more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of
undersizedutensils willexpose aportion ofthe surfaceheating
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
unintentionalcontact withthe utensil, the handle ofthe utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Settings
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 range. Only use aluminum foil
as recommended for baking. Any other use of protective liners
or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Glazed Cooking UtensilsOnly certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for rangetop use.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that
theelement ison. Burns willoccur ifthe hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the cooktop.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
Do Not Cook on 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.

Surface Cooking Ceramic-Glass Cooktop
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the surface
of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface
heating unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan
matches the diameter of the surface unit. Heat is transferred up through the
surface of the cooktop to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed pans should
be used. The type and size of the cookware, number of 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 areas surrounding the surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may cause it to crack.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods
directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) is never
recommended as discoloration and more difficult cleaning will result.
Your range may be equipped with any combination of the surface units
describedbelow.
Radiant Surface Units
The radiant surface unit's temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the
unit will cycle on and off. The surface heating unit retains enough heat to
provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture
thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat in the heating zone.
For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes before cooking is
complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking. The amount
of residual heat depends on the type and quality of cooking utensil, the
quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat setting.
Dual Radiant Surface Units (some models)
A control knob and rocker switch are used for operating the inner and outer
elements. The smaller unit has a lower wattage and can be used to prepare
smallerquantitiesoffoodsinsmallerpans.Thelargerunithasahigherwattage
and can be used to prepare larger quantities of food in larger pans. When
using the outer coil, both coils will operate.
There are two different surface control lights that will glow on your range
a surface signal light and a hot surface signal light for each surface unit.
The surface signal light, located on the control panel, glows when any surface
unit is turned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an easy check to
be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot surface signal light, located under the glass cooktop, will come on as
the surface cooking or warming area heats up and will continue to glow until
the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.

Setting Surface
Controls
Radiant Surface Unit Control
Dual Radiant Surface Unit Controls
To Operate Radiant Surface Units
Push in and turn the Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the
desired setting. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting; then turn to a
lower setting to finish. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the
unit. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark.
Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. Indicates inner coil only.
Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either
coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn the Dual
Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired setting.
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 glasstop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too small for the
element or if the pan bottom is not flat.
After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to
touch either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will turn
dark in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if the units
are touched at this time.
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 unit.

Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions
Set the warmer drawer rack in the vertical position as shown below.
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
 In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both
under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the
rack and a casserole dish under).
 In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items
and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates).

Setting Warmer Drawer
Controls
To Operate the Warmer Drawer
Your range is equipped with a warmer drawer. The purpose of the warmer
drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with
hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer.
All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum
foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the
warmer drawer.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be hot.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located below the thermostat control. It turns on when
the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The warmer
drawer is inoperable during the self-clean cycle. The indicator light will not
come on during the self-clean cycle.
To Set the Thermostat Control
The thermostat control is used to select the temperature of the warmer
drawer. It is located on the control panel. To set the thermostat, push in and
turn the knob to the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and
are designated by HI, MED and LO.
1. Select the temperature setting.
2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer
will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. When done, turn the thermostat control to OFF.
TemperatureSelection
Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended settings. If a particular
food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired,
remove the lid or aluminum foil.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.
When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with
2 vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.
Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat
from the drawer.
Use the warmer drawer to keep hot
foodshotsuch as: vegetables, gravies,
meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls,
pastries and heated dinner plates.
The warmer drawer is equipped with
a catch which may require extra force
whenopening and closingthedrawer.
