more surface units of different sizes Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit, The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of dothing_ Proper
relationship of utensil to the surface unit wiil also improve
efficiency

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units -- To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil

Never Leave Surface Units Unattended -- Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spiiiovers that may ignite, or a pan that has

boiled dry may melt

Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the range Only use aluminum foil as

recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food_
Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a

risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit,

Glazed Cooking Utensils -- Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suit°
able for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature_ Check the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions for rangetop use_

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop -- If cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spiJlovers may penetrate the broken

cooktop and create a risk of electric shock_ Contact a qualified
technician immediately

Clean Cooktop with Caution -- If a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam

burn Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a
hot surface.

Circuit Protection

As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt fuse isprovided for each of the electric outlet(s) (2 max.) located on top of
the control panel. To accessthe fuse(s) raise the control panel cover. Models with no electric outlet have no fuse.

Indicator Light

Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units. Some
models have indicator lights only with the warmer zone and warmer drawer.

Tile indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit isturned on. Check if tile indicator light glows when the control knob of the
individual heating unit isturned on. If the knob issetto avery low temperature setting, the indicator may glow and yet, tile heating
unit may not be heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.

When cooking isfinished, a glance at tile indicator lights isan easy check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned to OFE

Models with Touch Pad Control (onJy)

NOTE: When tile oven is in a baking, convection baking, broiling or self<leaning operation, a cooling fan may automatically
turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal and the fan may continue to run even after oven is turned off.

SpedaMty Pans & Trivets

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in

most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a sup-
port ring that does not extend be-

yond the heating element) may also

be used. The metal ring was de-
signed to support the wok safely
when it is filled with large amounts
of liquids (soup making) orfat (fry-

ing).

DO NOT use two

elements (if the cooktop isnot
equipped with bridge element) to

heat one large pan such asa roaster
or griddle, or allow cooking utensils
to boil dry. The bottom surface of
the pan in either of these situations
could cause discoloring or crazing of
tile porcelain enamel range surface,
and damage to the surface elements
and/or damage to the drip pans (if
equipped).

Wire trivets: Do not usewire triv-
ets. Cookware bottoms must be in
direct contact with tile surface ele-

ments.

DO NOT usea wok if it isequipped with
a metal ring that extends beyond the
surface element. Becausethis ring traps
heat, the surface element and cooktop
surface could be damaged.

For glass smoothtop models, only flat
bottomed woks (without support rings)
may be used.

Canning Tips & mnforo

Canning can generate

large amounts of steam. Use extreme
caution to prevent burns. Always raise
the lid to vent steam away from you.

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local

Cooperative Agricultural ExtensionService or a manufacturer of glassjars for the

latest canning information.

2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when tile bottom

surface isflat.

3. Center canner on the surface element.

4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring
the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low aspossible to maintain a

constant boil.

5. It isbest to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop:

1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edqe of the surface element.

2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended

amount of time.

3. Alternate surface elements between each batch to allow the units and

surrounding surfaces to cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same element all
day.

Safecanning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed

and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

SeMecting Surface Cooking UtensiMs

For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:

*GOOD

t t

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

Pansshould have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface

element. Che(k for flatness by rotating a
ruler acrossthe bottom. There should be

no gaps between the pan and ruler.

Note: Always use a utensil for its in-
tended purpose. Follow manufacturer's

instructions. Some utensilswere not
made to be used in the oven or on the

cooktop.

to the element.

Surface Cooking (continued)

Ceramic Glass Cooktop (somemodels)

Tile (eramic<glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic glass surface. The design of the glass cooktop
outlines the area of the surface heating unit below. Most importantly, make surethe diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the surface unit. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. Tile type and
size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the surface units are factors that will affect the amount of
heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areassurrounding the units may become hot enough to causeburns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
Panswith rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking
utensils) isnot recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard. Never use the
griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass cooktop.

