IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven

door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—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 oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent

is located under the left rear surface element if your

model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is

located below the backguard for models equipped with

ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 the oven vent. These items could melt or

ignite.

• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is 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 oven. Remove all utensils from the rack

before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The

broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and

be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not

cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

Do not attempt to operate the range during a

power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the

range. If the range is not turned off and the power

resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the

power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANT

• Be sure to always have an appropriate foam-type fire

extinguisher available, visible and easily accessible

located near the appliance.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range

by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers,

anti-tip bracket/screws, or any other part of the

range.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it

is to be stored or discarded.

• Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of

the range. Children climbing on the range to reach

items could be seriously injured.

• Do not touch surface heating units or surface

cooking elements, areas near these units or

elements, or interior surfaces of oven. Both

surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot

even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface

cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

other flammable materials touch these areas until they

have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are

the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent

openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door

and oven door window.

• Wear proper apparel — loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires — flour

may be explosive. 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 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 - buildup

of pressure may cause container to burst and

result in injury.

• Storage in or on appliance — to avoid a fire hazard,

flammable materials should not be stored in an

oven, near surface units or in the storage drawer,

warmer drawer or lower oven. This includes paper,

plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware

and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store

explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the

oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended

in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm, and requires

businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such

substances.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention

to the area around each surface element. Do not allow

grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the

manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.

Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols

may ignite causing damage and injury.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• 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 a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot surface.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts

listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self-cleaning

the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or

foods from the oven.

• 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.

• 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.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the

fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating

unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on,

and turn the unit off before removing the pan.

• 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 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 element will also improve

efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surface elements—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 elements unattended at high

heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry

may melt.

• Do not immerse or soak removable heating

elements—Heating elements should never be immersed

in water. Heating elements clean themselves during

normal operation.

• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn

the fan on.

• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.

•Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.

•Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

Types of oven racks

Fig. 1

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the

following oven rack types listed below:

The flat oven rack (some models) may be used for most

cooking needs and may be placed in most rack positions.

The flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used

for most cooking needs. May be placed in most rack

positions. Similar to the flat oven rack but comes with a

built-in handle.

The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional

stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The

offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a

rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in

most oven rack positions.

The half rack (some models) has a removable section to

allow for taller cooking utensils in the oven. When the

removable section is in place, the rack may be used like the

flat oven rack.

The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) instructions

are provided later in this section.

The bottom oven rack (if equipped) should only be used

in the lowest oven rack position. To maximize oven space,

place cookware on the bottom oven rack for example when

roasting large cuts of meat. Do not use the bottom oven

rack in any other oven rack position.

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,

place cookware on rack in positions 2 & 5. For best results

when using a single or an offset oven rack, place cookware

on rack in position 2, 3 or 4.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2 to 4 inches (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. For even heating, hot air

must be able to circulate freely around the pans and

cookware (See Fig. 1).

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Effortless™ Oven Rack system

Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system

that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the

interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food

items. This feature works whenever the oven door is

opened or closed.

Never pick up hot oven rack parts. Make sure the

oven and oven racks are COMPLETLY cool and safe to

touch before attempting to assemble or disassemble the

Effortless™ Oven Rack.

To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:

1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied

oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a

special dark coating on the left and right rack

sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.

2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely

cool before proceeding.

3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see

previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack

connector brackets are at the rear of the range and

pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).

4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven

door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of

the connector arm to the hole in the door connector

bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the

rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The

oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack

position to match the length of the connector arm.

5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the

connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point

upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should

now be locked into position.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.

7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be

sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing

the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of

the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.

REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and accessories before

starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are left in

the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide ability of

the Effortless™ Oven Rack system will be damaged and

will cause oven racks to loose their shiny finish. Remove

ALL oven racks and clean according to instructions

provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual.

• Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should be

used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other rack

in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door

from fully closing and may damage the oven door,

oven cavity or the door connector brackets.

•If the rack system is not assembled with the connector

arms the Effortless™ Oven rack may be used in oven

rack positions 2 thru 7. Do not attempt to use the

Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

About the ceramic glass cooktop

The design pattern on the ceramic cooktop outlines the

area and size of the surface element located just below the

ceramic glass cooktop. Be sure to match the pan size with

the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and use

only quality flat-bottomed cookware.

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.

Element on & hot surface indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of

radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the

backguard — the element on indicator lights and the hot

surface indicator light (See Fig. 1).

About the radiant surface elements

When first turned on, the element temperature rises

gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element

will glow red. To maintain the selected power setting it is

normal for the element to cycle ON and OFF. The element

will retain enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent

heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn the surface element OFF several

minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual

heat to complete the cooking process.

