IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place

a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having

flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element

will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--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 surface units.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spiliovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• DO Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements-- Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan

on.

• 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.

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.

•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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area near

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

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening 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 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.

• De not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

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.

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.

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. Make

sure the diameter of the pan matches the

diameter of the element outline on the cooktop

(See Fig 1). Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type

and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and the 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 efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This wilt allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Figure 2

NOTE: Please read detailed instructionsfor ceramic glass cooktop

cleaning in the Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use and Care Manual.

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 flat (Refer to page 11 for using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).

Locations of the Radiant Surface

Elements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface

burners with 6 different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes

increases as the element wattage increases. The radiant surface elements are located on the

cooktop as follows (See Figure 2); asmaller 6

inch radiant element located at the right rear

position; a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element

located at the right front position; a Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position

(See page 12); and 2(two) 8 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and rear

positions. Located between left front and rear elements isa Bridge radiant element.

The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using the same knob that controls the left front radiant

element position. See pages 10 and 11 for more

information about using BRIDGE radiant element.

positions on the cooktop, including shared settings at the left front knob control position for both the left front radiant

element and the "Bridge" radiant element. Also the right front control knob position shares settings for the dual radiant

element. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in

digital windows (Figures 1 thru 4).

The available ESEC Display Settings ....

The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2)

to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0 , ................

decrease in increments of .5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo ........

(Simmer settings) decrease in increments of .2 for more Figure 1 Figure 2 precise settings of lower heat levels.

Use the chart (Fig. 5) to determine the correct setting for the

kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as

stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

OF OF

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the ;

setting needed for best cooking results.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have %° %

cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is

touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on Figure 3 Figure 4

top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pothotders, towels or wooden s )oons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

Recommended Surface Cooking Settings

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS FOR SINGLE, BRIDGE & DUAL SURFACE ELEMENTS

Setting Type of Cooking

HIGH (8 - Hi) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling MEDIUM HIGH (5 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry

MEDIUM (3 - 5) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam

vegetables

MEDIUM LOW (2 - 3) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew LOW (Lo - 2) Keep warm, melt, simmer Figure5

ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)

After using any of the single, dual or Bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the message "HE" (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (See Fig.l). If the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned on again for use.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)

An error message will be displayed (flashing "Er") at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY '_ of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, be o

sure to set all of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (See Fig. 2). This will reset the surface controls.

Be sure to reset the clock (See page 16). Once the surface controls have been set to the

OFF positions and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls

should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the "Er" ....... ......

message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact an authorized servicer for assistance.

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The self-clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. Conversely the ESEC feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature is active. Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature isactive, "- -" may appear in any display window (See Fig. 3). If any of the surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, "HE" will appear in the window instead of the "- -" message.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element:

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

2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See Fig. 2) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Fig. 5) for

larger cookware.

3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting. Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if

needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish 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 istoo small for the surface heating area.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The

HE message will appear after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the

radiant heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. Note: See page 8, Figure 5 for recommended control settings.

Figure 3 Figure 6

The Bridge Surface Radiant Element

The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface element located at the left front and middle (See Fig. 10) positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware (Fig.

10). The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single element without the Bridge (See Fig. 8).

Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control panel on each side of the Bridge element control knob. These symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when operating the Bridge element. The symbol in Figure 7 indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (See Fig. 8). The symbol in Figure 9 indicates that both the single and Bridge portions of the element will heat together (Fig. 10). You may switch from either of these settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

message wilt appear in the display after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on

until the radiant heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the left rear single element. Because these elements have 2

different controls, one element can be used to cook while the other element may be used to keep food warm (See Fig. 5).

Figure 5

Using Proper

Cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make

good contact with the entire surface heating

element. Check for flatness by rotating a

ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See

Fig. 6). Figure 6 Be sure to follow the recommendations for using

cookware as shown in Fig. 7.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence

the setting needed for best cooking results.

Operating the Warming Zone

The purpose of the Warming Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the Warming Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warming Zone.

!i i ii! iii! i!!

@ @

Figure 1

All food placed on the Warming Zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil 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 difficult to clean. Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven andcooktop use on the Warming Zone.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warming

Zone as coekware and plates willbe hot.

To Set the Warming Zone Control:

1. To set the control, push in and turnthe knob. The On indicator light will come on (See Fig. 1and 2). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO. However, the control can be set at any positionbetween HI and LO for different levels ofheating (Fig.l).

2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warming Zone Hot surface indicator light will remain on until the Warming Zone cools toa moderate level (See Fig. 1 and 2).

Temperature Selection

Refer to the table for recommended Warming Zone food settings (Fig. 3). If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at

serving temperatures by using the medium level.

The Warming Zone wilt not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the Warming Zone until the Warming Zone Hot surface indicator light is off.
