4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the

backguard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

CAUTION

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

CAUTION

• Do not touch surface zones, areas near these zones, heating elements or interior

surfaces of the oven. ALL surface zones and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface zones may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn

while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—

Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it

closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use only dry potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers -

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

• To avoid a possible fire hazard, never use your appliance for warming or heating a room.

• Do not cook foods directly on the oven

bottom. To avoid damaging the oven interior always use proper cookware and always use the oven racks.

IMPORTANT

• Do not attempt to operate the range during

a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

• Be sure to always have an appropriate foamtype fire extinguisher available, visible and easily accessible located near the appliance.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

Important instructions for using your cooktop

• Know which control operates each surface

heating zone. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the zone off before removing the pan.

• Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. 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 element will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and

not extend over adjacent surface elements—

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

• Never leave surface elements unattended at

high heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not immerse or soak removable heating

elements—Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

For Ceramic-glass cooktop models

• Do not cook on broken cook top—If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean cook top with caution—If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Important instructions for using your oven

• Use care when opening oven door or lower

oven drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramicglass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of oven racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.

The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

Important instructions for cleaning your range

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts

free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended

directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the

hood or filter. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

Self cleaning ovens

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the

parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• 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.

• 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.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another wellventilated room.

Important safety notice

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act requires the Governor of

California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

8 Surface Cooking

Cookware

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware will influence settings needed for the best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

Cookware should always:

• Have flat bottoms.

• Have tight fitting lids.

• Be well-balanced.

• Be made of material that conducts heat well.

• Be easy to clean.

• Match to the size of the element.

Cookware should not:

• have a curved or warped bottom.

• hang over the surface element by more than one-half inch.

• be smaller than the element by more than one-half inch.

• have a heavy handle that tilts the pan.

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass

(see Aluminum above).

• Stainless steel - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

• Cast iron - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

• Glass- Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

For more information about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in the Care

& Cleaning section.

Surface Cooking

How the cooktop works

About the ceramic glass cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements mounted below the surface of the glass. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware.

The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and the settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

About the radiant surface elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat even during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

CAUTION

Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will not glow red when it is hot.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the keep warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The

glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

NOTES

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the

HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at higher settings is normal. Cycling may also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is warped

(refer to Using Proper Cookware on page 7).

• Read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in both the Care and

Cleaning and Before You Call sections of this Use and Care Manual .

10 Surface Cooking

Home Canning

IMPORTANT

DO NOT straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time. This might cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning using your appliance:

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings. It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.

• When using two canners at the same time, stagger the canners on the left and right sides of the cooktop. This will help distribute the heat more evenly.

Be sure to review the latest online information available for home canning. Some suggestions would be the U.S. Department of Agriculture

Food Safety and Inspection Service or the

National Center for Home Food Preservation

(NCHFP).

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel. When the upper oven is operational, warm air will pass through this vent naturally. The venting is necessary for proper air circulation and provides good baking results in the upper oven.

Do not block this vent.

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the

ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

Oven racks

CAUTION

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible.

Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.

Types of oven racks

Your appliance may be equipped with any one or more of the following oven rack types:

Air circulation in the oven

For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity.

Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even heat to reach the food.

Luxury Glide™ oven racks

IMPORTANT

Remove ALL oven racks before starting a selfclean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the

Luxury-Glide™ oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.

Clean oven racks according to the instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section.

The fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

Removing and replacing the

Luxury-Glide™ oven racks

To remove - Using one hand, reach through handle opening and lift up on the release lever located across the lower front of the rack as shown in

Figure 1.

While holding up the release lever, pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached (see Figure 2). Using both hands, grasp the upper and lower portions of the glide rack. Lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven (see Figure 3). Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack .

The rack portions move independently and are difficult to handle unless held together.

To replace - grasp both upper and lower portions of glide rack, lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position.

Some force may be necessary to make sure the oven rack has snapped completely into place.

How conv roast works

Convection (conv) roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.

Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.

There is no need to reduce the oven temperature when using conv roast.

Conv roast may be set with the following options:

• Cook time

• Cook time with end time

The following oven temperature settings apply for conv roast:

• Factory default temperature: 350°F/176°C

• Min. conv roast setting: 170°F / 76°C

• Max. conv roast setting: 550°F / 288°C

Benefits of conv roast:

• Superior multiple oven rack performance.

