Serial Number __________________________________ Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.
Child Safety Cooking Safety Never heat an unopened food container in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance. CAUTION NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance or on the appliance door to reach items could be seriously injured. Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns from steam.
Self-Clean Oven If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder. CAUTION Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer’s instructions when using glass. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils.
Care & Cleaning 6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self-clean cycle. Self-Clean Oven CAUTION • It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle. To set Self-Clean: • To prevent personal injury and damage to the oven door do not attempt to open door when “LOCK” is displayed.
3. Press the CLEAN pad. Sounds • “CLEAN” will flash. As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven. 4. Press the ▲ or ▼ pad. • “CL-M” (Medium Soil, 3 hours) is displayed. After Self-Cleaning 5. Press the ▲ or ▼ pad to scroll through the self-cleaning settings. About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will turn off. The door can then be opened. Move door lock lever to the left to unlock.
• Never use oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic cleaning agents on exterior finish of range. • 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. Broiler Pan and Insert Never cover insert with aluminum foil as this prevents the fat from draining to the pan below. • Place soapy cloth over insert and pan; let soak to loosen soil.
Maintenance Oven Door Leveling Legs CAUTION CAUTION • Do not place excessive weight on or stand on an open oven door. This could cause the range to tip over, break the door, or injure the user. Be sure the anti-tip bracket secures one of the rear leveling legs to the floor. This bracket prevents the range from accidentally tipping. • Do not attempt to open or close door or operate oven until door is properly replaced. Be sure the range is leveled when installed.
To remove: Storage Drawer 1. Empty drawer and pull out to the first stop position. CAUTION 2. Lift up the front of the drawer. 3. Pull out to the second stop position. Do not store plastic, paper products, food or flammable materials in this drawer. The drawer may become too warm for these items when the oven is in use. 4. Grasp sides and lift drawer up and out. To replace: 1. Fit the ends of the drawer glides into the rails in the range.
There is a strong odor or light smoke when oven is turned on. • This is normal for a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Initiating a clean cycle will “burn off” the odors more quickly. • Turning on a ventilation fan will help remove the smoke and/or odor. • Excessive food soils on the oven bottom. Use a self-clean cycle. • If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flareups may result in a fault code during cleaning.
CAUTION AFTER COOKING • Make sure surface unit is turned off. • Clean up messy spills as soon as possible. BEFORE COOKING • Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a pan in place. • NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware. OTHER TIPS • If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat.
The Bubble Test: • Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top. 1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn control to HIGH. • Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See Cleaning, pages 5-6.) 2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats. Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.
Oven Cooking 2. Press the ▲ or ▼ pad to set the time of day. Control Panel • Colon continues flashing. BROIL Use for broiling and top browning. BAKE Use for baking and roasting. ▲ or ▼ Enters or changes time, oven temperature. Sets HI or LO broil. TIMER Sets Timer.

To cancel Keep Warm: 1. Press the CANCEL pad. Notes: 2. Remove food from the oven. • Sabbath Mode can be turned on at any time with or without the oven on. • Sabbath Mode cannot be turned on if the touchpads are locked out or when the door is locked. Notes: • For optimal food quality, oven cooked foods should be kept warm for no longer than 1 to 2 hours. • If the oven is baking when Sabbath Mode is set, “BAKE” will go out at the end of the baking cycle. There will be no audible beeps.
Broiling 6. Turn meat once about halfway through cooking. To set Broil: 7. When food is cooked, press the CANCEL pad. Remove food and broiler pan from the oven. 1. Press the BROIL pad. • The time of day will reappear in the display. • BROIL flashes. • SET is displayed. 2. Press the ▲ pad to set HI broil or press the ▼ pad to set LO broil. Notes: • HI or LO will be displayed. • For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling. • Select HI broil (550° F) for normal broiling.
To replace: Oven Vent 1. Place rack on the rack support in the oven When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening. 2.
