IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR RADIANT 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.

• 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.

• 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 the sudden change in

temperature. Check the manufacturer’s

recommendations for cooktop use.

• Improper cookware may break due to

sudden changes in temperature. Check

the cookware manufacturer’s recommen-

dations for cooktop use.

• Never leave surface elements unat-

tended. Boil-overs may cause smoking

and greasy spills may ignite. A pan that

has boiled dry could be damaged and

may damage the cooktop.

• Do not use a searing grill meant for use

with a broiler pan on the cooktop. The

searing grill is not designed for use on the

cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

• When you are flaming foods under a

ventilating hood, turn on the fan.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS

AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS ONLY

• 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.

Before Setting Surface Controls

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the radiant

element power level setting needed for best cooking results.

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper

cookware shown on this page.

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat

is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.

•Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food

will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists

staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic

cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble

scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May

leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).

• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.

Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

•Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat

very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will

vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel

coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic

• Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic

cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass-

porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to make

contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the

cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop. If the

cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be sure to follow all

the cookware manufacturer’s suggestions when using any type

of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

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 and 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.

Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic cooktop.

Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms can mark and

scratch the ceramic glass surface. Only flat-bottom cookware

should be used.

Radiant surface elements may appear to

have cooled after they have been turned off.

The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the

glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Figure 2: Check pan for flat bottom using ruler

• Flat bottom and straight

sides.

• Tight ﬁtting lids.

• Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced

• Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be

prepared and the size

of the surface element.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match pot

diameter to element

size.

• Curved and warped pans.

• Cookware larger than

cooking area marked on

cooktop by more than

one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is smaller than the

heating area marked on

cooktop.

Before Setting Surface Controls

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.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with

different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and

in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as

follows: (

Figure 3)

• Two smaller 7 inch radiant elements located at the right

and left rear position and a bridge element.

• An expandable 6 , 9 or 12 inch element located at the

right front position;

• A warmer zone at the center rear od the cooktop.

• A single 6 inch element at the right rear of the cooktop.

Important: When any cooktop element is turned on the Element

On indicator light will glow. When the surface becomes very hot

the Hot Element indicator light will glow and remain on until the

cooktop element has cooled to a safe temperature.

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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal

and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant

element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 9

for using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).

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) website and be sure to read

all the information they have available as well as follow their

recommendations for home canning procedures.

Tips and procedures for canning foods:

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges

that radiate from the bottom center when home canning

using a ceramic cooktop.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1

inch beyond the surface element markings or element. It is

recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric

coil and ceramic glass cooktops. 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.

• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two

different surface cooking areas at the same time. This will

cause uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic

cooktop to fracture.

• (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity of

heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface

will turn light green when the element is first turned off. This

phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its

original white color after it has completely cooled down.

Important note: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic

glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section

and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care

Guide.

Figure 3: Single elements (left w/ bridge element) Warmer

Zone (rear) and triple element (front right)

Setting Surface Controls

Operating Surface Controls

The size and type of cookware used, and the amount and type

of food being cooked will influence the surface element power

level setting needed for best cooking results. Once an element is

heating it will cycle on and off to maintain the heat setting. The

element on indicator light will glow once an element is turned

on.

Suggested settings for single and dual (some models)

radiant surface elements

Radiant surface elements may appear to

have cooled after they have been turned off.

The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the

glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of

the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed

too close to the surface elements.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass-

porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to make

contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the

cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

ELEMENT ON AND HOT SURFACE indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with different types of surface

indicator lights that will glow on the control panel.

The ELEMENT ON indicator light will glow when any surface

element is turned on.

The HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when any surface

cooking element heats up and will remain on until the cooktop

has cooled to a moderate level

Note: The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on

a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and

adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element

provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Refer to

Table 1 for suggested settings.

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting

needed for best cooking results.

