IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 is equipped 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 is hot 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
CAUTION
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular 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.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• 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.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which keypad controls each surface cooking zone. Place a pan with food on the cooking zone before
turning it on, and turn the cooking zone off before removing the pan.
Use proper pan size —This appliance is equipped with
induction cooking zones of different sizes. Select utensils specifically manufactured and approved for induction cooking that have flat bottoms that match the induction cooking zone size. Proper relationship of utensil to cooking zone will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent cooking zones—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 cooking zones.
• Never leave surface cooking zones unattended — Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry could be damaged.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Effortless™ Oven Rack system
Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food items. This feature works whenever the oven door is opened or closed.
To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a special dark coating on the left and right rack sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely cool before proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack connector brackets are at the rear of the range and pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of the connector arm to the hole in the door connector
bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The
oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack position to match the length of the connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.
IMPORTANT
Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should be used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other rack in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door from fully closing and may damage the oven door,
oven cavity or the door connector brackets.
If the rack system is not assembled with the connector arms the Effortless™ Oven rack may be used in oven rack positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt to use the Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5. For best results when using a single oven flat rack, place cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Benefits of induction surface cooking
Fast and efficient - The induction cooking zones heat
faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and efficient when simmering.
A cooler cooktop - A unique feature of the induction cooking zones are whether turned on or off, the cooking zones remain cooler than radiant type elements. Virtually no wasted heat is produced since the heat begins with the presence of cookware.
Easy cleanups - The cooler cooking zone makes cleanups easier. Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up easier.
Magnetic detector - The cooking zone has a sensor that automatically detects whether cookware is magnetic. This will reduce accidental “turn-ons” and help avoid setting utensils on hot elements like spatulas or spoons.
Pan size detection - The pan size recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the induction cooking zones to the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More responsive - The induction cooking zones are more responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because only the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.
About the induction cooktop
Your cooktop is equipped with four differently sized induction cooking zones for your convenience.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Use quality cooktop cookware made with magnetic base material
The cooking zones will not activate if the cookware is not constructed with a base magnetic material.
For the best possible surface cooking results, it is recommended to only use high quality heavy gauge cookware on the induction cooking zones.
Be sure to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations when using cookware made for induction cooking.
IMPORTANT
For more detailed information about the types of induction cooktop cookware to purchase and how to properly use induction cookware see the Cookware
Recommendations section.
Moving cookware on smoothtop
It is recommended to always use heavier gauge high quality cookware on the cooking zones. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface. Even high quality cookware can still scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop without being lifted up.
IMPORTANT
Cooktop operational noises
The electronic processes involved with induction cooking may create some unusual background noises. You may hear a slight “buzz” sound when heating with the cooktop.
These noises are a part of the induction cooking process are considered normal.
Some cookware will “buzz” louder depending on the construction or base material used. The “buzz” sound may be more noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold; as the pan heats up, the sound will decrease. If the power level setting is reduced, the sound level will also decrease.
NOTE
When using the induction cooktop, operational noises are more noticeable while cooking at the “Pb” level. Very loud noises are not part of normal induction cooking.
Hot cookware and residual heat
The type and size of cookware, cooking duration, the number of cooking zones in use and their power level settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread beyond the cooking zones.
The induction cooking zones and areas surrounding the cooking zones may become hot enough to cause burns.
Be sure to read all cautions.
Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic
glass smoothtop.
Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms can mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface. Always
start with clean cookware.
Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the surface will likely alter the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the ceramic surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
For more detailed information about the cooktop see “Cooktop maintenance” and “Cooktop cleaning” in the Care & Cleaning section.
CAUTION
Unlike radiant surface elements, the cooking zones will not glow red when they are hot. The glass surface may be hot from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
• Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect
hands from burns.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Cooktop display windows
The range backguard provides a digital window for each 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 control keypads.
Available power level settings
The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Pb (Fig. 1), Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig. 3) and OFF (Fig. 4). The settings between 9.5 (Fig. 5) and 3.0 (Fig. 6) decrease or increase in .5 increments.
The power level settings between 3.0 and 1.2 (Fig. 7) are simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 , providing more precision when setting lower heat levels.
Use the “Suggested power level settings table” provided in Setting Surface Controls section to determine the correct power level setting for the type of food you are preparing.
Pb (Power Boost) power level
When setting an induction cooking zone for Hi, the display will initially show Pb (Power Boost) power level for up to 10 minutes (See Fig. 1). After 10 minutes the cooking zone will automatically return to the Hi (Fig. 2) setting. The Pb setting is only available immediately after activating a cooking zone and pressing the Hi power level keypad.

