Helpful Tips
Cleaning Your Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Clean your cooktop after each use with ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and apply with
approved cooktop cleaning pads. Scrape off sugary spills while the cooktop is still warm.
You may want to wear oven mitts while cleaning the cooktop.
Remove stubborn stains with Cooktop Cleaner, Scraper and Cleaning Pads available in
the Cooktop Care Kit (not included).
Do not allow spills and stains to remain on the cooktop over night. Do not clean with
steel wool, abrasive powder cleaners, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia as they
will damage the glass. Razor scraper edges will not scratch the glass when used properly
at a 45 degree angle to the surface.
Cooktop Glass
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It may cycle on and off to
maintain the selected heat level. Portions of the element may cycle on and off at different
times on some elements. This is normal.
The Warm Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on.
Oven Odor
There may be some odors the fi rst few times you use your range. This will go away after
the oven is used a few times. To eliminate these odors, it is recommended that you run
the Bake cycle at 400°F (204°C) for 30 minutes prior to cooking for the fi rst time.
For additional information, refer to the User Instructions.
Oven Preheat Time
The standard time necessary to preheat your oven to 350° (177°C) is 10 to 15 minutes.
Factors that have an impact on preheat times are: room temperature, starting oven
temperature, and the number of oven racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to
preheating your oven to reduce the preheat time.
Convection
During convection cooking, the bake, broil and convection elements cycle on and off in
intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It
will come back on when the oven door is closed.
AquaLift™ Technology Cleaning
Some condensation will form on the oven window during
the cleaning cycle. This condensation will evaporate within
30 minutes.
During the AquaLiftTM Technology cleaning cycle, some
steam will come out of the bottom of the console. This is
normal and part of the cleaning cycle.
Make sure that the oven is level to ensure water is evenly distributed on the bottom of the
oven cavity. Adjust the leveling feet as instructed in the Installation Instructions.
Remove heavy spills before starting the cleaning cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may require
a second cleaning cycle.
