Do not use the oven or warmer drawer for storage. 3 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 SizeThis 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 UnitsTo reduce the risk of bums, 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 Units Unattended at High Heat Settings Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt. Protective LinersDo not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom, or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. Glazed Cooking UtensilsOnly certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturers recommendations for cooktop use. When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer 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 below the backguard. 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. Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.

The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the units are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas surrounding the surface units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns. The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to glass or difficulty in cleaning will result. Radiant Surface Units The Radiant Surface Unit is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic fixture below the glass cooktop. The unit temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the unit will cycle on and off. The heating unit retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. The amount of residual heat depends on the type and quality of cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat setting. Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped) The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within the same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for operating the different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The larger unit or both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage and can be used to prepare larger quantities of food in larger pans. When using the outer coil, both inner and outer coils operate. Indicator Light(s) There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your rangea surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator. The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any surface unit is turned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off. The hot cooktop surface indicator, located under the glass cooktop or on the control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. 7 Setting Surface Controls To Operate Radiant Surface Units (If equipped) The control knobs shown below are representational. The knobs on your range may not look exactly like those shown. 1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element. 2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit. 3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The hot cooktop surface light will continue to glow after the control knob is turned to off and will glow until the element has cooled sufficiently. The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. Setting HIGH (HI) MEDIUM HIGH (7-8) MEDIUM (4-6) MEDIUM LOW (2-3) SIMMER (1-SIM) Type of Cooking Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam vegetables Keep foods cooking, poach, stew Keep warm, melt, simmer Radiant Surface Unit Control 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. To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped) Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. Indicates inner coil only. Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn the Dual Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired setting as instructed above. 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 glasstop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too small for the element or if the pan bottom is not flat. After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to touch either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will turn dark in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if the units are touched at this time. Do not place plastic items such as 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 unit. Dual Radiant Surface Unit Controls 8 Setting Warm Zone Controls (if equipped) Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. To Operate the Warm Zone The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone. All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone. Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot. To Set the Warm Zone Control 1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO. However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different levels of heating. 2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The warm zone will remain warm until the hot surface indicator light goes off. Temperature Selection Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended heating levels. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.

Warm & Serve Zone Control Warm & Serve Zone Surface Indicator Hot Surface Indicator Light 9 Setting Warmer Drawer Controls (if equipped) Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated dinner plates. The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer. Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions The rack can be used in 2 ways: In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish under). In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates). Set the warmer drawer rack as shown below. To Operate the Warmer Drawer Your range is equipped with a warmer drawer. The purpose of the warmer drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer. All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the warmer drawer. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be hot.

Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting. 2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes. 3. When done, turn the thermostat control to OFF. Temperature Selection Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended settings. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the high setting. Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat from the drawer. Indicator Light The indicator light is located below the thermostat control. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The warmer drawer is inoperable during the self-clean cycle. The indicator light will not come on during the self-clean cycle. 10 Before Setting Oven Controls Oven Vent Location The oven vent is located below the backguard. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Arranging Oven Racks ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

Oven Cleaning 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 wellventilated room. 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. DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven). Self-Cleaning Oven A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with a damp cloth. 1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions: Allow the oven to cool before precleaning. Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after the self-clean cycle. DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven. 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. 2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures. 3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, 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 rack position). 4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the selfcleaning 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 cause a dull spot even after cleaning. 5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire: 1. Push CANCEL. 2. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR and the word "LOCKED" shown in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened. 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. Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle 17 Oven Cleaning (continued) To Start the Self-Clean Cycle *We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results). To Set the Controls for the Self-Cleaning Cycle To Start Immediately and Shut Off Automatically: 1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day. 2. Push 3. Push and hold . "CLN TIME" will appear in the display. or until "3 HR:00" appears in the display. Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you havelight, medium or heavy. *See above. 4. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the "LOCKED" indicator light will be displayed. (It takes about 15 seconds for the lock to close.) 5. The "Clean" light will come on. The "Oven" light will come on and cycle with the oven burner units. Note: If the self-cleaning cycle is cancelled while at a high temperature, make sure the word "LOCKED" is not in the display and the oven has cooled down for at least 1 HOUR before trying to open the oven door. To Set the Controls for the Self-Cleaning Cycle To Start at a Delayed Time and Shut off Automatically: 1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day. 2. Push 3. Push and hold . "CLN TIME" will appear in the display. or until "3 HR:00" appears in the display. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you havelight, medium or heavy. *See above. 4. Push STOP TIME. The time of day that the self-cleaning cycle ends will appear in the display. The words "CLN STOP TIME" will glow in the display. 5. Push and hold or until the time of day that you want the cleaning to be completed appears in the display. 6. The control will calculate backward from the set stop time to determine when the self-cleaning cycle should begin. The words "DELAY" and "CLN STOP TIME" will glow in the display. 7. The self-cleaning cycle will come on automatically at the calculated time. 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. At that time, the word "DELAY" will go out and "ON" will appear. When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed 1. The time of day will appear in the display window and the word "LOCKED" may remain in the display. 2. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR and the word "LOCKED" shown in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened. 18 General Cleaning Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER. Surfaces Aluminum (Trim Pieces) & Vinyl Glass, Painted and Plastic Control Knobs, Body Parts, and Decorative Trim How to Clean Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes.

It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among its many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop operation, beeping and flashing an error code of F1 or F3* in the display window. OCCURRENCE Range is not level. POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION 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. Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range. If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation. Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range 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 range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet. *Oven control beeps and displays F1 or F3. Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push CANCEL to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number, push CANCEL and contact an authorized servicer. Incorrect control setting.
