Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
WARNING —
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping
of the range, attach it to the wall or
floor by installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied. Make sure the chain fits
securely into the slot in the bracket.
If you pull the range out from the wall
for any reason, make sure the device is
properly engaged when you push the range back
against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk
of the range tipping over and causing injury if you
or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in
this guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.
• Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL
BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING
OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone—children should not
be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They
could damage the range and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
• Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the range.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains
or drapes a safe distance from your range.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders
and other linens a safe distance from your range.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance away from your
range.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OFA RANGE—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought in
contact with hot surface units or heating elements
and may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist
or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam.
Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or
heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot
surface unit or heating element.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact, the surface units, the
areas nearby the surface units or any interior area
of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces
near the opening, crevices around the oven door,
the edges of the door window and metal trim
parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.
• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
Oven
• Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. The hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let a pot holder contact
the heating elements in the oven.
• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out
of the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the
broiler pan can catch fire next time you use the pan.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use. Do not
store flammable materials in an oven or near the
surface units.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in this guide. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.

Important Safety Instructions
Self-Cleaning 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 commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the
oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage
the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is
used.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Surface Cooking Units
• Use proper pan size—Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of the cookware to the surface
unit will also improve efficiency.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Be sure the drip pans and vent ducts are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the range.
• Never clean the cooktop surface when it
is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes
and wet cloths could cause steam burns if used
on a hot surface.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
on or near your range.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop cooking; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the center
of the range without extending over nearby
surface units.
• Always turn the surface unit controls off before
removing cookware.
• Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating
of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures.
• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all
surface units are at the off position and
all coils are cool before attempting to lift or
remove a unit.
• Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not
clean the surface units in the oven.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the
sides of the pan.
• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.

COOKTOP COMPARISON
Type of Cooktop Description How It Works
Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best
tubing containing cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of
electric resistance warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
wire suspended heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
over a drip pan. continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on
(Glass Ceramic) under a glass- the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
Cooktop ceramic cooktop. continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
under a glass and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
surface. off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
disk sealed to the cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
cooktop surface. disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
gas burners use pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
either LP gas heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
or natural gas.
Your new cooktop has electric coil surface units.
If you are used to cooking with gas burners or other
types of electric cooktops, you will notice some
differences when you use electric coils.
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have.
The following chart will help you to understand the
differences between electric coil surface units and any
other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

SURFACE COOKING
Your surface units and controls are designed to give
you an infinite choice of heat settings for surface unit
cooking. At both OFF and HI the control “clicks”
into position.
When cooking in a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight
“clicking” sounds—an indication that the heat
settings you selected are being maintained.
Switching to higher heat settings always results in a
quicker heat change than switching to lower settings.
Cooktop Comparison Surface Cooking
How to Set the Controls
1. Grasp the control
knob and push it in.
2. Turn the knob either
clockwise or counterclockwise
to the desired heat setting.
The control must be pushed in to set only from
the OFF position. When the control is in any
position other than OFF, it may be turned without
pushing it in.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you
finish cooking.
The surface unit “ON” indicator light will glow
when ANY heat on any surface unit is on.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to boil.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on
large amounts of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on
large amounts of food.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in covered pan.
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving temperature
of most foods. At LO settings, melt chocolate, butter
on a small unit.
NOTE: At HI and Medium High, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available
at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that
have support rings.
Use of these types of woks,
without the support ring in
place, is dangerous because
the wok is unstable. With the
ring in place, heat will be trapped inside the ring
and may cause damage to the porcelain cooktop.
Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You
could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Cookware
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
For best cooking results pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of
the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the
edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.
Right Wrong
Not over 1″Over 1″
Deep Fat Frying
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.
Keep the range and hood clean from grease.

HOME CANNING TIPS
Canning should be done on surface units only.
In surface cooking, the use of pots extending more
than one inch beyond the edge of the surface unit’s
drip pan is not recommended. However, when canning
with a water-bath or pressure canner, large-diameter
pots may be used. This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER POTS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN
WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all types
of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than
boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm
the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.
Observe Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the
surface unit. If your range or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,
use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they don’t make
enough contact with the surface unit and take too
long to boil water.
RIGHT WRONG
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner,
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Ball and Kerr, and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may
take longer than expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed.
The process time will be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating
of large quantities of water.

USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand
how to set them properly.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing them
properly to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4.
Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially
during the first weeks of using your new range.
NOTE:
• You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in
a new oven and will disappear in a short time. To
speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for 4 hours.
See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
Special Features of Your Oven Control Using Your Oven
Shelf Positions
The oven has four shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting, and Broiling sections. D
C
B
A
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that,
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out of the oven
and will not tilt when you are removing food from
them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove the shelf
from the oven, pull the
shelf toward you, tilt
the front end upward,
and pull the shelf out.
To replace, place the
shelf on the shelf
support with the stop-
locks (curved
extension of shelf)
facing up and toward
the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf
toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump
on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf,
and push it all the way back.

BAKING
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately
using an oven control system. It is recommended that
you operate the range for a number of weeks using
the time given on recipes as a guide to become
familiar with your new oven’s performance.
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the
Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It lists easy
Do It Yourself instructions on how to adjust the
thermostat.
How to Set Your Oven for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct
position before you turn the oven on.
1. Press BAKE.
2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set
the oven temperature.
3. Press START. When the oven starts to heat,
the changing temperature will be in the display.
(The display starts changing once the temperature
reaches 100°F.)
4. Press CLEAR/OFF when baking is finished.
NOTE:
• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during the
Bake cycle, press BAKE and set the new
temperature.
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place most foods in
the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or
C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.
Type of Food Shelf Position
Angel food cake A
Biscuits or muffins B or C
Cookies or cupcakes B or C
Brownies B or C
Layer cakes B or C
Bundt or pound cakes A or B
Pies or pie shells B or C
Frozen pies A (on cookie sheet)
Casseroles B or C
Roasting A or B
D

Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat
means bringing the oven up to the specified
temperature before putting the food in the oven.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—
selecting a higher temperature does not shorten
preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without
a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
After the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as
quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

Baking
Baking Pans Pan Placement
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking in
glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be
reduced by 25°F.
• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find
that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.
to prevent over-browning.
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1- to 11⁄2-inch space between pans as well
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.
If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other.
Cookies Aluminum Foil
When baking cookies,
flat cookie sheets
(without sides) produce
better-looking cookies.
Cookies baked in a
jelly roll pan (short
sides all around) may
have darker edges and
pale or light browning
may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover
a shelf with a large cookie sheet.
For best results during baking, use only one cookie
sheet in the oven at a time.
Never entirely cover a
shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb
the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil
may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it
on a lower shelf several
inches below the food.
Pies Cakes
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier
than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as “bake 30-40 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Opening the oven door frequently during
cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times
longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

TIMED BAKING
How to Set Your Oven for Time Bake
The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or
off automatically at specific times that you set.
Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and
you set it to turn off automatically at the end of
cooking time) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the
oven to turn on automatically at a later time and turn
off after a preset cooking time) will be described.
NOTE: Before beginning make sure the clock shows
the correct time of day.
To set the clock, first press CLOCK.
Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad
to set the time of day. Press START.
NOTE: An attention tone will sound if you are using
Timed Baking and do not press START after entering
the baking temperature.

3. Press COOKING TIME.
NOTE: If your recipe requires
preheating, you may need to add
additional time to the length of the
cooking time.
4. Press the INCREASE or
DECREASE pad to set the
baking time.
The oven temperature and the
cooking time that you entered will
be displayed.
5. Press START. The display shows the
oven temperature that you set and the

starts changing once the temperature reaches
100°F.)
The oven will continue to cook for the
programmed amount of time, then shut off
automatically.
6. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the end
of cycle tone if necessary.
NOTE:
• The low temperature zone of this range (between
170°F. and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked
foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than two
hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to
sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because
heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria
growth.
