Important Instructions For Ceramic Glass
Cooktops
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is
broken, cleaning solutions and spills may
penetrate the cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Exercise caution when cleaning the cooktop. If a
wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
Important Instructions for Using your Cooktop
Know which knob or keypad controls each surface
cooking zone. Place pan with food on the cooking
zone before turning it on. Turn the cooking zone off
before removing the pan.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped
with induction cooking zones of different sizes.
Select utensils specifically manufactured or
approved for induction cooking. Pans should have
flat bottoms that match the induction cooking zone
size. Using the proper utensil on the cooking zone
will improve efficiency.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spills due to unintentional contact
with the cookware, turn utensil handles inward and
do not extend them over other cooking zones.
Never leave surface cooking zones unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spills
may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be
damaged and may damage the cooktop.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn on the fan.
Important Instructions for Using Your Oven
Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the door of a
hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Induction Cooking Zones
Your cooktop is equipped with four induction cooking zones
of different sizes and a radiant heat warmer zone (Figure 1).
Benefits of Induction Surface Cooking
Fast and efficient - Induction cooking zones heat faster and
use less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil
and they are efficient when simmering.
A cooler cooktop - A unique feature of the induction cooking
zones is, whether it is turned on or off, the cooking zones
remain cooler than radiant type elements. Virtually no
wasted heat is produced since the heat begins with the
presence of cookware.
Easy cleanups - The cooler cooking zones make cleanup
easier. Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up
easily.
Magnetic detector - The cooking zone has a sensor that
automatically detects whether cookware is magnetic. This
will reduce accidental “turn-ons.”
Pan size detection - The pan size recognition sensor auto-
matically detects and adapts the induction cooking zones to
the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More responsive - Induction cooking zones are more
responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because
only the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and
will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.
Induction cooking directly heats the pan; heating will only
begin when cookware is properly placed on the cooking
zones.
Induction Cookware
When purchasing pans for use on the induction cooktop,
look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer
as induction ready, induction capable, or a similar statement
by the manufacturer that the cookware is specifically
designed for induction cooking.
The cooking zones will not activate if the cookware is not
constructed with a base magnetic material. To check if the
cookware base material is suitable, use a magnet to test
(Figure 2). If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware,
the material type is correct.
For the best possible surface cooking results, it is recom-
mended to only use high quality heavy gauge cookware on
the induction cooking zones. Be sure to follow all the manu-
facturer’s recommendations when using cookware made for
induction cooking.
Induction Cookware Types
The most common induction cookware types available are:
Stainless steel - Generally excellent for induction
cooking. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast iron - Good for induction cooking. Cooks evenly.
Do not slide cast iron cookware on cooktop. Cast iron
cookware with a rough surface will scratch ceramic
cooktop.
Porcelain-enamel coated metals - Heating characteris-
tics will vary depending on quality of base material.
Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid
scratching the ceramic cooktop.
Figure 1: Typical induction cooktop
Before using the induction cooking zones, be sure to
carefully read and follow these cookware recommenda-
tions and the instructions in the pan sensing section.
Figure 2: Testing a pan for magnetic properties
Not all stainless steel cookware is magnetic; stainless
steel is not always suitable for induction cooking.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Tips For Using the Cooking Zones
Be sure to use cooktop cookware made with a magnetic
base material.
Use quality cooktop cookware with heavier bottoms for
better heat distribution, allowing for more even cooking
results.
Check that cookware bottom rests level on cooktop
surface. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire induction cooking zone
area. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Figure 3).
Be sure cookware is properly balanced and does not tilt
from a heavy handle.
Be sure that the pan size matches the amount of food to
be prepared. The size and type of cookware used will
influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Never let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent
damage such as breakage, fusion, or marring that can
affect the cooktop.
Use cookware that meets the minimum and maximum
cookware size requirements for each cooking zone.
Moving Cookware on a Smoothtop
It is recommended to always use heavier gauge high quality
cookware on the cooking zones. Even high quality
cookware can still scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide
cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Sliding any type of cookware over the surface will scratch
the cooktop over time. Scratches will make cleaning the
ceramic cooktop difficult and degrade the appearance of
the cooktop.
See “Care and Cleaning” beginning on page 37 for more
detailed information about the cooktop.
Figure 3: Checking the pan for flatness
Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic
glass smoothtop.
Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms can
mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface. Always
start with clean cookware.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Pan Sensing
The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop
surface require that certain cookware conditions are met
before the induction cooking zones can operate.
The cooking zone display windows may display a pan
sensing error message. If a cooking zone is activated and
no cookware is detected, the affected induction cooking
zone display window will flash with the last power level
request setting (Figure 5). If the cookware does not meet
the correct conditions, the cooking zones may not heat.
A flashing error message as illustrated in Figure 5 can be
generated by those conditions. Use Figure 6 as a guide to
help to correct the problem or problems before attempting
to reactivate any of the cooking zones.
If the problem or problems are not corrected, the affected
cooking zone will automatically deactivate after 3 minutes.
Figure 5: Power boost power level setting
It is recommended that you lower the requested power
level setting before correcting the pan sensing message.
NOTE

