IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
RADIANT COOKTOP
•Know which knob or key controls each surface
heating area. Place cookware with food on the
cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking
area off before removing the cookware.
•Cookware handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface elements — To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the cookware should
be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does
not extend over other cooking areas.
•Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the
surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on
the cooking area will improve efficiency.
•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 recom-
mendations for cooktop use.
•Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
•Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-
overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that
may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be
damaged and may damage the cooktop.
•Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a
broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not
designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may
result in a fire.
•When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS AND
CERAMIC COOKTOPS
•Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spill-
overs may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
•Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
•Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
•Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-
market oven liners, or any other materials or
devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any
other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as
recommended for baking, such as lining cookware
or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of
protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
•Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). 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.
•Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items can melt or ignite.
•Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.
Use potholders and graspthe rack with both hands
to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils
before moving the rack.
•Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off
and the power resumes, electric surface
elements may resume operation when power is
restored. Once the power resumes, reset the
clock and the oven function.
CAUTION

vent hoods.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF
CLEANING OVENS
•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 commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the appli-
ance.
•Use the self clean cycle to clean only the parts
listed in this manual.
•Before using self clean, remove the broiler pan,
any food, utensils, and cookware from the oven,
storage drawer or warming drawer (if equipped).

Using Proper Cookware
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware (See Figure 1). Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
heating element (See Figure 2). For detailed information
about the ceramic cooktop, refer to the“Cooktop Mainte-
nance (cont’d)” on page 32.
Cookware Material Types
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 and pitting). If aluminum pans
slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal
marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these
marks immediately.
•Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily
(See Aluminum).
•Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
•Cast Iron - A slow 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 size and type of cook-
ware used will influence the
radiant element power level
setting needed for best cook-
ing results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for
using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figure 1 and
Figure 2.
Figure 1: Testing cookware
Figure 2: Proper cookware
• 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
size.
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting
point of cookware made with these materials may be
reached quickly especially if left empty, and they may
bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will
damage the cooktop. Be sure to follow all the cookware
manufacturer’s suggestions when using any type of
cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
(White glass cooktops only). Due to the high intensity of
heat generated by the surface elements, the glass
surface will turn green when the element is turned off.
This phenomenon is normal and the glass will return to its
original white color after it has completely cooled down.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
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 under-
neath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of
the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed
cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and their 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.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
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.
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
When a burner is turned on the ELEMENT ON indicator
light will glow. The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn
on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will
remain on until the surface has cooled to a safe tempera-
ture after the burner is turned off. The ELEMENT ON
indicator light will glow when one or more elements are
turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface
elements are turned off.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or
work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the
cooktop may crack it.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop
surface. Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface
(without cooking utensil) is not recommended as difficult
cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause
potential fire hazard.
Always lift cookware before moving on ceramic glass
cooktop. Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms
can scratch the ceramic cooktop. Always start with clean
cookware.
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 will damage the ceramic
cooktop.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
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 smooth top. Cycling at the
HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too
small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is
not flat.
Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section
and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and
Care Guide.
The element on and hot surface indicator lights will glow
when the element is turned on and will continue to glow
after the control knob is turned to the OFF position. It will
glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if
the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has
turned off.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Home Canning
‘
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning proce-
dures.
Home Canning Do’s and Don’ts
•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. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.
•Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
•It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on
electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center
canners on the burner grates.
•Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
•Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
•Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully.
Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural
Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for
the latest canning information.
•It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
•Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high
heat for an extended amount 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.
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to
vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that
harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are
sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously
for the required time.
CAUTION

11
Surface Control Settings
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type
of food being cooked will influence the surface element
power level setting needed for best cooking results.
Use Table 1 to determine the correct setting for the type of
food you are preparing.
Single Radiant Surface Elements (some models)
The cooktop has two or three single radiant surface
elements: the left rear position, the right rear position. The
left rear element may also be used with the bridge element.
To operate the single radiant surface elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (See Figure 3). Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface
element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending
beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Table 1: Recommended settings for surface elements
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI) Start most foods; bring water to a boil and
pan broiling.
MEDIUM
HIGH (8-10) Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat frying
MEDIUM (6) Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and
gravies; steaming vegetables
MEDIUM
LOW (2-4) Keep foods cooking; poaching and stewing
LOW (LO) Keep warm, melting and simmering
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. A glowing
red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom
edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small
for the surface heating area. Never straddle cookware
between two surfaces unless designed for that purpose.
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.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain
cookware or any material that can melt to make contact
with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
NOTE
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The hot surface 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.
Figure 3: Control knob single surface burner
The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly
on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide
and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface
element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. Refer to Table 1 for suggested settings.
CAUTION
NOTE

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Dual Surface Radiant Element (some models)
The expandable burner can handle 9 inch or 12 inch
cookware. This dual burner is especially useful for bringing
large cookware to boil for canning or heating large amounts
of water.
To operate the dual surface element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob toward the inner
element side for smaller cookware or to the dual
element side for larger cookware (See Figure 4).
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to
a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A
glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is
too small for the surface heating area.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
Warmer Zone
The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the feature to keep
cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles,
soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.
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.
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 clean. Use only plates,
utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop
use on the warmer zone.
To set the keep warmer zone control:
1. Turn the warmer zone control knob clockwise to the ON
position. The warmer zone uses a pre-set temperature

Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on,
warm air is released through the vent. This venting is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the
openings with aluminium foil orany other material. Steam or
moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Type of oven racks
Oven Rack Descriptions
• 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 addi-
tional step down positions from the standard flat rack
design. The offset design positions the base of the rack
about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and
may be used in most oven rack positions.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset
oven 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.
Figure 7: Do not block oven vent location
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.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire.
All oven racks should be removed before a self clean
operation. Racks left in the oven during the high heat of
the self clean function can easily discolor.
The ability of the racks to easily slide in and out along the
rack positions may also be affected.
Remove all oven racks and clean according to instruc-
tions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this
manual. Never pick up hot oven racks or parts.

Setting Bake
Baking tips
For best bake results:
•Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads. When using any single
rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of
the oven.
•The convection fan will be on during preheat and then
turn off and on occasionally as needed.
•For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 3 with offset rack and 5
using flat rack (See Figure 12).
•When using two oven racks, position cookware as
shown in Figure 13. Allow at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm)
of space between cookware for proper air circulation.
•Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
Important: For batter and dough-based baked goods such
as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function
for best results.
Use the Bake function whenever a recipe calls for baking
using normal temperatures. When the set bake temperature
is reached the control will sound a chime to alert that the
oven is fully preheated.
Bake may be set for any temperature between 170°F
(77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
To set a bake for 350°F:
1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions for the
item(s) to be baked.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to the Bake position.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. The PREHEAT and the oven temperature light will turn
on and sound an acceptance tone. The oven will begin
heating.
5. When the set temperature is reached the PREHEAT
light will turn off and a reminder chime will sound
alerting you to place food in oven. Set either timer to
keep track of actual cooking time if necessary.
6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the
temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to
the OFF positions.
Note: Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the
cooking time necessary for best results.

Convection Cooking
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results
when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can be
programmed for convection baking at any temperature
between 170°F to 550°F. The convection function uses a
fan to circulate the oven heat uniformly and continuously
around the oven (Figure 14). This improved heat distribu-
tion allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It
also gives better baking results when using two oven racks
at the same time.
Benefits of convection cooking:
•Multiple rack baking.
•Some foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.
Convection baking tips:
•Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
•For single rack baking, position the rack so that food is
in the center of the oven.
•If your recipe cooking temperature has already been
converted for convection baking, there is no need to
reduce your oven temperature. If not, see “Setting
Convection Convert” on page 21 for further instructions
on temperature conversion.
•For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 3 with offset rack and 5
using flat rack (See Figure 14). When baking using two
oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 15.
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
cookware for proper air circulation.
•Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
•Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces
oven temperature and may extend cooking time.
•Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on
pans with no sides or low sides to allow air to circulate.
Setting Convection Bake
To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to
375°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT BAKE.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 375°F.
The oven temperature light will blink for a few seconds
before sounding a chime confirming the setting. The
convection fan will turn on and the oven will begin heating.
Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven will
sound a chime indicating the food items can be placed in
the oven.
When finished baking, be sure to return both the tempera-
ture selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF
positions.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Convert
Convection convert automatically converts a standard
baking recipe for convection baking. Convection convert
may only be used with convection bake.This feature must
be set before selecting the oven mode and oven tempera-
ture by using the user preference setting in the oven
display.
Because convection baking generally cooks food faster
than normal baking, food items should be checked for
doneness before the suggested normal recipe cook times.
To set convection convert:
1. The oven temperature selector must be in the OFF
position. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT
BAKE.
2. Press and hold both the oven light icon and the clock
icon for about 3 seconds until Aut° (automatic convec-
tion convert) appears in the display.
Press either the –or +key until On appears.
Turn the oven mode selector to the OFF position. The oven
will accept the convection convert setting with an accep-
tance chime and the control will return to display the time of
day. The convection bake function will now automatically
convert normal baking temperatures for convection baking.
To change back to regular convection baking, repeat the
same steps in this process and press the + or - key until
OFF appears. Once the control accepts the change with a
chime, turn the oven mode selector to OFF.
Setting Convection Roast
Convection roast is best for cooking tender cuts of beef,
lamb, pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed
is desired. Convection roasting gently browns the exterior
and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the bake
element, convection element, broil element, and fan to
circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
Convection roasting tips:
•Use a broiler pan and grid, as well as a roasting rack
(available by mail order). The broiler pan will catch
grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent spatters.
The roasting rack will hold the meat. Make sure the
roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler
pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the grid or cover
the grid with aluminum foil.
•Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing
food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
•Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase the
cooking time necessary for best results.
•It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting
rack. Use a deep pan and place on rack position 1
(offset rack).
To set oven for convection roasting:
1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven.
2. Turn oven mode selector to CONV ROAST.
3. Turn oven temperature selector to desired roasting
temperature.
Note: Preheating the oven for convection roasting is not
necessary. At this time you may want to set TIMER as a
reminder for checking food.
Figure 16: Convection convert off (L) and on (R) Should an oven fire occur, do not open oven door, turn off
the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the
fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
