Important Instructions For Ceramic Glass
Cooktops
•Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is
broken, cleaning solutions and spills may
penetrate the cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
•Exercise caution when cleaning the cooktop. If a
wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
Important Instructions for Using your Cooktop
•Know which knob or keypad controls each surface
cooking zone. Place pan with food on the cooking
zone before turning it on. Turn the cooking zone off
before removing the pan.
•Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped
with induction cooking zones of different sizes.
Select utensils specifically manufactured or
approved for induction cooking. Pans should have
flat bottoms that match the induction cooking zone
size. Using the proper utensil on the cooking zone
will improve efficiency.
•To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spills due to unintentional contact
with the cookware, turn utensil handles inward and
do not extend them over other cooking zones.
•Never leave surface cooking zones unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spills
may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be
damaged and may damage the cooktop.
•When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn on the fan.
Important Instructions for Using Your Oven
•Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
•Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Induction Cooking Zones
Your cooktop is equipped with four induction cooking zones
of different sizes and a radiant heat warmer zone (Figure 1).
Benefits of Induction Surface Cooking
Fast and efficient - Induction cooking zones heat faster and
use less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil
and they are efficient when simmering.
A cooler cooktop - A unique feature of the induction cooking
zones is, whether it is turned on or off, the cooking zones
remain cooler than radiant type elements. Virtually no
wasted heat is produced since the heat begins with the
presence of cookware.
Easy cleanups - The cooler cooking zones make cleanup
easier. Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up
easily.
Magnetic detector - The cooking zone has a sensor that
automatically detects whether cookware is magnetic. This
will reduce accidental “turn-ons.”
Pan size detection - The pan size recognition sensor auto-
matically detects and adapts the induction cooking zones to
the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More responsive - Induction cooking zones are more
responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because
only the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and
will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.
Induction cooking directly heats the pan; heating will only
begin when cookware is properly placed on the cooking
zones.
Induction Cookware
When purchasing pans for use on the induction cooktop,
look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer
as induction ready, induction capable, or a similar statement
by the manufacturer that the cookware is specifically
designed for induction cooking.
The cooking zones will not activate if the cookware is not
constructed with a base magnetic material. To check if the
cookware base material is suitable, use a magnet to test
(Figure 2). If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware,
the material type is correct.
For the best possible surface cooking results, it is recom-
mended to only use high quality heavy gauge cookware on
the induction cooking zones. Be sure to follow all the manu-
facturer’srecommendations when using cookware made for
induction cooking.
Induction Cookware Types
The most common induction cookware types available are:
•Stainless steel - Generally excellent for induction
cooking. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
•Cast iron - Good for induction cooking. Cooks evenly.
Do not slide cast iron cookware on cooktop. Cast iron
cookware with a rough surface will scratch ceramic
cooktop.
•Porcelain-enamel coated metals - Heating characteris-
tics will vary depending on quality of base material.
Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid
scratching the ceramic cooktop.
Figure 1: Typical induction cooktop
Before using the induction cooking zones, be sure to
carefully read and follow these cookware recommenda-
tions and the instructions in the pan sensing section.
Figure 2: Testing a pan for magnetic properties
Not all stainless steel cookware is magnetic; stainless
steel is not always suitable for induction cooking.

Tips For Using the Cooking Zones
•Be sure to use cooktop cookware made with a magnetic
base material.
•Use quality cooktop cookware with heavier bottoms for
better heat distribution, allowing for more even cooking
results.
•Check that cookware bottom rests level on cooktop
surface. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire induction cooking zone
area. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Figure 3).
•Be sure cookware is properly balanced and does not tilt
from a heavy handle.
•Be sure that the pan size matches the amount of food to
be prepared. The size and type of cookware used will
influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
•Never let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent
damage such as breakage, fusion, or marring that can
affect the cooktop.
•Use cookware that meets the minimum and maximum
cookware size requirements for each cooking zone.