• Some foods will cook faster, saving time and energy.

Fig. 2

To stop conv roast at anytime press CANCEL.


• Preheating for conv roast will not be necessary for most meats and poultry.

• Place food items on rack positions 1, 2, or 3, keeping food in center of the oven cavity (see

Figure 1).

• Since conv roast cooks faster, reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Place food items using the recommended rack positions for the type of food being prepared.

• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the conv roast recommendations for additional information. See Figure 2 on the next page.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.


Conv roast (cont’d)

When preparing meats for conv roast, you should use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help prevent grease splatters.

1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom oven rack position.

2. Place the insert on the broiler pan.

3. Be sure the insert is securely seated on top of the broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with aluminum foil.

4. Place meat (fat side up) on insert (Figure 1).

Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into the oven.

Adhere to the following precautions before starting fresh clean (self-clean cycle):

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop, including food, cookware, utensils, plastic and

any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures generated during the self-clean cycle.

• Remove all oven racks and accessories from the oven interior to avoid possible damage. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

The Luxury Glide™ oven rack must be removed before starting self-clean to avoid damaging the glide ability of the rack. “Remove racks” will flash in the display for several seconds as reminder to remove the racks before starting a self-clean cycle (Figure 1).

clean areas shown in white


Clean any soil from the oven exterior. Clean using soap and water before starting a self-clean cycle. If soils are not removed, they may burn on due to the high temperatures during self-clean.

do not clean

Fig. 1

• Be sure the oven vent area is clear.

• Remove all items from the storage drawer.

• Be sure the oven light shield is in place. Turn off the oven light.

• Remove any excess spills or loose debris.

Spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large food spillovers can cause heavy smoke or a fire during self-clean. Spills that have a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) may leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 2).

Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so may damage the gasket.

The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the door gasket.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners or protective coatings of any kind inside oven.

Residue from oven cleaners may damage the porcelain during the next self-clean cycle.

Fig. 2

WARNING

• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Keep children away from oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

CAUTION

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

• DO NOT line the oven walls, oven racks, oven bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will stop heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to a hot oven surface during self-clean.

Fresh Clean 45

Setting fresh clean

A self-cleaning oven automatically cleans itself using much higher temperatures than those used for cooking. The self-clean feature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash that you can later easily wipe away with a damp cloth.

Fresh clean combines self-clean with an added air freshening feature. The air cleaner will eliminate baked on food odors during self-clean but may not eliminate all odors. The air cleaner is not active for other oven functions.

IMPORTANT

The first fresh clean cycle will not be odor-free.

These odors are normal and are a result of the manufacturing process. It is recommended to ventilate the area. Open any windows and turn on an exhaust fan or overhead range hood (if available) during the fresh clean cycle.

Once active, the door lock motor will begin locking the oven door. "door Loc" (Figure 4) will appear in the display. DO NOT try to open the oven door when the "door Loc" message is on (allow about

15 seconds for the oven door to completely lock).

DO NOT force the oven door open. This could damage the door locking system. Once the oven door is locked the "door Loc" message will turn off and "CLn" (Figure 5) will remain in the display for the entire clean cycle.

Fig. 4 Fig. 5

To stop fresh clean at any time, press CANCEL.

When the fresh clean cycle has finished:

1. The time of day and "Hot" will show in the display (Figure 6).

2. Once the oven has cooled (about 1 hour) and

"Hot" is no longer displayed, the "door OPn" message will appear (Figure 7). When this message turns OFF the door has finished unlocking.

The fresh clean feature provides 3 different clean time settings for self-cleaning. Set clean for 2 hours for light, 3 hours for normal or 4 hours for heavier soils.

To start fresh clean:

Example

Step

1. The oven should be empty and all

oven racks removed. Remove all items from the cooktop. Be sure the oven door is completely closed.

2. Press fresh clean once for a 3hour clean time (Figure 1); twice for a 4-hour clean time (Figure 2) or 3 times for a 2-hour clean time

(Figure 3).

3. Press START.

Press

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Fig. 6

3. When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash from the oven interior using a damp cloth or paper towel.

