Installation Instructions (continued)
Levelling
For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type levelling legs are provided at each
corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the levelling legs. (Refer
to Storage Drawer section).
To level the range:
1. Use a 1¼” open end key or an adjustable wrench to equally
unscrew the four levelling legs two to three turns each.
2. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.
3. Move the range to its final position, then put a spirit level on the
rack to check for levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed diago-
nally first in one direction, and then the other.
4. Use the 1 ¼” key or wrench to adjust the levelling legs. Turn each one until the
range stands firm without wobbling.
5. Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving.
1. Place the pan on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.
3. The Element On indicator lights are located on the control panel between two element
control knobs, one on each side, 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. Always turn the element off before removing the
pan.
Note:Thesizeandtypeofutensilused,andtheamountandtypeoffoodbeing
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
NOTE: All knobs shown in this owner’s Guide are typical only .
The suggested settings found in the chart above are based on cooking in medium thickness aluminum pans with lids. Settings
may vary when using other types of pans.
Do not place items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood could catch fire if placed too
close to the element.
DO NOT use the surface element in self-clean mode. During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements,
when used, are subjected to high heat. To ensure maximum element life, do not use the surface element during a self-
clean cycle.
If floor is flat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers
(some models) to prevent the range from moving.
If floor is not flat or level or if this model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4
levelling legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.
Circuit Protection
As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt breaker is provided for each
of the electric outlet(s) (2 max.). It (they) is (are) located on top or underneath of the
control panel. Models with no electric outlet have no breaker.

Setting Surface Controls
Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (Some models)
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. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline
on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottomed 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.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface.Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack
it.Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface.Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking
utensils) is not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard.
Element On & Hot Surface Indicator Lights
Your model may be equipped with two different types of radiant surface
control indicator lights that will glow on your range— the ELEMENT ON
indicator light and the HOT SURFACE indicator lights (See illustration at left).
The Element On indicator lights are located on the control panel above and
between two element control knobs 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. The Hot Surface
indicator light located on the control panel above each control knob will glow
when the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass
cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.
If your model has only the Hot Surface Indicator light (one over each
control knob the light will glow when the element is turned ON and will
REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level even if
the element is turned OFF.
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
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.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before
You Call checklist sections of this Use & 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 will occur more often if the cookware
is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
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 is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has
completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).
About the Radiant Surface Elements
Theelementtemperaturerises graduallyandevenly.
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.

Setting Surface Controls
Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (Some models)
To Operate a Single Radiant Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (See
Fig. 1). 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. Note: The ELEMENT ON indicator light will glow when one or more
elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished
is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface
indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the “OFF”
position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
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.
Fig. 1
To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (some models)
The element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer element. The “Simmer Select” feature heats the
element at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element.You may switch between normal
cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking process. When using the element control for normal
cooking all of the settings on the control knob (LO to HI) function as normal.
To Start Simmer Select:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in the Simmer button located below the control knob at right.
3. Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band on the control knob (LO to 4). Use
the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob from LO to 4 as needed (see illustration below). The Simmer Select
indicator light will glow and remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 2).
4. To return to normal cooking, push in and release the “Simmer Select” button and the indicator light will turn OFF. When
cooking is complete, be sure to set the control knob to the OFF position.

Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Zone (some models)
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. 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 or
aluminum foil 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 to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface
andbeverydifculttoclean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and
cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the Warmer Zone will not glow
red when it is hot.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Zone Control
1. To set the control, push in either direction and turn the knob (See Fig 2).
The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and
LO. However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO
for different levels of heating.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The Warmer Zone will
remain warm until the indicator light goes OFF.
Temperature Selection - Refer to the chart at the side column for
recommended heating levels. If a particular food is not listed, start with the
medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.
Note: Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables,
gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner
plates.
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Element (some models)

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware
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 Figure 5). Be sure to follow the
recommendations for using cookware as shown in Figure 4.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
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).
If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may
leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks
Using Power Element (some models)
The “Power Element” feature uses a higher wattage surface radiant element
which can bring food items to boil much quicker. The radiant element will
be clearly marked if this feature is available on your range (See Fig. 3).
If equipped with the “Power Element” feature, place the cookware on the
surface element and follow the instructions “To Operate a Single Radiant
Element” in the Settings Surface Controls section.

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.

Cooking Informations
Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove all utensils from the oven 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.
Adjusting Your Oven Temperature
For instructions on how to adjust the oven temperature refer to the electronic oven control guide.
Grid
(some models)
Broiler Pan
(some models)
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food is browned; 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 (some models)
Broiler pan and its grid 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 ex-
posed 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 extin-
guisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Surface Elements and Drip
Bowls (some models) Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls eas-
ier. 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 instructions under General Cleaning.
To clean 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 abra-
sive 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 instructions under General Cleaning.

the front of the cooktop.
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.
3. To lower the top, lift the top slightly and lower the rod. Lower the range top down into
the range frame.
When lowering the lift-up range top, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to
pinch fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the range top when raising or lowering. This could
damage the surface.
Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions (some models)
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chemically damage the cooking surface.
Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease
spatters are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Daily Cleaning
For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.
3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and
ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using
a clean damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with
the cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.
For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the
cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.
3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.

General Care & Cleaning
Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance (some models)
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic sur-
face. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cook-
ing. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal
markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately
after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or
scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the
cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop
heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and
can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic
type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving
no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for
any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a
30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff
surface clean.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive
type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic
glass cooktop.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic
cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately.
After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from
the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
• Donotuseabrasivecleanersandscouringpads,suchasmetalandsomenylon
pads.Theymayscratchthecooktop,makingitmoredifculttoclean.

Oven Cleaning
Cleaning the Manual Clean Oven (non self-clean oven, some models)
Make sure the oven is cool and that all control knobs are et OFF position. Cleaning the
oven is a lot easier when the door is removed.
1. Remove the oven door; see under To Remove and Replace the Oven Door section.
2. Empty the oven including the racks.
3. You can wash the racks in the kitchen sink.
4. Clean oven lining thoroughly with soap and a wet cloth and wipe with a dry cloth.
To remove burned-on fat on oven walls, moisten soiled parts with household ammonia,
using a wet cloth. Follow suggested manufacturer’s cleaning method. (Do not remove the
oven door when using ammonia.)
Complete cleaning with a damp cloth and use a fine steel wool scouring agent if necessary.
The lower element can be moved up for cleaning purposes.
5. Replace racks in the oven. Reinstall oven door.
Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (Some Models)
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the
appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning section
in this Use & Care Guide.
Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models)
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near the appliance.
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.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push
CANCEL pad. Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO
NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it.
DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven
surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil
completely or reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove all excess spillovers in the oven cavity 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 tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These
areas heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap
and water.
3. Remove all utensils and any foil from the oven. These items do not withstand high
cleaning temperatures
4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the
clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and the
oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide easier.

What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds
of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear
through the oven vent, located on the top of the control panel.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is
normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.
Setting the Controls for Self-Clean Cycle

The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch lo-
cated on or underneath the control panel.
On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.
THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.
To replace the light bulb:
BE SURE OVEN IS COOL.
1. Turn the power off at the main source.
2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.
4. For self-cleaning oven, press wire holder to one side to release glass shield, change bulb
and be sure to replace glass shield.
