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 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
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, 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  
part of your range unless it is specifically  
recommended in this guide. All other servicing  
should be referred to a qualified technician.  
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT  
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE  
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL  
BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING  
OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.  
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven or  
near the cooktop.  
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments  
while using the appliance. Be careful when  
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the  
range. Flammable material could be ignited if  
brought in contact with hot surface units or  
heating elements and may cause severe burns.  
• 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
(continued)  
• For your safety, never use your appliance for  
warming or heating the room.  
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.  
• 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 heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container could  
burst, causing an injury.  
• Keep the hood and the grease filters  
clean to maintain good venting and to  
avoid grease fires.  
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.  
• Keep the oven free from grease  
buildup.  
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the range.  
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position  
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be  
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact  
the heating elements.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the  
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.  
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.  
If overheated, they can catch on fire.  
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 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.  
• Do not touch the surface units, 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 the surface units or any interior area of the  
oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.  
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.  
Self-Cleaning Oven  
• 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.  
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may  
be hot when the door is opened.  
• 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.

• 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.  
Cooktop and Radiant Surface Units

surface unit. 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 the cookware to the surface  
unit will also improve efficiency.  
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used  
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats  
melt slowly.  
• Never leave the surface units unattended at  
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and  
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.  
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.  
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 light 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 to clean the  
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 avoid possible damage to the cooking  
surface, do not apply the cleaning cream to  
the glass surface when it is hot.  
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.  
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to  
remove all the cleaning cream residue.  
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings  
on the cleaning cream labels.  
• Always turn the surface units off before  
removing the cookware.  
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or  
medium high heat settings.  
SAVE THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS  
• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn  
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread  
the flame.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE  
TO YOUR OLD ONE?  
This new range has a Radiant glass cooktop.  
The following information will help you understand  
the differences between the Radiant Cooktop and any  
other type you may have owned in the past.  
The radiant cooktop works differently than any  
other type, as to how it conducts heat and how it  
interacts with different types of cookware.  
Type of Cooktop  
Description  
How It Works  
Radiant  
(Glass Cooktop)  
Electric coils  
under a glass  
cooktop.  
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 after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if  
you want cooking to stop.  
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.  
Electric Coil  
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 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.  
Solid Disk  
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.  
Gas Burners  
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 Radiant Surface Units  
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a  
smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by  
outlines on the glass.  
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or  
surface on the glass surface when the surface is cool.  
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.  
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean  
it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top  
and makes clean-up easier.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

SURFACE CONTROLS  
At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight  
“clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit  
at the heat level or power level you set.  
Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than  
switching to lower settings.  
How to Set the Controls  
Push the knob in and turn in  
either direction to the setting  
you want.  
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you  
finish cooking.  
The surface unit “on” indicator light will glow  
when ANY surface unit is on.  
Dual Surface Unit Switch  
Light Over the Surface Units  
The right front surface unit has 2 cooking  
sizes to select from so you can match the  
size of the unit to the size of the  
cookware you are using.  
The switch must be pushed, held for  
several seconds, and released for the  
light to come on.  
SURFACE  
LIGHT  
To use the large (9-inch) surface unit, push in the  
right portion of the COIL SIZE switch next to the  
control knob. Push in and turn the control knob to  
the desired setting.  
To use the small (6-inch) surface unit, push in the left  
portion of the COIL SIZE switch. Push in and turn the  
control knob to the desired setting.

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. 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  
surface on the glass surface 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.  
Hot Surface Indicator Light  
A “HOT SURFACE” light will glow brightly when  
any radiant element is turned on, and will remain lit  
after the unit is turned off until the surface is cool  
enough to touch. Each element has its own “HOT

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS  
Types of Cookware  
The following information will help you choose  
cookware which will give good performance.  
Copper Bottom:  
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).  
Porcelain/enamel:  
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.  
Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth  
bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and  
fuse to the surface.  
Glass-ceramic: usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
Stoneware: usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
Cast Iron: usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
• 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 ensure proper contact.

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.  
SPECIAL CAUTIONS FOR GLASS COOKTOPS  
• Never cook directly on the  
glass. Always use  
cookware.  
• Do not slide cookware  
across the cooktop because  
it can scratch the glass—  
the glass is scratch  
resistant, not scratch  
proof.  
SURFACE  
COOKING  
DRAGGING  
• Don’t store heavy items  
above the cooktop. If they  
drop onto the cooktop,  
they can cause damage.  
• Always place the pan in  
the center of the surface  
unit you are cooking on.  
OFF CENTER  
DROPPING  
• Do not use the surface as a  
cutting board.

