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 at 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 7. Do not attempt to use the
Effortless™ Oven rack in rack position 1.

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 cookware (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 3 & 5. For best results
when using a single oven at rack, place cookware on rack
positions 3 or 4.
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.
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 (See Fig. 2).
The Element ON indicator lights are located on the
control panel above each radiant element control knob
and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A
quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy
check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The
Hot Surface indicator light located on the control panel
will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and
will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a
MODERATE level.

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 efcient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTES
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the
surface 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.

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 exible
because you may set just the smaller inner portion as a
single element or both inner and outer portions can 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:
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.
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.
● Curved and warped pan.
● Flat bottom and straight
sides.
● Tight tting lids.
● Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
● Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepares and the size of
the surface element.
● Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
● Easy to clean.
● Always match pot
diameter to element size.
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).
● Pan larger than cooking area
marked on cooktop by more
than one-half inch or 12mm.
● Heavy handle tilts pan.
● Pan is smaller or larger
than heating area marked
on cooktop

IMPORTANT
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting point
of some cookware may be reached if left on the cooktop
empty and then can bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the
cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be sure to
follow all the cookware manufacturer’s suggestions when
using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
