important Safety instructions

• When heating fat or grease, watch itclosely. Fat or

grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do

not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containersRBuildup 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, ifthe power fails, always turn

the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.)

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.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat

settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accu-

mulations 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 break-

ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

Do not use decorative surface element covers, ifan
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.

FOR COOKTOPSWITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY

• Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating
Elements. Surface heating elements should never be
immerse in water. Heating elements clean themselves
during normal operation.

• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place.
Absence ofthese pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immedi-

ately.

• 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 ifapplied 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 right side of the front panel and visible
when the oven door is open. 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).

Exposed 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN-
ING 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 essen-
tial 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.

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. 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.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range isequipped with radiant surface burners with
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:

- two 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left
rear positions;

- a 6/9/12 inch Triple element located at the right front ....

position;

- a 7 inch radiant element located at the center rear position;

- a 9 inch turbo boil radiant element located at the left front

position.

Figure 1

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 ifthe cookware is

too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is

not flat (Refer to page 13 for using correct cookware
instructions with the cooktop).

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 itsoriginal white
color after it has completely cooled down.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may

still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

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.

Figure 2

Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)

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 display in combination
with the touch pads is designed to replace conventional control knobs.

The available ESEC Window Display Settings

The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure

6) and OFF (Figure 7). The settings between 9.0 (Figure 2) and 3.0 (Figure 3)

decrease or increase in increments of ,5 (1/2), The settings between 3.0 (Figures 3
& 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. Use the Recommended Surface Setting Chart to
determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing,

Hot Element "HE" message

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 "HE" message (Figure 8) will appear in its associated display whenever
any of the element positions is still HOT and the element has been turned OFF,
The Hot Element message will remain ON while hot and turn OFF once the
cooktop has cooled sufficiently,

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle or when the Cooktop
Lockout feature is active. Whenever the Cooktop Lockout feature is active, " - - "
will appear in any display window (See Figure g).

6. When cooking has been completed touch the pad once to turn the

Figure 5

element OFF. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. Irregular glowing effect is depending of the element design and
doesn't affect performance of the element (See Figure 6). 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. Note: The
Hot Element message will remain displayed on the control panel as long as
the element is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has
cooled sufficiently.

Note: If no element size is chosen when the Triple element isturned ON, the

Figure 6

control will default to the inner coil only. See page 9 for recommended surface
cooking settings.
Note: The Hot Element message will remain displayed on the control panel as
long as the element is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area
has cooled sufficiently.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place aluminum foil or 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.

Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)

To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature _COOKTOP

The dock _ pad is used to activate the Cooktop Lockout feature which will lock all surface elements from being
accidentally turned ON. This feature will only lock the cooktop.

iNSTRUCTiONS

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature ON:

1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position.

2. Press and hold _ until "CLO" appears (Figure 1). Continue

holding until a second beep sounds (after 3 seconds). If a triple beep
sounds instead, check a[[ surface elements and turn them to the OFF

position and repeat this step. I_1will appear inthe display indicating
the cooktop controls and functions are locked out until the cooktop is

unlocked (See Figure 2).

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature OFF:

1. Press and hold (_ until "CLO" appears. Continue holding until

second beep sounds (after 3 seconds). I_1will disappear from the
display indicating the cooktop may be used normally (See Figure 3).

Note: Starting a Serf-Clean cycle will automatically turn ON the Cooktop
Lockout feature. The cooktop will remain locked until the Self-Clean
cycle has completed and the oven door has unlocked. If a power failure
occurs after the Cooktop Lockout has been activated, you must turn
OFF the Cooktop Lockout feature before being able to use the cooktop

features again.

How the Electronic Surface Element Controls work when the Sabbath feature is ON.

When your Oven Sabbath feature is ON, the Electronic Surface Elements are also in Sabbath mode. This means that all
electronic surface element control displays show "Sb". The surface elements can be used even if the Sabbath Feature is

Oil.

To turn ON a Surface Element when the Oven Sabbath Feature is active:
If you turn on a surface element when the oven Sabbath feature is on, the electronic surface element control will record

that request and execute it with a 15-30 seconds delay. So the element will start heating 15-30 seconds after the surface
element control was turned on. As the oven control, the surface element display will not show the setting because "Sb" is
on in the displays. When necessary, it is possible to adjust the power of the surface element but you have to remember
that the surface element control will adjust the temperature with the same delay.

To turn OFF the Surface Element when the Oven Sabbath Mode is active:
To shut off the surface element while the Sabbath feature is ON, proceed as usual but take note that the element will

immediately turn off without any delay.

Note: Refer to page 33-34 to activate the Sabbath Feature.

Surface Cooking

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: The size and type of

cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking

Figure 1

results.

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). Ifaluminum 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 - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Before Setting Oven Controls

_This range has afan that willturn "ON" and "OFF" by itself to keepthe electronics cool. It may continue
to run after the range has been turned "OFF", but may also stop immediately and then turn "ON" after a while.

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented through its upper front frame. When
the oven is on, hot air is released through the vents. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results.

OVEN VENT

To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto
the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack

upward and slide the rack back into place.

Figure 2

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 may

cause burns.
Your appliance may be equipped with one or

more of the oven rack types shown; Flat
Handle Oven Rack (Figure 2), Flat Oven
Half Rack (Figure 3) and Offset Oven Rack
(Figure 4).

The Flat 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 (See Figure 3). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert
side (See Figure 5) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear hooks
at back of insert (See figure 6) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front
hooks snap into rack (See figure 6).

The Offset Oven Rack is used to maximize cooking space (See Figure 4). The
offset rack can be used in the Iowet rack position to roast large cuts of meat and

poultry.
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

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.
