How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

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.

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

LPPHGLDWHO\ %HFDXVH RI LWV ORZ PHOWLQJ 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:

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,

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.

To Remove An Extension Rack:

1.Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven so that side paddles on the rack disengage from the oven support.

2.Slide the rack toward you to the bump (stop position) 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.

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

RYHQ WHPSHUDWXUH E\ ) QH[W WLPH

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.

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.

Ŷ Insert the probe completely into the meat, up to the handle, such that the point of the probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of the meat.

Ŷ The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.

Ŷ For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast.

Ŷ For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center of the roast.

Ŷ For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

Ŷ For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the probe into the center of the dish.

Ŷ For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Check the temperature at other locations in the food with a food thermometer once the probe temperature is reached to ensure that all portions of the food have reached desired temperatures.

Probe Care Guidelines

Note: double oven models have a probe in one oven only.

3.Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet,
