discolored, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly.

High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is

lower.

Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster.

Foods may take longer to bake.

Doughs may rise faster.

If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging.

If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.

Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as needed.

Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.

Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce evaporation.

Increase bake time or oven temperature.

Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice.

Cooking Results

Small adjustments may ﬁ x a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.

Result Recommendation

Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Cooking Tips

Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.

Situation Recommendation

Baking

Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Setting the Clock” on page 23.

When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.

Preheat Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and

breads. Insert food immediately after the beep.

Checking food Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may

reduce baking performance.

Bake or Convection Bake Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For

best performance, see “Convection Bake” on page 27.

Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air cir-

culation.

meats and poultry.

Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting time.

Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food type. You can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained.

Use the meat probe included with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery and home goods stores.

Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.

Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements below a smooth glass surface. The designs on the ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the surface elements underneath. Always match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Only ﬂ at-bottomed cookware should be used.

Prior to using your cooktop for the ﬁ rst time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and bu with a clean paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective ﬁ nish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use, and their settings will all a ect 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.

IMPORTANT

• The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface.

• Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.

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 o . The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the o cycle.

For e cient cooking, turn the element o several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

CAUTION

Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned o . The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature.

Do not place ﬂ ammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range 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 use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reﬂ ector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or ﬁ re.

• Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface (without a cooking utensil) is not recommended, as di cult cleaning will result, and foods may smoke and cause potential ﬁ re hazard.

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

NOTE

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and o , even at the HI setting.

• Be sure to read detailed instructions for coil cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning” section and “Before You Call” checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

IMPORTANT

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

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will inﬂ uence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 1: Testing cookware” and “Figure 2: Proper cookware”.

Check for ﬂ atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 1: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have ﬂ at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.

Figure 1: Testing cookware

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).

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (see Aluminum).

• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.

• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor, but will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

• Glass - Slow heat conductor.

• 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.

Figure 2: Proper cookware

• Curved and warped pans.

• Cookware larger than element by more than one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is much smaller

than the element.

IMPORTANT

Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the element. The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly, especially if left empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for use and care of cookware.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two di erent surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Types of Ceramic Cooktop Elements

The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size and type of element underneath. The elements on your cooktop depend on the model.

• A single radiant element has one circle. Some models have a large Simmer to Boil element for large pots

• A dual radiant element (some models) has two circles. The dual radiant element may be set using only the smaller inner element or both inner and outer elements may be set to heat together for a larger surface.

• Dual elements allow more ﬂ exibility with the size of cookware.

• A keep warm element (some models) has one small circle. It is used to keep food warm after cooking. The keep warm element is not designed to cook food.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is ﬁ nished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned o .

The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after the burner is turned o until the surface has cooled to a safe temperature.

Figure 7: Element On and Hot Surface indicators

Home Canning

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 procedures.

• Use only a completely ﬂ at bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is ﬂ at. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• 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 setting when ﬁ rst 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.

Single radiant surface elements (all models)

To operate single radiant elements (including Simmer to Boil elements):

1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction (Figure 8) to the desired setting (refer to the Table 1).

3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to ﬁ nish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed (see Figure 8).

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.

Suggested radiant surface element settings

The suggested settings found in Table 1 below are based on cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Settings Type of Cooktop

High (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring

water to a boil, pan broiling

Medium High (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil,

fry, deep fat fry

Medium (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil,

thicken sauces and gravies or steam vegetables

Medium Low (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking,

poach, stew

Low (1) Low temperature cook-

ing

Low (LO) Keep warm, melt

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Figure 8: Surface control knob

CAUTION

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned o . The element may still be hot and burns may occur if the element is touched before it has cooled su ciently.

Do not place ﬂ ammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on top of the range 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 use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reﬂ ector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or ﬁ re.

NOTES

• The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food being cooked will inﬂ uence the setting needed for best cooking results.

