important Safety instructions
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire ifallowed 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.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check
the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers, ifan
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.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the 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 uten-
sils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the sur-
face 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 spill-
age 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 protec-
tive liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
FOR COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY
•Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating
Elements. Surface heating elements should never be im-
merse in water. Heating elements clean themselves during
normal operation.
•Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place. Ab-
sence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cook-
top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of elec-
tric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass 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 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 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 /warmer drawer.
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.

important Safety instructions
Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped)
Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location
while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) 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 heat-
ing elements in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
Do not use your 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 insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp 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 de-
posits 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 gasket--The door gasket is es-
sentia! 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,

Figure 1
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 Figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-
iii!"?'_iiii
Z!ii!iiii:
........iii.......
bottom 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.
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.
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 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear position;
2 dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the right and left front position
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.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop
cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and BeforeYou Call
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
istoo small for the radiant element or ifthe cookware bottom is not flat (Refer
to the section Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware for using correct cookware
instructions with the cooktop).

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (cont'd)
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 will 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 1
*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 rear and the left
rear (Figure 2) element positions.
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
,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.
,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

for larger cookware.
Turnthe knob to adjust the setting ifneeded. 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 thebottom edge ofthe cookware indicates
the cookware is too small for the surface heating area. ,,
t
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 6.
Note: The size and type of cookware
used will influence the setting needed
for best cooking results.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Your oven temperature control has been precisely set at the factory. This setting may differ from your previous oven,
however, so your recipe times may not give you the results you expect. Ifyou think that the oven is cooking too hot or
too cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the control so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature
displayed.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Press pad.
2. Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing and holding the .J_ pad.
3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold pad until the 2 digit display appears. Release pad. The display now
indicates the amount of degrees offset between the original factory temperature setting and the current temperature
setting. If the oven control has the original factory calibration, the display will read "0."
4. The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F or 19°C, in 5°F or 1°C steps by pressing and holding
the _ or V pad. Adjust until the desired amount of offset appears in the display. When lowering the oven
temperature, a minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount of degrees.
5. When you have made the desired adjustment, press (_T_,'_pad to go back to the time of day display.

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 will destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will 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 cycle is completed. The
oven may still be VERY HOT.

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 following 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 utensils and any aluminum foil.These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
•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 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 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. Do not
hand clean door gasket.
DO HAND
CLEAN DOOR
DO NOT HAND
CLEAN GASKET
Note: See additional cleaning informa-
tion for the oven door in the General
Care & Cleaning section.
NOTE: Prior to 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 con-
traction 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 (cont'd)
Self-Clean Time Length
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average, 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:
