Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the radiant element power level setting needed for best cook ing results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in

Figure 2.

Figure 1: Testing cookware

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See about the ceramic cooktop, refer to the“Cooktop Mainte-

nance (cont’d)” on page 34.

Figure 2). For detailed information

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). If aluminum p ans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (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.

• 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.

• Curved and warped pans.

• Cookware larger than

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is smaller than the

cooking area marked on cooktop by more than one-half inch or 12mm.

heating area marked on cooktop.

• Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

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.

(White glass cooktops only). 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 phenomenon is normal and the glass will return to its original white color after it has completely cooled down.

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

NOTE

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 under neath. 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.

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.

Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensil) is not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause potential fire hazard.

Always lift cookware before moving on ceramic glass cooktop. Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms can scratch the ceramic cooktop. Always start with clean cookware.

Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

• Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

• The element on and hot surface indicator lights will glow when the element is turned on and will continue to glow after the control knob is turned to the OFF position. It will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned off.

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 off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Page 11

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

CAUTION

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

When a burner is turned on the ELEMENT ON indicator light will glow. The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on until the surface has cooled to a safe tempera ture after the burner is turned off. The ELEMENT ON indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

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 cann er, 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 States 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.

Home Canning Do’s and Don’ts

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home

canning.

• Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

Surface Control Settings

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the surface element power level setting needed for best cooking results.

Use Table 1 to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The hot surface light will turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned off.

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Warmer Zone

The warmer zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the warmer zone until the hot surface indicator light is off. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the feature to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, cassero les, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warmer zone.

Figure 5: Warmer zone control knob To set the keep warmer zone control:

1. Turn the warmer zone contro l knob clockwise to the ON

position. The warmer zone uses a pre-set temperature designed to keep foods at serving temperature.

CAUTION

Bridge Element

On the left side of the cooktop there are two single burners with a bridge element between them. When turn e d on , the bridge element allows for a larger cooking area by cycling at the same temperature as the left front element. For th e bridge to be operational, the left front burner must be on. When the left rear burner is also on the entire lef t side of the cooktop can accommodate specialized cookware.

Use only cookware specifically designed for use with the bridge element.

The bridge is located on the left side of the cooktop and must be activated in two steps.

To operate the bridge element:

1. Turn on the front and rear controls to the desired level

of heat.

2. Turn the bridge control to the ON position.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The hot surface indicator light will turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned off. The message may remain on even though the controls are turned off.

Note: The heat level of the bridge element is regulated by the heat setting of the front control and will cycle on and off with the front element.

3. Be sure to turn the bridge control to the off position when finished cooking.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

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 7: Do not block oven vent

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 or any oth er oven liners or materials 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.

Figure 8: Oven rack types

• Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs

and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

• The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional step down positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design positions the base of the rack about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions. To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven rack in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.

• The fully extendable glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

All oven racks should be removed before a clean operation. Racks left in the oven during the high heat of the clean function can easily discolor. The ability of the racks to easily slide in and out along the rack positions may also be affected.

Remove all oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual. Never pick up hot oven racks or parts without using oven mitts.

• To Arrange: Always arrange the oven racks when the

oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

• 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.

Removing and Replacing the Glide Racks

The fully extendable Glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

To remove - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Using one hand, reach through handle opening and grasp both the upper and lower portions of the glide rack as shown in

Figure 9: Grasp both rack sections

While holding both sections, pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached (

Figure 9.

Figure 10).

Figure 11: Remove and replace using both hands

The rack portions move independently and should be held together when removing and replacing.

To replace - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Grasp both upper and lower portions of g lide 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.

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.

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the oven with aluminum foil or with any other materials or oven liners. Doing so will alter heat distribu tion and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During clean the oven temperatures will be hot enough to melt foil.

Setting Bake

Baking tips For best bake results:

• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as

cookies, cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convec tion function for best results.

• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven.

• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place flat rack in position 5 and the glide rack in position 1. (See

Figure 15).

• When using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in

Figure 16. Allow at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm)

of space between cookware for proper air circulation.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shin y bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

Figure 15: Rack positions Figure 16: Pan spacing

Use the Bake function whenever a recipe calls for baking using normal temperatures. When the set ba ke temperature is reached the control will sound a chime to alert that the oven is fully preheated. The convection fan will be on during preheat and then turn off and on occasionally as needed.

Bake may be set for any temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

To set a bake for 350°F:

1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired po sitions for the

item(s) to be baked.

2. Turn the oven mode selector to the BAKE position.

3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.

4. The PREHEAT and the oven temperature light will turn

on and sound an acceptance tone. The oven will begin heating.

5. When the set temperature is reached the PREHEAT light will turn off and a reminder chime will sound alerting you to place food in oven. Set either timer to keep track of actual cooking time if necessary.

6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to

the OFF positions.

Note: Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the cooking time necessary for best results.

Convection Cooking

This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven ca n be programmed for convection baking at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F. The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven heat uniformly an d co ntinuously around the oven ( tion allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time.

Benefits of convection cooking:

• Multiple rack baking.

• Some foods may cook faster, saving time and energy. Convection baking tips:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

cakes, biscuits, and breads.

• For single rack baking, position the rack so that food is in the center of the oven.

• If your recipe cooking temperature has already been converted for convection baking, there is no need to reduce your oven temperature. If not, see “Setting

Convection Convert” on page 21 for further instructions

on temperature conversion.

Setting Convection Bake

To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to 375°F:

1. Arrange interior oven racks.

2. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT BAKE.

3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 375°F.

4. The oven temperature light will blink before sounding a

chime confirming the setting. The convection fan will turn on and the oven will begin heating.

5. Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven will sound a chime indicating the food items can be placed in the oven.

6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF positions.

• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place flat rack in position 5 and the glide rack in position 1 (See oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 18. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circulation.

• Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces oven temperature and may extend cooking time.

• Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on pans with no sides or low sides to allow air to circulate.

Setting Convection Convert

Convection convert automatically converts a standard baking recipe for convection baking. Convection convert may only be used with convection bake.This feature must be set before selecting the oven mode and oven tempera ture by using the user preference setting in the oven display.

Because convection baking generally cooks food faster than normal baking, food items should be checked for doneness before the suggested normal recipe cook times.

To set convection convert:

1. The oven temperature selector must be in the OFF position. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT BAKE.

2. Press and hold both the oven light icon and the clock

icon for about 3 seconds until Aut° (automatic convec tion convert) appears in the display.

Setting Convection Roast

Convection roast 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 exterior

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.

Convection roasting tips:

• Use a broiler pan and grid, as well as a roasting rack

(available by mail order). The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent spatters. The roasting rack will hold the meat. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan. Do not use the broiler p an without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil or any other material.

• Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing

food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.

• Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the cooking time necessary for best results.

• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan and place on rack position 1 (offset rack).

Figure 19: Convection convert off (L) and on (R)

Press either the – or + key until On appears. Turn the oven mode selector to the OFF position. The oven

will accept the convection convert setting with an accep tance chime and the control will return to display the time of day. The convection bake function will now automatically convert normal baking temperatures for convection baking.

To change back to regular convection baking, repeat the same steps in this process and press the + or - key until OFF appears. Once the control accepts the change with a chime, turn the oven mode selector to OFF.

To set oven for convection roasting:

1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven.

2. Turn oven mode selector to CONVECT ROAST.

3. Turn oven temperature selector to desired roasting

temperature.

CAUTION

WARNING

Using the Broil Feature

Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks and cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. The insert is slotted and allows the grease to drain away from the meat and the high heat of the broiler into the broiler pan. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil or any other material; the exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, do not open oven door, turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put wa ter or flou r on the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause person al injury.To prevent grease splattering, use the broil pan and insert when broiling

To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease splattering, do not use the roasting rack when broiling.