• The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when ﬁ nished cooking is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain on AFTER the control knob is turned to the “OFF” position and will stay on until the heating surface area has cooled su ciently.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Dual radiant surface elements (some models)

Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of the dual radiant element to set. The symbol indicates a setting for the inner element only. The symbol indicates a setting for both inner and outer elements.

To operate a dual radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to begin heating both the inner and outer elements. If only the inner element is needed for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counter-clockwise (see Figure 9).

3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to ﬁ nish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

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.

You may switch from either single or dual element setting at any time during cooking. See “Table 1: Suggested settings for radiant elements” on page

17.

Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot.

Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming 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 di cult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils, and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

To activate the Warm Zone:

Press the Warm Zone button on the control panel twice.

CAUTION

• Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the cooktop, including the keep warm zone, as cookware and plates will be hot.

• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned o . The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled su ciently.

• Do not place ﬂ ammable 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. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch ﬁ re if placed too close to the surface elements.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

IMPORTANT

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.

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 o the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Figure 11: Oven vent

WARNING

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or ﬁ re. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

CAUTION

Types of Oven Rack

at oven rack

Figure 10: Oven rack types

Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking

needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Flat or O set Oven Racks

Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.

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 both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny ﬁ nish.

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.

Air Sous Vide

Air Sous Vide is ideal for cooking meats to achieve tenderness without overcooking.

How Sous Vide Works

Sous vide is a French phrase meaning “under vacuum”. In sous vide cooking, food is vacuum-sealed in plastic pouches, which are then placed in a cooking medium of hot water or air.

Your appliance uses hot air circulating around sealed pouches to cook food slowly at relatively low temperatures: 100°F to 205°F (38°C to 94°C). Sous vide cooking is not fast, but with a little planning, it can be very easy.

Advantages of Sous Vide

• Food does not lose ﬂ avor or aroma due to evaporation.

• Vitamins and minerals do not escape during cooking.

• The low cooking temperature leaves meat and ﬁ sh more tender.

• Less spice is needed, as food keeps more of its natural ﬂ avor.

• The low cooking temperature greatly reduces the risk of overcooking. The food never gets hotter than the intended serving temperature.

• Timing is less critical. If di erent dishes are ﬁ nishing at di erent times, food that has reached serving temperature can wait, since it stays at serving temperature in the cooking medium.

Food Safety

Because sous vide cooks at relatively low temperatures, safe food handling is especially important.:

• Always keep raw food in safe conditions before you start cooking.

• Clean the raw food before you start cooking.

• Use “Table 5: Sous Vide Table” on page 34 to ﬁ nd the recommended cooking time and temperature for the food.

• Only use temperatures below 140°F (60°C) to cook foods that can be safely eaten raw.

• Food should be between 34°F and 37°F (normal refrigerator temperatures) when preparing to place food in sous vide vacuum pouch.

• Sous vide dishes are best served immediately after cooking. If food is not served immediately, use an ice bath to chill it quickly and then keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days.

• Do not use sous vide to reheat leftovers.

• Do not allow raw food to contact cooked food during preparation. Do not use the same tools on di erent food items without washing them.

• If the recipe includes raw eggs, keep the whites and yolks from touching the outsides of the shells.

• Blanching in boiling water or searing in a pan before sous vide cooking can destroy surface bacteria to improve food safety.

• Do not use Delay Start with the Sous Vide function.

• Do not use a meat probe with the Sous Vide function. Food needs to be sealed air-tight in a pouch for sous vide cooking.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Vacuum Sealing

Sous vide cooking in your oven requires a vacuum sealer and vacuum pouches. The pouch needs to be sealed so no air or liquid can leak out. A pouch that leaks will produce poor cooking results and may produce smoke and residue that can burn during future cooking or when using self-clean. Follow the instructions that come with your sealer and pouches.

• Use pouches that are speciﬁ ed for your sealer and for sous vide cooking.

• Do not reuse vacuum pouches.

• Put food in one layer in the pouch for even cooking.

• It is recommended to use one food portion per vacuum pouch.

