Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation instructions supplied with your range for proper installation.

- Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

WARNING

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

Do not use the oven, warmer drawer or lower oven (if equipped) for storage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• Storage in or on appliance—flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units or in the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE—children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, warmer drawer or lower double oven.

CAUTION

• Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface cooking elements, areas near these units or elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and oven door window.
• Wear proper apparel—loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

IMPORTANT

Do not attempt to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

CAUTION

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area around each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do not cook on broken cook top—If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cook top with caution—If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
• Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. 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 element will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do not immerse or soak removable heating elements—Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

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.

Types of oven racks flat handle oven rack flat oven rack half oven rack offset oven rack bottom oven rack

The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs. The half rack (some models) design comes with a removable section that allows for taller cooking utensils. The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than normal. This rack design provides several additional possible positions between the standard positions. To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat. The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) is described later in this section.

To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking and when roasting large cuts of meat.

IMPORTANT

Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack should be used in oven rack position 2. Placing any other rack in rack position 2 will prevent the oven door from fully closing.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Effortless™ Oven Rack system

Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food items. This feature works whenever the oven door is opened or closed.

To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:

1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a special dark coating on the left and right rack sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely cool before proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see previous page to verify positions). Be sure the rack connector brackets are at the rear of the range and pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of the connector arm to the hole in the door connector bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack position to match the length of the connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.

CAUTION

REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and accessories before starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide ability of the Effortless™ Oven Rack system will be damaged and will cause oven racks to loose their shiny finish and or turn blue. Remove ALL oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual.

Make sure the oven and oven racks are COMPLETELY cool and safe to touch before attempting to assemble or disassemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system. Never pick up hot oven rack parts.

IMPORTANT

Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should be used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other rack in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door from fully closing and may damage the oven door, oven cavity or the door connector brackets.

If the rack system is not assembled with the connector arms the Effortless™ Oven rack may be used in oven rack positions 2 through 6. Do not attempt to use the Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1). For best results when using a single oven flat rack, place cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2).

About the ceramic glass cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed cookware should be used.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

About the radiant surface elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

The single radiant elements will have one round outline pattern shown (See Figs. 3 & 4). The keep warm zone is designed to keep food warm only.

The dual radiant element allows the user to set the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and outer portions may be set to heat together (See Figs. 3 & 4). The triple (some models) radiant element works like the dual with an additional size setting that permits heating small, medium and large cookware from the same element position (See Fig. 3)

Quick boil feature (some models)

Your appliance may be equipped with one or two elements on the ceramic cooktop marked quick boil.

These radiant elements are best used when bringing larger quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

NOTE

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 3). For more information about the ceramic cooktop see "Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.

• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.
• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
• Made of a material that conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
  • Always match pot diameter to element size.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cooktop element power level display windows

The cooktop element power level display features provide a digital display for each of the heating positions located on the cooktop. Power levels are easily controlled and monitored using the window displays in combination with the corresponding control touch pads.

The Triple radiant heating element (some models) has 3 cooking sizes to select from. This feature allows you to match the size of the element to the size of the cookware you are using.

Available power level settings

The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig. 6) and OFF (Fig. 7).

The settings between 9.5 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between 2.8 (Figs. 4) and 1.2 (Fig. 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo (Fig. 6) for more precise settings at lower heat levels.

Use the "Suggested power level settings table" provided later in this section to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.

Hot surface window message (HE)

After using any radiant element the cooktop will be very hot. After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time. The corresponding HE (hot element-Fig. 8) message will remain ON and turn OFF once that element position on the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 7).

Lockout window message ( - - )

The (- -) message will appear whenever the lockout feature is active (See Fig. 9). Refer to the lockout instructions for complete lockout instructions.

Sabbath Day feature (Sb) message

The display windows will show the Sb message whenever the Sabbath Day feature is active (Fig. 10). When activated, the Sabbath Day feature works for both the oven and cooktop together.

