SMOOTHTOP COOKTOP

SMOOTHTOP COOKTOP AREAS

• Thefourcookingareason yourrangeareidentifiedby permanentpatternsinthe cooktop.Therearetwo large(8-inch)andtwosmall (6-inch)areas.Thepatterns onyourcooktopmaynot looklikethecooktopinthis illustration but your cooktop will operate as described in this manual.
• Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it thoroughly as directed on the cleaning chart on page 24. This will protect the smoothtop and will guarantee a clean cooktop when the elements are turned on.
• During the first few hours of use, you may notice that the cooktop emits a slight burning odor and a light smoke. Both of these conditions are normal.
• When a cooking area is turned on, the coil element under the cooktop will heat up and glow red. To maintain the heat setting the element will cycle on and off. It is normal to see a red glow through the smoothtop when the element cycles on.

HOT SURFACE LIGHT

• Your range is equipped with a HOT SURFACE light located at the center-back of the smoothtop. This red light will turn on to indicate that the smoothtop is hot and will remain on until the top has cooled.

RETAINED HEAT

• The smoothtop cooking area retains heat for a period of time after the element has been turned off. Turn the element off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete the cooking operation. After 30 minutes, the cooktop may be too cool to keep foods warm. However, the top may still be too warm to touch. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off, the top will be cool enough to touch.

COOKING TIPS

• When cooking delicate foods which easily scorch or overcook, start with a lower heat setting then gradually increase until you find the optimum setting. Boilovers are more likely to occur if you start out on HIGH then reduce to the lower setting, if you do begin cooking on HIGH, reduce to a lower setting before liquids come to a full boil.
• If food is cooking too fast or if a boilover occurs, remove lid or remove cookware from cooking area and reduce to a lower setting. Allow enough time for the cooking area to adjust to the new setting.

COOKWARE TIPS

• Aluminum lob will damage the smoothtop if it melts onto the glass. Do not use foil-type disposable containers such as popcorn poppers. They may leave metal marks or may permanently melt onto the smoothtop. Do not use cooktop if metal or aluminum foil melts onto the smoothtop. Call an authorized servicer.
• Aluminum cookware will cause metal marks on the glass if you slide them across the smoothop. Remove any metal marks immediately using Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
• Glass ceramic, earthenware, porcelain over metal, heat-proof glass or glazed cookware may scratch the smoothtop cooktop if you slide them across the top.

TO PEOTECT SMOOTHTOP

• Do not use the top as a work surface or as a cutting board. Do not cook food directly on the cooktop.
• Do not use a trivet or metal stand (such as a wok ring) between the utensil and the cooktop. These items can mark or etch the surface and affect cooking efficiency.
• Do not place plastics on a warm or hot cooking area. They will melt and adhere to the smoothtop. The smoothtop may chip or pit in attempting to remove melted plastic from the top.
• To prevent scratching or damage to the smoothtop, do not leave sugar, salt, sand, soil, shortening or other fats on the cooking area. Be sure area is free from these before turning on cooking area.
• Be sure the bottom of the cookware is smooth and free of nicks, scratches or rough areas as they may scratch the smoothtop.
• Do not allow a pan to boil dry. This could cause permanent damage to the smoothtop.

CARE INFORMATION

• To help keep cooktop clean, be sure cooking area and cookware bottom are clean and dry before each use.
• To prevent possible damage to the cooktop, always rinse the bottom of cookware to completely remove any cleaning agent residue. This is especially important when using a copper or aluminum cleaner. In the presence of heat, the cleaning residue may stain, discolor or etch the smoothtop.
• Carefully blot up spitlovers around the outside of the cooking area as they occur with dry paper towels. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN HANDS WHEN WIPING UP SPILLS. DO NOT USE A DAMP CLOTH WHICH MAY CAUSE STEAM BURNS.

CALITION: Do not use cooktop if the smoothtop is cracked, broken, or if metal melts onto the cooktop. Call an authorized servicer. Do not attempt to repair the ooktop yourself

When surface is cool, clean as directed in the chart on page 26. DO NOT USE the following cleaning agents:

• Abrasives (metal scouring pads, cleansing powders, scouring cleaners or pads) will scratch the smoothtop.
• Chemicals (oven cleaners, chlorine bleaches, rust removers or ammonia) may damage the finish of the smoothtop.
• Glass cleaners containing ammonia may harm the smoothtop.
• Soiled cloth or sponge will leave an invisible film on the cooktop which may scratch or cause discoloration the next time the cooktop is used.

