Surface Unit
Indicator lights
One of the surface unit indicator
lights on the control panel will glow
when a surface unit is on.
Control knobs must be pushed in
before turning them to a setting. They
can be set anywhere between HI
and OFF.
Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best
results, start cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to
continue cooking.
Use HI to start Use MED-HI Use MED for

Solid element surface units
Before using a solid element surface unit for the first time, heat on HI setting for
five minutes. The surface units will give off smoke as the protective coating,
applied at the factory, finishes bonding to the surface.
Solid element surface units are made of heavy cast-iron to provide even
cooking. Each surface unit has a built-in protective limiter as a safety feature.
The limiter senses uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduces
the heat level. The limiter will sense uneven heat when a pan boils dry or when
a pan is removed and the surface unit is left on. The heat level may also be
reduced automatically if the bottom of the pan is not flat or if the pan is too
large or too small for the element. This will result in longer cooking times.
Solid elements hold heat longer than conventional surface units. For best
cooking results, use a high setting for only a short period of time. Then use a
lower setting to complete the cooking. You may want to turn the solid
element surface unit OFF a few minutes before you finish cooking.
Burn, Fire and Personal Property Damage Hazard
l Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and all indicator lights are
OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire
could start if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.
l Solid elements stay hot for a long time. Do not use the HI setting for
long periods of time or leave pans on hot elements when cooking is
done. Burned food and damage to the cookware could result.
Cookware
Pans should be the same size or larger than the surface unit to prevent
boil-overs and hot handles.
Use only flat-bottomed utensils. Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between
the pans and surface units for fast, even cooking. Pans with uneven bottoms or
with raised patterns on the bottoms are not suitable. Do not use trivets, woks
with skirts, or canners with concave or ridged bottoms.
To check your cookware for flatness, place a straight-edge across the bottom
of each piece. Rotate the straight-edge across the bottom. If light shows any-
where between the pan and the straight-edge, the pan is not flat. Do not use it.
See the Cooking Guide for additional cookware information.
Burn Hazard
If the pan is too small for the surface unit, you could be burned by
the heat from the exposed section of the surface unit. Use correctly
sized utensils to prevent injury.

Setting the Clock

Adjusting the Oven Temperature Control
Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature of
your old oven may have shifted gradually without your noticing the change.
Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But
when compared to your old oven, the new design may give you different
results.
If after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the
temperature settings, they can be adjusted by following these steps:
1. Pull the Oven Temperature Control
Knob straight off.
NOTCHES TOOTH
I
LOCKING
2. Loosen the locking screws inside
the control knob. Note the posi-
tion of the notches.
TOOTH NOTCHES
1. To lower the temperature, move
the tooth a notch closer to LO.
Each notch equals about 10°F
(SC].
4. To raise the temperature, move
the tooth a notch closer to HI. Each
notch equals about 10°F (5°C).
Tlghten the locking screws and
replace the control knob.

Broiling
1. Position the rack before turning
the oven on. See “Broil Chart” in
the Cooking Guide or a reliable
cookbook for recommended
rack positions.
3. Close the door to the Broil Stop
position (open about 4 inches,
10.2 cm). The door will stay open
by itself.
2. Put the broiler pan and food on
the rack.

Custom Broil
l If food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control counterciock-
wlse until the Oven HEATING Indicator Light goes off.
l If you want the food to broil slower from the start, set the Oven Temperature
Control between 150” and 325°F (65.5” and 162.7”C). The lower the tempera-
ture, the slower the cooking.
The Oven Selector must be on BROIL for all broiling temperatures.
NOTE: The door must be partly open whenever the oven Is set to BROIL.
leaving the door open allows the oven to maintain proper temperatures.

Using The Automatic MEALTIMER’” Clock
The automatic MEALTIMER’” Clock is designed to turn the oven on and off at
times you set, even when you are not around.
Automatic baking is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven,
such as meats and casseroles. Do not use the automatic cycle for cakes,
cookies, etc...undercooking will result.
To delay start and stop automatically:
1. Position the oven rack(s) properly
and place the food in the oven.
3. Push in and turn the StartTime
Knob clockwise to the time you
want baking to start.
2. Make sure the clock is set to the

6. After baklng is done or to stop the oven before the preset time, turn
both the Oven Selector and the Oven Temperature Control to OFF
To avoid sickness and food waste when using the MEALTIMER’” control:
l Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start, such
as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, and cooked meats or fish.
Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold
or frozen before it is put in the oven. MOST UNFROZEN FOODS SHOULD
NEVER STAND MORE THAN TWO HOURS BEFORE COOKING STARTS.
l Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast when using
delay start. They will not rise properly.
l Do not allow food to remain in oven for more than two hours atter
end of cooking cycle.
The OvenVent
Hot air and moisture escape from the
oven through a vent on the back-
guard below the control panel. The
vent is needed for air circulation. Do
not block the vent. Poor baking
can result.
Burn Hazard
When the oven is ON, pans and
pan handles left near the oven
vent can become hot enough to
burn the user and to melt plas-
tics. Use potholders to move
pans. Never store plastics, paper
or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent, or any
of the surface units.