• For most sous vide cooking, use the highest vacuum setting for best cooking results.

• Make sure that the closure of the pouch is clean to get a good seal. If cooking at higher temperatures (above 160º F / 71º C), double-seal the pouch.

• Vacuum pouches are solely for sous vide cooking and should not be used for regular baking or broiling.

Sous Vide Cooking

1. Prepare

• Start with the freshest, highest quality food

possible.

• Clean and cut the ingredients.

2. Package

Slow Cook

Use Slow Cook for foods that will cook or braise at low temperature for a long period of time.

For best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.

• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position 2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various bakeware when cooking multiple food items.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may need to be extended.

• Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour.

Slow cooking meats may result in the outside of the meat turning dark; this is normal.

To set Slow Cook:

1. Press until “SLo C” appears in the display.

Convection Roast

Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and elements to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and ﬂ avors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.

WARNING

Should an oven ﬁ re occur, close the oven door and turn the oven o . If the ﬁ re continues, use a ﬁ re extinguisher. Do not put water or ﬂ our on the ﬁ re. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease ﬁ re to spread and cause personal injury.

CAUTION

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

To use convection roast at a temperature of 350°F (177°C):

1. Press Conv Roast.

2. Set the desired temperature using the number keys or use default of 350°.

3. Press START.

4. Set Cook Time if desired.

5. Press START. Preheating the oven is not neces- sary.

6. When cooking is completed or to cancel Convection Roast press OFF.

2. Press START.

3. Press to choose Level 1, 2, or 3.

4. Press START.

Figure 13: Convection roasting on lower oven racks

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.

• Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.

• Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.

Cooking with Steam

Note: More moisture will be present than during

conventional baking or roasting. Moisture could condense on the handle or in the door, and depending on the conditions in your kitchen possibly drip onto the ﬂ oor.

Steam Cooking Tips: Oven Positioning

• Use ﬂ at rack in the position in the oven for most foods for Steam Roast.

• Lowest position for poultry.

Preparing

• Use 2-1/2 cups of water for steam bake and steam roast. If steam functions are frequently used, use distilled water.

• Using water container, pour water slowly onto the bottom of oven cavity while still cool.

• Never add water if the oven is warm.

• Never add water during a Steam Bake or Steam Roast cycle.

While in Use

• When using Steam, follow the recipe for preheating, cook time, and cook temperature. If the original recipe did not use steam, reduce the temperature by 25°F (14°C), but not below 215°F (101°C).

• Always start with a cold oven.

• Preheating is not necessary when using steam roast.

Cleaning

• With a paper towel lightly soaked in distilled white vinegar, wipe out bottom of oven cavity after the oven is cooled or before each use.

• Use the self clean function to clean heavily soiled areas.

• If residue remains after self clean, pour a thin layer of distilled white vinegar onto the bottom of the oven cavity. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Wipe out vinegar.

Steam Bake

Steam creates the best conditions for baking bread on a single rack. Baked goods will have improved browning and texture and is recommended for baking moist and ﬂ avorful breads and pastries such as baguettes and croissants.

Use ﬂ at rack in position 3 for best results for Steam Bake. Pans should be pulled to the front of the rack.

To set Steam Bake:

1. Press Steam Bake.

2. Add 2-1/2 cups of water to oven bottom as directed.

3. Set the desired temperature using the number keys or use default of 350°.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Cooking with Food Probe

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry.

The Food Probe works with the following oven modes: Bake, Convection Bake, Air Fry, Convection Roast, and Steam Roast.

The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. The probe settings for how the oven behaves should be set ﬁ rst in the settings menu.

When active, the probe displays the internal food temperature which 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.

For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.

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. For best results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.

Insert

probe tip

to center of

food

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

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

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

• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor into the thickest part of the breast.

CAUTION

Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, as shown in and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k. org.

This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake is the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode. Most oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

To start Sabbath Mode, ﬁ rst select a cooking mode. Next, select Delay (if desired), Bake temperature, and cook time (if desired) and set. Press Conv Bake and Conv Roast together to start Sabbath Mode. Cooking will begin after any speciﬁ ed delay.

