• Do not operate the range if it isdamaged or not working properly.

•Do not wear loose or hanginggarments when using therange. They could ignite if theytouch a hot surface unit andyou could be burned.

•Use only dry pot holders. Moistor damp pot holders on hotsurfaces could result in burnsfrom steam. Do not let pot holdertouch hot heating elements. Donot use a towel or bulky cloth fora pot holder. It could catch on fire.

•Keep range vents unobstructed.•Do not heat unopened containers.They could explode. The hotcontents could cause burnsand container particles couldcause injury.

•Use only cookware approved foroven use. Follow cookwaremanufacturer’s instructions,especially when using glass orplastic cookware.

•Do not store flammablematerials on or near the range.The fumes could create an explo-sion and/or fire hazard.

•Do not repair or replace any partof the range unless specificallyrecommended in this manual. Allother servicing should be referredto a qualified technician.

•Disconnect the electrical supplybefore servicing the range.

When using the cooktop•Make sure the reflector bowls arein place during cooking. Cookingwithout reflector bowls could sub-ject the wiring and componentsunderneath them to damage.

•Do not line reflector bowls withaluminum foil or other liners.Improper installation of theseliners could result in a risk ofelectrical shock or fire.

•Select a pan with a flat bottomthat is about the same size asthe surface unit. If pan is smallerthan the surface unit, some of theheating element will be exposedand could result in the igniting ofclothing or pot holders. Correctpan size also improves cookingefficiency.

•Check to be sure glass cookwareis safe for use on the range. Onlycertain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, orother glazed cookware are suit-able for cooktops without breakingdue to the sudden change intemperature.

•Never leave surface units unat-tended at high heat settings. Aboilover could result and causesmoking and greasy spilloversthat could ignite.

•Turn pan handles inward, but notover other surface units. This willhelp reduce the chance of burns,igniting of flammable materials,and spills due to bumping ofthe pan.

•Grease is flammable. Do not allowgrease to collect around cooktopor in vents. Wipe spilloversimmediately.

•Do not use water on grease fires.Never pick up a flaming pan.Smother flaming pan on rangeby covering with a well-fitting lid,cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaminggrease outside of pan can beextinguished with baking sodaor, if available, a multipurposedry chemical, or foam-typeextinguisher.

•Do not soak removable heatingelements in water. The elementwill be damaged and shock orfire could result.

When using the oven

•Always position oven rack(s) indesired location while oven iscool. If a rack must be removedwhile oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heatingelements in oven.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

•Use care when opening ovendoor. Let hot air or steam escapebefore removing or replacing food.

•Small amounts of formaldehydeand carbon monoxide are givenoff in the Self-Cleaning cycle fromfiberglass insulation and fooddecomposition. Significant expo-sure to these substances couldcause cancer or reproductiveharm. Exposure can be minimizedby venting with a hood or openwindow and wiping out excessfood spills prior to self-cleaning.

•Do not use oven cleaners. Nocommercial oven cleaner oroven liner protective coatingof any kind should be used inor around any part of the oven.

•Before self-cleaning the oven,remove broiler pan, broiler grid,oven racks, and other cookware.Do not use your oven to cleanmiscellaneous parts unless youare instructed to do so in thisUse and Care Guide.

U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Cookware tips• Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface unit.

• NOTE: For best results and greaterenergy efficiency, use only flat-bottomedcookware that makes good contact withthe surface units. Cookware with rounded,warped, ribbed (such as some porcelainenamelware), or dented bottoms couldcause severe overheating, which damagesthe cookware and/or surface unit.

You can, however, use the newercookware available with slightly indentedbottoms or very small expansion channels.This cookware is specially designed toprovide the good contact needed for bestcooking results.

Also, woks, canners, and teakettles withflat bottoms suitable for use on yourcooktop are now available in most storesthat sell housewares.

• The pan should have straight sides and atight-fitting lid.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affectshow fast heat transfers from the surfaceunit through the pan material and howevenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.Choose pans that provide the best cookingresults.

• Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-resistant material and be securely attachedto the pan.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, orcookware which has boiled dry, on a hotsurface unit. The cookware could overheatand damage the cookware or surface unit.

Home canning information

• Use the largest surface unit for bestresults. Also, use a canner/pan which canbe centered over the surface unit andwhich does not extend more than 1 inchoutside surface unit area. Large diametercanners/pans, if not properly centered, trapheat and can cause damage to thecooktop.

• Start with hot water. This reduces thetime the control is set on high. Reduceheat setting to lowest position needed tokeep water boiling.

• Keep reflector bowls clean for bestheat reflection.

• Refer to your canner manual for specificinstructions.

Optional canning kitThe large diameter of most water-bath orpressure canners combined with high heatsettings for long periods of time can shortenthe life of regular surface units and causedamage to the cooktop.

If you plan to use the cooktop for canning,we recommend the installation of a CanningKit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from yourKitchenAid dealer, or call 1-800-422-1230and follow the instructions and telephoneprompts you hear.

NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back tothe cookware on the surface units. Theyalso help catch spills. When they are keptclean, they reflect heat better and look newlonger.

If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some ofyour cookware may not be flat enough, orsome may be too large for the surface unit.In either case, some of the heat that’s meantto go into or around cookware goes downand heats the reflector bowl. This extra heatcan discolor it.

Cleaning under the lift-upcooktop1. Lift front of cooktop at both front corners

until the support rods lock into place.

2. Wipe with warm, soapy water. Use asoapy steel-wool pad on heavily soiledareas.

3. To lower the cooktop, lift cooktopfrom both sides while pushing thesupport rods back to unlock them.Lower the cooktop into place.

Adjusting oven temperatureAlthough your new oven is properly adjustedto provide accurate temperatures, it maycook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time,you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offsettemperature by following the steps below.The control will “remember” the selectedoffset even after the power has been inter-rupted or lost.

1. Choose Bake setting.

PRESSand hold

for 4 seconds

Release the Bake pad when a numberappears in the temperature display andyou hear a tone.

2. Set new offset temperature.

PRESS

Each time you press the Bake pad, thedisplayed temperature will increase by5°F. To decrease the temperature,hold down the Bake pad until the dis-play goes past 35°F. At that point thedisplay will return to 0 and will then de-crease 5°F for every time you press theBake pad. You can set the offset tem-perature adjustment as low as -35°F or ashigh as +35°F. (To determine the amountof adjustment needed, see the chart onpage 21.)

Broiling tips• Always start broiling with a cold broiler

pan for even results.• To retain more natural juice, do not

pierce meat with a fork.• Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and

chops.

• Slit fatty edges to prevent meat fromcurling during broiling.

• Use a nonstick cooking spray orvegetable oil on the broiler pan and gridwhen broiling fish to prevent sticking.

Cooking tipsBaking tipsThe hot air must circulate around the pans inthe oven for even heat to reach all parts ofthe oven. This results in better baking.

For best air circulation:• Place the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

• For best results, allow 11⁄2 to 2 inches ofspace around each pan and between pansand oven walls.

• When baking with one pan, place pan inthe center of the oven rack.

• When baking with two pans, place pansin opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heatloss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfac-tory baking or roasting results. Rely onyour timer.

Your oven has two straight racks and fiverack positions. Rack position 5 is the highestposition, or farthest from the bottom of theoven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position,or closest to the bottom of the oven.

For proper cooking, follow theseguidelines:• When using one rack, place the rack so

the top of the food will be centered in theoven.

• When using two racks, place one rack inposition 1 and the other rack in position 3.

• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven ata time when using the Bake setting.

Bakeware tips• When baking with insulated cookie

sheets or baking pans, place them in thebottom third of the oven. You may need toincrease the recommended baking times,so test for doneness before removing fromthe oven.

