IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--Sta nd to the
side of the range 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. The oven vent
is located under the left rear surface element if your
model isequipped with coilelements. The oven vent is
located below the backguard for models equipped with
ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 interior oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. 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 heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not
cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fatand grease could ignite.
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.

SELF=CLEANING OVENS
•Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts
listed in this Use &Care Manual. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or
foods from the oven.
•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 oven.
•Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
• The health of some birds isextremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FORCLEANING
YOUR RANGE
•Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention
to the area around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.
•Kitchen deaners and aerosols=Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
=Clean ventilating hoods frequently=Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Followthe manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods.
FOR CERAMIC=GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
•Do not cook on broken cook top--If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
•Clean cook top with caution--If a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cookingarea, be careful to
avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on,
and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
Use proper pan size--This appliance isequipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve
efficiency.
Utensil 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 utensil should be positioned so that it is
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
Never leavesurface elements unattended at high
heat settingsJBoilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
Do not immerse or soak removable heating
elements=Heating elements should never be immersed
in water. Heating elements clean themselves during
normal operation.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
=When flaming foods under aventilating hood, turn
the fan on.
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.

Using proper cookware
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact
with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness
by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See
Figure 1).
Fig. 1
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figure 2.

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 & 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. May
leave metal marks on ceramic glass (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.
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting
point of some cookware may be reached if left on the
cooktop empty and then can bond to the ceramic cooktop.
If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be sure
to follow all the cookware manufacturer's suggestions
ii when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

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
underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
fiat-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.
Forefficient cooking, turn OFFthe element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Types of cooktop elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the
ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element
available. The single radiant element will have one round
outline pattern shown (keep warm zone is designed to
keep food warm only). The dual radiant element is flexible
because you may set just the smaller inner portion as a
single element or both inner and outer portions can be set
to heat together (See Fig. 1).

The Element ON indicator lights are located on the
control panel above each radiant element control knob and
will glow when a surface element isturned ON. A quick
glance at this indicator light after cooking isan easy check
to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The Hot
Surface indicator light located on the control panel will
glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will
remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a
MODERATE level.

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the surface
element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting.
This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic
smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the Care &Cleaning and
Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care
Manual.

Single radiant surface elements (all models)
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (Refer to the
Suggested radiant surface element settings
table Fig. 1). Start most cooking operations on a
higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish
cooking. 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 (See Fig. 2). 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 is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.

Dual radiant surface elements (some models)
Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of
the dual radiant element to set. The o symbol indicates a
setting for the inner coilonly. The ® symbol indicates a
setting for both inner and outer coils.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface
element.
.
.
Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise
(See Fig. 2) to begin heating both the inner and outer
portions of the dua! element. If only the inner heating
portion is needed for smaller cookware, push in and
turn the knob counter-clockwise (See Fig. 1).
When cooking iscomplete, turn the dual radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control
knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark.
Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed. 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.
You may switch from either single or dual element setting
at any time during cooking. See Suggested radiant

Keep warm (some models)
The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm 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. It is not recommended to heat
cold food on the keep warm zone. All food )laced on the
warming 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 dishware, utensils and cookware recommended
for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.
Setting the keep warm control:
.Push in either direction and turn the knob (See Fig 1).
The temperatures are approximate, and are designated
by hi and Io. However, the control can be set at any
position between hi and Io for different levels of
warming.

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) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
"Cookware material types" in the Before setting
surface controls section).
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning using a ceramic cooktop.
= Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner, It is recommended to use smaller
diameter canners on electric coiland ceramic glass
cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Usethe 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.
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 istouched before it has cooled sufficiently.
•Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
ii wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These
ii items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
Do not allow alu minu m foil, orANY material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop,
If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the
ceramiccooktop.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This may cause
the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the
control panel (See Fig. 1). 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.
Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent, this is
normal. Do not block the oven vent.

offset
oven rack bottom
oven rack
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) isdesigned to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than
normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible positions between the standard postions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven
rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking
and when roasting large cuts of meat.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow at least 2" (5 cm) around
cookware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the cookware.

Speed Bake (on some models)
Benefits of speed bake convection cooking:
*Cooks more evenly.
*Multiple rack baking.
*No special pans or bakeware needed.
How speed bake works
Speed bake uses a convectionfan to circulate the oven's
heat uniformly and continuouslyaround the oven (See
Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution eliminates hot spots
and allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It
also gives better baking results when using two racks at the
same time. Most foods will bake faster and more evenly
with the speed bake feature.

Press bake key pad. ----- .oappears in display.
Within 5 seconds, press A or V. The display will show
the default oven temperature of 350°F (177°C). By
pressing A or V, the oven temperature may be
adjusted in 5°F increments (1°C if the control is set to
display Celsius). When setting for speed bake, be sure
to set the oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to
550°F (288°C).
4. As soon as the A or V key pad is released, the oven
will begin heating to the selected temperature.
.Once the bake function isactive, press and release the
speed bake switch located on the backguard to start
speed bake. The speed bake indicator light will glow
when speed bake is active.
To cancel speed bake, press the off key. The off key also
turns offthe oven. If more cooking time is required, pro-
gram a new bake cycle.
For best baking results
* Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
*Reduce oven temperature 25°F from your recipe's
recommended oven temperature and use the minimum
recommended cooktime.
*When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
*For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 1).
*When baking using 2 oven racks, allow at least 2 inches
(5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air
circulation.
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.
Roasting"
*Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods with the
speed bake feature.
*Since speed bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook time
by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe.
Then if necessary, increase the time until the desired
doneness isobtained.
®
®
The speed bake fan will take 6 minutes to begin
rotating after the Speed Bake switch has been turned
ON. This is normal.
If the oven door is opened when speed bake isactive,
the fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.
Speed bake will not operate when clean is active.
Cook time reductions may vary depending on the
amount and type of food being cooked.
Set the oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to
550°F (288°C). If speed bake is active and the oven
temperature lowers below 300°F (149°C), the
convection fan and indicator light will turn off but the
oven will continue to bake at the lower oven
temperature.

Setting broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browing results.
When broiling always remember to arrange the oven
