unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in  
the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result  
in a risk of electric shock, or fire.  
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow  
basic precautions, including the following:  
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF  
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY  
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK  
IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE  
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET  
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE  
BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP  
BRACKET.  
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed  
utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking  
due to the sudden change in temperature.  
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend  
Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns,  
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to  
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a  
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and  
does not extend over adjacent surface units.  
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in  
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range –  
children climbing on the range to reach items could be  
seriously injured.  
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating  
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly installed  
elements should never be immersed in water.  
and grounded by a qualified technician.  
Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should  
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the  
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact  
a qualified technician immediately.  
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.  
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left  
alone or unattended in area where the range is in use.  
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of  
the range.  
Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is  
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to  
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments  
should never be worn while using the range.  
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.  
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the  
range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All  
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of  
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.  
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should  
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.  
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.  
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame  
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in  
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved  
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating  
element in oven.  
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on  
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let  
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel  
or other bulky cloth.  
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR  
SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even  
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven  
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,  
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials  
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until  
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the  
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among  
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near  
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.  
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR  
UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are  
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot  
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,  
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface  
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time  
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces  
facing the cooktop.  
For self-cleaning ranges –  
Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with one or  
more surface units of different size. Select utensils having  
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating  
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a  
portion of the heating element to direct contact and may  
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to  
burner will also improve efficiency.  
Do Not Clean 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.  
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat  
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers  
that may ignite.  
Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.  
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and  
other utensils.  
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place –  
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may  
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.  
For units with ventilating hood –  
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not  
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.  
When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Cooktop Controls  
Ceramic Glass  
(on some models)  
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It  
may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.  
WARNING  
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to  
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As  
the glass cools, it will return to its original color.  
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep  
it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On  
cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may  
be more visible, and may require more cleaning and care.  
Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For  
more information, see “General Cleaning” section.  
Fire Hazard  
Turn off all controls when done cooking.  
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.  
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a  
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the  
cooktop.  
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO.  
Push in and turn to setting. Use the following chart as a guide  
when setting heat levels.  
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the  
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped  
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could  
break when the lid is removed.  
SETTING  
HI  
RECOMMENDED USE  
Start food cooking.  
Bring liquid to a boil.  
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and  
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down  
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills  
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills  
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop  
and can cause pitting and permanent marks.  
Medium High  
Between MEDIUM  
and HI  
Hold a rapid boil.  
Quickly brown or sear food.  
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware  
across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough  
finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or  
marks on the cooktop.  
MEDIUM  
Maintain a slow boil.  
Fry or sauté foods.  
Cook soups, sauces and gravies.  
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers  
on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that  
cannot be removed completely.  
Medium Low  
Between MEDIUM  
and LO  
Stew or steam food.  
Simmer.  
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that  
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part  
of the entire cooktop.  
LO  
Keep food warm.  
Melt chocolate or butter.  
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a  
cutting board.  
REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop  
area may become hot.

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking  
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm)  
outside the area.  
Cookware  
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
cooking area, element or surface burner.  
B
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a  
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy  
thickness.  
A
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and  
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,  
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the  
cooktop or grates.  
C
A. Surface cooking area  
B. Cookware/canner  
C. ½" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang  
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is  
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has  
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,  
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the  
properties of aluminum.  
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and  
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or  
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor  
cooking results.  
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the  
broiler.  
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material  
characteristics.  
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler  
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,  
no space or light should be visible between it and the  
cookware.  
COOKWARE  
Aluminum  
CHARACTERISTICS  
Heats quickly and evenly.  
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small  
expansion channels can be used.  
Suitable for all types of cooking.  
Medium or heavy thickness is best for  
most cooking tasks.  
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry  
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits  
when heated.  
Cast iron  
Heats slowly and evenly.  
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly  
on the cooktop.  
Good for browning and frying.  
Maintains heat for slow cooking.  
Hot Surface Indicator Light  
On coil element and ceramic glass models, the hot surface  
indicator light is located on the console panel.  
Ceramic or  
Ceramic glass  
Follow manufacturer’s instructions.  
Heats slowly, but unevenly.  
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface  
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking  
area(s) is turned off.  
Ideal results on low to medium heat  
settings.  
Copper  
Heats very quickly and evenly.  
Home Canning  
Earthenware  
Follow manufacturer’s instructions.  
Use on low heat settings.  
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface  
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.  
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.  
Porcelain  
enamel-on-  
steel or cast  
iron  
See stainless steel or cast iron.  
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking  
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not  
extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking  
area or element.  
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or  
surface burners at the same time.  
Stainless steel  
Heats quickly, but unevenly.  
A core or base of aluminum or copper  
on stainless steel provides even

Oven Vent  
Broiling  
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the  
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control  
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the  
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish  
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.  
A
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to  
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.  
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be  
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for  
Part Number 4396923.  
A. Oven vent (ceramic glass model)  
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and  
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent  
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning  
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt  
or burn near the oven vent.  
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The  
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier  
cleaning.  
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on  
the edges to avoid curling.  
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing  
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very  
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.  
Baking and Roasting  
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the  
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is  
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to  
end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the  
recipe.  
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing  
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated  
oven, making cleaning more difficult.  
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is  
not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless  
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan,  
then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to the  
broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.  
To Bake or Roast:  
1. Press BAKE.  
Press TEMP/HOUR “+” (plus) or “-” (minus) pads to set a  
temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in 5° amounts. The  
bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (75°C and  
260°C).  
2. Press START.  
The temperature can be changed after this step.  
3. Press CANCEL/OFF when finished.  
Preheating  
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat  
conditioning. On some models, “PrE” will appear on the display.  
On some models, the time countdown will appear on the display.  
On some models, both “PrE” and the time countdown will appear  
on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone  
will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the  
display.  
To Broil:  
1. Open door to broil stop position.  
2. Press BROIL.  
3. Press START.  
4. Press CANCEL/OFF when finished.  
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as  
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for  
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven  
temperature to differ.  
To Custom Broil (on some models):  
1. Press BROIL.  
2. Press TEMP/HOUR “+” (plus) or “-” (minus) pads to change  
the temperature in 5°F (5°C) amounts. The broil range can be  
set between 300°F and 525°F  
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning  
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking  
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,  
baking soda and eggs.  
(150°C and 275°C).  
3. Press START.  
4. Press CANCEL/OFF when finished.
