Fire Safety	• Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,
	especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners
	may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
	• If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door closed.
	Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.
	• 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. Never use
	the appliance for storage.
	• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
	hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
	• If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flamma-
	ble materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners
	or elements. They could catch on fire.
	• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
	• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking
	and greasy spillovers may ignite.
	• WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

English 1

Safety

1) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

2) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

3) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

4) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

• WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: 1) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray,

then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

2) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.

3) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

	2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
	3) The fire department is being called.
	4) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
	• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop
	fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
Burn Prevention	• 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, potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units
	or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
	areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
	• 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, potholders, or other flammable materi-
	als contact heating elements or interior surfaces of 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, sur-
	faces near these openings and oven doors.
	• Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the
	door (or drawer) 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. 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 let potholder touch hot heating elements.
	Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
	• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e.
	Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
English 2

Safety

• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. 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.

• 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 interior surface of the drawer while it is in use. The interior of the
	drawer could become hot enough to cause burns. Allow drawer and rack (if
	equipped) to cool before handling.
	• WARNING: To prevent burns, do not remove drawer while hot. Be sure
	drawer is empty before removing.
Child Safety	• When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal respon-
	sibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
	safe practices by qualified persons.
	• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appli-
	ance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
	the appliance, 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 play in its
	vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
	• CAUTION - Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance,
	in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an
	appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety	• IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic
	Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of sub-
	stances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
	tive 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 Monox-
	ide.The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small amounts
	of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists form-
	aldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential
	cause of reproductive toxicity.Exposure to these substances can be mini-
	mized by:
	1) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
	2) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self cleaning the
	oven.
	3) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
	• Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
	fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns
	from steam.
	• When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door
	does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
	• 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.
	• Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety	• Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
	• Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using cooking or roasting bags.

English 3

Safety

•Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.

•Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

•Cookware not approved for use with glass ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for glass ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable). See Cookware Selection Guide for further details.

•Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

•CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if in direct contact with the drawer or a hot utensil. If it melts onto the drawer, it may not be removable.

Proper Installation and Maintenance • WARNING: When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages.

•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 a properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.

•All ranges can tip. Injury to persons could result. Install anti-tip device packaged with range. Verify that the anti-tip devices are engaged. See installation instructions.

Figure 1: Tipping Precautions

•This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

•Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

•Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.

•Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may create a risk of electric shock.

•Do not obstruct oven vents.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a factory authorized service center.

a. Depending on the model, your appliance has either a storage drawer or a warming drawer.

Radiant Element	The radiant element uses a wire ribbon located under the glass ceramic 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, in order to better match the size of cookware.
Triple Element	The triple element consists of three (small, medium and large) radiant ribbon ele-
	ments within the same heating area. Either the small element, the small and
	medium element or all three elements may be selected for use, in order to better
	match the size of cookware.
Bridge Element (some models)	The bridge element joins the front single element and the back single element to
	create one long oblong element. It is designed for use with large cookware such
	as long griddles and roasters.
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 tempera-
	tures 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.
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.
Oven Racks	Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combina-
	tions:
	• Three flat racks
	• Two flat racks and one full extension rack
	• Two flat racks and one half rack
Flat Oven Racks	The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely out
	of the oven and not tilt.

side. A second shorter item can then be placed on the half rack (above the first shorter item). This allows for easier access to all items and better utilization of the oven cavity.

Tip: The removable section can also be used outside of the oven as a trivet or cooling rack.

	Figure 7: Half Oven Rack
Oven Bottom	Do not place food directly on oven bottom. Do not use aluminum foil or protective
	liners to line any part of an appliance, especially surface unit drip bowls or oven
	bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Oven Vent	Free-standing Models:
	The oven vent is located below the display above the rear left cooktop element. It
	is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect on
	the backguard and cooktop. This area may become hot when the oven is in use.
	Do not block the vent as it is important for air circulation.
	Slide-in Models:
	The oven vent is located above the oven door handle. Warm air may be released
	from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping
	from the vent and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm
	when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent as it is important for air circulation.
Automatic Shutoff	The oven will automatically shut off after 12 hours (24 hours if the time format is
	set for 24 hour in the Select Function section).
Self-Cleaning	The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
	involved with cleaning your oven.
Indicators and Other Features	Beep - Signals that more information must be entered or confirms the receipt of
	an entry. A Beep also signals the end of a program or an oven error.
	End-of-Cycle Indicator - To indicate when a mode is finished, 3 consecutive
	beeps will sound.
	Default Settings - The cooking modes automatically select the default tempera-
	ture. These can be changed when a different one is needed.
	Flashing Symbol or Number - Signals an incomplete setting and calls for
	another step or START to be pressed.
	F Number Codes -These codes display when there is a problem with the range.

