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. If an
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 COOKTOPS WITH 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 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 immediately.
• 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 if applied 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 reposi-
tion. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
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.
Important Safety Instructions
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
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 CLEANING
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
essential 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.
_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 SAFETY NOTICE

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 to the right,
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 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, but 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.

Using the Griddle
Before first use:
•Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.
• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
• Preheat your oven to 350°E Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
• Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°E then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.
• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from this seasoning process. If desired,
wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
After each use:
• To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.
• Dry immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
Using the Griddle:

it will not work with the Pan Sensing (Sensa Cook) feature.
• Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side bridge element.
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat
ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and
prevent even heat distribution.
Because the griddle does not lay flat on the ceramic glass cooktop,

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 wil
spread to areas beyond the surface elements.
The areas surrounding the elements may become
hot enough to cause burns.
About the Radiant Surface Elements Figure 1
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 energy 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 9 / 12 inch dual radiant 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.
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 to maintain consistent heat
even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to
the ceramic cooktop. Cycling is normal and will occur
even more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer
to page 7 for instructions on using correct cookware 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 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 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. Figure 1 Figure 2
The available ESEC Window Display Settings
The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure
5) and OFF (Figure 6). 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 4) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in Figure 3 Figure 4
increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 5; 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.
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, "- -" Figure 5 Figure 6
will appear in every display window (See Figure 7),
Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the surface radiant element positions the cooktop will become very
hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some
time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the Figure 7 Figure 8
message "liE" (hot element; See Fig. 9) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to
touch. If the lie message appears in the window, the control can still be turned ON again for use.
Pan Detection Feature
The Pan Sensing ,,Sensa Cook_ key will activate / deactivate the pan sensing and dual element pan sizing feature. When
the Pan Sensing feature is on, the pan sensing LED is -ONe, and the elements can be activated only when metallic
cookware is loaded on the cooking zone. When the cooking zone is not loaded with a pan, the display will flash the power
level setting. When a pan is present, the display will steadily indicate the power level setting.
With the Pan Sensing feature on, when a pan is removed from the cooktop and the element is -ON_, it will stop heating
and the display will flash. If the pan is not put back within 1 minute, the cooktop will beep once. After 5 minutes, the unused
cooking zone will shut off ifthe pan is not put back on the element.
When the Pan Sensing feature is not activated, the Pan Sensing LED is -OFF_ and the elements produce heat with or
without metallic cookware load on the cooking zone.
Note: When the Pan Sensing feature is activated, the Element Size Key Pad for the Bridge Element will be available. The
Element Size Key Pad for the Dual Element will not be available but the Pan Sensing system will automatically detect the
pan size.

page 9 for recommended surface cooking settings.
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.

Operating the Bridge Surface Element
The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface element located
at the left cooktop position (See Figure 1). Indicator lights on the
control panel are used to indicate what portions of the Bridge
element will heat. The Bridge element begins with the left FRONT
position only (Figure 2) and when selected with the +BRIDGE
element (Figure 3) it will provide a combination of 2 heating
surfaces. When set for ALL the left rear element is added for a total
combination of 3 even heating surfaces (See Figure 4).

The Bridge element is designed for rectangular or oval shaped
cookware. The griddle that is supplied with this appliance should
be used with the Bridge element ONLY. For round shaped
cookware, the left front and left rear elements may be used as a
single element.
To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2.
Touch and hold the pad for the Bridge element position until a
beep is heard. The display will show " - - ". Note: If no further pads are
touched within 10 seconds the request to power the element ON will

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 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 is on, the electronic surface element control will record
that request and execute it with a 15-30 second delay. So the element will start heating 15-30 seconds after the surface
element control was turned on. As with the oven control, the surface element display will not show the heat setting
because "Sb" is on in the displays. When necessary, it is possible to adjust the power of the surface elements but there
will be a 15-30 second delay before the adjustment takes effect.
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 32-33 to activate the Sabbath Feature.

Before Setting Oven Controls
I _ This range has a fan that will turn "ON" and "OFF" byitself to keep the electronics cool. Itmay 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.
Removing and Replacing Oven Racks
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use
oven mitts when the oven is hot.

Types of Oven Racks
Flat Handle Oven Rack
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) and Flat
Oven Half Rack (Figure 3).
The Flat Half Rack has a removable insert Figure 4
that can provide extra space for taller food
items on the rack below. 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 4) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall
insert rear hooks at back of insert (See figure 5) and lay insert down. Make sure
both insert front hooks snap into rack (See figure 5).
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.