HOME CANNING TIPS  
Canning should be done on the cooktop 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  
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit  
circle 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.  
eventually harm the glass cooktop surfaces.  
Observe the Following Points in Canning  
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the  
surface unit. If your cooktop 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. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use  
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often  
found in enamelware) because they don’t make  
enough contact with the surface units and take  
too long 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 will  
be shortened by:  
RIGHT  
WRONG  
(1) using a pressure canner, and  
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating  
of large quantities of water.  
Flat-bottomed canners are required for  
glass cooktops.  
CAUTION:  
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.  
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.  
What is a Temperature Limiter?  
Every radiant surface unit has a Temperature  
Limiter. The Temperature Limiter protects the  
glass cooktop from getting too hot.  
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.  
The Temperature Limiter may cycle the units off  
for a time if:  
The 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 pan boils dry.  
• The pan bottom is not flat.  
• The pan is off center.  
• There is no pan on the unit.

GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING  
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.  
1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.  
DAILY CLEANING: Use only a recommended  
cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or the  
Cooktop Cleaning Creme, on the glass cooktop.  
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 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.

USING YOUR OVEN  
Before Using Your Oven  
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand  
how to set them properly. Read over the directions  
for the Oven Controls so you understand how to  
use them.  
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.  
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,  
especially during the first weeks of using your  
new range.  
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.  
Take a practice run at removing and replacing  
them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.  
Oven Shelves  
Bump  
The shelves are designed with  
stop-locks so that when placed  
correctly on the shelf supports,  
they will stop before coming  
completely out from the oven, and  
will not tilt when removing food  
from or placing food on them.  
To remove a shelf from the oven,  
pull it towards you, tilt the front  
end upward and pull it out.  
To replace, place the shelf on the  
shelf support with the stop-locks  
(curved extension of the shelf)  
facing up toward the rear of the  
oven. Tilt up the front and push  
the shelf toward the back of the  
oven until it goes past the bump  
on the shelf support. Then lower  
the front of the shelf and push it  
all the way back.  
When placing cookware on a shelf,  
pull the shelf out to the bump on the  
shelf support. Place the cookware  
on the shelf, then slide the shelf  
back into the oven. This will  
eliminate reaching into the hot oven.  
Shelf Positions  
The oven has 4 shelf supports as identified in this  
illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).  
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the  
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

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

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately  
using an oven control system. We recommend that  
you operate the range for a number of weeks using the  
time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar

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.  
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  
(continued)  
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.  
Baking Guides  
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions  
for the best baking results.  
Cookies  
Aluminum Foil  
When baking cookies,  
flat cookie sheets  
(without sides) produce  
better-looking cookies.  
Cookies baked in a jelly

around) may have  
Never entirely cover a  
shelf with aluminum

the heat circulation and  
result in poor baking. A  
smaller sheet of foil

inches below the food.  
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.

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.

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.  
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  
For 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.

BROILING  
Do not lock the oven door with the latch while  
Turn the food only once during  
broiling. Time the foods for the  
first side according to the  
Broiling Guide.  
broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.  
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 layer  
about 1/8 inch thick.  
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.  
4. Leave the door open to the  
broil stop position. The door  
stays open by itself, yet the  
proper temperature is maintained  
in the oven.  
5. Press the BROIL pad.  
6. Press the INCREASE pad once for LO Broil or  
press the INCREASE pad twice for HI Broil.  
3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position  
To change from HI Broil to LO Broil, press the  
DECREASE pad once. To change back to HI Broil,  
press the INCREASE pad once.  
as suggested in the Broiling Guide.  
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. Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent  
meat from sticking?  
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown  
as they should?  
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. 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 food only once during broiling.  
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?  
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always  
use a grid in the pan?  
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to  
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat  
with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows  
juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish,  
brush each side often with butter.  
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.

BROILING GUIDE  
Always use a broiler pan and grid. 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. These could 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 cooking time given in this guide  
If desired, marinate meats or chicken before  
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5  
to 10 minutes only.

