Surface Temperatures
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such as the knobs and oven door.
Baking Drawer When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the drawer.
Oven Vent The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.
1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.
2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of affresh® Cooktop Cleaner to the affected areas.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.

Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is quite different from traditional forms of cooking. The heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping the cooking surface cooler than with a traditional element.
Induction cooking does not lose as much heat as traditional forms because all the heat is created in the pan itself.
The cooktop heats up or cools down quickly after the controls are set. It also stops heating when the pan is removed without turning off the power.
Food spilled on the cooktop surface will not burn because the glass is not heated. Induction cooking allows for immediate cleaning after use because the heat is created in the pan.
Pan size, material (see the “Cookware” section), and positioning are very important to achieve maximum wattage.
The diameter of the pan’s base should be equal to the size of the element.
If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan and will not activate.
Cooktop Controls
The touch-activated electronic controls offer a variety of heat settings for optimal cooking results. When melting foods, such as chocolate or butter, the surface cooking area can be set to the Melt function for minimal surface cooking area operation.
For maximum surface cooking area operation, all cooktop touchactivated electronic controls can be set to the Performance Boost function when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Select the desired surface cooking area, and then press “Boost” on the heat level slider to immediately reach the highest setting. NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will automatically adjust to 208V operation.
To Turn On the Cooktop:
To Turn On a Surface Cooking Area:
IMPORTANT: The heat setting for an active cooking area may be adjusted by hand or cooking utensil above the heat level slider even if there is no contact with the cooktop glass. A beep will sound only if the slider moves to “0” or “Boost” or the cooking area is turned off.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Touching the TIMER “+” or “-” keypad will turn the cooktop timer on. “01” appears in the cooktop timer display, and then the cooktop timer can be set if desired.
To Turn Off:
Hot Surface Indicator - If the cooktop power indicator light is ON, an “H” and a “0” will flash in the heat setting display of the cooking surface area that is too hot to touch. If the cooktop power indicator light is OFF, an “H” will appear in the heat setting display of the cooking surface area that is too hot to touch.
If the cooktop is ON when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface indicator “H” will remain ON up to 45 minutes after the power is restored to the cooktop.
Simmer
The Simmer function can be used on all surface cooking areas.
To Turn On:
To Turn Off: Touch the surface cooking area Off keypad
Melt
The Melt function can be used with all surface cooking areas.
To Use To Turn On:
To Turn Off: Touch the surface cooking area Off keypad.
Bridge
The Bridge function can be activated when surface cooking areas are ON or OFF. The Bridge function allows you to use 2 cooking zones as an extra-large cooking zone.
To Turn On the Bridge:
To Turn Off the Bridge: Touch BRIDGE. The surface cooking areas will resume operation as 2 separate areas.
Pan Detection
If the system cannot recognize the pan, or if the pan has been removed from the surface cooking area, the “replace pan” animation appears in the cooking area display as a reminder. See the following illustration.
If the pan is not placed within 30 seconds, the element(s) will switch off.
If the cooktop Timer is running when a pan is removed from the selected element, the countdown will continue until the element switches OFF.
Control Lock
The Control Lock avoids unintended use of the surface cooking areas. If Control Lock is activated when power to the cooktop is OFF, the cooktop is locked out and the surface cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop touch controls.
If Control Lock is activated when power to the cooktop is ON, all keypads are locked out except for the Power and Off keypads.
To Lock Cooktop:
Touch and hold the Control Lock keypad for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, a tone will sound and the indicator light above the Control Lock keypad will light, indicating that the cooktop controls are in the lockout position.
If the cooktop is in use when Control Lock is activated, cooking will proceed as normal and any cooktop timers that have been set will continue their countdown.
To Unlock Cooktop: Touch and hold the Control Lock keypad for 3 seconds.
Performance Boost Function
This function allows you to increase the heat setting level above the maximum heat setting “9” for 10 minutes or less.
NOTE: Performance Boost function is available on only 1 surface cooking area at a time within a zone. See the following illustration for zones.
If you attempt to use Performance Boost on more than 1 surface cooking area in the same zone, “P” will briefly flash in the display, and then the first surface cooking area selected for Performance Boost will automatically be set back to the highest available power level. The last surface cooking area selected will be set to Performance Boost.
Timer
Use the cooktop timer to set times from 1 to 90 minutes. The cooktop timer is independent of any other control settings. The timer can be associated with only 1 surface element at a time which is indicated by blinking LEDs. The timer will not shut the surface element off at the end of the countdown.
To Use:
Ceramic Glass
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.
IMPORTANT: This range has induction cooktop elements. Pan size, material, and positioning are very important to achieve the best results. See “Induction Cooking” in the “Cooktop” section before using the cooktop. Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking
Ferromagnetic Materials Include:
Non-Ferromagnetic Materials Include: These types of pans will not work with induction cooking.
To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan, and then see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used for induction cooking.
In addition, many manufacturers are now placing an “induction compatible” symbol on the bottom of their cookware or they will note compatibility on their packaging. See the following symbol.
