For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the kick panel or storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot. If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door. Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury. 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. The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: ■ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. ■ Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference. ■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. ■ Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. ■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury. 3 Customer Service ■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions. ■ Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. Troubleshooting Tips Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes. Care and Cleaning IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE Operating Instructions All ranges can tip and injury could result. Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken. ■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. ■ CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range— children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. Care and Cleaning ■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns. ■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Troubleshooting Tips ■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. ■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Customer Service ■ Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. ■ For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. ■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. ■ Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. ■ Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door. ■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened. ■ Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. ■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires. ■ Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range. ■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range. ■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range. ■ Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range. COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY… 4 Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness. Safety Instructions RADIANT SURFACE UNITS Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency. ■ Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature. ■ Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware. ■ When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. ■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off. ■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. ■ Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added. ■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. ■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. ■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments; rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing. ■ Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns. ■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass cooktop section. ■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop. ■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot. ■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning cream residue. ■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels. 5 Customer Service ■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly. ■ Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. Troubleshooting Tips ■ Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings. ■ Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board. Care and Cleaning ■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units. ■ Do not operate the radiant surface units if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken. Operating Instructions ■ Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. WARNING! OVEN Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes. ■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. ■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed. ■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup. ■ Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements. ■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions. Care and Cleaning ■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. ■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire. ■ Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite. ■ Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. ■ Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. SELF-CLEANING OVEN Troubleshooting Tips 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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used. ■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. ■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician. ■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, grid and other cookware. ■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual. Customer Service ■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation. Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

Customer Service 11 Safety Instructions To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on. Before you begin… The shelves have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out until it stops. To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out. The oven has 6 shelf positions. Troubleshooting Tips CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the shelf in the lowest position (A). To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in. How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Using the oven. Press the BAKE pad. Type of Food Press the number pads to set the desired temperature.

Shelf Position D Angel food cake, bundt or pound cakes C or D Biscuits, muffins, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies C or D Casseroles C or D Turkey A Preheating and Pan Placement Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Center baking pans in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 15–20 minutes. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to 11⁄2″ of air space around it. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other. Customer Service Aluminum Foil You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Cut slits in the foil just like the grid. 12 Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling. Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food. Safety Instructions How to Set the Oven for Broiling Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide.

Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees. NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! To Adjust the Thermostat Press the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF. Press the BAKE pad. A two digit number shows in the display. Press BAKE once to decrease (-) the oven temperature, or twice to increase (+). When you have made the adjustment, press the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally. The type of margarine will affect baking performance! Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product. Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become. Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry. Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom. Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off. IMPORTANT: 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. Touch the SELF CLEAN pad. Using the number pads, enter the desired clean time, if a time other than 4 hours is needed. Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours.

Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the range. Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range. If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury. To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface. NOTE: The plastic tape (on some models) must be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on. Control Knobs Molded rib Spring clip check the OFF position to insure proper placement. Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs are in the OFF position. When replacing the knobs, Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak. The knob stem has a groove in each side. The groove on one side has a spring clip. The other groove is clear (see illustration). Check the inside of the knob and find the molded rib. Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside the knob into the clear groove on the stem. The knob stem is flat on one side (see illustration). Check the inside of the knob and find the molded flat area. Replace the knob by fitting the molded flat area inside the knob onto the flat area of the stem. Care and Cleaning Groove Stem The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Operating Instructions How to Remove Packaging Tape Clear groove in stem Molded flat area Flat Oven Vent The oven vent is located behind the right rear surface unit. The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent. 19 Customer Service This area could become hot during oven use. It is normal for steam to come out of the vent and moisture may collect underneath it when the oven is in use. Troubleshooting Tips Flat Stem Painted Surfaces Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the range (cont.). Control Panel ■ Clean up splatters with a damp cloth. ■ You may also use a glass cleaner. ■ Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water. ■ Do not use abrasives of any kind.

Lift-Off Oven Door The oven door is removable for easier access to the light bulb. Do not lift the door by the handle. To remove the door: Fully open the door. Pull the hinge locks down to the unlocked position. Each hinge has a hinge lock. Using a tool, pull the hinge locks down against the door frame. Firmly grasp the door at the top sides. Close the door to the stop position. Once in position, open the door completely. Push the hinge locks back in towards the front frame. To clean the inside of the door: ■ Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. ■ The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soapfilled steel wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. Firmly grasp the door at the top sides. This is critical. ■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings. Approach the range with the door angled in a vertical position. ■ If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. To replace the door: The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation. Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced. Customer Service Troubleshooting Tips To clean the outside of the door: Lift the door up and pull straight out. ■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse. ■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