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Minimum and Maximum Pan Size
Induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in
order to activate. The graphics on each cooking zone
location are your guide to the correct minimum pan size for
that zone.The shorter lines guide the minimum pan
size.The longer lines guide the maximum pan size. The
cookware bottom must meet the minimum and maximum
area requirements for the heating process to begin. See
Figure 7 below for the pan size requirements for each
cooking zone location.
If a pan that is induction-capable is centered properly but is
too small, the affected cooking zone display will flash the
last power level setting and the pan will not heat. Select a
larger pan that meets the minimum size requirement to
activate the selected cooking zone.
Do not use pans with bottoms that extend more than 1/2”
(13mm) beyond any of the longer line marks provided on
the cooktop. The cookware must make full contact with the
ceramic glass surface. Cookware should not rest on or
touch the metal edges of the cooktop.
The type and size of cookware, cooking duration, number of
cooking zones in use and their power level settings are all
factors that affect the amount of heat that will spread
beyond the cooking zones. Induction cooking zones and
areas surrounding the cooking zones may become hot
enough to cause burns. Be sure to read all cautions.
Hot Cookware and Residual Heat
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe the following points when
home canning with your appliance.
Check with the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) website. Be sure to read all the available informa-
tion as well as follow the recommendations for home
canning procedures.
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a range with a ceramic glass cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the cooking zone markings. It is recom-
mended to use smaller diameter canners on ranges
with ceramic glass or open coil electric cooktops.
Start with hot tap water to boil more quickly. Use the
highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a
boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high
heat for extended amounts of time.
Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to
avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

Unlike radiant surface elements, induction cooking zones
do not glow red when hot. 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 oven mitts or potholders
to protect hands from burns.
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to prevent burns. Raise the lid to vent
steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful
micro-organisms are destroyed and jars seal completely.
When canning in a water bath canner, continuously
maintain a gentle but steady boil for the required time.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Cooktop Display Windows
The range backguard provides a digital window for each
cooking zone on the cooktop. Power levels and messages
are monitored and controlled using the window displays in
combination with the corresponding control knobs.
Available Power Level Settings
The cooktop control (Figure 8) displays power levels
ranging from Lo to Hi to Pb (Figure 9) in a display window
located above each control dial. The settings range is
between 1.5 and 9.5 (Figure 10), adjustable in 0.5 incre-
ments.
Use the suggested cooking zone power level settings table”
on page 13 to determine the correct power level setting for
the type of food you are preparing.
Power Boost (Pb) Power Level
When setting an induction cooking zone for Hi, the display
will initially show Pb power level for up to 10 minutes
(Figure 9). After 10 minutes the cooking zone will automati-
cally return to the Hi setting. The Pb setting is only available
immediately after activating a cooking zone by turning the
knob to Hi.
Hot Element (HE) Surface Window Message
When using a cooking zone, the cooktop may become very
hot. After turning any cooking zone off, the cooktop may
remain hot for some time. The corresponding HE
(Figure 11) message displays until the cooktop has cooled.
ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will display flashing Er (Figure 12) at
power up or after a power failure for any surface control
knob not in the OFF position. If a power failure should
occur, set all surface control knobs to OFF (Figure 8). This
will reset the surface controls.
Also, reset the clock (page 20). Once the surface controls
have been set to off and the clock has been set with the
correct time of day, the surface controls should return to
normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and
the Er message remains in any display after following these
procedures, contact an authorized service provider for
assistance.
Lockout Window Message
The (- -) message appears whenever Lockout, self clean, or
Sabbath is active (Figure 13). See “Setting Oven Lockout
Feature” on page 22 for more details.

