IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP

Know which knob or key controls each surface

heating area. Place cookware with food on the

cooking area before turning it on. Turn the

cooking area off before removing the cookware.

Cookware handles should be turned inward and

not extend over adjacent surface elements. — To

reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable

materials, and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the

cookware should be positioned so that it is turned

inward, and does not extend over other cooking

areas.

Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of

cookware are suitable for cook top service and

must be magnetic to work properly on the

induction zones. Check the manufacturer’s

recommendations for cook top use to ensure that

the cookware is compatible with induction

cooking.

Improper cookware may break due to sudden

changes in temperature. Check the cookware

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop

use.

Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped

with one or more surface units of different sizes.

Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the

surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on

the cooking area will improve efficiency.

Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-

overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that

may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be

damaged and may damage the cooktop.

When you are flaming foods under a ventilating

hood, turn on the fan.

Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other

flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Do not touch surface burners or elements,

areas near these burners or elements, interior

surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if

equipped). Surface burners and elements may

be hot even though they appear cool. Areas

near surface burners and elements may

become hot enough to cause burns. During and

after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other

flammable materials touch these areas until

they are cool. These areas may include the

cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent

areas, oven door, and oven window.

Do not attempt to operate the appliance during

a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off

the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off

and the power resumes, electric surface

elements may resume operation when power is

restored. Once the power resumes, reset the

clock and the oven function.

Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical

device should exercise caution using or

standing near an induction unit while it is in

operation, as the electromagnetic field may

affect the working of the pacemaker or similar

medical device. It would be advisable to consult

your doctor or the pacemaker or similar medical

device manufacturer about your particular situa-

tion.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Save these instructions for future use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS

AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS

Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and

create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified

technician immediately.

Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge

or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking

area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some

cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to

a hot surface.

Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-

market oven liners, or any other materials or

devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any

other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as

recommended for baking, such as lining

cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other

use of protective liners or aluminum foil may

result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short

circuit.

Use care when opening oven door, lower oven

door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to

the side of the appliance 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. Touching

surfaces in this area when the oven is on may

cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-

sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These

items can 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 hot, do not let

potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.

Use potholders and grasp the rack with both

hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and

utensils before moving the rack.

Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler

pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away

from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the

broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and

grease could ignite.

Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always

cook in proper cookware and always use the

oven racks.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR APPLIANCE

Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts

free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow

grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan

could catch fire.

Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended

directions for use of kitchen cleaners and

aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from

cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing

damage and injury.

Clean ventilating hoods frequently - Grease

should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or

filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for

cleaning vent hoods.

Before manually cleaning any part of the appli-

ance, be sure all controls are turned off and the

appliance is cool. Cleaning a hot appliance can

cause burns.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Save these instructions for future use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF

CLEANING OVENS

Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should

be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any

kind should be used in or around any part of the

appliance.

Use the self clean cycle to clean only the parts

listed in this manual.

Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes

given off during the self clean cycle of any oven.

Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated

bakeware is the best for even heating.

It is suitable for all baked goods.

Recommended cooking temperatures and

times are based on shiny metal bakeware.

Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny

bakeware.

Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F

(13-14° C) when using dark bakeware.

Glass bakeware Glass bakeware cooks hotter than

shiny bakeware.

Glass is convenient, as the same piece

of bakeware can be used for cooking,

serving, and storing food.

Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F

(13-14° C) when using glass bakeware.

Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than

shiny bakeware.

Insulated bakeware is designed for

baking in gas ovens.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Cooking Conditions

Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.

Condition Attributes Recommendation

Aging cookware As pans age and become discolored,

cooking times may need to be reduced

slightly.

If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook

time in the recipe or packaging.

If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to

maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.

High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is lower.

Water boils at a lower temperature, and

liquids evaporate faster.

Foods may take longer to bake.

Doughs may rise faster.

Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as

needed.

Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.

Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce

evaporation.

Increase bake time or oven temperature.

Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in

recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and

allow it to rise twice.

Cooking Results

Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.

Result Recommendation

Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Cooking Tips

Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.

Cooking Tips

Baking

Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Oven Control Features” on starting on page 20.

When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.

Preheat Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food

immediately after the beep.

Checking food Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking perfor-

mance.

Bake Bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Broiling / Roasting

Broiling pan For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from

the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the

insert helps prevent grease splatters.

If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from

www.frigidaire.com.

Convection Cooking

Convection

attributes

Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more

evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven.

Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once.

Convection bake Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for

convection baking.

Preheat the oven for best results.

Convection roast Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most meats and poultry.

Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your

recipe’s temperature and time recommendations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not

specify convection roasting time.

Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food

type. You can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the

food at this time. If needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained.

Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery

and home goods stores.

Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.

Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch

grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If you do not have one of these accesso-

ries, they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com.

Cooking Tips

What is Electromagnetic Induction?

An induction cooking zone uses an electromagnet to induce

heat in iron or steel cookware.

Below each cooking zone on an induction cooktop, there is

a copper coil. When the cooking zone is turned on, the elec-

tricity turns the coil into a type of magnet that heats metal

cookware on the cooktop.

Induction Features

Because heat starts in the cookware instead of the cooktop,

induction offers several advantages.

Fast Heating: Cookware will heat up faster than on a

conventional electric cooktop. Pay close attention to avoid

scorching food when starting to cook. You may need to use

a lower setting for cooking food than you are used to.

Precise Control: The heat going into the cookware will

change immediately when you change the setting of the

cooking zone.

Even Heating: Cookware will typically heat more evenly on

an induction cooktop, so you are less likely to have hot or

cool spots in the cookware.

Cooler Cooktop: An induction cooktop will be cooler when

you remove the cookware than a conventional electric

cooktop would be. Because the cooktop doesn’t get as hot,

you are not as likely to get burned. Spills are also less likely

to burn onto the surface, making clean-up easier.

Energy Efficiency: Induction cooking wastes less energy

than a conventional cooktop, so it uses less electricity.

Preparation

Before using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic

cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware,

grocery, and department stores) to the ceramic surface.

Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. Cooktop cleaning

creams leave a protective finish on the glass that will make

cleaning easier when the cooktop is soiled from cooking

and help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sounds

The magnetic field over the induction cooking zone may

cause cookware to vibrate, creating a buzzing or humming

noise. These sounds are not unusual, especially at high

settings.

Figure 1: Induction noise

Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier, higher quality

cookware.

An induction cooktop may also produce faint clicking

sounds from the electronic switches that maintain the

desired cooking temperature.

Although induction cooking zones do not produce heat,

they can become hot from contact with hot cookware.

Burns may occur if a cooking zone or the surrounding

area is touched before it has cooled to a safe tempera

ture.

• Cookware that is not perfectly

flat on the bottom may vibrate

slightly against the cooktop.

• A loose handle may vibrate in

its socket.

• Multi-material cookware may

allow small vibrations in its

structure.

Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction cooktop

cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning” section and “Before

You Call” checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

CAUTION

NOTE

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat

setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow

the recommendations for using proper cookware as illus-

trated in

Figure 3 and Figure 3.

Induction-ready cookware will often have a symbol printed

on the bottom by the manufacturer..

Cookware Selection

Cookware selection is especially important when using an

induction cooktop. The cookware must contain magnetic

iron or steel to work on an induction cooktop. Common

materials for induction cookware include the following:

• Stainless Steel - Slow heat conductor with uneven

cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists

staining. Some types of stainless steel will not work on

an induction cooktop. Use the magnet test (

Figure 4) to

check stainless steel cookware.

•Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains heat very

well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics

will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel

on a magnetic metal will work on an induction cooktop.

Use the magnet test (

Figure 4) to check porcelain-

enamel cookware.

The Magnet Test

To see if a piece of cookware will work on your induction

cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it (see

Figure 3).

If the magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cookware, it

will work on your induction cooktop. If the magnet clings

weakly or not at all, the cookware will not heat up on your

induction cooktop.

Pan Sensing

Sensors beneath the cooktop surface require that certain

cookware conditions be met before an induction cooking

zone will operate. If a cooking zone is turned on and no

cookware is detected, the zone display showing the power

setting will flash (

Figure 5).

The conditions that generate a flashing message are illus-

trated in Figure 8. If the situation is not corrected, the

cooking zone will automatically turn off after three minutes.

It’s a good idea to lower the power setting before correcting

the pan sensing message.

Figure 2: Induction symbol

Check for flatness by rotating

a ruler across the bottom of

the cookware (see

Figure 3).

Cookware should have flat

bottoms that make good

contact with the entire surface

of the cooking zone (see

Figure 8 on page 14).

