important Safety instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and 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 heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements--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 isturned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
units.
• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
• When flaming foods underaventilating hood, turn the fan on.
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.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element if your model isequipped with
coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven 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. 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.
• Do not cover the broiler insertwith aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
• 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.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. 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 agood seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
•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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each
surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cook Top 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 noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Before Setting Surface Controls
• General Cooktop Information
• About Radiant Surface Elements
• Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
• Locking & Unlocking the Cooktop
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 the cooktop
(See Figs. 1 & 2 ).
Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. The type and size and condition of the 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. Note: 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 any
remaining heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even atthe HI setting. This helps to prevent
damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or ifthe pan bottom is not flat. Refer to the Surface Cooking section for more details about using proper cookware on the
cooktop.
NOTE: Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning tn the General Care & Cleaning section
and Before You Call checklist section of this manual.

Using TurboBoii TM (some models)
The TurboBoiF Mfeature uses a higher wattage surface radiant element which can bring food items to boil much quicker.
The left front radiant element will be clearly marked if this
feature is available on your range (See Fig. 3). If equipped with
the TurboBoil TM feature, place the cookware to boil on the left
front surface element and follow the instructions "To Operate a
Single Radiant Element" in the Settings Surface Controls
section.

• Available ESEC Display Settings
• Hot Surface Indicator Lights
• Cooktop Sabbath Day Feature and Message (Sb)
• ESEC Lockout Feature (- -)
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature provides a digital
display of the radiant surface elements on the cooktop. The ESEC displays in
combination with the touch pads are designed to replace the conventional
control knob and power level tick mark indicators.
In addition your range includes shared radiant element touch pad settings.
The "Bridge" element combinations and Triple radiant element settings are
also shown in the ESEC display windows,
The available ESEC Window Display Settings
The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig.
6) and OFF (Fig. 7) that will display in the ESEC windows. The settings
between 9.0 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5
(1/2). The settings between 3,0 (Figs. 3 & 4) and 1,0 (Fig. 5) are Simmer
settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo ( Fig. 6; lowest
Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use the
Recommended Surface Setting Chart (See page 11, Fig. 1) to determine the
correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.
Hot Surface Indicator Lights
After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very
hot. After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for
some time. The backguard control monitors the temperature for 5 positions on
the cooktop. The "Hot Surface" indicator light (Fig. 8) will glow whenever any
of the element positions becomes HOT. The Hot Surface indicator light will
remain ON while hot and turn OFF once the cooktop has cooled sufficiently
(Fig, 9).

Surface Cooking
• Using Proper Cookware
• Cookware Material Types
• Arranging Warmer Drawer Racks
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Cookware
should have flat bottoms that make good contact with
the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 1).
Be sure to follow the _,
recommendations for
using proper
cookware as
illustrated.
For more information
about the ceramic
cooktop see "Cooktop
Cleaning &
Maintenance" in the
General Care &
Cleaning section.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
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:
*CORRECT
t" 1"
• 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.
INCORRECT
o Curved and warped pan
bottoms.
• Pan overhangs element by
more than one-half inch.
÷1 I_
o Pan is smaller than
element.
® Heavy handle tilts pan.
ALUMINUM =Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause itto darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic 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 =Slow heat conductor, Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass,
Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in two ways:
• In the upward position (See Fig. 1) to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for
example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).
• In the downward position (See Fig. 2) to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example,
rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
Always use potholders or
oven mitts when removing food from the
Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates
will be hot and you can be burned.

Operating the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold
food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be
covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer
and be very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended
for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.

Warmer Drawer Humidity Controller Feature
Fig. 3
This feature may be used to control humidity levels in the Warmer Drawer. The
control knob is located on the inner front panel of the Warmer Drawer.
To help keep foods moist, move the handle to the right. This closes the vents and helps keep the moisture inside the
Warmer Drawer. For crisp foods, move the handle to the left. This opens the vents and allows more of the moisture to
escape.
For Dry Heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the direction of (Less) < (See Fig. 1). This allows more of the moist heat
to escape and provides a dryer environment for the food in the Warmer Drawer.
For Moist Heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the direction of (More) > (See Fig. 2). This will help keep the food in
the Warmer Drawer from drying out. Both heat and moisture will be applied to the Warmer Drawer cavity.
Note: For some types of servings you may want to store previously prepared food in a "dry heat" environment.
For frequent controller adjustments, slightly loosen humidity controller knob and slide to any desired position. To maintain a
desired setting, adjust controller knob into position and tighten knob.
