IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Do not store flammable materials in an
oven or near the cooktop.
CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a stove or on the backsplash of a stove— children climbing on the stove to reach items could be seriously injured.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the stove. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi­purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or near the stove.
Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal trim parts above the door.
REMEMBER : The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.

Installing Your Stove
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
A stove, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as a cushion vinyl or carpeting. When moving the stove on this type of flooring, use care. (A sheet of plywood installed under the stove will protect the flooring.)
Allow minimum of 1/2” clearance on all three sides for proper stove ventilation.
Electrical Connection
This stove requires a special 240V receptacle for the factory installed power cord. If your kitchen does not have a receptacle, have one installed by a licensed electrician. Failure to do so may void the warranty.
Leveling Your Stove
Ensure that the stove is level when installed. Open the oven door and place a level on the oven rack as shown.
To gain access to the leveling screws, remove the bottom drawer by pulling forward as far as possible, lifting up and pulling forward.
If the stove must stand beside a refrigerator, allow at least 5” between the two appliances. The heat from the stove may affect refrigerator performance.
Make sure that all the packing materials, including tape on elements and packing material above and below oven elements, have been removed and that all controls are in the
OFF
position before plugging in the power cord.
If the supply cord of the appliance becomes damaged, it must only be replaced by an authorized service representative.
Leveling screws are located on each corner of the base of the stove. The leveling screws can be adjusted using a socket and ratchet or an adjustable wrench. Turn the leveling feet to raise or lower the corners of the stove.
Before Using Your Stove
Money Saving Tips
Develop the habit of turning the control to
removing foods from the oven or cooktop elements.
Allow food to thaw before cooking. Thawed food
requires less cooking.
Before basting, adding vegetables or checking the
internal temperature of a roast, remove the food from the oven and close the door. Prepare food as needed, then return to the oven.
Preheat the oven only when recommended in the
recipe. Put roasts and casseroles into a cold oven and then turn the oven ON.
Glance through the window in the oven door to check
on foods. Opening the oven door frequently to check on food wastes electricity.
Use the oven to prepare complete meals. For instance,
start a roast, add vegetables when the meat is half­cooked, and then warm rolls or desserts after the main dishes are cooked.
OFF
before
Use cookware with tight-fitting lids and flat bottoms
which completely cover the heated portion of the element.
Watch foods when bringing them to cooking
temperatures at high heat. When foods reach cooking temperature, reduce heat to the lowest setting that will keep the food cooking.
When boiling water for tea or coffee, heat only the
amount needed.
Do not use a wire trivet or any other kind of heat
retarding pad between the pan and the element.

Cooktop Elements
Coil Elements
Description: Flattened metal tubing containing electric resistance wire, suspended over a drip pan.
How it Works: Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than other types of cooktop elements. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings very quickly. Electric coils stay hot long enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Coil Element Removal (on some models)
To remove an element, ensure it is cold, then gently raise the side opposite the receptacle and pull it out of the stovetop receptacle. To replace, reverse the procedure. The drip bowls may be removed for cleaning.
The round centre disc of the element can be replaced.
Caution: Drip bowls should be used at all times. Caution: Do not immerse elements in water.
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
These elements are self-cleaning. However, after the elements have cooled down, removal of large pieces of food or excess oil is recommended to prevent the element from smoking.
Simmer Element (on some models)
When set at minimum heat the simmer element provides temperatures low enough for melting butter, heating delicate sauces, maintaining coffee at serving temperature, or anytime food preparation requires a very low heat.
CAUTION:
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip bowls. This
could result in a shock and fire hazard, damage to the stove and shorten element life.
If it is absolutely necessary to use aluminum foil, it
is recommended to buy the aluminum foil inserts from your local grocery store.
Again, lining of the drip bowls should not be done.
However, if you still decide to line the bowls, make certain that the foil:
Does not block the centre hole on the drip bowl.
Does not come near the terminals of the elements.

Selecting Types of Cookware
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Home Canning Tips
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
Canning should be done on the cooktop only. The use of cookware extending more than one inch
beyond the edge of the element is not recommended. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter cookware may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) will not damage cooktop finish.
Canning Tips
Bring water to boil on begun, adjust to lowest setting to maintain boil. This saves energy.
Be sure the canner fits over the centre of the element. If your stove or its location does not allow the canner to be centred on the element, use smaller diameter containers for good canning results.
When canning, use recipes from reputable sources. Reliable recipes are available from the manufacturer of your canner, manufacturers of canning jars and the Department of Agriculture.
Remember that canning generates large amounts of steam. Use care to prevent burns.
Note: If your stove is operating on low voltage, canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed. The process may be improved by:
1) using a pressure canner
2) starting with hot tap water for faster heating of large quantities of water.
MAX
heat. After boiling has
WARNING
Do not use large diameter canners or other large diameter pans for frying or boiling foods other than water. Most syrups or sauces and all types of frying require cooking temperatures much higher than the temperature required to boil water. Such temperatures will eventually damage cooktop finish.
CAUTION: Safe canning requires that harmful micro-
organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed completely.
When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
When canning with a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained continuously for the required time.
For best results, use a flat bottom, heavy gauge canner. Canners with rippled bottoms are not recommended because the bottom does not make enough contact with the element. This wastes energy and takes a long time to boil water.

