IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
•Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door or warmer drawer (ifequipped)--Stand tothe
sideoftherangewhen openingthedoorofa hotoven.
Lethotairorsteam escapebeforeyou remove or replace
foodintheoven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent
is located under the left rear surface element if your
model isequipped with coil elements. 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
fat and 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.
FOR CERAMIC=GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
•Do not cook on broken cook top--lfcooktopshould
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.

IivIPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all
controls are turned OFFand the range isCOOL. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
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 cleaners and aerosolsmAIways 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.
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 is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycleof any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit.Placea pan of food onthe unit beforeturning it on,
and turn the unit off beforeremovingthe pan.
•Use proper pan size(radiant portion ofcooktop)--
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 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.
Use proper pan size (induction portion of cooktop)
--This appliance is equipped with one or more induction
cooking zones of different sizes. Select utensils
specifically manufactured and approved for induction
cooking that have flat bottoms that match the induction
cooking zone size. Proper relationship of utensil to
cooking zone will also improve efficiency.
•Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surfaceelements--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 leave surface elements unattended at high
heat settings -- Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
•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 cook top use.

Only the Effortless'" Oven Rack should be used in
oven rack position 2. Placing any other rack in rack
position 2 will prevent the oven door from fully closing.
The Effortless "MOven Rack (some models) is described
later in this section.

Effortless TM Oven Rack system
Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system
that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the
interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food
items. This feature works whenever the oven door is
opened or closed.
To assem ble the Effortless TM Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied
oven rack (Effortless TM Oven Rack isa flat rack with a
special dark coating on the left and right rack
sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven iscompletely
coolbefore proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4only (see
previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack
connector brackets are at the rear of the range and
pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. 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 (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the
rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The
oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack
position to match the length of the connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the
connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point
upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should
now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. 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.
Only the Effortless TM Oven Rack system should be
used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other rack
in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door
from fully closing and may damage the oven door,
oven cavity or the door connector brackets.
If the rack system is not assembled with the connector
arms the Effortless TM Oven rack may be used in oven rack
positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt to use the Effortless TM
Oven rack in rack position 1.

Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and 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 food.
Baking layer cakes with 1or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1). For
best results when using a single oven flat rack, place
cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2).
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Using the cooktop -radiant and induction
The hybrid cooktop offers two different cooking methods;
radiant heating elements on the left-hand side (Fig. 3) and
induction cooking zones on the right-hand side (Fig. 4).
Whenever using the cooktop it is very important to
remember the differences between radiant and induction
types of cooking. The cookware you use and cooking results
will be different depending on the side of the cooktop you
choose when surface cooking or heating liquids.
The graphics provided on the ceramic cooktop outlines
the areas to place cookware for the radiant elements
and the induction cooking zones.
Radiant element cooking - Cookware will absorb the heat
that radiates from the elements located underneath the
cooktop glass. Cooking utensils manufactured for use with
ceramic radiant cooktops are available in many styles and
types of base materials.
Induction zone cooking- Heats cookware directly.
Induction cooking works only with cookware made of a
magnetic base material, such as cast-iron or in most
stainless steel pans. Remember that induction cooking will
initially heatthe cooking utensil very quickly.

About the ceramic glass cooktop
The type and size of cookware, cooking duration, the
number of surface elements or cooking zones in use and
their power level settings are all factors that will affect the
amount of heat that will spread beyond the surface
elements or cooking zones.
The areas surrounding the elements or cooking zones may
become hot enough to cause burns. Be sure to read
all cautions,
• 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.
• Unlike radiant surface elements, the induction 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.
ii
ii • Do not slide cookware across cooktop surface. Doing
so may permanently damage the appearance of the
ii ceramic cooktop.
ii
• Whether using the radiant element or induction cooking
zone portions of the ceramic cooktop, sliding cookware
on any portion of the glass surface can mark and
scratch the ceramic glass.
• Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms can
mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface.
For more information about the cooktop see"Cooktop
maintenance" and "Cooktop cleaning" in the Care &
Cleaning section.
About the radiant surface elements
Radiant element temperatures will rise 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.
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 smoothtop. Cycling at the
HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the
cookware istoo small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.

Fig. 1
For efficient cooking, turn OFF the radiant elements several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.
The SpaceWise'" bridge feature (See Fig. 1) allows the
user to set the left front element along with the left middle;
and if desired add the left rear single elements into one
combined cooking area.
The left front and left rear radiant elements may also be
used assingle independent radiant heating elements
whenever needed.

About the induction cooking zones
Induction cookingdirectly heats the pan; heating will only
begin when cookware is placed on the zones. Two induction
cookingzones are available (See Fig. 1).

Benefits of induction cooking zones:
Fast and efficient -The induction cooking zones heat
faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are
quick to boil and efficient when simmering.
A cooler cooktop - A unique feature of the induction
cooking zones are whether turned on or off, the cooking
zones remain cooler than radiant elements. Virtually no
wasted heat is produced since the heat begins with the
presence of cookwa re.
Easy cleanups - The cooler cooking zone (when compared
to radiant elements) makes cleanups easier. Spills resist
sticking or burning so they wipe up easier.
Magnetic detector - The cooking zone has a sensor that
automatically detects whether cookware is magnetic. This
will reduce accidental "turn-ons", such as setting down
utensils on a hot element like spatulas or spoons.
Pan size detection -The pan size recognition sensor
automatically detects and adapts the induction cooking zones
to the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More responsive =The 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.
Use cookware with magnetic based material
Induction cooking works only with cookware made with
magnetic base material such as cast-iron or most stainless
steel cookware. When purchasing cookware for induction
cooking, look for cookware specifically identified by the
manufacturer for use with induction cooktops or marked
"Induction Ready". If you are not sure, use a magnet to test
whether the pan material type will work. If a magnet sticks
to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct.
Operational noises
The electronic processes involved with induction cooking
may create some unusual background noises. You could
hear a slight"buzz" sound when cooking. These noises are
normal and are a part of the induction cooking process.
Some cookwa re will "buzz" louder depending on the
material. The "buzz" sound may be more noticeable if the
contents of the pan are cold; as the pan heats up, the
sound will decrease. If the power level setting is reduced,
the sound level will also decrease.
When using the induction cooktop, operational noises
are more noticeable while cooking at the"Pb" level. Very
loud noises are not part of normal induction cooking.
Unlike radiant surface elements, the induction 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.
• Do not slide cookware across cooktop surface. Doing
so may permanently damage the appearance of the
ceramic cooktop.

Cooktop power level display windows
The cooktop power level display features provide a digital
display for each of the heating positions located on the
cooktop. Power levels are easily controlled and monitored
using the window displays in combination with the
corresponding control touch pads.
Available power level settings
The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi
(Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig. 5) and OFF (Fig. 6).
The settings between 9,5 (Fig. 2) and 3,0 (Fig. 3) decrease
or increase in .5 increments. The settings between 3,0 (Fig.
3) and 1,2 (Fig. 4) are simmer settings which decrease or
increase in increments of .2 for more precision at bower
heat levels. Use the "Suggested power level settings
table" provided later in this section to determine the
correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.
Power level settings=induction cooking zones only
When setting either induction cooking zone to the highest
level, the display will show Pb (Power Boost) power level
for up to 10 minutes (See Fig. 7). After 10 minutes the
cooking zone will automatically lower to the Hi setting. The
Pb setting is only available immediately after activating a
hi power level keypad.
cooking zone and pressing the A
HOt surface window message (HE)
After using a radiant element or induction cooking zone the
cooktop may be very hot. After turning any of these
elements OFF, the cooktop may remain HOT for some time.
The corresponding lie (hot element -Fig. 8) message will
remain ON and turn OFF once that element position on the
cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 6).

The induction cooktop will not operate when the oven is
set for Sabbath mode. To set the Sabbath Day feature
for the oven, see Setting Oven Controls section.

Beforeusingtheinductionzones,besuretocarefully
read and follow any cookware recommendations and
the section about pan sensing.
Use quality cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to read the
following recommendations for cookware.
Cookware should have flat
bottomsthat make good contact t_
with the entire heating element '_
or induction zone. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 1).
Cookware recommendations -
radiant elements
Radiant elements
on cooktop marked space wise
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.
Stainless steel = Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron =Slow heat conductor however will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
Do not slide cast iron cookware on cooktop; will scratch glass
cooktop.
When using radiant elements or cooking zones:
o Use cookware with flat bottom and straight sides.
Check that pan rests completely on ceramic cooktop and is
level.
Be sure pan is properly balanced and does not tilt from
heavy handle.
-Be sure that the pan size matches the amount of food to
be prepared.
Always use clean cookware. Also use cookware that is
easy to maintain.
-Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat
distribution allowing for more even cooking results.
Do not let pans boi! dry. This may cause permanent
damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that
can affect the ceramic cooktop. This type of damage is
not covered by your warranty.
When using radiant elements:
The pan size used must closelyfit the radiant element
circlepattern graphics on the cooktop and should match
the amount of food being prepared.
The cookware should be made of material that conducts
heat well.
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. Ideal when used with lower
heat levels. Do not slide cookware on cooktop; may scratch
glass cooktop.

When using the induction cooking zones:
Be sure to use cookware made with a magnetic base
material.
Use cookware that meets the minimum and maximum size
requirements (See p. 16).
• Not all stainless steel is readily magnetizeable; being made
of stainless steel does not mean that cookware is "Induction
Ready". Use cookware specifically identified by the
manufacturer for use with induction cooking or marked as
"Induction Ready". If you are not sure, use a magnet to test
whether the pan material type will work.
Do not use aluminum_ copperr glass or non=ferrous
metal cookware on induction cooking zones.

