How Induction Surface Cooking Works

The elements beneath the cooking surface produce a magnetic field that generates heat in ferrous metal pans that are in close proximity.

The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat is produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be generated until a pan is placed on the cooking surface.

When the element is activated, the pan begins to heat immediately and in turn heats the contents of the pan.

Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of cookware made of ferrous metals-metals to which magenets will stick, such as iron or steel.

Use pans that fit the elements size. The pan must be large enough for the element to detect the pan and be able to deliver full power.

The cooktop will not operate if a very small steel or iron utensil, such as a steel spatula, cooking spoon, knife or other small utensil, is placed on the cooking surface when the unit is turned on.

CAUTION

• The induction cooking elements may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
• DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with hands. Always use mitts or pot holders to protect hands from burns.
• DO NOT SLIDE cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

Operating the Cooktop Elements

WARNING FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range unattended with the cooktop on medium or high settings. Keep flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, serious injury or death.

Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.

Turn element(s) On: Place your induction designed cookware on the cooking surface. Touch and hold On/ Off pad about half a second. A chime can be heard with each touch to any pad.

Power level can be selected in any of the following ways:

1. Swipe the gray arc (on the graphics) to the desired power level. There is no sensor on the LEDs, or;
2. Touch Anywhere along the gray arc, or;
3. Touch + or - pads to adjust power level, or;
4. Shortcut to Hi: Immediately after turning unit on, touch the + pad, or;
5. Shortcut to Low: Immediately after turning unit on, touch the - pad.

Using the Warming Zone

WARNING

FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140°F.

• Always start with hot food. Do not use warm setting to heat cold food
• Do not use warm setting for more than 2 hours

The WARMING ZONE, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.

To use the WARMING ZONE:

Press the WARMING ZONE pad, select the desired level (1, 2 or 3) using the number pads, and press start.

To turn off the WARMING ZONE:

Press the WARMING ZONE pad.

For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

The initial temperature, type and amount of food, type of pan, and the time held will affect the quality of the food.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the WARMING ZONE, since cookware and plates will be hot.

NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red

How To Synchronize Left Elements

To Turn On

Hold the Sync Burners pad for about half a second to connect the two elements. Operate either element as described in Operating the Cooktop Elements to adjust power level.

To Turn Off

1. Touch the On/Off pad on either element to turn off the Sync Burners.

or

2. Touch the Sync Burners to trun both elements off.

Cookware for Induction Cooktop

Using the correct size cookware

Pans that are not ferrous or are too small will not allow the induction elements to turn on, and the ON indicator for that element location will flash for 25 seconds and then turn off. If a pan is removed from or not centered on the induction coil for more than 30 seconds, the power for that element will be shut off.

Cookware larger than the element ring may be used; however, heat will only occur above the element.

For best results, the cookware must make FULL contact with the glass surface.

Do not allow the bottom of the pan or cookware to touch the surrounding metal cooktop trim.

For best performance, match the pan size to the element For best performance, match the pan size element size. Using a smaller pot on a larger burner will generate less power at any given setting.

Suitable Cookware

Use quality cooware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution and even cooking results. Choose cookware made of magnetic stainless steel, enamel coated cast iron, enameled steel or combinations of these materials.

Some cookware is specifically identified by the manufacturer for use with induction cootops. Use a magnet to test if the cookware will work.

Flat-bottomed pans give best results. Pans with rims or slight ridges can be used.

Round pans give best results. Pans with warped or curved bottoms will not heat evenly. For wok cooking, use a flat-bottomed wok. Do not use a wok with a support ring.

Cookware “Noise”

Slight sounds may be produced by different types of cookware. Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-ply stainless steel pan. The size of the pan, and the amount of contents, can also contribute to the sound level.

When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power level settings, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low whistle or intermittent “hum”. These noises can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level settings of one or both of the elements. Pans that completely cover the element ring will produce less noise.

A low “humming” noise is normal particularly on high settings.

Sounds you may here: You may hear a slight “Buzz” when cooking with Hi mode. This is normal. The sound depends on the type of pot being used. Some pots will “Buzz” louder depending on the material. A “Buzz” sound may be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the pan heats, the sound will decrease. If the power level is reduced, the sound level will go down.

Power Control

If a surface unit is on power level H (high), for an extended period of time or if multiple surface units are on, there may be a slight reduction in power to the surface unit. Water under pans may also cause the controls to reduce the power delivered to the cookware.

Cookware recommendations

Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element.

Use flat-bottomed pans sized to fit the cooking element and also to the amount of food being prepared. Induction interface disks are NOT recommende.

Oven Racks

Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.

Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditonal flat racks.

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

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.

If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25°F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods.

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode uses heat only from the lower burner. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode, press the Bake pad, enter a temperature, then press Start/Enter

Warm

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food It is recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press the Warm pad and then press Start/Enter.

