Surface Cooking Units:  
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.  
Utensils 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.  
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  
utensils to burner will also improve efficiency.  
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting – Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may  
ignite.  
For Coil Surface Elements Cook-top models:  
o 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.  
o 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.  
o Do not soak removable heating elements – Heating elements should never be immersed in water.  
o Clean the cook top with caution – If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cook top, be careful to avoid  
steam burns.  
o To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units  
are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.  
For Ceramic Glass Cook-top models:  
o 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.  
o Never use the glass cook-top surface as a cutting area.  
o Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cook-top surface when it is in use. They  
may become hot and could cause burns.  
o Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cook-top, even when it is not being used.  
o 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.  
o Do not to leave a hot lid on the cook-top – As the cook-top cools, air can become trapped between the lid  
and the cook-top and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.  
o Do not cook foods directly on the cook-top surface without a pan.  
o Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cook-top, they may cause it to crack.  
Oven:  
Use care when opening oven 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.  
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.  
Placement of oven racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved  
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.  
 
COOK-TOP USE  
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS  
How to Operate the Surface Elements (Coil Surface Elements Cook-top Models)  
Place cooking utensil on the surface element.  
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most cooking operations on  
a higher setting and turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a  
particular setting. Use the setting as a guide and adjust them as needed.  
When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the pan.  
Note: The surface element on indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this  
indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy way to be sure all surface elements are turned off.  
How to Operate Radiant Surface Elements (Ceramic Glass Cook-top Models)  
Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.  
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most cooking operations on  
a higher setting and turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a  
particular setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust them as needed. Each surface element provides a constant  
amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the  
cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.  
When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the pan.  
Note: The surface element on indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this  
indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy way to be sure all surface elements are turned off. The hot surface  
indicator light will continue to glow after the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will glow until the heating  
surface area has cooled sufficiently.  
CAUTION 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 sufficiently.  
SUGGESTED SURFACE CONTROL SETTING (All Models)  
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels. Settings are based on cooking in medium-weight metal pans  
with lids. They may vary when using other types of pans.  
SETTING  
HIGH (HI – 9)  
RECOMMENDED USE  
Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling  
Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry  
MEDIUM HIGH (7 – 8)  
MEDIUM (5 – 6)  
Maintain a slow boil, cook soups, thicken sauces and gravies, steam vegetables  
Keep foods cooking, poach, stew  
MEDIUM LOW (2 – 4)  
LOW (LO – 1)  
Keep food warm, melt, simmer  
Note: The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed  
for best cooking results.

COIL ELEMENTS AND BURNER BOWLS (Coil Surface Elements Cook-top Models)  
Surface units should be level for optimal cooking results. Drip bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the  
cookware. They also help catch spills.  
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface unit. Check for flatness by  
rotating a ruler across the bottom. There should be no gaps between the utensil and the ruler.  
Utensil sizes should match with surface unit size. Pans should cover the entire element to absorb the maximum  
heat. Avoid using an undersized utensil that would expose a portion of the surface unit, resulting in serious  
burns or clothing ignition.  
Pans should not extend more than one inch over the coil element. The bottom surface of the pan in this  
situation could trap enough heat to cause discoloring of the burner bowl, damage to the surface units and or  
crazing of the porcelain enamel range surface.  
CERAMIC GLASS (Ceramic Glass Cook-top 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.  
Wiping off the cook-top before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even  
heating. For more information, see “Care and Cleaning” section.  
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than one  
inch outside the area.  
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped,  
ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.  
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the  
cookware.

OVEN USE  
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROL  
Oven Vent Location (Coil Surface Elements Cook-top Models)  
The oven vent is located under the right rear surface unit. When the oven is on, warm air flows through the right  
rear element. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.  
DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.  
Arranging Oven Racks  
To avoid possible burns, place racks in the desire position before turning the oven on.  
Racks have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely  
out, and will not tilt.  
Do not move racks with bake ware on them.  
To remove, pull the rack out until the stop position, raise the front edge and slide out.  
To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide it back into place.

HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN  
NOTE The oven indicator light will glow when there is electric power to the bake element. When the oven  
temperature setting is reached, the indicator light will go off. It lights up again when the power comes back on the bake  
element.  
The oven indicator light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes OFF and ON with the oven  
element(s) during cooking.  
Baking  
Before baking, positions racks and bake ware according to “Arranging oven racks and Air circulation in the oven”  
sections.  
1. Preheat the oven before start baking. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary  
for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Preheat the oven for 10 minutes.