Cookware for induction cooking zones
When purchasing pans, look for
cookware specifically identified
by the manufacturer for use
with induction cooking or
marked as"Induction Ready". If
you are not sure, use a magnet
to test whether the pan material
type will work. If a magnet
sticks to the bottom of the Fig. 1
cookware, the material type is
correct. (See Fig. 1).
Use quality cookware in good condition
It isrecommended to always use heavier high quality
magnetic base cookware on induction zones. This will
greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the
ceramic surface. Even high quality cookware can scratch the
cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the
ceramic cooktop without being lifted up.
Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the surface
will likely alter the overall appearance of the cooktop.
Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the
ceramic surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance
of the cooktop. Besure to follow all the manufacturer's
recommendations when using cookware that was made for
induction cooking.
Pan sensing -induction cooking zones
Both cooking zones may display a
pan sensing message. Ifa
cooking zone was activated and
no pan is detected, the affected
cooking zone display window will
flash with the last power level
setting (See Fig. 2).
The cooking zone sensors located
below the cooktop surface require
that certain cookware conditions are
met before they can operate. Fig. 2
The conditions that might generate an error message are
illustrated in the "incorrect" column in Fig. 3. Be sure to
check that the induction cookware has met all the "correct"
conditions. If the problem(s) are not corrected the cooking
zone will automatically deactivate after 3 minutes.
It is recommended that you lower the requested power
level setting before correcting the pan sensing message.
One or more incorrect cookware conditions may be
detected by sensors located below the 2 induction cooking
zones. If the cookware does not meet the correct
conditions, the cooking zones may not heat. Usethe
checklist below to correct the problem(s) before
attempting to reactivate cooking zones.

Pan sensing=induction cooking zones (cont'd)
Induction zone minimum cookware size
The two induction cooking zones available on the cooktop
require a minimum pan size to be used at each location.
The smaller inner ring on each cooking zone (See Fig. 1) is
your guide to the correct minimum pan size for that zone.
The pan bottom must fully cover the inner ring for proper
cooking to occur.
If a pan made of correct material is centered properly on
any of the active cooking zones but istoo small, the
affected cooking zone display will flash and the pan will not
heat until a larger pan that covers the inner ring is used.

Power sharing =induction cooking zones
Your cooktop has two induction cooking zones that share
the same power inverter. If the user places cookware on
both induction cooking zones and attempts to set hi power
levels for both, one cooking zone position will automatically
lower slightly.
For example, if you are heating items using both cooking
zones at the same time, the last cooking zone power level
set will be maintained, while the first cooking zone set may
experience a slight reduction in the power level setting (See
Fig. 2). This is called power sharing.

only
Fig. 1
Induction zone maximum cookware size
The thicker outer ring at each cooking zone is helpful to
determine the pan maximum size. A_er centering the
cookware on the cooktop induction zone, be sure the
cookware does not extend more than 1/2" (13mm) beyond
the outer circle for the zone (See Fig. 1). The pan must
make full contact on the ceramic surface without the bottom
of the pan touching the metal cooktop edges.
Fig. 2
To avoid a power level change due to power sharing,
always set the power level for the cooking zone you
would prefer to maintain last.

Setting radiant elements and induction zones
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
set to a lower setting to finish cooking. Suggested power
level settings are shown in Fig. 1. The suggested settings
may vary slightly depending on the pan material type and
amount of food being prepared.
For induction cooking be sure to use cookware that is
constructed with magnetic base material and meets the
minimum and maximum pan size requirements.

The power level settings shown in Fig. 1 are based on
cooking with medium sized pans with lids. Settings may
vary when using other types of pans.
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

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.
Unlike radiant surface elements, the induction 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.
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.

Pan preheat recommendations
When preheating a pan on the cooktop always watch very
carefully. Whenever using the cooktop the user should
always pay attention to any pan and items cooking and
remain attentive until the cooking process iscomplete.
Keep in mind that induction cooking may decrease the
amount of time required to preheat a cooking utensil.
• The HE (hot element) message may appear in the
display windows once a heating element or cooking
zone isturned 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.
= Induction cooking zones only =If the cookware is
;moved from the center of any active induction cooking
zone, the pan sensor will detect the situation and the
ii cookware will no longer heat. The affected cooking
ii 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 wil! resume heating. The
cooking zone will remember the power level setting
ii for up to 3 minutes before the cooking zone will
ii automatically shut OFF.

Bridge radiant elements
The 3 left radiant cooking elements may also be used
together as a single cooking area when setting for the
Bridge feature. The SpaceWise'" bridge radiant elements
are marked on your cooktop. This feature also provides the
flexibility to cook with larger oblong cookware.
Indicator lights located on the backguard for the bridge
show which portions of the bridge element are set to heat.
The O symbol indicates only the left front element will
heat (Fig. 1). The _ symbol indicates both the left front
and left middle elements will heat together (Fig. 2).
The _ indicates that all 3 elements (left front, middle and
rear) will heat together (Fig. 3).

damage the ceramic cooktop.
See the Suggested power level settings table
(provided in the instructions for the single radiant
elements). 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.
If all 3 bridge zones are in use with the bridge feature
and you need the left rear as a single element for a
different reason, change the bridge size to O or
and then set the left rear position independently.

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 Recommendations section).
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canningusing a ceramic cooktop.
Hake 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 coiland ceramic glass
cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Usethe 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.
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.
