Do not store flammable materials in an
oven or near the cooktop.
mCAUTION:Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a
range or on the backsplash of a range-
children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
[] Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored over
the range. Flammable material could be
ignited if brought in contact with hot
surface units or heating elements and may
cause severe burns.
[] Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
bums from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units or heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of pot holders.
[] Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit by covering the pan completely with a
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven offor by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

heating element Theuse of undersizedcookware willexposea potion of thesurface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Properrelationshipof cookware tosurface unit will
alsoimprove efficienc_
INever leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
t Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
m To ntinirnize the possibility of bums,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container should
be turned toward the center of the range
without extending over nearby surface units.
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
E When preparing faming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
H Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.
MKeep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
M Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
iUse little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
J If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
m Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
U Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
_ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments; rings or other
jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
g Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass cooktop become broken.
mNever use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
m Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when
it is not being used.
E Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
MClean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam
bums. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE:We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to
this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
BWhen the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
!1To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
m After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all deaning cream residue.
m Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

four cake layers at the same time, place
two layers on rack B and two layers on

not directly above the other.
Cut slits in the feiljust like the grid.

Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
frying, not broiling.
Donotusealuminumfoilonthebottomof
theoven.
Never entirely cover ashelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Asmaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.

Leave the door open to the broil
stop position. The door stays open
by itseff, yet the proper temperature
is maintained in the oven,

Usingtheconvectionoven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of
time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element
To help you understand the difference
between convection hake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
!Idealfor evenlybrownedbakedfoodscooked
on multipleshelves.
iGoodfor largequantitiesofbakedfoods.
DGoodresultswith cookies,biscuits,brownies,
cupcakes,creampuffs,sweetrolls,angelfood
cakeandbread.
In a convection oven, a fan
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food, This circulating
hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavit_ As a
result foods are eveniy cooked and
browned---often in less time than
with regular heal Heat comes from the heating element in
the rear of the oven. The convection fan
circulates the heated air evenly over and
around the food. Preheating is not
necessary with foods having a bake time
of over 15 minutes.
Convection Roam
FItGoodforlargetendercutsofmeat,uncovered
Heat comes from the top heating
element. The convection fan circulates
the heated air evenly over and around the
food. Meat and poultry are browned on
all sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rock
provided, heated air will be circulated
over, under and around the food being
roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
Roastsorpoultryshouldbecookedonthelowest
shelfposition(A)ona shel£
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack for
best convection roasting results. The pan
is used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters. Place
the meat on the special roasting rack. The
rack holds the meat. The rack allows the
heated air to circulate under the meat
and increase browning on the underside
of the meat or poultry.
lUPlace the shelf in the lowest shelf
position (A).
m Place the grid on the broiler pan and
put the roasting rack over them making
sure the posts on the roasting rack fit
into the holes in the broiler pan.
Adapting Recipes...
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When baking, reduce baking
temperature by 25°F.
No need to preheat when cooking
longer than 15 minutes.

Usingthe convectionoven.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and pl_tic
containers that are recommended
for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F. can also be used, when oven is
below 400 °F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
!Darkenedor matte-finishedpanswill bake
fasterthanshinypans.
MGlassorceramicpanscookmoreslowly
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results ifyou use a fiat cookie sheet
instead of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

MuM-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple shelves.
Multi-shelf baking may increase cook
times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies,
muffins, biscuits, and other quick
breads give very good results with
multi-shelf baking.
When baking on 3 shelves, place one
shelf in the bottom (A) position, one on
the 4th (D) position and the offset shelf
in the 6th (F) position.