If cook time was set, once the time has elapsed, the cooking will end and the display will show Idle to indicate that the cook time has ended.

Important: The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are canceled. If cooking is canceled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned o and the oven lights are turned o . The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modiﬁ cation made within an active Sabbath mode use the number keys and press START. The change will be accepted automatically.

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. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, ﬁ sh, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator ﬁ rst. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when ﬁ nished cooking.

Important:

• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. When the Sabbath feature is active, only the number keys and OFF will function. ALL OTHER KEYS should not be used once the Sabbath feature is active.

• You may change the oven temperature once baking has started. Use the number keys and START to raise or lower the oven temperature.

• Remember that the oven control will no longer provide audible tones or display any further changes when the Sabbath feature is active.

• The oven will shut-o automatically after completing a bake time and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Figure 14: Add 1 cup of tap water

Figure 15: Clean around the oven door gasket

Notes:

• Opening the oven door during the steam clean cycle prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean.

• For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom.

• A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used for di cult soils. Moisten pads with water before use.

• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill while wiping out.

• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time.

• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent and the oven door glass. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.

• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water.

• Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delayed start time.

• If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self Clean. See “Self Clean” on page 44.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Self Clean

Self Clean cleans with very high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), eliminating soils completely or reducing them to very ﬁ ne powdered ashes you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.

The clean cycle lasts for 2-4 hours.

Before starting self clean read all following caution and important statements before starting a self clean cycle

CAUTION

• Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.

• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends. The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

• Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. 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 su ciently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or ﬁ re when subjected to high temperatures.

• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie ﬁ llings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and compromise the performance of the oven.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to fumes given o during the self clean cycle of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the ﬁ rst self clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors.

• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator light is ﬂ ashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door.

• When the clean time ﬁ nishes, the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled sufﬁ ciently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be able to open the oven door.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Self Clean

To set self clean:

Be sure the oven is empty and all oven racks are removed. Remove all items from the oven. Be sure oven door is completely closed.

1. Press Self Clean. The warning to remove RACKS will ﬂ ash in the display to remind you that oven racks should be removed before a self clean. The default 3 hour clean time will appear in the display.

2. Use the number keys to adjust the cleaning time. Press START to activate self clean.

3. The RACKS warning will end and Self Clean will start. 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.

• Once the oven door has locked, CLEAN will

appear in the display indicating self clean has started.

• Do not force the oven door open when self-

clean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking system.

• Use caution when opening the door after

self-clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.

4. When self clean is ﬁ nished: CLEAN message will turn o , and Hot will appear in display win- dow.

5. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed, the oven door may be opened.

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 steam and air to escape.

When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the di culty of major cleaning later.

CARE AND CLEANING

CARE AND CLEANING

Cooktop Maintenance

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

Prior to using your cooktop for the ﬁ rst time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and bu with a clean paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective ﬁ nish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using 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 the bottom; always use clean cookware.

• 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

CAUTION

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface could be hot from contact with hot cookware, and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled su ciently.

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:

For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

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 held at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Finish cleaning with cooktop cleaning cream.

IMPORTANT

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

CARE AND CLEANING

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning speciﬁ c parts of the oven.

Follow these cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. 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 cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the e ort required for major cleaning later.

CAUTION

Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned o and the oven is cool. The oven may be hot and can cause burns.

Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven

The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.

To remove heavy soil:

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners.

3. 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. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before cleaning.

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

CARE AND CLEANING

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners

WARNING

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven 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.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of materials can also reduce the e ectiveness of the air circulation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or ﬁ re.

• 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.

• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air ﬂ ow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.

Replacing the Oven Light

CAUTION

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing the oven light.

The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the oven interior light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power o at the main source or unplug the appliance.

2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise.

3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.

NOTE

Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing a new bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with your ﬁ ngers when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb.

4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).

6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
