Regular or sealed
gas burners use
either LP,gas
or natural gas.
How it Works
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat
on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
and changes heat settings right away,like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stopsright away.
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 radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right.away and change
heat settings right away.When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

GeneralInformationAboutRadiantSurfaceUnib
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by
outlines on the glass.
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean
it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top
and makes clean-up easier.
NOTE: A slight odoris normalwhena 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.
When a surface unit is turned on, coils beneath the
surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the
cookware. The red glow of the coils will be visible
through the glass, It will take the surface unit a few
moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to
maintain your selected control setting. With poor
cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit
off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize
the cycling.
Use only flat-bottomed cookware. Do not let pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktop. An
overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will
permanently stain the glass.
Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may
leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear as
small scratches. They can be removed with cleaning
cream and a razor scraper.
It is safe to placehot cookwarefrom the ovenor surface
on the glass sutiace when the surfaceis cool.
Avoidsliding pans on the glass cooktop. Pan edges
that are even slightly rough or grit on the cooktop can
cause scratches on the glass.
The Hot Surface Lights will stay lit untilthe cooktop
is safe to touch. It is not unusual for the lights to stay
lit for 30 minutes.
HotSurfaceIndicatorLight
A “HOT SURFACE’ light will glow brightly when
any radiant element is turned on, and will remain lit
after the unit is turned off until the surface is cool
enough to touch. Each element has its own “HOT
SURFACE’ indicator light.
● It comes on instantly when the unit is turned on.
● It stays on even after the unit is turned off.
● It glows brightly until the unit is safe to touch.
A “HOT SURFACE”light will glow brightly when any
element is turned on.

SpecialNotesforGlassCooktops:
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of
surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned
on, surface temperatures are high so be careful
when touching the cooktop. The hot surface
indicator light will remain lit after the surface unit
is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.
NOTE:
● At HI and Medium High settingsnever leave food
unattended. Boiloverscause smoking and greasy
spillovers may catch fire.
● At Medium Low and LO settings melt chocolate
and butter on a small surface unit.

SU~ACECOOKWAmTWS
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel: highly recommended
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottomcombines the benefits of stainless
steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,
even heat distribution).
Aluminum: heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity.Aluminum residues sometimes.
appearas scratcheson the cooktop,but can be removed
ifcleaned immediately.Because of its low melting
point,thin weightaluminumshould not be used.
Cast Iron: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
● Place only dry pans on the
surface units. Do not place
lids on the surface units,
particularly wet lids.
● We recommend that you use
only a flat-bottomed wok.
They are available at your
local retail store. The bottom
of the wok should have the same diameter
as the surface unit to insure proper contact,
Copper Bottom:
Good performance, but 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 pot will leave a residue that
will permanently stain the cooktop.
Porcelaitienamel:
Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth
bottom. Avoidboiling dry,as porcelain can melt and
fuse to the surface.
Glass-ceramic: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
● Do not use woks that have
support rings. This type of
wok will not heat on glass
cooktops.
● Some special cooking procedures require specific
*
cookware such as pressure cookers, deep fat fryers,
etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the
correct size.

SUWACE COOKWA~TWS
Howto CheckPanPetiomance
Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking
performance and cleaning of your cooktop.
The correct cookware reduces the temperature of
the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of
spilloversburning onto the cooktop.
You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.
Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or
may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of
your pans you may do this quick test.
Turn your pan upside
down on the countertop,
place a ruler flat against
the pan surface. The
bottom of the pan and the
straight edge of the ruler
should fit flush against each other all the way across.
Turn the ruler a full 360 degrees, checking for any
space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
(continued)
Another simple test to determine even heat distribution
across the cookware bottom isto put one inch of water
in the pan, Bring the water to a boil and observe the
location of bubbles as the water startsto boil. Good
flat cookware will have an even distributionof bubbles
over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles
localized in only a portionof the bottom indicate
uneven contact of the pan to the surfaceunit, uneven
heat transfer or an unsuitablepan:
Use pans that match the diameter of the surface
unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if
the cookware is either smaller or larger than the
surface unit.
v-~.“\?TwTm

