figure 2: proper cookware
Cookware material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly
and quickly heat is transferred from the surface
element to the pan bottom. The most popular
materials available are:
• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some
types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized
aluminum cookware resists staining and
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 (see Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. 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 cooktops.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended
for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may
scratch the glass.
ImpoRTANT
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-
enamel coated cookware on the ceramic
cooktop! The melting point of cookware made
with these materials may be reached quickly
especially if left empty, and they may bond to
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.
CAuTIoN
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting
board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard
objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with
rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface.
Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface
(without cooking utensil) is not recommended as
dicult cleaning will result and foods may smoke
and cause potential fire hazard. Never use the
griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic
glass cooktop.

Hot Surface Indicator Light
Your appliance is equipped with a radiant surface
control indicator light, which is located on the
control panel (Figure 4).
The Hot Surface indicator light will glow when any
surface cooking area heats up and will remain on
until the glass cooktop has cooled to a moderate
level.
CAuTIoN
The glass surface may still be hot and burns may
occur if the glass surface is touched before the
indicator light has turned o.
NoTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows
the element to cycle on and o, 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.
For detailed information about the ceramic
cooktop, refer to the “Cooktop Cleaning” on
page 29.
Cooktop Indicator Light
The Cooktop indicator light will turn on when one
or more elements are turned on. A quick glance

About Surface Elements
For ecient cooking, turn o the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process. The
type and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and their settings are all factors
that will aect 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 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 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 o. The
heating element retains enough heat to provide a
uniform and consistent heat during the o cycle.

Home Canning
CAuTIoN
Canning can generate large amounts of steam.
Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always
raise the lid to vent steam away from you. Safe
canning requires that harmful micro-organisms
are destroyed and the jars are sealed completely.
When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously
for the required time.
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
procedures.
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. Heat is spread more evenly when
the bottom surface is flat.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element 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.
Alternate surface units between each batch to
allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool
down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner
unit all day.

Surface Cooking Elements and Settings
The cooktop has four single radiant or coil surface
elements, depending upon your appliance.
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the
surface element power level setting needed for
best cooking results. Use Table 1 to determine
the correct setting for the type of food you are
preparing.
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant
or coil surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob
in either direction to the desired setting
(Figure 6). Start most cooking operations
on a higher setting and then turn to a lower
setting to finish cooking. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. 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.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the
cookware.
Surface Cooking Tips:
• For ecient cooking, turn o the element
several minutes before cooking is complete.
This will allow residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
• The Cooktop indicator light will glow when
one or more elements are turned on. A quick
glance at these indicator lights when cooking is
finished is an easy check to be sure all surface
elements are turned o.
CAuTIoN
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned o. The
indicator light will turn on and will continue to
glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to
a moderate level. The glass surface may still be
hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before the indicator light has turned o.
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 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,

Air Circulation in the oven
The rack has a special shape in the rear which
helps with the heat circulation.
Do not push the baking tray all the way to the
back wall of the cavity. This prevents the heat from
circulating around the tray. The food may be burnt,
especially in the rear part of the tray.
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space
of 2 inches (5 cm) around the cookware for proper
air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides, or back of
the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware
for even heat to reach the food.

This appliance comes with two flat racks.
• Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking
needs and may be placed in most oven rack
positions.
• The oset oven rack (some models) provides
additional step down positions from the
standard flat rack design. The oset design
positions the base of the rack about ½ of a rack
position lower than the flat rack and may be
used in most oven rack positions. To maximize
oven cooking space, place the bottom oven
rack in the lowest rack position for baking or

For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the
recommended bake function for best results for
batter and dough-based baked goods such as
cakes, pastries, and breads.
Single Rack Baking
figure 15: Baking with a single rack
If you choose to use a single rack while cooking,
then radiant baking is preferred.
• For best results when baking with one oven
rack, place racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 14).
• When baking using one oven rack, position
bakeware as shown in Figure 15. Allow at least
2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for
proper air circulation.
NoTE
The single rack baking image is correct, but it’s
also for presentation purposes. You may also
bake with the left pan in the front and the right
pan in the back. Either position for either pan
bakes correctly.
multi-Rack Baking
figure 16: Baking with multiple levels & racks
If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking,
then Convection baking is preferred.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies
using two oven racks, place racks in positions
1 and 3 (Figure 14) and place pans as shown in
Figure 16.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation.
ImpoRTANT
When baking using two oven racks, the pans on
each rack must be swapped half way through the
cook time for best results.
General Baking Tips:
• Preheat the oven 8-10 minutes before baking
items like cookies, biscuits, cakes, and breads.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning
of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the
oven temperature or cook time to prevent
over browning of some foods. Dark pans
are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muns.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening
the door will reduce the temperature in the
oven.
• Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May
require reducing oven temperature.

Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the
oven’s heat uniformly and continuously around the
oven (Figure 18). This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even baking and browning results.
It also gives better baking results when using two
oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows
around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and
flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most
foods baked in a standard pan will bake faster and
more evenly with the convection feature. Multiple
rack baking may slightly increase bake time for
some foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Benefits of Convection Bake:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance.
• Foods bake more evenly.
• Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
ImpoRTANT
When using convection bake, decrease your
normal cooking times. Adjust the cook time for
desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will
vary depending on the amount and type of food
to be cooked.
CAuTIoN
Be aware that the convection fan will continue to
run after the door is opened. This is normal. Use
caution when reaching inside of the oven. Hot air
will be pushed out of the appliance.

• Because most food items will cook faster and
more evenly with the convection feature, it is
advisable to reduce recipe’s recommended
temperature by 25° for best results. Follow
the recipe’s instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.
• When using Conv Bake, cook time reductions
may vary depending on the amount and type
of food being cooked.
• Fully preheat the oven for 8-10 minutes before
baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny

Setting Convection Broil
Use convection broil to cook thicker cuts of meat,
fish, and poultry that require direct exposure to
radiant heat and the convection fan for optimum
browning results. Convection broil gently browns
the exterior and seals in the juices. It uses the broil
element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
evenly and continuously within the oven.
The convection fan will begin rotating once
convection broil has been activated.
Convection Broiling Tips:
• Always pull the rack out to the stop position
before turning or removing food.
• Always broil or convection broil with the oven
door closed.
• For optimum results, preheat the broil element
for 2-to-5 minutes before adding food.
• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn
and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
• Always use the broiler pan and its insert when
broiling, if included. It allows the dripping
grease to be kept away from the high heat of
the broil element.
• Do not use the broil pan without the insert.
Do not cover the broil pan insert with foil. The
exposed grease could catch fire. Do not use the
roasting rack when broiling.
• Since convection broil cooks food quickly,
reduce the cook time by 25% from the
recommended cook time of your recipe (check
the food at this time). If necessary, increase
cook time until the desired doneness is
obtained.

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 bu 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.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic
glass cooktop; they may cause it to crack.

suciently.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned o and the range
is cool. The range may be hot and can cause
burns.
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 o, 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 for heavy or burned on
soils.
do not use the following on the cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring
pads, such as metal and some nylon pads.
They may scratch the cooktop, making it more
dicult 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.

WARNING
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.
Aluminum foil and utensils
• 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.
