Important Safety Instructions
Fire Safety • Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,
especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door closed.
Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. For
example, never use the appliance for warming or heating the room. Never use
the appliance for storage.
• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
• If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners
or elements. They could catch on fire.
• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
English 1
Safety
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers may ignite.
• WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
2) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food
(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
3) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accu-
mulate on fan or filter.
4) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.
• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.
• WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray,
then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the
flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
2) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
3) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent
steam explosion will result.
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back toward an exit.
• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop
fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
Burn Prevention • DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface
units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units
or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable 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. 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.
English 2
Safety
• 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 as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
• Avoid reaching or leaning over the appliance. Be aware that certain clothing
and hair sprays may contain flammable chemicals that could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause
severe burns.
• Do not touch interior surface of the drawer while it is in use. The interior of the
drawer could become hot enough to cause burns. Allow drawer and rack (if
equipped) to cool before handling.
• WARNING: To prevent burns, do not remove drawer while hot. Be sure
drawer is empty before removing.
Child Safety • When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal respon-
sibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an 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.
• CAUTION - Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance,
in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an
appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety • IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of 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.
English 3
Safety
• Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety • Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
• Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent
spills and movement of the pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner
will also improve efficiency.
• Cookware not approved for use with glass ceramic cooktops may break with
sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for glass
ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable). See Cookware Selection
Guide for further details.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of
fires, spills and burns.
• CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if in direct contact with
the drawer or a hot utensil. If it melts onto the drawer, it may not be removable.
Proper Installation and Maintenance • WARNING: When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed
to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be
followed, including those in the following pages.
• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it
for easy reference.
• This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.
• All ranges can tip. Injury to persons could result. Install anti-tip device packaged with range. Verify that the anti-tip devices are engaged. See installation
instructions.
Figure 1: Tipping Precautions
• This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not
approved for outdoor use. See the Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating

Radiant Element The radiant element uses a wire ribbon located under the glass ceramic surface to
provide the heat for cooking. The radiant element will cycle on and off by design
(see Temperature Limiter).
Dual Element The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating
area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be
selected for use, in order to better match the size of cookware.
Retained Heat The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have
been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving tempera-

tures for a short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or
cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
Temperature Limiter Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking sur-
face from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by
cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting.
Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the
limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual:
• The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to
a warped or uneven base).
• The pan is too small for the element.
• The pan has boiled dry.
• The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.
Hot Surface Indicator The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too
hot to touch. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning
around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
Flat Oven Racks 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 heating elements.
Inserting Racks Into Oven
1. Grasp rack firmly on both sides.
2. Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack guide.
3. Bring rack to a horizontal position and press the rest of the way in. Rack should be straight and flat, not crooked.

Getting the Most Out of Your Cooktop
Cooktop Cooking Guide
Boiling Water Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the fol-
lowing tips to decrease boil time:
• Use a lid.
• Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of
the element.
• Select a pan with a flat base (See “Cookware Selection Guide” on page 16 for
details).
• Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).
• Make sure that the pan is positioned so that the entire base is in contact with
the element.
• Start with water that is already warm.
• Boil the smallest amount of water necessary. Smaller volumes will boil faster
than larger volumes.
Recommended Settings Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed
because the actual setting depends on:
• type and quality of pan (See “Selecting Cookware”),
• type, quantity and temperature of the food,
• element used and
• the cook’s preference.
English 15
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance
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.
Table 3: Cooking Guide

Most frying, eggs, pancakes, slow boil 4-5 - Med
Simmering, finish cooking, covered foods, steaming 2-3 - Med Low
Melting butter and chocolate 1 - Low
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. 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.

Figure 7: Pan Placement
Baking Pans Here are some tips for cooking with baking pans:
• Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore reduce oven temperature 25°F
when baking in glass.
• Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate browning.
• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing temperature 25° F when using
these pans. Follow manufacturer recommendations.
• Use glass or dark metal pans for pies.
• Insulated baking pans may increase the recommended baking time.
Preheating the Oven Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. Preheating is necessary for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time. Place oven racks in proper position before
preheating. A beep will confirm that oven is preheated and selected oven temperature will be displayed.

