Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface elements — To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of ammable materials, and

spillage due to unintentional contact with

Important Safety Instructions

the utensil, the handle of the cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over other cooking areas.

Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units

of different sizes. Select cookware with at

bottoms that match the surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking

area will improve efciency.

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.

Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may damage the cooktop.

Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the

cooktop. Doing so may result in a re.

When you are aming foods under a venti-

lating hood, turn on the fan.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS

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 elec-

tric shock. Contact a qualied technician

immediately.

Clean cooktop glass 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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or

re or a short circuit.

Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). 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.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can 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, do not let potholder contact hot burner or element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the rack.

Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Important Safety Instructions

Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper cookware and always use the oven racks.

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 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.

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 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 ef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 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.

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.

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

re if placed too close to the surface elements.

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 suf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 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
