* DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS
NEAR THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING
ELEMENTS OR iNTERiOR SURFACES OF THE
OVEN. Both surface and oven heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Areas near surface 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
sumcient time to cool. Among these areas are
the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and window.

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 apan lid, or use
baking soda, adry 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 only 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 in injury.
* Remove the oven door from any unused range

power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again
(Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil).
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
* Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit.
*Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select utensils having fiat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the surface
heating unit to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
"Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil.
Never leave surface burners unattended at
high heat settings--Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy accumulations that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil
to line oven bottom or any other part of
the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover
placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or short circuit.
* Glazed cooking utensils=Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
* Do not use decorative surface element covers.
if an element is accidentally turned on, the
decorative cover will become hot and possibly
melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are
touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
FOR COOl(TOPS WiTH COiL ELEMENTS ONLY
* Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface
Heating Elements. Surface heating elements
should never be immerse in water. Heating elements
clean themselves during normal operation.
* Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place. Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
FOR GLASS COOl(TOPS ONLY
*Do not clean or operate abroken cooktop--lf
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
* Clean cooktop glass with caution--if awet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn.
Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
*Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
*Use care when opening oven doormStand 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
is vented through the right rear coil element or
at right side of the front panel and visible when
the oven door is open. 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 your broiler pan without its insert. Your
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 insert with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
* Do not touch a hot light bulb with adamp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect
the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance
before removing and replacing light bulb.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be
kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate
on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could
catch fire. When you are flaming food under
the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
*In the self-cleaning cycle, only clean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the
oven, remove all 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 gasketmThe door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or move the gasket.
*Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change
if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
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.

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop
About the Ceramic Glass Coaktap
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 Figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only fiat-
bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cool<ware, 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.
Figure 2
NOTE: (White glass cooktops only) Due
to the high intensity of heat generated by
the surface elements, the glass surface
will turn light green when the element
is first turned off. This phenomenon is
normal and the glass will come back
to its original white color after it has
completely cooled down.
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 emcient cooking, turn off
the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
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.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:
2 smaller 6inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear position;
2dual 6or 9 inch radiant element located at the right and left front
position.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning
in the General Care &Cleaning section and Before You CaJJ checklist
section of this Use and 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
glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can also occur if the
cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is
not fiat (Refer to page 10 for using correct cookware instructions with the
cooktop).

Surface Cooking Settings
Use the chart (Figure 1) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are
preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of
foods warm such as stews and soups, The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate
foods and melting chocolate or butter.
Note: The size and type of cookware used wiii influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.
HIGH Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam
MEDIUM vegetables
MEDIUM LOW Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
LOW Keep warm, melt, simmer Figure I
Radiant surface
elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been
turned off. A hot surface
indicator light will come on and
will continue to glow until the
glass cooktop has cooled down
to a moderate level. The glass
surface may stiff be hot and
burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before the
indicator light has turned off:.
Do not place
plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders
or plastic wrappings on fop
of the range when if 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.
_The suggested settings are based on cooking in medium thickness aluminum pans
with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right and left rear
(Figure 2) element positions.
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
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
(Figure 3). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. 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.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before
removing the cookware. Note: The Hot Surface Indicator light will come on when
the control knob is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop
has cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the
controls are turned OFF.
Note: See above, Figure 1for recommended control settings.

Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with two dual radiant surface elements
located at the right and left front positions (See Figure 2). "'Single
and Dual" on the control knob are used to indicate which coil of the
dual radiant element will heat. "'Single" indicates that only the inner
coil will heat (Figures 1 and 2). "Dual" indicates that both inner and
outer coils will heat (Figures 3 and 4). You may switch from either coil
setting at any time during cooking.
Figure 1 Figure 3
To Operate the Dual Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See Figure 1) for
smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figure 3) for larger cookware.
3. Turn 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 srnaJJ for the surface heating area.
Figure 2 Figure 4
4. When cooking has completed° turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cool<ware. Note: The Surface
Indicator light will come on when the control knob is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has
cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See "Recommended Settings for Single and Dual Surface Elements" for recommended control settings.
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 cool<ware as shown in Figure 6.
Note: The size and type of cookware
used will influence the setting needed
for best cooking results. Figure 5
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 immediately. See Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop section.
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 wiii 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.

Self-Cleaning
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 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.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of
the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
wiii destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum
foil wiii melt to the interior surface of the
oven).
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 Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above 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 fallowing cleaning precautions:
*DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
"DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. 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 all ufensils and any aluminum foil. These ifems cannot
wlfhsfand high cleaning femperafures.
o Oven racks do not have to be removed, but remaining in the oven during
the Self-Clean will turn them slightly blue and dull their finish. If left in,
after the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad
oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
*Remove any excessive spiHovers in the oven cavity before starting
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Toclean, 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 mill<, 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 sumcientJy to burn soilon. Clean with soap and waten Do not
hand clean door gasket.
NOTE: Priorto setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed.
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 contrac-
tion are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke
may appear through the oven vent.
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.
18

Self-Cleaning (cant'd)
Self-Clean Time Length
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for overage, and a 4 hour cycle for
heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during
the Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start Self-Clean Cycle:
(Note: If you do not want to start a Delayed Self-Clean Cycle, skip steps 2 & 3.)
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