Once the Sabbath Day feature is active, changes to the heat levels for the cooktop elements will not show in the displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level changes. See "Setting the Sabbath Day feature" for complete instructions.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Single radiant surface elements

The cooktop has 2 single radiant surface elements. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then set to a lower setting to finish cooking. The suggested power level settings found in Fig. 1 are based when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

To operate a single radiant surface element: Step Press

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Press and hold the on-off for the desired element position until a beep is heard.
3. Press lo, med (5.0) or hi.

Each touch of the lo or hi pad will decrease or increase the power level by 1/2 from 9.5 through 3.0. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. lo is the lowest power level available.

1. Once cooking has completed, press on-off. on-off

CAUTION

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

IMPORTANT

The HE (hot element) message will appear in the display windows once a heating element is turned OFF and will remain ON until the heating surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

NOTE

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Dual radiant surface elements

The cooktop provides 1 or 2 dual radiant surface elements, depending on your model type. Indicator lights located on the backguard show which portions of the dual radiant element are set to heat. The symbol indicates the inner coil only and should be used with smaller cookware (Fig. 1). The symbol indicates both inner and outer coils will heat together and may be used for larger cookware (Fig. 2).

A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then set to a lower setting to finish cooking. See the Suggested power level settings table (provided in the instructions for the single radiant elements)

To operate dual radiant surface elements: Step Press

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual radiant surface element.
2. Press and hold the on-off on-off for the desired element position until a beep is heard.

Triple radiant surface element (some models)

Depending on your model, the cooktop may have a triple radiant element. Indicator lights located on the backguard show which portions of the triple radiant element are set to heat. The symbol indicates only the inner coil will heat and should be used for smaller cookware (Fig. 1). The symbol indicates both inner and middle coils will heat and may be used for medium to large cookware (Fig. 2). The indicates that all 3 coils will heat together and should be used for larger cookware (Fig. 3).

A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then set to a lower setting to finish cooking. See the Suggested power level settings table (provided in the instructions for the single radiant elements).

Convect bake (all models)

Benefits of the convect feature

— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
— Multiple rack baking.
— No special pans or bakeware needed.

Convect uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Layer cakes will have better results using the bake pad. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with the convect feature.

Suggestions for convect baking

1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
2. Reduce oven temperature 25^ F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (Fig. 1).

Meats cooked with convect roast will be juicer and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

NOTE

When choosing between the convect features, use the convect keypad to toggle between convect bake, convect roast or convect broil (some models) choices.

Suggestion for convect roast

1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using convect roast.
2. Since convect roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
3. Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.

Suggestions for convect broil:

1. Be sure to carefully follow all the recommended broil pan and insert instructions and the directions for placing the oven racks as provided in the "Broil" section in this Use & Care Guide.
2. Since convect broil cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
3. Close the oven door when using convect broil.

The convection fan will begin rotating once convection bake or convection roast has been activated.

When using convect convert cook time reductions may vary depending on the oven set temperature.

The minimum amount of cook time allowed using the convect convert feature with a bake time or a delay time bake setting is 20 minutes.

Layer cakes will have better results using the normal bake feature.

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at http://www.star-k.org.

WARNING

FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

The bake time and delay start pads are used to set the Sabbath feature. The Sabbath feature may only be used with the bake feature. The oven temperature may be set higher or lower after setting the Sabbath feature (the oven temperature adjustment feature should be used only during Jewish Holidays), however the display will not be visible and no audible tones will be provided when a change occurs.

Once the oven is properly set using the bake feature with the Sabbath mode active, the oven will remain continuously ON until cancelled. The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 6-Hour Energy Saving feature.

If the oven light(s) are needed during the Sabbath, press the oven light pad before activating the Sabbath feature. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath feature is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath feature is turned OFF. If the oven light needs to be off, be sure to turn the oven light off before activating the Sabbath feature.

It is recommended that any oven temperature change with the Sabbath feature active be followed with 2 presses of the start pad. This will insure the oven remains ON even if the attempt to set the oven temperature was lower or higher than the oven control can accept. If the oven temperature is set incorrectly, the oven temperature will default to 170°F or 550°F. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.

