lmportantSafetymstructions
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR
THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR iNTE-
RiOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER
DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface units and oven
heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface units 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 cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.
Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging gar-
ments should never be worn while using the appli-
ance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials
contact hot surfaces.
Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
•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 ifallowed to become too hot.
Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or
interior oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth instead of a potholder.
•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Build up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
•Remove the oven door from any unused appliance if
it is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure, if the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by
cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the
first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of
time, make sure that it has been exposed to a tempera=
ture above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
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 BeTurned 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
unit.
•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended--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 appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or a short circuit.
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.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur ifthe
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do Not Clean or Operate aBroken 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 Glass 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 ifapplied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
•Use Care When Opening Door or Warmer Drawer (if
equipped)--Stand to the side of the appliance when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/
warmer drawer.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is
vented at the front above the oven door. 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/Warmer Drawer (if equipped)
Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils
from the rack before removing rack. 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/warmer drawer (if
equipped).
•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 or warmer drawer (if
equipped) 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
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR 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 instruc-
tions for cleaning.
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.
Oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven
during a self-cleaning cycle.
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.
Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.

Cooktop radiant areas that heat. Your appliance may
have one of these configurations - Fig. 1
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 (See Fig. 1).
Heat istransferred 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 their 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.
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 iscomplete.
This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
Your range isequipped with radiant surface elements with different wattage
ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as
the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:
Model A (See Fig. 1):
- Two dual 5 or 7 inch radiant element at the right and left rear position;
- Two dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right and left front position;
Model B (see Fig. 1):
- Two 6 inch radiant elements at the right rear and left front positions;
-A 8 inch radiant element at the left rear position;
-A dual 6 /9inch radiant element at the right front position;
Model D shown Only - Fig. 2
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care &
Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist
section of this Use and Care Guide.
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 smooth
top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur
ifthe cookware is too small for the radiant element or
ifthe cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 12
under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by
the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green
when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon
isnormal and the glass will come back to its original
white color after it has completely cooled down (White
glass cooktops only).
Model C (see Fig. 1):
- Two 6 inch radiant elements atthe right and left rear positions;
-A dual 9 /12 inch radiant element at the right front position;
-A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position.
Model D (See Figs. 1 and 2):
- Two 6 inch radiant elements atthe right and left rear positions;
-A dual 9/12 inch radiant element at the right front position;
-A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position;
-AWarmer Zone radiant element located between the right and
left rear positions.
Model E(see Fig. 1):
- A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;
- A dual 9 /12 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A Bridge radiant element located at the left front & rear
positions.

Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone (Model D):
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as:
vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-
safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat
cold food on the Warmer Zone.
All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid 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 or
aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum may melt onto the
surface.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop
use on the Warmer Zone.
Warmer Zone Temperature Selection
Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels (Fig. 1). Ifa
particular food isnot listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.

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 aluminum foil or 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 or burners.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands
on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot Surface indicator light isOFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Selecting Surface Cooking
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 (See Fig. 1). Be sure tofollow the
recommendations for using cookware as
shown in Fig. 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.
Cookware
Fig. 1
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:
t t
® Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
® Weight of handle does not
tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
® Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size of
the surface element.
® Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
® Easy to clean.
® Always match pot diameter
to element surface
diameter.

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 glass 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.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for properaircirculation 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 circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.

The rack can be used in 2 ways:
•Intheuprightpositiontoallowlowprofilefooditemstobeplacedbothunder
and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and
a casserole dish underneath).
•In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and
empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
Set the Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown below (Fig.l).
Operating the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperatu re. Always start with hot food. Itisnot recommended to heat cold food
inthe Warmer Drawer. All food placed inthe Warmer Drawer should be covered
with a lid oraluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover
food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use
only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.
Warmer Drawer Temperature Selection
Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Fig. 2. If a particular
food isnot listed, start with the MED setting, if more crispness isdesired, remove
the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept
warm (for instance, meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid
heat loss, do not open the Warmer Drawer while in use.

tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before
preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to
BROIL as instructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the element to become
red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food isbrowned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and
serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from
the element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The
first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require
additional time.
Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and itsgrid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven.
If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT
put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Grid
Broiler Pan
Broiler Clean=UpTips:
• To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking iscompleted. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan isextremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring
may scratch the grid.

Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar
and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth.
Glass cleaners may be used ifsprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray liquids directly
on the control pad and display area. Donot use large amounts of water on the control panel
- excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other
liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels- they will damage the
finish. 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.
Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a
cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not
use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for
cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish
stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier.
The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot
element will burn off. Food spilled on a cold element can be cleaned with a damp cloth any
remaining soil will burn off the next time element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A
SURFACE ELEMENT IN WATER. To remove surface element and drip bowls, follow the
instructionsunder General Cleaning.
Toclean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while
still warm. Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for
about 20 minute in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or solution made of equal parts
ammonia and water. A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive
cleanser or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and
polish, and dry with a soft cloth. To replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow the
instructionsunder General Cleaning.
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.
