IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5 WARNING Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating. Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot. • Do not store or use flammable material in the oven or near or on the cooktop. Flammable materials include paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids such as grease or cooking oil.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CHILD SAFETY • Do not touch the hot surface between the bottom of the oven door and the top of the drawer on the front of the oven while the oven is in operation. The surface becomes hot and can cause burns and other injury. • Do not leave small children unattended near the oven. WARNING Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7 ENERGY SAVING TIPS • Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy. Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the same cooking temperature together in one oven. • For optimal performance and energy savings, follow the guides on page 30 for proper rack and pan placements. • Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to save energy when heating. Heating ½ quart of water requires more energy in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns caused by touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls. • Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard.

OPERATION 25 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. Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area. When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooktop surface. NOTE It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on and off during cooking, even on higher settings.
OPERATION Turning on the Dual element Turning on the Warming Zone There is one dual element located in the left front position. Use the dual element as a dual or single element. 1 Push in the appropriate knob. 2-A Turn the knob counterclockwise to use it as a Single element. 2-B Turn the knob clockwise to use it as a Dual unit. CAUTION FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140 °F. • Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm setting to heat cold food.
OPERATION 27 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 Using the Oven 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 heat turns off if the door is left open during baking.
OPERATION 29 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 Recommended Baking and Roasting Guide 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.
OPERATION 31 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 Recommended Broiling Guide 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 Quantity and/or Thickness Ground Beef Well done 1 lb.
OPERATION 33 Setting the Warm Function Beef 1 Touch Warm or Warm/Proof. On the lower oven, touch Warm/Proof to toggle between warm and proof. 2 Touch Start. 3 Touch Clear/Off at any time to cancel. • Steaks and chops should always be allowed to rest for five minutes before being cut into and eaten. This allows the heat to distribute evenly through the food and creates a more tender and juicy result.
OPERATION Lower Pizza NOTE • To avoid lowering the oven temperature and lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily. Check bread products early to avoid over proofing. • Do not use the proofing mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to keep foods at safe temperatures. Use the Warm feature to keep food warm. Proofing does not operate when the oven is above 125 °F.
