IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
■ 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.
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 OR WALL, AND
SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS
UNDER ANTI-TIP 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 flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Cookware
COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
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 or grates. 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.
WARNING
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.
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a
setting. The controls can be set anywhere between HI and LO.

Cooktop On Indicator Lights
The Cooktop On lights above the control knobs indicate which
surface elements are turned on. A Cooktop On indicator light will
glow when its corresponding surface element is turned on.
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls
Home Canning
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also
help catch spills.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of elements
between batches. This allows time for the most recently used
areas to cool.
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 Cleaning” section.
■
Center the canner on the element. Canners should not extend
more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the element.
■
■
Do not place canner on 2 elements at the same time.
NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the
Off position.
For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.

Before delay starting Self-Clean, make sure the door is closed
completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to

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.
Choosing a cleaning level automatically programs the self-
cleaning time.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
After 4 seconds, “CLEAN,” “DELAY,” and “LOCK” will appear
in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean
operation. The delay time is displayed.
The oven is preset for a 3 hour clean cycle, however the time can
be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and
between 3 hours and 4 hours for average to heavy soil.
To change the delay self-clean time:
1. Press DELAY.
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.
“DELAY” flashes and “00:00” will appear in the display.
2. Press the “up” or “down” arrow pads to enter the amount of
time you want to delay the cycle.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
After 4 seconds, “CLEAN,” “DELAY,” and “LOCK” will appear
in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean
operation. The delay time is displayed.

To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when
”LOCK” is displayed.
When the self-clean cycle starts:
“DELAY” will turn off and the clean time will appear in the display.
To Self-Clean:
1. Close the oven door.
To Stop Self-Clean Anytime:
Press CANCEL. All words disappear from the display. All
functions are canceled. The time of day appears in the display.
2. Move the door lock lever to the right to the locked position.
3. Press CLEAN.
4. Press the “up” or “down” arrow pad.
Depending on the actual oven temperature when self-clean is
canceled, the oven door may remain locked until the oven cools.
CL-M (Clean - Medium soil, 3 hours) appears in the display.
If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and “door” will
appear in the display until the door is closed and the Clean
pad is pressed again. If the door is not closed within
45 seconds, the self-cleaning operation will be canceled
and the display will return to the time of day.
