IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
WARNING—
• The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
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.
To check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, remove the kick
panel or storage drawer and inspect the rear
leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
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.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information
in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.
• Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury.
If your model has a surface light, you must
recycle the fluorescent light bulb according
to local, state and federal codes.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including
the following:
• 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.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, kick panel or storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range and even
tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
• 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.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
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.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Keep the hood and grease filter clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
• 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.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• 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.
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.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
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.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
• 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 surface units, areas
nearby surface units or any interior area of the
oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.
• Do not use oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
Self-Cleaning Oven
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
• 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.
• 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.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that,
in the remote possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat
will be safe to eat.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it
serviced by a qualified technician.

to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
• 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.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
• Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the range.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
• 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.
• 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 the nearby
surface units.
• Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all
surface units are at the off position and all coils
are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.

Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface.
The cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and
rivets on clothing.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled and
the indicator has gone off. Sugar spills are the
exception to this. Please see the Glass Cooktop
Cleaning section.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream brand cleaner to
clean the cooktop.
• Do not stand on the glass cooktop.
• 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.
• Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
• 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 the nearby
surface units.
• To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the
glass surface when it is hot.
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all the cleaning cream residue.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
TO YOUR OLD ONE?
Your new cooktop has either electric coil surface units
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have.
or a halogen/radiant glass cooktop. If you are used to
cooking with gas burners or other types of electric
cooktops, you will notice some differences when you
use electric coils or a halogen/radiant glass cooktop.
The following chart will help you to understand the
differences between your new cooktop and any other
type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
Type of Cooktop
Electric Coil
Description
How it Works
Flattened metal
tubing containing
electric resistance
wire suspended
over a drip pan.
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For
best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of
warped pans than halogen/radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not
change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough
to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Halogen/Radiant Radiant: Electric
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat
on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
continue cooking long after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit
if you want cooking to stop.
(Glass Cooktop)
coils under a glass
cooktop.
Halogen: Quartz
tube filled with
halogen gas around
a tungsten wire
heating element
under a glass
cooktop.
Induction
High frequency
induction coils
under a glass
surface.
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Solid Disk
Gas Burners
Solid cast iron
disk sealed to the
cooktop surface.
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
Regular or sealed
gas burners use
either LP gas
Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
or natural gas.

General Information About Halogen/Radiant Surface Units
The halogen/radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface. The surface units are
shown by outlines on the glass.
Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may
leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear as
small scratches. They can be removed with cleaning
cream and a razor scraper.
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean
it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top
and makes clean-up easier.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass surface when the surface is cool.
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.
Avoid sliding pans on the glass cooktop. Pan edges
that are even slightly rough or grit on the cooktop can
cause scratches on the glass.
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.
When a surface unit is turned on, coils beneath the
surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the
cookware. The red glow of the coils will be visible
through the glass. It will take the surface unit a few
moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to
maintain your selected control setting. With poor
cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit
off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize
the cycling.
The Hot Surface Lights will stay lit until the cooktop
is safe to touch. It is not unusual for the lights to stay
lit for 30 minutes.
Use only flat-bottomed cookware. Do not let pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktop. An
overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will
permanently stain the glass.
Differences Between Halogen and Radiant Units
Some cooktops have both radiant and halogen surface
units. This is how they differ.
• Halogen units click when they cycle on and off.
Radiant units do not. This is due to the different
switches used on halogen units.
• Halogen units have radiant coils in
the center that do not glow as
brightly as the outer halogen coils.

• Radiant coils take about 10 seconds longer to glow
than halogen units.
• Halogen units are much brighter than the radiant
units. Radiant units have a dull red glow.
• Halogen units hum louder than radiant units
when they are first turned on.
• Halogen and radiant units cycle on and off
frequently. This is normal. You will notice the
cycling more on the halogen units because of
their brightness.

