Important Safety Information

Recognize this symbol as a safety precaution.

!

!

W A R NIN G

Due to the nature of cooking, fires can occur as a result of overcooking or excessive grease. Although a fire is unlikely, if one occurs proceed as follows: !

WARNING

If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

There can be a risk of injury or electrical shock while performing services or repairs. Injury or electrical shock can be serious or even fatal. Consequently, extreme caution should be taken when performing voltage checks on individual components of a product.

The electrical power supply should ALWAYS be disconnected when servicing a product.

Oven Fires

1. Do not open the oven door.

2. Turn all controls to the OFF position.

3. As an added precaution turn off the electricity at the main circuit breaker or fuse box.

4. Allow the food or grease to burn itself out in the oven.

If smoke or fire persist call the local fire department.

To avoid risk of property damage or personal injury, do not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the oven.

This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug in or direct-wire an appliance unless it is properly grounded and in accordance with all local and national codes. See "Installation Instructions" that accompany the product for the appropriate grounding procedures.

To avoid risk of electrical shock, serious personal injury or death: Verify the oven has been properly grounded and always disconnect the electrical supply before servicing this unit.

GROUND PATH SPECIFICATIONS:

Ground Path Resistance: 0.1 ohms maximum

Insulation Resistance: 250k ohms minimum

Safety Practices for Servicer

Safe and satisfactory operation of electrical ranges depends upon its design and proper installation.

!

W A RNIN G

To avoid risk of electrical shock, property damage, personal injury or death; verify wiring is correct, if components were replaced. Verify proper and complete operation of unit after servicing.

This appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the instructions in this manual.

Servicing

Listed below are some general precautions and safety practices which should be followed in order to protect the service technician and consumer during service and after service has been completed.

1. Check range when service is complete—After servicing, make visual checks on electrical connection. Inform consumer of the condition of range before leaving.

2. Adhere to all local regulations and codes when performing service.

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, 15 amp, individual circuit which is properly grounded, polarized and protected by a circuit breaker or fuse.

Extension Cord

Due to possible pinching during installation, extension cords should not be used on products.

Extension cords will adversely affect the performance of spark system.



Receiving Oven

• Authorized servicer must install the range, in accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Adjustments and service should be performed only by authorized servicer.

• Plug range into a 120–volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about grounding of the home electrical system, it is consumers responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet in accordance with the National

Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

• Insure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating it, to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite.

• With prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures could result. Many floor coverings will not be able to withstand this kind of use. Never install range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand high temperatures. Never install range directly over carpeting.

• Do not heat unopened food containers in oven.

Buildup of pressure may cause a container to burst and result in injury.

• Keep range vent ducts unobstructed.

• Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.

If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, use a dry potholder.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or racks.

Aluminum foil can cause a fire and will seriously affect baking results, and damage to porcelain surfaces.

• Do not touch interior surfaces of oven during or immediately after use. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials come in contact with bake or broil burners.

• Other areas of the oven can become hot enough to cause burns, such as vent openings, window, oven door and oven racks.

• To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to wipe up spills on hot cooking area.

• Do not store combustible or flammable materials, such as gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near or in oven.

• Do not clean oven door gasket located on back of the door. Gasket is necessary to seal the oven and can be damaged as a result of rubbing or being moved.

• Do not drape towels or any materials on oven door handles. These items may ignite causing a fire.

Using the Oven

• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door. They could damage the range and cause severe personal injury.

• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn when using oven. Flammable material could ignite if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces which may cause severe burns.

• Never use range for warming or heating a room. This may cause burns, injuries, or a fire.

• Do not use water on grease fires.

• Do not let grease or other flammable materials collect in or around range.

• Do not repair or replace any part of range unless it is recommended in this manual.

• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces may result in a burn from steam.

Do not let a potholder touch the flame. Do not use a towel or a bulky cloth as a potholder.

• Never leave range unattended while cooking.

Boilovers can cause smoking and may ignite.

• Only certain types of glass/ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for oven use.

Unsuitable utensils may break due to sudden temperature change.

• Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

!

CAUTION

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above range. Children may climb on oven to reach these items and become seriously injured.

