IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface

heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit

before turning it on, and then turn the unit off before removing the pan.

• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped

with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and

not extend over adjacent surface units. To

reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

• Never leave surface units unattended—

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accumulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of

glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening an Oven Door or

a Warmer Drawer—Stand to the side of the

appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is

vented at the at the center trim above the oven. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

never cover any slots, holes or

passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing

so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

•Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven element or interior of the oven.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The

broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented through its upper front frame. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent.

Oven Vent

À CAUTION

models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower may keep run ning even if the oven has been turned off, until the components have cooled down.

Arranging Oven Racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and cause burns.

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.

To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Some

Types of Oven Racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may HOT and cause burns.

Your appliance may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven Rack, Offset Oven Rack and Flat Half Oven Rack.

The Flat Oven Handle Rack has an handle to facilitate the sliding of the rack when large amount of foods weight on it.

To maximize cooking space the Offset Oven Rack can be used in the lowest rack position to roast large cuts of meat and poultry.

Flat Handle Oven Rack Offset Oven Rack

The Flat Oven Half Rack has a removable insert that can provide extra space for larger food items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a casserole dish. To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert side of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall, insert rear hooks at back of insert and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into rack.

Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or rear walls.

Air Circulation in the Oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown.

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Surface Cookware Recommendations

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1). Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Figure 2.

Note: Th e size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Figure 1

Correct Incorrect

Cookware Material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

GLASS - SI ow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Flat bottom and straight sides.

Tight fitting lids. Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.

Made of a material that conducts heat well.

Easy to clean. Always match pot diameter

to element surface diameter.

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

Pan overhangs element by more than one-half inch.

-►L Pan is smaller than

element.

Heavy handle tilts pan.

Figure 2

Important note:

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel

coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly especially if left empty & they may bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be sure to follow all the cookware manufacturer’s suggestions when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Before Setting Surface Controls

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath.

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements.

Â CAUTION

become hot enough to cause bums.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

Important notes:

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

• Pressing a cooktop keypad only activates or deactivates the element but will not start the heating process. Activat ing and powering any surface cooking element requires pressing two keys - the ON/OFF keypad first and then a power level section must be added before the element will begin heating.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.

The areas surrounding the elements may

Turbo Boil Surface Element

The Turbo Boil feature offers a higher wattage surface radiant element. Turbo Boil will bring food items to boil much quicker and may be used when preparing larger quantities of food. The cooktop graphics will be clearly marked with this feature.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning proce dures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight edge to check canner bottom.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning using a ceramic cooktop.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat level to low est possible setting to maintain that boil.

• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two dif ferent surface cooking areas at the same time. This will cause uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Net«! (White glaii eooktopi only) Due to the high Intenilty of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element Is first turned off. This phenomenon Is normal and the glass will come back to Its original white color after It has completely cooled down.

Before Setting Surface Controls

Cooktop Display Windows

The cooktop controls provide a digital display for each of the radiant surface elements located on the cooktop. Power

levels and messages are easily monitored and adjusted using the corresponding control keypads in combination with the window displays.

The Available Power Level Settings

The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure 6) and OFF (Figure 7). The settings

between 9.5 (Figure 2) and 3.0 (Figure 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between

2.8 (Figure 4) and 1.2 (Figure 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure

6; lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower

heat levels.
