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 — 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..

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 units, areas near these un heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven. Both surface units and oven heating elements 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 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 high 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface 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 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—dreat 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or 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 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.

heating IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

- Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

COIL COOK TOP MODELS

- Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

- Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Porcelain Enamel Burner Grates, Cooktop Surface, Below Cooktop, Broiler Pan & Insert, Broiler Drawer, Door Liner & Oven Bottom	Clean burner grates, broiler pan & insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water & ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse & wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.
Oven Racks	Remove racks. See “Removing & Replacing Oven Racks” under Before Setting Oven Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner's recommendations. Rinse with clean water & let dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions).
Oven Door	Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
Stainless Steel	Clean stainless steel with hot soapy water & a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. DO NOT use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. DO NOT use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners form the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Cleaning Recommendations for Coil Element Cooktop

Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used.

Removing the Surface Elements & Drip Bowls

1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface element & drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end out from the terminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip from the drip bowl.

Element support Hold down clip (if equipped) Allow element support to rest on drip pan inside rim. Terminal end Terminal plug

CAUTION

Never immerse a surface element in water.

Be sure the range is cool before removing elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal ends when replacing elements after cleaning.

Cleaning the Drip Bowls

Wash in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse & dry while still warm. Hard to remove or burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia & water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water & polish dry with a soft cloth.

Replacing Drip Bowls & Surface Elements

1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite the terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip & snap into place.
3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with the terminal plug as shown.
4. Hold the surface element & drip bowl together as level as possible & firmly push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.

Solutions to common problems • BEFORE YOU CALL

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences (shown in bold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these problems are provided with the problem listed:

Problem Solution

Range is not level	(1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service	(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2) Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range 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 to be used.
Surface element does not heat	(1) 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. (2) No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this checklist. (3) Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is ON for the surface element to be used.
Entire appliance does not operate	(1) The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven. See "To Set the Clock" in the Setting Oven Controls section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet. (3) Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized service agent. (4) Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.
Oven does not operate	Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions "Entire appliance does not operate" in this checklist.
Oven light does not work (some models)	Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Manual.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling	(1) Control(s) not set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven Controls. (2) Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position. (3) 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. (4) Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models). (6) 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 "Broiling" in the Setting Oven Controls section.
Oven control beeps & displays any F code error (for example F11)	Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the Bake or Broil function again. If the F code error repeats, remove power supply to appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower the appliance and set clock time of day. Try the Bake or Broil function again. If the fault recurs, record fault number, press CLEAR/OFF & contact an authorized service agent.
Poor baking results	Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven & 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 Your Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.
Drip bowls are pitting or rusting	(1) Foods with acids, such as tomatoes if allowed to stand in or on drip bowls will cause corrosion. Remove & wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover. (2) Normal environment. Houses along coastal areas are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Drip bowls turning color or distorted	Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your appliance dealer.
