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.

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.
