CAUTION This range has been designed to comply with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperatures of 194°F. Makesurethewall covering,countertops and cabinetsaround the range can withstand the heat (up to 194 °F) generated by the range.
PREPARING TO INSTALL THE RANGE Minimum dimensions IMPORTANT To eliminate the risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

INTRODUCING YOUR NEW RANGE Before you begin Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for the first time. Then, remove the accessories, set the oven to bake, and then run the oven at 350 °F for 30 minutes. There will be a distinctive odor. This is normal. Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period. Energy saving tips • During cooking, the oven door should remain closed except when you turn food over.
COOKTOP COOKING CAUTION BEFORE COOKING • Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board. • Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. • Turn the surface units on only after placing cookware on them. • Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and damage it.
COOKTOP COOKING Location of the radiant surface elements and controls The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface elements on the cooktop as shown below.
COOKTOP COOKING Cooking areas The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooking surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. Pans should not extend more than .5 to 1 in. (1.3 to 2.5 cm) beyond the cooking area. When a control is turned on, you can see a glow through the glass cooking surface.The element cycles on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even at high settings.
COOKTOP COOKING What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner to the pan bottom. Protecting the ceramic cooktop Cleaning • Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time. • Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This helps keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage. • If a spillover occurs while you are cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
POSITIONING THE OVEN RACKS You can remove and reposition the oven racks in any of the six rack positions. Each oven rack has a builtin stop to prevent it from accidentally being pulled completely out. Correct positioning of the oven racks provides the best cooking results. WARNING Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door. Escaping hot air or steam can burn your hands, face, or eyes. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. NOTE The rack position above 6 is not usable.
OPERATING THE OVEN Oven Burner Use To light the oven burner, push and turn the appropriate control knob counterclockwise to the (150°F~500°F) position. Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to adjust the desired temperature setting. Do not push and turn the control knob clockwise from the “OFF” position. Do not turn the control knob without pushing it.
OPERATING THE OVEN Oven Cooking Safety Guidelines √ Do not block the ducts on the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is important that the flow of moist warm air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner never be interrupted. Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation because they are hot. Do not pace plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent. √ Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed.
OPERATING THE OVEN 3. Preheat the oven to the temperature stated in the recipe. Depending on the temperatureand the size of the oven, preheating will vary. For better cooking performance and exact oven cavity temperature, preheating time will be 10 mins per 100 Degrees. 4. Arrange pans and food items evenly on the shelves. Make sure pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven. When baking a single item, always center the item on the oven shelf.
OPERATING THE OVEN Broiler Operation CAUTION Door must be closed during broiler operation. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the infrared broiler in the oven. Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the oven door closed. It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor. If you open the oven door to check the food, have it open for as short a time as possible.
CLEANING & MAINTANANCE WARNING • Always make sure that the controls are off and all surfaces are cool before removing or cleaning any of the range parts. This will prevent you from getting burned. • If your range is pulled out from the wall for any reason, make sure that the anti-tip device is reengaged after your range has been pushed back into place. Failure to take this precaution could result in your range tipping and personal injury.
CLEANING CLEANING & MAINTANANCE & MAINTANANCE Cleaning the oven door CAUTION • DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket. • DO NOT immerse the door in water. • DO NOT spray or let water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. • DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
CLEANING & MAINTANANCE Cleaning the surface burner control knobs WARNING Do not use spray cleaners on the surface burner control panel. Spray entering the valve holes could contact electrical components resulting in death, personal injury, or product damage. 1. Make sure that all surface burner knobs are in the OFF position. 2. Pull the control knobs straight off the surface burner control valve stems. Do not clean the control knobs in a dishwasher. They are not dishwasher-safe. 3.
CLEANING & MAINTANANCE Cleaning sugary spills and melted plastics NOTE If pitting or indentations in the glass surface have already occurred, they can’t be repaired.The cooktop glass will have to be replaced. Sugary spillovers (such jellies, fudge, candy, and syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the cooktop surface. This is not covered under the warranty. You should clean the spill while it is still hot. Take special care when removing hot substances.
REMOVING THE OVEN DOOR Removing and replacing the oven door Do not lift the oven door by its handle.Doing so may damage the door. Make sure the oven and the door are cool before you begin to remove the door. IMPORTANT Before removing the door,make sure there is a large enough clear,protected surface in the kitchen to rest the door on.
