Important Safety Instructions
Do not heat unopened food containers—Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the
oven is not turns off and the power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/ 32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
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. The handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface unit.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution—If a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side of the range when opening
the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven / warmer drawer.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located at front above the oven door. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) Racks.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/ warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven/ warmer drawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use alumi­num foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short circuit.
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.
Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Ex-
posed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so
could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb.

Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN­ING YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and
grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
In the self-cleaning cycle, only clean the parts listed in this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Do not clean door gasket—The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Figure 1
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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1).
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. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause
burns.
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.
Figure 2
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and
Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide. NOTE: 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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 11 for using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with 4 different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows (See Figure 2):
- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the
right and left rear position;
-a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the
left front position;
-a dual 9 or 12 inch radiant element located at
the right front position;
-a Warmer Zone radiant element at the center
rear position. (See page 11)
NOTE: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity 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.

Setting Surface Controls
Surface Cooking Settings
Use the chart (Figure 1) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Recommended Settings for Single and
Dual Surface Elements
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (Hi) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (5-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (5) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam
vegetables
MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
LOW (Lo - 2) Keep warm, melt, simmer
Figure 1
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface indicator light will come on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.
The glass surface may still be hot and burns may
occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned off.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
ENGLISH
Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear and left rear (Figure 2) element positions.
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure 3). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Hot Surface Indicator light will come on when the control knob is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See above, Figure 1 for recommended control settings.

Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Zone
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.
All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not
use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum may melt onto the surface.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.
Warmer Zone Temperature Selection
Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels (Figure 1). If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.

Preparing Bread Dough for the Warmer Drawer
The Warmer Drawer has a Proof Bread feature that can be used to help prepare bread dough. The recommended length of time to keep bread dough in the Warmer Drawer is about 45-60 minutes. Be sure however to follow the recipe’s recommended times.
The prepared bread dough should be placed in a large bowl since the dough will nearly double in volume. Arrange the Warmer Drawer Rack in the downward position (see Figure 6). Place the bowl on the rack in the Warmer Drawer and follow the Warmer Drawer and Proof bread Control setting instructions at the top of this page.
Note: For best results, do not operate the main oven while using the Proof Bread feature.

Setting Convection Bake
The CONVECTION BAKE pad controls the Convection Bake feature. Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can
be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300° F (149° C) to 550° F (288° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as
shown on page 36. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection
Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position
2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 3 (for 2 racks; See Figure 2).
4. Cakes have better results when baked with the Cake pad in the Food
Categories feature.
