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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ ■ ■ 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. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.

COOKTOP USE POWER ON Lights Cooktop Controls Each control knob has a POWER ON light. The light will glow when its control knob is on. 1 WARNING 1. POWER ON light Ceramic Glass Fire Hazard (on some models) Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire. The cooktop controls can be set anywhere between HI and LO. Push in and turn to setting. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels. SETTING RECOMMENDED USE HI or MAX ■ Start food cooking.
■ 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 across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware. ■ Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls Lift-up Cooktop (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. 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.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics. Cookware 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 wellfitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. 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 they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.
Reminder Tones Only Displays When power is first supplied to the appliance, everything on the displays will light up for 5 seconds. Then, “PF” will appear. Press CANCEL OFF to clear displays. If “PF” appears at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Press CANCEL OFF and reset the clock if needed. Oven Display (on some models) When the oven is in use, this display shows the oven temperature, heat source(s) and start time. During Timed Cooking, this display also shows a timed countdown.
Oven Temperature Control Positioning Racks and Bakeware IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door during cycling may give incorrect readings. The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount.
Bakeware Oven Vent The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
