IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit 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 isturned 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.
•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 underaventilating hood, turn the fan on.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door orWarmer Drawer/Bake=
n-Warm TM Double Oven (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 isequipped 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.
• Do not cover the broiler insertwith alumin urnfoil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
• 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 agood 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.
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.
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP 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.

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 13 for using correct
cookware instructions with the cooktop)
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 Figs. 1 & 2). 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.
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
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for
ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the Care &
Cleaning section and Before You Call

Element ON & Hot Surface indicator Lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface
control indicator lights that will glow on your range--the Element ON
indicator lights and the Hot Surface indicator light (Refer to Fig. 2).
The Element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel above
each radiant element control knob and will glow when a radiant element is
turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy
check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The Hot Surface
indicator light located on the control panel will glow when any surface
cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has
cooled to a MODERATE level.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant element to
cycle ON & OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to
the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur
more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
To Operate a Single Radiant Element (See Figs. 1, 2, 3 &
4; some models):
1. Place correctly sized cookware on radiant surface element.
2. Push in & turn the surface control knob in either direction to
the desired setting (Refer to the Suggested Radiant Surface
Element Settings Table and Fig. 2 above). Start most cooking
operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting
to finish cooking. The surface 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 element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing
red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of
the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the
surface heating area.
3. When cooking is complete turn the surface element OFF
before removing the cookware.

Dual Radiant Elements (all models)
The cooktop isequipped with one or more dual radiant surface
elements. Symbols on the control panel (See Fig. 4) are used
to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The
symbol shown in Fig. 1 indicates that only the inner coil will
heat. The symbol shown in Fig. 4 indicates that both inner and
outer coils will heat. You may switch from either coil setting at
any time during cooking.
To Operate the Dual Element(s):
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See

larger cookware.
3. Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if needed.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface
element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending
beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
Note: The HE message will appear after turning the control
knob to OFF if the cooktop isstill hot and will remain on
until the radiant heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently. Note: See page 8, Fig. 5 for recommended
control settings.
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 ithas cooled sufficiently.

The Bridge Radiant Element (some models)
Some ceramic cooktop range models are equipped with
a "BRIDGE" surface element located at the left front
and middle (See Fig. 4) positions on the cooktop. The
Bridge may be used when cooking with rectangular (like
a griddle) or oval shaped cookware. The element will
maintain an even temperature setting across both
portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware,
the Bridge element can work like a single element
without the Bridge (See Fig. 3).

Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control
panel on each side of the Bridge element control knob. These
symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when
operating the Bridge element. The symbol in Fig. 1 indicates
that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (See
Fig. 3). The symbol in Fig. 2 indicates that both the single and
Bridge portions of the element will heat together (See Fig. 4).
You may switch from either of these settings at any time
during cooking with the Bridge element.
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.