HOME CANNING TIPS
Canning should be done on the surface units only.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER
THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—
and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could
eventually harm the porcelain cooktop surfaces
surrounding the electric coil surface units.
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit
are not recommended for most surface cooking.
However, when canning with water-bath or pressure
canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is
because boiling water temperatures (even under
pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces
surrounding the surface units.
Observe the Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the
surface unit. If your range or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,
use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
2. For best results, use canners with flat bottoms.
On the glass cooktop, flat bottomed canners must
be used. Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms
(often found in enamelware) don’t make good
contact with the surface unit and take a long time
to boil water.
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may
take longer than expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed.
The process time can be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating
of large quantities of water.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended for
electric coils; they are required for glass cooktops.
Glass Cooktop Cautions:
Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms
are destroyed and that the jars are sealed
completely. When canning foods in a water-bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained
for the required time. When canning foods in a
pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained
for the required time.
Since you must make sure to process the canning
jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption
in processing time, you cannot can on any of
the cooktop surface units if your canner is not
flat enough.
What is a Temperature Limiter?
After you have adjusted the controls, it is very
important to make sure the prescribed boil or
pressure levels are maintained for the required time.
Every halogen and radiant surface unit has a
Temperature Limiter. The Temperature Limiter
protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The glass cooktop surface units have temperature
limiters that prevent the glass cooktop from getting
too hot. If the bottom of your canner is not flat, the
surface unit can overheat, triggering the
temperature limiters to cycle the unit off for a
time. This will stop the boil or reduce the pressure
in the canner.
The Temperature Limiter may cycle the units off
for a time if:
• The pan boils dry.
• The pan bottom is not flat.
• The pan is off center.
• There is no pan on the unit.

SURFACE CONTROLS
At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position.
Switching heats to higher settings always shows a

Light Over the Surface Units
The switch must be pushed, held for several seconds
and released for the light to come on.
Special Notes for Glass Cooktops:
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number
of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units
turned on, surface temperatures are high so be
careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface
indicator light will remain lit after the surface unit
is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.
• When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be
seen glowing red within a few seconds (longer for
radiant units). The red glow will turn on and off
(cycling) to maintain the selected heat setting. With
poor cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the
unit off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize
the cycling. See the Surface Cookware Tips section.
NOTE:
• It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or a
surface unit on the glass cooktop when it is cool.
• At HI and Medium High settings never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may catch fire.

• At Medium Low and LO settings melt chocolate
and butter on a small surface unit.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS
(Electric Coil models only)
Cookware
RIGHT
WRONG
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.
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
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.
Do not use woks that
have support rings.
SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS
(Glass Cooktop models only)
Types of Cookware
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Copper Bottom: heavy weight recommended
Good performance, but 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 pot will leave a residue that
will permanently stain the cooktop.
Stainless Steel: highly recommended
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless
steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,
even heat distribution).
Glass-ceramic: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch surface.
Usable, but not recommended.
Aluminum: 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.
Stoneware: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Usable, but not recommended.
Porcelain/enamel:
Cast Iron: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Usable, but not recommended.
Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth
bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and
fuse to the surface.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS
(Glass Cooktop models only—continued)
How to Check Pan Performance
Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking
performance and cleaning of your cooktop.
The correct cookware reduces the temperature of
the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of
spillovers burning onto the cooktop.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped
bottoms are not recommended.
You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.
Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or
may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of
your pans you may do this quick test.
Another simple test to determine even heat distribution
across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water
in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the
location of bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good
flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles
over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles
localized in only a portion of the bottom indicate
uneven contact of the pan to the surface unit, uneven
heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.
Turn your pan upside
down on the countertop,
place a ruler flat against
the pan surface. The
bottom of the pan and the
straight edge of the ruler
should fit flush against each other all the way across.
Turn the ruler a full 360 degrees, checking for any
space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
Use pans that match the diameter of the surface
unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if the
cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface unit.
• Place only dry pans on the
surface units. Do not place
lids on the surface units,
particularly wet lids.
• Do not use woks that have
support rings. This type
of wok will not heat on
glass cooktops.
• Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers, deep fat fryers,
etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the
correct size.
• We recommend that you use
only a flat-bottomed wok.
They are available at your
local retail store. The bottom of the wok should
have the same diameter as the surface unit to insure
proper contact.

HALOGEN/RADIANT SURFACE CLEANING
(on some models)
Glass Cooktop Cleaning
Cleaning of glass cooktops is different from cleaning a
standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the
surface of your new glass cooktop follow these basic steps.
SPECIAL CARE: 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. Follow these instructions carefully
and remove soil while spill is still hot.
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean
it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top
and makes clean-up easier.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only a recommended
cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or the
Cooktop Cleaning Creme, on the glass cooktop.
1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.
Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the
razor scraper at a 30° angle to the
cooktop and scrape hot spill to a
cool area outside the surface unit.
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of the cleaning cream
onto soiled area using a damp paper towel. Buff with
a dry paper towel until all soil and cream are removed.
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which
is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
3. 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.
2. Clean the surface with the cleaning cream after
each use.
For heavy, burned on soil:
1. Apply a few drops of the cleaning cream to the
(cool) soiled area.
COOKTOP SEAL:
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.
2. Using a damp paper towel, rub the cream into the
burned on area. As with any burned on spill, this
may require some effort.
GENERAL INFORMATION: As the cleaning
cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the
cooktop surface. This coating helps to prevent build-
up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make
future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove
this protective coating and therefore make the cooktop
more susceptible to staining.
3. Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper. Hold
scraper at a 30° angle against the glass cooktop.
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For
additional protection, after all soil has been removed,
polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.
5. Buff with a dry paper towel.

