IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,  
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface  
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in  
the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result  
in a risk of electric shock, or fire.  
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow  
basic precautions, including the following:  
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF  
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY  
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK  
IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE  
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET  
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE  
BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP  
BRACKET.  
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed  
utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking  
due to the sudden change in temperature.  
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend  
Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns,  
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to  
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a  
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and  
does not extend over adjacent surface units.  
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in  
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range –  
children climbing on the range to reach items could be  
seriously injured.  
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating  
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly installed  
elements should never be immersed in water.  
and grounded by a qualified technician.  
Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should  
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the  
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact  
a qualified technician immediately.  
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.  
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left  
alone or unattended in area where the range is in use.  
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of  
the range.  
Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is  
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to  
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments  
should never be worn while using the range.  
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.  
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the  
range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All  
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of  
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.  
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should  
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.  
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.  
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame  
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in  
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved  
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating  
element in oven.  
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on  
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let  
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel  
or other bulky cloth.  
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR  
SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even  
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven  
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,  
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials  
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until  
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the  
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among  
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near  
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.  
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR  
UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are  
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot  
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,  
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface  
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time  
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces  
facing the cooktop.  
For self-cleaning ranges –  
Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with one or  
more surface units of different size. Select utensils having  
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating  
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a  
portion of the heating element to direct contact and may  
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to  
burner will also improve efficiency.  
Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential  
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,  
or move the gasket.  
Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven cleaner  
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used  
in or around any part of the oven.  
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat  
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers  
that may ignite.  
Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.  
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and  
other utensils.  
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place –  
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may  
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.  
For units with ventilating hood –  
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not  
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.  
When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE  
Hot Surface Indicator Light (on some models)  
On ceramic glass models, the hot surface indicator light is located  
on the console panel.  
WARNING  
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface  
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking  
area is turned off.  
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls (on some models)  
Fire Hazard  
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner  
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also  
help catch spills.  
Turn off all controls when done cooking.  
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.  
Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) over the coil  
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess  
heat, causing the burner bowl to change color.  
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO.  
Push in and turn to setting.  
Dual Cooking Zone (on some models)  
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models)  
during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may  
become hot.  
The Dual Cooking Zone offers flexibility depending on the size of  
the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular  
element. The dual size combines both the single and outer element  
and is recommended for larger size cookware.  
Ceramic Glass (on some models)  
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It  
may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.

Baking and Roasting  
The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake  
element will glow red when cycling on; the broil element will not.  
This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.  
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to  
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not  
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting  
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.  
Preheating  
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once  
170ºF (75ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as  
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat  
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected  
temperature will appear on the display.  
Broiling  
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the  
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control  
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.  
Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry  
may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.  
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless  
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan,  
then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to the  
broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.  
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to  
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.  
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.
