SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:  
I Use this appliance only for its intended  
purpose as described in this Owner’s  
Manual.  
I Before performing any service, disconnect  
the range power supply at the household  
distribution panel by removing the fuse or  
switching off the circuit breaker.  
I Be sure your appliance is properly  
installed and grounded by a qualified  
installer in accordance with the provided  
installation instructions.  
I Do not leave children alone—children  
should not be left alone or unattended in  
an area where an appliance is in use. They  
should never be allowed to sit or stand on  
any part of the appliance.  
I Have the installer show you the location  
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for  
easy reference.  
I Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or  
hang on the door, storage drawer or  
cooktop. They could damage the range  
and even tip it over, causing severe  
personal injury.  
I Do not attempt to repair or replace any  
part of your range unless it is specifically  
recommended in this manual. All other  
servicing should be referred to a qualified  
technician.  
WARNING!  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution  
may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified  
technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.  
I Do not store flammable materials in  
I Do not use water on grease fires. Never  
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls  
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface  
unit by covering the pan completely with  
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.  
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or  
foam-type fire extinguisher.  
an oven or near the cooktop.  
I
CAUTION:  
Items of interest to  
children should not be stored in cabinets  
above a range or on the backsplash of a  
range—children climbing on the range  
to reach items could be seriously injured.  
I Flaming grease outside a pan can be put  
out by covering it with baking soda or,  
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry  
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
I Never wear loose-fitting or hanging  
garments while using the appliance.  
Be careful when reaching for items stored  
over the range. Flammable material could  
be ignited if brought in contact with hot  
surface units or heating elements and may  
cause severe burns.  
I Flame in the oven can be smothered  
completely by closing the oven door and  
turning the oven off or by using a multi-  
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire  
extinguisher.  
I Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp  
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in  
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders  
touch hot surface units or heating  
elements. Do not use a towel or other  
bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
I For your safety, never use your appliance  
I Do not store or use combustible materials,  
for warming or heating the room.  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and  
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other  
appliance.  
I Do not let cooking grease or other  
flammable materials accumulate in or  
near the range.  
I Keep the hood and grease filters clean  
to maintain good venting and to avoid  
grease fires.  
I Do not touch the surface units, the  
heating elements or the interior surface  
of the oven. These surfaces may be hot  
enough to burn even though they are  
dark in color. During and after use, do not  
touch, or let clothing or other flammable  
materials contact the surface units, areas  
nearby the surface units or any interior  
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for  
cooling first.  
I Teach children not to play with the  
controls or any other part of the range.  
I Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot  
holders and other linens a safe distance  
from your range.  
I Always keep wooden and plastic utensils  
and canned food a safe distance from  
your range.  
I Potentially hot surfaces include the  
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven  
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,  
crevices around the oven door.  
I Always keep combustible wall coverings,  
curtains or drapes a safe distance from  
your range.  
I REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven  
may be hot when the door is opened.  
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…  
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least  
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.  
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS  
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit  
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct  
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will  
also improve efficiency.  
I Never leave the surface units unattended  
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause  
smoking and greasy spillovers that may  
catch on fire.  
I To minimize the possibility of burns,  
ignition of flammable materials and  
spillage, the handle of a container  
should be turned toward the center of  
the range without extending over nearby  
surface units.  
I Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,  
earthenware or other glazed containers  
are suitable for cooktop service; others  
may break because of the sudden change  
in temperature.  
I Always turn the surface units off before  
removing cookware.  
I When preparing flaming foods under  
the hood, turn the fan on.

or medium high heat settings.  
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid  
wiping any surface unit areas until they  
have cooled and the indicator light has  
gone off. Sugar spills are the exception  
to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass  
cooktop section.  
I When the cooktop is cool, use only  
CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop  
Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE®  
Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.  
I Foods for frying should be as dry as  
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture  
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble  
up and over the sides of the pan.  
I Use little fat for effective shallow or deep  
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can  
cause spillovers when food is added.  
I If a combination of oils or fats will be  
used in frying, stir together before heating,  
or as fats melt slowly.  
I To avoid possible damage to the cooking  
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to  
the glass surface when it is hot.  
I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
I After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper  
towel to remove all cleaning cream  
residue.  
I Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.  
The cooktop can be scratched with items  
such as sharp instruments, rings or other  
jewelry, and rivets on clothing.  
I Read and follow all instructions and  
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.  
I Large scratches or impacts to glass doors  
or cooktops can lead to broken or  
shattered glass.  
I Do not operate the radiant surface units if  
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning  
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop  
and create a risk of electrical shock.  
I Do not leave any items on the cooktop.  
The hot air from the vent may ignite  
flammable items and will increase pressure  
in closed containers, which may cause  
them to burst.  
Contact a qualified technician immediately  
should your glass cooktop become broken.  
I Never use the glass cooktop surface as  
a cutting board.  
I Do not leave plastic items on the  
cooktop—they may melt if left too close  
to the vent.  
I Do not place or store items that can melt  
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even  
when it is not being used.  
I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the  
cooktop can lead to damage and improper  
operation of the range.  
I Be careful when placing spoons or other  
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface  
when it is in use. They may become hot  
and could cause burns.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
OVEN  
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause  
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.  
I Do not heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container  
could burst, causing an injury.  
I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.  
If overheated, they can catch on fire.  
I Do not use the oven for a storage area.  
I Keep the oven vent unobstructed.  
Items stored in an oven can ignite.  
I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.  
I Do not leave paper products, cooking  
utensils or food in the oven when not  
in use.  
I Place the oven shelf in the desired position  
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be  
handled when hot, do not let pot holder  
contact the heating elements.  
I Do not use aluminum foil to line oven  
bottoms, except as suggested in this  
manual. Improper installation of  
aluminum foil may result in a risk of  
electric shock or fire.  
I When using cooking or roasting bags in  
the oven, follow the manufacturer’s  
directions.  
I Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a  
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also  
a precaution against burns from touching  
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.  
SELF-CLEANING 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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside  
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.  
I Do not clean the door gasket. The door  
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care  
should be taken not to rub, damage or  
move the gasket.  
I Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before  
starting the self-cleaning operation.  
I If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,  
turn the oven off and disconnect the  
power supply. Have it serviced by a  
qualified technician.  
I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the  
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.  
I Take the shelves out of the oven before

