area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area
before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before
removing the cookware.
• Cookware handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elements — To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the cookware should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
other cooking areas.
• Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
cookware with at bottoms that match the surface unit
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking area
will improve efciency.
• Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check
the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
• Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes
in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes
in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.

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

offset
oven rack
The at oven rack or at handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible locations between the standard positions.
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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
About the ceramic glass cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The design of the
ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element
underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
at-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.
element ON indicator light
Fig. 1
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 efcient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.
Element ON & hot surface indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the
backguard — the on indicator light and the hot surface
indicator light.
The element on indicator light will glow when any surface
element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator
light after cooking is an easy check to be sure the surface
controls are turned OFF (See Fig. 1).
The hot surface indicator light will glow when any
surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until
the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level (See
Fig. 2).
hot surface indicator light
Fig. 2
NOTES
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 smoothtop. Cycling
at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if
the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if
the cookware bottom is not at.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning and
Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care
Manual.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Types of cooktop elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on
the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element
available. The single radiant element will have one round
outline pattern shown (keep warm zone is designed
to keep food warm only). The dual radiant element is
expandable; you may set the smaller inner portion as a
single element or both inner and outer portions may be set
to heat together (See Fig. 1).

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:
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will inuence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.
Cookware should have at bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface heating element (See
Fig. 2). Check for atness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 3). For more information
about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop Cleaning &
Maintenance” in the Care & Cleaning section.
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of
food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across
the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which
will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