IMPORTANT: Watch sugary or starchy solutions carefully to avoid boilovers. If a sugar solution (such as jam, jelly, candy) or a starch solution (such as potatoes, rice) boils over, it may pit or discofor the smoothtop. Turn element to LOW and clean sugary boilovers immediately. See page 24 for complete cleaning instructions.

PROBLEM SOLVING CHART

COOKTOP USE .

Control knobs

Your cooktop is equipped with control knobs that provide an infinite choice of settings from LOW to HIGH. The knob can be set on or between any of the numbered settings.

To operate push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired setting. An indicator light will glow when a surface element is turned on, The indicator light will remain on until the element is turned off. After a cooking operation, be sure the element and indicator light are off.

To operate dual element:

• Press the rocker switch marked COIL SIZE to select either the 9" or 6" size element.
  NOTE: If the 9" size is selected, both the inner and outer circles will heat. if the 6" size is selected, only the inner circle witl heat.
• Push in and turn the LEFT REAR surface control knob to the desired heat setting.

General cooking tips

• To prevent damage to the range or utensil, never operate surface unit without a pan in place, never allow a pan to boil dry and never operate an element on HIGH for extended periods of time.
• Food will not cook any faster at a higher setting than needed to maintain a gentte boil. Water boits at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously. If a high setting is used, excessive spattering will occur and food may stick or burn onto the bottom of the pan.
• If a higher heat setting is used to bring liquid to a boil or to begin cooking, always reduce to a lower setting once liquid comes to a boil or food begins cooking. Never leave food unattended during a cooking operation.
• Fit the size of the cookware to the size of the element. This conserves energy.

Canning

• Use HIGH just until water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the pressure canner. Then, reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. Prolonged use of HIGH or the use of incorrect canning utensils will produce excessive heat. Excessive heat can cause permanent damage to the cooktop.

Suggested heat setting guide

Refer to cookware manufacturer's recommendations for suggested heat settings. Some manufacturers do not recommend the use of HIGH, or the use of HIGH for extended cooking operations.

OVEN USE

OVEN LIGHT

• To turn on oven light: Push the rocker switch located on the control panel.
• To replace oven light: Be sure bulb is cool. Use a dry potholder, to prevent possible harm to hands, and very carefully unscrew bulb cover and bulb.

• Replace with a 40 watt appliance bulb. Replace bulb cover and reconnect power to range. Reset the clock.

OVEN VENT

• The oven vent is located at the rear of the cooktop. When the oven is in use, this area may feel warm or hot to the touch. To prevent baking problems, do not block the vent opening in any way.

OVEN CHARACTERISTICS

• Because each oven has its own personal baking characteristics, do not expect that your new oven will perform exactly like your previous oven. "Youmay find that the cooking times, oven temperatures, and cooking results differ somewhat from your previous range. Allow a period of adjustment. If you have questions concerning baking results, please refer to pages 18, 19, and 28 for additional information.

FAN

• A fan will automatically turn on whenever the oven is set for a cooking or a cleaning operation. After the operation, the fan will automatically turn off when the oven has cooled.

PREHEATING

• Preheating is necessary for baking. To preheat, set the oven to the desired temperature and allow about 10 to t 5 minutes for the oven to preheat. A single beep will indicate that the oven is preheated. It is not necessary to preheat for roasting.
• Selecting a temperature higher than desired will NOT preheat the oven any faster, and may have a negative effect on baking results.

HOW TO SET OVEN

1. Press the OVEN TEMP pad.
   • 000 ° and BAKE indicator words wilt appear in the display.
2. Press the and pad. Then press either pad until the desired oven temperature is displayed.
   • 350 ° will appear in the display when either pad is pressed once.
   • The oven temperature can be set from 170° to 550 °. ° The ON indicator word and 75° or the actual oven temperature, whichever is higher, will appear in the display.
   • The temperature in the display will increase in 5° increments until the oven reaches the preset temperature.
   • Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the oven to preheat. A single beep will sound when the oven is preheated.
3. Place the food in the center of the oven allowing a minimum of 1 to 2-inches between the utensil and the oven walls.
4. Check food for aloneness at the minimum cooking time. Cook longer if needed. Cooking time may vary from oven to oven.
5. At the end of cooking, turn the oven off by pressing the CANCEL pad. Remove food from the oven.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• If you press the OVEN TEMP pad and do not set an oven temperature within 30 seconds, the program wilt automatically cancel and the time of day will reappear in the display.
• To recall the preset temperature during preheat, press the OVEN TEMP pad.
• To change the oven temperature during cooking, press the and pad until the desired temperature is displayed. ° The oven features an automatic shut-off. If the oven is left on for 12 hours it will automatically turn off.

