9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9 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.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately 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 COOKTOP ELEMENTS OR AREAS
NEAR COOKTOP ELEMENTS - Cooktop elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas
near cooktop elements may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials
contact cooktop elements or areas near them 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 materials
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, surfaces 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. Buildup 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’).
• 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

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9 WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing
so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance
for storage.
9 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.
• 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
• When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the responsibility 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 appliance, 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.
9 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
9 WARNING
State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
This product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
• IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: 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 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.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Cookware 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 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.
Food Safety
• CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these
guidelines:
1) DO NOT use a warming drawer to heat cold food (exception: it is safe to use the drawer to crisp crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates.
2) Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140° F or warmer.
3) DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
9 WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
When cooking with a bain-marie, the cooktop and
cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The
cooking vessel in the bain-marie must not come in
direct contact with the bottom of the pot filled with
water. Use only heat-resistant cookware.
9 WARNING
DANGER OF INJURY
Cookware may jump upward due to fluid trapped
between the cookware bottom and cooking zone.
Always keep cooking zone and cookware bottom
dry.

Range Features
Radiant Elements
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).
English 6
Single Element
Hot Surface Indicator
The single element consists of only one radiant element in
the heating area. The unit temperature can be adjusted
from Hi to Lo to provide the desired cooking performance.
Double Element (some models)
The dual element consists of two (a small and a large) radiant element within the same heating area. Either the small
element, or both elements may be selected for use.
Triple Element (some models)
The triple element consists of three (small, medium and
large) radiant ribbon elements 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.
Power Element (some models)
This element is used for faster time to boil and low simmer,
all in one element. There are two elements that are the full
size of the cooking zone.
Warming Zone
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 Features
Cooling Fan
The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can
be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it
is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after
the oven is off.
Convection Fan
The convection fan operates during any convection mode.
When the oven is operating 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 beginning of the mode.
Note: On some models, the convection fan also runs
during preheat for the bake mode.
The warming element consists of one radiant element. The
temperature is preset to the warming temperature set by
the oven control panel.
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.
Temperature Limiter
Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect
the glass cooking surface 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.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a
result the element is protected from damage and spills.
Note:
Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located at the top back of the range.
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 hot when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent
as it is important for air circulation.
9 CAUTION
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line
any part of an appliance, especially the oven
bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
Automatic Shutoff
The oven will automatically shut off after 24 hours.
Self-Cleaning
The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates
the manual labor involved with cleaning your oven.

English 20
Getting the Most Out of Your Cooktop
Cooktop Cooking Guide
Boiling Water
Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental
conditions. Try the following 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” in the next column for details).
• Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavyweight 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.
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-heavyweight 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/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.
• 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.
Getting the Most Out of Your Oven
General Tips
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.
Rack Position
Rack positions
are numbered
from 1 to 6, from
bottom to top.
Consult the food
cooking charts at
the back of this
manual for
recommended
rack positions.
The rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the
top rack (position 6). Use rack positions 1 through 6 only.
DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven
rack.
Rack Position Best For
6 (highest
usable position)
5 toasting bread, broiling most meats,
4 thicker meats
3 broiling poultry, most baked goods on
2 small roasts or poultry, bundt cakes,
1 (lowest
position)
hamburgers, steaks
melting cheese
a cookie sheet or baking pan using a
single rack, includes frozen
convenience foods, cakes,
casseroles, frozen pizza
pies, breads
large roasts, turkey, angel food cake
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part
of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing
these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Preheating the Oven
• Place oven racks in desired position before heating the
oven.
• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection
Bake, Convection Multi Rack, Pizza, Broil, Convection
Broil, and Warm modes.
• Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and
Proof modes.
• Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe
ingredients or food items.
• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat
time.
• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as
quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and
reduction of oven temperature.
• Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating time.
Preheat Reminders
Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the
market using a concealed bake element. The lower
element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that
the preheat time is different than your previous oven that
had an exposed element on the bottom.
• Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no
cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom
of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected
from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is
easy.
• Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry,
casseroles and some frozen foods.
• Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply
to your house is less than 240 volts.
• Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer
preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F
is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not
preheat for more than 5 minutes.
English 22
For Best Results
Temperature Range (°F) by Cooking Mode
• Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid
temperature reduction.
• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the
oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
• Use the Kitchen Timer to keep track of cooking times.
Baking Pans and Dishes
• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven
temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes.
• Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.
• Use pans that provide the desired browning. For
tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized
or shiny metal bakeware.
• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will
absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing the
temperature 25° F when using this type of pan. Follow
manufacturers' recommendations.
• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the
length of cooking time.
• Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.
• Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven
during cooking as this could change the cooking
performance. Store pans outside the oven.

Both the upper and lower elements
%
cycle to maintain the oven
temperature.
Opening the Oven Door
• Open and close the appliance door only by holding the
door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any
other parts of the door.
High Altitude Baking
• When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking
times will vary.
• For accurate information, write the Extension Service,
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado
80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify
which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer:
general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
Condensation
• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to
evaporate from the food during any cooking process.
The amount depends on the moisture content of the
food. The moisture may condense on any surface
cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control
panel.
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food
items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or
package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Tips
• When using the Bake mode, preheat the oven if the
recipe recommends it.
• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of
the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings
will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware
will lengthen the cook time for most foods.

Auto Convection Conversion
Convection Multi-Rack
Convection Bake and Convection Multi-Rack modes
require a 25° F reduction in temperature. Auto Convection
Conversion reduces the temperature you enter
automatically. Simply enter the package or recipe
temperature when setting the mode. The control calculates
the correct temperature and it is shown in the display.
• The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned
on to allow for automatic temperature adjustments.
See “Auto Convection Conversion” in the “Settings”
section for details
Convection Bake
Convection Bake is similar to Bake.

The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar
cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat,
yielding a better crust on baked items.
The benefits of Convection Bake include:
• Slight decrease in cook time.
• Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).
Tips
• Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as cookie
sheet without sides.
• For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5.
• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1”
to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so

The Convection Multi-rack mode is well suited for cooking
individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits.
It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the
same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks
simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases
slightly.
The benefits of Convection Multi-Rack include:
• Even browning.
• Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one
time.
Tips
• Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F if Auto Convection
Conversion is not activated.
• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as
cookie sheets without sides.

before minimum package time.
• When baking a frozen pizza:
For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.
For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
• When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil
and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to
prevent crust formation.
• Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
• If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally
with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the
pan.
• If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough
with a fork before baking.

• If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for
a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer
crust.
• Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s
recommendations while the oven is preheating.
• Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the
center of the rack.
• Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
• The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza
mode.

Roast is best suited for meat and poultry and less tender
cuts of meat.
Tips:
• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish
with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
• For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids such as water,
juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
• Roasting bags and using a lid are suitable for use in
this mode.

The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing
tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for
roasting vegetables.
The benefits of Convection Roast include:

fan.
• Check doneness early, since roasting time may
decrease. Refer to the Meat/Poultry cooking chart for
examples.
• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
• Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow,
uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
termperature 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 for 10 to 15 minutes
after removing it from the oven.
• Refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart for
recommended rack positions.
Broil
(
The Broil mode is best suited for 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.
Tips:
• Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
• Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.
• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent
sticking.
• Use a broil pan and grid, or a deep pan with a metal
rack, for broiling.
• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
• Turn meats (other than fish) once during the
recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be
turned.
• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass
ceramic dishes such as CorningWare ®.
• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate
the high temperature.
• For broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking
Chart.
Broil uses intense heat radiated from
the upper element.
