Before Cooking with Smoothtop Elements
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of seriouspersonal injury never cook on
abroken smoothtop cooking surface. Spilloversor
cleaners can penetrate surface and create a risk of
electrical shock. If smoothtop cooking surface breaks,
discontinueuse and notify an authorizedservicer
immediately.
• Beforecookingon smoothtop, wipe top with cleaner
conditioner. Conditioning smoothtop before use makes
marksand stains easier to remove.
• Useheavy-gaugemetalcookwarenotincludingcast
iron.
• Bottom of cookware must be flat. Cookware that is
warped or slightly curved on the bottom heats slowly
andmaynot boil water.Cookwarewithan aluminum
disk bottom makes excellent contact with cooking
surface.See UtensilRecommendations sectionfor
moreinformation.
• Donotuse glass, glass-ceramic, or enamel-porcelain
cookware.Small imperfections on bottom of such
cookwarecanscratch smoothtop surface.
• Smoothtopcooking surface is not “scratch proof”.

For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom.
Determine if pan has a flat bottom.
1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat,
gapsbetween bottom of panand edge of ruleroccur.
2. A small groove or mark on a pan does not affect
cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed
rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook
efficiently and in some cases may not boil liquid.
Use Flat Bottom Pans
Cooking Utensils
• Use proper pan size. Do not use a pan that has a
bottom smaller than element. Do not use utensils that
overhangelement by more than 1inch.
More than
1 inch overhang
Correct Size
Use Proper Pan Size
• Select utensils without broken or loose handles.
Handles should not be heavy enough to tilt pan.
• Do not use a wok with a ring stand. Use flat bottom
wok.
Use Flat Wok
Utensil Recommendations
Canning
Canningisnot recommended with Caloric’s smoothtop
rangesdue to the intense heat andlarge cookware
requiredtocan.
Theheatgeneratedbythecanning cookware overheats
both the elements and the smoothtop of the range. This
can cause the smoothtop to crack, cause failure of the
heating elements, and can cause damage to the
backguard.
Damage incurred by canning, or attempting to can, using
thesmoothtopcooktop is not covered under warranty.

Whenfirst using the oven, follow recipetimes and
temperatures.Beforeadjustingoven baking temperature,
test a recipe by using a temperature set higher or lower
thantherecommendedtemperature.Thebakingresults
should help you decide how much adjustment is needed.
Priorto adjusting the baking temperature, checkfor

Introduction
These ranges provide standard Baking and Broiling,
and in some models Convection Baking and Broiling.
During Convection Baking and Broiling, the oven fan in
the rear of the oven cavity circulates air while the oven
cooks. The circulating air provides even browning and
faster baking and broiling times.
When a convection oven is set to standard mode, the
CONVECTION/STANDARD switch next to electronic
range control is pressed towards “STANDARD” and
does not glow. To set oven to Convection Cooking,
press switch towards “CONVECTION”. The switch
glows and the oven fan operates. When cooking is
complete, press switch towards “STANDARD” to
turn fan off.
Element and Fan Location
A—Upper Element (Broil)
B—Lower Element (Bake)
C—Convection Fan (Some models)
Bake
Upper and lower elements operate during bake. Upper
element is only used to heat oven quickly and brown
top of food. Bake can be used to cook foods that are
normally baked. Oven must be preheated.
Broil
Upper element operates during broil. Broil can be used
to cook foods which are normally broiled. Preheating is
not required when using broil. All foods should be
turned at least once except fish, which does not need
to be turned.
Convection Bake (some models)
Upper element, lower element, and fan operate during
convection bake. Upper element is only used to heat
oven quickly and brown top of food. Convection bake
should be used for cooking casseroles and roasting
meats. Oven should be preheated for best results when
using convection bake. Pans do not need to be
staggered. Cooks approximately 25% quicker than
standard bake.
Convection Broil (some models)
Upper element and fan operate when using convection
broil. Convection broil can be used to cook foods that
are normally broiled. Oven does not require preheating
when using convection broil. Cooks approximately 25%
quicker than standard broil.
Dehydrate (some models)
Uses convection fan with oven at low temperature
(approx. 170ºF). Dehydration is an excellent way to
preserve fresh foods.

Broiling or Convection Broiling
Broiling system generates immediate, intense heat using
a special reflector. This reflector focuses heat directly on
thefood;searinginnaturaljuicesandprovidingrestaurant
quality, charbroiled flavor.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of fire, do not line the broiler grid with
foil.
• Foil may trap grease on top of grid close to burner
causing a fire.
• Neverleaveoven unattended whilebroiling.
Overcookingmay result in a fire.
Broiling Tips
• Removeexcess fat from meat before broiling.Cut
edgesof meat to prevent curling.
• Place food on a cold ungreased broiling pan. If pan is
hot, food sticks.
• All food except fish should be turned at least one time.
Begin broiling with skin side down.
• Season meat after it has browned.
• Broilingdoesnotrequirepreheating.
• Begin cooking using suggested rack levels in Broiling
Guide section to test broiler results. If food is not brown
enough, cook on a higher rack position. If food is too
brown, cook on a lower rack position.
