SELF-CLEANING OVEN (on some models)  
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 Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the  
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.  
I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before  
starting the self-cleaning operation.  
I Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s

Manual.  
I Do not use oven cleaners on self-clean  
models. 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 Take the shelves out of the oven before  
you begin the self-clean cycle or they  
may discolor.  
SURFACE UNITS–ALL MODELS  
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 Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or  
medium high heat settings.  
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 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 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 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 If a combination of oils or fats will be used in  
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats  
melt slowly.  
I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
I Always turn the surface units off before  
removing cookware.  
I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
I Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do  
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS (on some models)  
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls  
have been turned off.  
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 Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet  
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a  
hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam  
burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
I Large scratches or impacts to glass doors  
or cooktops can lead to broken or shattered  
glass.  
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  
Cleaning the glass cooktop section.  
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. Contact  
a qualified technician immediately should  
your glass cooktop become broken.  
I When the cooktop is cool, use only the  
recommended cleaning cream to clean  
the cooktop.

SURFACE  
COOKING  
The radiant cooktop features heating units  
beneath a smooth glass surface.  
IWater stains (mineral deposits) are removable  
using the cleaning cream or full-strength white  
vinegar.  
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.  
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.  
Never cook directly on the glass.  
Always use cookware.  
IDo not use the surface as a cutting board.  
It is safe to place hot cookware from the  
oven or surface on the glass surface when  
the surface is cool.  
OFF CENTER  
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.  
Always place the pan in the center of  
the surface unit you are cooking on.  
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop  
because it can scratch the glass—the glass  
is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.  
DRAGGING  
Temperature Limiter  
Every radiant surface unit has a  
temperature limiter.  
The temperature limiter may cycle the  
units off for a time if:  
IThe pan boils dry.  
The temperature limiter protects the glass  
cooktop from getting too hot.  
IThe pan bottom is not flat.  
IThe pan is off center.  
IThere is no pan on the unit.

Selecting types of cookware.  
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.  
Stainless Steel:  
recommended  
Glass-ceramic:  
usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
Aluminum:  
heavy weight recommended  
Stoneware:  
usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
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.  
Check pans for flat bottoms by using  
a straight edge.  
Home Canning Tips:  
Be sure the canner is centered over the  
surface unit.  
Copper Bottom:  
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.  
recommended  
Use recipes and procedures from  
reputable sources. These are available  
from manufacturers such as Ball® and  
Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture  
Extension Service.  
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.  
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use  
caution when canning.  
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, as it may scratch the  
glass-ceramic cooktop.  
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged  
or warped bottoms are not  
recommended.  
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.  
Surface Cookware Tips  
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,  
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  
but generally cook evenly at low to medium of the surface unit more than 1 inch.  
heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly  
1″  
if not combined with other metals.  
Not over 1 inch  
Wok Cooking  
Placing the ring over the surface unit will  
cause a buildup 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 tips 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 of these types of woks, with or without  
the ring in place, can be dangerous.  
Use only flat-bottomed woks.

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.  
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 is not  
directly above the other, and leave

approximately 112from the front of the  
pan to the front of the shelf.  
On some models, 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.  
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.  
How to Set the Oven for Broiling (on models without an oven temperature knob)  
Place the meat or fish on the broiler  
grid in the broiler pan.  
Touch the START/ON pad.  
When broiling is finished, touch the  
CLEAR/OFF pad.  
Follow suggested shelf positions in the  
Broiling Guide.  
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks  
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and  
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.  
Leave the door open to the broil stop  
position. The door stays open by itself,  
yet the proper temperature is  
maintained in the oven.  
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry  
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without  
over-browning them.  
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for  
HI Broil.  
To change to LO Broil, touch the  
BROIL HI/LO pad again.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do 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. These  
thermometers may vary 20–40°F.  
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment  
will be retained in memory after a power failure.

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.  
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.

