AntiMemo-tip device

WARNING

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed Anti-Tip device. AFTER THE RANGE HAS BEEN INSTALLED, CONFIRM THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE HAS BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS PROPERLY ENGAGED. Refer to the installation manual for instructions.

a)If the anti-tip device is not installed, a child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

b)Verify that the anti-tip device has been properly installed and engaged at the rear right (or rear left) of the range bottom.

c)If you move the range and then move it back into place, ensure the antitip device is re-engaged at the right or left rear of the range bottom.

d)Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged.

e)Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

WARNING

Do not step, lean, or sit on the doors of the range. You can cause the range to tip, resulting in burns or serious injuries.

Confirm that the Anti-Tip device is installed properly. Then, to verify that the Anti-Tip device is engaged, grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward. The Anti-Tip device should prevent the range from tilting forward more than a few inches.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the antitip device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit, or lean on the open door.

Never completely remove the leveling legs. If you remove the leveling legs, the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

begin you Before

Before you begin

Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for the first 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.

Cooktop cooking

About cooktop 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 fire 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 flammable 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 fire.

•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 difficult to remove.

18  English

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 sufficiently.

•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 efficient 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 flat.

Location of the radiant surface elements and controls

The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface elements on the cooktop as shown below.

cooking Cooktop

Cooktop cooking

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 flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

CORRECT		INCORRECT

Flat bottom and straight sides.

•Tight fitting 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.

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 cooktop surface.

22  English

Protecting the cooktop

Cleaning

•Clean the cooktop before using it for the first 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 specifically 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 film 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.

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.

Convection baking (NE59K3321** only)

By using the convection bake feature, you will be able to cook faster. You can program the oven for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 550 °F. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same 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.

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 finish will allow 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 2 and 5. When baking a cake, using the bake mode will produce better results.

How to set the oven for convection baking

1.Press Bake. The default temperature is 350 °F.

2.Enter the temperature you want using the or pad, eg. 375.

3.Press START/SET.

The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F. The range will beep 6 times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven temperature.

4.To turn off or cancel convection baking, press OFF/CLEAR.

•The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

•DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

NOTE

For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.

Convection roasting (NE59K3321** only)

Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

How to set the oven for convection roasting

1.Press Roast. The default temperature is 350 °F.

2.Enter the temperature you want using the or pad, eg. 375.

3.Press START/SET.
