,_ Safety

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. EXERCISE CAUTION TO PREVENT BURNS. If

the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN--You may be burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet rags 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) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

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

• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

• Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.

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

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.

English 3

,_, Safety

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flamb6ing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub- bling 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.

• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

WARNING:

Use thisapplianceonlyforitsintended use as described inthismanual. NEVER use thisapplianceas a space

heater to heat

carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

or warm the room. Doing so may result in

WARNING:

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as

aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven

and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool. Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.

Child Safety

English 4

• 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 back- splash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items

could be seriously injured.

_, Safety

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

Food Safety

• Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.

• 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 sur- face 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 adja- cent 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 remov-

able.

• CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines:

Radiant Element

Dual Element

Triple Element The triple element consists of three (small, medium and large) radiant ribbon ele-

Bridge Element (some models)

Retained Heat

Temperature Limiter

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hot Surface Indicator

Oven Racks

Flat Oven Racks

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.

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.

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

The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and not tilt.

CAUTION

To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm.If a rack must

be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heat- ing elements.

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 fiat base (See "Cookware Selection Guide" on page 24 for details).

• Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).

English 23

GettingtheMostOutofYourAppliance

• 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. Ifyour 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)

Cookware Selection Guide

Cookware Characteristics

To Test the Flatness of Your Pans

• Use the bridge elements with only one single element for medium sized grid- dles 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 dif- ferent heat level than the front and bridge elements to keep prepared food warm or to prepare two different foods at one time.

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.

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.

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.

• 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

• RACK POSITION 5- broiling most meats, toasting bread

• RACK POSITION 4 - broiling thicker meats

• RACK POSITION 3 - most baked goods when baking on one rack, such as on cookie sheet or baking pan, cakes, frozen foods, biscuits, brownies,

muffins

• 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

Pan Placement

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.

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 1½" 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.

Baking Pans

Preheating the Oven

The Probe (some models)

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.

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 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.

English 26

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

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

Bake, Proof and Warm

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

fF [[[[: ..........

Convection Bake

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 recom- mends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer.

• DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.

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

third element behind the backwall. The main dif- ference 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.
