WARNING!  
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire,  
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.  
WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE  
OpeagIructions  
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.  
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 manual. Failure to take this precaution  
could result in tipping of the range and injury.

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.  
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.

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.  
Do not touch the surface units, the heating  
elements or the interior surface of the  
oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to  
burn even though they are dark in color.  
During and after use, do not touch, or let  
clothing or other flammable materials  
contact the surface units, areas nearby the  
surface units or any interior area of the  
oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.  
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging  
garments while using the appliance. Be  
careful when reaching for items stored over  
the range. Flammable material could be  
ignited if brought in contact with hot  
surface units or heating elements and may  
cause severe burns.  
OpeagIructions  
Potentially hot surfaces include the  
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven  
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,  
crevices around the oven door.  
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp  
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in  
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders  
touch hot surface units or heating elements.  
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in  
place of pot holders.  
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven  
may be hot when the door is opened.  
Do not store or use combustible materials,  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and  
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other  
appliance.  
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.  
rdCleaing  
Keep the hood and grease filters clean  
to maintain good venting and to avoid

controls or any other part of the range.  
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.  
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot  
holders and other linens a safe distance  
from your range.  
Flame in the oven can be smothered  
completely by closing the oven door and

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS  
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit  
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct  
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will  
also improve efficiency.

solution may penetrate a broken cooktop  
and create a risk of electrical shock.  
Contact a qualified technician immediately  
should your glass cooktop become broken.  
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.  
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a  
cutting board.  
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.  
Do not place or store items that can melt or  
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when  
it is not being used.  
rdCleaing  
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.  
Always turn the surface units off before  
removing cookware.

hood, turn the fan on.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
CustomSrvice  
After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper  
towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.  
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
Read and follow all instructions and  
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.  
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The  
cooktop can be scratched with items such  
as sharp instruments; rings or other  
jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

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).  
SafeyIructions  
When placing and removing cookware,  
pull the shelf out until it stops.  
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt  
the front end up and pull it out.

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

Special Care for Sugary Spills  
Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper.  
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.  
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 Burned-On Soil to  
continue the cleaning process.  
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)

CustomSrvice  
Turn off all surface units affected  
by the spillover. Remove hot pans.  
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.  
Wearing an oven mitt, hold the  
razor scraper at a 45° angle to the  
cooktop. Scrape the hot spill to a  
cool area outside the surface unit.
