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.

■ 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. ■ 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.
When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn surface cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all elements off at the same time. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels. SETTING RECOMMENDED USE DUAL and TRIPLE-SIZE ELEMENTS ■ Large diameter cookware. ■ Large quantities of food. ■ Home canning.

Start The START pad begins any oven function except the Timer, Control Lock and Sabbath Mode. If not pressed within 5 seconds after pressing a pad, “START?” will appear on the oven display as a reminder. If not pressed within 5 minutes after pressing a pad, the oven display will return to inactive mode (blank) and the programmed function will be canceled.
Timer The Timer can be set in minutes and seconds or hours and minutes and counts down the set time. NOTE: The Timer does not start or stop the oven. 1. Press TIMER SET/START. Press again to switch from MIN/SEC and HR/MIN. Bakeware 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. If no action is taken after 4 minutes, the display will return to the time of day mode. 2.
3. Press START. The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display throughout cooking. Temperature Probe (on some models) “Lo°” will appear as the probe temperature until the internal temperature of the food reaches 130°F (54°C). Then the display will show the temperature increasing in 5°F increments. WARNING When the set probe temperature is reached, the oven will shut off automatically and “End” will appear on the oven display.
BAKEWARE Positioning Racks and Bakeware IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain finish. To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 1" (2.5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide. NUMBER OF PAN(S) POSITION ON RACK 1 Center of rack. 2 Side by side or slightly staggered. 3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack.
Bake The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating casseroles. During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature. If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil element will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 30 seconds to 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.
To Use: Convection Cooking (on some models) In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.
CONVECTION ROASTING CHART Convection Roast Food/Rack Position (on some models) Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry, or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack. During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

The heat sources icons will appear lit on the oven display throughout the Sabbath Mode.
2. Press START. Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size, checking after 20-25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.

Press OFF to stop reminder tones or open the oven door. 3. Press OFF when finished proofing.
Warming Drawer Temperature Chart Different foods require different settings in order to maintain the ideal serving temperature. Use the following chart as a guide.
Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer: ■ Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt. ■ Remove all items from the storage drawer. How the Cycle Works IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 2 hour 30 minute clean cycle, however the time can be changed.
CERAMIC GLASS (on some models) CONTROL PANEL Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur. Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly to prevent streaking and staining. Cooktop Polishing Creme (sample included) is recommended for regular use to help prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions, and to condition the cooktop. It may be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” to order.
To Replace: Storage Drawer 1. Insert both hanger arms into the door. The storage drawer can be removed. Before removing, make sure drawer is cool and empty. To Remove: 1. Pull drawer straight out to the first stop. 2. Lift up the back of the drawer and pull out. To Replace: 1. Fit the ends of the drawer rails into the guides in the cavity. 2. Slide the drawer closed. Oven Door For normal range use, it is not suggested to remove the oven door.
TROUBLESHOOTING Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call. ■ On some models, does the cooling fan run during BAKE, Nothing will operate BROIL or CLEAN? It is normal for the fan to automatically run when the oven is in use. This helps cool the electronic control. ■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded outlet. Display shows messages Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
