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 flaming 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 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.

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.
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
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 Self­Clean. 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.

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).
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.
English 6
Double Element (some models)
Oven Features
The dual element consists of two (a small and a large) radi­ant element within the same heating area. Either the small element, or both elemetns 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 fro 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.
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.
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. May run during self clean.
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 warm 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 soven 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.

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.
Table 1: Cooking Guide
Uses Heat Settings
Bringing water to boil 9 - High
Pan frying, sautéing, browning meat, deep fat frying
Most frying, eggs, pancakes, slow boil
Simmering, finish cooking, covered foods, steaming
Melting butter and chocolate 1 - Low
6-8 - Med-High
4-5 - Med
2-3 - Med Low
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
English 20
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 broiling poultry and thicker meats 3 most baked goods on a cookie sheet

1 (lowest
position)
hamburgers, steaks, melting cheese, browning toppings
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 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 350³ F.
English 21
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
For Best Results
Temperature Range 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 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 ºF 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.

-- 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
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.
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 Multi-Rack
Multi-Rack mode cooks with heat
from a third element behind the back
:
wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
Convection Bake
Convection Bake is similar to Bake.
Heat comes from the upper and lower
2
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.
heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
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 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 upper and lower elements is
2
circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
.
English 23
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips
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
Roast uses both the upper and lower
elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more
%
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.
intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist.
Convection Roast
Convection Roast uses heat from
the top and bottom elements as well
2
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.
Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease. Refer to the Meat/Poultry cooking chart for examples.
as heat circulated by the convection fan.
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.
