2. Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan
and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch. If you do, it
may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it back in.
NOTE: Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than
1 inch above the drip pan can permanently damage the
receptacle.
To replace a surface unit:
1. Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop.
Make sure the opening in the pan lines up with the
receptacle.
2. Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the
opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.
3. Push the surface unit in and down so it rests evenly in
the cooktop.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if
misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any
acidicfoodsspilled(suchasfruitjuices,tomatoor
vinegar)shouldnotbepermittedtoremainonthefinish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper
towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap
and water or cleansing powders after the surface has
cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Drip Pans
Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.
For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place
theminacoveredcontainer(oraplasticbag)with1⁄4cup
ammonia to loosen the soil. Rinse with clean water and
polish with a clean soft cloth.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up soil,
especially grease, may catch fire.
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so close
to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to
the range.
NOTE: If your cooktop is equipped with shiny, silver-
colored drip pans, do not clean them in the self-cleaning
oven. Permanent damage to the finish can occur.
If your cooktop is equipped with black or gray porcelain-
coated drip pans, they can be cleaned in the oven during
the self-cleaning cycle. Before you begin a self-cleaning
cycle, remove any heavy soil from the drip pans and
place them on the porcelain-coated oven racks. Do not
place the drip pans directly on the oven bottom. After
the self-cleaning cycle is completed and the drip pans
are cool, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any
remaining ash or residue.
Lift-Up Cooktop
The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the
up position for easier cleaning.
The surface units do not need to be removed; however,
you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier.
There are two side supports that lock into position when
the cooktop is lifted up.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower
the cooktop. Be careful not to
pinch your fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the
rods back and gently lower the
cooktop until it rests in place. Be sure all surface units
are turned off before
raising the Cooktop.
