Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Do not attempt to install or operate your appliance until you

have read the safety precautions in this manual. Safety

items throughout this manual are labeled with a WARNING

or CAUTION statement based on the risk type.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, may result in death

or serious injury.

Save these instructions for future reference.

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to

potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages

that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

IMPORTANT

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor

or moderate injury.

IMPORTANT indicates installation, operation,

maintenance or valuable information that is not hazard

related.

Definitions

• Remove all tape and packaging before using the

range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after

unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with

packaging material.

• Proper installation—Be sure your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified

technician in accordance with the National Electrical

Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local

electrical code requirements. Install only per

installation instructions provided in the literature package

for this range.

Important Safety Instructions

• User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part

of the appliance unless specifically recommended in

the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a

qualified technician. This may reduce the risk of personal

injury and damage to the range.

• Verify the anti-tip device has

been installed to floor or wall.

To check if the anti-tip bracket is installed properly, use

both arms and grasp the rear edge of range back.

Carefully attempt to tilt range forward. When properly

installed, the range should not tilt forward.

Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation instructions

supplied with your range for proper installation.

• Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged when

the range is moved to floor or wall.

• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip

device in place and engaged.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death or serious burns to children and adults.

Range

leveling leg Anti-Tip

bracket

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and

an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the

power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in

case of an emergency.

• Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or

drawers of a range can result in serious injuries

and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT

allow children to climb or play around the range. The

weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the

range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE — to avoid injuries

or burns children should not be left alone or

unattended in the area where the range is in use.

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part

of the range including the storage drawer, lower broiler

drawer, lower oven or warmer drawer.

• To avoid a possible fire hazard, never use your

appliance for warming or heating the room.

CAUTION

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

• 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

CAUTION

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

CAUTION

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

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 Space Wise® half oven 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 (some models) 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 and

baking results, hot air must be able to circulate freely

around the cookware (Fig. 1).

Effortless™ Oven Rack system (some models)

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.

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.

IMPORTANT

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

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.

IMPORTANT

Remove ALL oven racks and accessories before

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

the oven during self-clean, 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.

CAUTION

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Fig. 1

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 in Figs. 1 & 2.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact

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

rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Fig. 2).

For more 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.

•Flat bottom and straight

sides.

•Curved or warped

cookware.

•Handle tilts cookware.

•Cookware larger than

cooking are marked on

cooktop by more than one-

half inch or 12mm.

•Cookware smaller than

cooking are marked on

cooktop.

•Tight fitting lids.

•Pan size matches the

amount of food to be

prepared and the size of

the surface element.

•Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced.

•Made of material that

conducts heat well.

•Always match cookware

diameter to element

marking on cooktop.

•Easy to clean.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

The right and left rear single radiant element positions will

be marked on the cooktop with a round outline pattern

shown (See Fig. 1).

cooking zone

Located under the surface of the glass ceramic cooktop are

radiant surface elements. The design patterns on the

cooktop outlines the size of the heating area for each

surface element. 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 power level 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.

About the surface elements

When activated, the surface element temperature rises

gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element

will glow red. To maintain the selected power setting the

element will cycle ON and OFF. The element will retain

enough heat to provide a uniform heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn the element OFF several minutes

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

The Space Wise® Bridge Element feature allows the user

to set the left front cooking element alone or along with the

middle (bridge portion) and if desired add the left rear

element into one combined cooking zone (Fig. 1). The left

front and left rear elements may also be used as single

independent heating elements whenever needed.

Power Plus® Boil feature (some models)

Your appliance may be equipped with one or more surface

elements on the cooktop marked power plus boil. Use this

element position when bringing a large amount of liquid to

temperature or when preparing larger amounts of food.

• Radiant elements have a limiter that will make the

element cycle ON and OFF, even at the high setting.

This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.

Cycling at the high setting is normal and will occur more

frequently if the cookware is too small for the radiant

element or if the cookware bottom is warped.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for "Cooktop

Maintenance" and "Cooktop Cleaning"in the Care &

Cleaning section.

The keep warm zone will 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.

• The HE (hot element) message will appear in the display

windows once a heating element is turned OFF and will

remain ON until the heating surface area or areas have

cooled sufficiently.

• Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that

can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass

cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they can

damage the ceramic cooktop.

CAUTION

Home canning

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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).

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can

melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop.

If these items melt on the cooktop they can 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.

Convect roast

Convect

Fig. 1

The convect feature uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution

allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. Heated

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

and flavors. Convect provides better results when baking

using multiple oven racks. Most foods cooked with a bake

setting will cook faster and more evenly when using the

convect features.

Benefits of the convection features

— Foods cook more evenly

— Multiple rack baking

— No special pans or bakeware needed

Suggestions for convect baking

•For optimum results it is recommended to preheat the

oven before baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and

breads.

•Reduce the oven temperature 25°F from the 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 (Fig. 1).

1. Press convect.

2. Press start.

To set convect bake with a default oven set

temperature of 350°F:

Step Press

Convect bake

• When using the convect features, any cook time

reductions used may need to vary depending on the

oven set temperature.

• When baking layer cakes, use the bake feature to

obtain the best possible results.

•If the oven door is opened when a convect feature is

active, the convect fan will stop rotating until the oven

door is closed.

