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 fiat 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 m
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
accumulations that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
Glazed cooking utensilsmOnly 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.
Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with
aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could
ignite.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to
the appliance before removing and replacing the
bulb.
* Protective liners--DO NOT USE ALUMINUM
FOiL TO LiNE THE OVEN BOTTOM. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire.

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
_]__ Some
models ore equipped
with o 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
hos been turned ofl:_
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 on oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops.
Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace on 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. _..................................
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 Rock and Flat Half Oven Rock.
The Fiat Oven Hondle 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 Fiat Oven Holt Rock 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 clod<wise. 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 Fiat
Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan
placed on the rack and oven side or rear wails.
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
Multiple Oven Racks

Surface Cookware Recommendations
Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware
Cookware should hove 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: The 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 quiddy
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 cool<tops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
t t
° 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.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.
Figure 2
important note:
De 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
cool<top! 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 cool<ware. Only fiat-bottom cookware should be
used. The type and size of cool<ware, 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 fo cause burns.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element wiii 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 efflclent cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This wiii 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 fiat.
° 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.
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 fiat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely fiat 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.

Hot Element Indicator Message
After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop
will become very hot. Even after setting the controls to OFF,
the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The cooktop
control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and
displays the message "HE" (hot element) warning when the
cooktop is still too hot to touch. If the HE message appears
in the window, the control can still be turned on again for
use.
Radiant surface elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned of?. The glass
surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sumciently.
Do not place alurnlnum foil, plastlc items
such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or piastlc
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.

Important notes:
• If no element size is chosen when the expandable element
is turned ON, only the inner coil will heat by default.
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
• For emcient cooking, turn the surface element OFF
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
• 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.
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the
HI setting. This helps 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 fiat.