Baking, Broiling, and Roasting

• Do not use oven area for storage.

• Stand back from range when opening a hot oven door.

Hot air or steam can cause burns to hands, face, and eyes.

• Use only glass cookware appropriate for use in electric ovens.

• Always remove broiler pan from oven when finished broiling. Grease left in pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing grease from the broiler pan.

• Make sure broiler pan is placed correctly to reduce any possibility of grease fires.

• Should a grease fire occur in the broiler pan, turn off oven, and keep oven door closed until fire burns out.



Surface Cooking Units

1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance 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.

2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

3. 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.

4. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

5. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Do not use glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils. They can damage smoothtop and can break due to sudden change in temperature.

6. 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.

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

Ovens

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

2. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

3. Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

4. Placement of Oven Racks—Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack is removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

In Case of Fire

Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive grease. Though a fire is unlikely, proceed as follows:

Surface Element Fire

1. Smother fire with a nonflammable lid/baking soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not water, salt or flour.

2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface controls to “OFF”.

6 16023416

Oven Fires

1. If smoke is visible, do not open oven door.

2. Turn oven control to “OFF”.

3. Turn off power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.

4. Turn on vent to remove smoke.

5. Allow food/grease to burn out in oven.

6. If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.

7. If there is any damage to components, call an authorized servicer before using range.

Precautions

• Do not cook food directly on range top surface, always use cookware.

• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical mixtures may interact with hazardous results.

• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

• Do not slide rough objects across range top surface.

• Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.

• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage to cooking surface and pan.

• Do not use range top surface as a cutting board.

Product Safety Devices

Safety devices and features have been engineered into the product to protect consumer and servicer. Safety devices must never be removed, bypassed, or altered in such a manner as to defeat the purpose for which they were intended.

Grounded Oven Frame Ground prong on power cord is connected to the frame, usually a green lead fastened by a screw. In addition, any part or component capable of conducting an electric current is grounded by its mounting.

If any ground wire, screw, strap, nut, etc. is removed for service, or any reason, it must be reconnected to its original position with original fastener before the appliance is put into operation again.

Failure to do so can create a possible shock hazard.

WARNING


NOTES:

1

“Action Taken” applies as long as the condition exists. If the condition goes away, the control recovers.

2

If there is a cook function or timer active, the function continues. The user cannot edit the function, and [Cancel] will cancel the cook mode.

3

Flash rate: 0.2 seconds on, 0.1 second off. Pressing any key will clear the display until the fault clears and is re-triggered.

4

“Action Taken” applies until there is a POR (Power On Reset [“hard reset”]).

5

If the control believes the door is locked, it will attempt to unlock it when the function cancels and the cavity temperature cools.

6

Special conditions for latch faults (9dxx):

•

A known good unlock position is defined as when the unlock switch reads closed and lock switch reads open.

•

A known good lock position is defined as when the unlock switch reads open and lock switch reads closed.

•

Once a latch fault occurs, latch movement is disabled until there is a POR. An error tone will sound if a function requiring a faulted latch is attempted.

•

If at POR, the latch is not at a known good unlock position:

•

If the latch is at a good lock position, it will attempt to unlock when the RTD (Resistance Temperature Device) temperature is below 400°F.

•

If the latch is not at a good lock position, the control will fault.

•

If a latch fault occurs while the RTD is above the lock temperature, the latch will not try to move, but the fault is still logged to EEPROM after the first stage of detection.

•

The Display column for latch faults applies 1) If the latch was moving when the fault occurred; 2) If the latch is already in a known locked state when the fault occurs.

•

LOCK flashes after a fault is detected and until the unlocked position is achieved. The unlock position may be identified by a successful unlock switch closure, or as the result of timing when the unlock switch is not functioning properly.

•

If the last known good position was unlock (e.g. baking, or idle) and a latch fault occurs, the motor is never moved. The fault is logged to EEPROM and is not seen by the user.

•

Latch fault detection is in two stages. The first stage is to allow the control to recover without moving the latch. After this:

• If the latch was previously at a known good unlock position, the latch will not move and the control will fault.

