IMPORTA#TSAFETY
I#STRUCTIO#S
WARNJNG_ To prevent
[ _J accidental tipping of the
range from abnormal
use, including excessive loading
of the oven door, attach the
range to the wail or floor by
installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied. If the range is moved
for cleaning, servicing or any
reason, be sure the Anti-Tip
device is re-engaged properly
when the range is slid back in
the opening. Failure to do so
could result in the range tipping
and may cause personal injury.
To inspect the Anti-Tip device,
remove the storage drawer and
look to see if the rear leg leveler
fully engages the slot in the
bracket.
important: To ensure safety for
yourself, family, and home, please
read your Use and Care Guide
carefully. Keep it handy for reference.
Pay close attention to Safety Sections.
BE SURE your appliance is installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
• DO NOT leave children alone or
unattended near an appliance in use.
•TEACH CHILDREN not to play with
controls or any part of the appliance,
and not to sit, climb or stand on the
door, or any other part of the
appliance.
*CAUTION: NEVER STORE items of
interest to children on the backguard
or in cabinets above the appliance.
Children climbing on the appliance
could be seriously injured.
* KEEP THIS book for later use.
* NEVER USE your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
* NEVER TRY to repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless
instructions are given in this manual.
All other work should be done by a
qualified technician.
* ALWAYS KEEP combustible wall
coverings, curtains, dishcloths,
towels, potholders, and other linens a
safe distance from the appliance.
* NEVER HEAT unopened food
containers. Pressure buildup can
cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
* NEVER LEAVE containers of fat or
drippings in your oven.
* ALWAYS KEEP the oven and
surface unit areas free from things
that will burn. Food, wooden utensils,
and grease buildup could catch fire.
Plastic utensils could melt and
canned foods could explode. Your
appliance should never be used as
a storage area.
* ALWAYS KEEP your appliance clear
of things that will burn (gasoline and
other flammable vapors or liquids).
* NEVER TRY to clean a hot surface.
Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes, and wet cloths or sponges
could cause steam burns.
* NEVER WEAR loose-fitting clothing
when using your appliance.
* NEVER USE a towel or other bulky
cloth as a potholder. Make sure the
potholder is dry. Moist potholders
and wet cloths or sponges could

iMPORTANTSAFETY
iNSTRUCTiONS
DO NOT touch cooking zones,
surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces. These may be hot enough
to cause burns even though they
are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch or let clothing or
flammable material contact the
zones or hot surfaces until they have
had time to cool. Other surfaces
near the oven vent openings, oven
door and window, and cooktop
surfaces may also be hot enough to
cause burns.
*NEVER LEAVE cooking zones
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers result in smoking or
greasy spills which could catch fire.
*NEVER cook on a broken cooktop;
cleaning solutions and spillage
could penetrate it and create the
risk of electrical shock or fire.
Contact a qualified technician for
repairs.
*ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other cooking
zones to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition, unintended contact, and
spillage.
*WHEN PREPARING flaming foods
under the vent hood, turn the fan on.
ONLY certain kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking. Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking
without breaking due to the sudden
temperature change.
ALWAYS USE care when
touching cooking zones. They will
retain heat after the range has been
turned off.
NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
behind the right rear cooktop
cooking zone.
COOKWARE USED for
cooktop cooking should be flat
on the bottom and large enough to
cover the cooking zone being used.
Undersized utensils expose the
cooking zone and may result in
direct contact or ignition of clothing.
The proper size utensil will also
improve efficiency.
*PLACE OVEN RACKS in the
desired position while the oven is
cool. If racks must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact the hot oven element.
*AFTER BROILING, always take the
broiler pan and grid out of the oven
and clean them. Leftover grease in
the broiler pan could catch fire the
next time you use your oven.
*ALWAYS USE care when opening
the oven door. Let hot air and steam
escape before moving foods.
*NEVER USE aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. Improper use of
foil could start a fire, or electrical
shock could result.

