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.  
I Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat  
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy  
spillovers that may ignite.  
I 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.  
I
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.  
I Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line  
surface 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.  
I Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly  
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.  
I Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the  
Room.  
I 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.  
I 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.

COOKTOP USE  
Cooktop Controls  
Ceramic Glass Use  
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It  
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat  
level.  
WARNING  
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to  
change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass  
cools, it will return to its original color.  
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it  
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more  
information, see General Cleaningsection.  
I
I
I
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a  
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the  
cooktop.  
Fire Hazard  
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.  
Turn off all controls when done cooking.  
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.  
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  
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.  
Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a  
setting. The controls can be set anywhere between HI and LO.  
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

I
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.  
Power On Indicator Lights  
The Power On Indicator lights beside the control knobs indicate  
which surface elements are turned on. A Power On Indicator light  
will glow when its corresponding surface element is turned on.  
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.  
I
I
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small  
expansion channels can be used.  
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry  
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits  
when heated.  
I
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

Cookware  
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
cooking area, element or surface burner.  
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-  
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy  
thickness.  
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper  
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used  
as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.  
The HOT surface indicator lights on the cooktop surface will glow  
when their corresponding surface elements are turned on. The  
HOT surface indicator lights will continue to glow as long as the  
elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.  
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.  
NOTE: Heat from the oven vent may cause the left rear HOT  
surface indicator light to glow, showing that the cooktop is too  
warm to touch.  
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material  
characteristics.  
Home Canning  
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.

Convection Cooking  
(on some models)  
2. Press START.  
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually  
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a  
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a  
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more  
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding  
crustier breads.  
The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display  
until the oven is turned off.  
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.  
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures  
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C) and cooking time can be shortened  
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.  
I
I
I
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain  
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.  
Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only  
when necessary.  
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with  
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

How the Cycle Works  
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the  
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and  
popping sounds.  
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil  
to a powdery ash.  
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, however  
the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours  
30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to  
4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.  
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp  
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven  
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the  
inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in  
the glass breaking.  
General Cleaning  
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and  
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions  
on cleaning products.  
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless  
otherwise noted.
