ꢀ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
ꢀ DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
ꢀ DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces
facing the cooktop.
For self-cleaning ranges –
ꢀ Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. 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
burner will also improve efficiency.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
ꢀ Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
ꢀ Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and
other utensils.
ꢀ 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.
For units with ventilating hood –
ꢀ Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
ꢀ When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
Ceramic Glass
(on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
WARNING
It is normal for the surface of white or biscuit ceramic glass to
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As
the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops
with white or biscuit ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more
visible, and may require more cleaning and care. For more
information, see “General Cleaning” section.
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO.
Push in and turn to setting. On some models, the surface cooking
area locator shows which element is turned on. Use the following
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools,
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop,
and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
To Replace:
1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element
receptacle.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.

coil element terminal into the receptacle.
3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it
will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the
receptacle.
ꢀ
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass)
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking
area(s) is turned off.
Lift-up Cooktop
(on some models)
The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath.
Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and
the cooktop frame. For more information, see the “General
Cleaning” section.
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls
(on some models)
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also
help catch spills.
To Lift:
Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into
place.
Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) over the coil
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce
excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color. For more
information, see the “General Cleaning” section.
NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the
Off position.
To Remove:
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then
To Replace:
lift it enough to clear the burner bowl.
1. Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support
rods back to unlock them.
2. Slowly lower the cooktop into place.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.
ꢀ
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not
extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking
area or element.
ꢀ
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or
surface burners at the same time.
ꢀ
ꢀ
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil
element will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for
instructions on how to order.
3. Lift out the burner bowl.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the

Baking and Roasting
Broiling and Custom Broiling
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to
end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE. The bake oven indicator light will light up.
2. Set the temperature (optional).
ꢀ
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for
Part Number 4396923.
Press TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a
temperature other than 350°F (177ºC) in 5°F (3ºC) amounts.
The bake range can be set between 170°F (77ºC) and
500°F (260ºC).
ꢀ
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77ºC), no
preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
The preheat conditioning time will not change if the
temperature is reset before the countdown time ends.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting
down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by
pressing BAKE.
ꢀ
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
3. Press START/ENTER.
The oven control automatically sets preheating times based
on the oven temperature selected.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is
not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to
the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.
The temperature can be changed after this step. START/
ENTER does not need to be pressed again.
After the oven is preheated and the countdown time is
finished, a 1-second tone will sound, the ON indicator light
will go off and the set temperature will appear on the display.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
After START/ENTER is pressed, the oven will enter a timed
preheat conditioning. “PrE” and the time countdown will appear
on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone
will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the
display.
To Broil:
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL. The broil oven indicator light will light
up.
2. Press START/ENTER. The On and Heat oven indicator lights
will light up.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.
The temperature setting can be changed any time before or
after pressing START/ENTER. See “Custom Broiling” section.
If broiling while the time is counting down, the set broiling
temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by pressing CUSTOM
BROIL.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.

ways. The oven can be set to start cooking immediately and shut
off automatically at the end of the cooking time. Or, the oven can
be set to start at a later time, cook for a specified length of time
and shut off automatically at the end of the cooking time.

RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models)
Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer:
ꢀ
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may
melt.
WARNING
ꢀ
Remove all items from the storage drawer.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
Burn Hazard
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during
Self-Cleaning cycle.
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but
the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are
2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes
and 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool, damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in
the glass breaking.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds
to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see
“Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
2. Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a
clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can
be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The
door gasket is essential for a good seal.
3. Press START/ENTER.
Prepare Oven:
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
The oven door will automatically lock. The ON and DOOR
LOCKED oven indicator lights will light up. The door will not
unlock until the oven cools.
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will
appear on the oven display and the oven indicator lights will
go off.
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL to clear the oven display.
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this
area.
To Stop Self-Clean anytime:
Press OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door
will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
ꢀ
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not
affect cooking performance.
