About surface cooking

BEFORE COOKING

CAUTION • Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

•Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.

•Turn the surface units on only after placing the cookware.

•Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and damage it.

DURING COOKING

CAUTION • Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the range when it is in use. The hot air from the vent could melt plastics or ignite flammable items.

•Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.

•Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

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

•Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

•Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

•Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.

AFTER COOKING

CAUTION • Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.

•The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled down sufficiently.

•Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.

•If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the items are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

About the radiant surface elements

The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

10_ Surface cooking

Location of the radiant surface elements and controls

The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface elements on the cooktop as shown below.

Hot surface indicator

• Comes on when the unit is turned on or hot to the touch.

• Stays on even after the unit is turned off.

• Glows until the unit is cooled to approximately 150°F.

Cooking areas

•The cooking areas on your range are identifi ed by permanent circles on the glass cooking surface. For the most effi cient cooking, fi t the pan size to the element size.

•Pans should not extend more than ½” to 1” beyond the cooking area.

•When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooking surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even at high settings.

•For more information on selecting proper types of cookware, refer to the section “Using the proper cookware” on page 14.

Surface cooking _1

USING THE PROPER COOKWARE

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly.

Check for fl atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

CORRECT

INCORRECT

Flat bottom and straight sides.

•Tight fi tting lids.

•Weight of handle does not tilt pan.

•Pan is well balanced.

•Pan size matches the amount of food to be prepared

and the size of the surface element.

•Made of a material that conducts heat well.

•Always match pot diameter to element surface diameter.

Curved and warped pan bottoms.

Pan overhangs element by more than one-half inch.

Pan is smaller than element.

Heavy handle tilts pan.

CHOOSING THE PROPER COOKWARE

What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.

•ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.). If aluminum pans are slid across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

•COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see above).

•STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

•CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

•ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelainenamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

•GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

1_ Surface cooking

Protecting the smoothtop surface

Cleaning

•Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time.

•Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

•If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe the spill with a clean dry towel.

•Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

•Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads, which will scratch the cooktop.

•Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on a glass-ceramic surface.

Preventing marks and scratches

•Do not use glass cookware. They may scratch the cooktop.

•Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan. These items can mark or scratch the cooktop.

•Make sure the cooktop and the pan bottom are clean.

•Do not slide metal pans across the cooktop.

Preventing stains

•Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain, which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

•Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.

Preventing other damage

•Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately.

•Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the cooktop and the pan.

•Do not cook food directly on the cooktop without the proper cookware.

BROILING

Broil stop position

Broil stop position

Using the broil pan

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door will stay open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

The broil pan and the insert allow grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not use the pan without the insert.

• Do not cover the insert with foil; the exposed grease could ignite.

These are not supplied with the range.

Should an oven fi re occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fi re continues,

CAUTION throw baking soda on the fi re or use a foam-type fi re extinguisher. Do not put water or

fl our on the fi re. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fi re to spread and cause personal injury.

How to set the oven for broiling

1. Select the broil setting you want.

Press the bROIL pad once for HI or twice for LO.

Use LO to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.

2. Start the broiling function. Press the SET/START pad.

Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the other side.

. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad once you have fi nished cooking or if you want to cancel broiling.

SELF-CLEANING

A self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a fi nely powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

•	During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to touch.
CAUTION	Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.

•The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the selfcleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

•Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will result in poor heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

•Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle is complete. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERy HOT.

Before a self-cleaning cycle
Fig. 1		•	We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window
			or using a ventilation fan or hood during the self-cleaning

		•	Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil pan insert, all

		•	Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. (Fig. 1)
		•	The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they
