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 ﬁx 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 Oven Controls” on page 22.

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 28.

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 a meat probe if available 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. If you do not have one of these accessories, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com.

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 ﬂat-bottomed cookware should be used.

Prior to using your cooktop for the ﬁrst 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 ﬁnish 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.

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 ﬂammable 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 ﬁre if placed too close to the surface elements.

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.

• 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 ﬁre 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 inﬂuence 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 ﬂatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 1: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have ﬂat 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.

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 unless the area is designed for that purpose. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

ELEMENT ON HOT SURFACE

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.

• A dual radiant element has two circles. The dual element may be set using just the smaller inner element or both inner and outer elements for a larger cooking surface.

Figure 3: Single and double elements

• A keep warm element has one small circle. It is used to keep food warm after cooking. The keep warm element is not designed to cook food but to keep food at serving temperature. It is located in the rear (middle) of the cooktop.

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 ﬁnished 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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance.

Check the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website 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 ﬂat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is ﬂat. 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 ﬁrst 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.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Single radiant surface elements

The cooktop has three single radiant surface elements: the right rear position, and the two elements in the Space Pro located on the left side of the cooktop.

To operate the single radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob to the desired setting (refer to the “Suggested radiant surface element settings” in Table 1).

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

Start most cooking on a higher setting and turn to a lower setting to ﬁnish 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.

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 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 ) 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

Table 1: Suggested settings for radiant elements

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 ﬂammable 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 ﬁre if placed too close to the surface elements.

Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reﬂector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or ﬁre.

IMPORTANT

• The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food being cooked will inﬂuence 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 ﬁnished 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

The dual burner can handle 9 inch or 12 inch cookware. This dual burner is especially useful for bringing large cookware to boil for canning or heating large amounts of water.

Figure 7: Dual burner single use (L) dual use (R).

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.

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 ﬁnish 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.

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.

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 “Suggested radiant surface element settings” on page 9.

IMPORTANT

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

• 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.

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 ﬂammable 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 ﬁre if placed too close to the surface elements.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reﬂector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or ﬁre.

Keep Warm Zone

The Keep Warm zone helps keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the feature to keep cooked foods hot such as vegetables, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warmer 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 plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

3. Once all three elements are on they will act as a single unit. If either one of the single elements is turned OFF the connecting element will also turn o. The other single element will remain on until it is turned OFF.

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.

Oven Vent

Figure 10: 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 ﬁre. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

CAUTION

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 ﬁnish.

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.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air ﬂows around the food from all sides.

Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Beneﬁts of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking.

• Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.

Convection baking tips:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.

• For single rack baking, position the rack so that food is in the center of the oven.

• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place racks in positions 2 with ﬂat rack and 5 using glide rack. Position cookware as shown.

To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to 375°F:

1. Arrange interior oven racks.

2. Turn the OVEN MODE knob to CONVECT

BAKE.

3. Adjust the OVEN TEMP knob until the Oven Display shows the desired temperature setting

of 375°F.

4. The oven temperature light will blink for a few seconds before sounding a tone conﬁrming the setting. The convection fan will turn on and the oven will begin heating. Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven will sound a tone indicating the food items can be placed in the oven.

5. When ﬁnished baking, be sure to return the oven mode knob to the OFF positions.

• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circulation.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature and cook time to prevent over browning of some foods.

• Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muns.

• Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces oven temperature and may extend cooking time.

• Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on pans with no sides or low sides to allow air to circulate.

• Leave oven light o while baking.

Convection Roast

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

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.

Beneﬁts of Convection Roasting:

• Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.

• No special pans or bakeware required.

To set oven for convection roasting:

1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven.

2. Turn OVEN MODE knob to CONV ROAST.

3. Adjust the OVEN TEMP knob until the Oven Display shows the desired temperature setting.

To cancel CONV ROAST turn OVEN MODE knob to

OFF.

NOTE

Preheating the oven for convection roasting is not necessary. At this time you may want to set TIMER as a reminder for checking food.

• Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.

• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast chart for additional information.

Convection Roasting tips:

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

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

• Smaller roasts and poultry should be cooked using rack position 2 or 3.

• Since convection roast cooks faster, it may 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 desire doneness is obtained.

• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommendations for additional information.

• 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.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When ﬁrst using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures.

NOTE

Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.

If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed by accessing the UPO (User Programmable Oset).

Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.

Before making a temperature adjustment, make sure both the oven mode and oven temperature control knobs are in the OFF position.

To adjust the oven temperature:

Using the + or - key in the bottom of the display, press until the desired temperature change (oset) is reached. The display will change ± 5° with each key press to a maximum of + 35° or a minimum of – 35°F.

If a lower temperature oset is desired, press the – key in the bottom of the display until the desired lower temperature appears.

Once the new oset appears in the display, release the key and the control will accept the change.

To return the display to normal, press and hold both the oven light icon and the clock icon at the same time until an acceptance tone sounds. The display will return to show the time of day.

1. When the oven is idle, press and hold both the light icon and the clock icon at the same time for a few seconds until the display sounds an acceptance tone. AUd should appear in the display.

2. Press the + key until UPO appears and the default setting of 0° (or the last oset temperature) is showing

NOTE

Changing the UPO will not aect the broil or self clean temperatures.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a ﬁne powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for clean times of 2, 3 or 4 hours.

Important: 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.

• 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.

• 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 ﬁre 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 ﬁllings) 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.

Figure 14: Clean around the oven door gasket

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the ﬁrst 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 ﬂashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door.

• When the clean time ﬁnishes, the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled sufﬁciently. 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.

To set a self clean cycle:

If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self clean cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

It is recommended to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.

To set the controls for a 3 hour self clean cycle and shut o automatically:

Turn the OVEN MODE knob to CLEAN. The display will show a 3 hour time (normal clean) and the – and + keys.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting 4 hour clean

Once the control accepts the clean time the display will ﬂash a reminder for the user to REMOVE RACKS.

Oven ready for 3 hour clean

If a 3 hour clean is desired, the control will accept the time within 3 seconds. However, the user may select a 2 or 4 hour clean by using the – or + keys to change to the desired clean time and then allow the control to accept the change

Setting 2 hour clean

The REMOVE RACKS notiﬁcation will ﬂash for a few seconds prompting the user to remove all oven racks.

If the oven door is opened as this time the display will show CLO to indicate that the door must be closed before the clean cycle can begin.

If the door remains open for more than 3 minutes, the clean function will be canceled

When the oven is set to run the clean cycle, 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.

After self-clean, the oven may take about one hour to cool and unlock. A Hot message will display during this period. After cooling, the DOOR lock will ﬂash and disappear indicating that the door has unlocked and the oven may be used for normal operation. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door after a CLEAN.

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

CAUTION

Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned o and the appliance is cool.

If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they must be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and provide adequate ventilation.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cooktop Maintenance

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

Prior to using your cooktop for the ﬁrst 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 ﬁnish 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 speciﬁcally designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

CARE AND CLEANING

Caring for Your Glide Racks

Caution: Handle oven racks only when they are

cool. After cooking or after the clean cycle, racks will be very hot and can cause burns.

Important Notes:

• Remove all oven racks, including ladder racks, before starting a clean cycle.

• Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer.

• It is important that the parts of the rack that contact the oven sides always have a light coating of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after

every clean cycle and when the rack becomes

dicult to reposition in the oven.

To lubricate the glide rack:

1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a large ﬂat surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth. Fully extend the rack.

2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide

applying. Apply to loading guides, and rotation pin. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.

4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

5. Turn the rack upside down and apply graphite lubrication to the insides of the loading guides.

6. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

track using a cloth or sponge.

3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before

7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the bottom of the “V” and the glide channels. Keeping the

frame sides lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when changing rack positions.

8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.