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

across the cooktop because
it can scratch the glass—
the glassis scratch
resistant, not scratch
proof.
● Don’t store heavy items
above the cooktop. If they
drop onto the cooktop,
they can cause damage.
12
Canning should be done on the cooktop only.
Pots that extend beyond 1inch of the surface unit
circle are not recommended for most surface cooking.
However, when canning with water-bath or pressure
canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is
because boiling water temperatures (even under
pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces
surrounding the surface units.
Observethe FollowingPoink in Canning
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER
THAN WATER.Most syrup or sauce mixtures—
and all types of frying+ookat temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such temperaturescould
eventuallyharm the glass cooktop surfaces.
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface
unit. If your cooktop or its location does not allow
the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use
smaller diameter pots for good canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamdware) because they don’t make
enough contact with the surface units and take
too long to boil water.
RIGHT
WRONG
Flat-bottomedcannersarerequiredfor~ass cooktops.
CAUTION:
Safe canning requiresthat harmful microorganisms
are destroyed and that the jars are sealed
completely. When canning foods in a water-bath
canner, a gentle but steadv boil must be
maintained for the requir~d time. When canning
foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be
maintained for the required time.
After you have adjusted the controls, it is
very important to make sure the prescribed
boil or pressure levels are maintained for the
required time.
The cooktop surface units have temperature
limiters that prevent the glass cooktop from getting
too hot. If the bottom of your canner is not flat, the
surface unit can overheat, triggering the
temperature limiters to cycle the unit off for a
time. This will stop the boil or reduce the pressure
in the canner.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are availablefrom the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glassjars for canning, such as Ball
and Kerr; and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoidburns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage,canning may
take longer than expected, even though directions have
been carefully followed. The process time will be
shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating
of large quantities of water.
Since you must make sure to process the canning
jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption
in processing time, you cannot can on any of
the cooktop surface units if your canner is not
flat enough.

GLASSCOOKTOP CLEANING
GlassCooktopCleaning
Cleaning of glasscooktops is different from cleaning a
standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the
surfaceofyournewglasscooktopfollowthesebasic steps.
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean
it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top
and makes clean-up easier.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only a recommended
cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or the
Cooktop Cleaning Creme, on the glass cooktop.
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of the cleaning
cream onto soiled area using a damp paper towel.
Buff with a dry paper towel until all soil and cream
are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective
coating which isessential in preventing scratches
and abrasions.
2. Cleanthe surfacewith the cleaningcream after
each use.
For heavy, burned on soil:
1. Applya few dropsof thecleaningcreamto the
(cool) soiledarea.
2. Using a damppapertowel, rubthecreaminto the
burnedonarea.As with anyburnedon spill,this
mayrequiresomeeffort.
4. If anysoil remains,repeatthe stepslistedabove. For
additionalprotection,after all soilhas been removed,
polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.
5. Buff with a dry paper towel.
NOTE:
● Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface
if the 30° angle is maintained.
● Be sure to use a new,sharp razor scraper. Do not use
a dull or nicked blade.
● Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.
SPECIAL CARE: Sugary spillovers (suchasjellies,
fudge,candysyrups)ormelted plastics cancause
pittingof the surfaceof yourcooktop(notcoveredby
thewarranty)unless the spill is temoved while stillhot. Special care should be tiken when removing
hot substances. Follow these instructions carefully
and remove soil while spill is still hot.
1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.
Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the
razor scraper at a 30° angle to the
+,J.’!J :-

3. Whh the spillin a coolarea, use a dry paper towelto
removeanyexcess.Any spilloverremainingshould
be left untilthe surfaceof the cooktop has cooled.
Do not continueto usethe soiled sutiace unituntil all
of the spilloverhas been removed.Followthe steps
underHeavy Soil to continuethe cleaningprocess.
COOKTOP SEAL: Toclean thecooktopseal,let a
wetclothrest on it fora fewminutes, then wipeclean.
Use a milddetergentif needed,Do notusea knifeor any
sharpobjecton the sealbecauseit will cut or damageit.
GENEMLINFORMATION: As the cleaning
cream cleans, it leaves a protectivecoating on the
cooktop surface. This coatinghelps to preventbuild-up
of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future
cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this
protectivecoating and therefore make the cooktop
more susceptibleto staining.

PRECAUTIONS
● If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper or
enamel are allowed to boildry, the overlay may bond
with the glasscooktopand leavea black discoloration.
This should be removed immediately before heating
again or the discoloration may be permanent.
● Water stains (mineral deposits) are temovable 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
discoloration.
14
● If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across
the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal
markings which appear as scratches. If this should
happen, use the razor scraper and cleaning cream to
remove these markings, Failureto remove these
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.
● Most cleanerscontain ammonia,chemicals and
abrasiveswhich can damage the surface of your
cooktop.Use only the recommendedcleaning

BeforeUsingYourOven
USmG YOUROWN
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to
setthem properly.
2. Check the oven interior.Look at the shelves. Take
a practice run at removing and replacing them
properly to give sure, sturdy support.
OvenShelves
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, and will not tilt when removing food from or
placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove a shelf from the oven,pull it towards you,
tilt the front end upward and pull it out.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new range.
To replace, place
the shelf on the shelf
support with the
stop-locks (curved
extension under the
shelfl facing up toward
the rear of the oven.
Tilt up the front and
push the shelf toward

BakingPans
Use the properbaking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amountof browningthat will occur.
● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
● Shiny,bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by 25°F.
I
PanPlacement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of
the oven. Allow 1-to 1H-inch space between pans
as well as from the back of the oven, the door and
the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above the other.

