heating element The usa of undersized cookware willexpose apardon of the surface unit to direct
contact and may resultin ignitionof clothing.Proper relationshipof oookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.
II Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy sp'dlovers that may catch on fire.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
became of the sudden change in temperature.
• To minimize the posfib'_ of burns, ignidon
of flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be mined toward the
center of the range without extending over
nearby surface units.
• Always turn the surface units offbefore
removing cookware.
• When preparing flaming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
[] Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
• 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.
[] Use tittle fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
•Ira combination of o'ds or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or
as fats melt slowly.
[] Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
[] 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.
•Iarge scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
• 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.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
•Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
•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.
•Clean 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 burns.
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
sp'dls axe the e-xc_pdun to this. Please see the
Cleaning the glass ceoktop section.
• When the cooktop is cool, use only the
CERAMA BRYI'E®Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner

The following informationwillhelp youchoose cookware which will givegood performance on glass cooktops.
Checkpans for flat bottomsbyusing
a straightedge.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavyweightrecommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, as it may
scmtch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable,butnotrecommended
CopperBottom:
recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanendy stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Stoneware:
usable,butnotrecommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Panswith rounded, curved,ridged
or warped bottomsare not
recommended.
Use onlyflat-bottomed woks.
Home Canningtips
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
To prevent bums from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball* and
Kerr* and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
Use of water bath canners with rippled
bottoms may extend the time required to
bring the water to a boil.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for iL
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
Topreheatsettheovenatthecorrect
temperature.Thecontrolwillbeepwhen
theovenispreheatedandthedisplaywill
showyoursettemperature.Thiswill take
approximately15-20minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1" to 1_" of air space around it.

ff baking four cake layers at the same time,
place two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is
not clirecilyabove the other.
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 jnices 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 a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.

Introduction
The convection oven comes with two
convection baking modes started by
touching the CONVECTION BAKEMULTI/
I RACKpad once or twice, depending
on your cooking need:
MULTI--for convection cooking on more
than one rock. Touch the CONVECTION
BAKEMULTUIRACKpad once.See the
Mural-RackConvectionBakingsection below.
IRACK---for convection cooking on one
rack only. Touch the CONVECTIONBAKE
MULTU1RACgpad twice. See the l-Rack
ConvectionBakingsection below.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple races.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook
times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies,
muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads
give very good results with multi-rack
baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONVECTIONBAKE
MULTI.
When baking on Braces, place one offset
rack in the third (C) position, the straight
rack in the fourth (D) position and one
offset rack in the sixth (F) position.
For two-rack baking, place one offset rack
in the second (B) rack position. Place
the straight rack in the fourth (D) rack
position.
