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 cooling fan
that runs in the bake and self-clean modes to
keep internal components at a cool temperature.
The fan may keep running after 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 be HOT and cause burns.
Your 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.

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 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 efcient
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 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 at bottoms.
Check for 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 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.
12
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
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.

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant
surface element.
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 efcient 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 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 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.

portions are needed turn the knob at position
marked dual (Marked dual - see gure 2).
If only inner heating portion is needed for
smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob
counterclockwise (Marked inner - see gure 3).
Note: You may switch from the single, double
or triple settings at any time during cooking.
Please note that all three portions will adjust to
the same power level.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the
cookware.

• For efcient 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 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 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 sufciently.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warm zone as
cookware and plates will not be hot.
Do not place 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 re if placed too close to the warm
zone.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop
they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
IMPORTANT
• Use only plates, utensils and cookware
recommended for oven and ceramic cooktop
use. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil
to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can melt
onto the cooktop.
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the warmer
zone.
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 it is time to serve food, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the
cookware.
