flammable materials touch these areas until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these open-
ings, oven door and oven door window.
Wear proper apparel -- loose-fitting or hanging gar-
ments should never be worn while using the appli-
ance. Do not let clothing or other 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 dry potholders -- moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
IMPORTANT! Important Safety Notice
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California
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.

Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Protective Liners -- DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL
to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Use care when opening oven door, warmer
drawer or lower oven door -- Stand to the side of
the range 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. The oven
vent is located below the backguard. Touching
the surfaces in this area when the oven is operat-
ing 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 interior 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 pot-
holders 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. 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.
Cookware handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface elements. -- To
reduce the risk of burns and spillage due to unin-
tentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
the cookware 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 -- Boil overs cause smoking and
greasy spills.
Glazed cooking utensils -- Only certain types of
cookware are suitable for cook top service and
must be magnetic to work properly on the induc-
tion zones. Check the manufacturer's recommen-
dations for cook top use to ensure that the
cookware is compatible with induction cooking.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS 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 techni-
cian 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place a pan of food on the surface element
unit before turning it on, and turn the element off
before removing the pan.
Use proper pan size -- This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of differ-
ent sizes. Select utensils specifically designed for
induction ranges having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface of the induction
zone. Proper relationship of cookware to zone will
also improve efficiency. If improperly placed, the
display will flash until the cookware is placed
properly on the induction zone.
Save these instructions for future reference.
Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be
sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is
COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular atten-
tion to the area around 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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used wilt influence the induction
zone power level setting needed for best cooking results. Be
sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact
with the induction cooking zone. Check for flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom of the
cookware.
Cookware should always:
• Have flat bottoms.
• Have tight fitting lids.
• Be well-balanced.
• Be made of material that
conducts heat welt.
• Be easy to clean.
• Match to the size of the element.

