WARNING j COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch
on fire.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite, resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose

a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Only certain types of glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop
service;others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units.

asl, 2,3:
Preheat the oven to BAKEat 425°, with the oven rack in center position "C."
Placeyour griddle on the designated area of the cooktop and then preheat the griddle
to 400°F.
CAUTION:The griddle will be VERYHOT!Useoven mitts.
.
6.
7.
8.
Searsteak on each side for 2 minutes or until the desired browning is achieved.
NOTE.Therewill be "smoke";ensure there isproper ventilation.
Insert the meat probe that came with your range into the center of the steak,making sure that the tip
of the probe is in the center of the steak.
Plugthe probe into the outlet (located on the upper front side of the oven),slide the rack buck into the
oven and close the door.
PressPROBEon your control, enter the desired internal temp, and pressSTART.
.
Allow steak to finish cooking inthe oven.The range control will beep and turn off when
the steak reaches the desired internal temperature.
NOTES.
After searing,your steak could possibly already be at the desired temperature, depending on size,
cut and desired doneness.
For thinner steaks it may not be possible to achieve u Rare or Medium Rare doneness.
By first searing your meat with a very high heat,you are creating a browning reaction known as the Maillard Reaction.
Thisreaction unlocks the fuller, more intenseflavor from the meat, which occurs when cooking meat at a high heat.

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns,place the racks in the desiredposition beforeyou turn on the oven.
The number of rack positions may
vary by model.
Before you begin...
The racks have stops,so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop before
coming completely out and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the
rack out until it stops.
On some models,the bake heating element is
under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the
oven bottom for cooking.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks)on the support, tilt up the front and
push the rack in.
CAUTION
Whenyou are using a rack in the lowest position
(A),you will need to usecaution when pulling
the rack out. We recommend that you pull the
rack out several inchesand then, using two pot
holders,pull the rack out by holding the sides of
it. Therack is low and you could be burned ifyou
placeyour hand in the middle of the rack and
pull all the way out. Be very careful not to bum
your hand on the door when using the rack in
the lowest position (A).
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
The foil will trap heat below and upset the
performance of the oven. Foilcan melt
and permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
Foilmay be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food .Do not use more foil than necessary
and neverentirelycoveran ovenrackwith
aluminum foil. Keepfoil at least !-!/2" from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Using the probe, consomemode sI
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature
probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact aloneness you want.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.

Use of probes other than the one provided with
this product may result in damage to the probe
or oven control.
Usethe handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the food and

To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
i: To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food
is completely defrosted before inserting.
After preparing the meat and placing
it on a trivet or a broiler pan grid, follow these
directions for proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the meet. It
should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
NOTE:Failure to fully insert the probe into the
meat may result in poor cooking performance
becausethe probe will sense the oven air vs.the
food temperature.

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Useyour new oven for a few weeks to become
more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These
thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Host recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% @t).If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cokes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federalstandards require products labeled"margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Convection Fan Operation
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are
evenly cooked and browned-often in less time
with convection heat.
NOTE:To maximize cooking evenness,the fan
is designed to rotate in both directions,with u
pause in between. Thisis normal.
The convection fun shuts off when the oven
door is opened. DONOTleave the door open
for long periods of time while using convection
cooking or you may shorten the life of the
convection heating element.
Multi-rack position.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
[] Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked with
[] excellent results using multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall result
is time saved. Cookies,muffins, biscuits and
other quickbreuds give very good results with
multi-rack baking.
When baking on 3 racks,place one rack in the
second (B)position, another rack in the fourth
(D)position and the third rack in the sixth (F)
position.
For two-rack baking, place one rack in the
second (B)rack position. Placethe other rack in
the fifth (E)rack position.
1-Rack Convection Baking
When convection baking with only 1 rack, place
the food so that it is centered in the oven.
Adapting Recipes...
You can use your favorite recipes in the

poultry are browned on all sides as if they were
cooked on a rotisserie.The heated air sealsin
juices quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich golden
brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and grid
for best convection roasting results.The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid is used
to prevent grease spatters.

Cookwure for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,check to see
if your cookware leaves room for air circulation
in the oven. Ifyou are baking with several pans,
leave space between them. Also,be sure the
puns do not touch each other or the walls of the
oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that
are recommended for use in regular baking can
also be used for convection baking but should
not be used at temperatures higher than the
temperature recommended by the cookware
manufacturer. Plasticcookware that is heat-
resistant to temperatures of 400°Fcan also be
used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven; however, metal pans heat the
fastest and are recommended for convection
baking.
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan
with low sides.Hot air cannot circulate well
around food in a pan with high sides.
Using the timed features

Guideline Tips
The slow cook program uses a complex series of
temperature cycling to obtain the best results. For this
reason, it is recommended that the slow cook program
be allowed to run without cancelling or restarting.
Restarting the slow cook feature while it is in progress
may result in overcooked meat.
Forjuicy and tender meat, choose cuts of meat such
as chuck roast or a boneless blade roost. Leaner cuts
of meat, such as top round, are drier and may need
additional liquid.
Use only glass and ceramic dishes. Metal pots and
pans tend to transfer the heat into the foods too
quickly.
Match the quantity of food to the sizepan. Fill the pan
about 3/4 full for best results.Too large a pot allows the
steam to escape, causing foods to dry out.
Always cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil.
A wide range of recipes may be used in the slow cook
feature. Forbest results some adjustments may need
to be made. For smaller sized recipes, begin checking
at minimum time. Forlarge recipes or when doubling
recipes, foods may be cooked for longer periods of
time.
When the slow cook feature completes, the oven will
automatically switch to "worm" mode. If additional slow
cook time is desired,this warm mode may be used to
obtain the extra time.
