|
|
children climbing on the range to reach items could be |
|
|
seriously injured. |
|
•Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
•Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
•Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough
to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around the oven door.
•Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
•Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the oven bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Oven liners can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
•Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.
•Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov and fsis.usda.gov. Use a food thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.
WARNING KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
•Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
•Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foamtype fire extinguisher.
•If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
•If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven, Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.
WARNING COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Never leave the surface units unattended with the cooktop ON above a Lo setting. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
•Always be present at the range when cooking with oil or grease. Surface cooking is an "attended" activity.
•Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
•To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
•Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
•To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.
•When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.
•If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn
all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.
WARNING RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
•Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
•Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
•Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite. Heat
from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
•Use CERAMA BRYTE® ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception. They should be scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for detailed instructions.
•Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream label.

SURFACE UNITS (Cont.)
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.
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 film.
•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.
Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off for a time if:
•the pan boils dry.
•the pan bottom is not flat.
•the pan is off-center.
•there is no pan on the unit.

Avoid/Not Recommended
Enamel (painted) on Steel
Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stoneware
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron
Not recommended—unless designed specifically for glass cooktops.
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.
More about Cookware
•Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids. Wet pans and lids may stick to smooth surface when cool.
•Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on the cooktop.
•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 element to ensure proper contact.
•Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge. You should not be able to pass a US nickel coin under the straight edge.
Do not place wet pans on the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support rings on the glass cooktop.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.
Use flat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop.

SABBATH MODE
Certain models comply with the Star-K Jewish Sabbath requirements for use during the Sabbath and holidays. For the latest list of models, see star-k.org.
Start Baking
To start baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Because a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn on the oven, this operation should take place before the Sabbath or Holidays begin.
Adjusting the Temperature
To adjust the oven temperature while in compliance with Sabbath requirements, the user must observe the oven ON indicator light:
•To adjust the oven temperature to a higher value, the user must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is on. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a higher temperature than was previously set.
•To adjust the oven temperature to a lower value, the user must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is off. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a lower temperature than was previously set.
Stop Baking
To stop baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the off position. Because a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn off the oven, this operation should take place after the Sabbath or Holidays end.
Oven Light Operation
The oven light can be set to either on or off prior to the start of the Sabbath or the holiday. Opening and closing of the door will not change the state of the oven light.
Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note
If a power outage occurs during a Sabbath bake, the unit will return to Sabbath bake mode when power is restored and the oven will return to the same temperature as before the outage, without any intervention from the user.

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 the minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25º F next time.
•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.
•Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
COOKING MODES
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.
Bake
The bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Lower the temperature 25 degrees. Always preheat when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode turn your Oven Mode Knob to Convection Bake and Oven Temperature Knob to the recommended temperature setting.
Warm (on some models)
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use Warm to heat cold food. It is recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to Warm.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Lower the temperature 25 degrees. Always preheat when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode turn your Oven Mode Knob to Convection Bake and Oven Temperature Knob to the recomended temperature setting.
Broil
Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil burner increases smoking, splattering, and the possibility of fats igniting.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil burner when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a lower rack position. To use this mode turn the thermostat knob to the Broil setting.

OVEN RACKS
Rack Positions
Your oven has four rack positions in the oven. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in
the Cooking Guide. Adjusting the 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, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.
Removing and Replacing Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide. To improve sliding
conditions, use a soft cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal cooking performance.

ALUMINUM FOIL AND OVEN LINERS
CAUTION Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