Oven Cooking Modes
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.
Convection Bake
• Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot until ready to serve.
• Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220° F. Default temperature is 170°.
• Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
CAUTION
When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:
•Do not use the Warm Mode to heat cold food.
•Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer.
•DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
Convection baking is similar to baking. Heat
comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking
is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven
by the convection fan.
The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for
baking large quantities of food on multiple racks.
It can be used to prepare cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and appetizers among other items.
English 18
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:
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance
• Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to Convection Baking chart.
Note: The temperature is automatically reduced as long as the Automatic
Convection Conversion Feature is activated.
• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.
• Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack
Automatic Convection Conversion In the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced 25° F
from the package or recipe temperature. Simply enter the package or recipe temperature when setting the mode and the range calculates the correct temperature.
The Automatic Convection Conversion feature can be turned off to allow for manual temperature adjustment. See “Turn Automatic Convection Conversion ON or

Broil
Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the
upper element. The Broil mode is best suited to
cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1” or less),
poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown
breads and casseroles. Always broil with the
door closed.
The benefits of Broiling include:
• Fast and efficient cooking
• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids
• Browning as the food cooks
For Best Results:
• Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
English 19
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance
Table 5: Broiling Chart
• Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick
• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking
• Use the broil pan and grid included with your range
• Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away
from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering
• Turn meats once halfway through the recommended cooking time (see Broil
Chart for examples).
• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such
as Corningware®.
• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); they can’t tolerate the high temperature.

Convection Roast
Convection Roast uses heat from both the bottom and top elements. It also uses extra heat
from the top element and heat circulated by the
convection fan to improve browning and seal in
juices. The Convection Roast mode is well suited
to preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry.
The benefits of Convection Roasting, include:
• As much as 25% faster cooking than standard Roasting/ Baking
• Rich, golden browning
For Best Results:
• Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
• Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease by as much as 25%.
Refer to Convection Roast Chart for examples.
• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
• Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range for roasting. A low-sided,
uncovered pan can also be used.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
Table 6: Convection Roast Chart
• 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 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven.

marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled with glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this does not remove the marks, try a
mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® without bleach) with a
dampened paper towel. Rinse and reapply creme. Failure to
remove metal marks before the next heating makes removal very
difficult.
Hard Water Spots - Hot cooking liquids
dripped on surface
Surface scratches - Small scratches are to
be expected on the glass surface, but do not
affect cooking. In time, small scratches will
become smoother and much less noticeable
with daily use of the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
• The minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface
and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
• Apply Cleaning Creme before using to remove sand-like grains
and grit such as salt and seasoning.
• Can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean,
and dry before use. Use recommended glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner daily on the cooktop.
Care and Cleaning - Oven
Self Cleaning the Oven Our ovens feature a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high
temperature to burn away food soil and grease.
• Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the SelfClean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the
oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening
the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
• The oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.
• The oven light does not operate during this mode.
• During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate
odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors will lessen with use.
• Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. The range can also be set to clean
for 3 or 5 hours.
• The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.
• When the oven cools after cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and
the door can be opened.
• To cancel or stop while the mode is operating, press OFF.
• The door will not unlock until the oven reaches a safe temperature.
Preparing the Oven for Self Clean
WARNING
A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean, rub,
damage or move the gasket.
1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.
2. Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. See Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care.
3. Wipe up excessive soil, spills and grease before self-cleaning the oven.
Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-cleaning.

2. The self-clean mode may produce ash which will settle in the bottom of the oven. If this happens, remove ash with a damp cloth before using the oven.
3. Wipe rack edges with cooking oil to allow for proper glide. Wipe off excess.
After self-cleaning, the entire oven can be safely cleaned with a soapy sponge,
rinsed and dried. If stubborn soil remains, follow the guidelines on this page.
• Always use the mildest cleaner that will remove the soil.
• Rub metal finishes in the direction of the grain.
• Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
• Rinse thoroughly with a minimum of water so it does not drip into door slots.
• Dry to avoid water marks.
• Do not use caustic cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may etch the surface.
The cleaners listed below indicate types of products to use and are not being
endorsed. Use all products according to package directions.