Table 1: Suggested settings for various cooking needs

Settings Type of Cooking

High (HI-9) Start most foods, bring water

to boil, pan broiling

Medium high (7-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry,

deep fat fry

Medium (5-6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken

sauces and gravies, steam

vegetables

Medium-low (2-4) Keep foods cooking, poach,

stew

Low (LO-1) Keep warm, melt, simmer

Figure 4: ELEMENT ON and HOT SURFACE indicators

Element On Hot Surface

Setting Surface Controls

Single Element Control

The cooktop has two or three single radiant surface elements:

the left rear and left front elements, and the right rear element.

The left front element may also be used with the bridge

element.

To operate the single element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface

element.

2. Turn the control knob and adjust temperatures from Lo to

HI.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element

off before removing the cookware.

Important notes:

• For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

• Refer to the suggested radiant surface element settings for

suggested power level settings as shown in the table on this

page. A glowing red surface heating area extending

beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the

cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

Triple Surface Element

The expandable element can handle 6 inch, 9 inch, or 12 inch

cookware. The triple element is especially useful for canning or

heating large amounts of water.

To operate the triple surface element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the triple surface

element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob to the element size that

best fits the cookware.

3. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at

each setting.

4. When finished cooking, turn the control knob to OFF before

removing the cookware.

Important notes:

• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then

turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant

heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.

This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.

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.

• A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the

bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too

small for the surface heating area.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care & Cleaning

and Before You Call sections of this Use & Care Guide.

Figure 6: Triple element control knob

Setting Surface Controls

Bridge Control

On the left side of the cooktop there are two single elements

with a bridge element between them. When turned on, the

bridge control allows for a larger cooking area by cycling at

the same temperature as the left front element and can accom-

modate specialized cookware.

To operate the bridge element:

1. Turn the control knob clockwise to activate the front element

and the bridge element.

2. When the bridge element is active, it will maintain the same

heat setting as the left front element.

3. To turn on the front element only, turn the control knob

counter-clockwise to the desired setting.

Important: Use only cookware specifically designed for use

with the bridge element.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of

the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed

too close to the surface elements.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass-

porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make

contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the

cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not

straddle cookware between two cooking surfaces unless the

cookware is designed for that purpose.

Warmer Zone

Unlike other radiant elements, the warmer

zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to

cause burns. Use the warmer zone feature to keep cooked

foods hot such as vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews,

breads, and pastries at serving temperature. Avoid placing

hands on or near the warmer zone until the hot surface indicator

light is off. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing

food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

• Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the

warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should

be covered with a lid to maintain quality.

• For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover

should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not

use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the

surface and be very difficult to clean.

• Use only plates, and cookware recommended for oven and

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located under the control knobs. When the oven

is in use, warm air passes through this vent for proper air circu-

lation and provides good baking results. Steam or moisture may

appear near the oven vent. This is normal. Do not block this

vent.

Cooling Fan

The cooling fan may continue to run for a while even after the

oven has been turned off; this is normal.

Protective liners — Do no

t line the oven walls, racks, botto

m or

any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will

alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may

cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean

temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

Use aluminum foil only as recommended in this manual.

Improper installation or use of these liners may result in risk of

electric shock or fire.

Oven Racks

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or

adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely

cooled if possible. Oven racks may be very hot and may cause

burns. Remove all oven racks and rack ladders before starting

a self clean cycle. Clean oven racks according to the instructions

provided in the Care and Cleaning section.

IMPORTANT!

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to

close the oven door until all oven racks are fully positioned

inside the oven cavity.

Your appliance comes with the following rack type (See

Figure 11:

• Flat handle oven racks are used for most cooking needs

and can be placed in most oven rack positions.

Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Oven Racks

• To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven

is cool (prior to operating the oven).

• To remove - For ease of removal, racks should not be

placed in adjacent rack positions. 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 the

oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and

slide the oven rack back into place.

Baking tips

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies,

biscuits, and breads.

• For layer cakes use bake function for best results.

• For pastries and breads, use the convection bake function

for best results when using multiple racks.

• For best results when using Bake for cakes on two oven

racks, place racks in positions 3 and 7 (Figure 16) and

place pans as shown in Figure 15.

• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware

for proper air circulation.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,

resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be

necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to

prevent overbrowning of some foods.

• Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and

muffins.

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

the temperature in the oven and extend baking time.

• When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so that the

food is in the center of the oven.

To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F:

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 Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat

continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution

allows for even cooking and browning on multiple racks. Breads

and pastry brown more evenly.

Convec Bake may be set for any oven temperature between

170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of convection baking include:

• Can cook up to 25% faster.

Baking tips

• For pastries and breads, use the convection bake function

for best results when using multiple racks.

• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware

for proper air circulation.

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies,

biscuits, and breads.

• When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so that the

food is in the center of the oven.

• When using two oven racks, place in positions 2 and 7

(Figure 18) and place bakeware as shown in Figure 19.

• When using three racks for baking position racks on 2, 5,

and 8.

• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides

or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the

food.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny

bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven

temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of

some foods. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes,

cookies, and muffins.

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

the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.

• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking, reduce

oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven

temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s

instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

Figure 21: Display showing cooking has ended

Oven Controls

Setting Convection Roast

The Convection Roast function combines a cook cycle with the

convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using

the Convection Roast function will be juicier, and poultry will be

crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Convection Roast may be set for any oven temperature

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

If an oven fire occurs, turn the oven off and do

not open the door. Use a Class B/C fire extinguisher. Do not put

water or flour on the fire. Flour can be explosive and water can

cause a grease fire to spread possibly causing personal injury.

Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. A

roasting rack (some models) can be used when convection

roasting. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil;

the exposed grease could ignite.

Convection roasting tips:

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is

active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven

door is closed.

• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recom-

mendations or refer to the convection roast recommenda-

tions for additional information.

• Do not open the oven door too often, doing so will release

heat and extend the cooking time of most food.

• Roast food on the lowest rack of the oven.

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

Convection Roast. Since Convection Roast cooks food faster,

the cook time may be reduced up to 25% of the recom-

mended cook time of your recipe. If necessary, increase

cooking time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid

will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the

meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1if available.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting because this will

prevent the meat from browning properly.

To set Convection Roast with a default oven set temperature

of 350°F:

1. Press Convec Roast.

2. Press START.

To cancel Convection Roast at any time, press STOP.

* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poison-

ing organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is

145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC)** Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil

to prevent over browning and drying of the skin.

* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means

some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA) The lowest temperature recommended

by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). NOTE: Broiling is direct heat cooking and will pro-

duce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from element. Always watch foods carefully to prevent burning.

Temp Probe

When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry, use the

temp probe function to check the internal temperature without

any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts,

testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure

properly cooked meats.

Important note:

• Use only the temp probe supplied with appliance. Using

any other probe or device may result in damage to

appliance and the temp probe receptacle.

• Never leave or store temp probe inside oven.

• Handle the temp probe carefully when inserting and

removing from food or probe receptacle.

• Do not use tongs or any other kitchen utensils to pull on

temp probe cable when inserting or removing from food or

receptacle.

• Defrost food completely before inserting temp probe to

avoid damaging probe.

• To avoid possibility of burns, after cooking carefully unplug

temp probe using a pot holder to protect hands.

Proper temp probe placement:

• Always insert temp probe so that the probe tip rests in the

center of the thickest part of meat.

• Do not allow temp probe to touch bone or cookware.

• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert temp probe into the center

of lowest large muscle or joint.

• For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert temp

probe into center of food.

• When cooking fish, insert temp probe just above the gill.

• For whole poultry or turkey, insert temp probe into the

thickest part of the breast (

Figure 24).

Setting Slow Cook

The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower

oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Two Slow Cook

settings are available: high (Hi) and low (Lo). The high setting is

best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours. The low setting is

best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for

more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result

in food poisoning or sickness.

Tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.

• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position

2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various

bakeware when cooking multiple food items.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open

when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the

Slow Cook time may need to be extended.

• Cover to keep foods moist or uncover to allow foods to turn

crisp or brown.

• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook

times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone,

and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be

necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of

cooking.

Important note:

• Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook

Time and Delay Start.

• The maximum cook time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours

and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to the

continuous bake mode.

To set Slow Cook:

cally. Warm & Hold will keep the oven temperature at 170° F

(77°C).

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for

more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result

in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as

milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrig-

erator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven

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 audi-

ble tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake

heating is the only cooking feature available while in the Sab-

bath mode. Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

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

for the oven, the Cook Time, and Delay Start options (if

needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode

will be visible in the displays. The Cook Time option, if set prior

to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of

Cook Time.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour

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

cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features

are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no

audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the can-

cellation.

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 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 temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature

again.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for

more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result

in food poisoning or sickness.

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.

3. Press Bake.

4. Press

START.

5. If Cook Time or Delay Start are not needed, skip this step

and continue to step 6. If a Cook Time or Delay Start are

desired enter the times at this point. See

“” and “Setting

Delay Start” on page 18 for detailed instructions.

6. Press and hold Cook Time and Delay Start simultaneously

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 (

Figure 28).

Important note:

• 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,

START, and STOP. 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

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.

• Remember the oven will shut-off automatically after

completing a Cook Time, Delay Start, or Warm & Hold 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. For detailed instructions, see

“Setting 12 Hour

or 24 Hour Display Mode”

your recipe times, you may adjust the control so the oven cooks

hotter or cooler than the oven temperature displayed.

The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F

(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory cali-

brated settings.

To increase (+) or decrease (-) the oven temperature by 20°F:

1. Press and hold Bake until the control produces an audible

tone (about 6 seconds). The factory offset temperature of

0 (zero) should appear in the display.

2. Enter 2 0 using numeric keypad.

3. To offset the oven by -20°F, press the Down arrow key until

the display reads -20.

4. Press

START to accept change.

Important note:

• Oven temperature adjustments will not change the Broil or

Self Clean function temperatures.

• Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in

grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your

oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to

40°F degrees from actual temperatures.

• The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your

oven control is set to display temperatures in °C (Celsius).

Minimum and maximum settings for Celsius range from plus

(+)19°C to minus (-) 19°C.

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well

above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils com-

pletely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe

away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be pro-

grammed for any duration between 2 and 4 hours.

Read full instructions including warnings and cautions before

starting Self Clean. Be sure to read all following caution and

important statements before starting a self clean cycle.

Do not leave small children unattended near

appliance. 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 per-

manent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribu-

tion, and will met 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.

The oven bake and broil elements may appear

to have cooled after they have been turned off. These elements

may still be hot and burns may occur if elements are touched

before they have cooled.

Important notes:

• Completely remove any accessories from oven cavity to

avoid damage to oven racks.

• 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 use 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 30). 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.

• To avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when opening

door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

clean is active. This will damage the automatic door locking

system.

When Self Clean is finished:

Use caution when opening the oven door after

self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause

burns. To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven

door after the self clean cycle. Stand to the side of the oven

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

escape.

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

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 cancelled 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.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling

as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.

Surface Type Recommendation

Control knobs

Painted body parts

Painted decorative trim

Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim

• For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-

up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30-60

minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these

materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to OFF position. Grasp firmly

and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of

both knob and shaft, then push knob into place.

Control panel

Control keypad membrane

Decorative trim (some models)

• Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off, activate oven lockout (on some

models), and if needed remove any knobs from panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners on

any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth or

sponge. Be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge before wiping control

panel, especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the

controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a cloth

or sponge and be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge before wiping the

control panel.

Porcelain enamel parts and door liner • Gentle scrubbing with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse

with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an

ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp

cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry

with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk,

tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface; they may cause

a dull spot even after cleaning.

Oven interior • For oven interior remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting Self

Clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For

important cleaning precautions, read all the instructions in

“Self Clean” on page 29.

Porcelain oven racks • This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven

during the self-clean cycle. So not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is

important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil.

To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides

of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.