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN  
Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours  
3. Clean spatters or spills on the oven front frame,  
Quick Reminder:  
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 INCREASE or DECREASE pad  
to set the Clean Time.  
Before a Clean Cycle  
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean  
the top, sides and outside front of the oven door  
with soap and water.  
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.  
We recommend venting with an open window or  
using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-  
clean cycle.  
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.  
1. Remove all cookware and any aluminum foil from  
the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning  
temperatures.  
NOTE: The oven shelves 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.

After a Clean Cycle  
After cleaning is complete, the door latch must be  
returned to its original position before you can use the  
oven. The oven door will stay locked until the oven  
cools. If you cannot slide the latch easily to unlock the  
door, allow additional time for cooling.  
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-  
filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly  
with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits  
are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by  
the clean cycle.  
Never force the latch handle. The latch slides  
easily. Forcing the latch handle may damage the  
door lock.  
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,  
repeat the cycle.  
If the shelves have become hard to slide, wipe the  
shelf supports with cooking oil.  
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just  
wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.  
NOTE: No functions can be programmed before the  
door automatically unlocks.

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. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled  
surface of my oven?  
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. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating  
and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not  
affect how your oven performs.  
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part  
of my self-cleaning oven?  
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?  
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash.  
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.  
It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.  
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is  
the matter?  
A. The self-clean cycle causes the oven shelves to  
lose their luster and become hard to slide. To make  
shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports  
with cooking oil.  
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs  
during cleaning?  
Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the  
self-clean cycle. Is this normal?  
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.  
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will  
lose some luster and change to a deep gray color.  
Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven  
is self-cleaning?  
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear  
during cleaning normal?  
A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can  
use the cooktop just as you normally do.  
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating  
and cooling during both the cooking and  
cleaning functions.  
Q. The word “door” appeared in the display when  
I selected the clean cycle. What’s wrong?  
Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?  
A. The door latch handle must be moved all the  
way to the right. Move the latch handle and  
cleaning will start.  
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few  
cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might  
also cause a strong odor when cleaning.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
Follow these directions carefully in caring for the  
radiant cooktop to help assure safe and proper  
maintenance.  
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.  
Be sure that the surface unit control knobs are turned  
off and that the entire cooktop is cool before cleaning.  
(Sugar spills are the exception. Please see the Glass  
Cooktop Cleaning section.) Do not use a cooktop cleaner  
on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your  
health and can chemically attack the glass surface.  
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE  
CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.  
Proper care and cleaning are important so your radiant  
range will give you efficient and satisfactory service.  
If soil, mineral deposits from evaporated water spills  
or metal rub-off from aluminum cookware is not  
removed, it will burn on the glass cooktop surface and  
cause permanent discoloration.

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 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.

open. Grasp firmly on each side  
and lift the door straight up and  
off the hinges.  
Inside Gasket  
Gasket  
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the  
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could  
snap back and pinch fingers.  
Outside Gasket  
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.  
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the  
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.  
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 on  
the inside of the door glass, do not let water drip into  
the vent openings.  
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.  
“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.  
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.

the broiler pan and grid  
from the oven. Remove  
the grid from the pan.  
Carefully pour out 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.  
Do not store a soiled pan and grid anywhere in  
the range.  
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in  
the dishwasher.  
How to Remove the Storage Drawer to Clean Under the Range  
The area under the range can be reached easily for  
cleaning by removing the bottom drawer. 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.  
Oven Light Replacement  
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,  
disconnect the electrical power to the range at the  
main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let  
the light cover and bulb cool completely.  
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS TO  
REMOVE COVER.  
2. Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth. Replace  
bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.  
The oven light bulb is covered with a removable  
glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped  
wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach  
cover easily.  
To replace cover:

Flooring Under the Range  
KNOCKOUT  
RING  
Your range, like many other household  
items, is heavy and can settle into soft  
floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl  
or carpeting. When moving the range on this  
type of flooring, it should be installed on a 1/4  
inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)  
as follows:  
BRACKET  
AFTER  
When the floor covering ends at the front of the  
range, the area that the range will rest on should  
be built up with plywood to the same level or  
higher than the floor covering. This will allow  
the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.

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  
bracket).  
3. Unless properly installed, range could be  
tipped by stepping or sitting on door. Injury  
might result from spilled hot liquids or from  
range itself.
