• Injury to persons could result.
• Install anti-tip device packed
with range.
• See Installation Instructions.
To reduce the risk of tipping, the
range must be secured by
properly installed anti-tip bracket
provided with the range. To
check if the bracket is installed
properly, visually check that rear
leveling leg is inserted into and
fully secured by the anti-tip
bracket by removing lower panel or storage
drawer. For models with a warmer drawer, grasp
the top rear edge of the range and carefully
attempt to tilt it forward. Refer to the installation
instructions for proper anti-tip bracket installation.
•Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or
Heating the Room.
•Do not use the oven or Warmer Oven/
Lower Oven (if equipped) for storage.
•Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or
drawers of this range can result in serious
injuries and also cause damage to the
range. Do not allow children to climb or play
around the range. The weight of a child on an
open door may cause the range to tip,
resulting in serious burns or other injury.

4Safety
•Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven,
lower oven drawer, near surface units or in
the storage drawer. This includes paper,
plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks,
plasticware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol
cans, on or near the range.
•Do not leave children alone—Children should
not be left alone or unattended in the area
where appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE ZONE, AREAS
NEAR THESE ZONE, HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVENS. ALL
surface zones and oven heating elements may
be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas
near surface zones may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials touch
these areas until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Among these areas are the cook top,
surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.
•Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or
other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
•Do not use water or flour on grease fires—
Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
•When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.
•Use only dry potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the range. If the range is not turned off and the
power resumes, the range will begin to operate
again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock
and oven function.
IMPORTANT
Important safety instructions
Important instuctions for using your
cooktop
•Know which control operates each surface
heating zone. Place a pan of food on the unit
before turning it on, and turn the zone off before
removing the pan.
•Use proper pan size—This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the heating element to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efficiency.
•Utensil handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface elements—To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
•Never leave surface elements unattended at
high heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
•Do not immerse or soak removable heating
elements—Heating elements should never be
immersed in water. Heating elements clean
themselves during normal operation.
•Do not heat unopened food containers -
Buildup of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
•Remove the oven door from any unused
range if it is to be stored or discarded.
•Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom, except as suggested in
the manual. Improper installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

Safety
Important safety instructions
Important instructions for cleaning your
range
•Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free
of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular
attention to the area underneath each surface
element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
•Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow
the manufacturer’s recommended directions
for use. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and injury.
•Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the
hood or filter. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
Important instructions for using your oven
•Use care when opening oven door or lower
oven drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side of
the range when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove
or replace food in the oven.
•Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven
vent is located under the left rear surface
element if your model is equipped with coil
elements. The oven vent is located below the
backguard for models equipped with ceramic-
glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this
area when the oven is operating may cause
severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.
•Placement of oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot use
extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the
rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot heating elements in
the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
•Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat
to drain and be kept away from the high heat of
the broiler.
Important safety notice
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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposure to such substances.
Self cleaning ovens
•Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts
listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self
cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and
any utensils or foods from the oven.
•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.
•Do not clean door gasket—The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
For Ceramic-glass cooktop models
•Do not cook on broken cook top—If cook top
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cook top and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
•Clean cook top with caution—If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied
to a hot surface.
•Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
•Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use.
•When flaming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
•Cold temperatures can damage the electronic
control. When using the appliance for the first
time, or when the appliance has not been used
for an extended period of time, be certain the
unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C)
for at least 3 hours before turning on the power
to the appliance.

12 Setting for Best Results
Upper oven racks
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait
until the oven has completely cooled if possible.
Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven
racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (-
refer to Fig. 4. For best results when using a offset
oven rack, place cookware on rack position 2 or 3.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow a
space of 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for
proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must
be able to circulate around the pans and cookware
in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
The offset -Fig 1- oven rack may be used in all of
the rack positions. The offset design provides
additional height options. For maximum available
space if preparing a large turkey, it is suggested to
place the rack near the oven bottom (rack positions
1 or 2) - refer to Fig. 4. Do not extend the offset
rack past the oven door when in the lowest rack
postion.
The fully extendable glide racks -Fig. 2- make food
preparation easier. Especially when preparing
heavier dishes. The glide oven rack has 2 glide
tracks that allow you to extend your food away
from the oven effortlessly without rubbing the sides

