IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease
may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only 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 apotholder.
•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers---Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
•Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be
stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--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 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
ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also improve efficiency.
•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units--To reduce the risk of bums,
ignitionof flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it isturned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
•Never Leave Surface Units 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.
•Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place--
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
•Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls, reflector pans, or oven bottom, or any other
part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire.
•Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan
on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
•Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--
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. 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.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance
has not been used for an extended pedod of time, be certain
the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least
3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance

To Operate the Warmer Drawer
Your range is equipped with a warmer drawer. The purpose of the warmer
drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with
hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer.
All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum
foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the
warmer drawer.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be hot.
To Set the Thermostat Control
The thermostat control is used to select the temperature of the warmer

turn the knob to the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and
are designated by HI, MED and LO.
1. Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.
2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer
will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. When done, turn the thermostat control to OFF.
Temperature Selectio_
Refer to the chart for recommended settings. If a particular food is not listed,
start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or
aluminum foil.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.
When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2
vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.
Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat
from the drawer.
The indicator light is located below the thermostat control. It turns on when the

Oven Cleaning
I I •
I ILO
During the self-cleaning
cycle, the Outsideof the range can
become very hot to the touch. DO
NOT leave small children unattended
near the appliance.
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.
!1_ DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part
of the range with aluminum foil. Doing
so will destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).
DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after
the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
CLEAN FRAME
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.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
•Allowthe oven to cool before precleaning.
•Wear rubbergloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue
after the self-clean cycle.
•DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protectivecoatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven.
•DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven matedal of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal, Care should be taken notto rub,
damage or remove the gasket,
•DO NOT use any cleaning materials onthe oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3, Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through
the clean cycle their colorwill turn slightlyblue and the finishwill be dull.
After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
racks withwax paper or a cloth containinga small amount of baby oil or
salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
4. Remove any excess spilloversin the oven cavity before startingthe self-
cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spilloverscan cause heavy smoke or fire when subjectedto high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spillswith a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)to remain on
the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the frontcenter of the oven bottom.These
areas heat sufficientlyto burnsoil on. Clean with soap and water.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth.For more difficult soils
and built-up grease, apply a liquiddetergent directly onto the soil. Leave on
soil for 30 to 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 the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the
shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob
and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the contrelpanel, turn all controlsto OFF and remove the
control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using
hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth.
Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40
minutes. Rinse. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before
wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in
or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Cleaners made
especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of
Magic American Corp., or similar products are recommended. Always follow
the manufacturer's instructions.Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains
may occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after
cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the
knob into place.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring 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 scouring pad.
Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven
cleaners on the cooktop.
Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for
cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue
and the finish wilt be dull. After the self-clean 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 will make the racks glide easier into
the rack positions).
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT
immerse the door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a

Avoid Service Checklist Before you carl for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense.
The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective
workmanship or materials in this appliance.
This oven is equipped withastate of the art electronic oven controller.Among
its many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller
constantly monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits
to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems
fails, the controller will immediately stop operation and begin beeping and
flashing an error code of F1 or F3* in the display window.
OCCURRENCE
