Oven vent location
The o en ent is located under the le t side o the
control panel (See Fig. 1). When the o en is on, warm
air passes through this ent. This enting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the o en and good baking results.
Do not block o en ent.
Air circulation in the oven
For best 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 o en door, sides or
back of the o en ca ity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the cookware in the o en for e en heat to reach
around the food (See Fig. 3 ).

7
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how e enly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials a ailable 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 cooktop, they may lea e metal marks which
will resemble scratches. Remo e these marks
immediately.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
May lea e metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with une en cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor howe er will retain heat
ery well. Cooks e enly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
ary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to a oid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the
glass.
Important note:
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! Be sure to follow all the cookware
manufacturers suggestions when using any type of
cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

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. Be sure to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
flat-bottomed 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 e enly. 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
pro ide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element se eral
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Radiant surface elements may appear to
ha e cooled after they ha e been turned off. The glass
sur ace may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top o 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.
Do not allow aluminum oil, empty
glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If
these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the
ceramic cooktop.
Cooktop On and Hot Surface
indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of
surface control indicator lights that will glow on the control
panel  the Cooktop On indicator light and the Hot
Sur ace indicator lights (See Fig. 1).
The Cooktop On indicator light is marked on the control
panel and will glow when a surface element is turned ON.
A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an
easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned
OFF.
The Hot Sur ace indicator light is also located on the
control panel and will glow when any surface cooking area
heats up and will remain on until the cooktop has cooled to
a MODERATE le el.
Important notes:
 Radiant elements ha e a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle ON and OFF, e en at the HI
setting. This helps to pre ent damage to the ceramic
smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
 Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care &
Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this
Use & Care Guide.

Before Setting Surface Controls
Types of cooktop surface elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the
ceramic glass outline the size and type of element a ailable.
The single radiant element or elements will ha e one
round outline pattern shown on the cooktop. The Warm
Zone feature located on the center rear area of the
cooktop uses one round outline and is designed to keep
food warm only.
The dual radiant element (some models) allows the user to
set the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner
and outer portions may be set to heat together (See Fig. 1).

Home Canning
Be sure to read and obser e all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they ha e a ailable as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straightedge to check canner bottom.
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a ceramic cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on
electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achie ed, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil o er 2
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
will cause une en heating results and may cause the
ceramic cooktop to fracture.

10
Radiant surface elements may appear to
ha e cooled after they ha e been turned off. The glass
sur ace may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top o 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.
Do not allow aluminum oil, empty
glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If
these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the
ceramic cooktop.
Dual radiant surface element
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant
surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to
begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the
element (marked dual - See Fig. 3). If only the inner
heating portion is needed (marked single - See Fig. 2)
for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob
counterclockwise to start.
Please note that you may switch from the single or dual
settings at any time during cooking.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before remo ing the cookware.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before remo ing the cookware.
Important notes:
 For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element se eral
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
 The surface control knobs do not ha e to be set exactly
on a particular spot. Use the graphics pro ided as a
guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each
surface element pro ides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. Refer to the Suggested radiant surface
element settings table for suggested power le el
settings.
 Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
 Radiant elements ha e a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle ON and OFF, e en at the HI
setting. This helps pre ent damage to the ceramic
smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
 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.

 Multiple rack baking.
 No special pans or bakeware needed.
Con ection functions use a fan to circulate the o en's heat
uniformly and continuously around the o en (See Fig. 1).
This impro ed heat distribution allows for fast, e en
cooking and browning results. It also gi es better baking
results when using two o en racks at the same time.
Suggestions or convection eatures:
 For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the o en when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
 Reduce o en temperature 25°F from recipes
recommended o en temperature. Follow the remainder
of the recipes instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.
 When using 2 o en racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 and 4 for best results (See Fig. 1).
Convect Bake
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in
juices and fla ors. Breads and pastry brown more e enly.
Most foods baked in a standard will cook faster and more
e enly with the con ection feature.
Con ect Bake may be set for any o en temperature
between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Example  To set Convect Bake with a de ault

Con ect Roast may be set for any o en temperature
between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions or Convect Roast:
 Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Con ect Roast.
 Since Con ect Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook
time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your
recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary,
increase cook time until the desired doneness is
obtained.
 Do not co er foods when dry roasting - this will pre ent
the meat from browning properly.
Example  To set Convect Roast with a de ault
oven set temperature o 350°F:
