Operating Instructions

Using the surface units.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Set

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.

At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the power level you set.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will glow when any radiant element is turned on, and will remain on until the surface is cooled to approximately 150°F.

Indicator light will;

• come on when the unit is hot to the touch.
• stay on even after the unit is turned off.
• glow until the unit is cooled to approximately 150°F.

Dual Surface Unit Control Knob

The right front surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware you are using.

To use the small (6 inch) surface unit, turn the control knob to the SMALL BURNER settings.

To use the large (9 inch) surface unit, turn the control knob to the LARGE BURNER settings.

Temperature Limiter

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if:

• The pan boils dry.
• The pan bottom is not flat.
• The pan is off center.
• There is no pan on the unit.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the cooktop.

Do not use round bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

About the radiant surface units…

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

Always place , the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.
• Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
• Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Selecting types of cookware.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Using the oven

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The oven has 6 shelf positions.

The shelves have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out until it stops.

To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the shelf in the lowest position (A).

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Press the number pads to set the desired temperature.
3. Press the START pad.
4. Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when cooking is complete.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Center baking pans in the oven.

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 15–20 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to 11 ⁄2 ″ of air space around it. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.

Aluminum Foil

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

1. Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
2. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher. Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.
3. Press the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil. To change to LO Broil, press the BROIL HI/LO pad again.
4. Press the START pad.
5. When broiling is finished, press the CLEAR/OFF pad.

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.

Using the clock and timer.

Care and Cleaning

Before a Clean Cycle

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove the shelves, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

1. Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
2. Using the number pads, enter the desired clean time, if a time other than 4 hours is needed. Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You can change the clean time to any time between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is.
3. Touch the START pad.

The door locks automatically. The display will show the clean time remaining. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED DOOR light goes off.

When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open the door.

The oven shuts off automatically when the clean cycle is complete.

• The words LOCK DOOR will flash and the oven control will signal if you set the clean cycle and forget to close the oven door.
• To stop a clean cycle, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED DOOR light goes off indicating the oven has cooled below the locking temperature, open the door.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning

Make sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

1. Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
2. Using the number pads, enter the desired clean time.
3. Touch the DELAY START pad. The earliest start time you can set will appear in the display.
4. Using the number pads, enter the time of day you want the clean cycle to start.
5. Touch the START pad.

The door locks automatically. The display will show the start time. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED DOOR light goes off.

When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open the door.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soapfilled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.

• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to be unlatched.
• While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, press the COOKING TIME pad.
• If the shelves become hard to slide, apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.

Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape (on some models) must be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs are in the OFF position. When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure proper placement.

Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

The knob stem has a groove in each side. The groove on one side has a spring clip. The other groove is clear (see illustration). Check the inside of the knob and find the molded rib.

Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside the knob into the clear groove on the stem.

The knob stem is flat on one side (see illustration). Check the inside of the knob and find the molded flat area.

Replace the knob by fitting the molded flat area inside the knob onto the flat area of the stem.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located behind the right rear surface unit.

This area could become hot during oven use.

It is normal for steam to come out of the vent and moisture may collect underneath it when the oven is in use.

The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

Control Panel

• Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
• You may also use a glass cleaner.
• Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water.
• Do not use abrasives of any kind.

Lift-Off Oven Door

Pull the hinge locks down to the unlocked position.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

The oven door is removable for easier access to the light bulb.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door:

1. Fully open the door.
2. Each hinge has a hinge lock. Using a tool, pull the hinge locks down against the door frame.
3. Firmly grasp the door at the top sides.
4. Close the door to the stop position.
5. Lift the door up and pull straight out.

To replace the door:

1. Firmly grasp the door at the top sides. This is critical.

2. Approach the range with the door angled in a vertical position.

3. Guide the hinges into the slots.

4. Push door in firmly while opening.

5. Once in position, open the door completely. Push the hinge locks back in towards the front frame.

To clean the inside of the door:

• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.
• The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soapfilled steel wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
• If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Oven Shelves

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

To make the shelves slide more easily, apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel.

Storage Drawer Removal

To remove the drawer:

1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.
2. Lift the front of the drawer until the stops clear the guides.
3. Remove the drawer.

To replace the drawer:

1. Place the drawer rails on the guides.
2. Push the drawer back until it stops.
3. Lift the front of the drawer and push back until the stops clear the guides.

Normal Daily Use Cleaning

Clean your cooktop after each spill.

ONLY use the recommended cleaning cream, Cerama Bryte®, on the glass cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective.

To maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop, follow these steps:

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with the cooktop cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
2. Daily use of the cooktop cleaning cream will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of the cream directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface.

NOTE: It is very important that you DO NOT heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

2. 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.

WARNING: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.

Cooktop Seal

To clean the cooktop seal around the edges of the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean with nonabrasive cleaners.

Glass surface – potential for permanent damage.
