IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP
• Know which knob or key controls each surface heating
area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area
before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before
removing the cookware.
• Cookware handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elements — To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the cookware should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
other cooking areas.
• Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
cookware with at bottoms that match the surface unit
size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking area
will improve efciency.
• Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check
the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
• Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes
in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes
in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs
may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite.
A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may
damage the cooktop.
• Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler
pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed
for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a re.
• When you are aming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn on the fan
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualied technician immediately.
• Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to
line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the
appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for
baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed
on food. Any other use of protective liners or alumi-
num foil may result in a risk of electric shock or re or
a short circuit.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or
warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of
the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces
in this area when the oven is on may cause severe
burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on
or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.
• Placement of oven racks - Always place oven racks
in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact
hot burner or element in oven. Use potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove
all cookware and utensils before moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans

Recommended rack positions by food type
offset
oven rack
The at oven rack or at handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible locations between the standard positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 3). For
best results when using a single oven at rack, place
cookware on rack position 5 (See Fig. 4).

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
About the ceramic glass cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The design of the
ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element
underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
at-bottomed cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and their settings are all factors that will
affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond
the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements
may become hot enough to cause burns.
About the radiant surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly.
As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To
maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON
and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to
provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efcient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.
element ON indicator light
Fig. 1
hot surface indicator light
Element On & Hot Surface indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights located on the
control panel just above the surface control knobs on
the control panel — the On and Hot Surface indicator
lights.
The element On indicator light will glow when any surface
element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator
light after cooking is an easy check to be sure the surface
controls are turned OFF (See Fig. 1).
The Hot Surface indicator light will glow when any
surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until
the cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level (See
Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
NOTES
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element
to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps
to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling
at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if
the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if
the cookware bottom is not at.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning and
Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care
Manual.
