climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an
open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious
burns or other injury.

• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES

OFTH EOVEN. Both surface unitsand oven heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark incolor. Areas near
surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing orotherfiammable
materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among these ateas are the cook top, surfaces facing
the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven doorand window.

=Wear Proper Apparel--Loose=fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not
let clothing orother flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry

chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

=When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or

grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholdere on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use atowel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

=Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.

=Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to

be stored or discarded.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if

equipped) for storage.

Do not store items of interest to children in

the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a
range. Children climbing on the range to reach itemscould be
seriouslyinjured.

Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or

Heating the Room.

=Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials

should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near
surface units or in the storage drawer. This includes

paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware
and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store

explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

=Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be

left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any

part of the appliance.

IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the range during
a power failure, if the power fails, always turn off the range.
If the range isnot turned off and the power resumes, the range
will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the

clock and oven function.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP

=Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Place a pan of food on the unit before turning iton, and turn
the unit off before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one
or mo resurface units of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also improve efficiency.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP (Cont'd)

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the

risk ofburns, ignition offlammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface units.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersedinwater. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, orotherglazed utensils
are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the
fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the
area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease

to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be

aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may
ignite causing damage and injury.

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN

=Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer

(if equipped)--Stand to the side of the range when opening
the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape befo re you
remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is
located under the left rear surface element ifyour model is
equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below
the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook
tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is
operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic

or heat-sensitive itemsonor near the oven vent. These items
could 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 use extreme caution. Use potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert (some
models). The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to
drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this

manual. Improper installationof these liners may result inrisk
of electric shock, or fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor ofCalifornia 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.

FOR CERAMIC=GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the

broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cook Top 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 noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

OVENVENT

\

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel
(See Fig. 1). When the oven ison, warm air passes through the vent.

This venting isnecessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks

To remove, pull the rack forward until itstops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front
of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Arranging Oven Racks & Roasting Shelf

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL

(PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when

using the oven.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 1 & 4 (See Fig. 7). For best results
when using a single oven Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 3 (See Fig. 8).

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking
results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around

the cookware for proper air circulation
and be sure pans and cookwaredo not

touch each other, the oven door, sides
or back of the oven cavity. The hot air

must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for

even heat to reach around the food.

Fig. 7 Fig. 8

SettingSurfaceControis

Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly & 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 & pitting), if aluminum pans slide across the ceramic
cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble
scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).

STAINLESS STEEL- Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean & resists

staining.

Using proper cookware

CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL- Heating
characteristics will vary depending on base material.
Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid
scratching ceramic cooktops.

GLASS- Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the

glass.

*CORRECT INCORRECT

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
heating element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 1).

Be sure to follow the
recommendations for using

propercookware as
illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2.

Fig. 2

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. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-

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.

Suggested Radiant Surface Element Settings Table

The suggested settings found in Fig. 3 are
based when cooking with medium-weight
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary
when using other types of pans.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and
the amount and type of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for best cooking

results.

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 auniform

and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking iscomplete. This will allow

residual heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructionsfor

ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General

Surface Control

Care & Cleaning and Before You Call checklist
sections of this Use & Care Manual.

Element ON & Hot Surface Indicator Lights
Your range isequipped with two different types of radiant surface control

indicator lights that will glow on your range-- the Element ON indicator
light and the Hot Surface indicator lights (Refer to Fig. 2).

Left @CO

Rear O @

Fig. 2

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON & 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 flat.

Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models)

To Operate a Single Radiant Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on radiant surface element.

2. Push in& turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting
(Refer to the Suggested Radiant Surface Element Settings Table & Fig. 3).
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to
finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a
particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing
red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware

indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking is complete turn the surface element OFF before removing the
cookware.

Note: The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or more of the surface
elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is
finished isan easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface
indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob isturned to the OFF position
& will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

DO NOT allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can

melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items
melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

Setting the Warming Zone (some models) Fig.1 Fig.2

The purpose of the Warming Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not

recommended to heat cold food on the Warming Zone.

All food placed on the Warming Zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when
warming pastries or breads, the cover should have anopening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover
food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean from the cooktop surface.

Use only dishware, utensils & cookware recommended for oven and ceramic cooktop use on the Warming Zone.

Speed Bake TM Cooking System (some models)

Benefits of Speed Bake TM Cooking System:

-- Foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time & energy.

-- Multiple rack baking.

-- No special pans or bakeware needed.

How Speed Bake TM Cooking System works

The Speed Bake TM Cooking System uses a fan to
circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around

the oven (See Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution allows
for fast, even cooking & browning results. It also gives better

baking results when using 2 racks at the same time.

Heated airflows around the food from all sides, sealing in

juices & flavors. Meats cooked with Speed Bake TM

Cooking System are juicer. Poultry iscrisp on the outside
while staying tender & moist on the inside. Breads & pastry

brown more evenly. Most foods baked ina standard oven
can be cooked faster & more evenly with the Speed

Bake TM Cooking System.