Operating Induction Cooking Zones
Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then
adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The suggested settings provided in the table below may
vary slightly, depending on the cookware design, quality
and amount of food being prepared.
Be sure to use quality cookware that is constructed with
magnetic base material and meets the minimum and
maximum pan size requirements.
Pan Preheat Recommendations
Be aware that induction cooking may decrease the amount
of time required to preheat a cooking utensil compared to
cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface
burner.
Whenever using the cooktop or oven always pay close
attention to all food items cooking and remain very attentive
until all the cooking processes are complete.
To operate induction cooking zones:
1. Place induction cookware on the desired cooking zone.
2. To activate a cooking zone, push in and turn the control

Cooktop Operational Noises
The electronic processes involved with induction cooking
may create some background noises. You may hear a slight
“buzzing” sound when cooking on the cooktop.
These noises are part of the induction cooking process are
considered normal.
Some cookware will “buzz” depending on the construction
or base material. The buzz may be more noticeable if the
contents of the pan are cold. As the pan heats up, the noise
will decrease. The noise will also decrease if the power
level setting is reduced.

The suggested power level settings are based on
cooking with medium sized pans with lids. Be sure to
make any further setting adjustments needed for best
surface cooking results.
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
NOTE
Remember that induction surface cooking will initially
heat the cooking utensil very quickly.
When using the induction cooktop, operational noises are
more noticeable while cooking at the power boost level.
Very loud noises are not part of normal induction cooking.

Warmer Zone
The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep foods (vegeta-
bles, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries
and oven-safe dinner plates) at serving temperature
(Figure 14).
For best results:
When warming pastries or breads, the cover should
have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt
onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recom-
mended for oven and cooktop use.
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for more than
1 hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food
poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the
refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand
in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins
and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.
Figure 14: Warmer zone cooktop location
Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the
warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should
be covered with a lid to maintain quality.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Unlike radiant surface elements, induction cooking
zones will not glow red when they are hot. 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 oven mitts or pot holders to
protect hands from burns.
The cooking zones may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. The glass surface may still
be hot from residual heat and burns may occur if the
cooktop is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite if placed too close to hot cookware.
The hot element (HE) message will appear in the
display windows once a heating element or cooking
zone is turned off and will remain on until the heating
surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop.
If these items melt on the cooktop they may damage
the ceramic cooktop.
If the cookware is moved from the center of any active
induction cooking zone, the pan sensor will detect the
situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The
affected cooking zone display window will flash until
the cookware is moved back to center of cooking
zone.
If the cookware is placed back properly centered on
the cooking zone, the zone will resume heating. The
cooking zone will remember the power level setting
for up to 3 minutes before the cooking zone will auto-
matically shut off.

will be hot.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range when it is in use. These items
could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden
spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the
surface elements.

Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the
oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting
is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Do not block the oven vent.
Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is
normal.
Types of Oven Racks
Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be
used for most cooking needs and may be placed in
most oven rack positions.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design.
The offset design positions the base of the rack about a
half rack position lower than the flat rack and may be
used in most oven rack positions.
The bottom oven rack (some models) allows you to
maximize oven cooking space by using the lowest rack
position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.
The “Effortless™ Oven Rack System” (some models) is
described on page 17.
Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Racks
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack
slightly and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on
both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack
upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place.
Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Completely remove all oven racks and any cooking
accessories from the oven before performing a self clean
function in order to avoid damage to the racks. If oven
racks are not removed before a self clean, they will lose
their special coating and will no longer slide in and out of
the oven cavity effortlessly.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.Remove all racks and accessories prior to starting
a self clean cycle.

Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
When using any single rack, position the rack so that
the food is in the center of the oven.
For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 25).
When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
as shown in Figure 26.
Allow at least 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) space between
cookware for proper air circulation. Set one position
lower if using offset racks.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase cook
time.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks and

Convection Cooking
Convection baking uses the three elements and a fan to
circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven
(Figure 27). The improved heat distribution allows for even
cooking with excellent results. Multiple rack baking may
slightly increase cook time for some foods, but the overall
result is time saved. Some food may cook faster and more
evenly with convection bake.
Benefits of convection cooking:
Multiple rack baking.
Some foods cook faster, saving time and energy.
No special pans or bakeware needed.
Setting Convection Bake
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results
when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can be
programmed for convection baking at any temperature
between 170°F to 550°F (77ºC to 288ºC) with a default
temperature of 350°F (177ºC).
To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to
375°F (190ºC):
1. Arrange the interior oven racks.
2. Press convect. Convect and bake will flash and the
default temperature of 350º will appear in the display.
3. Press 3 7 5. convect and bake will keep flashing, and

4. Press start. The actual oven temperature and the fan
icon will be displayed. A beep will sound once the oven
temperature reaches 375°F. The display will show 375°,
CONVECT, BAKE, and the fan icon.
5. Place food in the oven.
Convection baking tips:
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads. Use convection baking for
best results.
When using any single rack, position the rack so that
the food is in the center of the oven. When baking using
two oven racks, position cookware as shown in
Figure 29. Allow at least 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm)
space between cookware for proper air circulation.
For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 28).
Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no (or very low)
sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. You may reduce oven temperature and cook
time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark
bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce
oven temperature and may increase cooking time.

Setting Broil
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The
broil pan and insert used together allow grease to drain
away from the high heat of the oven broiler.
Note: If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied, they may
be purchased online from http://www.frigidaire.com. An
optional searing grill is also available.
To set broil at 500°F (260ºC):
1. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan
on the rack. Center the broiler pan directly under the
broiler element and close the oven door.
2. Press broil. 5 5 0º will appear in the display. If a lower
temperature is desired, press the desired temperature
before continuing. The minimum broil temperature
setting is 400°F(204ºC).
3. Press start. The oven will begin to broil. 5 0 0º will
appear in the display. Broil with the oven door closed.
4. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on
the second side. Pull the rack out to the stop position
before turning or removing food.
5. To stop or cancel the broil function, press off.
Broiling tips:
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce smoke. If
smoke is excessive, place food further away from the
broil element.
Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling. If using a searing
grill, first preheat oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
Should an oven fire occur, keep oven door closed and
turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda
on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or
flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can
cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
Use potholders or oven mitts when using a hot oven.
When broiling, the oven interior, racks and cooktop will
become hot enough to cause burns. Do not use the pan
without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with
aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.

OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Broil
Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, fish, and poultry. The
convection broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in
the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil element and a
fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously
within the oven. The oven can be programmed for convec-
tion broiling at any temperature between 400°F to 550°F
(204ºC to 288ºC) with a default temperature of 550°F
(288ºC). See Table 4.
To set a convection broil temperature of 500°F (260ºC):
1. Arrange oven racks first. Press convect; 350º will be
displayed, and convect and bake will flash.
2. Press convect two more times; 550º will be displayed
and convect and broil will flash.
3. Press 5 0 0.
4. Press start. CONVECT, BROIL, 500º, and the fan icon
will be displayed.
5. After 5 minutes of preheat, place food in the oven.
Convection broiling tips:
For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5
minutes.
Always pull the rack out to the stop position before
turning or removing food.
Always use a broiler pan and insert when broiling. It
keeps grease away from the high heat of the broil
element.
Do not use a broil pan without the insert. Do not cover
an insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
If using a searing grill (available by mail order), preheat
the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing your meat.
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Season and serve.
Convection broiling is generally faster than conventional
broiling. Check for doneness at the minimum recom-
mended time.
Setting Convection Roast
This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb,
pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is
desired. Convection roasting gently browns the exterior and
seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the bake
element, convection element, broil element, and fan to
circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
The oven can be programmed for convection roasting at
any temperature between 170°F to 550°F (77ºC to 288ºC)
with a default temperature of 350°F (177ºC).
To set a convection roast temperature of 375°F:
1. Arrange oven racks and place food in the oven.
2. Press convect; 350º will be displayed; Convect and
bake will flash.
3. Press convect again. 350º will be displayed, and
convect and roast will flash.
4. Enter 3 7 5 using the number keys.
5. Press start; The actual oven temperature will be
displayed. Convect, roast, and the fan icon will be
displayed. The bake, broil, and convection elements will
also cycle for a better heat distribution.
Convection roasting tips:
Use a broiler pan and insert, as well as a roasting rack
(available online from http://www.frigidaire.com). The
broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the insert
will help prevent spatters. The roasting rack will hold the
meat.
It’s not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting
rack. Use a deep pan instead.
Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the
insert in the broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan
without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum foil.
Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing
food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
The preheat tone will not sound for this feature.
CAUTION
NOTE
Should an oven fire occur, close oven door and turn off
the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the
fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

