IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware with
food on the cooking area before turning it
on. Turn the cooking area off before remov-
ing the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface ele-
ments — To reduce the risk of burns, igni-
tion of ammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the uten-
sil, the handle of the cookware should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over other cooking areas.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Select cookware with at
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve efciency.
Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recom¬mendations for cooktop use.
Improper cookware may break due to sud-
den changes in temperature. Check the
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations
for cooktop use.
Never leave surface elements unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled
dry could be damaged and may damage
the cooktop.
Do not use a searing grill meant for use
with a broiler pan on the cooktop. The
searing grill is not designed for use on the
cooktop. Doing so may result in a re.
When you are aming foods under a venti-
lating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GLASS AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop.
If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualied technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with
sharp objects.

EN
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum
foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other
materials or devices to line oven bottom,
oven racks, or any other part of the appli-
ance. Only use aluminum as recommended
for baking, such as lining cookware or as a
cover placed on food. Any other use of pro-
tective liners or aluminum foil may result
in a risk of electric shock or re or a short
circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod-
els). Stand to the side of the appliance
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. Touch-
ing surfaces in this area when the oven is
on may cause severe burns. Do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near
the oven vent. These items can melt or ig-
nite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven
is hot, do not let potholder contact hot
burner or element in oven. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to re-
position. Remove all cookware and utensils
before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could
ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Al-
ways cook in proper cookware and always
use the oven racks.

EN COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Bakeware
The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food.
Material Attributes Recommendation
Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-
coated bakeware is the best for
even heating. It is suitable for all
baked goods.
Recommended cooking temperatures and
times are based on shiny metal bakeware.
Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter
than shiny bakeware. Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F
(13-14° C) when using dark bakeware.
Glass bakeware Glass bakeware cooks hotter
than shiny bakeware.
Glass is convenient, as the same
piece of bakeware can be used
for cooking, serving, and storing
food.
Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F
(13-14° C) when using glass bakeware.
Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler
than shiny bakeware.
Insulated bakeware is designed
for baking in gas ovens.
Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F
(13-14° C) using insulated bakeware.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Cooking Conditions
Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.
Material Attributes Recommendation
Aging cookware As pans age and become
discolored, cooking times may
need to be reduced slightly.
If food is too dark or overcooked, use the
minimum cook time in the recipe or packag-
ing.
If food is too light or undercooked, use the
middle to maximum cook time in the recipe
or packaging.
High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is
lower.
Water boils at a lower tem-
perature, and liquids evapo-
rate faster.
Foods may take longer to
bake.
Doughs may rise faster.
Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or
recipes as needed.
Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.
Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes
to reduce evaporation.
Increase bake time or oven temperature.
Reduce amount of baking soda or baking
powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch
down dough and allow it to rise twice.
Cooking Results
Small adjustments may x a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.
Conditions Recommendation
Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.
Oven Use Recommendation
Baking
Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Oven Controls” on page 21
When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the
oven.
Preheat Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and
breads. Insert food immediately after the beep.
Checking food Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may
reduce baking performance.
Bake or Convection Bake Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For
best performance, see “Convection Bake” on page 26.
Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air cir-
culation.

11
EN COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Cooking Recommendation
Broiling / Roasting
Broiling pan For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed
to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The
broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splat-
ters.
Convection Cooking
Convection attributes Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food.
It browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven.
Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food
items at once.
Convection bake Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the
recipe is written for convection baking.
Preheat the oven for best results.
Convection roast Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most
meats and poultry.
Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended.
Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations, ad-
justing the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting
time.
Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to
40% depending on food type. You can reduce cook times by 25% from the
recommended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If needed,
continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained.
Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also avail-
able from most grocery and home goods stores.
Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack
of the oven.
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from
browning properly.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The size and type of cookware used will inuence
the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be
sure to follow the recommendations for using proper
cookware as illustrated in Figure 1 and 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
typ s of food will cause it to darken (Anodized
aluminum cookware resists staining and pit-
ting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic
cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will
resemble scratches. Remove these marks imme-
diately.
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors
easily (see Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and
resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that will
retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking
temperature is reached. If cast iron pans slide
across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave
metal marks which will resemble scratches. Re-
move these marks immediately.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating charac-
teristics 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.
Check for atness by ro-
tating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(see Figure 1). Cook-
ware should have at
bottoms that make good
contact with the entire
surface heating element
(see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Proper cookware
IMPORTANT
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-
enamel coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
The melting point of cookware made with these
materials may be reached quickly, especially if
left empty, and they may bond to the ceramic
cooktop. If the cookware melts it will damage the
cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for use and care of cookware.

