• 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.

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-ename l coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly especially if left empty, and they may bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookwar e melts it will damage the cooktop! Be sure to follow all the cookware manufacturer ’s suggestio ns when usin g an y typ e of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element is turned off. This phenom enon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface element 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

Home Canning

Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United Sta tes Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

Oven vent location

Type of oven racks

The oven is vented as shown below. 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. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. S team or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Figure 14: Do not block oven vent location

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

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.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks

To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

To remove - Pull the oven rack stra 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 both

Setting Convection Convert

Convection convert automatically converts a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly , this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convection convert may only be used with a convection bake cooking mode. It can be used with a delay start and bake time. For delay start instructions, see “Setting Delay Start” on page 32. For bake time instructio ns, see “Setting Bake T ime” on page 32. If convection conversion is used w delay start features, CF (check food) will be displayed when 75% of the bake time complete.

Setting Convection Roast

This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired. Convection roasting gently browns the exter ior and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the bake element, convection element, broil element, and fan to circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The oven can be programmed for convection roasting at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 350°F.

To set a convection roast temperature of 375°F:

Should an oven fire occur, close oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