Moving Cookware on a Smoothtop
It is recommended to always use heavier gauge high quality
cookware on the cooking zones. Even high quality
cookware can still scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide
cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Sliding any type of cookware over the surface will scratch
the cooktop over time. Scratches will make cleaning the
ceramic cooktop difficult and degrade the appearance of
the cooktop.
See “Care and Cleaning” beginning on page 37 for more
detailed information about the cooktop.
Figure 3: Checking the pan for flatness
•Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic
glass smoothtop.
•Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms can
mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface. Always
start with clean cookware.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Pan Sensing
The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop
surface require that certain cookware conditions are met
before the induction cooking zones can operate.
The cooking zone display windows may display a pan
sensing error message. If a cooking zone is activated and
no cookware is detected, the affected induction cooking
zone display window will flash with the last power level
request setting (Figure 5). If the cookware does not meet
the correct conditions, the cooking zones may not heat.
A flashing error message as illustrated in Figure 5 can be
generated by those conditions. Use Figure 6 as a guide to
help to correct the problem or problems before attempting
to reactivate any of the cooking zones.
If the problem or problems are not corrected, the affected
cooking zone will automatically deactivate after 3 minutes.
Figure 5: Power boost power level setting
It is recommended that you lower the requested power
level setting before correcting the pan sensing message.
NOTE
Figure 6: Potential cooking zone Issues
Correct Incorrect
• Cookware centered correctly
on cooking zone.
• Flat pan bottom and straight
sides.
• Pan size meets or exceeds
the recommended minimum
size for cooking zone.
• Pan rests completely and is
level on the cooktop
surface.
• Pan is properly balanced.
• Pan does not meet the minimum
size required (too small) for
cooking zone.
• Pan bottom rests on cooktop
edge.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Cookware not centered on
cooking zone.
• Curved or warped pan bottoms
or sides.
• Cookware base material has
good magnetic characteristics. • Cookware base material is
non-magnetic.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Minimum and Maximum Pan Size
Induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in
order to activate. The graphics on each cooking zone
location are your guide to the correct minimum pan size for
that zone.The shorter lines guide the minimum pan
size.The longer lines guide the maximum pan size. The
cookware bottom must meet the minimum and maximum
area requirements for the heating process to begin. See
Figure 7 below for the pan size requirements for each
cooking zone location.
If a pan that is induction-capable is centered properly but is
too small, the affected cooking zone display will flash the
last power level setting and the pan will not heat. Select a
larger pan that meets the minimum size requirement to
activate the selected cooking zone.
Do not use pans with bottoms that extend more than 1/2”
(13mm) beyond any of the longer line marks provided on
the cooktop. The cookware must make full contact with the
ceramic glass surface. Cookware should not rest on or
touch the metal edges of the cooktop.
The type and size of cookware, cooking duration, number of
cooking zones in use and their power level settings are all
factors that affect the amount of heat that will spread
beyond the cooking zones. Induction cooking zones and
areas surrounding the cooking zones may become hot
enough to cause burns. Be sure to read all cautions.
Hot Cookware and Residual Heat
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe the following points when
home canning with your appliance.
Check with the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) website. Be sure to read all the available informa-
tion as well as follow the recommendations for home
canning procedures.
•Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
•Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a range with a ceramic glass cooktop.
•Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the cooking zone markings. It is recom-
mended to use smaller diameter canners on ranges
with ceramic glass or open coil electric cooktops.
•Start with hot tap water to boil more quickly. Use the
highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a
boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
•It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
•Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high
heat for extended amounts of time.
•Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to
avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

Unlike radiant surface elements, induction cooking zones
do not glow red when hot. The glass surface may be hot
from residual heat transferred from the cookware and
burns may occur. Do not touch hot cookware or pans
directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or potholders
to protect hands from burns.
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to prevent burns. Raise the lid to vent
steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful
micro-organisms are destroyed and jars seal completely.
When canning in a water bath canner, continuously
maintain a gentle but steady boil for the required time.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Cooktop Display Windows
The range backguard provides a digital window for each
cooking zone on the cooktop. Power levels and messages
are monitored and controlled using the window displays in
combination with the corresponding control knobs.