To program the oven for 350°F bake and activate the Sabbath feature: Step Press

1. Be sure that the clock is set with the correct time of day.

2. Arrange the oven racks and place the food in the oven and close door.

3. Press bake.

SF will disappear from the display and the oven may be used with all normal functions.

NOTES

If a delay start time longer than 12 hours (maximum of 24 hours) in advance is desired, set the display mode for the 24 hour setting. For detailed instructions see the section "Setting 12 or 24 hour display modes".

It is not advised to attempt to activate any other program feature except BAKE while the Sabbath feature is active. ONLY the following key pads will function correctly with the Sabbath feature: 0-9 number pads, bake, start & cancel. ALL OTHER KEYPADS should not be used once the Sabbath feature is activated.

You may change the oven temperature once baking has started. Press bake, enter the oven temperature change (170 to 550F°) and press start (for Jewish Holidays only). Remember that the oven control will no longer beep or display any further changes once the oven is set for the Sabbath feature.

If the keep warm feature was activated and the Sabbath feature was set the keep warm feature will automatically shut-off the oven off after 3 hours.

KEEP WARM DRAWER

Operating the keep warm drawer (some models)

The purpose of the keep warm drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperatures. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the keep warm drawer; always start with hot food.

The keep warm drawer may also be used to warm dinner plates. All food placed in the keep warm drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality.

WARNING

• Storage in or on appliance—flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE—children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance, including the warmer drawer.

CAUTION

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

IMPORTANT

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean up. Use only utensils and cookware recommended by the manufacturer for use in the keep warm drawer.

Keep warm drawer indicator light

The keep warm drawer indicator light is located beside the on-off key (See Fig. 1). It turns on when the keep warm drawer is turned ON, and stays on until the keep warm drawer is turned OFF.

Self-cleaning

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Your oven allows you to set 3 different self-cleaning cycle durations. A 3-hour cleaning time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a 4-hour time option for heavier burnt-on soils.

IMPORTANT

Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage (See Fig. 1).
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.
• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not removed they will loose their special coating properties and no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity effortlessly.
• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. These areas are shown in Fig. 1.

CAUTION

During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.

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.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

CARE & CLEANING

Cooktop maintenance

IMPORTANT

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
  • Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Diagram illustrating a prohibition symbol with arrows and circles, indicating restricted use or no restrictions.

Cooktop cleaning

CAUTION

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to clean food on a kitchen counter, with a fork and knife nearby (no text or symbols)

Cooktop cleaning (cont'd)

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately.

After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

WARNING

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

IMPORTANT

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop

• Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Replacing the oven light

The light bulb is located at the rear of the oven and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the oven light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.
2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.
3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see "Setting the clock" in this Use & Care Guide.

CAUTION

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

Problem Solution
Poor baking results.	Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Oven Temperature" section in this Use & Care Guide.
Appliance is not level.	Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.	Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted over carpet.
Surface element too hot or not hot enough.	Incorrect control setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element that you are attempting to use.
Surface element does not heat.	Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
Entire appliance does not operate.	The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven. See "Setting the clock" in the Setting oven controls section.Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized service agent.Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.
Oven portion of appliance does not operate.	Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature. See Setting Oven Controls in this manual or read the instructions "Entire appliance does not operate" in this checklist.
Oven light does not work.	Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see "Changing & replacing the oven light" section.
Self-cleaning cycle does not work.	Oven control not set properly. Follow instructions under Self-cleaning.Self-Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-cleaning cycle" under Self-cleaning.

BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems

Problem Solution
Soil not completely removed after self-cleaning cycle.	Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling.	Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for searing.Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.Broiler pan and insert wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models).Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent.	Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see "About broiling" in the Setting Oven Controls section.
Oven control panel beeps & displays any F code error (for example F10)	Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press CANCEL to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the F code error repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the fault recurs, record fault and call for service.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface.	Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance in the Care and Cleaning section of this Use & Care Guide.Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
Metal marks on the cooktop.	Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care and Cleaning section.
Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface.	Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen on cooktop surface.	Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
