IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
_Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so
it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils wilt expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan
of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner
off before removing the pan.
•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it isturned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spiltovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to sudden
change in temperatures. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The Searing Grill is
not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result ina
fire.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--
Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot
oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is
located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this
area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns.
Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near
the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hotuse extreme caution. Use pothotders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When

Surface Cooking
FEATURE OVERVIEW
Setting Proper Flame Size
Using the Wok Stand
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one tocomplete the process. Use the recommendations below as a
guide for determining proper flame size for various types ofcooking. The size
and type of utensil used and the amount offood being cooked will influence the
setting needed.
Co_e_
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
Incorrect
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned
by the gas flame.
For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If
the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
wilt neither brown nor cook properly.
*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum
pans, Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color ofthe
flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and
hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and
sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Using the Wok Stand
The Wok Stand provided with your range is designed to allow round-bottomed
woks to be used. It is recommended that you use a 14 inch maximum
diameter (35.5 cm) Wok. The Wok Stand MUST be used on either the right or
left FRONT burner positions. Cooking with a Wok using the Wok Stand on the
rear burner positions may damage the control panel of the range. And it is
recommended that you use the right front POWER burner for best
performance. If properly positioned, the Wok Stand will not slide off the grate.
To Properly Position the Wok Stand:
With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the
grate positioningthe angled notch in the Wok Stand towards the rear of the
range (See Fig 1). Turn the Wok Stand, as shown, untilthe grate fingers fit into
the slots on the bottom of the stand (See Fig. 2).
Always use potholders to
remove the wok stand from the grate.
Allow the wok stand to cool before
removing. Do not set hot wok stand on
surfaces that cannot withstand high
heat; such as countertops.
Be sure the Wok Stand
is positioned correctly and stable before
use to prevent hot spills and possible
burns.

Setting Convection Bake
Benefits of Convection Bake:
--Some foods cook up to 30% faster,
saving time and energy.
--Multiple rack baking.
--No special pans or bakeware needed.
The CONVECTION BAKE _ pad controls the Convection Bake feature.
Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven
can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300 ° F
(149 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking
results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown
more evenly. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more
evenly with Convection Bake.

General Convection Bake Instructions
1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as shown in the Cooking Tables on page 38.
Adjust the cook time for desired aloneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of
food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to #_
circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster. _'_
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake. _
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place
the oven racks in positions 1,3 and 5 (for 3 racks) and positions 2 and 4 (for 2 racks; See Fig. 2).
4. Cakes have better results when baked with the Cake pad in the Food Categories feature.

Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle
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.
Fig. 1
Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle:
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminates soil
completely or reduce itto a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
These temperatures are well ABOVE normal cookingtemperatures.
1.
2.
3.
4.
.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to coot before pre-cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after the
Self-Clean cycle.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of
the Self-Cleaning oven interior.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
remove the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could
cause damage.
Remove the Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Broiler Pan Insert, all utensils and
any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the
range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil wilt melt to
the interior surface of the oven).
The porcelain oven racks can remain in the oven during the Self-Clean cycle. If they
do go through the Self-Clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then remove the
racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of
vegetable oil (this will make the racks glide easier back into their positions).
Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the Self-Cleaning
cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spiltovers can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and
the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently
to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
If at any time when setting the oven for Self-Cleaning, the oven control continuously
beeps and the display shows "dr"; close the oven door (See Fig. 1).
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven bottom
should be removed.

Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) to the
ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or 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 aluminum or copper clad bottom 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 glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide
anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop,
they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

_'l,','l.'l.'h'll_[L'l 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.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTopO Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue
Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,
leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply afew drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a 3M Scotch-Bdte®
Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the
cooktop for any other purpose.
If soil remain, carefully scrape soil with a metal razor blade scraper,
holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove
loosened soil with cooktop cleaning cream and buffthe cooktop
surface clean.