Cooking with Meat Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking
foods such as roasts, hams or poultry.
For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check
internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly
cooked food.
When set correctly, the probe feature will signal an alert
when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set
target temperature.
When active, the probe displays the internal food tempera-
ture which is visible in the display during the cooking
process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to
open the oven door to check the thermometer.
To properly place the probe:
Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the
center of the thickest part of meat or food (Figure 32).
For best results, do not allow the probe temperature
sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the
center of lowest large muscle or joint. For meat loaf or
casseroles, insert the probe into center of food. When
cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor
into the thickest part of the breast (Figure 33).
Figure 31: Using the probe
Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable
or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using
the provided handles, as shown in Figure 31.
To avoid the possibility of burns after cooking with the
probe, use care when disconnecting the probe from
the receptacle or food. The probe may be hot. Be
sure to always use a pot holder to protect your hands.
Before starting self clean, verify that the probe is
removed from the oven interior. The high tempera-
tures during self clean may damage or destroy the
probe.
To avoid damaging the probe, defrost frozen foods
completely before inserting.

side of the oven out of the way of escaping vapor when
opening the oven door. The cycle includes a cool-down
period, so you may immediately use a soft cloth or
sponge to remove any remaining water.
9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door
gasket (Figure 38).
For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is
complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven
bottom. Removal of especially stubborn or baked-on soils
may require a manual cleaning. See “Cleaning Various
Parts of Your Oven” on page 37.
Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the
oven vent. This is normal. The oven gasket may become
damp; do not wipe dry. Open door about 10º and allow to air
dry.
Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water)
and will leave deposits on the oven cavity. If this occurs,
wipe cavity with vinegar or lemon juice. Use distilled or
filtered water.
If the door is opened during the steam clean cycle, a beep
will sound and d-0 will show in the display. Close the oven
door. Keep oven door closed during steam clean cycle.
Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delay start. If
steam clean results are not satisfactory, run a self clean.
See “Self Cleaning Operation”on page 35.
Do not add ammonia, oven cleaners, or any other
household cleaners or chemicals to the water used in the
steam clean cycle.
Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure
all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven
may be hot and can cause burns.

