Page 3: Anti-Tip Device 3
If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Page 4: Important Safety Instructions
Oven • Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Page 5 • To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over the nearby surface units. • Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

Page 8 HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE Your new range has a radiant glass cooktop. If you are used to cooking with gas burners or electric surface units, you will notice some differences when you use the radiant cooktop. Type of Cooktop...
Page 9: Hot Surface Indicator Light
General Information About Radiant Surface Units The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by outlines on the glass. Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
Page 10: Surface Controls
At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit at the heat level or power level you set. Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than switching to lower settings.
Page 11 SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS Types of Cookware The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance. Stainless Steel: highly recommended Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution).
Page 12 SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS How to Check Pan Performance Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking performance and cleaning of your cooktop. The correct cookware reduces the temperature of the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of spillovers burning onto the cooktop. You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.
Page 13: Home Canning Tips
Canning should be done on the cooktop only. Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit circle are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.
Page 14: Glass Cooktop Cleaning
GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING Glass Cooktop Cleaning Cleaning of glass cooktops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass cooktop follow these basic steps. Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream.

Page 17: Using Your Oven
3. Read over the information and tips that follow. 4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range. Bump Automatic Oven Shut-Off As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut OVEN itself off if it has been left on for more than 12 hours.
Page 18: Oven Shelves
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
Page 19: Pan Placement
Pan Placement For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.
Page 20: Timed Baking
How to Time Bake Do not lock the oven door with the latch during timed baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off automatically) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically...
Page 21 NOTE: • The low temperature zone of this range (between WARM and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
Page 22: Adjust The Oven Thermostat— Do It Yourself
ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT— You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.
Page 23: Use Of Aluminum Foil
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Page 24: Roasting Guide
Questions and Answers Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.
Page 25 Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should? A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in oven.
Page 26: Broiling Guide
• Always use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. • The oven door should be open to the broil stop position. • Make sure you turn the knob all the way to the BROIL position.
Page 27 2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to AUTO SELF CLEAN. Before a Clean Cycle The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven to cool before you can slide the door latch.
Page 28 OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN How to Set the Oven for Cleaning Quick Reminder: 1. Latch the door. 2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to AUTO SELF CLEAN. If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean cycle, you will not be able to slide the latch.
Page 29 How to Set Delay Start of Cleaning Quick Reminder: 1. Latch the door. 2. Turn the Oven Temperature Control knob to AUTO SELF CLEAN. 3. Press the START TIME ON/OFF pad. 4. Press the HOUR and MIN. pads to set the time of day you want cleaning to start.
Page 30: Care And Cleaning
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance. BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.
Page 31: Control Panel
Control Panel and Knobs Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Clean the control panel with mild liquid dish detergent and a soft cloth. Rub the control panel lightly. CAUTION: Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel.
Page 32: Baking
Lift-Off Oven Door The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. Do not lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass to break or can cause damage to the door.
Page 33: Broiler Pan And Grid
If the grid is chrome, do not use an oven cleaner to clean it. How to Remove the Storage Drawer or Kick Panel to Clean Under the Range The area under the range can be reached easily for cleaning by removing the bottom drawer (on some models).
Page 34: Installation Instructions
If the electric service provided does not meet the above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed electrician install an approved outlet. Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used. STEP 1 PREPARE THE OPENING ⁄...
Page 35 When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.

Insert bare wires between the connector block terminals and movable nuts. Tighten screws securely. Attach ground wire to the frame of the range.
Page 38 STEP 9 LEVELING THE RANGE The range must be level. Leveling feet are located at each corner of the base of the range. Remove the storage drawer or kick panel (depending on your model) and using channel locks, rotate the leveling feet in and out as required to level the range.
