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, ignitionof 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-
ingdue 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 ifthe
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 of these pan s orbowlsduring 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 inthe oven

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
wiii 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 is equipped 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:
- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear positions;
- 2 dual 9 or 12 inch radiant element located at the right and left front
positions;
- aWarm & Ready zone radiant element located at the center rear position;
NOTE: Please read detailed instructionsfor 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 isnormal and can also occur ifthe cookware is too small
for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom isnot flat (Refer to page 11 for
using correct cookware instructionswith the cooktop).
Figure 1
Figure 2
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.
Surface Cooking Settings
Use the table 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.

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

and good baking results.

Note: Always use caution when removing food.
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.
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.
