Important Safety Instructions
Installation Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it
for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified techni­cian. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instruc­tions for details.
WARNING
Read all instructions before using this appliance. If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result caus­ing property damage, personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, take these precautions:
English 1
Safety
All ranges can tip. Injury to persons could result. Install anti-tip device pack­aged with range. See installation instructions.
Figure 1: Tipping Precautions
Intended Use Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. For
example, never use the appliance for warming or heating the room. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood prod­ucts in this appliance. This type of range is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. The use of corro­sive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.
This range is for residential use only. It is not approved for outdoor use.
Cooking Safety Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does
not hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Avoid reaching or leaning over the appliance. Be aware that certain clothing and hair sprays may contain flammable chemicals that could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.
Do not touch the cooking area(s) or the immediate surrounding area(s) while using the range or while it is cooling. Areas adjacent to the burners, oven and warming drawer may become hot enough to cause burns and my be hot even though they are off. Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materi­als come in contact with a cooking area until it has cooled.
Exercise caution when opening the oven or warming drawer. Standing to the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers either in the oven or the warming drawer. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Leave the hood ventilator on when flambéing food.
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. Heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting, to avoid bubbling and splatter. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Never leave the cooktop unattended. Boilovers can cause smoke and possi­bly damage the cooktop.
English 2
Safety
Cookware Safety Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or
turning food.
Use only utensils that are appropriate for ceramic cooktop use on the cook­top. Use proper pan size. (See Cookware Selection Guide for further details). Select utensils with flat bottoms that cover the entire surface unit. This will reduce risk of fire and also increase efficiency.
Utensils not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja­cent work areas, burners or the edge of the cooktop.
Cleaning Safety General Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the range while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface.
Self-Cleaning Safety
Confirm that the door locks and will not open once the door lock icon appears. If the door does not lock, press OFF and do not run Self-Clean. Phone 800­944-2904 for service.
During a normal Self Clean cycle, the door does not lock at the beginning of the cycle; However, it does lock prior to reaching the high self clean tempera­tures. In a Delayed Self-Clean cycle, the door locks immediately.
Do not clean the oven gasket. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, move or remove the oven gasket.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings (such as aluminum foil) of any kind in or around any part of the oven.
Clean only oven parts listed in this manual.
Remove the broiler pan, oven racks, oven probe and other utensils and wipe out excess soft spillage before self-cleaning the oven.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.
Condition of Unit Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly or if it has been dam-
aged until an authorized servicer has examined it.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may cre­ate a risk of electric shock.
Work Space / Environment Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, or sit on any part of the oven, nor to hang on the oven door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the range, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance or to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
Items of interest to children should not be stored in the range, in cabinets above the range or on the backsplash of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Safety
Service and Repair Safety Service should only be performed by an authorized service technician who
has undergone training for this specific type of unit. This is a high-tech appli­ance. Unauthorized service technicians may not be familiar with the sophisti­cated workings of this appliance, and may therefore cause damage to the unit or create a hazard. Contact the nearest authorized service center for exami­nation, repair or adjustment.
Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recom­mended by an authorized service technician.
Maintenance Safety Keep oven and ventilating hood free from grease build up. Clean frequently.
In Case of Fire In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immedi-
ately to extinguish flames.
Do not use water or a wet rag or towel on a grease fire. Smother fire with bak­ing soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type (ABC) extinguisher.
In the event of a grease fire, smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the elements. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.
Smother flames from other types of food fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan. You may be burned.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed. Turn off oven and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.
Fire Extinguishers Use an extinguisher only if:
You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act
The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small amounts of form­aldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2. Providing good ventilation during / immediately after self cleaning the oven.
3. Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

Operation - Cooktop

About the Cooktop

Cooktop Features

Radiant Element The radiant element uses a wire ribbon located under the ceramic glass surface to
provide the heat for cooking. The radiant element will cycle on and off by design (see Temperature Limiter).
Dual Element The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating
area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be selected for use, depending on the size of cookware.
Retained Heat The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have
been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving tempera­tures for a short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
English 9
Operation - Cooktop
Temperature Limiter Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking sur-
face from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting.
Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual:
The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to a warped or uneven base).
The pan is too small for the element.
The pan has boiled dry.
The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.
Hot Surface Indicator The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too
hot to touch. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Operation CAUTION

Foods packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the glass ceramic surface for cooking. Aluminum foil can melt and cause permanent damage.
Plastic, paper and cloth can melt or burn when in contact with a hot surface. Do not let these items come in contact with the hot ceramic surface.
Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can permanently damage the pan, the element and the cooktop glass.

Cooktop Cooking Guide Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed

because the actual setting depends on:
type and quality of pan (See “Selecting Cookware”),
type, quantity and temperature of the food,
element used and
the cook’s preference.
The Heat Settings recommended are based on a 240 volt power source. If your cooktop is connected to 208 volts, the same heat settings apply but foods may take a little longer to finish cooking.
English 12
Table 2: Cooking Guide
Uses Heat Settings
Bringing water to boil 9 - High
Pan frying, sautéing, browning meat, deep fat frying 6-8 - Med-High
Most frying, eggs, pancakes, slow boil 4-5 - Med
Simmering, finish cooking, covered foods, steaming 2-3 - Med Low
Melting butter and chocolate 1 - Low
Operation - Cooktop

Cooktop Tips - Bridge Element (some models)

Use the front and bridge elements without the back element for medium sized griddles and oval pots.
For even heat distribution when using all three elements, start with the back element at a slightly higher setting than the front and bridge elements. Observe cooking performance and adjust accordingly.
Set the back element at a different temperature than the front and bridge ele­ments to keep prepared food warm or to prepare two different foods at one time.

