important Safety instructions
•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 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--Build=up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
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 rangetop
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.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the ovens off. If the ovens are not turns off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance
for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
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 flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the surface heating 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.
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 units unattended at high
heat settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers 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
Do not clean or operate a broken 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 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--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 ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near each side and towards the
back of the cooktop. 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 an
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks
in desired location while ovens are 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 ovens. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The broiler
pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
•Do not cover the broiler grid 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.

Surface Cooking
Use Proper 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 1). Be sure to follow the
recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 1
Note: The size and type of cookware used will
influence the setting needed for best cooking
results.
Note: Always use an utensil for its intended purpose.
Follow manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils
were not made to be used in the oven or on the
cooktop.
Do not use griddle over more
than one burner because it could damage
your cooktop. It can also result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards and be hazardous to your health.

Figure 2
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers
may be used but must conform to the above recommended
cookware requirements.
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.
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.

Surface Cooking
Specialty Pans & Trivets
DO NOT use a wok if it is
equipped with a metal ring.
Because this ring traps heat,
the cooktop surface could be
damaged.
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your
cooktop are available in most cookshop or
hardware stores.
DO NOT use two elements (if the cooktop is
not equipped with bridge element) to heat one
large pan such as a roaster or griddle, or allow
cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of
the pan in either of these situations could cause
discoloring or cracking of the glass range surface.
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware
bottoms must be in direct contact with the surface
elements.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles
and pressure cookers may be used but must
conform to the above recommended cookware
requirements.
For glass smoothtop
models, only flat
bottomed woks (without
support rings) may be
used.
Canning Tips & Information
Canning can
generate large amounts of steam.
Use extreme caution to prevent
burns. Always raise the lid to vent
steam away from you.
,,
1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with the
manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the
bottom surface is flat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to
bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to
maintain a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner
unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are
destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the
required time.

Figure 1
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care &
Cleaning section and Before You 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
smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and
can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to
page 6 under Use Proper Cookware).
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 phe-
nomenon is normal and the glass will come back to
its original white color after it has completely cooled
down. (White glass cooktops only).
Surface Cooking Settings
Use the chart (see Figure 2) 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.
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-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 elements 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:
- One 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;
- A dual 6=or=9 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A dual 9=or=12 inch radiant element at the center rear
position;
-Two 7 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and
rear positions.
- Between left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant
element. The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using
the same knob that controls the left front radiant element
position.

necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results.
Oven Vent Locations
Arranging Oven Racks
The smaller oven has one oven rack and the larger oven has three
oven racks. ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN
IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven
mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until itstops. Lift
up front of rack and slide out. To replace an oven rack, fit the rack
onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward
and slide the rack back intoplace.

Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must
circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around
the food.
