Range Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Proper Installation – Be sure the range
is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
•Never Use the Range for Warming or
Heating the Room.
•Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children
should not be left alone or unattended
in area where the range is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the range.
•Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the range.
•User Servicing – Do not repair or replace
any part of the range unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
•Storage in or on the Range – Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven
or near surface units.
•Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, injury to persons,
or damage when using the range,
follow basic precautions, including
the following:
•WARNING – TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE,
THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED
BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-
TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE
DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROP-
ERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD,
LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET
SECURELY ATTACHED TO
FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK
SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER
ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
•CAUTION – Do not store items
of interest to children in cabinets
above a range or on the backguard
of a range – children climbing on the
range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the
word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

•Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS
OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface
units 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 contact surface
units or areas near units until they
have had sufficient time to cool.
Among those areas are the cook-top
and surfaces facing the cook-top.
•Use Proper Pan Size – The range is
equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.
•Never Leave Surface Units
Unattended at High Heat Settings –
Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
•Protective Liners – Do not use
aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock,
or fire.
•Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
•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 a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
•Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top –
If cook-top should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook-top and create a risk
of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
•Clean Cook-Top With Caution – If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
•Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot
air or steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers
– Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
•Placement of Oven Racks – Always
place oven racks in desired location
while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.

•DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELE-
MENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES
OF OVEN – Heating elements may
be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements
or interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns
– among these surfaces are oven
vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and
windows of oven doors.

The oven vent
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven
through a vent in the left rear corner of the
cooktop. Do not block the vent by using
large pans or covers. Poor baking/roasting
can result.
NOTE: Plastic utensils left over the vent
can melt.
The storage drawer
You can remove the storage drawer to make
it easier to clean under the range. Use care
when handling the drawer.
Removing the storage drawer:
1. Empty drawer of any pots and pans
before removing drawer. Use recessed
area on top edge of drawer to pull drawer
straight out to the first stop. Lift front and
pull out to the second stop.
2. Lift back slightly and slide drawer all the
way out.

Using and Caring for Your
Cooktop
Using the surface cooking areas
This section tells you how to operate the controls to the cooktop. It also discusses how
the ceramic glass cooktop works, and includes tips on how to cook with and maintain
the cooktop.
HOT CHAUD
(“CHAUD”
is French
for “HOT”)
wWARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done
cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death
or fire.
Control setting guide
For best results, start cooking at the high
setting; then turn the control knob down to
continue cooking.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
HI •To start foods cooking.
•To bring liquids to a boil.
6MED HI5•To hold a rapid boil.
•To fry chicken or
pancakes.
MED •For gravy, pudding, and
icing.
•To cook large amounts
of vegetables.
3MED LO2•To keep food cooking
after starting it on a
higher setting.
LO •To keep food warm until
ready to serve.
FRONT
Control knobs
Push in control knobs before turning them
to a setting. Set them anywhere between HI
and OFF.
Surface cooking area markers
The solid dot in the surface cooking area
marker shows which surface
cooking area is turned on by
that knob.
Power on lights
When you use a control knob to turn on
a surface cooking area, the Power
On Light by that knob will glow.
Hot surface indicator lights
The Hot Surface Indicator Lights on the
cooktop surface will glow
when any of the surface
cooking areas are hot. The
Indicator Lights will continue
to glow as long as the surface
cooking areas are too hot to
touch, even after they are
turned off.

12
The ceramic glass cooktop
Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop
is almost the same as cooking on coil
elements. There are, however, a few
differences:
•The surface cooking area will glow red
when the element is turned on. You will
see the element cycling on and off – even
on the HI setting – to help the area stay at
the temperature setting you choose.
•Wiping off the cooktop before and after
each use will help keep the surface free
from stains and give you the most even
heating. See “Cleaning the cooktop” in
the “Caring for Your Range” section.
•Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
•Lift pots and pans onto and off of the
cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the
cooktop could leave marks that are
difficult to remove or could leave
permanent marks.
•Do not cook popcorn that comes in
prepackaged aluminum containers on
the cooktop. The container could leave
aluminum marks on the cooktop that
cannot be removed completely.
•Do not use the cooktop as a cutting
board.
•Do not allow anything that could melt,
such as plastic or aluminum foil, to come
in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.
•Dropping a heavy or hard object on the
cooktop could crack it. Be careful when
using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not
store jars or cans above the cooktop.
•Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.
See “Cleaning the cooktop” in the “Caring
for Your Range” section.
Using the dual-size surface
cooking area
(some models)
You can use the right rear surface cooking
area as either a small diameter, lower
wattage element or large diameter, full
wattage element.