GENERAL CARE AND CLEANING  
WARNING Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the oven and cook-top are cool. Always follow label  
instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.  
SURFACES  
HOW TO CLEAN  
Porcelain Enamel Surfaces  
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant.  
However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be  
permitted to remain on the finish.  
If acids spill on the cook-top while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up  
right away. When the surface has cooled, wash wish soap and water. Rinse well.  
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range. Clean these with soap and water or vinegar  
and water solution.  
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on  
any painted surfaces.  
Painted Surfaces  
Control Panel and Knobs  
The Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.  
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight  
off the stem. Wash the knob in soap and water but do not soak.  
Be sure all the controls are turned OFF and the surface units are cool before attempting to remove  
them.  
Coil Elements  
(Coil Surface Elements Models)  
To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn  
off any soil.  
To remove:  
Push in the edge of surface unit toward the receptacle. Then lift it just enough to clear the  
burner bowl. Do not lift the surface unit more than 25 mm (1 in.)  
Pull the surface unit straight away from the receptacle.  
Lift out the burner bowl.  
To replace:  
Line up openings in the burner bowl with the surface unit receptacle.  
Holding the surface unit as level as possible, carefully push surface unit terminal into the  
receptacle.  
When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the  
surface unit opposite the receptacle.  
Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind. Do not clean the surface unit in a  
dishwasher. Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.  
Drip Bowls  
(Coil Surface Elements Models)  
Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip bowls.  
For best results, clean the drip bowls by hand. Place them in a covered container with ¼  
cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse with  
clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth.  
Clean the area under the drip bowls often. Built-up soil, specially grease, may catch fire.  
Clean only porcelain enamel drip bowls in a dishwasher, not chrome.  
Do not cover the drip bowls with foil. Using foil so close to the receptacle could cause  
shock, fire or damage to the range.

Lift Up Cook-top  
(Coil Surface Elements Models)  
The cook-top can be lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire cook-top may be lifted up and  
supported in the up position.  
The surface units do not need to be removed; however, you may remove one to make  
raising the cook-top easier. There are two side supports that lock into position when the  
cook-top is lifted up.  
After cleaning under the cook-top wit hot, mild soapy water and clean cloth, lower the  
cook-top. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.  
To lower the cook-top, push the rods back and gently lower the cook-top until it rests in  
place.  
Oven Vent  
(Coil Surface Elements Models)  
Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material.  
Glass Cook-top  
(Ceramic Glass Cook-top  
Models)  
IMPORTANT: Prior to using your cook-top for the first time, apply some of the cook-top cleaning  
cream supplied with your new range. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad such a no scratch scrub  
sponge. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cook-top cleaning  
cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasion.  
Also clean the glass surface after each use. This helps protect the top and makes clean up easier.  
To clean the cook-top seal around the edge of the glass, let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes,  
then wipe clean. Use a mild detergent if needed. Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal  
because it will cut or damage it.  
Sliding aluminum or cooper clad bottom pans on the cook-top can cause metal markings on the  
cook-top surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cook-top has cooled using  
the cook-top cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future  
use.  
For light to moderate soil:  
Apply a few drops of the cook-top cleaning cream (cleaner must be recommended for Ceramic  
Glass cook-top) directly to the cook-top. Use a paper towel or a no scratch scrub sponge to  
clean the entire cook-top surface. Make sure the cook-top is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no  
residue.  
For heavy, burned on soil:  
Apply a few drops of the cook-top cleaning cream (cleaner must be recommended for Ceramic  
Glass cook-top) directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a no scratch scrub sponge,  
applying pressure as needed. Once the sponge has been used on the cook-top, do not use the  
sponge for any other purpose.  
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30-  
degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cook-top cleaner and buff surface  
clean.  
Store razor blades out of the reach of children.  
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:  
These types of soils need be remove immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cook-top  
surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cook-top 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 (as illustrated). Allow the cook-top  
to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burner on soils.  
The oven door is removable for cleaning.  
Lift-Off Oven Door  
To remove:  
Open the door to the fully opened position.  
Pull up the lock located on both hinge supports and engage it in the hook of the hinge levers.  
You may have to apply a little downward pressure on the door to pull the lock fully over the  
hooks.  
Grasp the door by the sides; pull the bottom of the door up and toward you to disengage the  
hinge supports. Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the  
door toward the range to completely disengage the hinge levers.  
To replace:  
Proceed in reverse to reinstall the door. Make sure the hinge supports are fully engaged before  
unlocking the hinge levers.

To clean the inside of the door:  
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning  
with a mild abrasive cleaner.  
Soap-filled, steel wool pads may also be used.  
To clean the outside of the door:  
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well.  
Use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.  
Do not let water drip into the vent openings.  
Oven Cavity  
Do not use oven cleaners.  
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning  
with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled, steel wool pads may also be used.  
Be sure to wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.  
To clean the oven bottom, gently lift the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven  
bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 to 5 inches from the resting  
position. Clean with warm soapy water.  
Oven Heating Elements  
Oven Racks  
Do not clean the oven heating elements. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.  
Clean the racks with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.  
To make the racks slide more easily apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a  
paper towel and wipe the edges of the racks with it.  
Broiler Pan  
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Carefully pour out the grease from the  
pan into a proper container.  
Wash and rinse the broiler pan in hot water with soap-filled or plastic scouring pad. If food has  
burned on, sprinkle with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth.