• When using ovenproof glassware ordark bakeware , reduce the oven tem-perature by 25°F, but use the samebaking time. Because these pans absorbheat, producing darker bottom browningand crispier crusts, place the rack in thecenter of the oven. When baking pies andbread, you can use the temperaturesuggested in the recipe.

Rack placement for specific foods:(For rack positions, see “Rack positions” onpage 28.)

Using aluminum foil in the ovenUse aluminum foil to catch spillovers frompies or casseroles.

• Place the foil on the oven rack below therack with the food. Turn foil edges up andmake sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) largerall around than the dish holding the food.

• Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-num foil. It will reduce air circulation andcause poor cooking results.

• Do not line oven bottom or entire ovenrack with foil or other liners. It could affectthe quality of your baking.

Roasting tips• Roast meats fat-side up in a shallow pan

using a roasting rack.• Use a roasting pan that fits the size of

the food to be roasted. Meat juices mayoverflow the sides of a pan that is toosmall. Too large of a pan will result inincreased oven spatter.

• Spatter can be reduced by lining thebottom of the roasting pan with lightlycrushed aluminum foil.

• A foil tent will slow down surfacebrowning for long-term roasting, as whenroasting a turkey. Place tent-shaped foilloosely over meat to allow for air circula-tion. Do not seal foil or meat will besteamed.

• Use an accurate meat thermometer todetermine when meat has reached desireddegree of doneness. Insert the thermom-eter into the center of the thickest portionof the meat or inner thigh or breast ofpoultry. For an accurate reading, the tip ofthe thermometer should not touch fat,bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once,push it further into the meat 1⁄2 inch ormore and read again. If the temperaturedrops, return the meat to the oven formore cooking.

• Check pork and poultry with a thermom-eter in 2-3 places to ensure adequatedoneness.

• Poultry and roasts will be easier tocarve if loosely covered with foil andallowed to stand 10-15 minutes afterremoval from the oven.

Using the Self-Cleaning CycleThe Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate theSelf-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycle properly,follow the step-by-step instructions in this section.

Hand-clean dooraround edge

Hand-clean frame

DO NOThand-cleangasket

• Wipe up food spills containing sugar assoon as possible after the oven coolsdown. When sugar is heated to a hightemperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, thehigh temperature can cause the sugar toburn and react with the porcelain. This cancause staining and etching or pitting.

• Remove the oven racks from the oven ifyou want them to remain shiny. You canclean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,but they will discolor and become harderto slide. If you clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on therack guides.

• Heat and odors are normal during theSelf-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchenwell ventilated by opening a window orby turning on a vent hood or otherkitchen vent during the cycle.

NOTES:• Do not block the vent during the Self-

Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely forbest cleaning results.

• Do not leave plastic utensils on thecooktop. They may melt.

• Do not leave any foil in oven during theSelf-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn ormelt and damage the oven surface.

• The oven lights will not work during theSelf-Cleaning cycle.

wWARNINGBurn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, orillness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,make sure you:• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do

not get hot enough during the Self-Clean-ing cycle for soil to burn away. Use hotwater and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bendthe gasket. Poor cleaning, baking androasting may result.

• Remove the broiler pan and grid andanything else being stored in the oven.

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. Thiswill help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

For best cleaning results• After the oven cools to room tempera-

ture, wipe up any residue or ash with adamp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain,clean with a mild abrasive cleanser orcleaning sponge.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavilysoiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takeslonger and results in more smoke thanusual.

How the cycle worksThe Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heatto burn away soil and grease. During thecycle, the oven gets much hotter than itdoes for normal baking or broiling. This highheat breaks up the soil or grease and burnsit away.

Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. However, the cycle timecan be adjusted to the amount of soil inyour oven. The cycle can be set anywherebetween 2 and 4 hours. (See “Setting thecontrols” on page 37.)

The graph at the right is representative ofa normal, 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notethat the heating stops when the 3-hoursetting is up, but it takes longer for the ovento cool enough to unlock.