Speed Bake TM Cooking Instructions:

For Baking:

1. For optimum cooking results itis recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits & breads.

2. Reduce oven temperature 25° Ffrom recipe's

recommended oven temperature. Followthe remainder
of the recipe's instructions using the minimum

recommended cook time.

3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in

positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 2).
Note: Layer cakes will have better results using the normal

Bake featu re.

When the Set Bake Time Runs Out:
a. "END" will appear in the display window and the oven

will shut-off automatically.

b. The control will beep 3 times every 60 seconds until

_is pressed.

Setting Oven Controls (cont'd)

For Roasting:

1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods with
Speed Bake TM Cooking System.

2. Since Speed Bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook
time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your

recipe. Increase the time until the desired doneness is

obtained.
Note: Cook time reductions will vary depending on the

amount and type of food being cooked.

To Set Speed Bake TM Cooking System:

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven

door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire

extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour
may be explosive.

g

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, oven

bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil.
Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can

damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution
when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is
completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning (cont'd)
Preparing for a Self=Clean Cycle

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itselfwith high temperatures
(well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils

completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can
wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in

or around any part of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material

of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the

gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door

gasket. Doing so could cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan & insert (some models), all

utensils & ANY aluminum foil. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures.

= Remove racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks"

under Before Betting Oven Controls. If they are not
removed during the Self-Clean cycle their color will turn

slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is
complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the

oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier

intothe rack position).

• Remove any excessive spiJJovers in the oven cavity

before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use
hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause

heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid

content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a

dull spot even after cleaning.

• Hand clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner

outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the
front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat

sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap & water.

• Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining

on the oven bottom should be removed.

using your hand from the front of the bake element. This will
allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning.
Remove the bottom oven rack before raising the element. Be

careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches
from the resting position.

Starting the Self-Clean Cycle or a Delayed
Start Self=Clean Cycle

For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for
light soils or a 3 hour cycle for heavier soils. NOTE: The

kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open
window, ventitlation fan or exhaust hood during the t st Self-

Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors
associated with the t st Self-Clean cycle.

To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle or a

General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)

Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop:

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with your new range. Buff with
a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop
cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause
metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning

cream. Metal marks can become permanent ifnot removed prior to future

use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or dirty bottoms
can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal
or glass across the cooktop. Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt

build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using. Do not

use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do

not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not
drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, they may

cause itto crack.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTopO Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic
type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop iscleaned thoroughly, leaving no

residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTopO Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non=abrasive

plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for

any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding
scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with

cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been
specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

o

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately ifspilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop

surface_ may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface
elements OFF use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and
scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool,

and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)

Cleaning Precautions for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some
nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven
cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or
lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Use on the Ceramic Cooktop

Door Hinge

fully open.

• Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop will damage the ceramic
cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch
the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils =The melting point of aluminum ismuch lower than thatofother
metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop.
If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but itmay fuse to, break
or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Before You Cail

solutions to common Problems

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences

(shown in bold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these
problems are provided with the problem listed:

Range is not level - (1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling
legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support
range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make

range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible
for service - (1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet.

Surface element too hot or not hot enouqh - Incorrect control
setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element to be

used.
Surface element does not heat - (1) Lightweight or warped

pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
heavyweight cookware. Fiat pans heat better than warped

pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect
heating. Heavy & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because
lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily. (2) No
power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance

Does Not Operate" in this checklist. (3) Incorrect control
setting. Make sure the correct control is ON for the surface

element to be used.
Entire appliance does not operate - (1) The time of day is not

set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the
oven. See "To Set the Clock" in the Setting Oven Controls
section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.
(3) Service wiring is not complete. Contact your authorized

service agent. (4) Electrical power outage. Check house lights
to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

Oven does not operate - Be sure the oven controls are set
properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in

- Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press

CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping. Reprogram
oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF &

contact an authorized service agent.
Flames inside oven or smokinq from oven vent - Excessive

spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom.

Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or
excessive smoke are present see "Broiling" in the Setting

Oven Controls section.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling - (1) Control(s) not
set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven
Controls. (2) Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop
position. (3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the

broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the
element. Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not
properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut fatty
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on
broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place

grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease
to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up on oven
surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive
smoking.

Poor baking results - Many factors affect baking results. Make
sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the
oven & space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to

preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven.
Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking
time. Ifyou feel the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your
Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.

and Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface (Ceramic
Cooktop models) - (1) Coarse particles such as salt or sand
between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure

usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become

less visible with time. (2) Cleaning materials not recommended
for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop
Cleaning & Maintenance." (3) Cookware with rough bottom has

been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