•

If the control was previously in a known good lock position:

•

If the RTD is below 400°F, the latch will attempt to recover to it’s proper position (up to three revolutions). If it cannot, the control will fault and the latch will move to a calculated unlock position.

•

If the RTD is at or above 400°F, the control will fault. When the RTD cools to below 400°F, the control will attempt to recover to a good unlock position (up to three revolution). If it cannot, the control will fault and the latch will move to a calculated unlock position.

•

Note: If the unlock position cannot be found, this may result in a second fault, the first fault occurring when the latch request was locked, and the second when the latch request is unlocked.

•

If the latch is moving when the fault occurs, the control will bypass the first stage of detection and immediately try to find it’s proper position. If it cannot, the control will fault and the latch will move to a calculated unlock position.

•

Affected DLBs (Double Line Breaks) and loads are disabled during detection.

•

If the control is in a known good unlock position and the lock switch becomes faulted:

• The control will not fault.

•

If a function requiring latch movement is attempted while the lock switch is faulted, the control will sound an error tone and the function will be disabled.

•

If the control is in a known good lock position and the unlock switch becomes faulted:

•

The control will not fault.

•

After the function is canceled and unlock is attempted, the control will attempt to unlock the latch according to the procedures in these notes.

Surface Cooking


Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.

Setting the Controls

1. Place pan on surface element.

2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired heat setting.

• The control panel is marked to identify which element the knob controls. For example, the graphic at right indicates left front element.

3. There is an element “ON” indicator light on the control panel. When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface elements are turned off.

4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.

Suggested Heat Settings

The size, type of cookware and cooking operation will affect the heat setting. For information on cookware and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.

Low (2): Use to keep foods warm and melt chocolate and butter.

High (10): Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

Med. Low (3-4):

Use to continue cooking covered foods or steam foods.

Medium (5-7): Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts of liquids and for most frying operations.

Med. High (8-9): Use to brown meat, heat oil for deep fat frying or sauteing. Maintain fast boil for large amounts of liquids.

BEFORE COOKING

• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a pan in place.

• NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware.

DURING COOKING

• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a high heat setting for extended cooking.

• NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the appliance.

• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.

CAUTION

AFTER COOKING

• Make sure surface unit is turned off.

• Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.

OTHER TIPS

• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

• NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.

• NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to contact heating elements.

Surface Cooking

Coil Element Surface

Notes:

• Clean cooktop after each use.

• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled as these spills may discolor or etch the porcelain.

To protect drip bowl finish:

• To lessen discoloration and crazing, avoid using high heat for long periods.

• Do not use oversized cookware. Pans should not extend more than 1-2 inches beyond the element.

• When home canning or cooking with big pots, use the Canning Element (Model CE1). Contact your

Maytag dealer for details or call 1-877-232-6771 USA or 1-800-688-8408 Canada to order.

• Clean frequently. (See page 17.)

Lift–up Porcelain Cooktop

To lift: When cool, grasp the cooktop front edge. Gently lift up until the two support rods snap into place.

To lower: Hold the cooktop front edge and carefully push back on each support rod to release. Then lower the top into place.

Coil Elements

• When an element is on, it will cycle on and off to maintain the heat setting.

• Coil elements are self-cleaning. Do not immerse in water.

To remove:

When cool, raise element. Carefully pull out and away from receptacle.

To replace:

Insert element terminals into receptacle. Guide the element into place. Press down on the outer edge of element until it sits level on drip bowl.

TERMINALS

Drip Bowls

The drip bowls under each surface element catch boilovers and must always be used. Absence of drip bowls during cooking may damage wiring.

To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire, never line drip bowls with aluminum foil.

Drip bowls will discolor (blue/gold stains) or craze over time if overheated. This discoloration or crazing is permanent. This will not affect cooking performance.

Surface Cooking

Smoothtop Surface

Smoothtop Surface Notes:

• For Canadian models, the smoothtop does NOT operate during a clean cycle.

• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

• Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time

after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the Hot

Surface indicator light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface.

• Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than 1 /

2

to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.

For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware

Recommendations on page 7 and “Cooking Made Simple” booklet included with your range.

Notes:

• Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30 minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.

• Do not heat cold food on the Warming Center.

