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 flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE  
Cooktop Controls  
Ceramic Glass  
(on some models)  
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.  
WARNING  
It is normal for the surface of white and biscuit 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. On cooktops  
with white and biscuit ceramic glass, soils and stains may be  
more visible, and may require more cleaning and care. For more  
information, see “General Cleaning” section.  
Fire Hazard  
Turn off all controls when done cooking.  
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.  
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a  
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the  
cooktop.  
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO.  
Push in and turn to setting. On some models, the surface cooking  
area locator shows which element is turned on. Use the following  
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.  
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.  
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and  
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down  
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills  
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to  
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause  
pitting and permanent marks.

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.  
To Replace:  
1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element  
receptacle.  
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler  
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate 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.  
2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, slowly push the  
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.  
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) is turned off.  
Lift-up Cooktop  
(on some models)  
The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath.  
Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and  
the cooktop frame. For more information, see the General  
Cleaningsection.  
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls  
(on some models)  
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner  
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also  
help catch spills.  
To Lift:  
Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into  
place.  
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. For more  
information, see the General Cleaningsection.  
NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner  
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the  
Off position.  
To Remove:  
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then  
lift it enough to clear the burner bowl.  
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.  
Home Canning  
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.  
2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.  
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking  
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not  
extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking  
area or element.  
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or  
surface burners at the same time.  
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.  
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit  
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil  
element will be shortened. See Assistance or Servicefor  
ordering instructions.  
3. Lift out the burner bowl.  
For more information, contact your local agricultural  
department. Companies that manufacture home canning  
products can also offer assistance.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and 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 they 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 nonstick finish has  
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,  
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the  
properties of aluminum.  
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the  
broiler.

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.  
To Bake or Roast:  
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are  
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If  
you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.  
See Assistance or Servicesection to order. Ask for Part  
Number 4396923.  
1. Press BAKE. The bake oven indicator light will light up.  
2. Set the temperature (optional).  
Press TEMP/TIME upor downarrow pad to set a  
temperature other than 350°F (177ºC) in 5°F (3ºC) amounts.  
The bake range can be set between 170°F (77ºC) and 500°F  
(260ºC).  
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The  
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier  
cleaning.  
When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77ºC), no  
preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display.  
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on  
the edges to avoid curling.  
The preheat conditioning time will not change if the  
temperature is reset before the countdown time ends.  
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.  
If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting  
down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by  
pressing BAKE.  
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.  
3. Press START/ENTER.  
The oven control automatically sets preheating times based  
on the oven temperature selected.  
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.  
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.

RANGE CARE  
Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models)  
Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer:  
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may  
melt.  
WARNING  
Remove all items from the storage drawer.  
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.  
Burn Hazard  
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil  
to a powdery ash.  
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Keep children away from oven during  
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  
and 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.  
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 cooled completely could result in  
the glass breaking.  
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to  
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to  
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds  
to another closed and well-ventilated room.  
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil  
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.  
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to  
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.  
To Self-Clean:  
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or  
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.  
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air  
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see  
Oven Ventor Oven Ventssection.  
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.  
2. Press the TEMP/TIME upor downarrow pad to set a  
clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can  
be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.  
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The  
door gasket is essential for a good seal.  
3. Press START/ENTER.  
Prepare Oven:  
The oven door will automatically lock. The ON and DOOR  
LOCKED oven indicator lights will light up. The door will not  
unlock until the oven cools.  
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,  
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.  
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,  
damaging the oven.  
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, Endwill  
appear on the oven display and the oven indicator lights will  
go off.  
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.  
See General Cleaningsection for more information.  
4. Press OFF/CANCEL to clear the oven display.  
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area  
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to  
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough  
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,  
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this  
area.  
To Stop Self-Clean anytime:  
Press OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door  
will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.  
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.  
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,  
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not  
affect cooking performance.