NOTES

Fig. 7

• Self-clean will not operate if ANY surface elements are active.

• A self-clean cycle will not start if the control

lock feature is active.

• When the self-clean feature is active, you may check the amount of clean time remaining by pressing the self-clean key once.

• If a self-clean cycle was started but did not finish due to a power failure, your oven may not have completely cleaned.

Fresh clean

Setting fresh clean (cont’d)

To cancel fresh-clean:

1. Press the cancel key.

2. If the self-clean cycle has heated the oven to a high temperature, "Hot" (Figure 1) will show in the display. Allow enough time for the oven to cool and for the "door OPn" message to display (Figure 2). When this message turns

OFF the oven door may be opened.

Setting delayed fresh clean

You may wish to set your appliance to perform a self-clean cycle later (up to 12 hours later). The end

time key will determine when the cleaning will stop.

You will need to set the end time far enough to allow for the type of clean cycle you choose, whether for 2, 3, or 4 hours. Remember to add

30 to 40 additional minutes of cooling time before using the oven for cooking.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Starting fresh clean after cancelling:

If a self-clean cycle was cancelled using the

cancel key before the oven was finished cleaning, you may wish to set for another self-clean cycle.

If self-clean was cancelled shortly after being started, and the oven interior did not reach high self-clean temperatures, the next clean cycle may be set as soon as the oven door unlocks from the cancelled clean cycle.

If the oven became hot enough from the cancelled self-clean cycle, you may be required to wait up to 4 hours before the control will allow another selfclean cycle to start.

Restarting a fresh clean cycle after a power outage:

If the self-clean cycle was interrupted by a power failure, your oven may not be thoroughly cleaned.

Another self-clean cycle may be needed. Once power is restored, the oven has cooled and the oven door has unlocked, set to clean for another cycle.

Setting repeated fresh clean cycles

If attempting to set repeating self-clean cycles, the control may display the messages "CLEAn"” then

"dELAy" followed by the length of time before the next self-clean may be set.

For example, if the message displayed reads

"4:00", and the time is 12:00 o’clock, the control will not allow self-clean to be set again until after 4:00 o’clock.

Setting for a heavy (4 hour) fresh clean cycle to end at 8:00 o’clock:

Example

Step

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day. Remove all

oven racks. Remove all items from the cooktop. Be sure the oven door is completely closed.

2. Press end time.

3. Enter 8 0 0 using the numeric keypad.

4. Press START.

5. Press fresh clean.

6. Press fresh clean again.

7. Press START.

Press CANCEL at any time to stop fresh clean.

CAUTION

Cleaning Recommendations

Type Cleaning Recommendation

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto soil. Leave on soil for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners these surfaces; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then push knob into place.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off, activate control

lock (some models) and if needed remove knobs from panel (some models). Do not use abrasive cleaners on controls or trim; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping control panel; especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.

Clean stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth.

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft clean cloth. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 mins. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a

• Oven interior

• Oven racks

• Oven door

• Ceramic cooktop sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on surfaces; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting

self-clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For important preparation information be sure to read all the instructions in the self-cleaning section.

Do not clean oven racks in oven during the self-clean cycle. Remove and clean using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Thoroughly rinse and dry.

Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow

water or glass cleaner to enter the door vents. To avoid scratches, do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-cleaning models the oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

Refer to "Cooktop cleaning" and "Cooktop maintenance" in the Care

and Cleaning section.

Cooktop maintenance Cooktop cleaning

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the cooktop cleaner supplied with your new appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or noscratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed

immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using.

• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.

• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.

• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

CAUTION

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of the ceramic glass cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive, no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of the ceramic glass cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive, no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.


49

Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately.

Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately.

After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface. Allow the cooktop to cool. Use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Aluminum foil and oven liners

Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks.

CAUTION

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

IMPORTANT

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.

During self-clean the oven temperature can become hot enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum foil if left in the oven. This could result in permanent damage to the oven interior and porcelain finish.

50 Care and Cleaning

Removing and replacing the oven door

CAUTION

To prevent possible burns, do not attempt to remove the oven door until the oven has completely cooled.

IMPORTANT

The oven door is heavy. Be careful when

removing and lifting the door. Do not lift the oven door by the handle.