Cookware tips
•Use the correct cookware to prevent
damage to the surface cooking area,
cooktop, wiring, and surrounding areas.
•If the cookware is too small for the
surface cooking area or the bottom is not
flat, the surface cooking area could stay
glowing red for an extended length of time
causing damage to the range.
•If you start cooking on high, it is impor-
tant to turn the control down to a lower
setting to complete cooking.
•Flat-bottomed cookware, including woks,
canners, and teakettles, will provide better
contact with the surface cooking area and
provide the best cooking results.
•Warped, dented, and ribbed-bottomed
cookware can result in uneven cooking
due to incomplete contact with the surface
cooking area.
•Cookware that has been designed with
slightly indented bottoms or small expan-
sion channels can be used.
•Choose medium to heavy gauge
(thickness) cookware.
•The pan material (type of metal or
glass) affects how quickly and evenly
the pan heats.
•Check for rough spots on the bottom of
your metal or glass cookware which could
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
•Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans
are clean and dry before using them. Food
and water particles left on the bottoms can
leave deposits on the cooktop when it is
heated.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or
cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot
surface cooking area. The cookware could
overheat, causing damage to the cookware
or surface cooking area.
Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
Home canning information
•Use flat-bottomed canner/pan.
Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms
do not allow good contact with the
surface cooking area.
•Use the largest surface cooking area
and center the canner/pan on it. A large
diameter canner/pan, if not centered
correctly, can trap heat and cause
damage to the cooktop.
•Do not place your canner/pan on
2 surface cooking areas at the same
time. Too much heat will build up and
damage the cooktop.
•Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
the heat setting to the lowest position
needed to keep water boiling.
•When canning for long periods of
time, alternate use of the surface
cooking areas between batches to allow
the areas to cool down, or prepare food
in small batches.
•Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.

Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
cooking product:
Cooktop
•Match the pan to the surface cooking
area size.
•The pan should have a flat bottom,
straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.
•To help shorten your cooking time, use
the least amount of liquid possible.
•Preheat your pots and pans only when
recommended and for the shortest time
possible.
Caring for your cooktop
Your cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, you need to maintain your
ceramic glass cooktop differently than you
would standard electric open-coil elements.
Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not
burn off as on open-coil elements. Because
of this, you should keep the surface dust
free and soil free before heating.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at the
factory for improved protection and easier
cleaning. The Cooktop Polishing Creme
included with your range, paper towels or a
sponge, and a single-edge razor blade in the
holder are all you need to clean your cooktop.
For proper cleaning methods, please review
“Cleaning tips” later in this section.
Follow them each time you use your
cooktop. This will ensure you get the best
performance out of your cooktop, as well
as preserve that uniquely elegant look.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow
these instructions:
•Remove sugar spills and soils from the
cooktop while the surface is still warm to
avoid pitting on the surface.
•Marks from sliding metal pans on the
cooktop are difficult to remove completely.
Use cooktop polishing creme to clean
the area. Several applications may be
necessary.
•Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning
pads, gritty powdered cleansers, chlorine
bleach, rust remover, ammonia, or glass
cleaning products with ammonia. These
could damage the cooktop surface.

•Start your food on a higher heat setting,
then turn the control to a lower setting to
finish cooking.
•Place a filled pan on the surface cooking
area before turning it on.
Oven
•“Oven peeking” can make cooking
times longer and affect the food quality.
•Rely on a timer to keep track of
cooking time.
•Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the oven by cooking more than one
food at a time, or baking while the oven
is still hot after cooking a meal.
•It is not necessary to preheat the oven
when broiling or roasting, unless your
recipe recommends doing so.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
Cleaning tips
What to use:
•Cooktop Polishing Creme (included
with your range) with paper towel or
clean, damp sponge – This creme has
been developed especially for cleaning
and protecting your cooktop. When using
the creme, follow the instructions on the
container.
•Razor scraper in a holder (not included
with your range) – Use to remove
cooked-on soils from your ceramic glass
cooktop. To avoid scratches, keep the
razor blade as flat against the cooktop as
possible. Store razor blades out of reach
of children.
Steps to follow:
1. Most spills can be wiped off easily using
a paper towel or clean, damp sponge as
soon as the Hot Surface Indicator Light
goes off.
2. For stubborn spills, rub Cooktop
Polishing Creme into cooked-on soil
using a paper towel. If some soil remains,
leave some creme on the spot(s) and
follow Step 3.
3. Carefully scrape spots with the razor
scraper.
4. Finish by polishing entire cooktop
with Cooktop Polishing Creme and

How to keep your cooktop
looking like new:
IF THERE ARE
Sugary spills
and soils (such
as jellies and
candy syrups)
Dark streaks,
specks, and
discoloration
Metal marks
(from copper and
aluminum pans)
Tiny scratches
or abrasions
NOTE: Always wipe your cooktop with clean
water and dry it well after using the cleanser
to prevent streaking or staining.
WHAT TO DO
To prevent pitting on
the cooktop, wipe up
with a paper towel or
clean, damp sponge
while the ceramic
glass surface is still
warm. Remove spills
as soon as possible
after they occur.
Use the Cooktop
Polishing Creme or a
nonabrasive cleanser
with a damp paper
towel or sponge.
Use the Cooktop
Polishing Creme with
a damp paper towel
or sponge before
heating the cooktop
again. If heated
before cleaning,
metal marks may
not come off.
Scratches and
abrasions do not
affect cooking. After
many cleanings, they
will become less
visible. To prevent
scratches and
abrasions, use the
Cooktop Polishing
Creme regularly.
