SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
ꢀ Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
ꢀ Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
ꢀ Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified
installer in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
ꢀ Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
ꢀ Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
ꢀ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the door, storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
ꢀ Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.
ꢀ Do not store flammable materials in
ꢀ Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
an oven or near the cooktop.
ꢀ
CAUTION:
Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of a
range—children climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.
ꢀ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
ꢀ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching for items stored
over the range. Flammable material could
be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surface units or heating elements and may
cause severe burns.
ꢀ Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
ꢀ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ꢀ For your safety, never use your appliance
ꢀ Do not store or use combustible materials,
for warming or heating the room.
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
ꢀ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
ꢀ Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
ꢀ Do not touch the surface units, the
heating elements or the interior surface
of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough to burn even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the surface units, areas
nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
ꢀ Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the range.
ꢀ Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.
ꢀ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance from
your range.
ꢀ Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,
crevices around the oven door.
ꢀ Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
ꢀ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.
ꢀ Never leave the surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
ꢀ To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container
should be turned toward the center of
the range without extending over nearby
surface units.
ꢀ Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop service; others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
ꢀ Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
ꢀ When preparing flaming foods under
the hood, turn the fan on.

or medium high heat settings.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugar spills are the exception
to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
ꢀ When the cooktop is cool, use only
CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE®
Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
ꢀ Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
ꢀ Use little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
ꢀ If a combination of oils or fats will be
used in frying, stir together before heating,
or as fats melt slowly.
ꢀ To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
ꢀ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
ꢀ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
ꢀ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all cleaning cream
residue.
ꢀ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.
The cooktop can be scratched with items
such as sharp instruments, rings or other
jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
ꢀ Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
ꢀ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
or cooktops can lead to broken or
shattered glass.
ꢀ Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock.
ꢀ Do not leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and will increase pressure
in closed containers, which may cause
them to burst.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass cooktop become broken.
ꢀ Never use the glass cooktop surface as
a cutting board.
ꢀ Do not leave plastic or flammable items
on the cooktop—they may melt or ignite
if left too close to the vent.
ꢀ Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even
when it is not being used.
ꢀ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
ꢀ Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause burns.

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A
through F), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the lowest
position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling
the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf
out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull
the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand in the
middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very
careful not to burn your hand on the door when using
the shelf in the lowest position (A).
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the shelf
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front
and push the shelf in.
The oven has 6 shelf positions.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
The Display will show “PrE” while preheating. When
the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven
control will beep and the display will show the oven
temperature.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible. If
baking with more than one pan, place the
1
pans so each has at least 1 to 1 ⁄2″ of air space
around it. If baking four cake layers at the
same time, place two layers on shelf B and two
layers on shelf D. Stagger pans on the shelf so
one is not directly above the other.
Center baking pans in the oven.
Aluminum Foil
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a
spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil
on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler
pan and broiler grid. However, you must
mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in
it just like the grid.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

To change to LO Broil, touch the
BROIL HI/LO pad again.
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare
steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler
and positioning the oven shelf one position
higher.
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
Leave the door open to the broil
stop position. The door stays open
by itself, yet the proper temperature
is maintained in the oven.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as
poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly
without over-browning them.

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust
the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the
texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or
stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