• Warming temperatures of the food will vary depending on type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper food temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures between 140

°-170° F.

Warming Center Notes:

• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.

• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the

Warming Center as cookware and plates will be hot.

• All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.

• When warming pastries and breads the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.

• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Surface Cooking

Tips to Protect the


Cleaning

(see page 20 for more information)

• Before first use, clean the cooktop.

• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel.

• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

• Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.

• Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

To Prevent Marks & Scratches

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

• Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See

Cleaning, page 20.)

• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.

• To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using.

• Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.

To Prevent Stains

• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.

To Prevent Other Damage

• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning, page 20.)

• Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and pan.

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

• Never cook food directly on the surface.

• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.

• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized canners and griddles.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized Maytag Servicer.

Surface Cooking

Cookware Recommendations

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly.

Flat Pan Tests

See if your pans are flat.

The Ruler Test:

1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.

2. Hold it up to the light.

3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.

The Bubble Test:

1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn control to High.

2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.

Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.

Select Avoid

Flat, smooth-bottom Pans with grooved or warped bottoms.

pans.

Pans with uneven bottoms do not cook efficiently and sometimes may not boil liquid.

Heavy-gauge pans.

Very thin-gauge metal or glass pans.

Pans that are the

same size as the

element.

Pans smaller or larger than the element by 1 inch.

Secure handles.

Cookware with loose or broken handles.

Heavy handles that tilt the pan.

Tight-fitting lids.

Flat bottom woks.

Loose-fitting lids.

Woks with a ring-stand bottom.

Canning and Oversize

Cookware

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and

must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than

1 inch larger than the element.

When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.

When canning, use the High heat setting only until the

water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.

Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.

Tips to Protect the


Cleaning

(see page 21 for more information)

• Before first use, clean the cooktop.

• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel.

• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

• Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.

• Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

To Prevent Marks & Scratches

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

• Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See

Cleaning, page 21.)

• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.

• To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using.

• Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.

To Prevent Stains

• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.

To Prevent Other Damage

• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning, page 21.)

• Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and pan.

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

• Never cook food directly on the surface.

• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.

• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized canners and griddles.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized Maytag Servicer.

Surface Cooking

Cookware Recommendations

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly.

Flat Pan Tests

See if your pans are flat.

The Ruler Test:

1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.

2. Hold it up to the light.

3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.

The Bubble Test:

1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn control to High.

2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.

Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.


Select

Pans that are the

same size as the

element.

Secure handles.

Avoid

Flat, smooth-bottom Pans with grooved or warped bottoms.

pans.

Pans with uneven bottoms do not cook efficiently and sometimes may not boil liquid.

Heavy-gauge pans.

Very thin-gauge metal or glass pans.

Pans smaller or larger than the element by 1 inch.

Tight-fitting lids.

Flat bottom woks.

Cookware with loose or broken handles.

Heavy handles that tilt the pan.

Loose-fitting lids.

Woks with a ring-stand bottom.

Canning and Oversize

Cookware

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and

must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than

1 inch larger than the element.

When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.

When canning, use the High heat setting only until the

water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.

Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.

CAUTION

• It is normal for parts of the ovens to become hot during a self-clean cycle.

• To prevent damage to oven doors, do not attempt to open the doors when LOCK is displayed.

• Avoid touching doors, windows or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the ovens. They will damage the finish or parts.

• Do not leave baking/pizza stone in the oven during self-clean.

Notes:

• Oven temperature must be below 400

° F to program a clean cycle.

• Only one oven can be cleaned at a time.

• Both oven doors lock when either oven is being cleaned.

2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.

3. Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside of gasket, and around the opening in the door gasket) with a nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self-cleaning process does not clean these areas. They should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window.)

4. To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

“LITE” ( Light Soil, 2 hours)

Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs the self-cleaning time.

5. After four seconds, the oven will start cleaning.

• If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and ‘door’ will display. If the door is not closed within 30 seconds, the self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display will return to the time of day.

During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, both oven doors are locked.

To prevent damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when LOCK is displayed.

Smoke and Smells

You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will turn off. The doors can then be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to move.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went

through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean

cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect performance.