Available Power Level Settings
The cooktop control (Figure 8) displays power levels
ranging from Lo to Hi to Pb (Figure 9) in a display window
located above each control dial. The settings range is
between 1.5 and 9.5 (Figure 10), adjustable in 0.5 incre-
ments.
Use the suggested cooking zone power level settings table”
on page 13 to determine the correct power level setting for
the type of food you are preparing.
Power Boost (Pb) Power Level
When setting an induction cooking zone for Hi, the display
will initially show Pb power level for up to 10 minutes
(Figure 9). After 10 minutes the cooking zone will automati-
cally return to the Hi setting. The Pb setting is only available
immediately after activating a cooking zone by turning the
knob to Hi.
Hot Element (HE) Surface Window Message
When using a cooking zone, the cooktop may become very
hot. After turning any cooking zone off, the cooktop may
remain hot for some time. The corresponding HE
(Figure 11) message displays until the cooktop has cooled.
ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will display flashing Er (Figure 12) at
power up or after a power failure for any surface control
knob not in the OFF position. If a power failure should
occur, set all surface control knobs to OFF (Figure 8). This
will reset the surface controls.
Also, reset the clock (page 20). Once the surface controls
have been set to off and the clock has been set with the
correct time of day, the surface controls should return to
normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and
the Er message remains in any display after following these
procedures, contact an authorized service provider for
assistance.
Lockout Window Message
The (- -) message appears whenever Lockout, self clean, or
Sabbath is active (Figure 13). See “Setting Oven Lockout
Feature” on page 22 for more details.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Operating Induction Cooking Zones
Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then
adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The suggested settings provided in the table below may
vary slightly, depending on the cookware design, quality
and amount of food being prepared.
Be sure to use quality cookware that is constructed with
magnetic base material and meets the minimum and
maximum pan size requirements.
Pan Preheat Recommendations
Be aware that induction cooking may decrease the amount
of time required to preheat a cooking utensil compared to
cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface
burner.
Whenever using the cooktop or oven always pay close
attention to all food items cooking and remain very attentive
until all the cooking processes are complete.
To operate induction cooking zones:
1. Place induction cookware on the desired cooking zone.
2. To activate a cooking zone, push in and turn the control
knob in either direction to the desired setting.
3. Adjust the power level by turning the knob. This will
increase or decrease the power level in 0.5 increments
from 1.5 to 9.5. Lo is the lowest power level available.
4. Once cooking is complete, turn the control knob off and
remove cookware.
Cooktop Operational Noises
The electronic processes involved with induction cooking
may create some background noises. You may hear aslight
“buzzing” sound when cooking on the cooktop.
These noises are part of the induction cooking process are
considered normal.
Some cookware will “buzz” depending on the construction
or base material. The buzz may be more noticeable if the
contents of the pan are cold. As the pan heats up, the noise
will decrease. The noise will also decrease if the power
level setting is reduced.
Table 1: Suggested power level settings
Settings Type of Cooking
Power boost (Pb) Use to heat pans with large amounts of food or to bring
large pans of water to boil
High (8.0 - Hi) Start most foods, bring water to
a boil, pan broiling
Medium high (5.0 - 8.0) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep
fat fry
Medium (4.0 - 5.0) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies or steam
vegetables
Medium low (2.0 - 4.0) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew (3.0 or lower is a simmer
setting)
Low (Lo - 2.0) Keep warm, melt, simmer
•The suggested power level settings are based on
cooking with medium sized pans with lids. Be sure to
make any further setting adjustments needed for best
surface cooking results.
•The size and type of utensil used, and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
NOTE
Remember that induction surface cooking will initially
heat the cooking utensil very quickly.
When using the induction cooktop, operational noises are
more noticeable while cooking at the power boost level.
Very loud noises are not part of normal induction cooking.