OVEN RACKS

• The two oven racks are designed with a safety lock-stop position to keep the racks from accidently coming completely out of the oven when pulling the rack out to add or remove food.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to change the rack positions when the oven is hot

• To remove: Be sure the rack is cool. Pull the rack straight out until it stops at the lock-stop position. Tilt the front end of the rack up and continue pulling the rack out of the oven
• To replace: Place the rack on the rack supports and tilt the front end of the rack up slightly. Slide it back until it clears the lock-stop position. Lower the front and slide the rack straight in. Pull the rack out to the lock-stop position to be sure it is positioned correctly and then return it to its normal position.
• It is important that air can circulate freely within the oven and around the food. To help ensure this, place food on the center of the oven rack. Allow two inches between the edge of the utensil(s) and the oven walls.
• For optimum baking results of cakes, cookies or biscuits, use one rack. Position the rack so the food is in the center of the oven. Use either rack position 2 or 3.
• If cooking on more than one rack, stagger the food to ensure proper air flow.

• If cooking on two racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 for cakes and rack positions 1 and 4 when using cookie sheets. Never place two cookie sheets on one rack.
• If roasting a large turkey, place the turkey on rack 1 and the side dishes on rack 5.

RACK POSITIONS

GENERAL BAKING TIPS

Use a reliable recipe and accurately measure fresh ingredients. Carefully follow directions for oven temperature and cooking time.

Preheat oven if recommended in the recipe or package directions. Selecting a temperature higher than the desired temperature wilt not preheat the oven any faster. In fact, this may have a negative effect on baking results.

Use the correct rack position. Baking results may be affected if the wrong rack position is used. For optimum results, bake foods on one rack. Select a rack position that locates the food in the center of the oven. If baking on two racks, select rack positions #2 and 4, #1 and 4 or #2 and 5.

• Top browning may be darker if food is located toward the top of the oven.
• Bottom browning may be darker if food is located toward the bottom of the oven.
• When using two racks for baking, allow enough space between the racks for proper air circulation. Browning and cooking results will be affected if air flow is blocked.

Cookware material plays an important part in baking results. Always use the type and size of pan called for in the recipe. Cooking times or cooking resutts may be affected if the wrong size is used.

• A shiny metal pan reflects heat away from the food. This type of pan produces lighter browning and a softer crust. Use shiny pans for baking cakes or cookies.
• A dark, dull, anodized or satin-finish metal pan absorbs heat and produces darker browning with a crisper crust. Use dark pans for pies, pie crusts or bread.
• For optimum baking results, bake cookies and biscuits on a flat cookie sheet. If the pan has sides, such as a jelly rotl pan, browning may not be even.
• If using heat-proof glassware, or dark pans such as Baker's Secret or Wilton reduce the oven temperature by 25°F except when baking pies or bread. Use the same baking time as called for in the recipe.

Use of aluminum foil: Do not cover the oven bottom or an entire rack with foil or place foil directly under cookware. To catch spillovers, place a piece of foil a little larger than the pan, on the rack below the pan.

Allow hot air to flow freely through the oven for optimum baking results. Improper placement of pans in the oven will block air flow and may result in uneven browning. For optimum browning and even cooking results:

• Do not crowd a rack with pans. Never place more than one cookie sheet, one 13x9x2-inch cake pan or two 9-inch round cake pans on one rack.
• Stagger pans when baking on two racks so one pan is not directly over another pan.
• Allow one to two inches between the pan and the oven walls.

Check the cooking progress at the minimum time recommended in the recipe. If necessary, continue checking at intervals until the food is done. If the oven door is opened too frequently, heat will escape from the oven; this can affect baking results and wastes energy.

