Range Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the range, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE
•
RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE,
THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP
DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY,
SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR
ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY
ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE
RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE
FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
CAUTION – Do not store items of
•
interest to children in cabinets above a
range or on the backguard of a range –
children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is
•
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
Never Use the Range for Warming or
•
Heating the Room.
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children
•
should not be left alone or unattended in
area where the range is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the range.
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or
•
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the range.
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace
•
any part of the range unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable
•
materials should not be stored in an
oven or near surface units.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –
•
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or
•
damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR
•
AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units
may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact surface units or areas near units
until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Among those areas are the
cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
Use Proper Pan Size – The range is
•
equipped with one or more surface units
of different size. 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 burner
will also improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended
•
at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls
•
Are in Place – Absence of these pans or
bowls during cooking may subject wiring
or components underneath to damage.
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum
•
foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric
shock, or fire.

Using the ceramic glass cooktop
Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is
almost the same as cooking on coil surface
units. There are, however, a few differences:
• The cooking surface area will glow red
when the element is turned on. You will
see the element cycling on and off – even
on the HI setting – to help the area stay at
the temperature setting you choose.
• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans
are clean and dry before cooking. Food
and water particles left on the bottoms can
leave deposits on the cooktop when it is
heated.
• Wiping off the cooktop before and after
each use will help keep the surface free
from stains and give you the most even
heating. See the “Cleaning tips” section.
• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
• Lift pots and pans onto and off of the
cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the
cooktop could leave marks that are difficult
to remove or could leave permanent marks.
• Do not cook popcorn that comes in
prepackaged aluminum containers on the
cooktop. The container could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that cannot be
removed completely.
• Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• Do not allow anything that could melt,
such as plastic or aluminum foil, to come
in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.
• Dropping a heavy or hard object on the
cooktop could crack it. Be careful when
using heavy skillets and large pots. Do
not store jars or cans above the cooktop.
• Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.
See the “Cleaning tips” section.
To use the small element for smaller pans:
Push in and turn control knob to the left
(counterclockwise) to the desired setting in
the area marked “SINGLE”.

Cookware tips
•
Select a pan that is about the same size
as the surface cooking area. Cookware
should not extend more than 1 inch
(2.5 cm) outside the area.
• For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed
cookware that makes good contact with
the surface cooking area. Cookware with
rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some
porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms
could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
• Cookware designed with slightly indented
bottoms or small expansion channels can
be used.
• Cookware with non-stick finish has
heating characteristics of the base material.
• Check for rough spots on the bottom of
metal or glass cookware which will scratch
the ceramic glass surface.
• Use flat bottom cookware for best heat
conduction from the surface cooking area
to the cookware. Determine flatness with
the ruler test. Place the edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. Hold it
up to the light. No light should be visible
under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all
directions and look for any light.
• Do not leave empty cookware, or
cookware that has boiled dry, on a hot
surface cooking area. The cookware
could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or the surface cooking area.
Characteristics of cookware materials
The pan material affects how fas t heat transfers from the surface cooking area through t he pan
material and how evenly he at sprea ds over the pan bottom. Cho ose pans that provide the
best cooking results.
Aluminum
Cast iron
Ceramic or
ceramic glass
Copper
Earthenware
Porcelain enamel-on-steel
or enamel-on-cast iron
Stainless steel
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
• Heats s low ly a nd uneve nly.
• Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
• See cast iron and stainless steel.
• Heats q uick ly but une ve nly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware
provides even heating.