Some models may also have warming drawers. Three settings are available - use High for items such as stews, meats, and potatoes; use Medium for items such as casseroles and pizzas; use Low for items such as breads, waffles, and also for warming oven-safe dishes

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed. Monitor food closely while broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil burner increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. It is not necessary to preheat when using the Broil modes

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper burner to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for the thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would licke to have a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start/Enter

Broil Lo

The Broil Low mode uses less intense heat from the upper burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the the surface. Use Broil Low for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start/Enter.

Frozen Snacks

The Frozen Snacks modes are designed to cook frozen foods such as potato nuggets, French fries, and similar frozen snacks and appetizers. Most foods will cook within package recommended time. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences. Press Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Use Frozen Snack Single when cooking frozen snacks on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.

Use Frozen Snack Single when cooking frozen snacks on two racks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking.

Frozen Pizza

The Frozen Pizza modes are designed to cook frozen pizzas. Most pizzas will cook within package recommended times. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences.

Use Frozen Snack Single when cooking frozen snacks. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.

Use Frozen Snack Single when cooking frozen snacks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking.Press Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Baked Goods

The Baked Goods mode is designed for cooking cakes, breads, cookies, and similar foods on a single rack. This mode is designed to provide lighter top browning and better volume. Some foods may require slightly longer cook times relative to when cooked in the traditional bake mode. Press Options and select Baked Goods than follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the temperature when using this mode. Always preheat when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to improve browning and reduce cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this mode, or use the probe (see the Probe section for more information). It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

Proof

Proof mode maintains a warm environment for rising yeast-leavened dough. If the oven is too warm, Proof mode will not operate and the display will show "Oven too hot for Proof". For best results, cover the dough while proofing and check early to avoid over-proofing. Press Options and select Proof then follow any display prompts or press the Proof pad (on some models) to access this mode.

CAUTION Do not use the Proof mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures.

Oven Probe

Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food temperature reaches the programmed temperature.

Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe intermal temperature for that food.

Proper Probe Placement

After preparing the meat and placing it on the cocking pan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.

• Insert the probe into the food, so that the tip of the probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of the food. For best performance the probe should be fully inserted into the food. If the probe is not located properly, t may not accurately measure the temperature of the coolest portion of the food. Some foods, particularly small items, are not well suited for cooking with the probe due to their shape or size.
• The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
• For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast.
• For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
• For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the probe into the center of the dish.
• For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Probe Usage

The temperature probe can only be used with Bake,Convection Bake, and Convection Roast.

To use the probe with preheating:

1. Select the desired cook mode (Bake, ConvectionBake, or Convection Roast) pad and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads.
2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement)
3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet. making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven walls and probe outlet are hot
4. When the probe is connected, the display will prompt you to enter the desired food temperature. The maximum intermal food temperature that you can set is 200 F.

To use the probe without preheating:

1. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
2. Place the food in the oven and connect the probe into the probe outlet in the oven.
3. Press the Cook Mode pad (Traditional Bake,Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads. Press Options and select Probe then follow the display prompts to enter the desired food temperature.

Probe Care Guidelines

• Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe outlet.
• Use the handies of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet.
• To avold damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
• To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting the probe.
• To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
• Never leave the probe inside the oven during a self or steam clean cycle.
• Do not store the probe in the oven.

Cooking Guide

*When baking four cake layers at a time, stagger the pans as shown to the right so that one pan is not directly above another.
Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Make sure to use a food thermometer to take food temperatures.

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel-they will damage the finish, including Black Stainless Steel.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.
Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Painted Surfaces and Black Stainless Steel

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, including Black Stainless Steel.

Stainless Steel - Excluding Black Stainless Steel (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

Cleaning the Range – Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.

Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using the Self Clean Mode. Self Clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. For a moderately soiled oven, run a 3 hour self-clean cycle. For a heavily soiled oven, run a 5 hour self-clean cycle. Only self-clean (black) racks and grates may remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. All other items, including nickel plated (sliver) racks, should be removed. If nicked plated (siver) racks are left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the racks will tarnish. If either type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide. See the Oven Racks section for instructions on how to improve.
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.
To use the Self Clean feature:

1. Start with the oven at room temperature
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven and interior door.
3. Remove all items other than seft-clean (black) racks and grates, if desired.. See Cleaning the Cooktop to determine if your grates may be self-cleaned and for important details regarding grate placement.
4. Close the door.
5. Press the Clean pad, select Seft Clean and then press Start/Enter.

You cannot open the door during the self-clean cycle. The door will remain locked after the self-clean cycle until the oven cools below the unlocking temperature. At the end of the self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool and wipe any ash out of the oven.

To Stop a Self-Clean Cycle

Press the Cancel/Off pad. Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the oven has cooled below the locking temperature.

On Some Models:

The surface units are automatically disabled during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

Racks

All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity during self clean.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

The bake element is not exposed and is under the oven floor. Clean the oven floor with warm, soapy water

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop

Normal Daily Use Cleaning
