the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result  
in a risk of electric shock, or fire.  
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow  
basic precautions, including the following:  
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE  
RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY  
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK  
IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE  
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET  
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE  
BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP  
BRACKET.  
Glazed Cooking Utensils Only certain types of glass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed  
utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking  
due to the sudden change in temperature.  
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend  
Over Adjacent Surface Units To reduce the risk of burns,  
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to  
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a  
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and  
does not extend over adjacent surface units.  
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in  
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range –  
children climbing on the range to reach items could be  
seriously injured.  
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements Heating  
Proper Installation Be sure the range is properly installed  
elements should never be immersed in water.  
and grounded by a qualified technician.  
Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop If cooktop should  
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the  
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact  
a qualified technician immediately.  
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.  
Do Not Leave Children Alone Children should not be left  
alone or unattended in area where the range is in use.  
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of  
the range.  
Clean Cooktop With Caution If a wet sponge or cloth is  
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to  
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
Wear Proper Apparel Loose-fitting or hanging garments  
should never be worn while using the range.  
Use Care When Opening Door Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.  
User Servicing Do not repair or replace any part of the  
range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All  
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers Build-up of  
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.  
Storage in or on the Range Flammable materials should  
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.  
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.  
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires Smother fire or flame  
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
Placement of Oven Racks Always place oven racks in  
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved  
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating  
element in oven.  
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 flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE  
Cooktop Controls  
Ceramic Glass Use  
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 ceramic glass (on some  
models) 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. For more  
information, see “General Cleaning” section.  
Fire Hazard  
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a  
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the  
cooktop.  
Turn off all controls when done cooking.  
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.  
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.  
Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a  
setting. The controls can be set anywhere between HI and LO.  
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 the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.  
SETTING  
HI  
RECOMMENDED USE  
To start foods cooking.  
To bring liquids to a boil.  
Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.  
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware  
or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.  
Medium High  
Between  
HI & MEDIUM  
To hold a rapid boil.

Power On Indicator Lights  
The Power On indicator lights beside the control knobs indicate  
which surface elements are turned on. A Power On indicator light  
will glow when its corresponding surface element is turned on.  
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.

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.  
Cookware  
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
cooking area, element or surface burner.  
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small  
expansion channels can be used.  
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-  
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy  
thickness.  
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry  
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits  
when heated.  
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper  
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used  
as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.  
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.  
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.  
HOT Surface Indicator Lights  
Four HOT surface indicator lights.  
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material  
characteristics.  
COOKWARE  
Aluminum  
CHARACTERISTICS  
The HOT surface indicator lights on the cooktop surface will glow  
when their corresponding surface elements are turned on. The  
HOT surface indicator lights will continue to glow as long as the  
elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.  
Heats quickly and evenly.  
Suitable for all types of cooking.  
Medium or heavy thickness is best for  
most cooking tasks.  
NOTE: Heat from the oven vent may cause the left rear HOT  
surface indicator light to glow to show that the area is too warm  
to touch.  
Cast iron  
Heats slowly and evenly.  
Good for browning and frying.  
Maintains heat for slow cooking.  
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.  
Ceramic or  
Ceramic glass  
Follow manufacturer’s instructions.  
Heats slowly, but unevenly.  
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking  
area or element. Canners should not extend more than  
1" (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.  
Ideal results on low to medium heat  
settings.  
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements  
or surface burners at the same time.  
Copper  
Heats very quickly and evenly.  
Earthenware  
Follow manufacturer’s instructions.  
Use on low heat settings.  
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.  
Porcelain

Oven Vent  
Custom Broil  
The broil element operates at full power when heating. Use this  
setting for normal broiling and top browning.  
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.  
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and  
smoke.  
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The  
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier  
cleaning.  
A
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on  
the edges to prevent curling.  
A. Oven vent (above door)  
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered, because it  
allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking  
or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting  
cooking and cleaning results.  
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.  
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.  
Bake  
The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top  
and bottom elements cycle on and off accordingly during preheat  
and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal  
cooking results.  
To Broil:  
Before broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.  
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the  
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.  
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in,  
unless it is recommended in the recipe. Close the door.  
To Bake or Roast:  
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the  
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is  
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food  
in, unless it is recommended in the recipe.  
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.  
2. Press START.  
The set oven temperature will appear on the display until the  
oven is turned off.  
1. Press BAKE.  
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter  
a temperature other than 350°F (175°C). Press the “up” or  
“down” pads (buttons) to raise or lower the temperature in  
5°F/5°C increments.  
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.  
To Change Broil Temperature:  
When custom broiling, changing the temperature allows more  
precise control. 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.  
2. Press START.  
A preheat time will count down, and “PrE” will appear on the  
display. The oven control automatically sets preheating times  
based on the oven temperature you select.  
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL. “500°F” will appear in the display.  
When the actual oven temperature is reached, the set  
temperature will replace “PrE” on the display.

Preheating  
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.  
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.  
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.

BROILING CHART  
For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil  
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted  
for individual foods and tastes. It is recommended that food be  
turned approximately two-thirds of the way through the total  
cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to determine the  
doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature in 2 or  
3 places.  
Convection Cooking  
(on some models)  
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually  
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a  
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a  
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more  
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding  
crustier breads.  
Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1)  
to the top (4). Do not use position 5. For diagram, see the  
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.  
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures  
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C) and cooking time can be shortened  
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.

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.  
General Cleaning  
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and  
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions  
on cleaning products.  
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil  
to a powdery ash.  
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless  
otherwise noted.  
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, however  
the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours  
30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to  
4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.  
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES  
(on some models)  
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 completely cooled could result in  
the glass breaking.  
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should  
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills  
may affect the finish.  
Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing  
pad:  
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate

Has the oven door been opened while cooking? Oven  
peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer cooking  
times.  
Does the oven temperature calibration need adjustment?  
See “Oven Temperature Control” section.  
Are baked items too brown on the bottom? Move rack to  
higher position in the oven.  
On slide-in models, does the cooling fan run during Bake,  
Broil or Clean? It is normal for the fan to automatically run  
when the oven is in use. This helps cool the electronic  
control.  
Are pie crust edges browning early? Use aluminum foil to  
cover the edge of the crust.  
Oven indicator lights flash  
Do the oven indicator lights flash? See the “Electronic  
Oven Control” section. If the indicator light(s) keeps flashing,  
call for service. See “Assistance or Service” section.
