Storage in or on appliance --to avoid a fire
hazard, flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the storage
drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven. Thisincludes
paper, plastic and cloth items, such ascookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the
range.
To avoid a possible fire hazard, never use your
appliance for warming or heating the room.
Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or elements, or interior surfaces of oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other 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 openings, oven
door and oven door window.
Wear proper apparel -- loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Donot let clothing or otherflammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires -- flour may be explosive. 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 ofa potholder.
i
Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result mmjury,
Do not attempt to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
Besure to always have an appropriate foam-type fire extinguisher available, visible and easily accessible
located near the appliance.
Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip bracket/screws, or any other part of the range.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--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 under the left rear surface element if your model isequipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 interior oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven ishot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders 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. 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.
Page 5
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use &Care Manual. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention
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.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently--Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods.
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 technician 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 unit before turning it on,
and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
Use proper pan size--This appliance isequipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elements--To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable 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 units.
Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Do not immerse or soak removable heating
elements--Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types ofglass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
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.

Always use oven mitts to protect hands from possible
burns when using the oven or cooktop. The oven, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot.
Removing, replacing & arranging racks
To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out. To replace - fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls.
Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
Types of oven racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack styles shown.

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. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their 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 efficient cooking, turn the surface control OFFseveral minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
on & hot surface indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of surface element control indicator lights located on the control panel -- the on indicator and the hot surface indicator lights.
The on indicator light (See Fig. 2) will glow when any surface element isturned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure the
surface controls are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light (See Fig. 3) will glow when any surface
cooking area becomes hot and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a moderate level.

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the surface element to cycle ON and OFF,even at the HI setting.
This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care &
Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Manual.

Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat will transfer from the element to the cookware bottom.
The most popular materials available are listed below. 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 cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Copper - Excellentheat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow 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.
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.

Keep warm (some models)
The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm 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. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming 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.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.
Setting the keep warm control:
.
Push in either direction and turn the keep warm control knob (See Fig 1). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by hi and Io. However, the control may be set at any position between hi and Io for different levels of warming.
.
When ready to serve, turn the keep warm zone control to OFF. The keep warm zone will remain warm until the
indicator lightturnsOFF.
Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone
recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a
particular food isnot listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.

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 well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
Useonly quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
"Cookware material types" in the Before setting
surface controls section).
Useonly a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canningusing a ceramic cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller

Convec bake (some models)
Benefits of the convec bake feature
-- Foodscook more evenly
-- Multiple rack baking
-- No special pans or bakeware needed
Convec bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuouslyaround the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using multiple oven racks.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with convec bake are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more
evenly. Most foods baked in astandard oven can be cooked
faster and more evenly with convec bake.
Suggestions for convec bake
When baking
For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum
recommended cooktime.
When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).
When roasting
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using convec bake.
Reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time. If
necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness isobtained.

(For models that have a visible bottom bake element ONLY) The lower element may be tilted up from the front of the element to make access to spills easier. Wait until the oven is completely cool and remove the bottom oven rack before attempting to raise the element. Do not to raise the lower element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
Read before starting clean
Remove all items from the oven and cooktop, including food, cookware, utensils, plastic and any
aluminum foil. Aluminumfoil will not withstand high
temperatures generated during a self-clean cycle.
Remove all oven racks and any accessories from
the oven to avoid possible heat damage. If the oven
racks are not removed they may discolor. The Effortless TM Oven Rack (some models) must be removed before starting self-clean to avoid damaging
the glide ability of the rack.
Be sure the oven vent area is clear.
Remove all items from the lower storage drawer (some models) or warming drawer (some models).
Besure the oven light shield is in place. Turn off the
oven light.

Cooktop maintenance
Cooktop cleaning
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramicglasscooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and
abrasions. Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the
cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use. Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can

Damage to the glass cooktop may occur if using an
abrasive or dirty cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products
.........th ned fo cookto ......................................................................................
For light to moderate soil- Apply a few drops of glass- ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure
the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil- Apply afew drops of glass- ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
To maintain the cooktop appearance:
Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using.
Do not use your ceramic cooktop as a cutting board or
work surface in the kitchen.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without
a pan.
Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff surface clean.