The number on the surface cooking area heat-setting display will flash if no pan is placed on the surface cooking area, the pan is not made of the right material, or it is not the right size. It will stop flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface cooking area. If you take longer than 30 seconds to place the correct pan on the surface cooking area, the surface cooking area will turn off. If there is no activity for 90 seconds, the cooktop will turn off.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Choose the correct pan size for each surface cooking area. The diameter of the pan’s base should correspond to the size of the surface cooking area.
NOTE: Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter across the top of the pan. This is usually larger than the diameter of the base. Pans with rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.
Canning can be performed on the induction cooktop. See the “Cookware” section to check if the canner will work on the induction cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as guides.
The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following below:
1 Large roasts or poultry
2 Roasted meats
3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen foods
6 Broiled meats, poultry, fish
7 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers, steaks
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21 /2 to 31 /2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling. If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration.
IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.
2-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.
3-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.
Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
Baking Layer Cakes - For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 3, and a roll-out rack in rack position 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3" (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes.
Baking Cookies - For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 3, and a roll-out rack in rack position 4.
The roll-out rack allows easy access to position and remove food in the oven. It is not recommended to use the roll-out rack in the top rack, position 7, or the bottom rack, position 1.
Open Position
Closed and Engaged Position
To Insert Roll-Out Rack
1. Angle the front of the rack assembly up, and then insert the rack frame into the “V” cutout in the rack guides of the oven cavity.
2. Keep rack assembly lifted up at an angle, and then push in to bypass the lower “V” cutout.
3. Lower the front of the rack assembly, and then gently slide rack assembly into oven, bypassing the “V” cutouts. Push the rack assembly into the oven until it stops at the ladder in the back of the oven.
4. Reach through the rack to hold the sliding rack and the front crossbar. Lift the front of the rack assembly, and then push the rack assembly to the back of the oven. Lower the front of the rack assembly so the ladder hook engages with the ladder on both sides of the oven.
To Remove Roll-Out Rack
To avoid damage to the sliding rack, do not place more than 25 lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack. Do not clean the roll-out rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide. See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until turned off. When the Sabbath mode is set, only the Bake cycle will operate. All other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will sound and the displays will not indicate temperature changes. When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately.
To Enable Sabbath Mode Capability (One Time Only):
To Activate Sabbath Mode:
To Adjust Temperature (When Sabbath Mode Is Running):
To Deactivate Sabbath Mode: Press CLOCK/TOOLS, and then press “7” to return to regular baking, or press CANCEL for the desired oven to turn off the range. NOTE: No tones will sound while deactivating Sabbath mode.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress. NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and Bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in, unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Steam Bake
The Steam Bake function works in conjunction with the steam rack to provide additional moisture during baking. The steam rack contains a water reservoir which heats up and releases steam into the oven cavity during the Steam Bake cycle. There are 3 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Breads, Desserts, and Fish as well as a Refresh/Reheat option.
For best performance, place the steam rack in the lowest available rack position in the cavity and pour 11 /2 cups (350 mL) of water into the reservoir. Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on the reservoir.
After the Steam Bake cycle is complete, some water may remain in the reservoir. This is normal. Wait for the oven to cool and discard the water.
When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and convection elements cycle on and off.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard thermal oven. When using Manual Convect modes, reduce the time and temperature when setting the oven. Use the following chart as a guide.
Convection Mode
Convect Options
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and second rise.
To Proof: Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2 and close the oven door. NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 120°F (49°C), “Oven Cooling” will be displayed until the temperature is less than 120°F (49°C).
Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s), and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.
NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the display will indicate “Oven Cooling” until the temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
To Set a Timed Cook:
To Set a Delayed Timed Cook:
The meat probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry, and casseroles with liquid and should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry.
This meat probe operates as an independent device and is not plugged into the oven. Follow the meat probe directions for using the meat probe.
To avoid damage to the meat probe, do not leave the meat probe in self-cleaning ovens while the cycle is running.
The baking drawer is highly recommended for baking frozen foods. Use the temperature and medium cook time given on the frozen food packaging. For example, if the packaging suggests a cook time of 15 to 20 minutes, set the cook time for 17 minutes. Check food for doneness before removing from the baking drawer.
The baking drawer may also be used for conventional baking, slow cooking, and keeping hot cooked foods warm. It is not recommended to prepare foods taller than the height of the baking drawer rack handles or foods that may rise above 21 /2" (6.4 cm) in the baking drawer.
IMPORTANT: Always use the baking drawer rack when using the baking drawer.
To Bake with the Baking Drawer:
To Slow Cook with the Baking Drawer:
IMPORTANT: Brown roasts thoroughly before starting to slow cook.
To Keep Warm with the Baking Drawer: Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed drawer.
The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position. To Replace:
AquaLift® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odorfree alternative to traditional Self-Cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the SelfCleaning cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.
To Clean:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity and wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily removed soils.
2. Pour 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Self-Cleaning cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.