Figure 3: Ruler test

Figure 4: Magnet test

Proper cookware on an operating induction cooking zone

will heat up very quickly. If an empty piece of cookware is

left on an operating induction cooking zone, the rapid

change in temperature may warp or damage the

cookware.

CAUTION

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Minimum and Maximum Pan Size

The cooktop graphics are guides to minimum and maximum

pan size for each cooking zone.

Induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in

order to activate. The inner ring on each cooking zone

indicates the smallest pan size (

Figure 7). If a suitable piece

of cookware is centered properly but is too small, the

display will flash and the pan will not heat. Select a larger

pan or use a different cooking zone.

The outer ring on the cooktop graphic indicates the recom-

mended maximum pan size for that zone (

Figure 6). Do not

use pans with bottoms that extend beyond the outer circle

for a cooking zone. The cookware must make full contact

with the ceramic glass surface. Cookware should not rest

on or touch the metal edges of the cooktop.

For most even heating, use pans that fit the cooking zone

markings. If the pan is not a perfect fit for the marking, using

a larger pan is better than using a smaller pan.

The induction cooking zone creates heat in the cookware,

not in the cooktop. Heat is not created unless there is an

iron or steel object on the cooking zone.

Cook Zone Setting Display

The Setting Display will show the setting for the cook zone.

Figure 9: Setting displays (left)

If there is no cookware in the cook zone, the setting

indicator will blink, and the magnet will not turn on.

Hot Surface Indicator

The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat is

detected in the cooktop and will remain on until the surface

has cooled to a safe temperature.

Figure 10: Hot surface indicator light

• Although induction cooking zones do not directly

generate heat, they can become hot from contact

with hot cookware. Burns may occur if a cooking

zone or the surrounding area is touched before it has

cooled to a safe temperature.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt

and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic

wrapping on top of the range when it is in use. Heat

radiating from cookware could cause these items to

melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons

could catch fire if placed too close to hot cookware.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the

cooktop. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock or fire. If these items

melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop.

• Do not leave empty cookware on an operating

cooking zone. Cookware will heat very quickly and

may be damaged or warped if left on the cooking

zone empty.

• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two

different surface cooking areas at the same time.

Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

Cooktop Display Windows

The range backguard provides a digital window for each of

the cooking zones located on the cooktop. Power levels

and messages are easily monitored and controlled using

the window displays in combination with the corresponding

controls.

Available Power Level Settings

The cooktop control will display power levels ranging from P

(

Figure 11), Hi (Figure 14) to Lo (Figure 12). The settings

between 9 (Figure 15) and 2(Figure 16) decrease and

increase in 1.0 increments. The lowest setting (Figure 12)

will display just below the lowest digital setting of 2.

Power Boost Power Level (P)

When setting an induction cooking zone for the highest

setting (to the POWER BOOST position), the display will

initially show P (Power Boost) power level for up to 10

minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automati

cally return to the Hi setting (Figure 15). The P setting is

only available immediately after activating a cooking zone.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (E)

An error message will be displayed (flashing E) (

Figure 13)

at power up (or after a power failure) if any of the surface

settings were left in the ON positions. If a power failure

should occur, set all of the four surface controls to the OFF

position. This will reset the surface controls.

Be sure to reset the clock. Once the surface controls have

been set to the OFF positions and the clock has been set

with the correct time of day, the surface controls should

return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not

function and the E message remains in any display after

following these procedures, contact an authorized servicer

for assistance.

Lockout Window Message (-)

The (-) message will appear in all the surface control

displays whenever the Lockout or Self-clean feature is

active (

Figure 17). Refer to the “Setting Oven Lockout”

heading on page 21 for more details.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Induction surface cooking zones

Important: When the surface controls are activated a

cooling fan will turn on and remain on until the control is

turned off.

To operate an induction cooking zone:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the cooking zone.

2. Press the On-Off key of the cooking zone until it beeps.

A - (dash) will appear in the display.

3. Press the + or - key for the cooking zone (

until you reach the desired setting (refer to the Recom-

mended Induction zone settings in the table on this

page).

4. When cooking is complete, turn the induction cooking

zone OFF by pressing its on-off key before removing

the cookware.

The cooktop has a sensor to detect cookware in the

cooking zone. The cooking zone will not become active

without proper cookware in position. See

“Cooktop Display

Windows” on page 16.

• The Power Boost (P) setting is only available immedi-

ately after activating a cooking zone by pressing the +

key. The cooktop will remain in Power Boost for up to

10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will

automatically change to the High (H) setting.

• The size and type of utensil used and the amount and

type of food being cooked will influence the setting

needed for best cooking results.

• The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat

is detected in a cook zone. The light will remain on

until the heated surface area has cooled sufficiently.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Moving Cookware on a Smooth Cooktop

Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic glass

smoothtop. Cookware that has a rough or dirty bottom can

mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface. Always start

with clean cookware.

Pan Preheat Recommendations

Induction cooking may decrease the amount of time

required to preheat a piece of cookware compared to

cooking on a radiant or gas cooktop.

Remember that induction surface cooking will initially heat

the cookware very quickly.

• The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat is

detected in a cooking zone and will remain on until the

cooktop surface has cooled sufficiently.

• If cookware is moved away from the center of an active

cooking zone, the cooking zone will become inactive.

The setting display will flash until proper cookware is

placed in the center of the cooking zone. When

cookware is centered on the cooking zone, the zone will

resume heating. If the cooking zone has no cookware

for three minutes, it will automatically shut off.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when

home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA

(United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be

sure to read all the information they have available as well

as follow their recommendations for home canning proce

dures.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges

that radiate from the bottom center when home

canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom

surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check the canner

bottom.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed

1 inch beyond the cooking zone markings or burner.

• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on

electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center

canners on the burner grates.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the

water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to

lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully.

Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural

Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for

the latest canning information.

• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high

heat for an extended amount of time.

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on,

warm air is released through the vent. This venting is

necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good

baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the

openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or

moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Type of oven racks

• Flat oven racks are be used for most cooking needs

and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

Removing, replacing, and arranging oven racks

Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.

To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it

reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly

and slide out.

To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on

both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward

slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure

oven racks are level before using.

Figure 19: Oven vent

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any

other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls,

racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the

heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and

possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior.

Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of

electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in

the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the

oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior,

oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which

can cause burns.

• Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean

cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a

cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may

be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their

shiny finish.

• To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not

attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks

are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution

allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air

flows around the food from all sides. The convection fan will

turn on in preheat and remain on during baking.

Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature

between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking.

• Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.

Baking tips

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

cakes, biscuits and breads.

• When baking cakes using two oven racks place

bakeware in positions 3 and 5 and place bakeware as

shown in

Figure 30.

• When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes,

biscuits or muffins, use rack position 3.

• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking, use

Conv Convert to reduce oven temperature from the

recipe’s recommended oven temperature.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny

bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It

may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook

time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.

• Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny pans are

recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will

Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed

and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, use a fire extin-

guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be

explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread

and cause personal injury.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the

oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and

cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Convection Roast

Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convec-

tion fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry.

Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, seal-

ing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are

crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.

Benefits of Convection Roasting:

• Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving time and

energy.

• No special pans or bakeware required.

• Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.

• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe’s temperature

and time recommendations or refer to the convection

roast chart for additional information.

To set Convection Roast:

1. Place the insert on broiler pan. Place meat (fat side up)

on insert.

2. Make sure the insert is securely seated on top of the

broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.

3. Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.

4. Close the oven door.

5. Press Conv Roast.

6. Enter desired temperature using numeric keys.

7. Press OK/START.

8. When cooking is completed or to cancel convection

roast press OFF.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn

the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher.

Do not put water or flour on fire. Flour may be explosive.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the

oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and

cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

WARNING

CAUTION

Figure 32: Convection roasting

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.

• Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.

• Smaller roasts and poultry should be cooked using rack position 2 or 3.

• Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time

of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is

obtained.

• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommenda-

tions for additional information.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps

prevent grease splatters.

• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan instead.

Setting the Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish

Sabbath and Holidays)

For further assistance, guidelines for proper

usage, and a complete list of models with the

Sabbath feature, please visit the web at

www.star-k.org.

This appliance provides special settings for

use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath

mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes

on the oven control. Bake is the only cooking feature avail

able while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked

during Sabbath mode.

You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s)

needed for the oven and Delay Start options (if needed).

Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be

visible in the displays.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour

energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the

cooking features are canceled. If any of the cooking

features are canceled when the appliance is in the Sabbath

mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to

verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate

them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light

is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light

will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the

oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate

the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or

closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification

made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two

presses of the OK/START key. This will insure the oven

remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven

temperature outside of its temperature range.

If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature

range, the oven will default to the nearest available temper-

ature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.

