USING THE RANGE

Surface Units

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.

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.

A surface ON indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on

At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is maintaining your desired setting. Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

Melt setting (on some models) will melt chocolate or butter.

Dual and Triple Surface Units and Control Knobs (on some models)

The surface unit has 2 or 3 cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware you are using.

Using the Warming Zone (on some models)

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.

Turn the control knob to the ON position.

For models using the touch pads for warming zone control. see section on "Using the Oven" for additional details.

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 like the cooking elements.

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.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil.

For Models With a Radiant Glass Cooktop

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.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

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.

• 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 film.
• 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.

Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops

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 surface 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.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops. NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Recommended

Stainless Steel 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: 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.

Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron: recommended if bottom of pan is coated

Avoid/Not Recommended

Enamel (painted) on Steel: Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic: Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stoneware: Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron: not recommended - unless designed specifically for glass cooktops. Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.

For Best Results

• Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements. particularly wet lids. Wet pans and lids may stick to the surface when cool.
• Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on glass surface elements.
• We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface element to ensure proper contact.
• Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size.

Oven Racks/Aluminum Foil/Oven Cookware

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 traditional flat racks.

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

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION: Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt. resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock. smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

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.

Oven Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

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

Dark, coated dull pans absorb heat mode 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 25º 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.

Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.

Cookware used in broil modes and air fry must be broilsafe.

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 rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Baking and Roasting Modes - Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the type and quantity of food you are preparing. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided, center food in the oven.

Traditional Bake - The Bake mode is for baking and roasting. 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, and then press Start.

Convection Bake - 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 time might be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Convection Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start.

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. To use this mode press the Convection Roast pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start.

Air Fry - Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode is intended for single rack cooking only. Select Air Fry, then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F. Preheating is not recommended for this mode. Follow traditional oven recipe or package guidelines for set temperatures and cook times; adjust cook time to achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines for using this mode can be found in the Cooking Guide.

Broiling Modes - Always broil with the oven door closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling; placing food closer to the broil element 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 element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would like to have a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start.

Broil Lo - The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface. Use Broil Lo 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.

Warm - Warm modes are designed to keep hot. cooked foods hot. Cover foods that should 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. To use this mode. press the Warm pad then press Start. The control display will show the oven is set to Bake at 170F.

CARE AND CLEANING

Oven Cooking Guide

*When baking four cake layers at a time with traditional bake, use racks 2 and 4.

*When baking four cake layers at a time with convection bake, use racks 2 and 4.

Cook food thoroughly to help protect against food borne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations for food safety can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov. Make sure to use a food thermometer to take food temperatures.

Air Fry Cooking Guide

Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. Select Air Fry, then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F.

Air Fry Cookware Guidelines

• Only use broil safe cookware when using Air Fry mode.
• A dark sheet pan is recommended. A dark pan promotes better browning and crisping.
• Oven baking baskets and baking grids can also be used. A sheet pan should be placed on the rack below the foods to catch any drippings when using a baking basket.

General Tips for Air Fry Mode

• The Air Fry mode is designed for cooking on a single rack.
• The Air Fry mode is designed to be used without preheating.
• rack position 4 is recommended for most foods. Use rack position 3 for thicker foods.
• Foods may cook faster than expected if the oven is already hot when food is placed in the oven.
• When air frying foods with sauce, it is recommended to apply the sauce at the end of cooking.
• If foods are browning too quickly, try a lower rack position or lower oven set temperature.
• For packaged foods, use traditional oven cooking instructions for set temperature and expected cook time.
• It is not necessary to flip or stir food during cooking
• Arrange food in a single layer on the pan, do not overload the pan.
• Always check internal food temperature to confirm minimum safe temperatures have been reached. Minimum safe food temperatures can be found on packages and at IsItDoneYet.gov.

Cleaning the Range – Exterior

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be washed with soap and water. Make sure the inside of the knobs are dry before replacing. Replace the knobs, in the OFF position to ensure proper

Control Lockout

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this manual. Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.

You may also use a glass cleaner. Remove heavier soil with warm, soap water. Do not use abrasives of any kind. Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning

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, Black Stainless Steel, and Fingerprint Resistant 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 paintedvsurface, including Black Stainless Steel.

Stainless Steel - Excluding Black Stainless Steel

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. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.

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.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop Frame

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

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

liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders 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

Steam Clean Mode

Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean.

To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of the oven. Close the door.

Press the Steam Clean pad and then press Start. You can not open the door during the 30 minute steam clean as this will decrease the steam clean performance. Wipe out any excess water and any remaining soil.

Self Clean Mode

Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode. Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks, the meat probe, and any cookware or other items should all be removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close the door.

Press the Self Clean pad and a default self-clean time is displayed. The clean time can be changed to any time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours by using the number pads to enter a different time and pressing Start. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press the Start pad immediately after pressing the Self Clean pad. The oven will turn off automatically when the selfclean cycle is complete. The door will stay locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.

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

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.

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

Do not turn on self clean while cooktop is on. Self Clean will be cancelled within 15 seconds if the cooktop is turned on.

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.

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 boil 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

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 a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Regular use of ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse

Burned-On Residue

NOTE: DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you use scrub pads other than those recommended.

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area.
3. Using a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub the residue area, applying pressure as needed.
4. If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above as needed.
5. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

Heavy, Burned-On Residue

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the soil It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor scraper in order to remove the residue.
3. After scraping with the razor scraper. spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area. Use a non-scratch cleaning pad to remove any remaining residue.
4. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with ceramiccooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

The ceramic cooktop scraper and all recommended supplies are available through our Parts Center. See the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

NOTE: Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Metal Marks and Scratches

1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks are removable using the ceramic cooktop cleaner with a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.
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.

NOTE: 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.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface. Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances.

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.