NOTES

indicator

light hot

surface

Fig. 1

• 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 smoothtop. Cycling at

the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the

cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the

cookware bottom is not flat.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic

glass cooktop care in the Care & Cleaning and Before

You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Manual.

The element on indicator lights are located on the

control panel above each radiant element control knob and

will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick

glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check

to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The hot

surface indicator light located on the control panel will

glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will

remain on

until the glass cooktop has cooled to a

MODERATE level.

Types of cooktop elements

The patterns provided on the ceramic glass surface outlines

the size, shape and type of element available at each

position on the cooktop. The single radiant element will

have a single round outline pattern.

The versatile dual radiant element (some models) will have

a dual ring pattern marked on the cooktop. This element

allows the user to set the smaller inner portion only or both

the inner and outer portions may be set to heat together.

The keep warm zone (some models) should always be

used to keep already cooked foods warm. This element is

located at the center rear position (Fig. 2).

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel

coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting

point of some cookware types may be reached if left

empty on the cooktop while heating. If the cookware

melts it could bond to and damage the cooktop! Be sure

to follow all the cookware manufacturer’s suggestions

when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Fig. 2

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the

setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow

the recommendations for using proper cookware as

illustrated.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact

with the entire surface element (See Fig. 1). Check for

flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the

cookware (Fig. 2). For additional information about the

ceramic cooktop see "Cooktop Cleaning" and "Cooktop

Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.

Cookware material types for the cooktop

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 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).

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast iron - A slow 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.

11

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that

can melt to make contact with the cooktop when

hot. If these items melt on the cooktop they may

damage the ceramic cooktop.

•Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled

after they have been turned off. The glass surface

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass

surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt

and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These

items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or

wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to

the surface elements.

The suggested settings found in Fig.1 below are based

when surface cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans

with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Suggested power level settings for single or dual

radiant elements

Settings Type of cooking

High (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a

boil, pan broiling

Medium high (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry

Medium (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces

and gravies or

steam vegetables

Medium Low (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew

Low (LO - 1) Keep warm, melt, simmer

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

• The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and

type of food being cooked will influence the setting

needed for best cooking results.

• The element on indicator lights will glow when one or

more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these

indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy

check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The

hot surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER

the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will

glow until the heating surface area has cooled

sufficiently.

Single radiant surface elements

To operate a single radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on a single radiant

surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either

direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (See the

suggested power level settings for single or dual

radiant elements in Fig. 1).

3. When finished cooking, turn the radiant surface

element OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then

turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs

do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the

graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as

needed.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

You may switch from either single or dual element setting

at any time while cooking. For power level

recommendations see the suggested power level

settings for single or dual radiant elements provided

on the page for single element instructions.

To operate a dual radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface

element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise

(See Fig. 1) to begin heating both the inner and outer

portions of the dual element. If only the inner heating

portion is needed for smaller cookware, push in and

turn the knob counter-clockwise (See Fig. 2).

3. When finished cooking, turn the dual radiant surface

element OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then

turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control

knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark.

Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as

needed.

A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the

bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too

small for the surface heating area.

Dual radiant surface elements (some models)

• The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and

type of food being cooked will influence the setting

needed for best cooking results.

• The element on indicator lights will glow when one or

more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these

indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy

check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The

hot surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER

the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will

glow until the heating surface area has cooled

sufficiently.

NOTES

•Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled

after they have been turned off. The glass surface

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass

surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt

and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These

items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or

wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to

the surface elements.

CAUTION

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that

can melt to make contact with the cooktop when

hot. If these items melt on the cooktop they may

damage the ceramic cooktop.

Keep warm zone (some models)

The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked

foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature

to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies,

casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe

dinner plates.

Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat

cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the

warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain

quality.

For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the

cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may

melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended

for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone

recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a

particular food is not listed, start with the medium level,

2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The keep

warm zone will remain hot until the indicator light

turns OFF. •Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will

not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always use

potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the

cooktop including the keep warm zone as cookware

and plates will be hot.

•Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled

after they have been turned off. The glass surface

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass

surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt

and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

Home canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when

home canning using your appliance.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom. Be sure the

cookware has no ridges that radiate from the bottom

center when home canning using a ceramic cooktop.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water

to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest

possible setting to maintain that boil.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not

exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element

markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller

diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass

cooktops.

• When using two canners at the same time, stagger the

canners on the left and right sides of the cooktop. This

will help distribute the heat generated more evenly.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different

surface cooking areas at the same time. This may cause

the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Be sure to review the latest online information for home

canning. Some suggestions might be the

U.S. Department

of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service

or the

National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP).

