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.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
■Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified installer in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
■ Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■ Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
■ Do not leave children alone- children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the door, storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.

■ Do not store flammable materials in an
oven or near the cooktop.
■
CAUTION:
Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the back 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
burns 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 off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
■ Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Use proper pan size - select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency
■Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers 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 because of the sudden change in
temperature.
■To minimize the possibility of burns,
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.
■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 little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
■If a combination of oils 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.
■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 spills are the exception to
this. Please see the
Cleaning the glass
cooktop
section.
■When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
■To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
■After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.
■Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

About the radiant surface unitsÉ
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On some models with a light colored
cooktop, it is normal for the cooking zones
to change color when hot or cooling down.
This is normal and will disappear as the glass
cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat
to continue cooking. To avoid over-
cooking, remove pans from the surface
units when the food is cooked. Avoid
placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.
■
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar
■
Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
■
Don't store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
■
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
SURFACE
COOKING
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.

Selecting types of cookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
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.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
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 permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
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
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball¨ and
Kerr¨ and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use
caution when canning.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use round-bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.

Pots that extend beyond 1 inch
of the surface unitÕs circle are not
recommended for most surface
cooking. However, when canning
with water-bath or pressure canner,
larger-diameter pots may be used. This
is because boiling water temperatures
(even under pressure) are not harmful
to the cooktop surfaces surrounding
the surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE
DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER
LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or
sauce mixturesÑand all types of fryingÑ
cook at temperatures much higher than
boiling water. Such temperatures could
eventually harm the glass cooktop
surfaces.
Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit. If your
cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered
on the surface unit, use smaller
diameter pots for good canning
results.
Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because
they donÕt make enough contact
with the surface units and take a
long time to boil water.
When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball and Kerr
brand; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be careful
when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefully followed. The process time will
be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water
CAUTION:
■
Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
the jars are sealed completely. When
canning foods in a water-bath canner
a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
■
After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
■
Since you must make sure to process
the canning jars for the prescribed time,
with no interruption in processing time,
do not can on any cooktop surface unit
if your canner is not flat.

Operating Instructions

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.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf 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
shelf several inches below the food.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Using the convection oven.
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.
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.
■
For more information on adapting recipes, see
the Convection Cookbook.
■
Use pan size recommended.
■
Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been
developed using commercial convection ovens.
For best results in this oven, preheat the oven
and use the temperature on the package.
To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
■
Ideal for evenly baked foods cooked on
multiple shelves.
■
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
■
Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food
cake and bread.
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 Roast
■
Good for large tender cuts of meat, 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 rack
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.
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on the lowest
shelf position (A) .
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.
■
Place the shelf in the lowest shelf position (A).
■
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.
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 cavity. As a
result, foods are often cooked in
less time than with regular heat.

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 plastic
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.
■
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
■
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a flat 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.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated
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 2nd (B) position, one in the
4th (D) position and one in the 6th (F)
position.
