Before Setting Oven Controls (cont'd)
Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 as shown (for models with a
visible bake element). For models with a hidden bake element place oven racks in positions 3 (Flat rack) &6 with the Offset rack
if equipped (Refer to Fig. 1). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack position 4 (for all models
- Refer to Fig. 2).
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking
results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper air circulation
and be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides
or back of the oven cavity. The hot air
must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for
even heat to reach around the food.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the
element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-
bottomed cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will affect the
amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become
hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly.
As the temperature rises, the element will glow red.
To maintain the selected setting, the element will
cycle on and off. The heating element retains
enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent
heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn off the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before
You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware
is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
ELEMENT ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
Your range is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that
will glow on your range-- the ELEMENT ON indicator light and the Hot Surface indicator
lights (See illustration at left).
The ELEMENT ON located on the control panel and will glow when a surface element is turned
ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL
surface controls are turned OFF.
The Hot Surface indicator lights located above each surface radiant control knob will
glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has
cooled to a MODERATE level.
