RANGE SAFETY  
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.  
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all  
safety messages.  
This is the safety alert symbol.  
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.  
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or  
“WARNING.” These words mean:  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't  
immediately follow instructions.  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't  
follow instructions.  
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you  
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.  
The Anti-Tip Bracket  
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the  
anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical  
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 under-  
sized 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.  
shock, 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, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK  
SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP  
BRACKET.  
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat  
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy  
spillovers that may ignite.  
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in  
Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during  
cooking may subject wiring or components under-  
neath to damage.  
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to  
children in cabinets above a range or on the back-  
guard of a range – children climbing on the range to  
reach items could be seriously injured.  
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.  
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly  
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.  
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the  
Room.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging  
garments should never be worn while using the  
range.  
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 Soak Removable Heating Elements –  
Heating elements should never be immersed in  
water.  
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials  
should not be stored in an oven or near surface  
units.  
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.  
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or  
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or  
steam escape before removing or replacing food.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up  
of pressure may cause container to burst and result  
in injury.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it  
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more  
information, see “General Cleaning” section.  
COOKTOP USE  
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a  
heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.  
Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools,  
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop,  
and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.  
Cooktop Controls  
Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface  
indicator light goes off. If spills or soils are not wiped up while  
warm, surface pitting can occur.  
WARNING  
Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.  
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on  
cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the  
cooktop.  
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers  
on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot  
be removed completely.  
Fire Hazard  
Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or  
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.  
Turn off all controls when done cooking.  
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.  
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.  
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking  
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm)  
outside the area.  
The control knobs can be set anywhere between HI and LO. Push  
in and turn to setting. The surface cooking area locator shows  
which element is turned on. Use the following chart as a guide  
when setting heat levels.

Melt chocolate or butter.  
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small  
expansion channels can be used.  
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some  
models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire  
cooktop area may become hot.  
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry  
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits  
when heated.  
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.  
Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass)  
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface  
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking  
area(s) is turned off.  
Ceramic Glass  
(on some models)  
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It  
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat  
level.  
HOT SURFACE  
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to  
change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass  
cools, it will return to its original color.

Coil Elements and Burner Bowls  
Lift-up Cooktop  
(on some models)  
(on some models)  
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner  
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also  
help catch spills.  
The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath.  
Be careful not to drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the  
finish and the cooktop frame. For more information, see the  
“General Cleaning” section.  
Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 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.  
To Lift:  
1. Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock  
into place.  
Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls,  
make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the off  
position.  
To Remove:  
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then  
lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.  
To Replace:  
1. Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support  
rods back to unlock them.  
2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.  
2. Slowly lower the cooktop into place.  
Home Canning  
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface  
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.  
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.  
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking  
area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in.  
(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.  
3. Lift out the burner bowl.  
To Replace:  
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements  
or surface burners at the same time.  
1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element  
receptacle.  
On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.  
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit  
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil  
element will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for  
ordering instructions.  
For more information, contact your local U.S. Government  
Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact  
Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home  
canning products can also offer assistance.  
2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push  
coil element terminal into the receptacle.  
3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it  
will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the  
receptacle.

Cookware  
ELECTRONIC OVEN  
CONTROL  
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
cooking area, element or surface burner.  
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-  
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy  
thickness.  
3
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper  
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used  
as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.  
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is  
transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has  
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,  
aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the  
properties of aluminum.

Meat Thermometer  
On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat  
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The  
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat  
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.  
Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion  
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the  
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.  
After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat  
¹⁄₂ in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature  
drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.  
Check all meat in two or three places.

Preheating  
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat  
conditioning. “PrE” and the time countdown will appear on the  
display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will  
sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.  
Oven Vent  
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as  
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for  
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven  
temperature to differ.  
1
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning  
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking  
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,  
baking soda and eggs.  
1. Oven Vent (coil element model)

Broil  
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the  
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control  
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the  
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish  
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.  
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is  
designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.  
1. Oven Vent (ceramic glass model)  
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and  
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air  
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set  
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the  
oven vent.  
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The  
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier  
cleaning.  
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on  
the edges to prevent curling.  
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven  
is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than 1 in.  
(2.5 cm) over the element.  
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing  
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very  
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.  
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing  
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated  
oven, making cleaning more difficult.  
Baking and Roasting  
ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System  
Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling Chart. It is not  
necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless  
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler  
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to  
the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.  
(on some models)  
The ACCUBAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat  
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature  
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements  
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when  
cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically  
activated when the oven is in use.  
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the  
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is  
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to  
end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.  
To Bake or Roast:

during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,  
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this  
area.  
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.  
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,  
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not

oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and  
popping sounds.  
General Cleaning  
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and  
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions  
on cleaning products.  
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil  
to a powdery ash.  
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless  
otherwise noted.  
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the  
time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30  
minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours  
30 minutes for average to heavy soil.

(on some models)  
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.  
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should  
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills  
may affect the finish.
