Do not attempt to adjust, repair, service, or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified servicer.
Important Safety Instructions If appliance is installed near a window, precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over surface elements. If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder. NEVER use appliance to warm or heat the room. Failure to follow this instruction can lead to possible burns, injury, fire, or damage to the appliance.
Important Safety Instructions Deep Fat Fryers NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised in area where appliance is in use or is still hot. Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan. NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned. Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in or on it can be hot.
Surface Cooking Surface Controls Suggested Heat Settings The size, type of cookware and cooking operation will affect the heat setting. For information on cookware and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 7 and “Cooking Made Simple” booklet. Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.
Surface Cooking Smoothtop Surface Hot Surface Light The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the control panel. The light will be illuminated when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on, even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled. Smoothtop Surface Notes: • For Canadian models, the smoothtop does NOT operate during a clean cycle. Warming Center (select models) • Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
Surface Cooking To Prevent Stains Tips to Protect the Smoothtop Surface • Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated. Cleaning (see page 20 for more information) • Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain. • Before first use, clean the cooktop. • Clean your cooktop daily or after each use.
Surface Cooking Canning and Oversize Cookware Cookware Recommendations Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly. All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element.

The oven MUST be set for a bake operation before setting the Automatic Shut-off/ Sabbath Mode. • Sabbath Mode cannot be turned on if the touchpads are locked out or when the doors are locked.
Oven Cooking Adjusting the Oven Temperature Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges get older, the oven temperature can shift. You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake.
Oven Cooking Oven Vent Oven Racks When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening. CAUTION The oven vent is located below the backguard vent shield on your range. • Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven is hot. When high moisture foods are cooked in the upper oven, steam may be visible coming from the oven vent. This is normal. OVEN VENT LOCATION • Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.

Care & Cleaning Self-Clean Oven is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a selfclean cycle. CAUTION Notes: • It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle. • Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program a clean cycle. • To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open the door when “Lock” is displayed. • Only one oven can be cleaned at a time.

To prevent damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when “Lock” is displayed. • “Clean” and “Set” will flash. If the door is not closed within 25 seconds, the selfcleaning operation will be canceled and the display will return to the time of day.
Care & Cleaning Cleaning Procedures CAUTION • Be sure appliance is off and all parts are cool before handling or cleaning. This is to avoid damage and possible burns. • To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use. • If a part is removed, be sure it is correctly replaced. PART * Brand names are registered trademarks of the respective manufacturers. ** To order call 1-877-232-6771 USA and 1-800-688-8408 Canada.
Care & Cleaning PART PROCEDURE Oven Windows and Doors – Glass • Avoid using excessive amounts of water which may seep under or behind glass causing staining. • Wash with soap and water. Rinse with clear water and dry. Glass cleaner can be used if sprayed on a cloth first. • Do not use abrasive materials such as scouring pads, steel wool or powdered cleaners as they will scratch glass. Oven Interior • Follow instructions on pages 18-19 to set a self-clean cycle. Oven Racks • Clean with soapy water.
Maintenance Oven Doors Oven Windows To protect the oven door window: CAUTION 1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch the glass. • Do not place excessive weight on or stand on open oven doors. This could cause the range to tip over, break the door, or injure the user. • Do not attempt to open or close doors or operate oven until doors are properly replaced. 2.
Maintenance Leveling Legs Convenience Outlet (Canadian models only) CAUTION The convenience outlet is located on the lower left side of the backguard. Be sure appliance cords do not rest on or near the surface element. If the surface element is turned on, the cord and outlet will be damaged. Be sure the anti-tip bracket secures one of the rear leveling legs to the floor. This bracket prevents the range from accidentally tipping. The range should be leveled when installed.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM SOLUTION For most concerns, try these first. • • • • Check if oven controls have been properly set. Check to be sure plug is securely inserted into receptacle. Check or re-set circuit breaker. Check or replace fuse. Check power supply. Part or all of appliance does not work. • • • • • Check if surface and/or oven controls have been properly set. See pages 4 & 10. Check if oven door is unlocked after self-clean cycle. See page 19.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM SOLUTION Oven door will not unlock after self-clean cycle. • Oven interior is still hot. Allow about one hour for the oven to cool after the completion of a self-clean cycle. The door can be opened when “Lock” is not displayed. • The control and door may be locked. See page 9. Smoothtop surface shows wear. 1. Tiny scratches or abrasions. • Make sure cooktop and pan bottom are clean. Do not slide glass or metal pans across top. Make sure pan bottom is not rough.