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Quick bake (some models)

Benefits of the quick bake feature

— Foods will cook faster, saving time and energy.

— Multiple rack baking.

— No special pans or bakeware needed.

How quick bake works

Quick bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved

heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning

results. It also gives better baking results when using two

racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in

juices and flavors. Meats cooked with quick bake are

juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender

and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more

evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked

faster and more evenly with quick bake.

Suggestions for quick bake

When baking

•For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,

biscuits and breads.

•Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum

recommended cook time.

• When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in

positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).

When roasting

•Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

quick bake.

•Since quick bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook

time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your

recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary,

increase cook time until the desired doneness is

obtained.

•Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent

the air from circulating around the food.

Setting quick bake

The oven may be programmed to quick bake at any

temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The

factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F

(177°C).

To set quick bake:

1. Press . "— — —" appears in the display.

2. Press the or keypad. The display will show

350°F (177°C). By pressing or holding down

the or keypad, the temperature may be

adjusted in 5°F increments (1°C if the control is set to

display Celsius). Release the keypad when the desired

temperature appears in the display.

3. As soon as the or keypad is released, the oven

will begin heating to the selected temperature. When

the displayed temperature reaches the desired baking

temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF

and the control will beep 3 times.

To stop quick bake at any time, press .

To change the oven temperature after quick bake

has started:

1. Press keypad.

2. If necessary, press the or keypad to increase

or decrease the oven set temperature.

NOTES

• Layer cakes will have better results using the bake

feature.

• When using quick bake (some models) cook time

reductions may vary depending on the amount and type

of food being cooked.

† The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, "Rare fresh

beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to

only 140°F/60°C means some food poisoning organisms

may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen

Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature

recommended by the USDA is 145°F/63°C for medium

rare fresh beef.

Easy probe

For the best results when cooking

many foods such as roasts, hams

or poultry, use the easy probe

feature. This feature also works

well with foods such as meat loaf

and casseroles.

The easy probe will provide you

with the internal temperature of

the food during cooking and

eliminates any need for

guesswork.

For some foods, especially poultry

or roasts, checking the internal

temperature is the best way to

insure properly cooked food.

• Use only the probe originally provided with this

appliance. Connecting any other probe or device to

the probe receptacle could result in damage to the

oven control, electronics and the probe receptacle.

•To avoid damaging the probe, handle the probe

carefully when inserting and removing from food or the

probe receptacle. Do not use tongs to pull on the

probe or probe cable. Always defrost frozen foods

completely before inserting the probe into food.

•When removing the probe from the receptacle or food,

always remove using the probe handles (Fig. 1).

•Remove the probe from the oven when finished. To

avoid damaging the probe do not store the probe

inside the oven.

•Always double check that the probe is removed from

the oven interior before starting self-clean. The probe

is not designed to withstand the high temperatures

produced during a self-clean cycle.

• Do not use the probe without the probe properly

inserted into the probe receptacle and the food. To

protect the probe when inserted in the receptacle, the

oven will automatically turn OFF if the probe

temperature sensor reaches 300°F (149°C) or more.

Minimum internal cooking temperatures:

Food type Internal Temp.

Beef, veal, lamb-roasts, steak & chops

Information courtesy the U.S. Department of Agriculture

Food Safety and Inspection Service.

Provided below are the minimum internal temperatures

that foods must reach to be considered safe to eat, no

matter how you prepare them.

•Do not remove the probe from receptacle or food until

the desired internal temperature is reached. If the

probe is removed from the receptacle the probe feature

will automatically cancel but the oven will remain ON. If

the probe is removed from the food only, the internal

food temperature reading will no longer be accurate.

•The easy probe feature cannot be set when broil or

self-clean is active. If the probe is inserted into the

receptacle and the broil or self-clean keypad is pressed,

the oven control will sound a triple beep error message

and the oven will not activate.

•If the probe is disconnected from the receptacle and

the easy probe keypad is pressed, the display will

show "- - -" (about 3 seconds), indicating the probe is

not active.

To avoid the possibility of burns after cooking, always

use caution when disconnecting the probe from the

receptacle or food. The probe may be hot. Be sure to

use a pot holder to protect hands.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Easy probe (cont’d) To set easy probe:

1. Prepare food and properly insert the probe sensor into

the middle portion of the food (See Figs. 2 & 3). The

probe should be inserted into the food before starting

the cooking process and while the oven is still cool.

2. Place the prepared food on desired oven rack position

and slide rack completely inside the oven.

3. Insert the probe connector completely into the probe

receptacle (Fig. 1) located at the upper left front side of

the oven interior.

4. In a few seconds a tone will sound and the indicator

light located above the easy probe keypad will turn ON

indicating that the probe is functioning correctly.

