IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating

unit. Place pan of food on the element before turning

it on, and turn the element off before removing the pan.

•

Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with

one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having ﬂ at bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface will also improve efﬁ ciency .

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward

and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of

ﬂ ammable 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 surface unit.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop—The Searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a ﬁ re.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or ﬁ re or a short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

Page 5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

FOR GLASS COOKTOP ONLY

• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop— If

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualiﬁ ed technician immediately.

• Clean Cooktop Glass 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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp Objects.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warm

& Serve Drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side

of the appliance when opening the door/drawer of a hot appliance. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/drawer.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is

vented at the front above the oven door. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

WARNING

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR OVEN

• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch ﬁ re. Exhaust fan

ventilation hoods and grease ﬁ lters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch ﬁ re. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/Aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the appliance listed in this Owner’s Guide. Before

using the self-cleaning cycle of the appliance, remove all utensils stored in the appliance.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the appliance.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks

air ﬂ ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a ﬁ re hazard.

• Placement of Oven/Warm & Serve Drawer (if

equipped) Racks. Always place oven/Warm & Serve

Drawer (if equipped) racks in desired location while appliance is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven element or interior of the oven/Warm & Serve Drawer (if equipped).

CAUTION

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

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 ﬂ at-bottom 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.

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 efﬁ cient cooking, turn off the element sever al 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 Element On indicator light and the hot surface indicator lights.

The element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel (Figure 1) between the two radiant element control knob and will glow when a surface element is turned ON.

The hot surface indicator light located on the cooktop (Figure 2) will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Hot surface indicator light location

Figure 2

NOTE

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 ﬂ at.

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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will inﬂ uence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figures 1 & 2.

Cookware should have ﬂ at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (Figure

1). Check for ﬂ atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 2).

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 & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass 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 above).

Stainless steel- Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast iron- A poor 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.

Figure 1

Figure 2

NOTE

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

Surface cooking settings

Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing. Note: The size and type of cookware used will inﬂ uence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Recommended Setting for Surface Element

Setting Type of Cooking

HIGH (HI) Start most foods; bring water to a boil

and pan broiling.

MEDIUM HIGH (7-8)

Single radiant surface elements

The cooktop has 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the left rear position (Figure 1) and the right rear position (Figure 1).

To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface

element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure 2). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to ﬁ nish cooking. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

NOTE

The surface “Element On” indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is ﬁ nished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Figure 1

NOTE

See Recommended Setting for Surface Element table on page 8.

CAUTION

Do not place plastic items such as salt and •

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on cooktop when it is in use. These

items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch ﬁ re if placed too close to the surface elements.

• 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.

Figure 2

CAUTION

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.

Page 10

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Dual Surface Radiant Element

The cooktop is equipped with 2 dual radiant surface elements located at the left front (Figure 1) and the right front (Figure 1) position. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Figure 2). The symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Figure 3). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob to the inner coil symbol for smaller cookware (Figure 4) or to inner and outer coil symbol for larger cookware (Figure 4). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to ﬁ nish cooking. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface

control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Page 11

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented Through the front panel and visible when the oven door is open. 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 the vent. Doing so may cause cooking failures, ﬁ re or damage to the appliance.

CAUTION

Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the components have cooled down.

Air circulation in the oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown.

For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Arranging oven racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven. To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace an oven rack, ﬁ t the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Page 17

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

SETTING BROIL

This mode is best for meats, ﬁ sh and poultry up to 1” thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 2 & 3). The optional broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the oven broiler. The oven can be programmed to broil at Lo (400°F) or Hi (550°F).

Broiling Tips:

• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes.

• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.

• Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.

• Always use the broiler pan and its cover when broiling. It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high heat of the broil element (see Figure 2).

• For best broiling results, broil with the oven door in the broil stop position (see Figure 1).

• If using a Searing Grill (available by mail order), preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing your meat.

• DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch ﬁ re.

Accessories available via the enclosed brochure:

Searing Grill

To set a Broil:

1. Arrange the interior oven rack

2. Press the BROIL pad. “- -” will appear in the display.

3. Press the or pad until the desired broil setting level appears in the display. Press the pad for HI broil or the pad for LO broil. Most foods may be broiled at the HI broil setting. Select the LO broil setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done stage.

4. Preheat for 2 minutes before broiling.

5. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan insert. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broiler insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.

6. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Make sure the oven door is in the broil

stop position (See Figure 1).

7. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Note: Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

Page 19

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 ﬁ ne powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

IMPORTANT

Adhere to the following cleaning 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.

• 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.

• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not removed, they will lose their special coating properties and will no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity effortlessly.

• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven

cavity before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or ﬁ re 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 ﬁ lling) 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 sufﬁ ciently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

What to Expect during Cleaning

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may ﬂ ame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

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.

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 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).

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.

CARE & CLEANING

Ceramic glass cooktop cleaning & maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to

maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the ﬁ rst time, apply the recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective ﬁ nish 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 bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do

not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work

surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.

Cleaning recommendations for the ceramic glass cooktop

CAUTION

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

WARNING

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.

The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non- abrasive plastic type no-scratch 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 CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non- abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

IMPORTANT

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

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, then apply a few drops of cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Page 23

CARE & CLEANING

Cleaning recommendations for the ceramic glass cooktop (continued)

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils 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 ceramic glass cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difﬁ cult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, 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 Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
