The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper or
other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Cooktop Use
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so could result in death or fire.
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an
element is on. This is normal operation. It will also randomly cycle
off and back on again, even while on Hi, to keep the cooktop from
extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear
to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting,
abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass
cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for
stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or
harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number
31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your
ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Maintenance and
Care” section in the Owner’s Manual for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each
use to remove all soils.
■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
can cause pitting and permanent marks.
■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes
on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on
the cooktop.
■ Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on
the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be
removed completely.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part
of the entire cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a
cutting board.
■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
On ceramic glass models, the hot surface indicator light is located
on the console panel.
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking
area is turned off.
Triple Zone Cooking Element
The Triple Zone cooking element offers flexibility depending on
the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way
as a regular element. The dual and triple sizes combine the single,
dual, and outer element and is recommended for larger cookware,
larger quantities of food and home canning.
A. Triple
B. Dual
C. Single
NOTE: On some models: Settings are marked on the control
knob.
Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)
The Dual Zone Cooking Element offers flexibility depending on the
size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as
a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. 1/2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking
results.
■ Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
■ Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on
the cooktop.
Cooktop On Indicator Light
The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel.
When any control knob/cooktop element on the console panel is
turned on, the Cooktop On indicator light will glow.
A. Dual
B. Single
Rapid Boil Element (on some models)
The Rapid Boil Element offers additional cooking flexibility. The
Rapid Boil element can be used to boil liquids faster. The lowest
melt setting can be used to prepare sauces, to brown or sauté
foods and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware
appropriate in size for the Rapid Boil Element.
A. Lower heat option
B. Rapid Boil option
4
Melt Element
The Melt Cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide range of
settings between Hi and Melt. The Hi heat option can be used to
boil small amounts of liquid quickly. To reduce the power setting,
turn the knob clockwise. The Melt setting is designed for delicate
foods that require low heat, such as when melting chocolate or
holding sauces. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt
Cooking element.
A. Melt option
B. Hi heat option
Warm Zone Element
Use the Cooktop Warm Zone element to keep cooked foods
warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain
food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warm Zone element can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used.
The Warm Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on.
However, the Element On light will glow while the Cooktop Warm
Zone element is in use.
■ Use only cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use.
■ Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture
to escape.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use plastic wrap to
cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.
■ Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space
or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum
■ Heats quickly and evenly.
■ Suitable for all types of cooking.
■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Earthenware
Porcelain
enamel-onsteel or cast
iron
Stainless steel
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy
efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the
cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not
extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Use on low heat settings.
■ May scratch the cooktop.
■ See stainless steel or cast iron.
■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without the
metal base may bond to the cooktop if
overheated.
■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.
■ A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even
heating.
Home Canning
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface
or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods,
alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between
batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend
more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or
element.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at
the same time.
■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to
avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.
■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times or when it is heavily soiled.