iMPORTANTSAFETY
iNSTRUCTiONS
*CLEAN ONLY the parts listed
in this manual. Follow all cleaning
instructions. Be sure to remove
broiler pan and grid before the
self-clean cycle.
*NEVER RUB, move, clean, or
damage the door gasket on self-
cleaning ranges. It is essential for
a good seal.
*NEVER TRY to clean utensils,
cookware, removable parts, or
broiler pan and grid in the self-
clean cycle.
*DO NOT USE oven cleaners--
No commercial oven cleaner or
protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
*IF THE SELF-CLEANING mode
malfunctions, turn the oven off and
disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
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 birth defects
or other reproductive harm and
requires businesses to warn their
customers of potential exposure
to such substances. The fiberglass
insulation in aself-cleaning oven
will give off a very small amount
of carbon monoxide during the
cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an
open door or window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
IMPORTANT: The health of
some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during
the self-clean cycle of any
range. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION NOWZ
Be sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of fire.
Never use water on a grease fire;
it will only spread the flames.
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
Never pick up a flaming pan...
1. Turn off the surface elements.
2. Smother the flame with a tightly
fitting lid, use baking soda, or
use a dry chemical, foam, or
halon-type extinguisher.
OVEN FIRE:
Do not try to move the pan!
1. Close the oven door and turn
controls off
2. If fire continues, carefully open the
door, throw baking soda on the
fire, or use a dry chemical, foam,
or halon-type extinguisher.

CAUTION: When the /
surfacecontrolsare /
turned off, the Hot |
Surface Indicator light will |
remain lit until the cooktop |
surface has cooled to |
approximately 150°F. The |
glass ceramic surface will |
retain heat after the indicator |
light goes out. Use caution |
until !he cooktop surface has |
had time to cool.
Sugar spills (such as jellies, fudge,
candy syrups) or melted plastic can
cause pitting of the cooktop surface
unless the spill is removed while it is still
hot. Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.

OPERATION
RadiantCooktopCooking(cont.)
If you don't know :::d::¢Y_:_i:;Y7}:l
if your cookware
is flat on the
bottom, try this
test. Turn your pan upside down on
the countertop, place the edge of a
ruler flat against the surface of the
pan. Rotate the ruler in a full circle,
checking as you turn for any space
between the two surfaces. The
bottom of the pan and the edge of
the ruler should fit flush against each
other all the way across.
Stainless Steel: Highly
recommended for use with your new
cooktop. Especially good with a clad
bottom.
Aluminum: Heavyweight aluminum
cookware recommended.
Cast Iron: Cast-iron cookware that is
completely covered with porcelain
enamel is recommended. Cast iron
that is not covered with porcelain
enamel may scratch the glass
ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Copper Bottom: Has good
performance, but it can leave a
residue on the cooktop surface if
allowed to boil dry.
Glass=Ceramic or Stoneware:
Usable. Check for rough edges or
burrs, which may scratch the cooktop
surface.
When the knobs are turned on, coils
beneath the glass radiate heat
through the glass to the cooking
utensil. It will take a few moments for
the coils to heat; as they do, a red
glow can be seen below the surface
of the cooktop (on all zones except
the warmer zone).
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle
the units off for a time if:
• The pan boils dry.
,,The pan bottom is not flat.
• The pan is off center.
,,There is no pan on the unit.

time cooking processes or other
household activities. It does not
control the oven. It can be set for up
to 9 hours and 59 minutes. It will
count down in minutes until the LAST

control will beep once. When the
countdown reaches ZERO, the
control will beep 3 times, followed by
one beep every 6 seconds until the
KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad is
touched. The 6-second beep can be
removed for future cycles if desired.
For directions on removing this

