IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE
Iructions
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
Operating
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, secure the attached anti-tip bracket, under the rear
countertop.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, press down on the front corners of the range.
Make sure it fits securely under the rear countertop.
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.
rdCleaing
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
T
rubleshotingT
■Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
■Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. 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 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.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door or cooktop. They could damage
the range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
ips
■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
CustomSrvice
■ CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a
range—children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.

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.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
■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.
Iructions
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
Operating
■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.
rdCleaing
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.
■Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■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 nearby surface units.
■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.
■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.

■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

units off before removing cookware.
■When preparing flaming foods under the

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls
have been turned off.
SafeyIructions
■Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such as
sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and
rivets on clothing.
■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.
■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.
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

Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary
20–40°F.

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.
T
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
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) unless the spill is
removed while still hot. Special care should
be taken when removing hot substances.
rubleshotingT
T
Using a razor scraper will not
damage the surface if the 30° angle
is maintained.
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 30° angle to the cooktop.
Scrape the hot spill to a cool area
outside the surface unit.