NOTE:
• Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface
if the 30° angle is maintained.

PRECAUTIONS
• If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across
the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal
markings which appear as scratches. If this should
happen, use the razor scraper and cleaning cream to
remove these markings. Failure to remove these
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.
• 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.
•
Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and abrasives
which can damage the surface of your cooktop. Use only
the recommended cleaning cream for proper cleaning
and protection of your glass cooktop.
• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using
the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film
on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this
discoloration.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.

throughout the oven
cavity. As a result,
foods are evenly
cooked and browned— often in less time with
convection heat.
When should you use Convection Bake or Convection Roast?
To help you understand the difference between
convection bake and roast and traditional bake and
roast, here are some general guidelines.
In convection roast, heat comes from the top
heating element. The convection fan circulates the
heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat
and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were
cooked on a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack
In convection bake, heat comes from the heating
element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan
circulates the heated air evenly, over and around the
food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having
a bake time of over 15 minutes.
provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and
around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in
juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at
the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.
In regular baking, the bottom heating element heats
the air in the oven which then cooks the food.
Convection Roast
• Large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
• Roasting pans with low sides to allow air movement
around food.
Convection Bake
• Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked
on all 3 shelves.
Regular Roast
• Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook
a long time in liquid to become tender.
• Cooking bag
• Foil tent
• Covered dish
• Good for large quantities of baked foods.
• Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel
food cake and bread.
Regular Bake
• Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top
crust when baked with traditional heat.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check to see
if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in
the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not
touch each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are
recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-
resistant to temperatures of 400°F. can also be used.
Metal and Glass
When baking cookies, you will get the best results
if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with
low sides.
Any type of cookware will work in your convection
oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are
recommended for convection baking.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well
around food in a pan with high sides.
• Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster
than shiny pans.
• Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

for convection baking. For more specific instructions,
follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook.
Use pan size recommended in the recipe.
Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or
main dishes have been developed using commercial
convection ovens. For best results in this oven,
preheat the oven and use the temperature on the
package.
Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake
time of over 15 minutes.
Check foods for doneness at the minimum
suggested cooking time.
For more information on adapting recipes, see the
Convection Cookbook.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout
the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results
on 2 or 3 shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may
increase cook times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quickbreads give very good results
with multi-shelf baking.

CONVECTION ROASTING
Meats cooked in a convection oven are dark brown
The special roasting rack and pan allow heated air
to circulate over and under the meat. This allows the
meat to brown on all sides.
on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. In
most cases, cooking time will be less when using the
Convection Roast feature. Sometimes cooking time is
reduced by 10 minutes per hour.
To make sure the meat is cooked the way you want it,
we recommend using the temperature probe provided
with the oven.
Adapting Recipes for Convection Roasting
Use the temperature recommended in the
Convection Roasting Guide.
Use the special roasting rack with the broiler
pan and grid.
Preheating is not necessary.
For more information on adapting recipes,
see the Convection Cookbook.
Check foods for doneness at the minimum
suggested time.
Convection Roasting Rack
Roasting rack
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on the lowest
shelf position (A) on a shelf.
When you are convection roasting you will use the
broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack.
The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters. The rack holds
the meat.
Post
Grid
This rack allows the heated air to circulate under
the meat and increase browning on the underside
of the meat or poultry.
1. Place the shelf in the lowest shelf position (A).
2. Place the grid on the broiler pan and put the
roasting rack over them making sure the posts on
the roasting rack fit into the holes in the broiler pan.
3. Place the meat on the special roasting rack.
See the Regular Roasting with the Probe section to
insert the probe correctly.

REGULAR BAKING
Do not lock the oven door with the latch
during regular baking. The latch is used for
self-cleaning only.
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust
the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It
Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately
using an oven control system. We recommend that
you operate the oven for a number of weeks to
become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
NOTE: When the oven is hot, the top and outside
surfaces of the range get hot too.

Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven

the desired locations
while the oven is

Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat
means bringing the oven up to the specified
temperature before putting the food in the oven.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—
selecting a higher temperature does not shorten
preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat
10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the
food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent
heat from escaping.
Baking Pans
Pan Placement
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
1
2
oven. Allow 1- to 1 ⁄ -inch space between pans as well
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.
If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so
one is not directly above the other.
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by 25°F.
30

Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions
for the best baking results.
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a
shelf with a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
Pies
Cakes
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier
than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.
Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in
poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used
to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf
several inches below the food.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as “bake 30-40 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Take advantage of the “Big View” window to
monitor cooking progress. Opening the oven door
frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and
makes baking times longer. Your baking results may
also be affected.

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—DO IT YOURSELF!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If
you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make
it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
The thermostat adjustment for Baking does not affect
Convection Baking or Convection Roasting. To adjust
these, press the CONV. BAKE or the CONV. ROAST
pad instead of the BAKE pad when following the
directions under To Adjust the Thermostat.
To Adjust the Thermostat:
1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Select an oven temperature between 500°F. and 550°F.
3. Immediately, before “ON” appears, press and
hold the BAKE pad for about 4 seconds. The time
display will change to the oven adjustment display.
4. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+)
35°F. hotter or (–) 35°F. cooler. Use the + or – pad
to select the desired change in the display.
5. When you have made the adjustment, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad to go back to the time of day
display. Use your oven as you would normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling
or self-cleaning temperatures. It will be retained in
memory after a power failure.

REGULAR ROASTING
Do not lock the latch during regular roasting.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. Standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to
10°F.; to compensate for temperature increase, if
desired, remove the roast from the oven sooner
(at 5° to 10°F. less than the temperature in the
Regular Roasting Guide).
The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed
Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,
indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.
Remember that food will continue to cook in the
hot oven and therefore should be removed when
the desired internal temperature has been reached.
1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating

2. Check the weight of the meat. Place it, fat-side-up
(or poultry breast-side-up) on a trivet in a shallow
pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a
pan as close to the size of the meat as possible.
(The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

REGULAR ROASTING WITH THE PROBE
See the Regular Roasting Guide.
Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe
A temperature probe has been provided for use in your
new oven. This probe is designed to withstand high
temperatures. Temperature probes provided with other
products, such as those used for microwave ovens,
may not be designed to withstand high temperatures.
Use of probes other than the one provided with this
product may result in damage to the probe.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the meat and
wall outlet. Do not use tongs to pull on the cable
when removing the probe—they might damage it.
TO AVOID BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE
SURE FOOD IS COMPLETELY DEFROSTED
BEFORE INSERTING.
Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-
cleaning cycle.
Cable
Probe
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal
food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
When the internal temperature of the food reaches the
temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.
Plug
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at
one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the
outlet on the oven wall.
Handles
(appearance may vary)
After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or
on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for
proper probe placement.
2. Insert the probe into
the meat up to the
point marked off
with your finger. It
should not touch the
bone, fat or gristle.
1. Lay the probe on the
outside of the meat
along the top or side
and mark with your
finger where the edge
of the meat comes to
on the probe. The point
should rest in the center
of the thickest meaty
part of the roast.

REGULAR ROASTING
Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a
meat thermometer?
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a
roast or poultry?
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the
completion of cooking time is recommended if you
did not use the probe while cooking. Temperatures
are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over
8 lbs., check with thermometer at half-hour intervals
after half the cooking time has passed.
A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips
that would help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,
or buy rolled roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when
roasting a turkey?
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to
carve it?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it
unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown
the meat.
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to
20 minutes after removing them from the oven.
Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
ROASTING GUIDE
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started
without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per
pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.
Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some
commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully
without thawing. Follow the directions given on the
package label.

Time the foods for the
first side according to the
Broiling Guide.
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat
from the upper broil element in the oven. Most
fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow
these directions to keep spattering and smoking to
a minimum.
Turn the food, then use
the times given for the
second side as a guide to
the preferred doneness.
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about 1/8 inch thick.
5. Press the BROIL pad.
6. Press the + pad for HI broil or
press the – pad for LO broil.
To change from HI Broil to LO
Broil, press the – pad once.

2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough
to catch on fire.
7. When broiling is finished press the
CLEAR/OFF pad. Serve the food
immediately, and leave the pan outside
the oven to cool during the meal for
easiest cleaning.

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
grid in the pan?
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown
as they should?
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range
may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil
element for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan
with food in oven. Check to see if you are using
the recommended shelf position. Broil for longest
period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide.
Turn the food only once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent
meat from sticking?
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. The broiler grid is designed to reflect broiler
heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to
prevent meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler grid lightly with a
vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make
clean-up easier.
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also
allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or
fish, brush each side often with butter.

