IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range,
the range must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip bracket. See installation
instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and
engaged properly, look underneath the
range to see that the rear leveling leg is
engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel
can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible,
slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to
the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under
the anti-tip bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this
procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.

How Induction Surface Cooking Works
The elements beneath the cooking surface produce a
magnetic field that generates heat in ferrous metal pans
that are in close proximity.
The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat is
produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be generated
until a pan is placed on the cooking surface.
When the element is activated, the pan begins to heat
immediately and in turn heats the contents of the pan.
Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of cookware
madeofferrousmetals—metalstowhichmagnetswill
stick, such as iron or steel.
Use pans that fit the element size. The pan must be large
enough for the element to detect the pan and be able to
deliver full power.
The cooktop will not operate if a very small steel or iron
utensil, such as a steel spatula, cooking spoon, knife
or other small utensil, is placed on the cooking surface
when the unit is turned on.
CAUTION
■ Theinductioncookingelementsmayappeartobecool
while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF.
The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat
transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
■ DONOTTOUCHHOTCOOKWAREorPANSdirectly
with hands. Always use mitts or pot holders to protect
hands from burns.
■ DONOTSLIDEcookwareacrossthecooktopsurface.
Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of
the ceramic cooktop.
Operating the Cooktop Elements
WARNING FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the
range unattended with the cooktop on. Keep
flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all
controls when done cooking. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire, serious injury or death.
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with
ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and
makes cleanup easier.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may
vary from your model.
Place your Induction designed cookware on the cooking
surface. Push the knob in and turn in either direction to
the setting you want.
A knob indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.
For glass cooktop surfaces:
A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will:

At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight
clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is maintaining
your desired setting.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.
Use the minimum size pan for the element. The
pan material is correct if a magnet sticks to the
bottom.

How To Synchronize Left Elements
NOTE: The left elements of the cooktop can be controlled
together via the Sync Burners feature. Sync Burners
feature is useful for cooking activities such as griddle
cooking. The Sync Burners feature is only intended for
cookware that completely spans both burners.
Knob Operation
1. Ensure both left element knobs are Off.
2. Turn the Sync Burners knob to the desired
heat setting.
Using the Warming Zone (on some models)
WARNING
FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at
temperatures below 140°F.
■ Always start with hot food. Do not use warm setting to
heat cold food.
■ Do not use warm setting for more than 2 hours.
The WARMING ZONE, located in the back center of
the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to
heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the
WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.
To turn the WARMING ZONE on, turn knob clockwise to
the setting you want.
For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE
should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When
warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented
to allow moisture to escape.
The initial temperature, type and amount of food, type of
pan, and the time held will affect the quality of the food.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing
food from the WARMING ZONE, since cookware and
plates will be hot.
Sync Burners
Cookware for Induction Cooktop
Using the correct size cookware
The induction coils require a minimum pan size to
function properly. Pans that are not ferrous or are too
small will not allow the induction elements to turn on, and
the ON indicator for that element location will flash for 25
seconds and then turn off. If a pan is removed from or not
centered on the induction coil for more than 30 seconds,
the power for that element will be shut off.
Cookware larger than the element ring may be used;
however, heat will only occur above the element.
For best results, the cookware must make FULL contact
with the glass surface. Cookware that is small may be
too light to compress the Precision Cooktop Sensor on
models with sensor on left front burner and should not
be used on that burner. Small pans with heavy handles
are likely to be incompatible with the Precision Cooktop
Sensor.
Do not allow the bottom of the pan or cookware to touch
the surrounding metal cooktop trim.
For best performance, match the pan size to the element
size. Using a smaller pot on a larger burner will generate
less power at any given setting.
Use the minimum size pan shown
for each cooking element.

Suitable Cookware
Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better
heat distribution and even cooking results. Choose
cookware made of magnetic stainless steel, enamel
coated cast iron, enameled steel or combinations of
these materials.
Some cookware is specifically identified by the
manufacturer for use with induction cooktops. Use a
magnet to test if the cookware will work.
Flat-bottomed pans give best results. Pans with rims or
slight ridges can be used.
Round pans give best results. Pans with warped or
curved bottoms will not heat evenly.
For wok cooking, use a flat-bottomed wok. Do not use a
wok with a support ring.
NOTE: The warming zone is NOT an induction element
and will work with flat bottomed cookware that is NOT
ferrous.
Cookware “Sounds”
Slight sounds may be produced by different types of
cookware. Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron
produce less sound than a lighter weight multi-ply
stainless steel pan. The size of the pan, and the amount
of contents, can also contribute to the sound level.
When using adjacent elements that are set at certain
power level settings, magnetic fields may interact and
produce a high pitch whistle or intermittent “hum”. These
sounds can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or
raising the power level settings of one or both of the
elements. Pans that completely cover the element ring
will produce less sound.
A low “humming” sound is normal particularly on high
settings.
Slight sounds, such as hums or buzzes, may be
produced by different types of cookware. This is normal.
Heavier and uniform material pans such as enameled
cast iron produce less sound than lighter weight multi-
layered stainless steel pans or pans that have bonded
disks on the bottom of the pan. The size of the pan, the
amount of contents in the pan, and the flatness of the
pan can also contribute to the sound level. Some pots
will “Buzz” louder depending on the material. A “Buzz”
sound may be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the
pan heats, the sound will decrease. If the power level is
reduced, the sound level will go down.
Pans that do not meet the minimum size requirements
for the burner can produce louder noises. They can
cause the controller to "search" for the pot and produce
a clicking and "zipping" sound. This can happen when
one burner is running or only when an adjacent burner
is also running. See User Manual for the minimum sized
pots for each burner. Only measure the flat, magnetic
bottom of the pot.
Power Control
If a surface unit is on power level H (high), for an
extended period of time or if multiple surface units are
on, there may be a slight reduction in power to the
surface unit. Water under pans may also cause the
controls to reduce the power delivered to the cookware.
Use a griddle.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Use flat-bottomed pans.

Oven Racks
Recommended rack positions for various types of
foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For
example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
YourOvenmayhaveextensionracksand/ortraditional
flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.
Extension Racks
Always pull the rack out by its upper front rail to its fully
open position, when placing or removing cookware.
If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the
racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your
oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in
the side tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite
lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom
tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the
rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
To order additional graphite lubricant, see the
Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end
of this manual.
To Remove An Extension Rack:
1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the
oven so that side paddles on the rack disengage from
the oven support.
2. Slide the rack toward you to the bump (stop position)
on the rack support.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the
sliding rack, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To Replace An Extension Rack:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the
sliding rack.
2. Place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the
oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push it
in as far as it will go.
If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe
the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil
on the rack slides.
To Lubricate the Paddle:
Shake lubricant and apply to the moving parts of the
paddle mechanisms as shown.
