Oven Function Selector Knob
There are two functions on the oven selector: BAKE or BROIL. Rotate the knob clockwise to select either "BAKE" or "BROIL". When finished, rotate the knob to the "OFF" position.
- "BAKE" uses the bottom heat element only, which is hidden underneath the oven bottom. This makes the bottom of the oven interior easier to clean and provides an even heat when baking.
- "BROIL" uses the upper heating element only to provide high heat projected downwards to cook your food. It is recommended that a two-piece broiler pan is used when broiling (sold separately).
Oven Light
Your Marathon deluxe 24" range is equipped with an automatic oven light which will turn on and stay on automatically when using the "BAKE" or "BROIL" functions. The oven light will turn off automatically when the oven function selector knob is set to the "OFF" position.
To turn the light on without using the oven, simply turn the Oven Function Selector knob to BAKE or BROIL, but DO NOT turn on the oven thermostat. The oven thermostat must be in the off temperature.
Marathon LED Clock & Timer
Your Marathon smooth top range features a white LED clock and minute timer for your added convenience.

Press the clock symbol ⏰. You will then hear a "beep" and the LED display will start flashing. Use the up and down arrows ▲▼ to set the time of day. Once finished, press the clock button again, and you will hear another "beep" which sets the clock. During a power outage, the clock may need to be reset depending on how long the power outage was.
Timer
Press the timer button ⏱️. You will hear a "beep" and the LED timer indicator and display will flash. Use the up and down arrows ▲▼ to set the timer length. Once finished, press the timer button again, and you will hear another "beep" which starts the timer. The LED indicator will stay illuminated. The timer will count down and when time is done, the timer will "beep" three times quickly, and continue "beeping" intermittently until canceled. To cancel, press the timer button once. To switch back and forth between the clock or timer when the timer is active, simply press the clock or timer icon. The timer will continue to count down until complete.
Please note, the clock or timer does not control the temperature of the oven.
Using the Oven
Oven Racks
The oven racks (2) are adjustable and are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the rack supporters, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them. (Diagram of rack with stop-lock is present)
When placing cookware on the rack, pull the rack out to the bump on the rack support. Place the cookware on the rack, then slide the rack back into the oven. To remove the rack from the oven, pull it towards you, tilt the front end upward and pull it out.
Oven Thermostat
This sets the cooking temperature. Rotate the oven thermostat knob clockwise until the required temperature is reached (From WARM/200°F to 500°F). To switch off the oven, turn the thermostat control to the "OFF" setting position and turn the Oven function selector to "OFF". (Diagram of thermostat dial is present)
Setting the Temperature
Once you have selected either "BAKE" or "BROIL" using the oven function selector, rotate and adjust the oven thermostat dial clockwise to your desired temperature.

Cooking Mode
"BAKE"
For best baking results, use the following steps:
- Place the rack in the correct position, before turning the oven to the "BAKE" setting.
- Turn the oven function selector knob to the “BAKE” position.
- Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired temperature and allow oven to pre-heat. The oven temperature light will illuminate while pre-heating, then the light will turn off when the desired temperature is reached. For best baking results, wait until the oven has fully preheated before inserting food.
- Check food at minimum time on the recipe to see if food has been cooked to your preference. Cook longer if necessary.
- When baking is completed, turn the function selector knob and thermostat control knob to the "OFF" position, open door fully and remove the food.
For best cooking results, always remember that hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven so that even heat reaches all parts of the oven. Therefore, place the pans in the center of the oven and allow at least 2" space between pan and the surface of the cavity.
Always remember that when the oven is hot, outside surfaces of the range get hot.
"BROIL"
Your Marathon deluxe 24" range has the unique feature of variable "BROIL" heat providing increased flexibility when broiling.
When broiling, only the upper element is switched “ON”. Use with the oven door closed and note that the thermostat can be set from 200 to 500°F even on the “BROIL” setting.
For best broiling results, use the following steps:
- Place the meat on the broil grid in a broiler pan (sold separately) - Always use a slotted or angled broil pan so that the fat drips into the broiler pan, otherwise the juices may catch on fire. Do not broil without using the broiler pan.
- Position the broiler pan on the second rack position from the top.
- Turn the oven function selector knob to the “BROIL” position.
- Turn the oven thermostat control knob to the desired broil temperature.
- The upper heat element will preheat and cycle "ON" and "OFF" to maintain the selected temperature. For best broiling results, wait until the broiler has fully preheated and the oven thermostat light has turned off. Turn food over about halfway through the broiling time.
- Always broil with the oven door closed.
- When broiling is completed, turn the oven function selector knob and thermostat control knob to the "OFF" position, open door fully and remove the food.
*** WARNING ***
CAUTION: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach and use the oven handle at all times.
IMPORTANT: Always use suitable protective gloves when inserting/removing the broiler pan, shelves, pans, and other cooking utensils from the oven.
Using the Schott Ceran® Smooth Top
Your Marathon electric range is engineered with two fast heating large radiant elements (8") and two small radiant elements (6").
To operate the cooktop surface elements, select the surface element you would like to use and simply push in and turn the knob to the desired heat setting between "MIN" and "MAX". The surface element controls are variable based on your cooking needs. To switch the surface element "OFF", simply turn the corresponding surface element control to the "OFF" setting position.
For your safety, the surface elements have an indicator light that will illuminate when one of the elements is in use. ?
IMPORTANT: To switch on, always push and turn the control knob slightly.
WARNING! After use, the Schott Ceran® cooktop surface may be hot. Caution must be taken at all times as serious injury or fire may result. KEEP CHILDREN OUT OF REACH OF THE COOKTOP SURFACE AND OVEN DOOR AT ALL TIMES.
Cookware Tips
The physical characteristics of pots and pans influence the performance of any cooking systems. Therefore, emphasis must be placed on the importance of using proper cookware.
- Use cooking vessels with flat bottoms and tight fitting lids to conserve energy and shorten cooking times.
- Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop. Manufacturers suggest using low to medium heat selections when using glass cookware.
- Pan size should match the element size. A slightly larger pan covers the entire element and prevents spill overs from contacting the heat surface and burning in. Using a smaller pan than the element is a waste of energy.
- To avoid spattering and to maximize efficiency, pan bottoms should be clean and dry before coming in contact with the elements.
- Wipe spills off the elements with a damp cloth as soon as they cool to cut down on clean-up time. Be sure the surface elements or oven controls are "OFF".
- If a surface element stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils could result in damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring, and surrounding areas.
- Never leave an empty pot or pan, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The utensil could overheat and damage the utensil or surface unit. Always be sure that all control knobs are turned to "OFF" and the indicator lights are "OFF".
WARNING: Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the range, to avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach your cookware when in use.
Care and Maintenance
General Information
- CAUTION: Before any operation of cleaning and maintenance, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply.
- It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially for cleaning the enameled parts.
- Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
- Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
Cleaning Your Marathon Schott Ceran® Range
Your Marathon deluxe 24" range with Schott Ceran smooth top is engineered for years of cooking enjoyment but must also be cleaned regularly to ensure cooking performance.