BROILING GUIDE
• Always use a broiler pan and rack. They are
designed to minimize smoking and spattering by
trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat
will soil the oven.
• The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven
shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing

and the oven door outside the gasket with a
dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the
oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by
the self-clean cycle. On these areas use detergent
and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse
well with a vinegar and water solution. This will
help prevent a brown residue from forming when
the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry
cloth. Do not clean the gasket.
1. Latch the door.
2. Press the AUTO SELF CLEAN pad.
3. Press the + or – pad to set the Clean Time.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-
clean cycle.
Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven
door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or
oven cleaners.
The range must be completely cool in order to set
the self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven
to cool before you can slide the door latch.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
the fiberglass material of the gasket has an

extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact
and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation and good baking
results. 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.
NOTE: The oven shelves (including the offset
shelf) and the roasting rack may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to slide.
4. Close the door and make sure the oven light is
off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life
of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out
immediately.
2. To avoid heavy smoke in the kitchen during self-
cleaning, wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
(If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-
cleaning to prevent staining.) The enamel grid and
broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-clean oven.
However, to help prevent heavy smoke caused by
self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you must
first clean off the excess grease.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.

Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of
day, can I still self-clean my oven?
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.
What is the matter?
A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you
will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a
specific time.
A. The self-clean cycle causes the oven shelves to
lose their luster and become hard to slide. To make
the shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf
supports with cooking oil.
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part
of my self-cleaning oven?
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs
during cleaning?
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any
part of this oven. If you do use them and do not
thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it
absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically cleaned.
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the
CLEAR/OFF pad. Open the windows to rid the
room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and
the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up
the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven

CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to
help assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART
OF THE RANGE.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason,
be sure 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.
Control Panel and Knobs
Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Clean the control panel with mild liquid dish detergent
and a soft cloth. Rub the control panel lightly.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasives of any kind on the
control panel. The lettering on models with touch
pads is sensitive to abrasives and pressure.
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash
the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Cooktop Surface Light
When changing a cooktop light, do not touch the
metal at the ends of the light.
To replace:
• Place fingers on the top near each end of the light.
• Press the light into the slots until it snaps into place.
• Move the light cover down and snap into place.
The cooktop light is easily replaced with a fluorescent
tube of the same wattage. Before changing the light,
pull the plug to the range or disconnect the power at
the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
To remove:
• Lift the light cover by pulling the bottom edge
toward you and then up.
• Place fingers on top near each end of the light.
• Roll the top of the light gently toward the front of
the range and gently pull the light from the socket,
making sure it does not hit the light cover.
“Sure Grip” Handle
The soft door handle is easy to keep clean. Soil will easily wash off
with soap and water or a non-abrasive all-purpose cleaner. Avoid using
heavy-duty all-purpose cleaners and detergents, as they may contain
chemicals which might harm the sure grip handle.

Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable,
but it is heavy. You may need help
removing and replacing the door.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
This can cause the glass to break
or can cause damage to the door.
• Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. 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.

door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
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. Then lower the
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out. If the oven door is crooked, push
down on the high corner to straighten it.
Inside Gasket
Gasket
Outside Gasket
Outside of the door:
• Use 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. To avoid water marks inside
the glass front, do not let water drip into the vents.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside 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. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
• Spillage 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.
• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
scouring pad.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
Oven Light Replacement
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,
disconnect the electric power for your range at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the plug.
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely
before removing or replacing them. When in use, light
bulbs can become warm enough to break if touched
with a moist cloth or towel. When cleaning, avoid
touching warm lights with cleaning cloths if the light
cover is removed.
To remove: Hold your hand under the cover so it
doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of the same
hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off
the cover.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS.
• Replace bulb with 40-watt home appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
• Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull
the wire forward to the center of cover until it snaps
in place. When in place, the wire holds the cover
firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in the
center of the cover.
The oven light (bulb)
is covered with a removable
glass cover which is held in
place with a wire. Remove the
oven door, if desired, to reach
the cover easily.
• Connect electric power to the range.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Probe
The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap
and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the
temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn
spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.
Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.
Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.
Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the
grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-
filled or plastic scouring pad.
The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial
oven cleaner. If the grid is grey enamel, it can also be
cleaned with an oven cleaner. If the grid is chrome, do
not use an oven cleaner to clean it.
The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in
the self-clean oven. However, to prevent heavy smoke
caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you
must first clean off the excess grease.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove
burned-on foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in
the dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in
the range.
Oven Shelves and Convection Roasting Rack
Clean the oven shelves (including the offset shelf) and
the convection roasting rack with an abrasive cleanser
or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves and
rack with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves and convection roasting
rack may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven,
however, the shelves will darken in color, lose their
luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the
self-cleaning cycle. You can wipe the shelf supports
with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make the
shelves slide more easily.
How to Remove the Storage Drawer or Kick Panel to Clean Under the Range
The area under the range can be reached easily for
cleaning by removing the bottom drawer (on some
models). To remove, pull the drawer out all the way,
tilt up the front and remove it. To replace, insert glides
at the back of the drawer beyond the stop on range
glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let
the front of the drawer down, then push in to close.
To clean under
models with a front
kick panel, remove
the panel by pulling it
straight out at the
bottom. To replace the
panel, first hook the
top tabs on and then
the bottom tabs.

