9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9WARNING
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.
9WARNING
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.
9CAUTION
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
9WARNING
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.
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.
•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.
9WARNING
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.
9WARNING
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
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 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.
English 7
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 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.
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.
9CAUTION
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.
Indicators and Other Features
Default Settings - The cooking modes automatically select the default temperature. These can be changed when a different one is needed.
E Number Codes -These codes display when there is a problem with the range.
Standby Mode
Standby mode means that the oven has power but no cooking mode or timer is running.

Operation
About the Oven
Your new oven combines premium cooking results and simple operation.
The oven design has been optimized to improve heat distribution in the oven cavity. The result is even browning, shorter cooking times and lower energy consumption.
Thanks to the Self Clean mode, hours of scrubbing into the darkest corners of the oven is a thing of the past. The oven burns off soil simply and easily. All that is left to do is to remove a few ashes from the oven when Self Clean is done.
Clear labeling of the touch pads makes operating the oven very easy. This manual includes all instructions for operating the oven.
Please call us if you ever have any questions. Our telephone number is located at the beginning of this manual. We welcome your comments and suggestions!

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-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 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.
English 21
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.

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
•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.
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.
•For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1 1/2” space between pans or dishes and oven walls.
•Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.
English 23
Auto Convection Conversion
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.
2heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that
the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.Heat comes from the upper and lower
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 that one is not directly above the other (see graphic below). Use these rack positions.

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.
•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 that one is not directly above the other.
Pizza
In the Pizza mode, heat from the
2circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.upper and lower elements is
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips
•There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check 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.
English 24
•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
Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more
%intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist.
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.
•When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
Convection Roast
Convection Roast uses heat from
2the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan.
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:
•As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes.
•Rich, golden browning.
Tips:
•Preheating the oven is not necessary.
•Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
English 25
•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
(Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.
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.
Convection Broil
Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It
7combines 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 not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.
Tips:
•Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
•Steaks and chops should be at least 1 1/2" thick.
•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 once during the recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be turned.
•Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.
•For Convection Broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart.
Proof
In Proof, the oven uses the lower
$element to maintain a low temperature to proof bread or other yeast doughs.
•No preheat is necessary.
•Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.
•The Proof mode temperature range is 85° F to 125º F.
•The default temperature in the Proof mode is 100º F.
•Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.
•Keep the oven door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.
Warm
In Warm, the upper and lower
%elements maintain a low temperature in the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving temperature.
•Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot (for up to one hour) until ready to serve.
•Warm mode temperatures are 150º F to 225º F.
•The default temperature in the Warm mode is 170º F.
•Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
9CAUTION
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 140º F or warmer.
•DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.