If you add additional ingredients or alter the recipe, expect cooking times to increase or decrease slightly

COMMON BAKING PROBLEMS AND WHY THEY HAPPEN

AUTOMATIC OVEN COOKING

The Automatic Oven Cooking feature is used to turn he oven on and off at a press time of day.This feature can be used to:

• Turn the oven on immediately (immediate start).
• Delay the start of cooking (delay start).

The feature can be used with either oven cooking or the self-cleaning oven feature. See page 26 for instructions on delaying the start of a clean cycle.

Press the CANCEL pad to cancel the beeps. The current time of day will reappear in the display when the CANCEL pad is pressed. Remove the food from the oven.

BROILING

• Broiling is a method of cooking tender meats by direct heat. The cooking time is determined by the distance between the meat and the broil element, the desired degree of doneness and the thickness of the meat.
• Broiling requires the use of the broiler pan and insert. The broiler insert must be in place to allow fat and liquid to drain to the pan below to prevent spatters, smoke and flare-ups. Improper use may cause grease fires.
• For easier clean up, line the broiler pan with foil and spray the insert with a non-stick vegetable spray. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil as this prevents fat from draining into pan below.
• Trim excess fat and slash remaining fat to help keep meat from curling and to reduce smoking and spattering. Season meat after cooking.
• Place oven rack in the correct rack position when oven is cool. For darker browning, place meat closer to the broil element. Place meat further down if you wish meat to be well done or if excessive smoking or flaring occurs.
• See Care and Cleaning Chart on page 23 for instructions on cleaning the broiler pan and insert.

To set oven to broil:

1. Press the BROIL pad. 000° and BROIL indicator words will appear in the display
2. Press the pad to select HI for normal broiling or press the pad to select Lo for low temperature broiling.
3. For optimum browning results, remove the broiler pan and preheat the broil element for 3 minutes.
4. Broil with the oven door opened to the broil stop position (opened about 6-inches). Turn meat once about half way through cooking. Check for doneness by cutting a slit in the meat near the center for desired color.
5. At the end of cooking, remove the broiler pan and press the CANCEL pad to cancel the broil operation. The current time of day will reappear in the display.

Use HI BROIL for most broil operations. Select Lo BROIL when broiling longer cooking foods such as poultry. The lower temperature allows food to cook to the well done stage without excessive browning. Cooking time will increase if Lo BROIL is selected.

Broil times will increase if oven is installed on a 208-volt circuit.

BROILING CHART

MAINTENANCE

OVEN DOOR

• Do not place excessive weight on an open oven door or stand on an open oven door as,in some cases,it could cause the range to tip over,break the door or cause serious injury to the user.
• When opening the oven door, allows team and hot air to escape before reaching in oven to check, add or remove food. Do not attempt to open or close door until the door is completely seated on the hinge arms.Never turn on the oven unless door is properly in place.When baking, be sure the door is completely closed. Baking results will be affected if the door is not securely closed

CAUTION: Hinge arms are spring mounted and will slam shut against the range if accidently hit. Never place hand or fingers between the hinges and the front oven frame. You could be injured if hinge snaps back.

• To remove lilt-off door: When cool, open the door to the "stop" position (opened about 6 inches) and grasp the door at each side, Do not use the door handle to lift the door. Lift up evenly until the door clears the hinge arms.

• To replace door: Grasp the door at each side, align slots in the door with the hinge arms and slide the door down onto the hinge arms until it is completely seated on hinges.

DOOR LOCK LEVER

• The oven door is locked for a self-clean operation only. Do not move the door lock lever to the right or locked position during a cooking operation.
• If the door is locked, the operation wil! automatically be cancelled and "door" will appear in the display. If the oven is hot enough to engage the internal lock, the oven door will not open. Allow the oven to cool for up to an hour, then unlock and open the door.

STORAGE DRAWER

• On slide-in models only, the storage drawer at the bottom of the range is safe and convenient for storing metal and glass cookware. DO NOT store plastic, paperware, food or flammable material in this drawer. Remove drawer to clean under range. NOTE: Drop-in ranges do not feature a storage drawer.
• To remove: Empty drawer then pull drawer out to the first stop position. Lift up front of drawer and pull to the second stop position. Grasp sides and lift up and out to remove drawer.
• To replace: Fit the ends of the drawer glides onto the rails. Lift up drawer front and gently push in to first stop position. Lift up drawer again and continue to slide drawer to the closed position.

