convection baking. Preheat the oven for best results.

CAUTION

NOTE

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

What is Electromagnetic Induction?

An induction cooking zone uses an electromagnet to induce heat in iron or steel cookware.

Below each cooking zone on an induction cooktop, there is a copper coil. When the cooking zone is turned on, the elec tricity turns the coil into a type of magnet that heats metal cookware on the cooktop.

Induction Features

Because heat starts in the coo kware instead of the coo ktop, induction offers several advantages.

Fast Heating: Cookware will heat up faster than on a conventional electric cooktop. Pay close attention to avoid scorching food when starting to cook. You may need to use a lower setting for cooking food than you are used to.

Precise Control: The heat going into the cookware will change immediately when you change the setting of the cooking zone.

Even Heating: Cookware will typically heat more evenly on an induction cooktop, so you are less likely to have hot or cool spots in the cookware.

Cooler Cooktop: An induction cooktop will be cooler when you remove the cookware than a conventional electric cooktop would be. Because the cooktop doesn’t get a s hot, you are not as likely to get burned. Spills are also less likely to burn onto the surface, making clean-up easier.

Energy Efficiency: Induction cooking wastes less energy than a conventional cooktop, so it uses less electricity.

Although induction cooking zones do not produce heat, they can become hot from contact with hot co okware.

Burns may occur if a cooking zone or the surrounding

area is touched before it has cooled to a safe tempera ture.

Sounds

The magnetic field over the induction cooking zone may cause cookware to vibrate, creating a buzzing or humming noise. These sounds are not unusual, especially at high settings.

Figure 1: Induction noise

• Cookware that is not perfectly

flat on the bottom may vibrate slightly against the cooktop.

• A loose handle may vibrate in its socket.

• Multi-material cookware may allow small vibrations in its structure.

Preparation

Before using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass that will make cleaning easier when the cooktop is soiled from cooking and help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier, higher quality cookware.

An induction cooktop may also produce faint clicking sounds from the electronic switches that maintain the desired cooking temperature.

Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction cooktop cleaning in the

You Call” checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

“Care and Cleaning” section and “Before

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

CAUTION

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illus trated in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the cooking zone (see

Figure 7 on page 14).

Figure 2: Ruler test

Figure 2).

Cookware Selection

Cookware selection is especially important when using an induction cooktop. The cookware must contain magnetic iron or steel to work on an induction cooktop. Common materials for induction cookware include the following:

• Stainless Steel - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining. Some types of stainless steel will not work on an induction cooktop. Use the magnet test ( check stainless steel cookware.

Figure 3) to

The Magnet Test

To see if a piece of cookware will work on your induction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it (see

Magnet

Sticks

Figure 3: Magnet te st

If the magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cookware, it will work on your induction cooktop. If the magnet clings weakly or not at all, the cookware will not heat up on your induction cooktop.

Induction-ready cookware will often have a symbol printed on the bottom by the manufacturer.

Figure 4: Induction symbol

Figure 3).

Magnet

Falls

•Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel on a magnetic metal will work on an induction cooktop. Use the magnet test ( enamel cookware.

Figure 3) to check porcelain-

Proper cookware on an operating induction cooking zone will heat up very quickly. If an empty piece of cookware is left on an operating induction cooking zone, the rapid change in temperature may warp or damage the cookware.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

• Cookware centered correctly on cooking zone.

• Flat pan bottom and straight sides.

• Pan rests completely and is level on the cooktop surface.

• Pan is properly balanced.

• Pan bottom rests on cooktop edge.

• Cookware not centered on cooking zone.

• Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Cookware base material has good magnetic characteristics.

• Cookware base material is non-magnetic.

Pan Sensing

Sensors beneath the cooktop surface require that certain cookware conditions be met before an induction cooking zone will operate. If a cooking zone is turned on and no cookware is detected, the zone display showing the power setting will flash (

Figure 5: Flashing error message

The conditions that generate a flashing message are illustrated in Figure 7. If the situation is not corrected, the cooking zone will automatically turn off after three minutes. It’s a good idea to lower the power setting before correcting the pan sensing message.

Minimum and Maximum Pan Size

The cooktop graphics are guides to minimum and maximum pan size for each cooking zone.

Figure 5).

Induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in order to activate. The inner ring on each cooking zone indicates the smallest pan size (

Figure 6). If a suitable piece

of cookware is centered properly but is too small, the display will flash and the pan will not heat. Select a larger pan or use a different cooking zone.

The outer ring on the cooktop graphic indicates the recommended maximum pan size for that zone (Figure 6). Do not use pans with bottoms that extend beyond the outer circle for a cooking zone. The cookware must make full contact with the ceramic glass surface. Cookware should not rest on or touch the metal edges of the cooktop.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

Induction Cooking

When turned on, an induction cooking zone will not get hot. The induction cooking zone creates heat in the cookware, not in the cooktop. Heat is not created unless there is an iron or steel object on the cooking zone.

Cookzone Setting Display

The Setting Display will show the setting for the cook zone.

• Although induction cooking zones do not directly generate heat, they can become hot from contact with hot cookware. Burns may occur if a cooking zone or the surrounding area is touched b efore it has cooled to a safe temperature.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range when it is in use. Heat radiating from cookware could cause these items to melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to hot cookware.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop.

Figure 8: Setting displays (left)

If there is no cookware in the cook zone, the setting indicator will blink, and the magnet will not turn on.

Hot Surface Indicator

The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat is detected in the cooktop and will remain on until the surface has cooled to a safe temperature.

Figure 9: Hot surface indicator light

• Do not leave empty cookware on an operating

cooking zone. Cookware will heat very quickly and may be damaged or warped if left on the cooking zone empty.

• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cooktop Display Windows

The range backguard provides a digital window for eac h of the cooking zones located on the cooktop. Power levels and messages are easily monitored and controlled using the window displays in combination with the corresponding controls.

Available Power Level Settings

The cooktop control will display power levels ranging from P (

Figure 10), Hi (Figure 13) to Lo (Figure 11). The settings

between 9 (Figure 14) and 2 (Figure 15) decrease and increase in 1.0 increments. The lowest setting (Figure 11) will display just below the lowest digital setting of 2.

Power Boost Power Level (P)

When setting an induction cooking zone for the highest setting (to the POWER BOOST position), the display will initially show P (Power Boost) power level for up to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automati cally return to the Hi setting (Figure 15). The P setting is only available immediately after activating a cooking zone.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (E)

An error message will be displayed (flashing E) (Figure 12) at power up (or after a power failure) if any of the surface settings were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, set all of the four surface controls to the OFF position. This will reset the surface controls.

Be sure to reset the clock. Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the E message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact an authorized servicer for assistance.

Lockout Window Message (- )

Windows” on page 16.

“Cooktop Display

Do not leave empty cookware on an operating cooking zone. Cookware will heat very quickly and may be damaged or warped if left on the cooking zone empty.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Moving Cookware on a Smooth Cooktop

Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic glass smoothtop. Cookware that has a rough or dirty bottom can mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface. Always start with clean cookware.

Pan Preheat Recommendations

Induction cooking may decrease the amount of time required to preheat a piece of cookware compa red to cooking on a radiant or gas cooktop.

Remember that induction surface cooking will initially heat the cookware very quickly.

• The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat is detected in a cooking zone and will remain on until the cooktop surface has cooled sufficiently.

• If cookware is moved away from the center of an active cooking zone, the cooking zone will become inactive. The setting display will flash until proper cookware is placed in the center of the cooking zone. When cookware is centered on the cooking zone, the zone will resume heating. If the cooking zone has no cookware for three minutes, it will automatically shut off.

Home Canning

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 proce dures.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check the canner bottom.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the cooking zone markings or burner.

• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the 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.

• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.

• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high

heat for an extended amount of time.

Oven Vent Location

WARNING

CAUTION

at handle oven rack

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.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the

oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

• 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 oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.

• 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.

Figure 18: Oven vent Important: In a cooking function the cooling fan will turn on

and remain on during cooking. When the oven cools down the fan turns OFF.

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

Types of oven racks

at oven rack

Figure 19: Oven rack types

• Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs

and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks

Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool. 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 both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Quick Bake

Quick Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. Meats cooked with Quick Bake are crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods can be cooked faster and more evenly with Quick Bake.

The oven may be programmed to Quick Bake at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The factory preset Quick Bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).

Benefits of the Quick Bake feature

• When using Quick Bake (some models) cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

Baking Tips

• For optimum cooking res ults it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

• When using 2 oven racks place racks in positions 3 and 5 for and position cookware as shown in

• For single rack baking use rack position 4.

Roasting Tips

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

Quick Bake. Do not cover foods when dry roasting.

Setting the Sabbath Feature for the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays (some models)

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k.org.

This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking fea ture available while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

You must first set the Bake feature and temperature and, if needed, Bake Time. Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays. The Bake Time option, if set prior to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of Bake Time.

Important: The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 6 hour energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven lig ht is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification made within an active Sabbath mode press the up or down arrow key.

Note: The temperature will increase or decrease with each press by 5°F or 1°C and the change will be accepted automatically.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

Important:

• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function

except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. The following keys will function correctly when the Sabbath feature is active: Up and Down arrow keys, Bake, and OFF. All other keys should not be used once the Sabbath feature is active.

• Y ou may change the oven temperature once baking ha s started. Press Bake, use the arrow keys to raise or lower the oven temperature. Each press of an arrow key will raise or lower the temperature by 5°F (1°C).

• Remember that the oven control will no longer provide audible tones or display any further changes when the Sabbath feature is active.

• The oven will shut-off automatically after completing a bake time and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.

If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest available temper ature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.

IMPORTANT

NOTE

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. While the oven is in opera tion, the oven heats to temperature much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal because the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch.

Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.

To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven door after the self cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

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.

Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self cleaning cycle is complete. The oven may still be very hot.

Adhere to the following self clean precautions:

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings

in or around any part of the oven interior.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 27) or use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the gasket.

• The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The elements may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled.

• Remove all items from the oven and cook top including cookware,all utensils, and any aluminum foil.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert.These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories. If the oven racks are not removed, they will lose their special coating properties and no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity easily.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting the self cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high tem pe ra tures.

• Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water . These areas are shown in white (

Figure 27).

Cooktop Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the gla ss to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic, or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the bottom;

always use clean cookware.

• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.

• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop; they may cause it to crack.

Cooktop Cleaning

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface could be hot from contact with hot cookware, and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

For light to moderate soil:

For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

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 the surface clean.

Figure 29: Cooktop care

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemi cally damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Figure 30: Cooktop cleaning

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceram ic

glass cooktops.

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. 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, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Remove and replace storage drawer (some models)

Use the storage drawer for storing cooking utensils. The drawer can be removed to facilitate cleaning under the range. Use care when handling the drawer.

To remove the drawer:

1. Pull empty drawer out until it stops.

Problem Cause / Solution

Cooktop Problems

Surface element is too hot or not hot enough.

Surface element does not heat or does not heat evenly.

Cookware in the cooking zone is too hot or not hot enough.

Cooking zone does not heat cookware.

Cooking zone does not heat evenly.

Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting. The Power Boost (P) setting is only available immediately after activating a cooking zone

by pressing the + key. The cooktop will remain in Power Boost for up to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automatically change to the High (H) setting.
