INSTRUCTIONS

FOR USING YOUR

IMPORTANT
OVEN

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

•

FOR USING YOUR

• Use Care When Opening 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 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.
• 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.

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 i
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. Checkthe manufacturer's recommendations for cook
top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

SELF CLEANING

INSTRUCTIONS

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 CLEANING

YOUR

RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath 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 manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS

COOK TOP MODELS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spiliovers 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.

About the Ceramic
Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter
of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only
fiat-bottomed cookware should be used. 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.

Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and
evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will
glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the
element will cycle on and off. The heating element
retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic
fixture thermally insulates the heating element,
concentrating heat in the heating zone. For
efficient cooking, turn off the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This wilt
allow residual heat to complete the cooking
process.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning
Before You Call checklist sections of this Use and Care Guide.

and

NOTE: 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 smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is
too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

Your range is equipped with two different surface control lights that will glow on your range-- the
Element On indicator light and a Hot Surface indicator light. The Element On located on the control
panel, will glow when any surface element is turned on. A quick glance at this light after cooking is an
easy check to be sure ait surface controls are turned off. The Hot Surface indicator light, located on
the control panel, wilt glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass
cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. 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. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. 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.
When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the cookware.
Note: the Element On indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on.
A quick glance at the indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be

The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold
food on the Warmer Zone.
All food placed on the Warmer Zone should be covered with a lid or
aluminum foil 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 Warmer Zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the Warmer Zone will not glow

Self-Cleaning
Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above
cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following

cleaning precautions:

DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven 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 any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
Oven racks should be removed. If they are not removed during the
clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or
salad oil (this wilt make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
Remove any excessive spUlovers in the oven cavity before starting
the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Large spiltovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to bum soil on. Clean with soap and water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed.

Baking element
may be tilted about
4 or 5 inches
to clean oven bottom

The bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front
of the bake element. This wilt allow easier access to the oven bottom for
cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from
the resting position.

General Care & Cleaning
Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) to
the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or 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 (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can
mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or
glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board
or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the
cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on
the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

r
[Ir_[=_'_ITjT_'_ Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
_'|v£h_1:t#ll_[_ll 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.

Cleaning Recommendations

for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

For light to moderate
soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite®
Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge 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 CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a 3M ScotchBrite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge 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.
[Ir_["_'_I'_jT_'_ Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use
any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No
Scratch Scrub Sponge.
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.

General Care & Cleaning
Cleaning Recommendations

for Ceramic Glass Cooktops (cont'd)
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass 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.