Induction cookware
Before using the induction cooking zones, be sure to carefully
read and follow these cookware recommendations and the
instructions in the pan sensing section.
Induction cooking requires proper cookware that is made
specifically to work with the induction heating zones. Not all
stainless steel wilt work. Only cookware that attracts a magnet
is acceptable. Most manufacturers wilt prominently display
information that their cookware is induction compatible or made
specifically for induction ranges.
The cooking zones wilt not activate if the cookware is not
constructed with a base magnetic material. To check if the
cookware is suitable, use a magnet to test (Figure 2). If a
magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type
is correct.
_ii_i_iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'ii!ii_ii!iiiiiiiiiii!ii_ii!ii_ii!i:_i_ii_:_!iiiii_iii!iiii!_:ii!iiiiiiiiiii!ii___
• 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
diameter to element
size.
Figure 1: Choosing proper cookware
• Curved and warped pans.
Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.
Figure 2: Check bottom of cookware with a magnet
For the best possible surface cooking results, it is recom-
mended to only use high quality heavy gauge cookware on the
induction cooking zones.
Be sure to follow all the manufacturer's recommendations when
using cookware made for induction cooking.
Induction cookware types
The most common induction cookware types available are:
• Stainless steel - Generally, excellent for induction cooking.
Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Cast iron - Good for induction cooking. Cooks evenly. Do
not slide cast iron cookware on cooktop. Cast iron
cookware with a rough surface will scratch ceramic
cooktop.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on quality of base material. Porcelain-
enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching
ceramic cooktop.
Not all stainless steel cookware is magnetic;
stainless steel is not always suitable for induction cooking.
Always check to make sure the bottom of the cookware will
attract a magnet.
8 Before Setting Surface Controls
Benefits of induction surface cooking
Fast and efficient - The induction cooking zones heat faster
while using tess energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil
and efficient when simmering.
A cooler cooktop - A unique feature of the induction cooking
zones is whether turned on or off, the cooking zones remain
cooler than radiant type elements. Virtually no wasted heat is
produced since the heat begins with the presence of cookware.
Easy cleanups - The cooler cooking zones make cleanup
easier. Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up easily.
Magnetic detector - The cooking zone has a sensor that auto-
matically detects whether cookware is magnetic. This will
reduce accidental turn-on.
Pan size detection - The pan size recognition sensor automat-
ically detects and adapts the induction cooking zones to the pan
sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More responsive - The induction cooking zones are more
responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because only
the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and will be just
as responsive when reducing to a simmer.
About the induction cooktop
Your cooktop is equipped with four induction cooking zones and
a radiant heat warmer zone. The two left side zones can be
combined using the bridge function that will accommodate
oversize pots and an induction griddle.
Minimum pan size
Induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in order to
activate. The graphics on each cooking zone location are your
guide to the correct minimum pan size for that zone.The shorter
lines guide the minimum pan size (Figure 3). The cookware
bottom must meet the minimum area for the heating process to
begin.
If a pan that is induction-capable is centered properly but istoo
small, the affected cooking zone display will flash the last power
level setting and the pan will not heat.
When no pan ison the cooking zone or ifthe pan is not making
proper contact, the last power level setting (Power Boost
shown here as an example in Figure 4 ) wilt flash in the
display. Ifthe pan is not centered or if no pan is placed on the
element, the affected cooking zone wilt automatically turn off
after 3 minutes.It is recommended that you lower the requested
power level setting before correcting the pan sensing message.
Figure 4: Pb flashes when pan is not making contact
Figure 3: Induction cooktop heating zones
Induction cooking directly heats the pan; heating will only begin
when cookware is properly placed on the cooking zones.
Pan sensing
The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop surface
require that certain cookware conditions are met before the
induction cooking zones can operate.
The cooking zone display windows may display a pan sensing
error message. If a cooking zone is activated and no cookware
is detected, the affected induction cooking zone display window
wilt flash with the last power level request setting. If the
cookware does not meet the correct conditions, the cooking
zones may not heat.
Figure 5: Proper pan placement. Cookware base material
has good magnetic properties
Figure 6: Improper pan placement causing Pb to flash.
Cookware base material may not be magnetic.
Before Setting Surface Controls 9
When using the cooking zones
• Be sure to use cooktop cookware made with a magnetic
base material.
• Use quality cooktop cookware with heavier bottoms for
better heat distribution, allowing for more even cooking
results.
• Check that cookware bottom rests level on cooktop
surface. Cookware should have fiat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire induction cooking zone area.
• Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware.
• Be sure cookware is properly balanced and does not tilt
from a heavy handle.
• Be sure that the pan size matches the amount of food to be
prepared. The size and type of cookware used wilt
influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
• Never let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent
damage such as breakage, fusion, or marring that can
affect the cooktop.
• Use cookware that meets the minimum and maximum
cookware size requirements for each cooking zone.
Moving cookware on smoothtop
Always lift cookware before moving on the
ceramic glass smoothtop. Any cookware that has rough or dirty
bottoms can mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface.
Always start with clean cookware.
Sliding any type of cookware over the surface will scratch the
cooktop over time (Figure 7). Scratches will make cleaning the
ceramic cooktop difficult and degrade its appearance.
For more detailed information about the cooktop see "Cooktop
maintenance" and "Cooktop cleaning" in the "Care and
Cleaning" section.
f
F-
Hot cookware and residual heat
Unlike radiant surface elements, the cooking zones wilt not glow
red when they are hot. The glass surface may be hot from
residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may
OCCUr.
Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with
hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect hands
from burns.
The type and size of cookware, cooking duration, the number of
cooking zones in use and their power level settings are all
factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread
beyond the cooking zones.
The induction cooking zones and areas surrounding the
cooking zones may become hot enough to cause burns.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as welt as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see Cookware
Recommendations section).
• Use only a completely fiat bottom canner with no ridges that
radiate from the bottom center when home canning using a
range with a ceramic glass cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the cooking zone markings.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on
ranges with ceramic glass or open coil electric cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
IMPORTANT! NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over
2 different surface cooking zones heating at the same time.This
wilt cause uneven heating results and could cause the ceramic
cooktop to fracture. The only exception is when using large
cookware or the griddle with the bridge elements activated.
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel.
When the oven is operational, warm air wilt pass through this
vent for proper air circulation and provides good baking results
in the upper oven. Do not block this vent.

12 Setting Surface Controls
Using the Power Boost level (Pb)
The power boost level is available on all four induction zones.
The power boost setting is the highest level of induction cooking
and can only be set by starting in the power boost setting. The
power boost level is best for heating cookware that contain
large amounts of food or to bring a large amount of water to boil.
To operate the power boost:
1. Press ON-OFF and then press +. Pb will appear in the
display.
2. The power boost level wilt remain active for ten minutes
and then automatically turn to the Hi level unless changed
to a lower level.
3. To cancel Pb at any time press ON-OFF.
IMPORTANT! The power boost feature cannot be used as part
of the bridge feature. If the power boost feature is desired on
any induction zone that is already in use at a lower level, the
control must be turned OFF before the Pb feature can be set as
described above.
Using the bridge feature
The bridge feature combines the two 7 inch induction cooking
zones to offer a large cooking surface for very large cookware
and for using a griddle. The cookware must be large enough to
cover both 7 inch induction zones located on the left side of the
cooktop.
IMPORTANT! The bridge ON-OFF key must be pressed first
before the bridge zones can be activated. Once set, the two
zones will operate as a single unit when raising or lowering the
power setting. If either bridge control is turned off, both
induction zones will stop the cooking process.
Using the griddle:
The griddle is designed to be used only with the bridge feature
and the two 7 inch induction cooking zones.
To cook using the griddle:
1. Place the griddle carefully over the two left induction
cooking zones as illustrated in Figure 16.
2. Press bridge ON-OFE
3. Press -t-, med, or - on either
control to start the cooking
process.The two zones will work
as one single unit.
4. When bridge mode is active,
adjusting either cooking zone will
adjust both simultaneously.
5. To cancel cooking at any time
press bridge ON-OFF or the ON-
OFF key of either coking zone.
To operate the bridge feature:
1.
Make sure the cookware or griddle is covering both 7 inch
induction zones.
2.
Press bridge ON-OFF.
3.
Press the + or - key to reach the desired power level.
Remember that Pb is not available when using the bridge.
4.
To turn off the bridge zone press bridge ON-OFF. The
bridge can also be turned off by pressing the ON-OFF key
on either of the induction zones connected by the bridge
feature.
Using the griddle:
The griddle used on an induction cooktop wilt heat much faster
than conventional cookware. Always use pothotders to remove
the griddle. Allow the griddle to cool before removing. Do not set
hot griddle on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat (such as
counter tops).
Never drop the griddle on the cooktop. Always place the griddle
on the cooktop before turning on the power.
IMPORTANT! Always center the griddle over the bridge
induction cooking zones. (figure)
Do not place the griddle's rubber feet directly on a cooking
zone. Do not use the griddle in the oven or in a microwave.

Always start with hot, cooked foods. It is not recommended to
heat cold food to serving temperatures. Foods like vegetables,
gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, and pastries work
welt on the warming zone. The warming zone works well for
warming oven-safe dinner plates.
Warming zone temperature selection
Refer to the suggested settings when choosing a setting for
food. If a particular food is not listed, start with the reed setting
and adjust as needed. Most foods may be kept at serving
temperatures when using the reed setting.

IMPORTANT!
Use only plates, cookware, and utensils recommended for oven
and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum
foil to cover foods. Plastic or aluminum foil may melt onto the
ceramic cooktop
Figure 19: Warming zone settings
• Unlike other radiant elements on conventional ranges, the
warming zone wilt not glow red when it is hot. To avoid
possible burns always use potholders or oven mitts when
moving food to and from the warming zone. Cookware or
plates wilt be hot.
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be
hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt & pepper
shakers, spoon holders, plastic wrappings or aluminum foil
on top of the range when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to the warmer zone.

Oven racks
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely
cooled if possible. Oven racks may be very hot and may cause
burns.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2-4 inches
(5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation. Be
sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven
door, sides or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even heat
to reach the food.
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel.
When the oven is operational, warm air wilt pass through this
vent for proper air circulation and provide good baking results in
the upper oven. Do not block this vent.

Removing and replacing flat or offset oven racks
• To remove - pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
• To replace - place the oven rack on the rack guides on the
oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and
slide the oven rack back into place.
Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may
be placed in most oven rack positions.(Figure 21)
The offset oven rack (Figure 22) provides additional step down
positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design
positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions.
The fully extendable Luxury-Glide TM oven rack (Figure 23)
allows you to effortlessly extend your food away from the oven.
See Removing and Replacing the Luxury-Glide TM Oven
Racks for instructions.
The bottom oven rack (Figure 24) is used on the lowest rack
position to maximize space for baking or roasting large cuts of
meat.

IMPORTANT!
Remove ALL oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If
oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the
slide ability of the Luxury-Glide TM oven racks may be damaged
and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.
Clean oven racks according to the instructions provided in the
Care & Cleaning section.
The fully extendable Luxury-Glide TM rack makes food prepara-
tion easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to

Removing and replacing the Luxury-Glide TM
oven racks
To remove - Using one hand, reach through handle opening
and lift up on the release lever located across the lower front of
the rack as shown in Figure 25.
While holding up the release lever, pull the glide rack out of the
oven until the stop position is reached (Figure 26). 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 (Figure 27). 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.
IMPORTANT!
To prevent possible damage to the oven, DO NOT attempt to
close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned
back inside the oven cavity.