Home canning information
Center over
surface unit
Pan
Surface
unit
• Use the entire surface (“DUAL” setting) of the
left front surface cooking area for best results.
• Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of
cooktops, especially ceramic glass.
Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do not
allow good contact with the surface.
• Center the canner over the largest surface
cooking area. Do not extend more than 1
inch (2.5 cm) outside the surface cooking
area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not
centered correctly, will trap heat and result
in damage to the cooktop. Do not place on
two surface cooking areas at the same time.
• The type of material the canner is made of
determines the length of heating time. Refer
to the “Characteristics of cooktop materials”
chart later in this section for more information.
• When canning for long periods of time, allow
elements and the surrounding surfaces to
cool down.
• Alternate use of the surface cooking areas
between batches or prepare small batches at
a time.
• Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring
to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil
or required pressure levels in a pressure
canner.
• For up-to-date information on canning,
contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office or
companies who manufacture home canning
products.
Optional canning kit
(Coil element models)
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can shorten
the life of regular surface units and cause
damage to the cooktop.
If you plan to use the cooktop for canning,
we recommend the installation of a Canning
Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your
dealer, or call 1-800-422-1230 (in Canada,
1-800-461-5681) and follow the instructions
and telephone prompts you hear.
Caring for your cooktop
(Ceramic glass cooktops)
This cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, ceramic glass cooktops need
to be maintained differently than standard
electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly
on the cooktop will not burn off as on coil
elements. Because of this, the surface should
be dust-free and soil-free before heating.
12
Your cooktop has been prepolished at
the factory for improved protection and
cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme,
a paper towel or a sponge is all you need to
clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning
methods, please review the “How to keep
your cooktop looking like new” chart. Follow
this chart after each use to ensure top
performance and to preserve that uniquely
elegant look.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

3. Hold the surface unit as level as possible
with the terminal just started into the
receptacle. Push the surface unit terminal
into the receptacle.
NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the cookware on the surface units. They also help
catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of your cookware may not be flat enough, or some
may be too large for the surface unit. In either case, some of the heat that is meant to go into
or around cookware goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This extra heat can discolor it.
4. When terminal is pushed into the
receptacle as far as it will go, push
down the edge of the surface unit
opposite the receptacle.
Cleaning under the lift-up cooktop
1. Lift front of cooktop at both front corners
until the support rods lock into place.
2. Wipe with warm, soapy water. Use a soapy
steel-wool pad on heavily soiled areas.
3. To lower the cooktop, lift cooktop from
both sides while pushing the support rods
back to unlock them. Lower the cooktop
into place.

Cooking tips
Baking tips
The hot air must circulate around the pans in
the oven for even heat to reach all parts of
the oven. This results in better baking.
For best air circulation:
• Place the pans so that one is not directly
over the other.
11/2"-2"
(3.7 - 5 cm)
• For best results, allow 11⁄2 to 2 inches of
space around each pan and between pans
and oven walls.
• When baking with one pan, place pan in
the center of the oven rack.
• When baking with two pans, place pans
in opposite corners of the oven rack.
NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heat
loss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory baking or roasting results. Rely on
your timer.
1
1
/2"-2"
(3.7 - 5 cm)
or farthest from the bottom of the oven.
Rack position 1 is the lowest position, or
closest to the bottom of the oven.
For proper cooking, follow these
guidelines:
• When using one rack, place the rack so
the top of the food will be centered in the
oven.
• When using two racks, place one rack in
position 1 and the other rack in position 3.
• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at
a time when using the BAKE setting.
Bakeware tips
• When baking with insulated cookie
sheets or baking pans, place them in the
bottom third of the oven. You may need to
increase the recommended baking times,
so test for doneness before removing from
the oven.
• When using ovenproof glassware or
dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-
ture by 25°F (14°C), but use the same
baking time. Because these pans absorb
heat, producing darker bottom browning
and crispier crusts, place the rack in the
center of the oven. When baking pies and
bread, you can use the temperature
suggested in the recipe.
Rack positions
Your oven has two straight racks (thermal
models) or three straight racks (ThermalConvection™ models), and five rack positions. Rack position 5 is the highest position,