Important:

• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function

except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. The

following keys will function correctly when the Sabbath

feature is active: 0-9 number keypad, Bake, OK/START,

and OFF. All other keys should not be used once the

Sabbath feature is active.

• You may change the oven temperature once baking has

started. Press Bake, use the numeric keypad to enter

the oven temperature change (170°F to 550F°), and

press OK/START (for Jewish Holidays only).

• Remember that the oven control will no longer provide

audible tones or display any further changes when the

Sabbath feature is active.

• The oven will remain on until canceled and therefore

may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish

Holidays.

• If a delay start time longer than 11 hours and 59

minutes is desired, set the oven control for the 24 hour

day display mode setting. See

“Setting 12 Hour or 24

Hour display mode”

on page 21 for more information.

To program oven to Bake with default oven temperature

of 350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day.

2. Arrange oven racks, place bakeware in oven, and close

oven door. Press Bake.

3. Note: If Delay Start is desired enter the timeat this point.

See “Setting Delay Start” on page 26 for detailed

instructions.

4. Press OK/START.

5. Press and hold Self Clean and Steam Clean simulta-

neously for about 3 seconds to set the Sabbath feature.

Once the feature is set, SAb will appear in the display

indicating the oven is properly set for the Sabbath

feature (

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures

(well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate

soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash

you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This func

tion can be programmed for clean times between 2 and 4

hours.

Important: Before starting self clean read all following

caution and important statements before starting a self

clean cycle

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories

from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the

oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including

cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum

foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self

clean cycle and will melt.

• Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings

in or around any part of the oven interior. 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 (

Figure 36). These areas heat sufficiently

to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to

starting Self Clean.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven

bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting

a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a

cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when

subjected to high temperatures.

• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content

(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie

fillings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a

dull spot even after cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material

in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should

be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door

gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door

gasket and compromise the performance of the oven.

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an

open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during

the first self clean cycle. This will help eliminate the

normal odors.

• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN

LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds

for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely

lock or unlock the oven door.

• When the clean time finishes, the oven door will remain

locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition

to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow

about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you

will be able to open the oven door.

• Do not leave small children unattended near appli-

ance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven

can become very hot and cause burns if touched.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any

part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause

permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy

heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.

• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage

the automatic door locking system. Use caution when

opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends.

The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To

avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when

opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to

fumes given off during the self clean cycle of any

range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.

CAUTION

seconds. Once the oven door has locked, CLEAN will

appear in the display indicating self clean has started.

Do not force the oven door open when self-clean is active.

This can damage the automatic door-locking system. Use

caution when opening the door after self-clean cycle is

complete; the oven may still be very hot.

When self clean is finished:

1. CLEAN message will turn off, and Hot will appear in

display window.

2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot

is no longer displayed, the oven door may be opened.

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe

away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or

paper towel.

Setting Delay Start Self Clean

To start a delay self clean with default clean time of 3

hours and a start time of 9:00 o’clock:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the

oven is empty, and all oven racks are removed. Be sure

oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Self Clean

3. Press Delay Start.

4. Using numeric keypad, enter 9 0 0.

5. Press OK/START to accept.

If it becomes necessary to stop self clean when active:

1. Press OFF.

Important: If self clean has heated the oven to a high

temperature, allow enough time for the oven to cool. Before

restarting self clean, be sure to read important notes below.

Important note:

• If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display mode,

the delay start for a self clean can only be programmed

to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes after the time

showing in the display (be sure to set the clock to

current time before programming a Delay Start). To set

a delay start Self Clean to begin 12 or more hours

(maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) after the time of

setting, be sure to first set the control in the 24 Hr

display mode.

• If self clean was active and then interrupted by a power

failure or canceled before the oven was thoroughly

cleaned, it may be necessary to run another self clean

cycle.

• If the oven temperature was high enough when self

clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow

another self clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.

To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven

door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the

oven when opening the door to allow hot steam and air to

escape.

Steam Clean

The Steam Clean feature offers a chemical free and time

saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of small and

light soils. For heavier baked on soils use the Self Clean

feature.

Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam

Clean. If the oven temperature is above room temperature

a triple beep will be heard and the function will not start.

Steam Clean produces best results when started with a cool

oven

To set a Steam Clean cycle:

1. Remove all racks and oven accessories.

2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven

bottom.

3. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom.