Cookware Selection Guide

Cookware Characteristics The choice of pans directly affects the cooking speed and uniformity. For best
results select pans with flat bases. When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should rest evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking). Flat, medium-to­heavy-weight pans are best.
To Test the Flatness of Your Pans Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place a
ruler flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom of the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be flush against each other.
Another simple test to determine even heat distri­bution across the cookware bottom is to place 1” (25.4 mm) of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the location of the bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area.
Matching Diameters – The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used. Pans may overhang the element area by 1" (25.4 mm) all around.
Tight Fitting Lids – A lid shortens cooking time and water boils faster by holding the heat inside the pan.
Cookware Tips Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or convex) warped or
dented bottoms should be avoided. See drawings below.
Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being used is clean and dry.
Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.
Do not slide metal pots across the cooktop. Pans may leave marks which need to be removed immediately. See Care and Cleaning Section.
Do not use glass pans as they may scratch the surface.
Specialty Pans Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath
canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described above. Use only a flat-bottomed wok. Never place a support ring, such as a wok ring or trivet, on the cooking surface.

more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½” of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. To allow for best baking results stagger pans as shown in the graphic below.
Pan placement on one rack
Baking Pans Here are some tips for cooking with baking pans:
Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore reduce oven temperature 25°F when baking in glass.
Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate browning.
Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing temperature 25° F when using
English 20
Pan placement on two racks
Figure 12: Pan Placement
Operation - Oven
these pans. Follow manufacturer recommendations. Use glass or dark metal pans for pies.
Insulated baking pans may increase the recommended baking time.
Preheating the Oven Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. Preheating is necessary for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Setting a higher tempera­ture does not shorten preheat time. Place oven racks in proper position before preheating. A beep will confirm that oven is preheated and selected oven temper­ature will be displayed.

Oven Cooking Modes

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the
Bake and Warm
upper and lower element cycle to maintain the oven temperature. Bake mode can be used to prepare foods like pastries and casseroles as well as to roast meats. In Warming mode, the oven uses the upper and lower element to main­tain low temperature to keep food at serving tem­perature.
Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot until ready to serve.
Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220° F. Default temperature is 170°.
Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
Convection baking uses some heat from the top
Convection Bake
and a lot from the bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan. The Con­vection Bake mode is well-suited for baking large quantities of food on multiple racks. It can be used to prepare cookies, pies, cupcakes, past­ries, breads, snack foods and appetizers among other items. The benefits of Convection Baking include: .
Slight decrease in cooking time
Three rack cooking (more even browning)
Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)
Cook more items at once
Table 4: Convection Baking Chart
CAUTION
When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:
Do not use the Warm Mode to heat cold food.
Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recom­mends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer.
DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.

*The convection bake temperature is 25°F less than recommended on packages or recipes. The tempera­ture in this chart has been reduced 25°F. **This chart is a guide. Actual times depend on the mixes or recipes baked. Follow recipe or package directions and reduce temperature appropriately.
For Best Results:
Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to Convection Baking chart.
Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.
Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack.
Broil
Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper element. The Broil mode is best suited to cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1” or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed.
The benefits of Broiling include:
Fast and efficient cooking
Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids
Browning as the food cooks
For Best Results:
Preheat oven 3-4 minutes
Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick
Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking
Use the broil pan and grid included with your range
Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering
Turn meats once halfway through the recommended cooking time (see Broil Chart for examples).
When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); they can’t tolerate the high temperature.

Rich, golden browning
For Best Results:
Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease by as much as 25%. Refer to Convection Roast Chart for examples.
Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range for roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also be used.
Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.
Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven.

Getting the Most Out of Your Warming Drawer

General Tips Refer to the Warming Drawer Chart for recommended settings.

To keep several different foods hot, set the temperature for the food needing the highest setting.
Place items needing the highest setting toward the side of the drawer and items needing less heat on the rack or in the center of the drawer bottom.
Food should be at serving temperature (above 140° F) before being placed in the warming drawer. DO NOT use to heat cold food other than crisping crack­ers, chips, and dry cereal, or warming dishes or plates.
The warming drawer can be used with or without a rack. Preheat with rack in place if using this arrangement. It fits side to side.
Preheat empty serving dish while preheating drawer if desired.
Place cooked, hot food in warming drawer in its original cooking container or in a heat-safe serving dish.
Aluminum foil may be used to cover food; However DO NOT line the warming drawer with aluminum foil.
Do not use the warming drawer for storage.

Crisping Stale Items Place food in low sided dishes or pans.

Preheat on Low.
Check crispness after 45 minutes. Add time as needed.

Precautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the Surface
Before Use Care Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small
Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning Creme will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.
The ceramic glass cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.
Never cook food directly on the glass.
Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on glass surface.
Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.
Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface; it may scratch the glass.
Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.
amount of Cooktop Cleaning Creme (packaged with range) on a daily basis. This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spat­ters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counter level surface between uses.
CAUTION
Do not use any cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the sur­face.
Daily Cleaning Techniques 1. Clean the surface when completely cool with the Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
Exception: Remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products and milk imme-
diately with the razor blade scraper (See Cooktop Care Chart, next page).
2. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse.
3. Apply a small amount of the Cooktop Cleaning Creme. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.
