About the radiant surface units

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.

An indicator light will come on when the surface unit is turned on.

The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 65.6°C (150°F).

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

Stay on even after the unit is turned off. Glow brightly until the unit has cooled

below 65.6°C (150°F).

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.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface 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 discoloration.

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.

Using the oven.

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

Before you begin…

The number of rack positions may vary by model.

The oven has 6 rack positions.

It a ls o has a s pe cial low ra c k position (R) for extra large items, such as a large turkey.

The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop

before coming completely out and will

not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,

pull the rack out until it stops.

On some models, the bake heating element is under the oven floor. Do not place foods

on the oven bottom for cooking.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

CAUTION

When you are using a rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.

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 by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.

Cable

Handles

Read and remove label

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.

CAUTION

To prevent burns, do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until the oven has cooled.

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe or oven control.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the food and outlet.

To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or a broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle.

NOTE: Failure to fully insert the probe into the meat may result in poor cooking performance because the probe will sense the oven air vs. the food temperature.

Plug

Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning or broil cycle.

Do not store the probe in the oven.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Safety Instructions

Convection Fan Operation

Instructions

Multi-rack position.

Care and Cleaning

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 browned³ often in less time with convection heat.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.

Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-rack baking.

1-Rack Convection Baking

NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness,

the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.

The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOTleave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (B) position, another rack in the fourth (D) position and the third rack in the sixth (F) position.

For two-rack baking, place one rack in the second (B) rack position. Place the other rack in the fifth (E) rack position.
