WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE  
All ranges can tip and injury could result.  
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the  
wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.  
OpeagIructions  
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly,  
remove the storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg.  
Make sure it fits securely into the slot.  
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason,  
make sure the device is properly engaged when you  
push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is  
a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing  
injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open  
door.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions  
should be followed, including the following:  
Be sure your appliance  
is properly installed  
and grounded by a  
qualified technician in  
accordance with the  
provided installation  
instructions.  
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.  
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.  
laIructions  
Do not store flammable  
materials in an oven or  
near the cooktop.  
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.

Surface Cookware Tips (electric coil models only)  
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum  
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-  
iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb  
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat  
settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined  
with other metals.  
laIructions  
1″  
For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the  
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the  
surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge  
of the surface unit more than 1 inch.  
Not over 1 inch  
Wok Cooking  
T
rbuleshotingT  
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 of these  
types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be  
dangerous. Placing the ring over the surface unit will  
cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain  
cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring.  
You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.  
isp  
Use only flat-bottomed woks.  
CsutomSrvice  
Temperature Limiter (glass cooktops only)  
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter. The  
temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.  
The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if:

The pan bottom is not flat.  
The pan is off center.

SURFACE  
COOKING  
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a  
smooth glass surface.  
OpeagIructions  
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.  
Never cook directly on the glass.  
Always use cookware.  
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain  
your selected control setting.  
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or  
surface on the glass surface when the surface is cool.  
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass  
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking.  
To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from the surface  
units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing  
anything on the surface unit until it has cooled  
completely.

Preheating and Pan Placement  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven  
at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results  
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.  
OepagIructions  
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven  
as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls  
of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one  
1
is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 1 2from  
the front of the pan to the front of the shelf.  
Aluminum Foil  
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will  
disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.  
laIructions  
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by  
placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.  
Aluminum foil may be used to  
catch a spillover.  
You can also use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan  
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil

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 affect 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.

Cleaning the glass cooktop.  
Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for  
the first time. Also, clean the glass surface after each use. This helps  
protect the top and makes clean-up easier.  
SeyIfrmation  
To clean the cooktop seal, let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then  
wipe clean. Use a mild detergent if needed.  
Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal because it will cut or  
damage it.  
Daily Cleaning  
Use only a recommended cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or  
the Cooktop Cleaning Creme, on the glass cooktop.  
OpeagIructions  
To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass cooktop  
follow these steps.  
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning  
cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.  
Clean the surface with the cleaning cream after each use.  
Rub a few drops (less is better) of the cleaning cream onto soiled

Special Care  
Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or  
nicked blade.  
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups) or  
melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your  
cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is  
removed while still hot. Special care should be taken  
when removing hot substances.  
OepagIructions  
Using a razor scraper will not damage  
the surface if the 30° angle is  
maintained.  
Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.  
1
Remove hot pans.  
Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a  
30° angle to the cooktop. Scrape the hot spill to a  
cool area outside the surface unit.  
2
laIructions  
With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to  
remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should

be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.  
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until  
all of the spillover has been removed. Follow the  
steps under Heavy soil to continue the cleaning  
process.  
NOTE: If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper or  
enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond with the  
glass cooktop and leave a black discoloration. This should be  
removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration  
may be permanent.

Flooring Under the Range  
SeyIfrmation  
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings  
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.  
When moving the range on this type of flooring, it should be installed on a  
1/4thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:  
When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range  
will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the  
floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.  
Prepare for Electrical Connection  
2
OpeagIructions  
Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electric Code requires that  
new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an  
electric range.  
When installing an electric range in new construction follow Steps 3  
and 5 for 4-wire connection.  
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may  
be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.  
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required.  
A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for  
use with nominal 1 8diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to  
laIructions

center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from  
damaging the cable.  
ips  
NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or when  
local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral. If conduit is being used, go to Step 6 or 7.