(HE) Hot surface window message
After using an induction cooking zone the cooktop may become very hot. After turning any cooking zone OFF, the cooktop may remain HOT for some time. The corresponding HE (hot element - Fig. 8) message will remain ON and turn OFF once the cooking zone position on the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 8).
(- -) Lockout window message
The (- -) message will appear whenever the Lockout, Self­clean or Sabbath feature is active (See Fig. 9). Refer to the
Lockout instructions for more details.
IMPORTANT
The induction cooking zones will not operate when the oven is set for Sabbath Day mode. For more details on the Sabbath Day feature, see Setting Oven Controls section.

Induction cookware
When purchasing pans for use on the induction cooktop, look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer as induction ready, induction capable, or a similar statement by the manufacturer that the cookware is specifically designed for induction cooking.
COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE
• Be sure to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations when using cookware made for induction cooking.
IMPORTANT
Not all stainless steel cookware is readily magnetizable;
being made of stainless steel does not assure that the cookware is suitable for induction cooking.
To check if the cookware base material is suitable, use a magnet to test (See Fig. 1). If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct.
Fig. 1
Induction cookware types
The most common induction cookware types available are:
Stainless steel - Generally, excellent for induction cooking. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Before using the induction cooking zones, be sure to carefully read and follow these cookware recommendations and the section about pan sensing.
When using the cooking zones:
• Be sure to use cooktop cookware made with a magnetic base material.
• Use quality cooktop cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution allowing for more even cooking results.
• Check that cookware bottom rests completely and level on cooktop surface. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire induction cooking zone area. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2).
• Be sure cookware is properly balanced and does not tilt from a heavy handle.
• Be sure that the pan size matches the amount of food to be prepared. The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
• Never let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the cooktop.
• Use cookware that meets the minimum and maximum cookware size requirements for each cooking zone.
Cast iron - Good for induction cooking. Cooks evenly. Do not slide cast iron cookware on cooktop. Cast iron cookware with a rough surface will scratch ceramic cooktop.
Porcelain-enamel on ferrous metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on quality of base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktop.

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
Pan sensing
The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require that certain cookware conditions are met before the induction cooking zones can operate.
The cooking zone display windows may display a pan sensing error message. If a cooking zone was activated and no pan or cookware is detected, the affected induction cooking zone display window will flash with the last power level request setting (See Fig. 1).
IMPORTANT
One or more incorrect cookware conditions may be detected by sensors located below the cooking zones. If the cookware does not meet the correct conditions, the cooking zones may not heat. Use the checklist below to correct the problem(s) before attempting to reactivate cooking zones.
Correct Incorrect
• Cookware base material has good magnetic characteristics.
• Cookware base material is non-magnetic.
Fig. 1
Be sure to check that the cookware has met all the correct conditions listed in Fig. 2. Use this checklist as a guide to help to correct the problem or problems before attempting to reactivate any of the cooking zones.
NOTE

Minimum pan size
Each of the four induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in order to activate. The smaller inner ring provided at each cooking zone location (See Fig. 1) is your guide to the correct minimum pan size for that zone.The cookware bottom must fully cover the minimum area for the heating process to begin.
If a pan that is induction capable is centered properly but is too small, the affected cooking zone display will flash the last power level setting and the pan will not heat. Select a larger pan that meets the minimum size requirement to activate the cooking zone.
The illustration provided shows the minimum pan size requirements for each cooking zone location.

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
Power sharing
Your cooktop is equipped with four induction cooking zones controlled by two heating sections. The left-hand and the right-hand heating sections are powered by two independent induction inverters - one inverter for each of the two heating sections (Refer to Figs. 1 & 2).
Two cooking zones in a heating section share the power of one inverter. This is called power sharing.
For example, if two pans are heating on the left side of the cooktop at the same time, the last power level set will be maintained, while the first pan may experience a slight reduction in the power level setting.
IMPORTANT
Power sharing tips
• If cooking two food items simultaneously on the same side of the cooktop remember to set the power level for the food item you would prefer to maintain last.
• To maintain power levels for two food items heating at the same time, place the cookware using opposite sides of the cooktop. The cooktop sensors will use both induction inverters and any power level reduction is avoided (See Fig. 3).