ROAST~G
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
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.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or
Timed Baking. (You may hear a light clicking sound,
indicating the oven is working properly.)Timed
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.
1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating
is necessary.
2. Check the weight of the
meat. Place it,~at sideup,
or for poultry,breast-sideup, on the roasting grid in,’,
a shallow pan. The
melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan
as close to the size of the meat as possible.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. Standing time
recommended for roasts is 10to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F.;
to compensate for temperature increase, if desired,
remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to 10°F.
less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached,

Useof AluminumFoil
Youcan use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured
meats or basting food during cooking. Press the foil

Questionsand Answers
ROAST~G
(continued)
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a
meat thermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at
the completion of cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.
For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer
at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time
has passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to
carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10to
20 minutes after removing them from the oven.
Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
ROAST~GGU~E
FrozenRoask
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started
without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per
pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook
a roast or poultry?
A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips
that would
help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,
or buy rolled roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when
roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it
unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown
the meat.
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.
Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.
Some
commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully
without thawing. Follow the directions given on the
package label.

QuestionsandAnswers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always
use a grid in the pan?
A. Yes.Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, thejuices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out thejuices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also
allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry
or fish. brush each side often with butter.
I
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown
as they should?
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range
may be low, In these cases, preheat the broil
element for 10minutes before placing broiler pan
with food in oven. Check to see if you are using
the recommended shelf position. Broil for the
longest period of time indicated in the Broiling
Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent
meat from sticking?
A. No. The broiler grid is designed to reflect broiler
heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to
prevent the meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler grid lightly with
a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will
make clean-up easier.

TotalCleaning Cycle Time: 4 hours and 20 minutes
Quick Reminder:
1. Latch the door.
2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to
AUTO SELF CLEAN.
Beforea CleanCycle
The range must be completely cool in order to set
the self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven
to cool before you can slidethe door latch.
We recommend venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood during the first selfclean cycle.
1. Remove all cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning
temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in theself-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose
their luster and become hard to slide.
2. To avoid heavy smoke in the kitchen during selfcleaning, wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
(If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before selfcleaning to prevent staining.)The enamel grid and
broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-cleaning
oven. However, to help preventheavy smoke
caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan,
you must first clean off the excess grease.
w
3. Clean spatters or spills on the oven front frame,
and the-ovendoor outside the gasket with a
dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the
oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by
the self-clean cycle. On these areas use detergent
and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad.
Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.
This will help prevent a brown residue from
forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the
top, sides and outside front of the oven door with
soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
the fiberglass material of the gaskethas an
extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact
and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation and good baking
results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become
displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.
. Close the door and make sure the oven light

is off. If the oven light is not turned off, tie life
of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out
immediately.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.

Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours and
20 minutes. On all models except JBP65, you can
change the clean time to anywhere between 3 hours
and 5 hours, and 59 minutes, depending on how dirty
your oven is.
Youhave one minute to change your clean time.
Use the HOUR and MIN. pads to change the total
clean time.
Both the OVEN ON light and the LATCH DOOR
light will flash when the clean time is finished.
After using the clean cycle, the door latch and the
Oven Temperature knob must be returned to their
original positions before you can use the oven.
When the LATCH DOOR light flashes, slide the
latch handle to the left as far as it will go, turn the
Oven Temperature knob to OFF and open the door.
Never force the latch handle. Wait until the LATCH
DOOR light flashes and the latch slides easily.

Youmay notice some white ash in the oven.
Just wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steelwool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly
with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits
are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by
the Clean Cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one Clean Cycle,
repeat the cycle.

Lift-OffOvenDoor
The oven door is removable,
but it is heavy. Youmay need
help removing and replacing the
door. Do not lift the door by the
handle. This can cause the glass
to break or can cause damage to
the door.
To remove the door, open it a
few inches to the special stop
position that will hold the door
open. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straightup and
off the hinges.
NOTE: Be carefulnotto ~lace handsbetweenthe
hinge and the oven door f~ameas the hinge could snap
back and pinch fingers.To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the
door slowlyand evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out. If the oven door is crooked, push down
on the high corner to straighten it.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of the door:
● Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated,
● The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
scouring pad.
(continued)
Outside of the door:
● Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
● Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces
● Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
cDo not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,
you should have it replaced.
