IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
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.
OpeagIructions
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.

■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.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass cooktop become broken.
■Never use the glass cooktop surface as a

■Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to
this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.

■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.
■When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
ips
■To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the
glass surface when it is hot.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
■After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
SafeyIructions
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
■ Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be

contact the heating elements.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of
aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
OpeagIructions
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in
the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.
■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also

About the radiant surface units…
SURFACE
COOKING
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
■Water 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.
SafeyIructions
■Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
■Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If
they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
■Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
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.
OpeagIructions
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.

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

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and

Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least 1
to 11⁄2″ of air space around it. If baking
four cake layers at the same time, place
two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger the pans on the rack so
one is not directly above the other.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.
The control will beep when the oven is preheated

Aluminum Foil
CnsmeSuport
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.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
frying, not broiling.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.

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