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 UnitsTo reduce the risk of bums,
ignitionof flammable materials, and spillage dueto 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 Units Unattendedat High Heat Settings
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective LinersDo not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom, or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil
as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Glazed Cooking UtensilsOnly certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturers
recommendations for cooktop use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan

Indicator Light(s)
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the surface
of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface unit
below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the
diameter of the unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop
to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and
size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the
units are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas
surrounding the surface units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot
enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with
rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods directly
on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to glass or
difficulty in cleaning will result.
Radiant Surface Units
The Radiant Surface Unit is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic fixture
below the glass cooktop. The unit temperature rises gradually and evenly. As
the temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the selected setting,
the unit will cycle on and off. The heating unit retains enough heat to provide
a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture
thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat in the heating zone.
For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes before cooking is
complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. The
amount of residual heat depends on the type and quality of cooking utensil, the
quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat setting.
Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within the
same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for operating the
different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be
used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The larger unit or
both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage and can be used to prepare
larger quantities of food in larger pans. When using the outer coil, both inner
and outer coils operate.
There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your rangea
surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator.
The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any surface
unit is turned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an easy check to
be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot cooktop surface indicator, located under the glass cooktop or on the
control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and will
continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.

Setting Surface
Controls
Radiant Surface Unit Control
Dual Radiant Surface Unit Controls
The control knobs shown below are
representational. The knobs on your
range may not look exactly like those
shown.
To Operate Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be
set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the
control knob as needed. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of
heat at each setting. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the
unit.
3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing
the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking
is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The
hot cooktop surface light will continue to glow after the control knob is
turned to off and will glow until the element has cooled sufficiently.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in
medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans.
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUMHIGH (7-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM(4-6) Maintain a slow boil,thicken sauces andgravies, steam
vegetables
MEDIUMLOW (2-3) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
SIMMER(1-SIM) Keep warm, melt, simmer
Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. Indicates inner coil only.
Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either
coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn the Dual
Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired setting as instructed
above.
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 glasstop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too small for the
element or if the pan bottom is not flat.
After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to touch
either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will turn dark
in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if the units are
touched at this time.
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 unit.

Setting Warm Zone
Controls (if equipped)
To Operate the Warm Zone
The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold
food on the warm zone.
All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum
foil to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the
cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop
use on the warm zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red
when it is hot.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

the hot surface indicator light goes off.
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended heating levels. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.
Indicator Lights
The surface indicator light is located below the warm zone control. It turns
on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The hot
surface indicator light, located under the glass cooktop, will come on when
the control is set and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled
down to a moderate level.

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

Oven Cleaning
(continued)
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for
average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).

Shut Off Automatically:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Push . "CLN TIME" will appear in the display.
3. Push and hold or until "3 HR:00" appears in the display.
Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you havelight, medium
or heavy. *See above.
4. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close
automatically and the "LOCKED" indicator light will be displayed. (It takes
about 15 seconds for the lock to close.)
5. The "Clean" light will come on. The "Oven" light will come on and cycle with
the oven burner units.
Note: If the self-cleaning cycle is cancelled while at a high temperature, make
sure the word "LOCKED" is not in the display and the oven has cooled down for
at least 1 HOUR before trying to open the oven door.
To Set the Controls for the Self-Cleaning Cycle To Start at a Delayed Time
and Shut off Automatically:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Push . "CLN TIME" will appear in the display.
3. Push and hold or until "3 HR:00" appears in the display.
Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you havelight, medium
or heavy. *See above.
4. Push STOP TIME. The time of day that the self-cleaning cycle ends
will appear in the display. The words "CLN STOP TIME" will glow in the
display.
5. Push and hold or until the time of day that you want the
cleaning to be completed appears in the display.
6. The control will calculate backward from the set stop time to determine
when the self-cleaning cycle should begin. The words "DELAY" and "CLN
STOP TIME" will glow in the display.
7. The self-cleaning cycle will come on automatically at the calculated time.
At that time, the word "DELAY" will go out and "ON" will appear.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed
1. The time of day will appear in the display window and the word "LOCKED"
may remain in the display.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR and the word "LOCKED" shown
in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened.
Use care when opening
the oven door after the self-cleaning
cycle. Stand to the side of the oven
when opening the door to allow hot air
or steam to escape.
DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after
the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.

How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils
and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on
soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use
abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove
control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the
shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob
and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the
control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using
hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth.
Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40
minutes. Rinse. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping
the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Cleaners made
especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic
American Corp., or similar products are recommended. Always follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may
occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after cleaning,
line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into
place.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with
a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots
with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean
water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse
and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on
the cooktop.
Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for
cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue
and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven
has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into
the rack positions).
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT
immerse the door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.
General Cleaning Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range
Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and
the range is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR
CLEANINGS LATER.

DO NOT use a cooktop
cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes
can be hazardous to your health, and
can chemically damage the ceramic-
glass surface.
General Cleaning Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic-glass
cooktop. If food spills, grease spatters and metal rub-off from aluminum
cookware are not removed, they may be burned onto the surface of the
cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Daily Cleaning
For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe up spills and spatters using a clean paper towel. Always use a new,
clean
paper towel when cleaning the ceramic-glass cooktop.
3. Rub a few drops of a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream
onto soiled area using a clean, damp paper towel. Buff with a dry paper
towel until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a
protective coating of silicone which helps in preventing scratches and
abrasions. Clean surface with the cooktop cleaning cream after each use.
4. Rinse with another clean damp, paper towel. Buff dry with a dry paper
towel.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Carefully scrape soil with a metal razor blade scraper. Hold razor blade
scraper at a 30° angle to the cooktop.
3. Remove loosened soil with a clean paper towel.
4. Apply cooktop cleaning cream as described for normal soil.
5. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. After all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface with the cooktop cleaning cream.
For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must
begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when
following the steps below.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out
of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop.
3. Allow the cooktop to cool.
4. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.
DO NOT use the following on the ceramic-glass cooktop:
Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads. They may scratch the
cooktop and make it more difficult to clean later.
Sponges, cloths or dish towels. Lint or soil remaining on the cooktop from
a cloth or sponge can burn and cause discoloration.
Anything that may melt (plastics, aluminum foil).
Cleansers other than a recommended ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning
cream.
Chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid, chemical oven cleaners or
any other kind of chemical cleaner. They may etch or discolor the cooktop.
Before cleaning the
cooktop,be sure the controlsareturned
to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
