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,

Oven Vent

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.

Luxury Glide TM oven racks

The fully extendable Luxury-Glide TM 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 Luxury= Glide TM 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

difficult 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.

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 flat-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.

Surface Cooking

Surface cooking utensils

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 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.

Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for flatness 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 POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

t t

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting 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 '_ ii:iiii::i::i iiili: diameter to element

surface diameter.

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

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is smaller than element.

[ _ !Y!Y!ii

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.

urface Cookin

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.

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.

Setting Type of Cooking

High Start most foods; bring water to a (Hi) boil and pan broiling.

Medium high Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat (8 - 9.5) frying.

Medium Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces (6) and gravies; steaming vegetables.

Medium Low Keep foods cooking; poaching and (4 - 5) stewing.

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

Element On & Hot Surface indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of surface control indicator lights that will glow on the

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii_i!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

control panel m 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.

Push in and turn the surface control knob in

either direction to the desired setting. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired.

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

cookware.

IMPORTANT

° For efficient 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 sethng. 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 finish 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 flat.

A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware

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