IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the rear leveling leg is
engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible,
slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under
the anti-tip bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

Radiant Glass Cooktop
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

USING THE RANGE: Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop
Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Recommended
Stainless Steel
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:
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.
Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Avoid/Not Recommended
Enamel (painted) on Steel:
Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron:
QRW UHFRPPHQGHG XQOHVV GHVLJQHG specifically for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

Oven Racks
Recommended rack positions for various types of
foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
The number of rack positions may vary by model.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
CAUTION Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25º F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

USING THE RANGE: Cooking Modes
Cooking Modes
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking Modes
Select a mode for baking based on the type and quantity of food you are preparing. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided, center food in the oven.
Bake
The bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, use the + - pads to set the desired temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door open. Monitor food closely
ZKLOH EURLOLQJ 8VH FDXWLRQ ZKHQ EURLOLQJ RQ XSSHU UDFN positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center food below the broil heating element. Broiling on rack position 7 is not recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by using Broil Lo.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses heat from the upper and lower elements, along with air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto
Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when using this mode. Baking time might be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Convection Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper
towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
