Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is

equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having ﬂ at bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efﬁ ciency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units—To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of ﬂ ammable 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 unit.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended— Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners— Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or ﬁ re or a short circuit.

• 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.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers— If an element is accidentally turned

on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

• 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 qualiﬁ ed technician immediately.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer—

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/warmer drawer.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at the front above the oven door or through the rear of cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven/Warmer Drawer (if equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. 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 oven element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.

The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.

Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts

free of grease that could catch ﬁ re. Exhaust

fan ventilation hoods and grease ﬁ lters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch ﬁ re. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the

parts of the oven listed in this owner’s guide.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove all utensils stored in the oven.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks will be damaged if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

Oven Cooking

Oven vents location

The oven is vented through its upper front frame. 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.

Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the components have cooled down.

Oven Vent

Types of oven racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may HOT and cause burns.

Y our appliance may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven Rack, Fully Extendable Luxury-GlideTM Oven Rack and Offset Oven Rack.

Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

Flat oven rack

Air circulation in the oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown.

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 cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

1 Oven Rack

The fully extendable Luxury-GlideTM oven rack allows you to effortlessly extend your food away from the oven.

Fully extendable Luxury-GlideTM oven rack

To maximize cooking space the Offset Oven Rack can be used in the lowest rack position to roast large cuts of meat and poultry.

Luxury GlideTM oven racks

IMPORTANT

Remove ALL oven racks before starting a fresh clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the

Luxury-GlideTM oven racks may be damaged and

all of the oven racks will lose their shiny ﬁ nish. Clean oven racks according to the instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section.

The fully extendable Luxury-GlideTM rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

Removing and replacing the LuxuryGlideTM oven racks

To remove - Using one hand, reach through

handle opening and lift up on the release level located across the lower front of the rack as shown in Figure 1.

While holding up the release lever, pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached (see Figure 2). Using both hands, grasp the upper and lower portions of the glide rack. Lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven (see Figure 3). Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack. The rack portions move independently and are difﬁ cult to handle unless held together.

To replace - grasp both upper and lower portions of glide rack, lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position. Some force may be necessary to make sure the oven rack has snapped completely into place.

Surface Cooking

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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only ﬂ at-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and the 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 efﬁ cient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

NOTE

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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not ﬂ at.

Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning section and Solutions to Common Problems section of this Use and Care Guide.

Surface cooking utensils

Pans should have ﬂ at bottoms. Check for ﬂ atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom. There should be no gaps between the pan and ruler.

* Specialty pans such as

lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

*GOOD

• Flat bottom and

straight sides.

• Tight ﬁ tting lids.

• Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match pot

diameter to element surface diameter.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than 2.5 cm (1”).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is smaller than element.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Surface Cooking

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 & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass 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 above).

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

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.

Element On & Hot Surface indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of surface control indicator lights that will glow on the control panel the ELEMENT ON indicator light and the Hot Surface indicator lights (see Fig. 1).

The ELEMENT ON indicator light is marked on the control panel and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF.

The Hot Surface indicator lights are located on the control panel just above each surface control knob. The will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Suggested cooktop power settings

Use the chart below to determine the suggested setting for the type of food you are preparing when using the cooktop.

Recommended surface setting chart

Setting Type of Cooking

High (Hi)

Medium high (8 - 9.5)

Medium (6)

Medium Low (4 - 5)

Low (Lo - 3) Keep warm, melting and simmering.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The Hot Element Message Light will turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned OFF.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch ﬁ re if placed too close to the surface elements.

ELEMENT ON

Start most foods; bring water to a boil and pan broiling.

Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat frying.

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and gravies; steaming vegetables.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

IMPORTANT

• For efﬁ cient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

• The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Refer to chart above for suggested power level settings.

• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to ﬁ nish cooking.

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not ﬂ at.

• 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.

Operating the Warmer Zone

The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the warmer zone feature to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.

Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with the warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality.

For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warmer zone.

Unlike other radiant surface element, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. The glass surface may be still hot and burns can occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufﬁ ciently.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.

Do not place ﬂ ammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch ﬁ re if placed too close to the warm zone.

IMPORTANT
