Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. The controls can be set anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels. Ceramic Glass Use 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.
■ 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.

Oven Vent Custom Broil The broil element operates at full power when heating. Use this setting for normal broiling and top browning. ■ Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke. ■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning. ■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to prevent curling.
BROILING CHART For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes. It is recommended that food be turned approximately two-thirds of the way through the total cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature in 2 or 3 places. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (4). Do not use position 5.

Press START. A preheating time will count down on the display, and “PrE” will appear. The oven control automatically sets preheating time based on the oven temperature selected. As the preheating time ends, the set temperature replaces “PrE” on the display.
Timed Cooking RANGE CARE WARNING Self-Cleaning Cycle Food Poisoning Hazard (on some models) Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. WARNING Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start should not be used for foods such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly. Burn Hazard To Set a Cook Time: 1.
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 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, however the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Heavy soil, dark streaks, specks and discoloration ■ Cooktop Polishing Creme or nonabrasive cleanser: Rub product into soil with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears. OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR ■ Burned-on soil ■ Cooktop Polishing Creme and Cooktop Scraper: Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel. Rub creme into soil with damp paper towel. Hold scraper as flat as possible on surface and scrape. Repeat for stubborn spots.
To Replace: Oven Light(s) 1. Insert both hanger arms into the door. The oven light is a standard 15-watt appliance bulb. It will come on when the oven door is opened. The light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle (on some models). On some models, when the oven door is closed, press OVEN LIGHT to turn the light on or off. To Replace: Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are off. 1. Unplug range or disconnect power. 2.
