Important Safet Instructions
Important Safety Not ce
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to pu lish a list of
su stances known to the state to cause cancer, irth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires usinesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such su stances.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know wh ch knob controls each surface heat ng un t. Place a
pan of food on the unit efore turning it on, and turn the unit off
efore removing the pan.
• Use Proper Pan S ze—This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
ottoms 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.
• Utens l Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements—To reduce the risk of urns, ignition
of flamma le materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should e positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
units.
• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at H gh Heat
Sett ngs—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has oiled dry may melt.
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heat ng Elements—
Heating elements should never e immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.
• Glazed Cook ng Utens ls—Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suita le for cook top service without reaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use.
• When flam ng foods under a vent lat ng hood, turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Open ng Oven Door or Warmer Drawer ( f
equ pped)—Stand to the side of the range when opening the door
of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape efore 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 elow the ackguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause
severe urns. 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 e moved while oven is
hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
oth hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
efore moving.
• Do not use the bro ler pan w thout ts nsert. The roiler pan and
its insert allow dripping fat to drain and e kept away from the high
heat of the roiler.
• Do not cover the bro ler nsert w th alum num fo l. Exposed fat
and grease could gn te.
• Protect ve L ners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
ottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Clean n the self-clean ng cycle only the parts l sted n th s Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the roiler
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 e 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 e taken not to ru , damage or move the gasket.
•The health of some irds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move irds to another
well-ventilated room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch f re. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each
surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
• K tchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended d rect ons for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean Vent lat ng Hoods Frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or f lter. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS
• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Dr p Bowls Are n Place—A sence of these pans or owls during cooking may su ject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
• Protect ve L ners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip owls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. Improper installation of these liners
may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Arrang ng Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL
(PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN . Always use oven mitts when
using the oven.
For est air circulation and aking
results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper air circulation
and e sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides
or ack of the oven cavity. The hot air
must e a le to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for
even heat to reach around the food.

Bak ng Layer Cakes w th 1 or 2 Oven
Racks
For est results when aking cakes using 2 oven
racks, place cookware on rack positions 1 & 4 (See

Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 3 (See
Fig. 5).
Oven Racks
Your range is equipped with one or more Flat
Oven Rack(s). Place the rack(s) into the positions
shown in Fig. 2. See the Recommended Rack
Positions in the chart a ove.
Oven Vent Locat on
The oven vent is located under the left rear surface element (See
Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
aking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Remov ng & Replac ng Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front

Before Setting Surface Controls
ELEMENT ON Ind cator L ghts
Your range is equipped with surface control indicator lights that will glow on your
range— the ELEMENT ON indicator lights (See Fig. 1).
The ELEMENT ON located on the control panel and will glow when a surface
element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an
easy check to e sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF.
Cookware Mater al Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is
transferred from the surface element to the pan ottom. The most
popular materials availa le 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 resem le scratches.
Remove these marks immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor ut discolors easily. May
leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum a ove).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is dura le, 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 ase material. Porcelain-enamel coating must
e smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic
cooktop surfaces ecause it may scratch the glass.
Us ng proper cookware
Fig. 3
Fig. 2
The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for est cooking results. Cookware should have flat
ottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating
element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness y rotating a ruler across
the ottom of the cookware (See Fig. 3).
Be sure to follow the
recommendations for
using proper
cookware as
illustrated in Figs. 2 &
3. For more
information a out the
ceramic cooktop see

Maintenance” in the
