IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

WARNING
Tip-Over Hazard

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.

For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.

If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket. Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be transferred to a qualified technician.

• Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching
  off the circuit breaker.

• Do not leave children alone-children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• CAUTION Do not store items of interest to children above a range or in the backyard of a range-children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Use only dry pot holders-moIst or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements, or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, and crevices around the oven door.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

• Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the oven bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Oven liners can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

WARNING
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

• Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

WARNING
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE FROM SPREADING

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fiting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
  foam-type fire extinguisher.

• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do notL force the door open. The introduction of fresh air at self- clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never leave the surface units unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
• Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
• 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 suface units.
• When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.
• If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn al surface unit knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.

WARNING RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.

• Use ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-scratch cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out before cleaning. a wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
  NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception. They should be scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for detailed instructions.

  • Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream label.

WARNING
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualified service technician.
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite.
• Place oven racks in the desired location while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the potholder contact the hot heating element in the oven.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer s directions.
• Pull the oven rack to the stop-ock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.
• Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

WARNING
SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven.

• Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean operation. Keep children away from the oven during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these instructions may cause burns.
• Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans, shiny metal oven racks, and other utensils from the oven. Only gray porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other parts, such as drip pans or bowls.
• Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and food soils from the oven. An excessive amount of grease may ignite leading to smoke damage to your home.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Has it serviced by a qualified technician?
• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
  • Do not use a protective coating to line the oven and do not use commercial oven cleaner unless certified for use in a self-cleaning oven.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time. To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging material.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR APPLIANCE
Dispose of or recycle your appliance in accordance with Federal and Local Regulations. Contact your local
authorities for the environmentally safe disposal or recycling of your appliance.

Surface Units

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range ON unattended. Keep flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, serious injury or death. Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
NOTE: Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanuD easier

How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want. A surface ON indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on

For glass cooktop surfaces:
A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will:

• Come on when the unit is hot to the touch.
• stay on even after the unit is turned off.
• stay on until the unit is cooled to approximately 150°F.
• At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking. indicating the control is maintaining your desired setting. Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.
• Melt setting (on some models) will melt chocolate or butter.

Dual Surface Units and Control Knobs (on some models)
The surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware you are using.

Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit. Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom. To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning. Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources.
These are available from manufacturers such as Ball and Kerr and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service. Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. The use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil.

Radiant Glass Cooktop

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature. The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting. It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full-strength white vinegar.
• The use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this film.
• Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
• Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass-the glass is scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof.

Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off for a time if

• the pan boils dry.
• the pan bottom is not flat.
• the pan is off-center.
• there is no pan on the unit.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop

The following information will help you choose cookware that will give good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Recommended

Stainless Steel Aluminum:
heavyweight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin-weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom:
Copper may leave residues that can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop
is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron:
recommended if the bottom of the pan is coated

Avoid/Not Recommended

Enamel (painted) on Steel:
Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended-unless designed specifically for glass cooktops Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.

For Best Results

• Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids. Wet pans and lids may stick to the surface when cool.
• Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of work will not heat on glass surface elements.
• We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface element to ensure proper contact.
• Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size.
• Do not place wet pans on the glass cooktop.
• Do not use woks with support rings on the glass cooktop.
• Use flat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop.

Oven Racks

Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 12 between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.
Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditional flat racks. To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the Oven on.

The number of rack positions may vary by model.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION “Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls
to prevent poor heat circulation.

Oven Cookware

Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crus If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing Oven temperature by 25° F next time. Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards. Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning Keep cookware clean to promote even heating. Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware i possible. Additional cook time may be required. Cookware used in broil modes and air fry must be broil- safe.

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the type and quantity of food you are preparing. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The Bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the oven door closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling; placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking. spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. It is not necessary to preheat when using the Broil modes.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would like to have a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start.
Warm
Warm modes are designed to keep hot, cooked foods hot. Cover foods that should remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is s not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food. It is
recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. To use this mode, press the Warm pad then press Start. The control display will show the oven is set to Bake at 170F.

Cook food thoroughly to help protect against food borne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations for food safety can be found at IsltDoneYet.gov. Make sure to use a food thermometer to take food temperatures.

Cleaning the Range – Exterior

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

warning:
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the inside of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs, in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.

Control Lockout
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.
See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this manual. Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use
abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.

Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel they will damage the finish, including Black Stainless Steel.

Oven Exterior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight. If the stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge scrubber for best results. Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces, and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Painted Surfaces and Black Stainless Steel
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, the top of the control panel, maintop trims and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface, including Black Stainless Steel.

Stainless Steel – Excluding Black Stainless Steel (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

Cleaning the Range – Interior

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range. The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners (unless certified for self cleaning oven), abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. VWhen cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.

Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode. Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks, the meat probe, and any cookware or other items should all be removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close the door. Press the Self Clean pad and a default self-clean time is displayed. The clean time can be changed to any time between 3:00 and
5:00 hours by using the number pads to enter a different time and pressing Start. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press the Start pad immediately after pressing the Clean pad. The oven will turn off automatically when the self- clean cycle is complete. The door will stay locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it. Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
On Some Models:
The surface units are automatically disabled during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle. Any surface unit that is set to an “on” position while the self-clean cycle is operating will automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in an “on” unattended surface unit. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity during self clean.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

NOTE: Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides. To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.

Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated. To clean the oven floor when the bake element is exposed, gently lift the bake element. On some models, the bake element is not exposed and is under the oven floor. Clean the oven floor with warm, soapy water.

• Gently lift the bake element
• Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Steam Clean Mode
Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soil from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of the oven. Close the door.

Press the Steam Clean pad and then press Start do not open the door during the 30-minute steam clean as this will decrease the steam clean performance. Wipeout any excess water and any remaining soil.

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop

To maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop, follow these steps:

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Regular use of ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse..

NOTE: It is very important that you DO NOT heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

use scrub pads other than those recommended.

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area.
3. Using a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub the residue area, applying pressure as needed.
4. If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above as needed.
5. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

Use a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.

Heavy, Burned-On Residue

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the Sol. It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor scraper in order to remove the residue.
3. After scraping with the razor scraper, spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area. Use a non-scratch cleaning pad to remove any
4. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

The ceramic cooktop scraper and all recommended supplies are available through our Parts Center. See the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.
NOTE: Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Metal Marks and Scratches

1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface.
   These marks are removable using the a ceramic cooktop cleaner with a non- scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.

2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop.
   This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.
   NOTE: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.

Cooktop Seal
To clean the cooktop seal around the edges of the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean with nonabrasive cleaners.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic
Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your
cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
Do nat use a dull or nicked hlade

1. Tun off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

2. Wearing an oven mitt:
   a. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper to move the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.
   b. Remove the spill with paper towels.

3. Any remaining spllover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.

4. Don’t use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely removed.
   NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass surface has already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
