IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR AN ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR OR WALL, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO THE REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or in the backyard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
• Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the range.
• User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
• Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place – The absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners 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 range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – A build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
• Placement of Oven Racks – Always 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 hot heating element in the oven.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
  For self-cleaning ranges
• Do Not Clean 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 Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and other utensils.
  For units with ventilating hood
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
• When flam being foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

FEATURE GUIDE

This manual covers several models. Your model may have some or all of the items listed. Refer to this manual or the Product Help section of our website at www.maytag.com for more detailed instructions. In Canada, refer to the Product Help section at www.maytag.ca.

WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in the oven for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

COOKTOP USE

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Lo. Push in and turn to set.
REMEMBER: When the range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area may glow red when an element is ON. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is ON. The glow will also randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on Hi, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures. This is a normal operation. It is normal for the surface of the light-colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color. Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Affresh ® Cooktop Cleaner and the Cooktop Scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

• Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
• For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and cause pitting and permanent marks.
• To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.
• Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2″ (13 mm) outside the area.

• Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.
• Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
• Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.
• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

Cooktop On Indicator Light
The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the display panel.
When any cooktop element on the console panel is turned on, the Cooktop On indicator light will glow.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
On ceramic glass models, the Hot surface indicator light is located on the display panel.
The Hot Surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off.

Dual Zone Cooking Element
The Dual Zone cooking element offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer elements and is recommended for larger size cookware.

Warming Zone
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in the oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Use the cooktop Warming Zone to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warming Zone can be used alone or when any of the other surface cooking areas are being used.
The Warming Zone area will not glow red when cycling on.
However, the Cooktop On indicator light will be displayed when the Warming Zone is in use.

• Use only cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use.
• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use plastic wrap to cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

To Use:

1. To turn on, press WARMING ZONE ON/OFF and then START.
2. To turn off, press WARMING ZONE ON/OFF.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or coils. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler. Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2″ (13 mm) outside the area.

Home Canning

Canning can be performed on a glass smooth-top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

• Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1 /2″ (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
• Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.
• On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.
• For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first fewtimes or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to fumes may result in the death of certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Aluminum

Foil IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover the entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2″ (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks

• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide for positioning racks.

Rack Positions

Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack positions 2 and 4. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress. NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheating and baking to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information. On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See the “Accessories” section.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

RANGE CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in the death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see the “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section. Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Range:

• Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks, aluminum foil, and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the inside door edge and the 1 1 /2″ (38 mm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.
• Wipeout any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.
• Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.
• Remove all items from the storage drawer.

How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping sounds. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to powdery ash. Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool, damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled. The oven light is disabled during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press CANCEL. If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked, and “cool” and “” will be displayed. When shows in the display, the door of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when is displayed. Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin. Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic control requires a 12-hour delay before another Self-Cleaning cycle can be started.

Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time
The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 30-minute increments.
Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the cycle is for cooling down.

To Self-Clean:

1. Press SELF CLEAN.
2. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” keypad to enter the desired Self-Cleaning cycle time.
3. Press START. The oven door will automatically lock. The Door Locked and Clean indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining will also be displayed.
4. When the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools, the Door Locked and Clean indicator lights will turn off.
5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To exit the Self-Cleaning cycle before completed, press CANCEL. The door will unlock once the oven cools.

Cleaning Method:
To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.

   Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.
2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of afresh ® Cooktop Cleaner to the affected areas. ■ Rub affresh® Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.
   ■ Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.

•  Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or burned-on stains.
