to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.
• Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn off
the main gas shutoff valve.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease
Fires—Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the potholders

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface
heating unit.
• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is
equipped with one or 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 clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit
will 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.
The handle of the utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface unit.
•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
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 appliance. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover
placed on the food. Any other used 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 suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element
Covers— If an element is accidentally turned
on, the decorative cover will become hot and
possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers
are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop
— If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with
sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer—
Stand to the side of the appliance when opening
the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in
the oven/warmer drawer.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The
oven is vented at the front above the oven door
or through the rear of cooktop. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating
may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven/Warmer Drawer (if
equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped)
is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack
before removing rack. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands
to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the
hot oven element or interior of the oven/warmer
drawer (if equipped).
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to
drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler.
•Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer
(if equipped) grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power
to the appliance before removing and replacing
light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust
fan ventilation hoods and grease filters
should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could
catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
• Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners
and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or
injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the
parts of the oven listed in this owner’s guide.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove all utensils
stored in the oven.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks will be
damaged if left in the oven during a self-cleaning
cycle.
Important safety notice
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements
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. Heat is transferred
up through the surface of the cooktop to the
cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be
used. The type and size of cookware, the number
of surface elements in use and the settings, are all
factors that will affect the amount of heat that will
spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The
areas surrounding the elements may become hot
enough to cause burns.
The element temperature rises gradually and
evenly. As the temperature rises, the 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.
Your range is equipped with radiant surface
burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to
heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases
as the element wattage increases.
Surface Cooking
About the ceramic glass
cooktop
About the radiant surface
elements
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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is
normal and can also occur if the cookware is too
small for the radiant element or if the cookware
bottom is not flat.
Please read detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning
section and Solutions to Common Problems
section of this Use and Care Guide.
Surface cooking utensils
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some
utensils were not made to be used in the oven or
on the cooktop.
*GOOD
• Flat bottom and
straight sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to element
surface diameter.
POOR
• Curved and warped
pan bottoms.
• Pan overhangs unit
by more than 2.5 cm
(1”).
• Heavy handle tilts
pan.
• Pan is smaller than
element.
Pans should have flat bottoms.
Check for flatness by rotating
a ruler across the bottom.
There should be no gaps
between the pan and ruler.
*Specialty pans such as
lobster pots, griddles and
pressure cookers may be used but must conform to
the above recommended cookware requirements.

16 Surface Cooking
Cookware material types Setting the cooktop
Available cooktop settings
Element size indicators
The cookware material determines how evenly and
quickly heat is transferred from the surface element
to the pan bottom. The most popular materials
available are:
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some
types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized
aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If
aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may leave metal marks which
will resemble scratches. Remove these marks
immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors
easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass
(see Aluminum above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with
uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean
and resists staining.
CAST IRON - Apoor heat conductor however will
retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking
temperature is reached. Not recommended for use
on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating
characteristics will vary depending on 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 glass.
The cooktop control provides 5 digital display
windows to help set power levels for the heating
zones located on the cooktop. These settings work
the same way as normal knob settings except the
settings are displayed in LCD style displays.
Your control provides 25 different settings for each
heating zone. Some of these power levels include
Lo (1%) Fig. 1, 5.0 (medium 50%) Fig. 2, Hi
(100%) Fig. 3.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3
Some cooktop zone positions offer 2 or 3 different
element sizes. At these locations, you may choose
to use the single inner heating ring only or you may
add 1 or 2 more heating rings with each press of
the BURNER SIZE key.
The number of circles displayed at the element
zone LCD represents the number of heating rings
available for that position.
The hi+ and lo- keys provide incremental
adjustments for more precise control when
changing settings between the lower heat levels
(Lo to 3.0 power levels). Higher heat level setting
changes (between 3.0 to HI) will change much
faster.
Display Setting Changes

Hot element (HE) message
After using any of the
radiant element positions
the ceramic cooktop will
become very hot. Even
after turning the control off,
the cooktop will remain hot
for some time.
The cooktop control
monitors the temperature
of the cooktop surface
and displays a message
“HE” (hot element) and
flashes the burner rings
when the cooktop is still too hot to touch -Fig. 1-.
If the HE message remains displayed in the LCD,
the heating zone may be set again and used for
cooking.
Fig. 1
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The
Hot Element Message Light will turn on and
will continue to glow until the glass cooktop
has cooled down to a moderate level. The
glass surface may still be hot and burns may
occur if the glass surface is touched before
the indicator light has turned OFF.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when it
is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

pans as much as possible.
• If using two racks, place the oven racks in
position 3 and 7.
• When placing multiple food items in the oven
allow 2-4” (5-10cm) of space between the food
items for proper air circulation (see figures for
more details).
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning
of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the
oven temperature or cook time to prevent
overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans
are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