Oven door • Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse

well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not immerse

the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door

vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning

materials on the outside of the oven door.

Care and Cleaning

General Cleaning

Before manually cleaning any part of the

range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool.

The range may be hot and can cause burns.

Using ammonia to clean the oven is not

recommended. However, if used, ammonia must be rinsed thor-

oughly before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Aluminum foil and utensils

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. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in

this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result

in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Do not use the following on the cooktop (Figure 31):

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as

metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop,

making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,

ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the

cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they

can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and

cause discoloration.

Important note:

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.

Cooktop Cleaning

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.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the

controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass

surface could be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is

touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

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

(

Figure 32). Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream

and buff surface clean.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content need be removed

immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop

surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop

surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning

the surface elements off, use a razor blade scraper or a metal

spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as

illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method

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 protec-

tive 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.

Important:

• Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

• Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;

replace with clean cookware before using.

• Never use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface

in the kitchen.

• Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass

cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips

To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from

the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use potholders or

oven mitts because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off

grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water. Clean the broiler pan

and insert as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use

soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the

insert.

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners

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

cove

r an enti

re oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil.

Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon

monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing

a fire hazard.

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line th

e oven

bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the

oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of materials can also

reduce the effectiveness of the air circulation in the oven and

produce poor baking results.

Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.

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. If aluminum pans are

allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the utensil will

be damaged or destroyed.

•Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven

racks. During self clean the oven temperature can become

hot enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum

foil and could result in permanent damage to the oven

interior and porcelain finish.

Special Care Instructions

Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Follow these

recommendations:

• Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully

in place inside the oven cavity.

• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.

• Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may

weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage

at a later time.

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the

problem listed:

Problem Solution

Poor baking results • Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the

oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature

before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature

or baking time. See

“Setting Self Clean” on page 30 if you feel the oven is too hot or

cold.

Oven does not operate • The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the oven.

• Be sure oven controls are set properly. See

“Setting Clock” on page 16 and review

instructions for the desired cooking function in this manual.

• Service wiring is not complete.

Oven light does not work • Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See

“Replacing Oven Lights” on page 35.

Flames inside oven or smoking from

oven vent

• Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe

up excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when

using broil, see

“Setting Broil” on page 23.

Surface element is too hot or not hot

enough

• Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.

Surface element does not heat or

does not heat evenly

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

• Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavy-

weight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and

weight of the material affect heating.

• Heavy and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly,

foods may burn easily.

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop

surface

• Coarse particles such as salt or hardened soils between cooktop and utensils can cause

scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage.

Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.

• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. Apply

a cooktop cleaning cream to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or

sponge.

• Cookware with rough bottom was used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.

Brown streaks or specks on cooktop

surface

• Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil.

Self clean does not work • Oven control not set properly. Review

“Setting Self Clean” on page 30.

Porcelain coated oven racks do not

slide easily

• This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks which can remain in the oven

during the self clean. Do not clean this vege

table

oil lubrication off the racks. It is

important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil.

To maintain optimal rack performance, reapply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the side

of the racks after every self clean cycle or when the racks become difficult to slide.

Before You Call

Oven smokes excessively when

broiling

• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions on page 22.

• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance

between the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty

edges to prevent curling.

• Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling

frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.

Oven control panel beeps and

displays any F or E code error

• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the error code.

Try bake or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off power to appliance,

wait 5 minutes and then repower appliance. Set clock with correct time of day. Try bake

or broil function again. If fault recurs, press STOP to clear.

Soil not completely removed after

self clean

• Self Clean was interrupted. Review instructions in

“Setting Self Clean” section on

page 30.

• Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting self clean.

• Failure to clean 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 are not in the

self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before

starting the clean cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and

water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

Convection fan does not rotate • Oven door is open. Convection fan will turn off if oven door is opened when convection

is active. Close oven door.

Fan noise occurring after the oven is

turned off

• Some models are equipped with a cooling fan that runs during the cooking process to

cool internal electronic components. It is normal for this fan to continue to run for an

extended period of time, even when the oven is off.
