FEATURE GUIDE

COOKTOP USE

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 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 “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 Performance Boost function when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Select the desired surface cooking area, and then press BOOST to immediately reach the highest setting.

NOTE: Where 240 V installation is not available, this cooktop will automatically adjust to 208 V operation.

To Use:

To Turn On the Cooktop:

1. Press POWER.

The indicator light above the Power keypad and a dash (“-”) in each surface cooking area will light to indicate that each surface cooking area is ready to be activated.

Inactivity for 60 seconds after the main power has been turned on will automatically turn off the power to the cooktop.

If a cooking function or the power slider is touched without first selecting a surface cooking area, all dashes (one for each zone) will flash and an invalid tone will sound 4 times.

To Turn On a Surface Cooking Area:

2. Touch directly on the display area for the surface cooking area you want to use. See D, E, I, and J of previous illustration.

The current power level and indicator light will flash for 10 seconds and then remain on.

Touching any other feature or the power slider stops the flashing and information for the keypad that was touched will be displayed.

When a surface cooking area is left at the “0” power level for 30 seconds, the surface cooking area will automatically turn off and display only the middle dash without the indicator light.

3. Select a heat setting from “1” through “9” by touching/sliding on the power slider. The heat setting will appear in the surface cooking area display.

The power slider consists of 9 positions plus a “Boost” position. When the user slides to “0,” “0” will be displayed. The surface cooking area will not turn on but remains active/ selected.

When a surface cooking area is left at the “0” power level for 30 seconds, the zone will automatically turn off and display only the middle dash without the indicator light.

IMPORTANT: The heat setting for an active cooking area may be adjusted by a 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 if the cooking area is turned off.

■ Invalid keypad press

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.

■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2" (1.3 cm) outside the area. Minimum pan size is also noted on the cooktop with the inner ring, if applicable.

■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

■ Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

■ To determine which pan to use on which induction element, measure the bottom of the flat area of your pan. Do not include the sides if they curve up. Use this measurement to help determine which induction element would best fit your pan. Manufacturer measurements listed on pans are usually for the top opening dimension. The flat bottom may be smaller.

■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

Cookware

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 Use” section before using the cooktop.

Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking.

Ferromagnetic Materials Include:

■ Enameled steel

■ Cast iron

■ Stainless steel designed for induction cooking

Non-Ferromagnetic Materials Include:

These types of pans will not work with induction cooking.

■ Stainless steel

■ Glass

■ Ceramic

■ Copper or aluminum pans

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, if the pan is not made of the right material, or if 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.

Home Canning

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.

■ Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1 /2" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.

■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

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.

Baking and Roasting

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 1 1/2 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.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Leave the desired oven door open 4 1 /2" (114 mm) at the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

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. 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.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See the “Accessories” section.

EasyConvect™ Conversion

Convection cooking temperatures and times can differ from those of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected category, EasyConvect™ Conversion automatically reduces the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking,

Foods are grouped into 3 general categories. Choose the category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. Use the following chart as a guide.

To Use:

NOTE: For best results, preheat your oven to the desired temperature prior to using EasyConvect™ Conversion. After preheating is complete, press OFF LOWER before using EasyConvect™ Conversion.

RANGE CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.

Prepare Range:

■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks and aluminum foil, and on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

■ Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 11 /2" (38 mm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.

■ Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

■ Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.

NOTE: The cooktop burners will not function during the SelfCleaning cycle.

IMPORTANT:

■ Oven temperature must be below 500°F (260°C) to program a clean cycle.

■ Only 1 oven can be cleaned at a time.

■ Both oven doors will lock when either oven is running the SelfCleaning cycle.

How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping sounds.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

The oven light is disabled during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at anytime, press OFF UPPER or OFF LOWER. If the temperature is too high, the oven doors will remain locked.

When “LOCK” shows in the display, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when “LOCK” is displayed.

Before self-cleaning, make sure the doors are completely closed or the doors will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.

NOTE: Only one oven can use the Self-Cleaning cycle at a time and 12 hours must pass before the next Self-Cleaning cycle can begin.

The oven is preset for a 3-hour clean cycle; however, the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and between 3 hours and 4 hours for average to heavy soil.

Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired cleaning level.

To Self-Clean:

1. Close the oven doors, and then press SELF CLEAN.

2. Press the number “1” or “2” keypad to select the desired oven to clean.

3. Choose the clean level desired by pressing the appropriate number keypad.

4. Press START. The oven doors will automatically lock. When the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools, the oven doors will unlock.

5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.

To Delay Start Self-Clean:

1. Close the oven doors, and then press DELAY START.

2. Press the number “1” or “2” keypad to select the desired oven.

3. Press the number keypads to enter the desired amount of time by which you want to delay the start.

4. Press SELF CLEAN.

5. Choose the clean level desired by pressing the appropriate number keypad.

6. Press START. The oven doors will automatically lock after the Delay Start countdown. When the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools, the oven doors will unlock.

7. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.

General Cleaning

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

■ Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.

■ affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the “Accessories” section for more information.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)

NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use

Cleaning Method:

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

■ affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016 (not included): See the “Accessories” section for more information.

METALLIC PAINT (on some models)

Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust removers, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide (lye) because paint surface may stain.

CERAMIC GLASS

Cleaning Method:

To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.

■ For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the warm cooktop.

■ Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue.

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.

■ Rub affresh® Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.

■ Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3.

3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.

■ Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or burned-on stains.
