IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
I 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.
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
range, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
I
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.
I Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
I 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.
I
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.
I Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line

I Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven or near surface
units.
I 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.
I Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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.
I Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
I Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.

will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
Keep Warm Element
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.
WARNING
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.
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before
or after cooking.
I
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.
I
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.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
I
I
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.
Use the Keep Warm Element to keep cooked foods warm. One
hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food
quality.
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 use it to heat cold foods.
The Keep Warm Element can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used, and can be set from
MIN to MAX for different levels of heating.
I
I
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot
be removed completely.
The Keep Warm Element area will not glow red when cycling on.
However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Keep Warm
Element area is too hot to touch.
Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum
foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
I
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use.
I
I
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
I
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture
to escape.
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.
I
I
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

Home Canning
Cookware
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.
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.
I
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.
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.
I
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
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.
I
I
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.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.

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 due to the cycling of the elements.
CHOICE BAKE™Function
1. Oven Vent (coil element model)
The CHOICE BAKE™ function eliminates the top heat during
oven cooking. It is ideal for baking pies, casseroles and breads,
and for roasting foods that require longer and slower cook times
such as poultry and roasts.
1
Similar to the baking and roasting function, the bake elements or
burners cycle on and off at intervals during CHOICE BAKE™
fuction. However, the cycle duration for the broil element is much
shorter during CHOICE BAKE™ cycle, allowing less top
browning of foods and more customized control for your baking
results.
To Use:
1. Press CHOICE BAKE™ function.
1. Oven Vent (ceramic glass model)
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a
temperature other that 350°F (175°C) in five degree amounts.
The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (80°C
and 260°C).
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.
2. Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does
not need to be pressed again.
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.

3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
To use the CHOICE BAKE™ function during a regular BAKE cycle
to achieve less top browning, press CHOICE BAKE™ control, set
the desired temperature and press START.
Baking and Roasting
ACCUBAKE® DUO SYSTEM™ Temperature Management
Broiling
The ACCUBAKE® DUO SYSTEM™ electronically regulates the
oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain the most
uniform temperature control.
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.
Two temperature sensors will independently control the bake and
broil elements for optimal cooking results. 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.
I
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
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.
I
For proper draining, do not cover the broiler grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
I
I
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Pull out oven rack to the 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.
Press TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a temperature
other than 350°F (175°C) in five degree amounts. The bake
range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (80°C and
260°C).
2. Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step.
START does not need to be pressed again.

Timed Cooking
Sequence Programming
(on some models)
Sequence Programming allows you to program at one time up to
four cook functions, and can be used at the same time with other
oven functions, such as the Timer and Warming Drawer.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Sequence Programming takes precedence over any non-
sequenced cook function. For example, if an un-timed Bake
function is in process and a sequence program is started, the
un-timed Bake function will be canceled, and the program
sequence will start.
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour
before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
All steps of a sequenced program, except for the last step, must
be programmed with a stop time. If a stop time is not entered for
a step in the sequence program, and the FIRST/NEXT STEP pad
is pressed, three tones will sound.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain
time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off
automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as
breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
To Program the First Step of the Sequence:

How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
RANGE CARE
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
Self-Cleaning Cycle
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the
time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30
minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours
30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
(on some models)
WARNING
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in
the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
2. Press the HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a
clean time other than 3 hour 30 minutes. The clean time can