Operating induction cooking zones
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The suggested settings (provided in Fig. 1) may vary slightly depending on the cookware design, quality and amount of food being prepared.
Be sure to use quality cookware that is constructed with magnetic base material and meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements.
Suggested cooking zone power level settings
Settings Type of cooking
Power boost (Pb) Use to start heating pans that
contain large amounts of food or to bring large pans of water to boil
High (8.0-Hi) Start most foods, bring water to a
boil, pan broiling
Medium high (5.0 - 8.0) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
Medium (3.0 - 5.0) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces
and gravies or steam vegetables
To operate induction cooking zones:
Step Press
1. Place induction cookware with food on the desired cooking zone.
2. To activate the cooking zone
press and hold the on-off for the desired position until a tone sounds.
3. Set the power level.
Press lo, med (5.0) or hi.
Each touch of the lo or hi pad will decrease or increase the power level by .5 increments from 9.5 through 3.0. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. lo is the lowest power level available.
4. Once cooking is complete, press
on-off and then remove cookware.
, ,
Medium low (2.0 - 4.0) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
(2.8 or lower is a simmer setting)
Low (Lo - 2.0) Keep warm, melt, simmer (2.8 or
lower is a simmer setting)
Fig. 1
NOTES
The suggested power level settings shown in Fig. 1
are based on cooking with medium sized pans with lids. Be sure to make any further setting adjustments needed for best surface cooking results.
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
CAUTION
Unlike radiant surface elements, the induction cooking zones will not glow red when they are hot.
The glass surface may be hot from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
• Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect
hands from burns.
The cooking zones may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may still be hot from residual heat and burns may occur if the cooktop is touched 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 if placed too close to hot cookware.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Operating induction cooking zones (cont’d) Home Canning
IMPORTANT
The HE (hot element) message may appear in the display windows once a heating element or cooking zone is turned OFF and will remain ON until the heating surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.
• 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 may damage the ceramic cooktop.
If the cookware is moved from the center of any active induction cooking zone, the pan sensor will detect the situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The affected cooking zone display window will flash until the cookware is moved back to center of cooking zone. If the cookware is placed back properly centered on the cooking zone the zone will resume heating. The cooking zone will remember the power level setting for up to 3 minutes before the cooking zone will automatically shut OFF.
Pan preheat recommendations
Be aware that induction cooking may decrease the amount of time normally required to preheat a cooking utensil when compared to cooking with a radiant element cooktop or gas surface burner.
Whenever using the cooktop or oven always pay close attention to all food items cooking and remain very attentive until all the cooking processes are complete.
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.
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
Cookware Recommendations section).
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning using a range with a ceramic glass cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the cooking zone markings.
It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on ranges with ceramic glass or open coil electic cooktops.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking zones heating at the same time. This will cause uneven heating results and could cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Convect bake (all models)
Benefits of the convect feature
— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy. — Multiple rack baking. — No special pans or bakeware needed.
Convect 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. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Layer cakes will have better results using the bake pad. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with the convect feature.
Suggestions for convect baking
1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
2. 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.
3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results (Fig. 1).

Convect roast (all models)
Meats cooked with convect roast will be juicer and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
NOTE
When choosing between the convect features, use the convect keypad to toggle between convect bake,
convect roast or convect broil (some models) choices.
Suggestion for convect roast
1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using convect roast.
2. Since convect roast cooks food faster, 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 is obtained.
3. Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.
To set convect roast (convection roast) with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