Painted Surfaces
Metal Parts
Glass Window
Painted surfaces include the sides,
control panel and drawer front.
Clean these with soap and water
or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven
cleaners, cleansing powders,
steel wool or harsh abrasives on
any painted surface.
Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia or commercial oven
cleaners. To safely clean surfaces;
wash, rinse and then dry with a
soft cloth.
To clean the outside of the oven
window, use a glass cleaner. Rinse
and polish with a dry cloth.
Oven Vent
(Electric Coil Models)
Oven Vent
(Glass Cooktop Models)
The oven is vented through an opening under the
right rear surface unit. Never cover the opening with
aluminum foil or any other material. This would
prevent the oven vent from working properly.
The oven is vented through an opening at the rear of
the cooktop. Never cover the opening with aluminum
foil or any other material. This would prevent the
oven vent from working properly.
Oven Vent
Oven Vent
Convection cooking cooks most foods faster. This faster cooking causes the oven vent to put out more steam
or water vapor than usual. The steam will condense on surfaces such as the cooktop, control panel and adjacent
pans. This is normal.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.
Broil Element
Bake Element
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the
oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate
around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
(Electric Coil 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.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Lift-Up Cooktop (Electric Coil Models)
Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up
for easier cleaning. To make cleaning easier, the
entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the
up position.
Be sure all surface units are turned off before
raising the cooktop. The surface units and drip pans
do not need to be removed, however, you may remove
one to make raising the cooktop easier. There are
2 side supports that lock into position when the
cooktop is lifted up. The surface units do not need
to be removed before lifting.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful
not to pinch your fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently
lower the cooktop until it rests in place.
Surface Units/Drip Pans (Electric Coil Models)
To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest
setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.
To replace a surface unit:
• Replace the drip pan into the recess in the
cooktop. Make sure opening in the pan lines up
with the receptacle.
• Insert the terminals of the surface unit through
the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.
CAUTION
• Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and
the surface units are cool before attempting to
remove them.
• Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.
• Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.
• Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.
• Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.
Drip Pans
• Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair
the plug-in receptacle.
Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.
For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place
them in a covered container (or a plastic bag) with
1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with
a soap filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse with
clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth.
To remove a surface unit:
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units
must be removed first.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Surface Unit
Clean the area under the drip pans often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.
Receptacle
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil
so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or
damage to the range.
Drip Pan
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan
and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch.
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.

LEVELING THE RANGE
ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION
AN ANTI-TIP bracket is supplied with instructions
for installation in a variety of locations. The
instructions include a template, a parts list and a
list of tools necessary to complete the installation.
Read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
and the instructions that fit your situation before
beginning installation.
The range must be level. Leveling feet are located
at each corner of the base of the range. Remove
the storage drawer or kick panel (depending on
your model) and using channel locks, rotate the
leveling feet in and out as required to level the
range. (For instructions on how to remove and
replace the storage drawer or the kick panel, see
the Cleaning Under the Range section in Care
and Cleaning.) On some models, there are plastic
covers which may be removed for easy
adjustment (just squeeze and pull).
WARNING
One of the rear leveling feet will engage the
ANTI-TIP bracket (allow for some side to side
adjustment). Allow a minimum clearance of 1/8-
inch between the range and the leveling foot that
is to be installed into the ANTI-TIP bracket.
Check the range for proper installation into the
ANTI-TIP bracket (after the range has been
properly installed) by removing the kick panel or
storage drawer and inspecting the rear leveling
leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
1. Range must be secured by ANTI-TIP bracket
supplied.
2. See instructions to install (supplied with
