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 ofclothing. 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-
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 sorbowlsduring 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 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 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:
- a 6 inch radiant element located at the right rear position;
- a 6 / 9 / 12 inch Triple element located at the right front
position;
- a 7 inch radiant element located at the center rear position;
- Two 7 inch radiant elements located at both the left front
and rear positions. Located between the left front and rear
elements is a Bridge radiant element.
DoOoC
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 limJterthat 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 if the cookware is
too small for the radiant element or ifthe cookware bottom is
not flat (Refer to page 14 for using correct cookware
instructionswith the cooktop).
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 isnormal and the glass will come back to its original 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 istouched 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.
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 incombination
with the touch pads isdesigned 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 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 "Hot Surface" indicator light located on the glass cooktop will glow
whenever any of the element positions become HOT. The Hot Surface indicator
light 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 8).

power level from 9.0 through 3.0 by .5 increments. Simmer power levels
between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the
lowest power level available. Note: The power level may be adjusted at
any time while the element is ON.

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.
Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still
hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently, if no element size is chosen when the Bridge element is
turned ON, the control will default to the left front element only. See page 9
for recommended surface cooking settings.

any previous power level setting for the
LEFT REAR element will be changed to

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 dose to the surface elements.

Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)
To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature _£OOKTOP
The clock (_ 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 all surface elements and turn them to the OFF
position and repeat this step. I_twill appear in the 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). 1_will disappear from the
display indicating the cooktop may be used normally (See Figure 3).
Note: Starting a Self-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 isON, 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
On.
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 ison, 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
immediateJy turn off without any delay.
Note: Refer to page 32-33 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
results.
Figure 1
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 itto 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 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 will turn "ON" and "OFF" by itself to keep the electronics cool. it may continue
to run after the range has been turned "OFF", but may also stop immediately and then turn "ON" after awhile.
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.