EN BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements
below a smooth glass surface. The designs on the
ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the surface el-
ements underneath. Always match the pan size with
the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop.
Only at-bottomed cookware should be used.
Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most
hardware, grocery and department stores) to the
ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper
towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled
from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a pro-
tective nish on the glass to help prevent scratches
and abrasions.
The type and size of cookware, the number of sur-
face elements in use, and their settings will all 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.
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the
element to cycle on and off, even at the HI set-
ting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic
smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and
can occur if the cookware is too small for the radi-
ant element or if the cookware bottom is not at.
Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning”
section and “Before You Call” checklist section.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and even-
ly. 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.
For efcient cooking, turn the element off several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
IMPORTANT
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board
or work surface.
Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop
may crack it.
Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface
(without a cooking utensil) is not recommended,
as difcult cleaning will result, and foods may
smoke and cause potential re hazard.
Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic
glass cooktop. Any cookware that has a rough
or dirty bottom can scratch the ceramic cooktop.
Always start with clean cookware.
CAUTION
Surface elements may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. The element surface
may still be hot, and burns may occur if the ele-
ment or surrounding area is touched before it has
cooled to a safe temperature.
Do not place ammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic
wrapping on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, tow-
els, or wooden spoons could catch re if placed
too close to the surface elements.
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
will damage the ceramic cooktop.

Types of ceramic cooktop elements
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the
size and type of element underneath. The elements
on your cooktop depend on the model.
• A single radiant element has one circle.
• A dual radiant element has two circles. The
dual radiant element may be set using only the
smaller inner element or both inner and outer
elements may be set to heat together for a
larger surface.
• A triple radiant element has three circles.
The element may be set using only the inner
element, the inner and middle elements, or all
three elements together.
• A warm zone element has one small circle. It is
used to keep food warm after cooking. The keep
warm element is not designed to cook food.

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clock-
wise to begin heating both the inner and outer
elements. If only the inner element is needed
for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob
counter-clockwise (see Figure 7).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF
before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting
and then turn to a lower setting to nish 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.
CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The ele-
ment may still be hot and burns may occur if the
element is touched before it has cooled sufcient-
ly.
Do not place ammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plas-
tic wrappings on top of the range when it is in
use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels, or wooden spoons could catch re if placed
too close to the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls
or reector pans. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock or re.
NOTE
The size and type of utensil used and the amount
and type of food being cooked will inuence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one
or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at
these indicator lights when nished cooking is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned
OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain
on AFTER the control knob is turned to the “OFF”
position and will stay on until the heating surface
area has cooled sufciently
IMPORTANT
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
will damage the ceramic cooktop.

Warm Zone
Use the warm zone feature to keep cooked foods
hot.
Always start with hot food. It is not
recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.
All food placed on the warm 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
difcult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils, and
cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use
on the warm zone.
Setting the warm zone control:
1. Push in the knob and turn in either direction.
The temperatures are designated by Hi and Lo.
However, the control can be set at any position
between Hi and Lo for different levels of warm-
ing.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF.
The hot surface indicator light will remain on
until the warm zone cools.
Temperature selection -
Refer to the recommended warm zone settings table
(see Table 2). If a particular food is not listed, start
with the medium level and adjust as needed. Most
foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using
the medium level.
Food Item Heating Level
Breads/Pastries LO (Low)
Casseroles LO (Low)
Dinner Plates with Food LO (Low)

Table 2: Recommended warm zone settings
CAUTION
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will
not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always
use potholders or oven mitts when removing food
from the cooktop, including the warm zone, as
cookware and plates will be hot.
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 is touched before it has cooled
sufciently.
Do not place ammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic
wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or
wooden spoons could catch re if placed too close
to the surface elements. CAUTION
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
will damage the ceramic cooktop.

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)
Web site and be sure to read all the information they
have available as well as follow their recommenda-
tions for home canning procedures.
• Use only a completely at bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when
home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when
the bottom surface is at. Use a straight-edge to
check canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element mark-
ings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter can-
ners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops
and to center canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil
more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when rst bringing
the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, re-
duce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain
that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions careful-
ly. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural
Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars
for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on
high heat for an extended amount of time.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven
is on, warm air is released through the vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the
oven and good baking results. Do not block oven
vent. Never close off the openings with aluminium
foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may
appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Figure 10: Oven Vent
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven
exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very
hot which can cause burns.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean
cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during
a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks
may be damaged and all of the oven racks will
lose their shiny nish.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not
attempt to close the oven door until all the oven
racks are fully positioned back inside the oven
cavity.
WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or
any other material or liners to line the oven bot-
tom, walls, racks or any other part of the range.
Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce
poor baking results, and possibly cause perma-
nent damage to the oven interior. Improper instal-
lation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or re. During self clean, temperatures in
the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Types of Oven Rack
Figure 11: Oven racks and their use
• Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking
needs and may be placed in most oven rack posi-
tions.
• The offset oven rack provides additional step
down positions from the standard at rack de-
sign. The offset design positions the base of the
rack about ½ of a rack position lower than the
at rack and may be used in most oven rack
positions. To maximize oven cooking space, place
the bottom oven rack in the lowest rack position
for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging
Flat
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward
until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of
oven rack slightly and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides
on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven
rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back
into place. Be sure oven racks are level before
using.