Warmer Zone
The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep foods (vegeta-
bles, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries
and oven-safe dinner plates) at serving temperature
(Figure 14).
For best results:
•When warming pastries or breads, the cover should
have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
•Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt
onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
•Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recom-
mended for oven and cooktop use.
Food Poisoning Hazard.Do not let food sit for more than
1 hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food
poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil suchas
milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the
refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand
in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins
and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.
Figure 14: Warmer zone cooktop location
Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the
warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should
be covered with a lid to maintain quality.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
•Unlike radiant surface elements, induction cooking
zones will not glow red when they are hot. The glass
surface may be hot from residual heat transferred
from the cookware and burns may occur.
•Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with
hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to
protect hands from burns.
•The cooking zones may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. The glass surface may still
be hot from residual heat and burns may occur if the
cooktop is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
•Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite if placed too close to hot cookware.
•The hot element (HE) message will appear in the
display windows once a heating element or cooking
zone is turned off and will remain on until the heating
surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.
•Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop.
If these items melt on the cooktop they may damage
the ceramic cooktop.
•If the cookware is moved from the center of any active
induction cooking zone, the pan sensor will detect the
situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The
affected cooking zone display window will flash until
the cookware is moved back to center of cooking
zone.
•If the cookware is placed back properly centered on
the cooking zone, the zone will resume heating. The
cooking zone will remember the power level setting
for up to 3 minutes before the cooking zone will auto-
matically shut off.

•The warmer zone produces radiant heat, but will not
glow red when hot.To avoid possible burns always
use potholders or oven mitts when moving food to
and from the warmer zone as cookware and plates
will be hot.
•Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled.
•Do not place flammable items such as plastic 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.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the
oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting
is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Do not block the oven vent.
Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is
normal.
Types of Oven Racks
•Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be
used for most cooking needs and may be placed in
most oven rack positions.
•The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design.
The offset design positions the base of the rack about a
half rack position lower than the flat rack and may be
used in most oven rack positions.
•The bottom oven rack (some models) allows you to
maximize oven cooking space by using the lowest rack
position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.
•The “Effortless™ Oven Rack System” (some models) is
described on page 17.
Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Racks
•To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
•To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack
slightly and slide out.
•To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on
both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack
upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place.
Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Completely remove all oven racks and any cooking
accessories from the oven before performing a self clean
function in order to avoid damage to the racks. If oven
racks are not removed before a self clean, they will lose
their special coating and will no longer slide in and out of
the oven cavity effortlessly.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.Remove all racks and accessories prior to starting
a self clean cycle.

Effortless™ Oven Rack System
Some models are equipped with a special oven rack
system that automatically extends the oven rack to assist in
access to your food items. This rack extends when the oven
door is opened or closed (Figure 18 below).
Remove all oven racks and accessories before starting a
self clean cycle. If the oven racks are left in the oven
during the self clean cycle, the gliding ability of the Effort-
less™ Oven Rack system will be damaged, and oven
racks will loose their shiny finish and may turn blue.
Remove all oven racks and clean according to instruc-
tions provided in “Care and Cleaning” beginning on
page 37.
Make sure the oven and oven racks are completely cool
before attempting to assemble or disassemble the Effort-
less™ Oven Rack system. Never pick up hot oven racks
or parts.

To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied
oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a
special dark coating on the left and right rack sides) and
the two supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Be sure the oven is completely cool before proceeding.
3. Open the oven door.
4. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3, or 4 only
(Figure 19 to verify positions). Be sure the rack
connector brackets are at the rear of the range and
pointing towards oven bottom (Figure 20).
5. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven
door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of
the connector arm to the hole in the door connector
bracket (Figure 21) and the other end in the hole in the
rack connector bracket (Figure 22). The oven rack may
need to be adjusted in or out in the rack position to
match the length of the connector arm.
6. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the
connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point
upwards (Figure 23). The connector arm should now be
locked into position (Figure 24).
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other connector arm.
8. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be
sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing
the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of
the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.