To remove the oven door:

1. Open oven door completely (Figure 1).

2. Pull the hinge locks on both left and right hinges down from the oven frame completely towards the oven door (Figure 2). A tool such as a small flat-blade screwdriver may be required.

3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do not use the oven door handle).

4. Close the door to the broil stop position. The oven door will stop into this position just before fully closing.

5. With the oven door in the broil stop position

(Figure 3), lift and carefully pull the oven door away from the oven frame. To avoid finish damage, be careful not to allow the oven door hinges to contact the oven front frame.

To replace oven door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do not use the oven door handle).

2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal position (See “Removing the oven

door” section), carefully line up and insert both door hinge arms between the pins located on each side of the oven door frame (Figure 1).

3. With both door hinge arms in place, open the oven door (Figure 2).

4. Push the door hinge locks up towards and into the oven frame for both left and right oven door hinges to the locked position (Figure 3).

5. Close the oven door.

Care and Cleaning 51

Special door care instructions Changing the oven light

IMPORTANT

Most oven doors contain glass that can

break. Read the following recommendations:

• Do not close the oven door until all the interior oven racks are fully inserted and retracted to the back of the oven.

• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object. The oven door glass may break or even break at a later time unexpectedly.

• Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the oven door glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.

• You may use a glass cleaner on the outside of the oven door glass. Do not spray or allow water or the cleaner to enter or drip down into the oven door vents. Spray cleaner on cloth first and then wipe the oven door clean.

• Do not use strong oven cleaners, powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door or glass.

• Never clean the oven door gasket.

CAUTION

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are

COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather glove for protection against possible broken glass or burns.

The oven lights are located at the rear of the oven cavity and are covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder (Figure 1). The glass shield protects the light bulb and must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

glass shield wire holder

Fig. 1

To replace interior oven light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield that covers the light bulb.

3. Replace light with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder back into place.

5. Turn power on at main source (or plug the appliance in).

6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting clock in this Use & Care Guide.

52 Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

Problem

Appliance is not level

Cannot move appliance easily.

Appliance must be accessible for service

Surface element too hot or not hot enough

Surface element does not heat

Entire appliance does not operate

Oven does not operate

Oven light does not work

Before you call

Solution

• Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.

• If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven.

Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the oven rack is level.

• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufficient room for appliance clearance.

• Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

• Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted over carpet.

• Incorrect control setting. Be sure the correct control is

ON for the element that you are attempting to use.

• Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy & mediumweight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

• The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven. See “Setting clock ” in the Setting Oven Controls section.

• Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.

• Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized service agent.

• Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure.

Call your local electric company for service.

• Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature. See Setting Oven Controls in this Use & Care Guide or read the instructions “Entire

appliance does not operate” in this checklist.

• Replace or tighten bulb. See “Changing upper or

lower oven lights” sections in this Use & Care Guide.

Solutions to Common Problems 53

Problem

Oven smokes excessively during broiling

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent

Oven control panel beeps & displays any F code error (for example F10)

Oven control panel beeps & cooktop control displays any F code error (for example F10)

Before you call

Solution

• Control not set properly. Follow broiling instructions under Setting Oven Controls.

• Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.

• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for searing.

• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.

• Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models).

• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

• Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see “About broiling” in the Setting Oven

Controls section.

• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition.

Press CANCEL to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the F code error repeats, remove power supply to appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower the appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the bake or broil feature again.

If the fault recurs, record fault and call for service.

• Cooktop control has detected a fault or error condition.

If the F code error persists, remove power supply to appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower the appliance and set clock for time of day. Try the cooktop setting again. If the fault recurs, record F code fault and call for service.

Solutions to Common Problems

Problem

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface

Metal marks on the cooktop

Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface

Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen

Poor baking results

Before you Call

Solution

• Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.

• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramicglass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop

Cleaning and Maintenance in the Care and Cleaning section of this Use & Care Guide.

• Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.

• Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface.

Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the

Care and Cleaning section.

• Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See "Cooktop Cleaning and

Maintenance" in the Care and Cleaning section.

• Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.

• Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see “Adjusting Oven

Temperature” in the Setting Oven Controls section of this Use & Care Guide.