Using aluminum foil in the oven
(For baking)
NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil
or other liners. It could affect the oven
surface as well as the quality of your baking.
• Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce air circulation and
give you poor cooking results.
• Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers
from pies or casseroles by placing foil on
the oven rack below. Foil should be turned
up at edges and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm)
larger than dish.
• For most recipes, you can reduce con-
vection baking time compared to standard
baking times. See convection baking chart
in your convection oven cookbook for
recommended baking times.
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.
• When baking on two or three racks, use
the convection bake setting for more even
results. (You can, however, use only one
rack when convection baking.)
• To use three racks during convection
baking, place racks in position 5 (the
highest position), 3 and 1 (the closest to
the oven bottom). This allows all three
racks to be an equal distance apart for
better baking.
• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used.
• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat
or poultry to slow down surface browning
for long term roasting. Remove foil for the
last 30 minutes.
• Use narrow strips of foil to shield
piecrust edges if browning too quickly.
Convection baking tips
(CONVECTION BAKE pad)
• Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
• Reduce recommended recipe oven
temperature by approximately 25°F (14°C).
See recipe adaption chart in your convection oven cookbook for recommended
temperatures.
22
Roasting tips
• Roast meats fat-side up in a shallow pan
using a roasting rack.
• Use a roasting pan that fits the size of
the food to be roasted. Meat juices may
overflow the sides of a pan that is too
small. Too large of a pan will result in
increased oven spatter.
• Spatter can be reduced by lining the
bottom of the roasting pan with lightly
crushed aluminum foil.
U sing and Caring for Your Oven
• Use an accurate meat thermometer or
temperature probe (see the “Using the
temperature probe” section) to determine
when meat has reached desired degree of
doneness. Insert the thermometer or probe
into the center of the thickest portion of the
meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For
an accurate reading, the tip of the
thermometer or probe should not touch fat,
bone, or gristle.
• After reading the thermometer once,
push it further into the meat 1⁄2 inch or
more and read again. If the temperature
drops, return the meat to the oven for
more cooking.
• Check pork and poultry with a
thermometer in 2-3 places to ensure
adequate doneness.
• Poultry and roasts will be easier to
carve if loosely covered with foil and
allowed to stand 10-15 minutes after
removal from the oven.
• You can reduce roasting times and
temperatures for most standard recipes
when using the convection roast setting.
See convection roasting chart in your
convection oven cookbook for
recommended roasting times and
temperatures.
• Use the convection roasting rack on the
broiler pan (both included with your range).
(The convection roasting rack rests on the
broiler pan, not inside it.) The long side of
the rack should be parallel with the oven
door for best heat distribution and airflow.
NOTE: Place the convection roasting rack
on the broiler pan with grid to contain the
drippings as the meat roasts.
Bake or Convection Bake
1. Position racks.
For correct rack placement, see the
“Rack positions” section and the “Rack
placement” chart.
NOTES:
• Before turning on the oven always
place oven racks where you need
them.
• Be sure rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to
protect hands if rack(s) must be
moved while oven is hot.
• Do not let pot holder or oven mitt
touch hot elements.

Broiling guidelines
• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided.
They are designed to drain extra juices
from the cooking surface. This drainage
helps prevent spatter and smoke.
• To make sure the juices drain well, do not
cover the grid with foil.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit
the fat on the edges to prevent curling.
• Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing
juices.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before
turning or removing food.
• After broiling, remove the pan from the
oven when removing the food. Drippings
will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Variable temperature broiling
• If food is cooking too fast or you want the
food to broil slower from the start, set the
broil temperature between 170°F and
325°F (77°C and 163°C). These temperature settings allow the broil heating
element to cycle and to slow cooking.
The lower the temperature, the slower
the cooking.
Convection Broil
Convection broiling is actually high-temperature convection roasting. Use this setting
when broiling thick cuts of meat. Results are
similar to those you get when using a
rotisserie.
1. Position rack.
See the “Broiling chart” for recommended
rack positions.
2. Put food in oven.
Place food on grid in broiler pan and
place in center of the oven rack. Turn
the pan so the long side is parallel to
the oven door for the most even heat
and the best airflow.
• Thicker cuts and unevenly-shaped
pieces of meat, fish and poultry may
cook better if you use lower broiling
temperatures. (See the “Broiling chart” for
temperature recommendations.)
3. Close door.
NOTE: Do not try to convection broil with
the door open. The fan will not operate.

faster or slower than your old oven.
If, after using the oven for a period of time,
you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting
results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below. The control
will “remember” the selected offset even after
the power has been interrupted or lost.
NOTE: Do not measure oven temperature
with a thermometer. Opening the oven door
will lower the oven temperature and give you
an inaccurate reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your
oven cycles.
1. Choose BAKE setting.
PRESS
and hold
for 4 seconds
Release BAKE when a number appears
in the temperature display and you hear a

2. Set new offset temperature.
PRESS
Each time you press BAKE, the displayed
temperature will increase by 5°F (3°C). To
decrease the temperature, hold down
BAKE until the display goes past 35°F
(19°C). At that point the display will return to
0 and will then decrease 5°F (3°C) for every
time you press BAKE. You can set the offset
temperature adjustment as low as -35°F
(-19°C) or as high as +35°F (+19°C). (To
