Page 4: Important Safety Instructions
(continued) Oven • Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes. • Do not heat unopened food containers.
Page 5 • To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units. • Always turn the surface units off before removing the cookware.

Page 8 HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE This new range has a Radiant glass cooktop. The radiant cooktop works differently than any other type, as to how it conducts heat and how it interacts with different types of cookware. Type of Cooktop...
Page 9 General Information About Radiant Surface Units The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by outlines on the glass. Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
Page 10: Surface Light
At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit at the heat level or power level you set. Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than switching to lower settings.
Page 11: Hot Surface Indicator Light
Special Notes for Glass Cooktops: Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high so be careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface indicator light will remain lit after the surface unit is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.
Page 12: Cookware Tips
SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS Types of Cookware The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance. Stainless Steel: highly recommended Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution).
Page 13 How to Check Pan Performance Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking performance and cleaning of your cooktop. The correct cookware reduces the temperature of the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of spillovers burning onto the cooktop. You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms. Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or may be warped.
Page 14: Canning Tips
Canning should be done on the cooktop only. Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit circle are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.
Page 15: Glass Cooktop
GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING Glass Cooktop Cleaning Cleaning of glass cooktops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass cooktop follow these basic steps. Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream.
Page 16 Make sure the handle is to the right as far as it will go. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Allow the oven to cool for one hour. If function error code repeats, disconnect the power to the range and call for service. BROIL...
Page 17: Clock And Timer
OVEN CONTROL, CLOCK AND TIMER Clock The clock must be set for the automatic oven timing functions to work properly. The time of day cannot be changed during a Timed Baking or a Self-Cleaning cycle. Timer The timer is a minute timer only. The timer does not control oven operations.

3. Read over the information and tips that follow. 4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range. To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it towards you, tilt the front end upward and pull it out.
Page 19: Oven Shelves
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
Page 20: Pan Placement
Baking Pans Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur. • Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies. •...
Page 21: Timed Baking
Don’t Peek Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.” How to Time Bake Do not lock the oven door with the latch during Timed Baking.

Page 23: Do It Yourself
ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT — You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.
Page 24: Use Of Aluminum Foil
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Page 25: Roasting Guide
Questions and Answers Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.
Page 26 Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should? A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in oven.
Page 27: Broiling Guide
• Always use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. • The oven door should be open to the broil stop position. • If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
Page 28 3. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the Clean Time. Before a Clean Cycle The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven to cool before you can slide the door latch.
Page 29 How to Set the Oven for Cleaning Quick Reminder: 1. Latch the door. 2. Press the AUTO SELF CLEAN pad. 3. Press the + or – pad to set the Clean Time. If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean cycle, the word “OFF”...

Proper care and cleaning are important so your radiant range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. If soil, mineral deposits from evaporated water spills or metal rub-off from aluminum cookware is not removed, it will burn on the glass cooktop surface and cause permanent discoloration.
Page 32: Control Panel
The cooktop light is easily replaced with a fluorescent tube of the same wattage. Before changing the light, pull the plug to the range or disconnect the power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. To remove: •...
Page 33: Oven Heating Elements
Lift-Off Oven Door The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. Do not lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass to break or can cause damage to the door.
Page 34: Oven Light
How to Remove the Storage Drawer to Clean Under the Range The area under the range can be reached easily for cleaning by removing the bottom drawer. To remove, pull the drawer out all the way, tilt up the front and remove it.
Page 35: Installation Instructions
If the electric service provided does not meet the above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed electrician install an approved outlet. Because range terminals are not accessible after the range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used. STEP 1 PREPARE THE OPENING ⁄...
Page 36 When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.

Insert bare wires between the connector block terminals and movable nuts. Tighten screws securely. Attach ground wire to the frame of the range.
Page 39: Leveling
STEP 9 LEVELING THE RANGE The range must be level. Leveling feet are located at each corner of the base of the range. Remove the storage drawer or kick panel (depending on your model) and using channel locks, rotate the leveling feet in and out as required to level the range.
Page 40 • Check for power outage. • Review the Oven Control, Clock and Timer section of this guide. • The oven temperature is too high to set self-clean operation. Allow the range to cool to room temperature and reset the controls.
