IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
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. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve
efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units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 Units Unattended at High Settings
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Glazed Cooking UtensilsOnly certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for rangetop use.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
Do Not 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.
Clean cooktop 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 harmful fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Protective LinersDo not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil
as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the
food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Use Care When Opening Door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 is vented
between the cooktop and the backguard. 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 oven element or interior of the oven. Remove all utensils
from the rack before removing rack.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so
could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the range or turn off
the power to the range before removing and replacing light
bulb.
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease
filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
Kitchen cleaners/aerosolsAlways follow the manufacturer's
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or
injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS:
Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven
listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.
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 oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any
part of the oven.

Surface Cooking 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. Placing foods directly
on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) is not recommended as
uneven cooking and more difficult cleaning will result.
Radiant Surface Units (some models)
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.
Halogen Surface Units (some models)
The Halogen Surface Unit is similar to the Radiant Surface Unit with the
additionofahalogenlampsurroundingtheheatingcoil.Thelampimmediately
heats up and glows bright red when the surface unit is turned on. Since the
unit begins to heat instantly, cooking time is improved. The Halogen Surface
Unit cycles on and off to maintain the selected heat setting.
Indicator Light(s) There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your rangea
surface signal light and a hot cooktop signal light.
The surface signal light, 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 signal light, located under the glass cooktop or on the
control panel, will come on as the cooktop area heats up and will continue to
glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.

To Operate the Warm Zone
Your range is equipped with a 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.
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.
To Set the Warm Zone Control
1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures are
approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO. However, the control
can be set at any position between HI and LO for different levels of heating.
2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The warm zone will remain warm until
the hot surface indicator light goes off.

To Operate the Radiant and Halogen Surface Units
Push in and turn the surface unit control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at each setting.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting; then turn to a lower setting
to finish. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the
cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit. The control knob
does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide
and adjust the control knob as needed.
To Operate the Dual Radiant Unit Control (some models)
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.
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 unit.

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 wipe 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 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 about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has
gone out, 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.
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.
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
permanentdamageto the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).

Oven Cleaning
(continued)
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for
average to heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Push CLEAN. "  " appears in the display.
3. Push the UP ARROW until "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle,
or push the DOWN ARROW until "2:00" appears in the display for a 2 hour
cycle.
4. As soon as the UP or DOWN ARROW is released, "CLn" appears in the
display.
5. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close
automatically and the "Lock" indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the
door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the lock to
close).
6. The "LOCK" light will glow until the cleaning cycle is completed or cancelled,
and the oven temperature has cooled.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:
1. The time of day will appear in the display window and the "LOCK" light will
continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has
gone out, 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.
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.

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. 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. 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.
Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a dishcloth.
Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes.
Rinse. Cleaners made especially for stainless steel are recommended. Be sure to rinse
the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.
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.

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.
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.
Before cleaning the
cooktop,besure thecontrolsareturned
to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