To set broil:

1. Arrange oven racks while oven is cool.

2. Turn the mode selector knob to broil. The corre-

sponding indicator light will flash.

3. Turn the temperature selector knob to broil. The indicator light will turn on and remain lit. For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.

4. Place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Broil with the oven door closed.

5. Pull oven rack out to the stop position before turing food to broil on second side.

6. Turn the temperature and the selector knobs to OFF

when broiling is complete or to cancel broil

Meat Probe

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food. Before using the meat probe read the important information listed here:

• The probe feature must be set before setting the cooking mode and oven temperature.

• If a timer is running when the meat probe is plugged in, the control will sound a triple beep once and the timer will keep running. The timer must be canceled before the probe temperature can be set.

• If the meat probe is unplugged during cooking function, or plugged in during BROIL, the oven will stop cooking and turn off.

• If the meat probe is plugged in while the oven is in a function that allows for the meat probe, the control will sound a triple beep indicating that the meat probe is not allowed to be plugged in while the oven is running. After the alert, the oven will continue to cook to the set oven temperature.

• If no cooking mode is selected within 30 seconds of setting the target temperature, the oven mode indicator light will stop blinking. The display will continue to show the meat probe settings until an allowable cooking cycle is selected.

• When the meat probe is set correctly, the control will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. When active, the internal food temperature is visible in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to check the thermometer.

Note: If the meat probe is plugged while the oven is in a function which allows probe cooking, it may be set the following way:

Proper placement of probe in food.

• Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the

center of the thickest part of meat or food (

Figure 24).

For best results, do not allow the probe to cont act bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.

• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint.

• For meatloaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food.

• When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.

• For whole poultry or turkey , fully insert the pr obe into the

thickest part of the breast.

Figure 24: Placing probe in poultry To set probe:

1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on

the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.

2. Plug the connector end of the probe into the probe receptacle while the oven is still cool.

NOTE

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and

temperatures.

Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.

If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed by accessing the UPO (User Programmable Offset).

Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting higher or lower than the recommended temperatur e. The baking results should help you to decide how mu ch of an adjustment is needed.

Important: Befo re making a temperatur e adjustment, make sure both the oven mode and oven temperature control knobs are in the OFF position.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1. When the oven is idle, press and hold both the light icon

and the clock icon at the same time for a few seconds until the display sounds an acceptance chime. AUd should appear in the display.

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

Self Cleaning

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.

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 30). 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.

• Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils, and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.

During the clean cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the clea n 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 clean cycle is complete. The oven may still be very hot.

• 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 clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.

• 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 30).

Figure 30: Clean around the oven door gasket

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

Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance during a clean cycle; the range may become very hot to the touch.

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the range with aluminum foil or with any other materials or oven liners. Doing so will destroy heat distri bution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior a nd aluminum fo il will melt to the interior surface of the oven.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Clean

If you are planning to use the oven directly after a clean cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

It is recommended to use a 2 hour clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.

To set the controls for a 3 hour clean cycle and shut off automatically:

1. Turn both the oven mode and oven temper ature

selectors to CLEAN. The display will show a 3 hour time (normal clean) and the

– and + keys.

Figure 33: Setting 4 hour clean

Once the control accepts the clean time the display will flash a reminder for the user to REMOVE RACKS.

Figure 34: Display prompting user to remove racks

The

Figure 31: Oven set for 3 hour clean

2. If a 3 hour clean is desired, the control will accept the

time within 3 seconds. However, the user may select a 2 or 4 hour clean by using the – or + keys to change to the desired clean time and then allow the control to accept the change.

Figure 32: Setting 2 hour clean

REMOVE RACKS notification will flash for a few seconds

prompting the user to remove all oven racks. If the oven door is opened as this time the display will show CLO to indicate that the door must be closed before the clean cycle can begin. If the door remains open for more than 3 minutes, the clean function will be canceled.

