Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

 Know which knob controls each surface heating

unit. Place a pan of food on the surface element unit

before turning it on, and turn the element 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 is turned 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.

 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 under a ventilating hood, turn

the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

Before manually cleaning any part of the

range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

 Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area around 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 the manufacturers instructions for cleaning hoods.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR 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 oven racks, broil pan, broil pan insert and any cookware, cooking 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.

 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.

Save these instructions for future reference.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm

air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent.

oven vent

Fig. 1

Removing, replacing and arranging racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior

and exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

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.

Types of oven racks

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The half rack (some models) design comes with a removable section that allows for taller cooking utensils.

REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and parts

before starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide ability of the gliding racks will be damaged and will cause all oven racks to loose their shiny finish and or turn blue. Remove all oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual.

Air circulation in the oven

For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate around the cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food (See Fig. 3 ).

Fig. 3

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 and 5. For best results when baking cakes or cookies using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack in positions 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2).

Before Setting Surface Controls

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the radiant element power level setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in both Figs. 1 & 2.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 1). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). For more detailed information about the ceramic cooktop see Cooktop maintenance and Cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning section.

Fig. 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 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).

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A slow 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.

 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 material that

conducts heat well.  Easy to clean.  Always match pot

diameter to element

size.

 Curved and warped pans.

 Cookware larger than

cooking area marked on cooktop by more than onehalf inch or 12mm.

 Heavy handle tilts pan.

 Pan is smaller than the

heating area marked on cooktop.

Important note:

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelainenamel coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The

melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly especially if left empty and they may bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be sure to follow all the cookware manufacturers suggestions when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Fig. 2

Before 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. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed 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.

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.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If

these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

Cooktop On and Hot Surface indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of surface control indicator lights that will glow on the control panel  the Cooktop On indicator light and the Hot Surface indicator lights (See Fig. 1).

The Cooktop On indicator light is marked on the control panel and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF.

The Hot Surface indicator light is also located on the control panel and will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Fig. 1

Important notes:

 Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant

heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

 Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic

glass cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care & Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.

Before Setting Surface Controls

Types of cooktop surface elements

The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass outline the size and type of element available.

The single radiant element or elements will have one round outline pattern shown on the cooktop. The Warm Zone feature located on the center rear area of the cooktop uses one round outline and is designed to keep food warm only.

The dual radiant element (some models) allows the user to set the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and outer portions may be set to heat together (See Fig. 1).

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

 Use only quality flat bottom canners when home

canning. Use a straightedge to check canner bottom.

 Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges

that radiate from the bottom center when home canning using a ceramic cooktop.

 Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed

1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.

 Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.

 Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the

water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

 NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2

different surface cooking areas at the same time. This will cause uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Fig. 1

Setting Surface Controls

Single radiant surface elements

To operate a single radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant

surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either

direction to the desired setting (See Fig. 1).

3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface

element OFF before removing the cookware.

Fig. 1

Dual radiant surface element

Important notes:

 For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several

minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

 The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly

on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Refer to the Suggested radiant surface element settings table for suggested power level settings.

 Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and

then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

 Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant

heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

 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.

To operate a dual radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant

surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to

begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the element (marked dual - See Fig. 3). If only the inner heating portion is needed (marked single - See Fig. 2) for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to start.

Please note that you may switch from the single or dual settings at any time during cooking.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface

element OFF before removing the cookware.

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.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If

these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

Fig. 1

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.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If

these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

Setting Surface Controls

Warm Zone (some models)

The purpose of the Warm Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the Warm Zone feature (See Fig. 1) to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.

Fig. 1

Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with the Warm Zone. All food placed on the Warm Zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality.

For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warm Zone.

Setting Warm Zone control:

1. Push in either direction and turn the Warm Zone control

knob to the desired temperature level (See Fig 2). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low). However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different levels of warming.

2. When ready to serve, turn the Warm Zone control knob

to OFF position. The Warm Zone will remain hot until the hot surface indicator light turns OFF.

Fig. 3

Unlike other radiant surface elements,

the Warm Zone will not glow red when it is HOT. The glass surface may still be hot and burns can occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Always use potholders or oven mitts

when removing food from the Warm Zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic 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.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If

these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

Fig. 2

Important notes:

 The Warm Zone temperature level may be adjusted at

any time when the Warm Zone is turned ON.

 Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended

for oven and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can melt onto the cooktop.

Convection Features

Benefits of the convection features

 Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time

and energy.  Multiple rack baking.  No special pans or bakeware needed. Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven (See Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time.

Suggestions for convection features:

 For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,

biscuits and breads.  Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipes

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipes instructions using the minimum

recommended cook time.  When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in

positions 2 and 4 for best results (See Fig. 1).

Convect Bake

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.

Most foods baked in a standard will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature.

Convect Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Example  To set Convect Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Convect Bake keypad.

2. Press START. To cancel Convect Bake at anytime press OFF.

Convect Broil

Use the convect broil feature to cook thicker cuts of meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat and the convection fan for optimum browing results.

The Convect Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Be sure to carefully follow all the recommended broil pan and insert instructions and the directions for placing the oven racks as provided in the Broil section.

Example  To set Convect Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:

1. Press Convect Broil keypad.

2. Press START.

3. Close the oven door when using Convect Broil. To cancel Convect Broil at anytime press OFF.

Convect Roast (some models)

Meats cooked with Convect Roast function will be juicer and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Convect Roast may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Convect Roast:

 Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

Convect Roast.

 Since Convect Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook

time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

 Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent

the meat from browning properly.

Example  To set Convect Roast with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Convect Roast keypad.

2. Press START. To cancel Convect Roast at anytime press OFF.