NOTE
* Some models are not equipped with the Convect broil feature. When using the convect key to toggle between the convect features models without the convection broil feature will only show the Convect Bake and Convect Roast option settings in the display.
Suggestions for convect broil:
1. Be sure to carefully follow all the recommended broil pan and insert instructions and the directions for placing the oven racks as provided in the “Broil” section in this Use & Care Guide.
2. Since convect broil cooks food faster, 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 is obtained.
3. Close the oven door when using convect broil.
Setting convect convert
The convect convert feature allows you to convert any baking recipe using the convect (convection) feature. The control uses the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature for convection baking. Convect convert can only be set with the convect bake feature.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
To Set the Sabbath Feature (for use on the
Jewish Sabbath & Holidays)
For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please vist the web at
http:\\www.star-k.org.
To program the oven to bake at 350°F and then activate the Sabbath Day feature:
Step Press
1. Be sure that the clock is set with the correct time of day.
WARNING
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.
The bake time and delay start pads are used to set the Sabbath feature. The Sabbath feature may only be used with the bake feature. The oven temperature may be set higher or lower after setting the Sabbath feature (the oven temperature adjustment feature should be used only during Jewish Holidays), however the display will not be visible and no audible tones will be provided when a change occurs.
Once the oven is properly set using the bake feature with the Sabbath mode active, the oven will remain continuously ON until cancelled. The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 6-Hour Energy Saving feature.
If the oven light(s) are needed during the Sabbath, press the oven light pad before activating the Sabbath feature. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath feature is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath feature is turned OFF. If the oven light needs to be off, be sure to turn the oven light off before activating the Sabbath feature.
It is recommended that any oven temperature change with the Sabbath feature active be followed with 2 presses of the start pad. This will insure the oven remains ON even if the attempt to set the oven temperature was lower or higher than the oven control can accept. If the oven temperature is set incorrectly, the oven temperature will default to 170°F or 500°F. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.
2. Arrange the oven racks and place the food in the oven and close door.
3. Press bake.
4. Press start.
5. If a timed bake or delayed timed bake is needed then enter the time in this step. If not, skip this step and continue to step 6. Refer to the bake time or delay start instructions. Remember the oven will shut-off after completing a timed bake or delay start and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays. The maximum delay start time is 11 hours & 59 minutes.
6. Press and hold both the + bake time and delay start pads
for at least 3 seconds simultaneously. The control will beep and SAb will appear in the display (See Fig. 1). The oven is properly set for the Sabbath once SAb appears in the display.
IMPORTANT
The induction cooktop will not operate when the oven is set for Sabbath Day feature. The cooktop displays will show the cooktop lockout “ - - ” messages whenever the Sabbath Day feature is active (Fig. 2).

Should you experience a power failure or interruption, the oven will shut-off. When power is restored the oven will not turn back on automatically. The oven will remember that it is set for the Sabbath and the oven display will show the message “SF” for Sabbath failure (Fig. 1).
NOTES
If a delay start time longer than 12 hours (maximum of 24 hours) in advance is desired, set the display mode for the 24 hour setting. For detailed instructions see the
section “Setting 12 or 24 hour display modes”. It is not advised to attempt to activate any other program
feature except BAKE while the Sabbath feature is active. ONLY the following key pads will function correctly with the Sabbath feature: 0-9 number pads, bake, start & cancel. ALL OTHER KEYPADS should not be used once the Sabbath feature is activated.
You may change the oven temperature once baking has started. Press bake , enter the oven temperature change (170 to 500F°) and press start (for Jewish Holidays only). Remember that the oven control will
no longer beep or display any further changes
once the oven is set for the Sabbath feature. If the keep warm feature was activated and the
Sabbath feature was set, the keep warm feature will automatically shut-off the oven after 3 hours.

SELF-CLEANING
Self-cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high 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.
Your oven allows you to set 3 different self-cleaning cycle durations. A 3-hour cleaning time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a 4-hour time option for heavier burnt-on soils.
IMPORTANT
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. 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.
CAUTION
During the self-cleaning 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 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 completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage (See Fig. 1).
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. 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 spillovers. 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 spillovers 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.
Fig. 1
CAUTION
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Clean 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 (See Fig. 1).

6. Press start.
IMPORTANT
As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven door lock will begin to close automatically. “door Loc” will appear in the display (See Fig. 1). DO NOT open the oven door while “door Loc” is on (allow 15 seconds for the oven door to completely lock).
Fig. 3
If it becomes necessary to stop a self-clean cycle once it has been activated:
1. Press cancel.
2. Allow enough time for the oven to cool and for the “door OPn” message to appear (Fig. 4). When this message turns off the oven door may be opened. If a self-clean cycle was active, then stopped or interrupted by power failure, it may be necessary to run a self­clean cycle again to thoroughly clean the oven. Please be aware that you may need to allow up to four hours before self-clean can be started again.
Fig. 4
CAUTION
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 force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and avoid possible burns when opening the door after the self­cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
NOTES
Once the door has locked “CLn” will appear in the display indicating the oven will begin the self-clean process (Fig. 2).
Fig. 1

CARE & CLEANING
Cooktop maintenance
IMPORTANT
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
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:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
Cooktop cleaning
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
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 a few 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.
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.
• 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.
30°
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the 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 cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
