JAWARNING 1GENERALSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

[] Use this appliance only for its intended purpose

as described in this Owner's Manual.

[] Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified installer in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.

[] Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be

transferred to a qualified technician.

[] Before performing any service, unplug the range

or disconnect the power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or

switching off the circuit breaker.

[] Do not leave children alone--children should not

be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed

to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

[]A CAUTION.Donotstoreitemsof

interest to children above a range or on the
backguard of a range--children climbing on the

range to reach items could be seriously injured.

[] 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 in place of pot holders.

[] Never use your appliance for warming or heating

the room.

[] 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. Other surfaces of the appliance may

become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially
hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing
the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near
the opening and crevices around the oven door.

[] Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure

could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.

[] Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the

oven bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as
described in this manual. Oven liners can trap
heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product
and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

[] Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook

tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to
glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with
broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.

[] Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to

at least an internal temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an internal temperature of

180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually

protects against foodborne illness.

J

STEPSTO PREVENTINJURYAND FIRESPREADING

[] 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.

[] If there is a fire in the oven during baking,

smother the fire by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

[]

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn

the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do
not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air

at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst
of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this

instruction may result in severe burns.

[A WARNING i COOKTOP SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Never leave the surface units unattended at

[]

medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire.

[] Never leave oil unattended while frying. If

allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil

may ignite resulting in fire that may spread

to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat
thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.

[] To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum

amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and
avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive

amounts of ice.

[]

Use proper pan size--select cookware having

flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface

heating element. The use of undersized

cookware will expose a portion of the surface

unit to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
surface unit will also improve efficiency.

[] Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break

because of the sudden change in temperature.

[] To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a

container should be turned toward the center of

the range without extending over nearby surface

units.

[]

When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on.

[]

If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a
surface unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back

on as soon as power is restored. In the event of
power loss, failure to turn all surface unit knobs

to the OFF position may result in ignition of items

on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury
or death.

SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS

IA WARNING1RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

[] Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass

surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.

[] Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.

[] Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop

can be scratched with items such as knives,
sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and
rivets on clothing.

[] Do not place or store items that can melt or catch

fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not
being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned
on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or

oven vent after it is turned off may cause them to
ignite also.

[] Use CERAMA BRYTE ® ceramic Cooktop Cleaner

and CERAMA BRYTE ® Cleaning Pad to clean
the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and
the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A

wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause

steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception. They
should be scraped off while still hot using an oven

mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section for detailed instructions.

[] Read and follow all instructions and warnings on

the cleaning cream label.

[A WARNING i OVENSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

[] Stand away from the range when opening the []

oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes. []

[] Do not use the oven if a heating element

develops a glowing spot during use or shows
other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates

the heating element may fail and present a []

potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the
oven off immediately and have the heating
element replaced by a qualified service

technician.

[] Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
[] Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease

in the oven may ignite.

[] Place oven racks in desired location while oven

is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,
do not let pot holder contact hot heating element

in oven.

When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when

loading and unloading food from the oven. This
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces

of the door and oven walls.
Do not leave items such as paper, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.

[]

Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking
stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven

floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting

in damage to the product and risk of shock,
smoke or fire.

i' WARN NGi

FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at
temperatures below 140°F.

[] Always start with hot food. Do not use warm setting to

heat cold food.

[] Do not use warm setting for more than

2 hours.

The WARMING ZONE, located in the back center of
the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving

temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to
heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the

WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.
Turn the control knob to the ON position.

For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE
should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When

warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented
to allow moisture to escape.

The initial temperature, type and amount of food, type of
pan, and the time held will affect the quality of the food.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing
food from the WARMING ZONE, since cookware and
plates will be hot.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit,
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom,

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when
canning,

For Models With a 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.

[] Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using

the cleaning cream or full-strength white vinegar.

[] Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on

the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this film.

[] Don't store heavy items above the cooktop. If they

drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

[] Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources.
These are available from manufacturers such as Ball®

and Kerr¢ and the Department of Agriculture Extension
Service.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water

bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time
required to bring the water to a boil.

Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.

Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.

is scratch-resistant, not scratch proof.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop

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 on Cast Iron:

recommended if bottom of pan is coated

Porcelain Enamel on Steel:

not recommended
Heating empty pans can cause

permanent damage to cooktop glass.

The enamel can melt and bond to the

ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the

surface.

Stoneware:

not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the

surface.

Cast Iron:

not recommended--unless designed
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.

i,,lJ

I

k.-

(D
Z

m

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are not recommended.

NOTE" Follow all cookware manufacturer's recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

For Best Results

[] Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not

place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet
lids. Wet pans and lids may stick to the surface when

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.

Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditional
flat racks.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.

Extension Racks

Always pull the rack out by its upper front rail to its fully
open position, when placing or removing cookware.

If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the
racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your

oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in
the side tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite

lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom
tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the

rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
To order additional graphite lubricant, read the

Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of
the manual.

on the rack support.

3. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the
sliding rack, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To Replace An Extension Rack:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the
sliding rack.

2. Place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the
oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push it

in as far as it will go.

If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe
the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil

on the rack slides.

To Lubricate the Paddle:

Shake lubricant and apply to the moving parts of the
paddle mechanisms as shown.

of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more

foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls
to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
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 25° 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.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

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 and Roasting Modes

Select a mode for baking and roasting 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, enter a temperature, and
then press Start. Preheating is generally recommended
when using this mode.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended
for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This

mode uses heat primarily from the rear element, when
available, but also 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.

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses
heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements, when
available, along with air movement from the convection
fan to improve browning and reduce cooking time. It
is not necessary to convert temperature. Check food
earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this
mode or use a meat probe. To use this mode press the
Convection Roast pad, enter a temperature, and then
press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using

this mode.

Broiling Modes I

Broiling is available in both ovens. For better broiling,
the lower oven is recommended. When broiling in the

upper oven, the door should remain CLOSED. When :_
broiling in the lower oven, the door should remain OPEN.

Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when Z
broiling on upper rack 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 in the lower oven is not recommended. O
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust 7<-

rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the ::_
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a CO

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.

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper
element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of

meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior.
To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then
press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using

this mode.

Broil Lo

The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
element to cook food thoroughly while also producing
surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat
andlor foods that you would like cooked all the way
through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and
then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.

Warm

Warm mode is designed to keep hot food hot, it is not
intended to heat cold food. To use this mode, press the
Warm pad then press Start. Preheating is not required.

Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not
cover foods that should be crisp. It is recommended,

for food quality, that food not be kept warm for more
than 2 hours.
