Before you begin

Surface cooking

Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for the rst time. Then, remove the accessories, set the oven to bake, and then run the oven at 400 °F for 1 hour. There will be a distinctive odor. This is normal. Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.

Energy saving tips

During cooking, the oven door should remain closed except when you turn food over. Do not open the door frequently during cooking to maintain the oven temperature and to save energy.
If cooking time is more than 30 minutes, you can switch the oven off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time to save energy. The residual heat will complete the cooking process.
To save energy and reduce the time needed for re-heating the oven, plan oven use to avoid turning the oven off between cooking one item and the next.
Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.

About surface cooking

CAUTION
BEFORE COOKING
Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch re on the glass cooktop,
even when it is not being used.
Turn the surface units on only after placing cookware on them.
Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and
damage it.
CAUTION
DURING COOKING
Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the range when it is in use. The hot air from the vent could melt plastics or ignite ammable items.
Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.
Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on re.
Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and
be very difcult to remove.
The cooling fan can be operated during cooktop cooking.

Surface cooking
CAUTION
AFTER COOKING
Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass
surface before it has cooled down sufciently.
Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the items are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays.
About the radiant surface elements
The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant 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 efcient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not at.
Location of the radiant surface elements and controls
The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface elements on the cooktop as shown below.

Using the proper cookware

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking times. Using the proper pots and pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly.
Check for atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Flat bottom and straight sides.
Tight tting lids.
Weight of handle does not tilt
pan.
Pan is well balanced.
Pan size matches the amount of
food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
Made of a material that conducts heat well.
Always match pot diameter to element surface diameter.
Curved and warped pan bottoms.
Pan overhangs element by more than one-half inch.
Pan is smaller than element.
22 English
Heavy handle tilts pan.

Choosing the proper cookware

What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.). If aluminum pans are slid across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches. Remove these marks as soon as the cooktop cools down.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on the 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 surface.

Protecting the cooktop

Cleaning
Clean the cooktop before using it for the rst time.
Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop
looking good and can prevent damage.
If a spillover occurs while you are cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe the spill with a clean dry towel.
Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.
Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specically recommended for use on a glass-ceramic surface.
Preventing marks and scratches
Do not use glass cookware. It may scratch the cooktop.
Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan. These
items can mark or scratch the cooktop.
Make sure the cooktop and the pan bottom are clean.
Do not slide metal pans across the cooktop.
Preventing stains
Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A lm will remain, which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface can result in a permanent stain.
Surface cooking
Preventing other damage
Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately.
Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the cooktop and the pan.
Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
Do not cook food directly on the cooktop. Always use the proper cookware.

Before using the racks
The oven has two racks. Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops will keep the rack from coming completely out.
REMOVING THE RACKS
1. Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2. Lift up the front of the rack, and then pull it out.
REPLACING THE RACKS
1. Place the end of the rack on the support.
2. Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.
CAUTION
Do not cover a rack with aluminum foil or place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. This will hamper heat circulation, resulting in poor baking, and may damage the oven bottom.
Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.

Baking

The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 175 °F to 550 °F. Baking temperature and time will vary depending on the ingredients and the size and shape of the baking pan used. Dark or nonstick coatings may cook faster with more browning.

time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection baking. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. You can program the oven for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 550 °F.
28 English
Tips for convection baking
The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark nish will produce faster cooking times. When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in position 3 and 5. When baking a cake, using the bake mode will produce better results.
How to set the oven for convection baking

Broiling

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. Broil mode is best for meats, sh, and poultry up to 1” thick.
How to set the oven for broiling
1. Press Broil once for Hi or twice for Lo.
Use Lo to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.
2. To start broiling, press START/SET. Broil one side until the food is browned. Turn over and broil the other side.
3. Press OFF once you have nished cooking or if you want to cancel broiling.
NOTE
This oven is designed for CLOSED DOOR broiling.The oven door must be closed during broiling.
If you leave the oven door open for more than 2 minutes when the oven is on, all heating elements will shut off automatically.
When you have nished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has cooled down.
CAUTION
Always use this cooking mode with the oven door closed.
Use care when opening the door. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove food from or put food into the oven.
Broiling Recommendation Guide
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your doneness preference will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature. Always use a broiler pan and its grid when broiling. Always preheat the oven for 5 minutes before broiling.
