Before Setting Oven Controls
OVEN VENT
Oven Vent Location
For models equipped with ceramic cooktops, the oven vent is located
under the left rear side of the control panel. 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.
Arranging Oven Racks
AL WAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pullthe rack forward until itstops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on
the oven walls. Tilt the front ofthe rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter
of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only
fiat-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. The ceramic
fixture thermally insulates the heating element,
concentrating heat in the heating zone. For
efficient cooking, turn off the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This wilt
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 and 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 can occur if the cookware is
too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