OPERATION
Oven Centre/, C/ock, and Timer
(cont.)
Your new control has a series of
tones that will sound at different times.
These tones may sound while you set
the control for an oven function, or at
the end of the oven function. Itwill
also alert you that there may be a
problem with the functions. Below
are the types of tones and a brief
description of each.
TONES WHILE SETTING THE
CONTROL - When you touch a pad,
you will hear a beep. This beep will
let you know that the pad has been
activated. (The arrow pads do not
beep.)
END OF TIMED CYCLE TONE-
At the end of a timed cooking
function, you will hear 3 short beeps
followed by 1 beep every 6 seconds.
This beep will continue to sound
every 6 seconds until the CLEAR/
OFF pad is touched or you may
select the special feature to cancel
this 6-second beep from sounding
at the end of future cycles.
TO CANCEL THE 6-SECOND BEEP
1. Touch and hold the BAKE and
BROIL pads, at the same time
for 3 seconds, until the display
shows "SF."
2. Touch the KITCHEN TIMER ON/
OFF pad. The display will show
"con bEEP" (continuous beep).
3. Touch the KITCHEN TIMER ON/
OFF pad again. The display will
show "bEEP" (beep canceled).
4. Touch the START pad to cancel
the 6-second beep and leave the
special feature mode.
If you would like to return the
6-second beep, repeat steps above
until the display shows your choice
and touch the START pad.
ATTENTION TONE - This tone will
sound if you make an error or an
oversight is made while setting an
oven function.
Examples would be:
a. Setting a clean cycle and the oven
door is not properly closed.
b. Setting function and not pressing
the START pad.
c. Touching an additional function
pad without first setting a
temperature or time.
Any of these can be quickly identified
by watching the display.
PREHEAT TONE - When you
set an oven temperature, the oven
automatically starts to heat. When the
temperature inside the oven reaches
the temperature you have set, a tone
will sound to let you know the oven is
ready for baking.
If you set an oven function and the
control beeps while the display is
flashing "F" and a number or letter
such as "F4" or "Fd," there may be a
problem with the control or oven.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. If the
function code repeats, disconnect
all power to the range for at least 30
seconds and then reconnect the
power. Try setting the function again.
If the code repeats again, write down
the flashing code and call for service.
Tell the technician what code was
flashing.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
It is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time. To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate the
room by opening a window or
using a vent hood.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover the
oven bottom or
oven rack with
aluminum foil.
Improper use can cause poor heat
flow, poor baking results, and may
damage the oven finish. To prevent
staining from spillovers, you may
place a piece of aluminum foil or a
cookie sheet on a rack below the
food which may spill over.
Preheating is bringing the oven
temperature up to the temperature
you will be using during baking. Let
the oven preheat when recipes call
for preheating.
The low temperature zone of your
oven (between 170°F and 200°F)is
available to keep hot cooked foods
warm. However, foods should not be
kept at these temperatures longer
than 2 hours.
When using your convenient Delay
Start operation, foods such as dairy
products, fish, poultry, etc., should
never sit more than 1 hour before
cooking. Room temperatures and the
heat from the oven light promote
bacterial growth.
The oven vent is located behind
the right rear zone. This area could
become hot during oven use. It is
normal for steam to come out of the
vent and/or collect moisture
underneath when the oven is in use.
The vent is important for proper air
circulation. Never block this vent.
__ Oven Vent
_--_-_ . Location
To prolong the life of your
oven light bulbs, follow
this helpful tip: Always
turn the lights off when the oven is not
in use or during a clean cycle. If your
oven lights are left on for an extended
period of time, the oven will be warm
when the door is opened due to the
heat generated from the oven light
bulbs.
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips(cont.)
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high-fat products
such as butter or margarine (80% fat
by weight--the federal requirement
for products labeled "margarine").
You will get poor results if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies, or candies are
made with low-fat spreads. Low-fat
spreads contain less fat and more
water. The high moisture content of
these spreads affects the texture and
flavor of favorite baked recipes. The
lower the fat content of a spread
product, the more noticeable these
differences become. To ensure best
results, use margarine, butter, or stick
spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil.
The bake element is under the oven
floor. Do not place food on the oven
bottom for cooking.
The Oven Temperature Sensor at the
back of the oven continuously senses
and controls the temperature inside
the oven. To keep a constant set
temperature, the elements will cycle
(turn on and off during cooking).
Baking results will be ] -_ L_"_

are centered in the
oven as much as __
possible. If baking with
more than one pan, place the pans so
each has at least 1" to 11/2"of air
space around it. If baking four cake
layers at the same time, place two
layers on rack 2 and two layers on
rack 4. Stagger pans on the rack so
one is not directly above the other.

SHINY PANS reflect heat, and are
perfect for cakes and quick breads
that need a golden brown crust.
GLASS, DARK NON=STICK, OR
DARKENED-BY-AGE BAKEWARE
absorbs heat and can be used for
yeast breads, pie crust, or foods that
need a brown crust. The oven
temperature, when using these pans,
should be reduced by 25°F.