OVEN CONTROLS
Self Cleaning Operation
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
that are well above normal cooking temperatures. These
temperatures eliminate soils completely or reduce them to a
fine powdered ash that can be wiped away with a damp
cloth.
What to Expect During Self Clean
When the oven is set to run a self clean cycle, the motor
door lock will begin locking the oven door. Do not open the
oven door while the lock motor is running or when any
locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is
completely locked in about 15 seconds.
While in self clean mode, the oven heats to temperatures
much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of
metal expansion and contraction are normal.
Odors are normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke
may appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spills are not wiped up before cleaning, they may
flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is
normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available,
use an exhaust fan during the self cleaning cycle.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Completely remove all oven racks and any cooking
accessories from the oven to avoid damage to the
racks. If oven racks are not removed before a self
clean, they will lose their special coating and will no
longer slide in and out of the oven cavity effortlessly.
Remove all items from the oven and cooktop
including cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil.
Aluminum foil will not withstand the high self clean
temperatures.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other
parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will
alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results
and may cause permanent damage to the oven
interior. During self clean temperatures the oven will
be hot enough to melt foil.
Do not spray oven cleaners or protective coatings in
or around any part of the oven interior.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, door liner outside
the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front
center of the oven bottom with soap and water. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on.
Remove any excessive spills from the oven cavity
before starting the self cleaning cycle. To clean, use
hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause
heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high tempera-
tures.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie
filling, etc.) to remain on surfaces. They may leave a
dull spot even after cleaning.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. Take care not to
rub, damage, or remove the gasket or use any
cleaning substances on the oven door gasket
(Figure 38). Doing so could cause damage and
reduce the efficiency of the oven’s performance.
IMPORTANT
Do not leave small children unattended near the
appliance. During self clean, the range may become
very hot to the touch.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned off. The
elements may still be hot and burns may occur if
these elements are touched before they have cooled.
Use caution when opening the door after the self
cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be
very hot. Stand to the side of the oven door when
opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
Do not force the oven door open when self clean is
active. This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use caution when opening the door after self
clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very
hot.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self cleaning cycle of any
oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
CAUTION

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. Remove spills and any
heavy soiling as soon as possible.
Surface Type Recommendation
Painted and plastic control knobs
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
Aluminum, Plastic, and Vinyl trim
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and
built-up grease, apply liquid detergent directly onto soil and let soak for 30-60
minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on these
surfaces; they can scratch.
Control panel
Control keypad membrane
Control panel trim
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off, activate control lock (some
models) and if needed remove knobs from panel (some models). Do not use
abrasive cleaners on controls or trim; they can scratch.
Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Be sure to squeeze excess

CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of
the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new
appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or cleaning pad.
This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking.
The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective
finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding metal pans on the cooktop can cause metal
markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be
removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using
the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become
permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or ceramic-coated)
with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop
surface.
Do not:
slide anything across the cooktop (Figure 39).
use cookware with dirt or dirt build-up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.
use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop; they may cause it to crack.
Cooktop Cleaning
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly
to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive
plastic type cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop
surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,
leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly
to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
plastic type cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do
not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the
surface (Figure 40). Remove loosened soils with cooktop
cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled
or melted onto the cooktop surface. Permanent damage
(such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not
removed immediately.
After turning the surface elements off, use a razor blade
scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil
from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow cooktop to cool,
and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
Before manually cleaning any part of the appliance, be
sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool.
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining
your ceramic glass cooktop.
Figure 39: Do not slide pan
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to off and the cooktop is cool.

CARE AND CLEANING
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
Protective liners—Do not use oven bottom liners or use
aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Do not use aluminum
foil to line the oven bottom, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electrical shock, or fire. Using a foil liner in the oven
restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best
possible cooking results.
During self clean the oven temperature can become hot
enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum foil
if left in the oven. This could result in permanent damage to
the oven interior and porcelain finish.
Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan
with aluminum foil. Do not cover the insert with foil. To
prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from
the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease.
Soak the pan in hot, soapy water. Clean the broiler pan as
soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-
filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the
insert.
Replacing the Oven Light
The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven
cavity and are protected by glass shields. The shields must
be in place whenever the oven is in use (See Figure 42).
Replacing the oven interior light bulb:
1. Disconnect electrical power at the main source or
unplug the appliance.
2. Remove any/all oven racks that hinder access to the
oven lights.
3. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter
turn.
4. Pull the bulb straight out.
5. Replace defective bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25
watt appliance bulb.
6. Reinstall the oven light shield.
7. Reconnect power at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in).
8. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The
fumes can be hazardous to your health and can
chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,
such as metal and some nylon pads. They may
scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or
discolor the cooktop.
Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as
they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can
burn and cause discoloration.
Figure 41: Broil pan and insert
WARNING
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool
before replacing an oven light.
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingertips when
replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb. Use a
paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb.
