WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, 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.

??? CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back- guard of a range ??? children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

???Proper Installation ??? Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

???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.

???Wear Proper Apparel ??? Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the range.

???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.

???Storage in or on the Range ??? Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

???Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires ??? Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

???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 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.

???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 under- sized 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.

???Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings ??? Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

???Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place ??? Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components under- neath to damage.

???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.

???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.

???Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements ??? Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

???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.

???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.

???Use Care When Opening Door ??? Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

???Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers ??? Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

???Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

???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.

???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.

For self-cleaning ranges ???

???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.

???Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

???Before Self-Cleaning the Oven ??? Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

COOKTOP USE

CooktopControls

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The control knobs can be set anywhere between HI and LO. Push in and turn to setting. The surface cooking area locator shows which element is turned on. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

CeramicGlass

(onsomemodels)

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level.

It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see ???General Cleaning??? section.

???Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.

???Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

???Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface indicator light goes off. If not wiped up while warm, surface pitting can occur.

???Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or Copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

???Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

???Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

???Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

???Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the area.

1.Surface Cooking Area

2.Cookware/Canner

3.1" (2.5 cm) Maximum Overhang

???Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

???Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While rotating the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

???Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.

???Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

???Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass)

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(s) are turned off.

HOT SURFACE

CoilElementsand

BurnerBowls

(onsomemodels)

Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills.

Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more information, see the ???General Cleaning??? section.

Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are off.

To Remove:

1.Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.

2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

3. Lift out the burner bowl.

To Replace:

1.Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element receptacle.

2.Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push coil element terminal into the receptacle.

3.When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the receptacle.

Lift-upCooktop

(onsomemodels)

The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath. Be careful not to drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and the cooktop frame. For more information, see the ???General Cleaning??? section.

To Lift:

1.Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into place.

To Replace:

1.Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support rods back to unlock them.

2.Slowly lower the cooktop into place.

HomeCanning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

???Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

???Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.

???On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.

???On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element will be shortened. See ???Assistance or Service??? for ordering instructions.

???For more information, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well- fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

OvenIndicatorLights

The indicator lights are located to the left of, below, and within the display. The indicator lights light up or flash when the oven is in one of the following modes: BAKE, BROIL, HEAT, START?, ON, TIMER, COOK TIME/TIMED cooking (on some models), and START TIME/DELAY cooking (on some models).

Display

When power is first supplied to the appliance, ???PF??? will appear on the display. Press OFF to clear.

(on some models) will appear on the display. ???LOC??? will also appear whenever any command pad is pressed while the control is locked.

Repeat to unlock. ???LOC??? and ???LOCK???D??? (on some models) will disappear from the display.

OvenTemperatureControl

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may give incorrect readings.

The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1.Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example ???00.???

2.Press the TEMP ???up??? or ???down??? arrow pad(s) to increase or to decrease the temperature in 10??F (6??C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30??F (18??C) and -30??F (-18??C).

3.Press START/ENTER.

BEFORE USING

Odors are normal when the range is new. This happens the first time the oven is used.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

AluminumFoil

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

???Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.

???To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

???Do not cover food with aluminum foil when convection cooking (on some models).

PositioningRacksandBakeware

Racks

Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. Use the following graphic and chart as a guide to place racks for specific foods.

Bakeware

Hot air must be able to circulate around food to cook evenly, so allow 2 in. (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

MeatThermometer

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

???Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

???After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat ???????? in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

???Check all meat in two or three places.

Bakeware

The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer???s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

???Light golden crusts

???Even browning

OvenVent

???Crisp crusts

1. Oven Vent (ceramic glass model)

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the element.

OVEN USE

BakingandRoasting

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the ???Positioning Racks and Bakeware??? section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.

To Bake or Roast:

1.Press BAKE. The bake oven indicator light will light up.

2.Set the temperature (optional).

Press TEMP/TIME ???up??? or ???down??? arrow pad to set a temperature other than 350??F in 5?? amounts. The bake range can be set between 170??F and 500??F.

When the oven temperature is greater than 170??F, no preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display.

The preheat conditioning time will not change if the temperature is reset before the countdown time ends.

If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE.

3.Press START/ENTER.

The oven control automatically sets preheating times based on the oven temperature selected.

The temperature can be changed after this step. START/ ENTER does not need to be pressed again.

After the oven is preheated and the countdown time is finished, a 1-second tone will sound, the ON indicator light will go off and the set temperature will appear on the display.

4.Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.

Preheating

After START/ENTER is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning. ???PrE??? and the time countdown will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.

Waiting an additional ten minutes after the preheat conditioning time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.

BroilingandCustomBroiling

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.

???Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.

???For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

???Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to prevent curling.

???Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

???After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling Chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the 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.

To Broil:

1.Press CUSTOM BROIL. The broil oven indicator light will light up.

2.Press START/ENTER. The On and Heat oven indicator lights will light up.

The temperature setting can be changed any time before or after pressing START/ENTER. See ???Custom Broiling??? section.