Getting Started

Cooling Fan (Slide-in models only) The cooling fan runs during all oven modes. It may run during heavy cooktop use as well. You may hear it running and you may feel warm air as it is released from the oven vent. This is normal.

	Convection Fan	The convection fan operates during any convection mode. When the oven is oper-
		ating in the convection mode, the fan will turn off automatically when the door is
		opened. The convection fan does run during self-clean, although not at the begin-
		ning of the mode.
		Note: On some models, the convection fan also runs during preheat for the bake
		mode.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

Getting the Most Out of Your Cooktop

Cooktop Cooking Guide

Boiling Water	Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the fol-
	lowing tips to decrease boil time:
	•	Use a lid.
	• Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of
		the element.
	• Select a pan with a flat base (See “Cookware Selection Guide” on page 23 for
		details).
	• Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).
	• Make sure that the pan is positioned so that the entire base is in contact with
		the element.
	• Start with water that is already warm.
	• Boil the smallest amount of water necessary. Smaller volumes will boil faster
		than larger volumes.
Recommended Settings	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.

Bridge Element Tips (some models) • Use the bridge elements with only one single 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.

• When using a pan that spans all three elements, set the back element at a different heat level 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

Pan selection directly affects 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-to-heavy-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 distri-

bution 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/boiling time by holding heat inside the

pot.

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.

English 23

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

•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.

Rack Position

	• RACK POSITION 6 (highest position) – melting cheese, broiling thin foods
6	• RACK POSITION 5 – broiling most meats, toasting bread
5	• RACK POSITION 4 – broiling thicker meats
4	• RACK POSITION 3 – most baked goods when baking on one rack, such as
3	on cookie sheet or baking pan, cakes, frozen foods, biscuits, brownies,
2	muffins
1	• RACK POSITION 2 – Used for pies, casseroles, breads, bundt or pound
	cakes, small roasts or poultry.
	• RACK POSITION 1 (lowest position) – Use for angel food cake, large
	roasts, turkey.
	Figure 15: Rack Positions
Multiple Rack Cooking	When using multiple racks, follow the placement recommendations below.
	• Two rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5.
	• Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1, 3 and 6. The rack in posi-
	tion 3 can be extension rack if desired.
Pan Placement	Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking
	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.

	Figure 16: Pan Placement
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
	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 tempera-
	ture does not shorten preheat time. Place oven racks in proper position before
	preheating. A beep will confirm that oven is preheated and selected oven temper-
	ature will be displayed.
	Note: Preheating the oven is not recommended when using the probe (some
	models). A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect the probe to the
	receptacle and to insert it into the meat.
The Probe (some models)	• The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will continue to cook the meat
	after the oven has shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from the oven as
	soon as the control beeps.
	• Since meat continues to cook after being removed from the oven, set the
	internal (probe) temperature 5 - 10 degrees below the desired final internal
	temperature (exception: poultry). Allow standing time (10 -20 minutes) before
	carving the meat.
	• Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and removing. Use a
	potholder to remove since the probe becomes hot.
	• Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being used.
	• The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For best results, completely
	thaw meats before using the probe.

Inserting the Probe

•For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part and do not touch bone, fat, or gristle.

•For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the probe in the thickest part of the inner thigh.

•For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip should be located in the center of the thickest part of the food.

Oven Cooking Modes

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the Bake, Proof 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.

Note: Depending on the model, you may hear the convection fan while the oven is preheating for the bake mode. This is normal.

In the Proofing mode, the oven will use the upper and lower element to maintain a low temperature to proof bread.

•Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.

•The Proofing mode temperatures are 85° to 110° F. The default temperature is 100° F.

•Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.

•Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

In Warming mode, the upper and lower elements maintain a low temperature in the oven cavity in order 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.

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.

Convection baking is similar to baking. Heat Convection Bake comes from the lower heating element and a

third element behind the backwall. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven 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)

•Ability to cook more items at once

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

Automatic Convection Conversion In the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced 25° F from the package or recipe temperature. Simply enter the package or recipe temperature when setting the mode and the range calculates the correct temperature.

The Automatic Convection Conversion feature can be turned off to allow for manual temperature adjustment. See “Turn Automatic Convection Conversion ON or OFF” on page 14 for details

When the Automatic Convection Conversion feature is activated, the display will read AUTO CONV BAKE. When the feature is turned off, it will read CONV BAKE.

Broil

Table 5: Broiling Chart

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. Do not preheat for more than 5 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.

Convection Broil (some models)

Table 6: Convection Broiling Chart

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan. The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is typically not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods.

Always convection broil with the door closed. In

addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster than standard Broiling.

Note: The only heat setting for the Convection Broil mode is High.

For Best Results:

•Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat more that 5 minutes.

•Meats should be at least 1 1/2” thick.

•Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (See Convection Broil Chart for examples).

•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.

•Salt after cooking.