Care and cleaning of the range.  
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.  
If your range is removed for cleaning,  
servicing or any reason, be sure the  
anti-tip device is re-engaged properly  
when the range is replaced. Failure  
to take this precaution could result in  
tipping of the range and cause injury.

finish on the inside of the oven---top,  
bottom, sides, back and inside of the door---

oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will  
help loosen the burned-on grease and food.  
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.  
Follow the package directions.  
Let the range cool before cleaning. We  
recommend that you wear rubber gloves  
when cleaning the range.  
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls  
and switches because it could cause a short circuit  
and result in sparking or fire.  
Soap and water will normally do the job.  
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require  
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.  
Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.  
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on  
the temperature sensor–it could cause the oven to  
heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of  
the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each  
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor  
as a change in its position could affect how the  
oven bakes.  
Do not allow food spills with a high  
sugar or acid content (such as milk,  
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or  
pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may  
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.  
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,  
handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets  
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these  
surfaces.  
Household ammonia may make the  
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a  
shallow glass or pottery container in a cold  
Lift-Off Oven Door  
The oven door is removable for cleaning.  
To clean the outside of the door:  
Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure the  
oven is completely cool.  
IUse soap and water to thoroughly clean  
the top, sides and front of the oven door.  
Rinse well. You may also use a glass  
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside  
of the door. Do not let water drip into the  
vent openings.  
Lift the door straight up and off the  
hinges.  
To remove the door, open it to the special  
stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and  
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.  
Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven  
door frame.  
ISpillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato  
sauces and basting materials containing  
acids may cause discoloration and should  
be wiped up immediately. When surface  
is cool, clean and rinse.  
To replace the door, make sure the hinges  
are in the special stop position. Position  
the slots in the bottom of the door squarely  
over the hinges and slowly lower it over  
both hinges.  
The gasket is designed with a gap  
at the bottom to allow for proper  
air circulation.  
IDo not use oven cleaners, cleaning  
powders or harsh abrasives on the  
outside of the door.  
Because the area inside the gasket is  
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,  
you do not need to clean this by hand  
on self-clean models.  
To clean the inside of the door:  
IDo not allow excess water to run into any  
holes or slots in the door.  
The area outside the gasket and the  
front frame can be cleaned with a  
soap-filled steel-wool pad, hot water  
and detergent. Rinse well with a  
vinegar and water solution.  
Do not rub or clean the door  
gasket–it has an extremely low  
resistance to abrasion.  
ISoap and water will normally do the job.  
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require  
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.  
Soap-filled, steel-wool pads may also  
be used.  
If you notice the gasket becoming  
worn, frayed or damaged in any way,  
or if it has become displaced on the  
door, you should have it replaced.  
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid  
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit  
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They  
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)  
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy  
but breakable if misused. This finish is  
acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods  
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or  
vinegar) should not be permitted to remain  
on the finish.  
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot,  
use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up  
right away. When the surface has cooled,  
wash with soap and water. Rinse well.  
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash  
with soap and water or cleansing powders  
after the surface has cooled. Rinse well.  
Polish with a dry cloth.  
Lift-Up Cooktop (on some models)  
Some models have a cooktop that can be  
lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire  
cooktop may be lifted up and supported  
in the up position.  
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot,  
mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower  
the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your  
fingers.  
Be sure all surface units are turned  
off before raising the cooktop.  
The surface units do not need to be  
removed; however, you may remove one to  
make raising the cooktop easier. There are  
two side supports that lock into position  
when the cooktop is lifted up.  
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back  
and gently lower the cooktop until it rests  
in place.  
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on radiant top models.  
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper  
operation of the range.  
Surface Units (on some models)  
Surface unit  
Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and the  
surface units are cool before attempting to remove  
them.  
To replace a surface unit:

liquids of any kind.  
Do not clean the surface units in a  
dishwasher.  
Do not bend the surface unit plug  
terminals.  
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the  
drip pan and pull it out.  
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1. If you do,  
it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it  
back in.  
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than  
1 inch above the drip pan can permanently  
damage the receptacle.  
Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any  
way repair the plug-in receptacle.  
Drip Pans (if so equipped)  
Remove the surface units. Then lift out the  
drip pans.  
Clean the area under the drip pans often.  
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.  
Place them in a covered container. Add  
1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several  
hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well  
and dry.  
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so  
close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or  
damage to the range.  
NOTE: Do not clean the drip pans in a  
self-cleaning oven.  
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the  
dishwasher.