Figure 35: Message of open door that must be closed before oven can begin the clean cycle

When the oven is set to run the clean cycle, the motor door lock will begin locking the oven door. Do not open the oven door while the lock motor is running or when any locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is completely locked in about 15 seconds.

5. When the clean cycle ends the oven will be too hot for

the door to unlock until the oven cools to a safe temper ature. This may take up to an hour. During this time the display will show Hot along with the door lock icon.

6. At this point CLn will appear in the display and the lock icon will blink to signal the end of the clean cycle with a chime. The internal oven temperature will still be hot enough to cause burns.

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

The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after they are turned off or after a clean when the

door is opened. These elements may still be hot and may cause burns if touched before they have cooled.

Note: Once the clean cycle ends the oven will not be available for another clean for 4 hours.

To cancel a clean before it ends:

Turn both the oven selector knob and th e oven tempe rature knob to the OFF position.

Cooktop Maintenance

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

Prior to using the cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most grocery, hardware, and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. 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 ab r asio n s.

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 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 bottom;

replace with clean cookware before using.

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

• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.

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

Cooktop Cleaning

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.

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

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

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 surface clean.

CARE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

WARNING

Cooktop Maintenance (cont’d)

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content 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 illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

• 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 chlorin e ble ac h, 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.

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 ceramic glass cooktops.

General Cleaning

Refer to “Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven” on page 32 for more detailed information about cleaning specific parts of the 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.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

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 or any other oven liners to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper inst allation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Figure 41: Cleaning products to avoid

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop

can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminu m 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Caring for Your Glide Racks

Caution: Handle oven racks only when they are cool. After

cooking or after the fresh-clean cycle, racks will be very hot and can cause burns.

Important Notes:

• Remove all oven racks, including ladder racks, before

starting a clean cycle.

• Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray , or other oil- based lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer.

• It is important that the parts of the rack that contact the oven sides always have a light coating of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every fresh-clean cycle and when the rack becomes difficult to reposition in the oven.

To lubricate the glide rack:

1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a

large flat surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth. Fully extend the rack.

2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track using a cloth or sponge.

4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

5. Turn the rack upside down and apply graphite lubrication to the insides of the loading guides.

6. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the bottom of the “V” and the glide channels. Keeping the frame sides lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when changing rack positions.

3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Apply to loading guides, and rotation pin. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.

8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.

Solutions to Common Problems:

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may sa ve yo u tim e and ex pe n se. Possible solutions are provided with the problem listed:

Problem Solution

Poor baking results. Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the oven and

space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. See “Adjusting

the Oven Temperature” on page 28 if you feel the oven is too ho t o r col d.

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent.

Oven smokes excessively when broiling.

Clean does not work. Oven control not set properly. See “Setting Clean” on page 30. Oven racks discolored or do not slide

easily.

Oven portion does not operate The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the oven. See

Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe up excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when using broil, see

Incorrect setting. Follow the “Using the Broil Feature” instructions on page 24. Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance between

the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.

Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.

Oven racks left in oven cavity during clean. Remove oven racks from oven cavity before starting a clean cycle. Clean by using a mild abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instruc tions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in oven.

"Setting the Clock" on page 18. Before setting the oven, both mode and temperature knobs should be set to OFF. If the indicator lights above oven mode or oven temp selection knobs remain flashing, the oven

will not heat. Turn both knobs to OFF, wait 5-10 se conds, then set the oven mode and oven temp again.

If the oven mode and oven temp combination is mismatched, the oven will not heat. For example: bake mode with broil temperature, or clean mode with a cooking temperature. These combinations will cause an error. Turn both knobs to OFF, wait 5-10 seconds, then set the oven mode and oven temp again, with a correct mode and temperature. For example: broil mode should have broil temperature selected; clean mode should have clean temperature selected. Review the section of this manual for the cooking mode you wish to use.

Set both mode and temperature selection knobs to OFF when finished cooking.