14 Surface Cooking
Cookware
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence
the setting needed for best cooking results.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface heating element.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware.
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and
quickly heat is transferred from the surface element
to the pan bottom. The most popular materials
available are:
•Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some
types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized
aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If
aluminum pans slide across the ceramic
cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will
resemble scratches. Remove these marks
immediately.
•Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors
easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass
(see Aluminum above).
•Stainless steel - Slow heat conductor with
uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean
and resists staining.
•Cast iron - A poor heat conductor however will
retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking
temperature is reached. Not recommended for
use on ceramic cooktops.
•Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating
characteristics will vary depending on base
material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be
smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
•Glass- Slow heat conductor. Not recommended
for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may
scratch the glass.
Cookware should always:
• Have a flat bottom.
• Have tight fitting lids.
• Be well balanced.
• Be made of a material that conducts heat well.
• Be easy to clean.
• Match to the size of the element diameter.
• Have a curved or
warped bottom.
• Overhang the
element by more
than one-half inch.
• Be smaller than
the element
• Have a heavy
handle that tilts
pan.
Cookware should never:
Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
proper cookware as illustrated.
For more information about the ceramic cooktop
see “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in the
General Care & Cleaning section.

Setting Surface Controls
About the radiant surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and
evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will
glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the
element will cycle on and off. The heating element
retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient
cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.
Your range is equipped with radiant surface
burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to
heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases
as the element wattage increases.
How the cooktop works
About the ceramic glass cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The design
of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the
surface element underneath. Make sure the
diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the
element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred
up through the surface of the cooktop to the
cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be
used. The type and size of cookware, the number
of surface elements in use and the settings, are all
factors that will affect the amount of heat that will
spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The
areas surrounding the elements may become hot
enough to cause burns.
NOTE
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows
the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the
HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to
the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting
is normal and can occur if the cookware is too
small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat (refer to page 14
for using correct cookware on the cooktop).
• Please read the detailed instructions for
ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in both the
Care and Cleaning and Before You Call
sections of this Use and Care Guide.
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the
control panel. When the upper oven is operational,
warm air will pass through this vent naturally. The
venting is necessary for proper air circulation and
provides good baking results in the upper oven.
DO NOT BLOCK THIS VENT.

16 Setting Surface Controls
The cooktop controls provide 5 digital display
windows to help set power levels for the cooking
zones located on the cooktop. These settings work
the same way as traditional knob settings except
the settings are made using a touch sensitive panel
and show settings using LED style displays.
Available cooktop settings

Hot Surface Alert
After using any of the radiant element positions the
ceramic cooktop will become very hot. Even after
turning the surface controls off, the cooktop will
remain hot for some time after use.
The cooktop control monitors the temperature of
the cooktop surface and displays the message
hot surface when the cooktop is still too hot to
touch -Fig. 1. If the hot surface message remains
displayed, the heating zone may be set again and
used for cooking.
Setting the Perfect-Set™
cooktop
Your cooktop control provides 15 different power
level settings for each of the 5 cooking or heating
zones (including the warming zone). These displays
have keypads that allow the user to first activate
(ON/OFF) the needed element and then to quickly
turn that element ON using 3 preset power levels
(lo,med or hi). - See Figs. 4 through 6 -
In addition to the automatic settings, the +and -
keypads allows for more precise level adjustments
between the automatic settings.

• 1 circle = inner element only
• 2 circles = inner and outer element combined
Two of the cooktop element positions display
additional red keypads -Fig. 2 - that allows the user
to switch between single or dual elements sizes
quickly whenever the cooking zone is active.
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The
glass surface may still be hot and burns may
occur if the glass surface is touched before it
has cooled sufficiently.
•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 surface elements.

NOTES
• Pressing a cooktop ON OFF key only
activates or deactivates a surface cooktop
zone but will not start the heating process.
Activating and powering any surface cooktop
zone requires pressing two keys - the ON
OFF key first and then a power level selection
(+,-or med) must be added before the
cooktop zone will begin heating.
• Any of the cooking zones will begin to heat
ONLY when activated -See Fig 3, pg 16. If a
power level is not added to the active cooking
zone within 10 seconds of being active the
control will automatically deactivate the
cooking zone.
• If activating a surface cooking zone when no
surface cooking zones are active, you will
need to press and hold the ON OFF key for a
few seconds longer than normal before the
first cooking zone will activate. Once any
cooking zone is active, any zones added will
respond immediately.