4. Press Steam Clean.

5. Press OK/START. St Cn will appear in the display.

6. To see the time remaining in the Steam Clean cycle

press the Steam Clean key once. Do not open the door

during this time. If door is open while in Steam Clean for

more than 4 minutes an open door alarm will sound.

7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will

sound and the END message will show in the display.

Press OFF to return to the clock.

8. Take care opening the door when the steam clean is

finished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the way of

escaping vapor.

9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door

gasket (

Figure 38). Avoid leaning or resting on the oven

door glass while cleaning cavity.

10. To cancel Steam Clean at any time press OFF.

Important: Opening oven door during Steam Clean cycle

prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed

to clean. If the door is left open once Steam Clean starts, an

alarm will sound alerting you to close the door.

• For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle

is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the

oven bottom.

• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to

capture any water that may spill while wiping out.

• A non abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge,

plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without

cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads

with water before use.

• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any

length of time.

• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to

the oven vent. This is normal. The oven gasket may

become damp; do not wipe dry.

• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard

water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a

50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of

lemon juice and water.

• Steam Clean cannot be programmed with a delay start.

• If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self

Clean. See

“Self Clean” on page 34.

Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any other

abrasive household cleaners to the water used for Steam

Clean. Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all

controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven

may be hot and can cause burns.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cooktop Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining

your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a

ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most

hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the ceramic

surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will

make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop

cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass to

help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on

the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed

immediately after the cooktop has cooled using 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.

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the bottom;

always use clean cookware.

• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in

the kitchen.

• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass

cooktop; they may cause it to crack.

Cooktop Cleaning

For light to moderate soil:

For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of cooktop

cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper

towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the

cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not

use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other

purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the

soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive

cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the

pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor

blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the

surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning

cream and buff the surface clean.

Figure 40: Cooktop care

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The

fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemi-

cally damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface

could be hot from contact with hot cookware, and burns

may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has

cooled sufficiently.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you

use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning

products that have been specifically designed for ceramic

glass cooktops.

CARE AND CLEANING

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

Replacing the Oven Light

The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven

cavity and covered with a glass shield. The glass shield

must be in place whenever the oven is in use (

Figure 41).

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug

the appliance.

2. Remove the interior oven light shield after removing the

wire holder by carefully moving the wire to the side of

the glass shield. The tension from the wire holds the

glass shield in place.

3. Pull the shield straight out. Do not twist or turn.

4. Replace the bulb with a new appliance bulb.

5. Replace the glass oven light shield. Replace wire

holder.

6. Turn the power back on again at the main source (or

plug the appliance back in).

7. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.

Remove and replace storage drawer

Use the storage drawer for storing cooking utensils. The

drawer can be removed to facilitate cleaning under the

range. Use care when handling the drawer.

To remove the drawer:

1. Open the drawer to the fully opened position.

2. Locate the latches on both sides of the drawer.

3. Pull up on the left glide latch and push down on the right

glide latch.

4. Pull the drawer away from the range.

To replace the drawer:

1. Align the glide latches on both sides of the drawer with

the slots on the drawer.

2. Push the drawer back into the range.

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such

as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,

causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the

oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock or fire.

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop

can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum

cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the

surface elements under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is

much lower than that of other metals. Care must be

taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the

cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry

when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be

damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or

mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently

damaging the cooktop surface.

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool

before replacing the oven light.

of operation. They may also run for an extended period of time, even when the oven

is off. Loud noises from the fans are not normal and require service.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Cooktop Problems

Surface element is too hot or not

hot enough.

Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.

The Power Boost (P) setting is only available immediately after activating a cooking

zone by pressing the + key. The cooktop will remain in Power Boost for up to 10

minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automatically change to the High (H)

setting.

The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food being cooked will

influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat is detected in a cook zone. The

light will remain on until the heated surface area has cooled sufficiently

Surface element does not heat or

does not heat evenly.

Be sure the correct surface control is turned on for element needed.

Be sure to use the correct cookware material type for induction cooking. Use

cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer to use for induction cooking.

If you’re not sure, use a magnet to test whether the cookware type will work. If a

magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for induction

cooking.

Use quality heavier gauge cookware.

Cookware in the cooking zone is

too hot or not hot enough.

Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.

Cooking zone does not heat

cookware.

Be sure the correct surface control is turned on for the element needed.

Incorrect cookware used. See
