Solid cast iron disk sealed to the
cooktop surface.
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.
Evenafterthe surfaceunitsare turnedoff,theglass cooktopretainsenoughheatto continuecooking.To avoidovercooking,removepansfromthe surfaceunits whenthefoodiscooked.Avoidplacinganythingonthe surfaceunituntilit hascooledcompletely.
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.

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.

When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be
seen glowing red within a few seconds.The red glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will
see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the Surface Cookware Tips section.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass surface when it iscool.

SU~ACE COOKWAm TWS
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

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.

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

SPECIALCAUTIONSFORGLASSCOOKTOPS

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+ook at 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.
3. Carefullyscrapesoil withrazorscraper.Hold scraperata 30° angleagainsttheglasscooktop.
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:

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

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 ~heback of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support.
Then lower the front of the

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. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

*,..,,..t
.,,,..,.,,.>.,.‘
~
.<.,
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 tightly around the insideof the pan.

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~G GU~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.

Turn the food only once during broiling.Time the foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.
Turn the food, then use the times given for the second
side as a guide to the preferred doneness.
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes throughboth about 2 inches apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise thejuices may become hot enough to catch on fire.
3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position
as suggested in the Broiling Guide.
Useof AluminumFoil
Youcan use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan
and broiler grid. However,you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut slitsin itjust like the grid Without the slits,the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits,you are frying, not broiling.
4. Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door staysopen

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 the self-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
4. ----- ----_ 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.

Howto Setthe OvenforCleaning
(continued)
Quick Reminder:
1. Latch the door.
2. Turn the Oven Temperatureknob to
AUTO SELF CLEAN,
If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean cycle, you will not be able to slidethe latch.
Allow additional time for cooling before you try to set the cycle.
1. Follow directions to prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Slide the latch handle to the right as far as it will go.
Never force t~e latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
3. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to AUTO SELF CLEAN. The AUTO SELF CLEAN, AUTOMATIC OVEN, OVEN ON and COOK TIME ON/OFF lights will glow.
NOTE: If you turn the Oven Temperature knob before you slide the latch, the LATCH DOOR light will flash. Slide the latch to the right.

\
, <f
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. Forcing the latch handle may damage the door lock.
ToStopA CleanCycle
1. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF.
2. Wait until the oven has codled below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the oven has cooled below the locking temperature.
Aftera CleanCycle
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.
NOTE:
You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is
cool enough for the door to be unlatched.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the
CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean count down, press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad.
If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe the shelf
supports with cooking oil.

HOWto Set DelayStartof Cleaning (on somemodels)
QuickReminder:
1. Latch the door.
2. Turn the Oven Temperature Control knob to AUTO SELF CLEAN.
3. Press the STARTTIME ON/OFF pad.
4. Press the HOUR and MIN. pads to set the time of day you want cleaning to start.
The Self-Clean Cycle will automatically begin at the time you selected.
Delay Start is setting the oven timer to start the clean cycle automatically at a later time than the present time of day.
For example: Let’s say it is 7:00 and you want the
oven to begin self-cleaning at 9:00 after you’re finished in the kitchen. The oven isjust soiled a
normal amount so the normal Clean Time of 4 hours and 20 minutes is preferred.
1. Follow steps to prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Slide the latch handle to the
right as far as it will go.
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
3. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the AUTO
SELF CLEAN position.
4. Press the START TIME ON/OFF pad.
5. Press the HOUR pad until 9:00 appears in the display.The timer is now set to start cleaning in 2 hours, at 9:00.
The Self-Clean Cycle will be set to automatically begin at 9:00 and finish at 1:20.
Both the Oven On light and the Latch Door light
will flash when the Clean Time is finished.
6. 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 slideseasily. Forcing the latch handle may damage the door lock.
