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, electrical 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

Range Safety
•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 cooktop
and surfaces facing the cooktop.
•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 Cooktop –
If cooktop should break, cleaning solu-
tions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cook-top and create a risk
of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
•Clean Cooktop 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –
For self-cleaning ranges –
•Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
•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.
•Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
•Before Self-Cleaning the Oven –
Remove broiler pan and other utensils.
For units with ventilating hood –
•Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently –
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on hood or filter.
•When flaming foods under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flame.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
Using the dual-size surface
cooking area
(on 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.
To use both elements
(for larger pans):
•Push in and turn the control knob to the
right (clockwise) to the desired setting in
the area marked “DUAL.”
NOTE: You can turn the control knob in
either direction to reach “OFF.”
To use the small element
(for smaller pans):
•Push in and turn the control knob to the
left (counterclockwise) to the desired
setting in the area marked “SINGLE.”

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is
almost the same as cooking on coil surface
units. There are, however, a few differences:
•The cooking surface 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.
•Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans
are clean and dry before cooking. Food
and water particles left on the bottoms can
leave deposits on the cooktop when it is
heated.
•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 the “Cleaning tips” 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 alumi-
num 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.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
Cookware tips
• Select a pan that is about the same size
as the surface cooking area. Cookware
should not extend more than 1 inch
(2.5 cm) outside the area.
• For best results and greater energy
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed
cookware that makes good contact with
the surface cooking area. Cookware with
rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some
porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms
could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
• Cookware designed with slightly indented
bottoms or small expansion channels can
be used.
• Cookware with non-stick finish has
heating characteristics of the base material.
• Check for rough spots on the bottom of
metal or glass cookware which will scratch
the ceramic glass surface.
•Use flat bottom cookware for best heat
conduction from the surface cooking area
to the cookware. Determine flatness with
the ruler test. Place the edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. Hold it
up to the light. No light should be visible
under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all
directions and look for any light.
• Do not leave empty cookware, or
cookware that has boiled dry, on a hot
surface cooking area. The cookware
could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or the surface cooking area.
Characteristics of cookware materials
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan
material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the
best cooking results.
Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Ceramic or
ceramic glass • Heats slowly and unevenly.
• Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel
or enamel-on-cast iron • See cast iron and stainless steel.
Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware
provides even heating.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

13
Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
•Use the entire surface (“DUAL” setting) of
the right rear surface cooking area for best
results.
•Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of
cooktops, especially ceramic glass.
Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do
not allow good contact with the surface.
•Center the canner over the largest surface
cooking area. Do not extend more than 1
inch (2.5 cm) outside the surface cooking
area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not
centered correctly, will trap heat and result
in damage to the cooktop. Do not place on
two surface cooking areas at the same
time.
•The type of material the canner is made of
determines the length of heating time.

Home canning information
Caring for your cooktop
This cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, ceramic glass cooktops need
to be maintained differently than standard
electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly
on the cooktop will not burn off as on coil
elements. Because of this, the surface should
be dust-free and soil-free before heating.
Refer to the “Characteristics of cookware
materials” chart for more information.
•When canning for long periods of time,
allow elements and the surrounding
surfaces to cool down.
•Alternate use of the surface cooking areas
between batches or prepare small batches
at a time.
•Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and
bring to a boil; then reduce heat to main-
tain a boil or required pressure levels in a
pressure canner.
•For up-to-date information on canning,
contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office
or companies who manufacture home
canning products.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at
the factory for improved protection and
cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme,
a paper towel or a sponge is all you need to
clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning
methods, please review the “How to keep
your cooktop looking like new” chart. Follow
this chart after each use to ensure top
performance and to preserve that uniquely
elegant look.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
NOTE: Always wipe and dry your cooktop
thoroughly after using cleanser to prevent
streaking or staining.
Cleaning tips
What to use:
•Cooktop Polishing Creme included with
your cooktop with a paper towel or clean,
damp sponge. This creme has been
developed especially for cleaning and
polishing your cooktop. When using, follow
instructions on container.
•Razor scraper – 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.
•Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning
pads, abrasive powdered cleansers,
chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia,
or glass cleaning products with ammonia.
These products could damage the cooktop
surface.
Steps to follow:
1. Most spills can be wiped off easily
using a paper towel or clean, damp
sponge as soon as 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 a
paper towel.
To order Cooktop Polishing Creme
(Part No. 3184477) or Razor Scraper (Part
No. 3183488), call 1-800-422-1230 (in
Canada, 1-800-461-5681) and follow the
