iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
* Know which knob controls each surface
heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit
before turning it on, and then turn the unit off
before removing the pan.
*Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select utensils having fiat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the surface
heating unit to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
* Utensil handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface units. To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil.
Never leave surface units unattended m
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
accumulations that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
Glazed cooking utensilsmOnly certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
*Use Care When Opening an Oven Door_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. The upper
oven is vented at the back of the cooktop and
the lower oven at the center trim. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating
may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items near the oven vent.
These items could melt or ignite.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire
rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause
carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
* Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool.
Remove all utensils from the rack before removing
rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use
extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp the
rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot
holders contact the hot oven element or interior of
the oven.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler.
Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with
aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could
ignite.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
•Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to
the appliance before removing and replacing the
bulb.
* 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.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN MODELS
* Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts
of the appliance listed in this Use & Care
Guide. Before using the self-cleaning cycle of
the appliance, remove the broiler pan and any
utensils stored in the appliance.
* Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
* 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
appliance
The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the self-clean cycle of any oven. Move birds to
another well ventilated room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR OVEN
* Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be
kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.
Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning.
* Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood
or filter. Follow manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning.
FOR CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOPS
* Do not clean or operate abroken cooktop--lf
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
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.

Before Setting Surface Controls
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The design of the
ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element
underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figure
1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop
to the cookware. Only fiat-bottom cookware should be
used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will
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.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises 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. For
efflclent cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This wiii allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and
Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker
and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage
increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as
follows:
- two 6 Inch radiant elements located at the right and left
rear positions;
- a 6 / 9/|2 inch triple element located at the right front
position;
- a 9inch turbo boil radiant element located at the left
front position.
- a Warm & Ready Zone located at the center rear
position;
Note: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity
of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface
will turn green when the element is first turned off. This
phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its
original white color after it has completely cooled down.
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 sufflciently.
Do not place plastic items such as 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.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Note: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the General Care &Cleaning section
and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care
Guide.
Note: Radiant elements have a iimiter that allows the
element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This
helps to prevent damage to the ceramic glass cooktop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can also occur if
the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not fiat.

Setting Surface Controls
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) feature provides a digital display of
the radiant surface elements on the cooktop. The ESEC display in combination with
the touch pads is designed to replace conventional control knobs.
The available ESEC Window Display Settings
The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure 6)
and OFF (Figure 7). The settings between 9.0 (Figure 2) and 3.0 (Figure 3) decrease
or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between 3.0 (Figures 3 & 4) and 1.2
(Figure 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to
Lo (Figure 6; lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use
the Recommended Surface Setting Chart to determine the correct setting for the kind
of food you are preparing.

Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone
The Worm &Ready TM zone radiant element is located at the center rear position (Figure 1).
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use
the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups,
stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is not
recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.
All food placed on the warmer 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 or olumlnum fall to cover food. Plastic or
olumlnum may melt onto the surface.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough
to cause burns. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer
zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

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 types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass 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 (see Aluminum above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics wiii 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.

1Oven Rack
Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack° place in center of oven. If using multiple racks° stagger cookware
as shown.
For best air circulation and 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 bad{ of the oven cavity. The hot air
must circulate around the pans and cool<ware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.

Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
See illustration on left side for venting location. 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.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove an oven rack from the lower oven, pull the
rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out.
To replace an oven rack in the
lower oven, fit the rack onto the
guides on the oven walls. Tilt the
front of the rack upward and slide
the rack back into place.
The Offset Oven Rack is used to
maximize cooking space. The offset
rack can be used in the lowest rack
position to roast large cuts of meat
and poultry or for specific type of
cooking as per the table below.
