24 OPERATION Using the Cooktop Using the Cooktop Elements CAUTION Cooking Areas The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. WARM SINGLE SINGLE ZONE SINGLE Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area. TRIPLE DUAL DUAL When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooktop surface.
OPERATION 25 Turning on the Warming Zone Adjust the dual element according to the pot/pan size being used. Use the Warming Zone to keep food warm after it has already been cooked. The warming zone is not meant for cooking food. Attempting to cook uncooked or cold food on the warming zone could result in a foodborne illness. Inner element A Outer element B 1 Press the ON/OFF button that controls the desired surface element.
26 OPERATION Using the Proper Cookware Choosing Cookware The size and type of cookware will influence the settings needed for the best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware. 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: Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element.
OPERATION 27 Replacing Racks Before Using the Oven NOTE •• Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not show the same temperature that is set on the oven. •• It is normal for the convection fan to run while preheating during a regular bake cycle. •• The convection fan motor may run periodically during a regular bake cycle. •• The fan turns off if the door is left open during baking. The fan turns back on automatically once the door is closed.
28 OPERATION Baking Tips Tips for Convection Baking •• Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics, size, and shape of the baking pan used. •• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds. •• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time. •• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food.
OPERATION 29 Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in the positions shown.
30 OPERATION Broil Smoking The Broil function uses intense heat from the upper heating element to cook food. Broiling works best for tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut vegetables. Some models may feature a hybrid broiler consisting of an inner broiler that utilizes a carbon heating element which provides instantaneous heat, and a traditional outer broiling element. During normal broiler operation, it is normal for either element to cycle off intermittently.
OPERATION 31 The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature. For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling. Food Ground Beef Quantity and/or Thickness Rack First Side Position (minutes) Second Side (minutes) Comments 1 lb. (4 patties) 1/2 to 3/4" thick 7 4-6 2-4 Beef Steaks Rare Medium Well done 1" thick 1 to 11/2 lbs.
