IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
cooking 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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and oven door window.
• Wear proper apparel—loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
• 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 if allowed to become too hot.
• Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result
ininjury.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven
door or warmer drawer (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 is equipped 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 interior 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
coverthe broilerinsertwith aluminumfoil. 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.
Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
range. If the range is not turned off and the power
resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
IMPORTANT
• DONOTLEAVECHILDREN ALONE —children
should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance,
including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,
warmer drawer or lower double oven.
• Storagein oron appliance—flammablematerials
should not be stored in an oven, warmer
drawer, near surface units or in the storage
drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items,
such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as
flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR 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 is
turned 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 under a ventilating hood, turn
the fan on.
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORCLEANING
YOUR RANGE
•Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention
to the area around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’srecommended directionsfor use.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
•Clean ventilatinghoods frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.
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.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• 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 a good 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.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS

Types of oven racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the
following oven rack styles shown.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven vent location
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 baking results.
Do not block the oven vent.

Fig. 2
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven
rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than
normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible positions between the standard postions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven
rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking
and when roasting large cuts of meat.
Removing, replacing & arranging 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 of the rack upward and slide the rack back into
place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to
follow the recommendations for using proper
cookware as illustrated in Figs. 3 & 4.
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. 3).
Fig. 4
Fig. 3
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 flat oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1). For
best results when using a single oven flat rack, place
cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2).
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
•Weight of handle does not
tilt cookware. Cookware is
well balanced.
• Cookware size matches the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size of
the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match cookware
bottom to element
diameter.
• Curved and warped pan
bottoms.
• Cookware overhangs element
by more than 1/2” (1.27 cm).
• Cookware is smaller than
element.
• Cookware weight is not
balanced.

9
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:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See
Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
Porcelain-enamel onmetal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Element ON indicator light(s)
Your range is equipped with one or more Element On
indicator light(s) that will glow on your range.
The Element On indicator light is located on the control
panel just above the surface control knobs (See Fig. 1) and
will glow when a surface 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.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
“Cookware material types” in the Before setting
surface controls section).
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning using a ceramic cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller
diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass
cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking elements at the same time. This can
cause uneven heating results. This can also cause the
ceramic cooktop to fracture (for Ceramic cooktop models
only).

Operating surface elements
To operate surface elements:
1. Place correctly sized cooking utensil on surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting. Start most surface
cooking on a higher setting and then turn to a lower
setting to finish. The surface control knobs do not have
to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the panel
graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control
knob as needed (Fig. 1). Each surface element provides
a constant amount of heat at each setting. For more
information see the Suggested surface element
settings table (Fig. 2).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the surface element
OFF before removing the cookware.
The suggested settings table provided below are based
when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

CAUTION
• Surface elements may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. The element surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the element
or the area surrounding the element is touched before
it has cooled sufficiently.
•Do not place flammable items such as plastic 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.
•Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface drip bowls, or reflector pans. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual.
• The Element On indicator light(s) will glow when one
or more surface elements are turned ON. A quick
glance at this indicator light when finished cooking on
the cooktop is an easy check to be sure all surface
controls are turned OFF.

SELF-CLEANING
Preparing for a self-clean cycle
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). 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.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
andANYALUMINUMFOIL.Theseitemscannot
withstandhigh cleaning temperaturesand will
melt.
• Completelyremove ALL OVENRACKS and ANY
ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed they will loose their special coating
properties and no longer slide in and out of the
oven cavity easily.
• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
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 leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
•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. These areas are shown in white (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
•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.
•The oven bake and broil elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The
elements may still be hot and burns may occur if
these elements are touched before they have cooled
sufficiently.
• 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.
•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.

element will burn off. Food spilled on a COOL element may
be cleaned with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn
off the next time the element is used.
CAUTION
•Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of
these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
•Never immerse a surface element in water.
• Be sure the range is cool before removing surface
elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal
ends when replacing surface elements after cleaning.
Cleaningdripbowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and
dry while still warm. Hard to remove, burned on soil can be
removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in
a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and
water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon
scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive
cleaners or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface.
Always rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft
cloth.