Types of heating units used (some models)

Depending on model, three types of heating units may be found under the ceramic glass cooktop:

- Regular (single coil) radiant elements of various diameters or shapes.

- Expandable type (double circuits) radiants elements of various diameters or shapes.

- Bridge Expandable type (triple circuits) radiants elements of various diameters or shapes.

OFF

OFF

Regular radiant elements (some models)
The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.

Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels; knobs need first to be pressed in when at
OFFposition, then turned to the desired heat settings.

A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates
the utensil is too small for the unit. Tile control knob does not have to be set exactly on a

particular mark. Use tile marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot
surface and surface indicator lights will glow.

ExpandaMe radiant elements (some modets}
This heating unit combines the characteristics of a small and a large regular radiant heating unit.

Its principal advantage isto allow small and large utensils to be used on the same heating unit,
therefore increasing the cooktop flexibility.

Heat power levels are adjusted by a special control knob that hasa dual set of graduations; for
small utensils usethe small graduations; the inner surface only will be heating. Forlarger utensils

use the larger graduations; the whole surface will be heating.
The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow when the heating unit is turned ON.

Bridge Radiant elements (some models}
Its principal advantage is to allow you to create larger cooking zone for larger pan such as

roaster, griddle or some other specialty pans.

Touse the bridge element, turn the control knob on left side, to the bridge element settings.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface ele-

ments located below the surface of the glass.

The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines
the area of the surface element underneath.

]

Make sure the diameter of the pan matches

the diameter of the element outline on the

cooktop (seefigure 1).

Heat istransferred up through the surface of
the cooktop to the cookware. Only flabbot-
tom cookware should be used. The type and

size of cookware, the number of surface ele-

ments in use and their settings, are all factors
that will affect tile amount of heat that will

spread to areas beyond the surface elements.
The areassurrounding the elements may be-

come hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Ele-

ments

The element temperature rises gradually and

evenly. As the temperature rises, the element
will glow red. To maintain tile selected set-

ring, tile element will cycle on and off. The

heating element retains enough heat to pro-
vide a uniform and consistant heat during the

off cycle. Forefficient cooking, turn off the eP

ement several minutes before cooking is

complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

Models with Electronic Surface Element Controls (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature includes 4 digital
display windows. The ESECfeature provides a numeric digital setting for 4
of tile radiant surface element positions on the cooktop, including shared
settings at the left front knob control position for both the left front radiant
element and the "Bridge" radiant element. Also the right front control
knob position sharessettings for the dual radiant element. These settings
work the sameway as normal knob setting indicators work except the set-
tings are displayed in digital windows (figures 1 thru 4).

.5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo (Simmer settings) decrease in increments
of .2 for more precise settings of lower heat levels.

Use the chart (Fig. 5) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food
you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep
larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Sim-
mer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Operating the ESEC Bridge Surface Radiant Element (some modems)

Tile cooktop isequipped with a "Bridge" surface element located at the left front and middle posP
tions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cook-

ware. The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both portions of the Bridge. If
needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single element without the Bridge.

Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control panel on each side of the Bridge ele-
ment control knob. These symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when operating the

Bridge element. The symbol in figure 1 indicates that only the single portion of tile Bridge element
will heat (see figure 3). The symbol in figure 2 indicates that both the single and Bridge portions of

the element will heat together (see figure 4). You may switch from either of these settings at any
time during cooking with the Bridge element.

To Operate the Bridge Surface Elements:

1. Placecorrectly sized cookware on tile radiant surface element.

2. Pushin and turn the surface control knob counterclockwise to heat the portion of the Bridge ele-
ment for normal shaped cookware or clockwise for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.

3. Usethe ESECdigital display window for the desired setting. Turn tile knob to adjust the setting if
needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to fin-
ish cooking. Each surface element provides a (onstant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing
red surface heating area extending beyond tile bottom edge of tile cookware indicates the cook-

ware istoo small. Please note that not all cookware will fit the Bridge element correctly.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFFbefore removing the cook-

ware. Note: The HE message will appear after turning the control knob to OFFif tile cooktop is

still hot and will remain on until heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Setting Warm Zone Controls (some models)

To Operate the warm zone

Your appliance isequipped with awarm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.

Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
oven-safe dinner

All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when warming
pastries or breads, tile cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic warp to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop useon the warm zone.

Unlike tile surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it ishot. Always use potholders or oven mitts

when removing food from tile warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For good air circulation in the oven and best
baking results, center pans as much as possible.
Allow 5.1 to 10.2 cm (2" to 4") around the
utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure
pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or

back of oven. The hot air must circulate around
the pans for even heat to reach all parts of the

oven.

If using multiple pans, stagger as shown.

If using one pan, place in center of oven.

Convection

NOTE: The convection fan automatkalty turns off when the oven door is opened white oven is in a convection ]
mode and resumes when the door is dosed again,

The convection oven uses a fan located in the rear wall of the oven to circulate heated air around the food to be cooked. The
controlled air flow pattern quickly sealsthe food surface retaining the natural juices and flavour. This method of cooking enables
you to obtain the best culinary resultswhen baking, thawing, dehydrating and roasting foods.

Convection notes:

1. Most recipes can be made with temperatures setat 13°C (25%) lower than temperatures required for normal radiant cooking
methods. Refer to the electronic oven control operating instructions included insection "Electronic Oven Control Guide" of this

Use& Care Guide. This can result in considerable reduction of food shrinkage and more tender meats.

2. Batch cooking is more convenient with better results.

3. Defrosting isquicker in convection mode when compared to regular radiant cooking.

4. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking/roasting when using tile convection mode. Times
may be reduced by as much as 30% when using tile convection feature.

Convection

When convection roasting, use the broiler pan and grid, and the roasting ra(k. The

broiler pan will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent grease spatters.
The roasting rack will hold the meat.

Speed Bake TM Cooking System (somemode s)

Speed BakeTM Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and
continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and

browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with

Speed Bake TM Cooking System arejuicer. Poultry iscrispon the outside while staying tender and

moist on the inside. Breadsand pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven

can be cooked faster and more evenly with Speed Bake TM Cooking System.

Benefits of Speed Bake TM Cooking System:

Foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time and energy.

]_¢vora(ks can be used with more even cooking and browning.

No special pans or bakeware needed.

_7

General Cooking Instructions:

1. To convert baking times from normal recipes to Speed Bake times, start with a 30%
redu_vtion in time and increase the time until desired aloneness is obtained. Time

reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food.

2. Preheating is not necessarywhen cooking with Speed Bake, except with items such
as cakes, cookies, biscuits, breads, etc.

3. When using two racks at the same time, place them in positions 1 and 3 for the best
results.

4. When baking cakes with Speed Bake, set temperature 25% (I 3°C) degrees lower
than the recommended setting for best results.

To Set Speed Bake TM Cooking System:

1. Program tile oven asyou normally would for baking. Speed Bakemay be used with Bake, Time Bake
and Delayed Time Bake modes.

2. Turn tile Speed Bake switch to ON position. Tile indicator light will glow and the fan will come on.
The fan stays on when oven door isclosed and shuts off while the oven door isopened. Tile fan will

continue to operate until baking is complete.

3. When using Speed Bake feature along with the Delayed Timed Bake mode, the fan will begin to

operate when the control is set. The oven elements will not begin to operate until tile Delayed Start

Time is reached. This operation isnormal.

4. Tocancel Speed Bake function, push CANCEL on the oven control asyou would to cancel any baking

Preheating
Preheating issuggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating.
Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) Topreheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILas instructed
in the Owner's Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes.
Preheating isnot necessarywhen broiling meats well-done.

To Broil

to the "Broil Stop"

Open door

position when broiling,

Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook onthe second side. Seasonand serve.

Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Always puII oven rack out
to the "stop" position be-
fore turning or removing

food.

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times w_ry,so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the

element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and aloneness preferred. The first
side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require additional

time.

Broiling Tips

The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat

of the broiler.

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil.

Tile exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire

continues, throw baking soda on the fire or useafire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on

Broiler Pan

the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips:

Tomake cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler panwith aluminum foil. DO NOT cover tile broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from tile oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan isextremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean tile broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary,use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop Cleaning

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel
cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are not removed, they mayburn onto tile
surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

DaiJy CJeaning
Fornormal soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a cleancloth with warm,
soapy water.

3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.

4. Besure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during
future heating.

For heavy, burned-on soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Use a soap filled s(ouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with
a solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a

clean cloth.

3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning
cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff
with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the
cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing

scratches and abrasions.

For sugary spillovers:
Sugary spills can chemically damage yourcooktop surface. Therefore you must
begin cleaning tile spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use caution when following

tile steps below.

1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from tile
element area with a clean damp cloth.

3. Allow tile cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on
soil.

Make sure the oven iscool and that all control knobs are at OFF position. Cleaning tile oven is

a lot easier when the door is removed.

1. Removetile oven door; see "To Remove and Replace Oven Door" section in this manual.

2. Empty the oven including tile racks.

3. You can wash the broiler pan, grid and racks in the kitchen sink.

4. Clean oven lining thoroughly with soap and awet cloth and wipe with a dry cloth.

Toremove burned-on fat on oven walls, moisten soiled parts with household ammonia, using a
wet cloth. Follow suggested manufacturer's cleaning method. (Do not remove the oven door
when using ammonia.)
Complete cleaning with a damp cloth and use a fine steel wool or scouring agent if necessary.
Tile lower element can be moved up for cleaning purposes.

5. Replaceracks in the oven. Reinstall oven door.

C[eaning the Se[f-C[ean Oven (some models)
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• AIIowthe oven to cool before (:leaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small

children unattended near the appliance.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to tile fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.

Move birds to another well ventilated room.

Before (:leaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control isturned off or else push CANCEL

Wait until tile oven iscool.

DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean
the oven door gasket. The gasket on tile oven door is essentialfor a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move
the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT usealuminum foil to line the
oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fine powdered ashyou can whisk away with a damp cloth.

Preparing the Oven for Serf-Cleaning

1. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning
cycle. Toclean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with
a high sugar or acid content (such astomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)

to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (seeillustration). These areas
heat sufficiently during a self-clean cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap and

water.

3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not

withstand high (:leaning temperatures.

4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. Ifthey go through the clean

DO NOT use the surface element in serf-dean mode, m

During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements, when used, are subjected to high heat. Toensure maximum element life,

do not usethe surface element during a self-clean cycle.

What to Expect During Cleaning

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal

expansion and contraction are normal. Odor isalso normal asthe food soil isbeing removed. Smoke may appear through the oven
vent, located on the top of the control panel.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal
and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colourless vapor.

Setting the Controls for a Clean Cycle

For the setting of tile clean cycle, refer to tile section on the timer or Electronic oven control.

Upswept lift cooktop (some modeJs)

On some models, tile cooktop, when equipped with coil elements, can be raised to facilitate
cleaning of the panel.
To raise tile cooktop, grab the sides and lift from the front. Use the two sliding wire supports
located on each side of the cooktop and pull them toward you, to the lock position, inorder to
maintain the cooktop in the raised position while cleaning the panel.

Use clean, shiny pans. Blackened pans may cause burning of bottora. Useflat bottom pans.
Warped pans may cause uneven baking.

If bottom of foods burns, raisethe rack. If top of foods istoo brown, lower the rack.

Baking time too long. Frequently opening the oven door to check doneness. Oven temperature drops I0°C (I 8%)

or more each time door is opened. Set for shortest baking time and check baking process
only at end of set time. Check baking progress through the window if available.
