Cleaning Creme®. This will leave a
protective coating.
The cooking zones are shown by the
outline on the glass. The sign below
,each control knob shows you which
radiant zone is turned on by that
knob O@
Cooking Zones 0
Use pans and woks that are flat on
the bottom. The size of the pan
should be the same size as the zone
used when cooking.
If you don't ' '
know if your _ _,cookware is
flat on the
bottom, try this test.Turn your pan
upside down on the countertop and
place the edge of a ruler flat against
the surface of the pan. Rotate the
ruler a full circle, checking as you turn
for any space between the two
surfaces. The bottom of the pan and
the edge of the ruler should fit flush
against each other all the way across.
Stainless SteeU: Highly recom-
mended for use with your new
cooktop. Especially good with a
sandwich clad bottom.
AOuminum: Heavyweight aluminum
cookware recommended.
Cas_ [iron: Cast iron cookware that
is completely covered with porcelain
enamel is recommended. Cast iron
that is not covered with porcelain
enamel may scratch the glass

OPERATION
RadiantCoo ep Cooking
When the knobs are turned on, coils
beneath the glass radiate heat
through the glass to the cooking
!utensil. It will take a few minutes for
the coils to heat; as they do, a red
glow can be seen on the surface of
the cooktop.
_e
R
Push down to turn
the knob.
Set on or between
numbers for _ _
desired heat. " _,
/y,'
The surface unit indicator light will
glow when any cooking zone is
activated.
It is normal to see the elements glow
red and then dark while cooking at
settings below high. This cycling on
and off is used to maintain your
selected control setting. Cycling when
the selector is set on Hi is due to poor
transfer of heat to cookware that is not
flat. The temperature timiters of the
cooking zones may turn the radiant
coils on and off while cooking or
canning to provide protection against
the overheating of the glass ceramic.
This procedure helps maintain an
even cocking temperature without
allowing the cooking zones to
overheat.
Water-bath or pressure'canners and
large diameter pots extending more
than !" beyond the edge of the
cooktop element may be used for
canning. How®vet, do not use large
diameter canners, pots or pans for
anything other than boiling water.
Most syrup or sauce mixtures, and all
types of frying, cook at temperatures
much higher than boiling water. Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the cooktop surfaces surrounding the
surface units.

Used for quick starts, such as
bringing water to a boil.
Used for slow boil and
sauteing,
Used for steaming foods or
keeping cooked foods at
serving temperature.
t, Be sure the canner is centered
over the element.
2, Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
3, Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are

tt is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time. To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate
the room by open_ng aw_ndew
or using a vent hood.
I_MPORTAHlr: Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack with aluminum
foil. Improper use can cause poor
heat flow, poor baking results, and
may damage the oven finish.
In the back of the oven you wilt notice
a small tube. This is a heat sensor
that maintains the temperature of the
oven. Never move or bend this tube.
Temperature Sens
Opening the door often to check
foods wilt cause heat loss and poor
baking results.
The low temperature zone of your
oven (between 170° and 200 ° F)is
available to keep hot cooked foods
warm. However, foods kept at these
temperatures longer than 2 hours
may spoil.
The oven vent is located under the
right rear element. This area could
become very hot during oven use.
Never block this vent,
Preheating is bringing the oven
temperature up to the temperature
you will be using during baking. Let
the oven preheat thoroughly when
recipes call for preheating. 13

Broiling is cooking by direct heat
from the upper element. The oven
door should remain open to the broil
stop position during broiling,
t
It is not necessary to preheat the
oven when broiling. Use the broiler
pan and grid that came with your
range, Both are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids.
gf foil is used it must
be monded tJghtgy to
the gr_d and slits cut
_nto the foil to match
those of the grid, This
allows fats and Jiquids to
drain 8nto the bro_Jer pan,
preventing fire and
excessive smoke,
AQways remove the pan and
grid from the oven, F,
Storing or forgetting _'J__)
a so_aed broiler pan
in the oven is a potentiaU
smoke or fire hazard.
The U,S. Department of Agriculture
notes that meat cooked rare is
popular, but meat cooked to only
140°F (rare) means that some food
poisoning organisms may survive.
The closer you place foods to the
broil element, the faster foods brown
on the outside yet remain red to pink
in the center,
Moving meats away from the element
will allow the meat to cook to the
center while browning on the outside.
Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer
than side 2. if your oven is connected
to 208 volts, you may want to use a
higher rack position and/or broil
foods longer.
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of
the doneness of the meat will affect
broiling. This chart is based on meats
