features of your new range Enhanced convenience. Better cooking. Easy maintenance. Your new electric range has been designed to bring you these benefits and more. • The latest in heat-distribution technology Other ranges with just one fan tend to make a swirl of heat that fails to cover the whole inside of the oven. This means uneven heat distribution and uneven cooking.
important safety instructions Read and follow all instructions before using your oven to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or damage when using the range. This guide does not cover all possible conditions that may occur. Always contact your service agent or manufacturer about problems that you do not understand. SAFETY SYMBOLS WARNING: This symbol alerts you to hazards or unsafe practices that could cause serious bodily harm or death.
FOR YOUR SAFETY 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. Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range. Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware. If the cooktop operates without a cookware, the control knob will become hot. Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board. Use care when touching the cooktop.
OVEN DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes released during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to a well-ventilated room. Clean in the self-clean cycle only parts listed in this manual. Before self-clean the oven, remove the broil pan , rack, utensils, and food.

surface cooking About surface cooking BEFORE COOKING CAUTION • Do not 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. • Turn the surface units on only after placing the cookware. • Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and damage it.
Location of the radiant surface elements and controls The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface elements on the cooktop as shown below. 5 2 1. Single element: Left rear 2. Single element: Right rear 4 3 02 SURFACE COOKING 1 . Dual element: Left front . Dual element: Right front . Warming center: Center rear 6 . Hot surface indicator Hot surface indicator • Comes on when the unit is turned on or hot to the touch. • Stays on even after the unit is turned off.
How to set the appliance for surface cooking • The surface elements may be hot and burns may occur. Do not touch surface elements until they have cooled down sufficiently. CAUTION • At high or medium-high settings, never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may catch on fire. • Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking. • The area between the high and off settings, are not appropriate for cooking.
Using the warming center The warming center, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. • Do not warm food on the warming center for more than two hours. • Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use. CAUTION • Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming center as cookware and plates will be hot. • When warming pastries and breads the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
USING THE PROPER COOKWARE Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly. CORRECT Flat bottom and straight sides. • Tight fitting lids. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. INCORRECT Curved and warped pan bottoms. • Weight of handle does not tilt pan. • Pan is well balanced.
Protecting the smoothtop surface Cleaning • Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time. • Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage. • If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe the spill with a clean dry towel. • Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.
using the warming drawer About the warming drawer The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods warm. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal. Allow approximately 25 minutes for the warming drawer to preheat. • Do not line the warming drawer or pan with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and could damage the interior finish.
TURNING THE WARMING DRAWER ON OR OFF 1. Set the warming drawer to the heat level you want. Press the WARMING DRAWER pad once for low, twice for medium, or 3 times for high.

Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection baking.
Recommended convection baking guide Rack Position Temp.
CONVECTION ROASTING Convection roasting is good for cooking 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. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior. How to set the oven for convection roasting 1.