Removing plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled
or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as shown). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Cooktop cleaning (cont'd)
DO NOT use the following on the cooktop:
Aluminum foil and oven liners (cont'd)
Aluminum foil and the cooktop - Use of aluminum foil on
a hot cooktop can damage the ceramic glass. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensilsor allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
Aluminum utensils and the cooktop - Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the utensil can become hot enough to be damaged or destroyed, and may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
Replacing interior oven light
Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the
cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they
can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
Aluminum foil and oven liners
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended inthis manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Using a liner in the oven will restrict the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven, including the warmer drawer (some models).
Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to cover the oven bottom or any oven racks.
During self-clean the oven temperature can become hot enough to melt aluminum cooking
utensils or aluminum foil left in the oven which
could result in damage to the oven interior
porcelain finish.
Besure the range isunplugged and allparts areCOOLbefore replacing ovenlight. Wear aleather-faced glove for protection
against possible broken glass.
The interior oven light is glass located at the rear of the shield
oven interior back wall and is covered with a glass wire
shield held by a wire holder holder.
The glass shield must always be in place to protect and shield the oven light bulb whenever using

Page 36
Storage in or on appliance --to avoid a fire
hazard, flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the storage
drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven. Thisincludes
paper, plastic and cloth items, such ascookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the
range.
To avoid a possible fire hazard, never use your
appliance for warming or heating the room.
Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or elements, or interior surfaces of oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other 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 openings, oven
door and oven door window.
Wear proper apparel -- loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Donot let clothing or otherflammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires -- flour may be explosive. 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 ofa potholder.
i
Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result mmjury,
Do not attempt to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the

Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip bracket/screws, or any other part of the range.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--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 under the left rear surface element if your model isequipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 interior oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven ishot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders 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. 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.
Page 37
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use &Care Manual. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention
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.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently--Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods.
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 technician 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 unit before turning it on,
and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
Use proper pan size--This appliance isequipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elements--To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable 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 units.
Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Do not immerse or soak removable heating
elements--Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types ofglass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
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.

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. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their 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 efficient cooking, turn the surface control OFFseveral minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
on & hot surface indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of surface element control indicator lights located on the control panel -- the on indicator and the hot surface indicator lights.
The on indicator light (See Fig. 2) will glow when any surface element isturned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure the
surface controls are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light (See Fig. 3) will glow when any surface
cooking area becomes hot and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a moderate level.

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the surface element to cycle ON and OFF,even at the HI setting.
This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care &
Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Manual.

Types of cooktop elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass cooktop. The patterns on the ceramic glass will outline the size and type
of element available. The single radiant element will have one round outline
pattern shown (keep warm zone is designed to keep food warm only - on some models).
The dual radiant element (some models) has two outline patterns. You may set just the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and outer portions of the element may be set to heat together. The control knobs for these element types are shown below (See Fig. 1).

Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat will transfer from the element to the cookware bottom.
The most popular materials available are listed below. 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 cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Copper - Excellentheat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow 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.
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.

Keep warm (some models)
The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm 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. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming 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.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.
Setting the keep warm control:
.
Push in either direction and turn the keep warm control knob (See Fig 1). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by hi and Io. However, the control may be set at any position between hi and Io for different levels of warming.
.
When ready to serve, turn the keep warm zone control to OFF. The keep warm zone will remain warm until the
indicator lightturnsOFF.
Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm zone
recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). If a
particular food isnot listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.

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 well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
Useonly quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
"Cookware material types" in the Before setting
surface controls section).
Useonly a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canningusing a ceramic cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller
diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
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 istouched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on the cooktop 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 surface elements.
Do not allowaluminum foil, orANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop.
If these items melt on the cooktop they could damage the ceramic cooktop.
Usethe highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different surface cooking areas at the same time. This may cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Convec bake (some models)
Benefits of the convec bake feature
-- Foodscook more evenly
-- Multiple rack baking
-- No special pans or bakeware needed
Convec bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuouslyaround the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using multiple oven racks.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with convec bake are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more
evenly. Most foods baked in astandard oven can be cooked
faster and more evenly with convec bake.
Suggestions for convec bake
When baking
For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum
recommended cooktime.
When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).
When roasting
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using convec bake.
Reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time. If
necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness isobtained.

Cooktop maintenance
Cooktop cleaning
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramicglasscooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and
abrasions. Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the
cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use. Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can

Damage to the glass cooktop may occur if using an
abrasive or dirty cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products
.........th ned fo cookto ......................................................................................
For light to moderate soil- Apply a few drops of glass- ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure
the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil- Apply afew drops of glass- ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
To maintain the cooktop appearance:
Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using.
Do not use your ceramic cooktop as a cutting board or
work surface in the kitchen.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without
a pan.
Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff surface clean.

Removing plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled
or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as shown). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Cooktop cleaning (cont'd)
DO NOT use the following on the cooktop:
Aluminum foil and oven liners (cont'd)
Aluminum foil and the cooktop - Use of aluminum foil on
a hot cooktop can damage the ceramic glass. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensilsor allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
Aluminum utensils and the cooktop - Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the utensil can become hot enough to be damaged or destroyed, and may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
Replacing interior oven light
Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the
cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they
can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.
Aluminum foil and oven liners
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended inthis manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Using a liner in the oven will restrict the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven, including the warmer drawer (some models).
Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to cover the oven bottom or any oven racks.
During self-clean the oven temperature can become hot enough to melt aluminum cooking
utensils or aluminum foil left in the oven which
could result in damage to the oven interior
