• Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a damp  
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the  
range or turn off the power to the range before removing and  
replacing light bulb.  
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface  
unit reflector pans, drip bowls, oven bottom or any other part of  
the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if  
used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective  
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.  
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/  
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are  
suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the  
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's  
recommendations for rangetop use.  
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an  
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will  
become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that  
the element is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.  
Damage may also be done to the cooktop.  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING  
YOUR RANGE  
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease  
that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area  
underneath each surface element. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods  
and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to  
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to  
the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.  
Kitchen cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's  
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue  
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or  
injury.  
SELF-CLEANING OVENS:  
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven  
listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,  
remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.

Oven Cleaning  
Figure 1  
Figure 2  
During the self-cleaning  
cycle,theoutsideoftherangecanbecome  
very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave  
small children unattended near the  
appliance.  
Self-Cleaning Oven  
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking  
temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash  
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.  
DO NOT line the oven  
walls,racks,bottomoranyother part  
of the range with aluminum foil.  
Doing so will destroy heat  
distribution, produce poor baking  
resultsandcausepermanentdamage  
to the oven interior (aluminum foil  
will melt to the interior surface of the  
oven).  
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:  
Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.  
Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after  
the self-clean cycle.  
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part  
of the self-cleaning oven.  
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door  
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage  
or remove the gasket.  
• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could  
cause damage.  
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum  
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.  
3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the  
clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the  
cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax  
paperoraclothcontainingasmallamountofbabyoilorsaladoil(thiswillmake  
the racks glide easier into the rack position).  
4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning  
cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause  
heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food  
spillswithahighsugaroracidcontent(suchasmilk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit  
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even  
after cleaning.  
5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket  
and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat  
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.  
DO NOT force the oven  
door open. This can damage the  
automatic door locking system. Use  
caution when opening the door after  
the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The  
oven may still be VERY HOT.

Surface Elements and Drip Bowls  
General Cleaning  
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans  
easier.Thesurfaceelementscleanthemselveswhentheyareturnedon.Foodspilled  
on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with  
a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used.  
Never immerse a surface element in water.

Be sure the range is cool  
before removing elements or drip bowls.  
Be careful not to bend terminal ends  
when replacing elements after cleaning.  
To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls  
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface  
element and drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop.  
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end  
out from the terminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip  
from the drip bowl.  
To Clean Drip Bowls  
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm. Hard  
to remove, burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20  
minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and water  
(1/2cupammoniato1gallonofwater).Anylonscrubbermaybeusedaftersoaking.

The temperature in the oven has been set at the factory. When first using the oven,  
be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot  
or too cool, the temperature in the oven can be adjusted. Before adjusting, test a  
recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the  
recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how  
much of an adjustment is needed.  
Adjusting Oven  
Temperature  
Figure 1  
To Adjust Oven Temperature (Figure 1)  
1. With the dial set to OFF, press and hold START for 30 seconds until a single  
beep is heard.  
2. Within 5 seconds, turn the Temperature Control Knob clockwise to either the  
High (HI) or Low (LO) Broil setting. Select High Broil (HI) to increase the  
temperature or Low Broil (LO) to decrease the temperature.  
3. The temperature can be adjusted up or down 35°F, in 5°F steps, by pressing  
START. Adjust until the desired amount of offset is indicated by the indicator  
lights as follows:  
A flashing "OVEN" indicator light indicates a positive offset, while a flashing  
"LOCK" indicator light indicates a negative offset. The lights will flash once for  
each 5°F of offset. If no light is flashing, the oven control has the original factory  
calibration, and the offset is 0°F. Example: If the OVEN indicator light is flashing  
three times and then pauses, the offset is +15°F.  
4. When you have made the desired adjustment, turn the Temperature Control  
Knob to OFF.

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list  
includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or  
materials in this appliance.  
Avoid Service Checklist  
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among its  
many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly  
monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are  
all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will  
immediately stop operation, and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1 or  
F3* in the display window, if equipped).  
OCCURRENCE  
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION  
Range is not level.  
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack.  
Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level.  
Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.  
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.  
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are  
square and have sufficient room for range clearance.  
Cannot move appliance easily.  
Appliance must be accessible for  
service.  
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make  
appliance accessible.  
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over  
carpet.  
*Oven control beeps continuously  
with no indicator lights flashing. (If  
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Turn the Temperature Control Knob  
to OFF, and disconnect the power to the range. Wait 30 seconds and reconnect the  
model is equipped with a display, F1 power. If fault recurs, disconnect the power and contact an authorized servicer.  
or F3 will show.)  
Surface element too hot or not hot  
enough.  
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element  
to be used.  
Surface element does not heat.  
Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or  
heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials  
and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-weight pans heat  
evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.  
No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate"  
in this Avoid Service Checklist.  
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element  
to be used.  
Element not making contact in block. Follow instructions under "Surface Elements  
and Drip Bowls" in the General Cleaning section.  
Entire appliance does not operate.  
Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.  
Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized  
servicer.  
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for  
service.

Cooktop and/or oven lights (some  
models) does not work.  
Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Cooktop and/or Oven Lights (some  
models) in this Owner's Guide for instructions.  
Oven smokes excessively during  
broiling.  
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls.  
Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.  
Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance  
between the meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing.  
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty  
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.  
Grid on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on  
the broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.  
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling  
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.  
Poor baking results.  
If baked food items are too dark on top or bottom, allow the oven to preheat to  
the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Make sure the proper rack  
position is used when baking food. Set temperature 25°F lower than recommended.  
If food is not done after recommended time, increase set temperature by 25°F.  
Self-cleaning cycle does not work.  
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Oven Cleaning.  
Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting  
a Self-Cleaning Cycle" under Oven Cleaning.  
Soil not completely removed after  
self-cleaning cycle.  
Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside  
oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to  
burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned-  
on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber.  
Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.  
Flames inside oven or smoking from  
vent.  
Excessive spillovers in oven. Set self-clean cycle for a longer cleaning time.  
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for high oven temperatures,  
pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive  
spillovers before starting cycle. If flames or excessive smoke are present, stop the  
self-clean cycle and follow steps under "Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning  
Cycle" in the Oven Cleaning section.