LEVELLING LEGS

• Some floors are not level. For proper baking, your range must be level. Leveling legs are located on each corner at the base of the range. Level by turning the legs. To prevent range from accidently tipping, range should be secured to the floor by sliding a rear leveling leg into the anti-tip bracket supplied with the range.

To prevent staining or discoloration, clean cooktop after each use.

CARE AND CLEANING CHART

SELF-CLEAN OVEN

SELF-CLEAN OVEN

• The self-clean oven uses temperatures above normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the entire oven interior.

CAUTION: It is normat for parts of the range to become hot during a clean cycle. Therefore, during a clean cycle, avoid touching the cooktop, oven vent area, oven door and window.

• It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.
• Turn off the oven light before a clean cycle. If the oven light is left on, the light bulb will burn out during the clean cycle.

Before Self-Cleaning

• Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the oven. The racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a clean cycle.
• Clean oven frame, door frame and around the oven vent with a non-abrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami or detergent and water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and shouJd be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle.
• Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking and flare-ups during the clean cycle.
• Wipe up sugary spfllovers and acid spillovers such as lemon juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acid spills are not wiped up immediately.
• Do not use oven cleaners on the self-clean oven finish or around any part of the oven as they will damage the finish or parts.
• To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

During Self-Cleaning

• When the door is locked and the CLEAN pad is pressed, the oven wilt automatically begin to heat to cleaning temperatures.
• NOTE: A fan will automatically turn on during the self-clean cycle and will automatically turn off after the clean cycle when the oven has cooled.
• As the oven reaches cleaning temperatures, the LOCK indicator will appear in the display to show that an internal tock mechanism has engaged. At this point, the oven door can not be unlocked and opened.
• To prevent damage to the door and lock lever, do not force the door open when the LOCK indicator is displayed.
• The first few times the oven is cleaned, some smoke and odor may be detected. This is norma] and will lessen or disappear with use. If the oven is heavily soiled, or if the broiler pan was accidently left in the oven, smoke and odor may occur.
• As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and wili not damage your appliance.

After Self-Cleaning

• About one hour after the end of the clean cycle, the internal lock wilt disengage and the LOCK indicator will turn off. At this point, the door can be unlocked and opened. Move the door lock lever to the left or unlocked position and open the door. The oven may still be hot.
• Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash which can be removed with a damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.
• if the oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement.
• Clean around the oven vent opening at the rear of the cooktop if there is a deposit from the fumes vented during the clean cycle. Use detergent and water and a cloth or non-abrasive pad.
• Fine, hair-like lines may appear in the oven interior or oven door. This is a normal condition resulting from heating and cooling of the porcelain finish. These lines do not affect the performance of the oven.

NOTE: If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive smoke and flaring may result in a fault code during a self-clean cycle. If this occurs, press the CANCEL pad and allow the oven to cool for an hour.

ADJUSTING OVEN TEMPERATURE

If you have carefully followed the recipe, reviewed the baking tips in this manual and still feel cooking results do not meet your expectations, you can adjust the oven temperature. DO NOT ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE if only one or two items are not baking properly.

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the thermostat, set the oven temperature 25°F higher or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of the "test" should give you an idea of how much to adjust the thermostat.

To adjust the thermostat:

1. Press the OVEN TEMP pad.
2. Press the pad until 550 ° is displayed.
3. Press and hold the OVEN TEMP pad for several seconds.
   • The display will show the ambient oven temperature for a few seconds then 00° will appear in the display.
   • If 00° does not appear in the display, press the CANCEL pad and begin again.
   • If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change will be displayed. For example, if the temperature was reduced by 15°, -15 ° will be displayed.
4. Press the or pad to select the temperature change desired.
   • The oven temperature can be increased up to 35° or reduced by as much as 35 ° (-35 °) in 5° increments.
   • If you delay in selecting a temperature, the program will automatically cancel and 00° will disappear. Begin again if the program cancels.
5. Press the CANCEL pad and the time of day will reappear in the display.
   • The oven will now bake at the adjusted temperature.

NOTE: It is not necessary to readjust the oven temperature if there is a power interruption. This adjustment will not affect broil or clean temperatures.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
