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, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

▲ WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE

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.

Check if the device is installed and engaged properly. Make sure the chain fits securely into the slot in the bracket.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

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 installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

■ Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

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.

■ Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.

■ 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 allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

- Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
  ■ Never leave jars or cans of fat dripping in or near your range.
• 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.
  ■ CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash (on some models) of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
  ■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.
  ■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range.
  ■ Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.
  ■ 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.
  ■ For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

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 potholders.
- 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160^ F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180^ F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

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 heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
- Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
- Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.
■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
  ■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.
  ■ Do not use the 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.
  ■ After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch on fire the next time you use the pan.
  Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

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.
• Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
  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.

■ 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

⚠ WARNING! SURFACE COOKING 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.
- Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.
■ Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
■ 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.
■ Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
- Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the surface units in the oven.
■ When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.
- Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
- 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.
■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
- Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures.
■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
- Do not allow water, other liquids or grease to remain on the cooktop or the control panel.

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.

■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Do not stand on the glass cooktop. The weight may cause the top to break.

■ Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage the cooktop and the pan.
■ 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.

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.

■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.

■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.

■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.

- Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Using the surface units.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

How to Set

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.

At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the power level you set.

A surface unit ON indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.

Two line drawings of a cooking pan and its side view, showing a handle and a pan with a 1-inch base (no text or symbols)

Not over 1 inch.

Surface Cookware Tips (electric coil models only)

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Two simple line drawings of cooking utensils: a pan with a crossed-out box and a bowl with a handle (no text or symbols)

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Wok Cooking (electric coil models only)

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

HOT SURFACE

Indicator Lights (glass cooktops only)

A HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when any radiant element is turned on, and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch.

It comes on when the unit is hot to the touch.
It stays on even after the unit is turned off.
It glows brightly until the unit is safe to touch.

Deep Fat Frying

Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously.

Watch food frying at high temperatures. Keep range and hood clean from grease.

SURFACE COOKING

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

OFF CENTER

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

About the radiant surface units... (glass cooktops only)

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

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.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

■ Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
■ 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.
- Don't store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
■ Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

DRAGGING

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

Temperature Limiter (glass cooktops only)

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if:

The pan boils dry.
■ The pan bottom is not flat.
The pan is off center.
■ There is no pan on the unit.

Dual Surface Unit Switch (glass cooktops only)

The left rear surface unit has two cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware you are using.

To use the large (9-inch) surface unit, push in the top 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 bottom portion of the COIL SIZE switch. Push in and turn the control knob to the desired setting.

Selecting types of cookware. (glass cooktops only)

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Simple line drawing of a hand holding a ruler above a blank rectangular object (no text or symbols)

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

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.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Three identical cooking pots with black X-shaped warning symbols, likely indicating no cooking allowed or blocked cooking.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

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 bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Home Canning Tips:

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball ^® and Kerr ^® and the department of Agriculture Extension Service.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Simple line drawing of a frying pan and a bowl with crossed black lines (no text or symbols)

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the cooktop.

Do not use round bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

1 Press the BAKE pad.

2 Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the oven temperature.

To change the oven temperature during the Bake cycle, press the BAKE pad and set the new temperature.

3 Press the START pad. When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature will be in the display. The display starts changing once the temperature reaches 100°F.

4 Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished.

Type of Food Shelf Position

Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) B or C

Angel food cake, A bundt or pound cakes

Biscuits, muffins, brownies, B or C

cookies, cupcakes,

layer cakes, pies

Casseroles B or C

NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 10–15 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 1½" between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

Illustration of a hand holding a rectangular object with grid-like patterns (no text or symbols)

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

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.

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.

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.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

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.

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.

Using the self-cleaning oven.

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove the shelves, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub ^® . Rinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.

■ You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.
■ While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, press the COOKING TIME pad.
If the shelves become hard to slide, apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the 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.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.

Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Control Panel

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

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.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable for easier access to the light bulb.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door, open it to the broil stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the broil stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges and slowly lower it over both hinges.

To clean the 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.
The area outside the gasket and the front frame can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the 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. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
■ 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.
■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Oven Shelves

Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

To make the shelves slide more easily apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides and the drawer front.

Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.

Surface Units (electric coil models only)

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch. If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop. Make sure the opening in the pan lines up with the receptacle.

Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.

Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair the plug-in receptacle.

Drip Pans (electric coil models only)

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.

For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place them in a covered container (or a plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse with clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.

Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the range.

Support rod

Be sure all surface units are turned off before raising the cooktop.

Lift-Up Cooktop (electric coil models only)

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.

To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position.

Be sure all the surface units are turned off before raising the cooktop. The surface units and drip pans do not need to be removed, however, you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier.

A support rod will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

Care and cleaning of the range.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.

Broiler Pan & Grid

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the 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.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the range.

To remove:

Pull the drawer straight out and lift over the guide stops.

To replace:

Lift over the guide stops and slide the drawer into place.

To clean both the inside and the outside: Wipe with soap and water. Rinse well.

Do not use cleansing powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the surface.

If the range is removed for cleaning or any reason, make sure the chain is reattached.

Optional bracket location Factory bracket location Backsplash (on some models) Chain Back of range

Anti-Tip Device

Before placing range in the counter, notice the location of the stability bracket which is already attached to the back of the range. This location should work for most installations. However, it may be more convenient to hook the stability chain to the unit when the stability bracket is attached to the upper set of holes in the back of range.

The upper level set of holes is intended for use with a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not being used, make sure that there are no structural supports for the countertop which will interfere with the stability bracket when located in the upper set of holes.

Wall Chain Floor Washer and long screw

2 Fasten one end of the stability chain to the floor or wall with the long screw and washer supplied.

NOTE: If attaching to masonry, you can buy suitable screws and anchors at hardware stores. Use a masonry drill to drill the required holes.

Chain Long screw Washer Wall plate

Make certain the screw is going into the wall plate at the base of the wall or one of the studs in the base of the wall.

Whether you attach the chain to the wall or floor, be certain that the screw is in at least 3/4 inch thickness of wood other than baseboard and that there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the area which the screw could penetrate. Attach the stability chain in a location which will allow the chain to be in line with the bracket side to aide as much as possible when attached to the unit. Test to see if the chain is securely fastened by tugging on the chain.

Tape

3 Temporarily attach the loose end of the chain to the rear of the countertop with the tape from the packaging.
4 Place the range in the counter cutout leaving just enough room between the back of the range and the wall to reach the stability bracket.
5 Hook the loose end of the chain onto the bracket by slipping the nearest link of the chain into the slot in the bracket. Make sure the chain is pulled as tight as possible and that there is no excess slack in the chain after the chain is attached to the bracket.
6 Slide the range all the way back into the counter. Once the range is pushed back in place, there will be a small amount of slack in the chain. This is normal.

CAUTION: Excessive slack in the chain could allow the range to tip over.

Cleaning the glass cooktop. (on some models)

Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for the first time. Also, clean the glass surface after each use. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.

To clean the cooktop seal around the edge of the glass, 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.

Normal Cleaning

Use only a recommended cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or another cooktop cleaning cream, on the glass cooktop.

To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass cooktop follow these steps.

Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.

2 Clean the surface with the cleaning cream after each use.

3 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.

Simple line drawing of a mechanical component with no text or symbols

Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface if the 45^ angle is maintained.

For Heavy, Burned-On Soil...

1 Allow the cooktop to cool.

2 Apply a few drops of cleaning cream to the cool, soiled area. Spread the cream across the entire soiled area.

3 Hold scraper at a 45^ angle against the glass ceramic surface. This 45^ angle makes the scraping easier.

4 Scrape soil with the enclosed razor scraper. Keep small amount of cream on the soil as you scrape. Heavily soiled areas may require repeated applications of cream. It will be necessary to press down on

the razor scraper while scraping the soiled area with cooktop cream.

Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

5 If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.

Our testing shows that if you are cooking high sugar mixtures such as jelly or fudge and have a spillover, permanent damage to the cooktop surface may occur unless the spillover is immediately removed.

Special Care for Sugary Spills

Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

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.

1 Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover. Remove hot pans.
2 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.

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 Burned-On Soil to continue the cleaning process.

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.