5. Close the oven door. Set the oven for bake or quick

bake and if needed, adjust to the desired baking

temperature.

6. To display the internal food temperature press

temperature will appear for about 3 seconds and the

display will revert back to the set oven temperature.

From time to time during the cooking process, press the

easy probe keypad to check on the internal food

temperature, especially as the temperature approaches

the desired target.

7. When the desired internal food temperature is reached,

press cancel to stop bake or quick bake.

8. Open oven door and using a pot holder carefully unplug

the probe from the probe receptacle. The range interior,

probe, cookware and food may be very hot.

9. Remove food from oven and carefully remove the probe

sensor from the food.

•Always insert the probe so that the probe tip rests in the

center of the thickest part of meat or food. For best

results, do not allow probe temperature sensor tip to

contact any bone, fat, gristle or the cookware.

•For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center

of lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat

loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food.

(See Fig. 2).

•When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.

•For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe temperature

sensor into the thickest part of inner thigh, below the leg

(See Fig. 3).

Proper probe placement in food:

Fig. 1

Should the oven control display the error message "PErr",

it may be that the probe connector is not fully inserted into

the probe receptacle (see Fig. 1) or that the probe has

overheated. When this message displays, the control will

not allow any oven feature to activate until corrected.

Remove the probe from the receptacle, then reconnect

probe into the receptacle (check that it is fully inserted

into the receptacle). Be sure the probe sensor is covered by

food and not exposed to avoid overheating.

If the probe is properly connected into the receptacle and

properly positioned into the food but the error message

remains displayed, the probe might be defective and need

replaced. If so, remove the probe from the oven and call

your authorized service agent for assistance. You may

continue to use the oven without the probe feature.

clean do not

clean

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself using high temperatures

that are well above normal cooking temperatures. The

clean feature, if used properly, will eliminate soils from the

oven completely or reduce them to a fine powdered ash.

Once the oven has cooled, simply wipe away the ash using

a damp cloth.

• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.

•Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.

•Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

Self-clean

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the

fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

The self-clean feature also provides optional cleaning

duration choices. A 3-hour cleaning time for normal

cleaning or a 2-hour clean for lighter soils.

Read before starting self-clean

•Remove all items from the oven and cooktop,

including food, cookware, utensils, plastic and any

aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high

temperatures generated during a self-clean cycle.

•Remove all oven racks and any accessories from

the oven to avoid possible heat damage. If the oven

racks are not removed they may discolor. The

Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) must be

removed before starting self-clean to avoid damaging

the glide ability of the rack.

•Be sure the oven vent area is clear.

•Remove all items from the lower storage drawer

(some models) or warming drawer (some models).

•Be sure the oven light shield is in place. Turn off the

oven light.

• Remove any excessive spillovers. Spills on the

oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before

starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water

and a cloth. Large food spillovers can cause heavy

smoke or a fire during self-clean.

•Remove any food spills from oven that have a high

sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,

sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) before starting a

self-clean cycle. If they are not removed they may

leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.

•Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door

liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area

at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean using

soap and water before starting self-clean. These areas

(See Fig. 1) heat sufficiently to burn soil on.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).

Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door

gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door

gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to

rub, damage or remove the gasket.

See Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance in the Care & Cleaning section.• Ceramic cooktop

29

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to

maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you

use an abrasive cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products

that have been specifically designed for cooktops.

To maintain the cooktop appearance :

• Never slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop

surface.

• DO NOT use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on

bottoms. Replace with clean flat bottom cookware before

using on the cooktop.

• Never use the ceramic cooktop as a cutting board or

work surface in the kitchen.

• Never cook foods directly on the cooktop surface.

• DO NOT drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass

cooktop, this may cause it to crack.

For light to moderate soil- Apply a few drops of glass-

ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a

paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch

cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure

the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil- Apply a few drops of glass-

ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the

soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch

cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the

pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor

blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the

surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning

cream and buff surface clean.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of

the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new

appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch

cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled

from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a

protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and

abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the

cooktop can leave metal markings on the surface. These

marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop

has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks

can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or

dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

To avoid possible burns, be sure the surface controls are

turned OFF and the cooktop is cool before cleaning

the cooktop.

Cooktop maintenance Cooktop cleaning

Removing plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled

or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent

damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur

if not removed immediately. After turning the surface

elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula

with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as

illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same

method for heavy or burned on soils.

IMPORTANT

30°

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.

The fumes can be hazardous to your health and

can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the

cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when

using the cooktop, the utensil be damaged or destroyed,

and may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass

surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

•Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as

metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the

cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

•Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,

ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor

the cooktop.

•Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they

can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and

cause discoloration.