Using Your Oven
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure to understand how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven Controls in order to understand how to use them.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy, especially during the first weeks of use.
NOTE:
A “burning” or “oily” smell may be noticed the first
few times the oven is turned on. This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in a short time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle (for some models) for a minimum of 3 hours. See Operating the Self­Cleaning Oven section.
Check the oven interior. Make sure all packaging
material has been removed. The oven has four rack
positions to allow adjustment for baking and broiling.
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven.
Grasp control knob and push in.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the stop position. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven. Place the cookware on the centre of the shelf, as placing heavy cookware towards the back of the rack could cause the rack to tip when fully extended. Placing the food in the centre of the rack will also allow better air circulation for more uniform cooking. When loaded, slide the shelf to the back of the oven.
To remove the rack from the oven, pull it forward and tilt the front end upward. Be certain that the rack is cold before touching with bare hands.
To replace rack in oven, place the rack in desired position so the rear of rack is toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front of the rack and push it toward the back of the oven until it goes past the ridge on the oven liner. Lower the front of rack and push it to the back of the oven.
Turn either clockwise or counter clockwise to desired heat setting.

Position of Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.
Oven Roasting
For self-clean models, do not lock the latch during regular roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Use of Aluminum Foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold he foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

What is Convection?
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned – often in less time with convection heat.
You can use your favourite recipes in the convection oven. Recipe conversion is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
1. When roasting and baking, reduce normal cooking times by 10 minutes per hour.
2. Also reduce cooking temperature by 25˚F.
3. Only preheat for delicate foods and foods requiring less than 15 minutes to cook.
CAUTION: DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
When should you use Convection Bake or Convection Roast?
To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.
In convection bake, heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly, over and around the food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.
In regular baking, the bottom heating element heats the air in the oven which then cooks the food.
Convection Bake
• Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on all 3 shelves.
• Good for large quantities of baked foods.
• Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.
Regular Bake
• Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top crust, and pound cakes are more evenly cooked throughout, when not baked with convection heat.
In convection roast, heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.
Convection Roast
• Large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
• Roasting pans with low sides to allow air movement around food.
• Turkeys over 16 lbs. are more evenly cooked through when not cooked on convection roast.
Regular Roast
• Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook a long time in liquid to become tender.
• Turkeys over 16 lbs are more evenly cooked through when not cooked using convection roast.
• Cooking bag
• Foil tent
• Covered dish

Using the Oven Convection Cooking
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.
• Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.
• Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
Convection Baking
Adapting Recipes for Convection Baking
As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25˚F for convection baking.
Preheat the oven only if cooking delicate foods or foods that take less than 15 minutes to cook. When pre-heating, allow 10 minutes for the oven temperature to stabilize.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400˚F can also be used.
When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.
Check the foods for doneness at the minimum suggested cooking time.
Use pan size recommended in the recipe. Trays should be no larger than 15 1/4 x 10 1/4.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on 2 or 3 shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quick breads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.
When baking on 3 shelves, divide the oven into thirds by placing the offset shelf in the (C) shelf position and the straight shelves in (A) and (B) shelf position.
For 2-shelf baking, place the straight shelves in the (A) and (C) positions.
Convection Roasting
Meats cooked in a convection oven are dark brown on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. In most cases, cooking time will be less when using the Convection Roast feature. In general, cooking time is reduced by 10 minutes per hour.
To make sure the meat is cooked the way you want it, we recommend using a meat thermometer or the temperature probe provided with the oven (in some models).
NOTE: When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Oven Shelves section of the Regular Baking section.
(Refer to stove timer operating instructions to set oven for convection baking.)
The special roasting rack and pan allow heated air to circulate over and under the meat. This allows the meat to brown on all sides.
Turkeys over 16 lbs are more evenly cooked through when not cooked on convection roast.
(Refer to stove timer operating instructions to set oven for convection roasting.)

Convection Roasting
Adapting Recipes for Convection Roasting
Use the temperature recommended in the Convection Roasting Guide. Generally you will need to reduce the temperature by 25˚F. depending on the type of food being cooked.
Preheating is not necessary for foods that take more than 15 minutes to cook.
Convection Roasting Rack
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on the lowest shelf position (A) on the straight shelf.
When you are convection roasting you will use the broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack. The
pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters. The rack holds the meat.
The rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.
1. Place the straight shelf in the lowest shelf position (A).
2. Place the roasting rack on the broiler pan and grid.
3. Place the meat on the special roasting rack.
Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested time. Use the special roasting rack with the broiler pan and grid.
See the Roasting with the Probe section to insert the probe correctly (on some models only).
NOTE: It is important that the broiler pan and grid be used with the roasting rack for best convection roasting results.

Using the Oven
Convection Roasting with the Probe
Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe
On some models a temperature probe has been provided for use in the oven. This probe is designed to withstand high temperatures. Temperature probes provided with other products, such as those used for microwave ovens, may not be designed to withstand high temperatures. Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.
Never leave your probe inside oven during a self cleaning cycle.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for “doneness”. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting. When the internal temperature of the food reaches the temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet on the oven wall.
After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.
1. Lay the probe on the outside of the meat (along the top or side) and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the probe. The point of the probe should rest in the centre of the thickest meaty part of the roast.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing from the meat and wall outlet. Do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing the probe.
TO AVOID BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE SURE FOOD IS COMPLETELY DEFROSTED BEFORE INSERTING.
(Refer to Oven Control Centre’s Operating Instructions insert to set the oven for convection roasting with a probe.)
2. Insert the probe into the meat up to the point marked off with your finger. It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.
No more than 2 inches of the probe, not counting the handle, should be left exposed outside the meat.

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become familiar with it, following the cooking times given in the recipes as a guide. However, if you think that the temperature of your new oven is still too hot or too cool, you may increase or decrease the oven baking temperature by up to 35 degrees F.
