Using Your Range
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the
edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to IGNITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the pan.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If
the burner does not ignite, listen for a clicking
sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn
the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit
breaker or blown household fuse. Check that
the control knob is pressed completely down
on the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does
not operate, call a trained repair specialist.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to
IGNITE.
IMPORTANT: All 4 surface burners will
click. Only the burner with the control knob
turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and
LO.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on
some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle,
the entire cooktop area may become hot.
IMPORTANT: When cooktop is in use, the
Self-Cleaning cycle will be disabled. An error
tone will sound and the Cooktop On indicator
light will flash. If you turn on the cooktop when
the Self-Cleaning cycle is in use, it will disable
the Self-Cleaning cycle and “END” will be
displayed.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn
knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. After the burner lights, turn knob to setting.
ALUMINUM FOIL
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of
foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
POSITIONING RACKS AND BAKEWARE
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do
not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Racks
� Position racks before turning on the oven.
� Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
� Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations as a guide for
positioning racks.
Baking Layer Cakes on Two Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack
positions 2 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
BURNER SIZE
Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.
Burner Size Recommended Use
Small (AUX)
� Low-heat cooking
� Melting chocolate or butter
Medium (SR)
� Multipurpose burner
Large (UR)
� For large cookware
OVEN VENT
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the
oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking
or covering the oven vent will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do
not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt
or burn near the oven vent.
A. Oven vent
OVEN LIGHT
The oven light is a 40 W halogen bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the
control knobs are in the Off position.
To Replace:
1. Disconnect power.
2. Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove bulb from socket.
4. Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decreasing the
life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers.
5. Replace bulb cover by turning clockwise.
6. Reconnect power.
IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
