OPERATION COOKTOP BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP Read all instructions before using. WARNING • Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is broken, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. • Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. • Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
CAUTION • Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware. • Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board. • Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface. Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. • Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop. • Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings or any other material on the range when it is in use.
COOKING AREAS The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface. When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. Pans should not extend more than 1/2" to 1" (1.3 cm to 2.5 cm) beyond the cooking area.
HOT SURFACE INDICATOR The hot surface indicator light glows and indicates that one or more cooktop elements are still hot. When the hot surface indicator turns off, the glass surface may still feel slightly hot to touch. NOTE: • The hot surface indicator light glows 30 seconds after an element is turned on or when the surface temperature reaches 150°F (65°C). • The hot surface indicator light remains on after the element is turned off and until the surface has cooled to approximately 150°F (65°C).
Turning on a Dual Element HI OFF H I OFF position FF HI O Single element HI position HI O FF Dual element HI position 1. Select a dual element, and find its control knob. 2. Push the control knob in and turn it in either direction to use it as a single element or a dual element. • Single: Turn the knob counterclockwise. • Dual: Turn the knob clockwise. 3. To turn off an element, turn the control knob to the OFF position.
USING THE PROPER COOKWARE The size and type of cookware will influence the settings needed for the best cooking results. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking times.
Choosing Cookware The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. Recommended • Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.
OVEN BEFORE USING THE OVEN Read the instructions for each feature and cooking mode in this manual carefully before using the oven. CAUTION • Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty. • Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food.
WARNING FOOD POISONING HAZARD • Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. • Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.
OVEN DOOR Oven heating elements and, if in operation, convection fan will temporarily shut off any time door is opened, and will resume when door is closed within 3 minutes. NOTE: • Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary. If the door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the cooking mode will be automatically cancelled.
Removing Racks 1. Pull the rack straight out until it stops. 2. Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out. Replacing Racks 1. Place the end of the rack on the support. 2. Tilt the front end up and push the rack in. Rack Positions For best cooking results, adjust rack so food is placed at the center of the oven. For most foods this will be rack position #3 or #4. For larger foods like roasts and turkey, move the rack position down to #2 or #1 to keep the food centered in the oven.
PREHEATING Preheating is generally desirable, although not absolutely necessary in all circumstances. • For oven modes that utilizes preheat, the control will automatically enter preheat mode and show "100°F" after START/OK is pressed to turn on the oven. - When the oven temperature reaches 100°F, the display will show the current oven temperature, and will continue to show the oven temperature increasing until the set temperature is reached.
COOKING MODES The various baking modes (Bake, Conv Bake, Conv Roast, and Pizza) have a 10-hour time limit, after which the control will automatically end the baking mode. Broil and Warm modes have a 3-hour time limit. If desired, these modes can be restarted after the time limit expires.

RANGE CARE AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted. Do not use abrasive cleaning products. NOTE: • Do not clean the oven door gasket. The material of the gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Cleaning Method: • Use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective or may scratch, damage or stain the cooktop surface. • Use a paper towel or non-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. • Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. NOTE: • Any damage or failure of the product resulting from the items below may not be covered under the Limited Warranty.
HEAVY BURNED-ON RESIDUE • Allow the cooktop to cool. • For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel. Cleaning Methods: • While the cooktop is still warm, use a single-edge razor blade scraper at approximately a 30° to 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the soil. It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor scraper in order to remove the residue.
Cleaning Methods: • Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks are removable using the ceramic cooktop cleaner with a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops. • If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.
COOKTOP CONTROL KNOBS • Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove. • When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the OFF position. Cleaning Method: • Wash with soap and water. NOTE: • Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner. Do not soak knobs. CONTROL PANEL • It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. • Disconnect power to the unit before cleaning if needed.
OVEN CAVITY • Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain, so staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. Cleaning Method: • Mild detergent and warm water. NOTE: • Do not use oven cleaners. • To better reach and clean the oven cavity, detach the oven door from the range. See "Removing/Assembling Oven Door" section in the Installation Instructions manual. OVEN RACKS • All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.
