COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Cooking Conditions
Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.
Condition Attributes Recommendation
Aging cookware As pans age and become discolored,
cooking times may need to be reduced
slightly.
High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is lower.
Water boils at a lower temperature, and
liquids evaporate faster.
Foods may take longer to bake.
Doughs may rise faster.
If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook
time in the recipe or packaging.
If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to
maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as
needed.
Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.
Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce
evaporation.
Increase bake time or oven temperature.
Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in
recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and
allow it to rise twice.
Cooking Results
Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.
Result Recommendation
Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.
Cooking Tips
Baking
Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Oven Control Features” on starting on page 17.
When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.
Preheat Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as illus
trated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Check for flatness by rotating
a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware (see
Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good con
tact with the entire surface of
the heating element (see
Figure 2).
Figure 1: Testing cookware

Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of
food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum
cookware resists staining and pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily
(see Aluminum).
•Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
•Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor, but will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material.
•Glass - Slow heat conductor.
Figure 2: Proper cookware
12
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-en amel
coated cookware on the element. The melting point of
cookware made with these materials may be reached
quickly, especially if left empty. If the cookware melts it
will damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manu
facturer’s recommendations for use and care of
cookware.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time.
Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

CAUTION
NOTE
IMPORTANT
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 efficient cooking, turn the element off several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
• Surface elements may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. The element sur face may
still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or
surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a
safe temperature.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic
wrapping on top of the range when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or
reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners
may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or
more elements are turned on.
Figure 3: On indicator light
A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is
finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements
are turned off.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the
burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after
the burner is turned off until the surf ace has cooled to a safe
temperature.
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the
element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
• Be sure to read detailed instructions for coil cooktop
cleaning in the
“Before You Call” checklist section of this Use and
Care Guide.
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt,
to make contact with the cooking element. If these items
melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop.

Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning proce
dures.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check canner
bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on
electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center
canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
-
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully.
Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural
Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for
the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high
heat for an extended amount of time.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on,
warm air is released through the vent. This venting is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the
openings with aluminium foil or any other material. S team or
moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Figure 6: Oven vent
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any
other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls,
racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the
heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and
possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock or fire.
• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior,
oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which
can cause burns.
• To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not
attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks
are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.

about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and
may be used in most oven rack positions. To maximize
oven cooking space, place the bottom oven rack in the
lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of
meat.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on
both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using.

CAUTION
Surface elements and drip bowls
• Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of these
bowls during cooking may subject wiring or compo
nents underneath to damage.
• Never immerse a surface element in water.
• Be sure the range is cool before removing surface
elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend
terminal ends when replacing surface elements after
cleaning.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installa
tion of these liners may result in risk of electric shock
or fire.
Surface elements may be unplugged a nd removed to ma ke
cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean
themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot
element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be
cleaned with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn off
the next time the element is used.
To remove the surface elements and drip bowls:
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal
end. Lift the surface element and drip bowl together just
enough to clear the cooktop.
