Important Safety Instructions

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 aportion 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 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 aventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

•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.

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 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.

About the Radiant Surface 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 and

Before You Call checklist sections of this Use and Care Guide.

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.

e

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.

Setting Surface Controls

Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

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

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.

To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (some models)

The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as asimmer element, The "Simmer Select" feature heatsthe element

at a much lower temperature and more precisely than when used as a normal surface element, You mayswitch between normal cooking

and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking process, When using the element control for normal cooking, all of the

settings on the control knob (LO to HI) function as normal,

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

red when it is hot.

Always use pothoiders or oven mitts when removing food from

the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone Control

1. To set the control, push in either direction and turn the knob. The

temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO.

However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for

different levels of heating.

2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warmer Zone will remain warm

until the hot surface indicator light goes off.

Temperature Selection - Refer to the chart at the side column for

recommended heating levels. If a particular food is not listed, start with the

medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving

temperatures by using the medium level.

9

Surface Cooking

Using proper cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good

contact with the entire surface heating element. Check

for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the

cookware (See Fig.l).

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using

cookware as shown in Fig. 2.

Note: The size and type of cookware used wilt influence

the setting needed for best cooking results.

Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the

surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool,

the food wilt absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is

too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center

will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too

much food at once as the food will neither brown nor

cook properly.

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.

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.

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.

[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 Scotch-

Brite® 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.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance

must be accessible for service.

and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make

appliance accessible.

Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/CLEAR to clear the display

and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press STOP/

CLEAR and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® for assistance (See back cover).

cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of

the material affect heating. Heavy and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because

lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

this Before You Call checklist.