Caring for your range
Control Panel and Knobs
I
Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls are OFF and the range
is cool before cleaning. Failure to do so can
result in burns or electrical shock.
1. Pull knobs straight off.
2. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth, or spray glass cleaner, to wipe the
control panel. Rinse and wipe dry
3. Wash control knobs in warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry. Do not soak.
4. Push control knobs straight back on. Make sure they point to OFF.

Solid Element Surface Units
Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard
Solid element surface units do not glow red when hot. Make sure all
controls are OFF and the range is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do
so can result in burns or electrical shock.
1. Turn off all surface units
3. IMPORTANT: Dry the element
completely after cleaning. Turn on
the element for a few minutes to
thoroughly dry. After the element
has cooled, use a paper towel to
apply a thin coat of salt-free oil to
the surface units to season and re-
store the finish. Wipe excess oil off
stainless steel trim rings. Then heat
3-5 minutes. Some smoking may
occur; this is normal. If surface units
have dark spots caused by grease
and food, the oil treatment will im-
prove their appearance but not
eliminate the spots. NOTE: Optional
Electrol@ dressing can be applied
to the surface units to improve
their appearance.
2. For best results, wipe off surface
units with a damp soft cloth and
soapy water after each use.
Remove burned-on food with a
soap-filled scrubbing pad. Rinse
well. The red spot in the center of
the surface unit will gradually wash
off. This is normal and will not affect
the operation of the surface unit.
NOTE: Make sure plastic scrub-
bing pad does not contain metal
or abrasive particles. Do not use
abrasive cleaners.
4. The stainless steel trim rings will
gradually yellow from the heat of
the surface units and pans. This is
normal. The yellowing can be
removed by using stainless steel
cleaner or Cook Top Polishing
Creme on the trim rings.

CLEAN DOoR CENTER AREA
pots and pans you may have
stored in the oven.
NOTE: The broiler pan (without
grid) can be cleaned in the oven
only if most of the soil has been
removed by hand-cleaning or a
dishwasher. The chrome broiler
grid will discolor if cleaned in the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
Wipe out any loose soil or
grease. This will help reduce smoke
during the Self-Cleaning Cycle.
If the oven has a rotisserie, make
sure the motor socket cover is
closed.
If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean by hand. Cther-
wise, put oven racks on second and
fourth guides (guides are counted
from bottom to top). After racks are
cleaned in the Self-Cleaning Cycle,
they become harder to slide. Apply
a small amount of vegetable oil to
the sides of the racks to make
them easier to slide. See chart on
page 20.
Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the Self-Cleaning Cycle.
This will help remove heat and odors that are normal during the cycle.
Personal Injury and Product Damage Hazard
. Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. It could burn
you.
. Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Cleaners may
produce hazardous fumes or damage the porcelain finish.
l Do not force the lock lever, you could bend or break it. The lever is
designed to stay locked until the oven is cool enough to sately open.
Wait until it moves freely.
l Do not use foil or other liners in the oven. During the Self-Cleaning
cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
l Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move
freely for best cleaning results.
l Do not leave plastic utensils near the vent. They may melt.

Setting the Controls
Be sure the kitchen is ventllated during the Self-Cleaning cycle. This will help
heat, odors and smoke to disappear from the room as quickly as possible.
1. Set the Oven Selector and Oven
Temperature Control on CLEAN.
3. Push in and turn the Stop Time Knob
clockwise 2 or 3 hours.
l Use 2 hours for light soil.
l Use 3 hours or more for moderate
to heavy soil.
NOTE: Make sure the Start Time Knob
is out.
5. The Oven LOCKED Indicator Light
comes on when the oven temper-
ature exceeds normal baking
temperatures. The Lock Lever must
not be moved and the door
can’t be opened when the Oven
LOCKED Indicator Light is on.
18
2. Make sure the Clock, Start and
Stop Times all have the right time
of day.
4. Move the Lock Lever to the right -
the Clean position. The Oven
HEATING and ON Indicator Lights
will come on.
6. After the Self-Cleaning cycle is
completed, the Oven LOCKED
Indicator Light goes off when the
oven reaches normal baking tem-
peratures. Move the Lock Lever
back to the left. Do not force it.
Wait until it moves easily. Turn the
Oven Selector and Oven Temper-
ature Control to OFF
7. After the oven is cool, wipe off
any residue or ash with a damp
cloth. If needed, touch up spots
with a soapy steel wool pad.

Special Tips
l Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help
get rid of heat, odors and smoke.
. Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven
takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.
l Ifthe Self-Cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you expected,
the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have pre-
pared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time
and hand clean areas noted on pagel7.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle
at anytlme:
1. Push in and turn the Stop Time
Knob clockwise until it points to
the right time of day.
2. Turn the Oven Selector and Oven
Temperature Control to OFF When
the Oven LOCKED Indicator Light
goes off, move the Lock Lever
back to the left. DO NOT FORCE IT.
Wait until it moves easily.
How It Works
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for
baking or broiling...approximately 875°F (468”C).This heat breaks up grease
and soil and burns it off.