NOTES

To stop convect bake at any time press cancel.

1. Press convect.

2. Press convect again.

3. Press start.

To set convect roast with a default oven set

NOTE

Suggestions for convect roasting

•Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

convect roast.

•Since convect roast cooks faster, reduce cook times by

25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check

the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time

until the desired doneness is obtained.

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

the meat from browning properly.

When selecting the different convect features, use the

convect keypad to toggle between the choices.

To stop convect roast at any time press cancel.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Slow cook

The slow cook feature may be used to cook foods more

slowly and at lower oven temperatures. Slow cook provides

cooking results much the same way as a crock-pot or slow

cooker.

The slow cook feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork &

poultry. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior of

meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal.

Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

•Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the

slow cook feature.

•When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack

position 2 or 3.

•Position multiple racks to accommodate the size of

cooking utensils when cooking multiple food items at the

same time.

•Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open

when checking foods. If enough oven heat escapes, the

slow cook time may need to extended.

•Cover foods to keep them moist or use a loose or vented

type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

•Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur.

Cook times will likely vary; depending on the weight, fat

content, bone and the shape of the roast.

•Use the recipe’s recommended food temperature and a

food thermometer to determine when the food is done.

•Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the

slow cook feature.

•Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of

cooking.

To set slow cook:

Step Press

1. Position oven racks and cookware in oven.

Close the oven door.

2. Press slow cook keypad. Hi will appear in

the oven display indicating the default setting

is for high. If a low setting is needed, press

slow cook keypad again to select

the Lo setting.

3. Press start to activate.

To stop slow cook at any time press cancel.

FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let food sit for

more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so

can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can

easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry,

should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when

chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than

1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed

promptly when finished cooking.

slow

cook

Two settings are available for slow cook, high (Hi) or low

• 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.

Preparing for 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.

IMPORTANT

Read before starting self-clean

•Remove all items from the oven and cooktop,

including food, cookware, utensils, plastic and any

aluminum foil and temp probe (if equipped).

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 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.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners or protective

coatings of any kind inside oven. Residue from oven

cleaners may damage the porcelain during the next

self-clean cycle.

Your oven provides three self-cleaning duration choices. A

3-hour cleaning time for normal cleaning; a 2-hour clean

for lighter soils and a 4-hour option for heavier burnt-on

soils (some models).

CARE & CLEANING

Cleaning recommendation table

Surface type Recommendation

• Easy Care™ stainless

steel (some models)

Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove most spots.

Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover

difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse

with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled no-

scratch cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food

spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices

or pie filling) to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after

cleaning.

• Control panel

• Control key pad membrane

• Decorative trim (some models)

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils

and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on

soil for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive

cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control

knobs, turn to OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To

replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then

push knob into place.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate oven lockout

(on some models) and if needed remove any knobs from panel. Do not use

abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot,

soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth

before wiping control panel; especially when wiping around the controls area.

Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance.

When rinsing, use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess

water from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.

• Control knobs (some models)

• Painted body parts

• Painted decorative trim

• Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim

pieces

If your range finish is Easy Care™ stainless steel (some models), clean the

stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with

clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought

cleaners like stainless steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing

any abrasive, chloride, chlorine or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild

dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

Remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting self-

clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door

gasket. For very important preparation information be sure to read all the

instructions in the self-cleaning section.

• Oven interior

• Oven racks

• Oven door

Oven racks must be removed from oven. Do not clean oven racks in

oven during the self-clean cycle. Remove and clean using a mild, abrasive

cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Thoroughly rinse and dry.

Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door.

Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door.

Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the

glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven

door. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-cleaning models the oven

door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal.

Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

Refer to "Cooktop maintenance" and "Cooktop cleaning" in the Care &

Cleaning section.

• Ceramic cooktop

CARE & CLEANING

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to

maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Do not:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;

replace with clean cookware before using.

• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in

the kitchen.

• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface or without

using cookware.

• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop,

they may cause it to crack.

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 cause metal markings on the cooktop 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 (with cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough

or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Cooktop maintenance

IMPORTANT

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 (as illustrated) and

scrape the soil from the hot surface. Allow the cooktop to

cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on

soils.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

Cooktop cleaning

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.

30°

CAUTION

The interior oven light is located at the rear oven cavity and

is covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in

place whenever the oven is in use (See Fig. 1).

Replacing the oven interior light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug

the appliance.

2. Remove interior oven light shield (See Fig. 1).

3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type 40 Watt Halogen

appliance bulb. Please note: do not allow your fingers

to touch the new bulb when replacing. This will shorten

the life of the bulb. Use a paper towel while handling

the new bulb when installing.

4. Replace glass oven light shield.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug

the appliance back in).

6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.

CARE & CLEANING

Aluminum foil and oven liners

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.

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

•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.

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.

Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)

Replacing the oven light

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL

before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove

for protection against possible broken glass.

Using a liner in the oven

restricts the heat and

air flow needed to

obtain the best possible

cooking results for any

oven, including the

warmer drawer (on

some models).

Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to cover

the oven bottom or any oven racks.

Aluminum foil and oven liners (cont’d)

During self-clean the oven temperature can become hot

enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum foil

if left in the oven. This could result in permanent damage

to the oven interior porcelain finish.
