IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE COMPLETELY FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR BEHIND THE RANGE AND SLIDE RANGE COMPLETELY BACK UNTIL THE REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
WARNING: NEVER use this
appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
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 airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
CAUTION: Do not store
items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on
the back guard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do Not Leave Children Alone
– Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range.
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-
fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the range.
User Servicing – Do not
repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Storage in or on the Range –
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
Do Not Use Water on Grease
Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use Only 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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 or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
Never Leave Surface Units
Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Glazed Cooking Utensils –
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be
Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

Cooktop Use
The ceramic cooking area will glow red when a heating element is on. Some parts of the cooktop may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal. The cooking area cycles off and on, even when set to HI , to keep the cooktop glass from overheating. It is normal for the surface of ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage from pitting or scratching and to condition to the cooktop surface, clean the cooktop after each use. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for cleaning. All of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop are available at most grocery stores. See the “Range Care” section for additional information.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using
them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated. Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard
object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
14 15
Cooktop Use
Cooktop Use
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As
the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills as soon as
possible. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly.
While wearing oven mitts, remove the spill using a scraper while the
surface is still warm.
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop.
They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely. To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt,
such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop. To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
BEFORE USE
1. If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.
2. Clean your glass top. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is
recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial use.
3. Place a saucepan of water on each of the front burners and turn them on HI
heat for at least 30 minutes. Turn off the front burners.
4. Place a saucepan of water on each of the rear burners and turn them on HI
heat for at least 30 minutes. Turn off the rear burners.
NOTES:
This procedure evaporates any protective oils and humidity collected
during the manufacturing process, and enables the electronic control circuits to operate properly.
There may be a slight odor during the first several uses: this is normal
and will dissipate. The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes
after the elements have been turned off.
HEATING ELEMENTS
NOTES:
For fastest boiling with pots 10" (25.4 cm) and larger, use the Even-Heat™
(Triple-ring) element with all elements set to “Hi.” For best low heat performance with pans 10" (25.4 cm) and larger,
use the Dual-Size element set to “Single Lo.” For best melting performance with small pans, use the Even-Heat™ element.
HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHT
On ceramic glass cooktops the Hot Surface Indicator lights are located on the glass cooktop.
The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will glow as long as any cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off.
DUAL-RING COOKING ELEMENT
The Dual-Size Cooking Element offers the flexibility to use larger cookware.
Single-size elements can be used in the same way as a regular element.
The dual-size combines both the single and outer element and is
recommended for larger size cookware.

WARMING ZONE ELEMENT
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Use the Warming Zone element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the
recommended maximum time recommended to maintain food quality. Do not use the Warming Zone element to heat cold foods.
The Warming Zone element can be used alone or when any of the other
surface cooking areas are being used. The Warming Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on. However,
the hot surface indicator will glow while the Warming Zone element is in use. Use only cookware recommended for cooktop use.
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods
allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.
Use pot holders to remove food.
RECOMMENDED HEATING ELEMENT SETTINGS
Heating elements do not require preheating. A range of heating settings is listed in the following chart because the required temperature depends on:

COOKWARE
The choice of pan directly affects the cooking performance (speed and uniformity). For best results, select pans with the following features.
Flat Base
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion
channels can be used.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum: heats and cools quickly. Frying, braising, roasting. May leave metal
markings on glass. Cast Iron: on a glass cooktop heats and cools slowly, but retains heat and
cooks evenly. Copper: tin heats and cools quickly. Best used for gourmet cooking,
wine sauces, egg dishes. Enamel ware: response depends on base metal. Not
recommended. Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop. Glass Ceramic: heats and cools slowly. Not recommended. Heats too
slowly. Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop. Stainless Steel: heats and cools moderately. Soups, sauces,
vegetables, and general cooking.
HOME CANNING
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Safe canning requires that harmful micro organisms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed completely. When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the required time.
After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or pressure levels are maintained for the required time.
Failure to do so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas
or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On
electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to avoid
damage to the cooktop and elements.
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

PREHEATING
When beginning a Bake, Convection Bake or Convection Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when you open the oven door to place the food on the rack. This ensures that cooking will begin at the proper temperature. Do not open the door while the oven is preheating. When the oven has heated to the set temperature, a tone will sound. You can then open the door and place food in the oven.
OVEN MODES
BAKE
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air, but the fan is used only during preheating.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.
The temperature can be set from 170°F (77°C) to 500°F (260°C).
General Guidelines
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 1½" (2.5 - 4 cm)
space between bakeware and oven walls. Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
Check for doneness at the minimum time.
Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish), heatproof glass,
glass ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven. When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C)
from recommended temperature.

Oven Use
Oven Use
Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning.
Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods. Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the
oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will alter the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven.
Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.

BROIL
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
NOTES:
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
For best results, use a two-piece broiler pan with a grid (not provided).
It is designed to drain juices which helps to avoid spatter and smoke. For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan
may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning. Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to
avoid curling. Select HI Broil 550°F (288°C) for most broiling. Select LO Broil 450°F (232°
C) for low-temperature broiling for foods that take longer to cook, such as poultry, to avoid over browning.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use
tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food.
Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the
oven rack. Close the oven door and set the control.
To Broil:
The temperature can be set from 450°F (232°C) to 550°F (288°C).
1. Place the food in the oven, preheating is not necessary.
2. Close the oven door.

WARM/PROOF
The Warm mode keeps hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. The Proof mode prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the
recipe directions as a guide.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven during the Warm function.
For best results, cover food. Warm

Press START, if you wish to Proof dough at 100°F (38°C). OR Enter the desired temperature by pressing the number keypad, and then press START. The temperature can be set from 80°F (27°C) to 120°F (49°C).
4. “PROOF” will appear in the display, once Start is pressed. NOTE: After selecting an Oven Mode and Temperature, you have the
option to set a Cook Time and Start Time before pressing START. See “Cook Time” and “Start Time.”
5. Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size, checking after 20-25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
6. Press CANCEL when finished.
7. Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s) and
cover loosely with plastic wrap, coated with cooking spray. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove the plastic wrap.
CONVECTION
During convection cooking, the fan provides hot air circulation throughout the oven. The movement of heated air around the food can help to speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food cooks more evenly, browning and crisping outer surfaces while sealing moisture inside.
When the oven is set to the Convection function, the ring element, bake and broil elements, and the fan operate to heat the oven cavity. If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or preheating, the fan turns off immediately and the element(s) will turn off. Once the door is closed, the element(s) will automatically turn on.
CONVECTION FAN
The convection fan operates during any convection mode. When the oven is operating in convection mode, the fan will turn off automatically when the door is opened. The convection fan may run in non-convection modes during the preheat time.

CONVECTION BAKE
Use Convection Bake for single or multiple rack baking. Reduce standard
recipe baking temperature by 25°F (15°C). For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans to take
advantage of the forced air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans for best results unless otherwise specified.
Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature by another 25°F
(15°C) when using heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50°F (30°C). Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster when using
dark metal bake ware. The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be cooked.
Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’t try
to convert recipes such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes, which do not benefit from the convection-heating process. Use the regular Bake mode for these foods.
Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is
done on rack positions 1, 2, 3 , 4 and
5. All five positions can be used for cookies, biscuits and appetizers.
- 2 Rack baking: Use positions 1 and 3.
- 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3 and 4 or 1, 3 and 5.
When baking four cake layers at the
same time, stagger pans so that one pan is not directly above another. For best results, place cakes on front of upper rack and back of lower rack. Allow 1" - 1½" (2.5 - 4cm) air space around pans.