Using the Warming Zone  
The WARMING ZONE, located in the back  
center of the glass surface, will keep hot,  
cooked food at serving temperature.  
Always start with hot food. Do not use  
to heat cold food. Placing uncooked or  
cold food on the WARMING ZONE could  
result in food-borne illness.  
CAUTION: Do not warm food on the  
WARMING ZONE for more than two hours.  
NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like  
the cooking elements.  
A HOT surface indicator light will glow  
when the glass surface is hot and will

Temperature Limiter  
Every radiant surface unit has a  
temperature limiter.  
The temperature limiter may cycle  
the units off for a time if:  
I The pan boils dry.  
The temperature limiter protects the  
glass cooktop from getting too hot.  
I The pan bottom is not flat.  
I The pan is off-center.  
I There is no pan on the unit.  
Home Canning Tips  
Be sure the canner is centered over the  
surface unit.  
Use recipes and procedures from  
reputable sources. These are available  
from manufacturers such as Ball® and  
Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture  
Extension Service.  
Make sure the canner is flat on the  
bottom.  
To prevent burns from steam or heat,  
use caution when canning.  
Flat-bottomed canners are  
recommended. Use of water bath  
canners with rippled bottoms may  
extend the time required to bring  
the water to a boil.  
Wok Cooking  
Do not use round bottom woks.  
You could be seriously burned if the  
wok tipped over.  
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed  
wok. They are available at your local retail store.  
Do not use woks that have support rings.  
Use only flat-bottomed woks.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.  
About the radiant surface units…  
The radiant cooktop features heating  
units beneath a smooth glass surface.  
SURFACE  
COOKING  
DRAGGING  
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new  
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by  
the heating of new parts and insulating materials  
and will disappear in a short time.  
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass  
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to  
change color when hot or cooling down. This is  
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools  
to room temperature.  
Never cook directly on the glass.  
Always use cookware.  
Do not slide cookware across the  
cooktop because it can scratch the  
glass—the glass is scratch-resistant,  
not scratchproof.  
IWater stains (mineral deposits) are removable  
using the cleaning cream or full-strength white  
vinegar.  
IUse of window cleaner may leave an  
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning  
cream will remove this discoloration.  
IDon’t store heavy items above the cooktop.  
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause  
damage.  
OFF CENTER  
The surface unit will cycle on and off to  
maintain your selected control setting.  
Always place the pan in the center of  
the surface unit you are cooking on.  
It is safe to place hot cookware on the  
glass surface even when the cooktop  
is cool.  
Even after the surface units are turned  
off, the glass cooktop retains enough  
heat to continue cooking. To avoid  
overcooking, remove pans from the  
surface units when the food is cooked.  
Avoid placing anything on the surface  
unit until it has cooled completely.  
IDo not use the surface as a cutting board.  
Selecting types of cookware.  
Stainless Steel:  
recommended  
Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:  
recommended  
As long as the cookware is covered  
completely with porcelain enamel, this  
cookware is recommended. Caution is  
recommended for cast iron cookware  
that is not completely covered with  
smooth porcelain enamel, since it may  
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.  
Aluminum:  
Check pans for flat bottoms by  
using a straight edge.  
heavy weight recommended  
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues  
sometimes appear as scratches on the  
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned  
immediately. Because of its low melting  
point, thin weight aluminum should not  
be used.  
Glass-Ceramic:  
usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the  
surface.  
Copper Bottom:  
recommended  
Copper may leave residues which can  
appear as scratches. The residues can be  
removed, as long as the cooktop is  
cleaned immediately. However, do not let  
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can  
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated  
copper bottom pot will leave a residue  
that will permanently stain the cooktop  
if not removed immediately.  
Stoneware:  
usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the  
surface.  
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged  
or warped bottoms are not  
recommended.

Using the oven.  
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.  
Before you begin…  
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when  
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A  
through F), they will stop before coming  
completely out, and will not tilt.  
CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the lowest  
position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling  
the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf  
out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull  
the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low  
and you could be burned if you place your hand in the  
middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very  
careful not to burn your hand on the door when using  
the shelf in the lowest position (A).  
When placing and removing cookware,  
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf  
support.  
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the  
front end up and pull it out.  
To replace, place the end of the shelf  
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front  
and push the shelf in.  
The oven has 6 shelf positions.

Preheating and Pan Placement  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.  
Preheating is necessary for good results when  
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.  
The Display will show “PRE” while preheating. When  
the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven  
control will beep and the display will show the oven  
temperature.  
Baking results will be better if baking pans are  
centered in the oven as much as possible. If  
baking with more than one pan, place the  
1
pans so each has at least 1 to 1 ⁄2of air space  
around it. If baking four cake layers at the  
same time, place two layers on rack B and two  
layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so  
one is not directly above the other.  
Center baking pans in the oven.  
Aluminum Foil  
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a  
spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil  
on a lower shelf several inches below the food.  
Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.  
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler  
pan and broiler grid. However, you must  
mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in  
it just like the grid.  
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum  
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and  
result in poor baking.  
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!  
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few  
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust  
the thermostat yourself.  
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!  
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you  
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.  
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat  
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.  
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,  
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the  
texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or  
stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
