IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORUSINGYOURCOOKTOP

• Knowwhichknobcontrolseachsurfaceheatingunit.Always turn the knob to the

LITE position when igniting the burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust

the ame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Useproperpansize.This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of

different sizes. Select utensils having at bottoms large enough to cover the surface

burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface burner to

direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the

surface burner will also improve efciency.

• Utensilhandlesshouldbeturnedinwardandnotextendoveradjacentsurface

burners—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spillage due

to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil should be positioned

so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Neverleavesurfaceburnersunattendedathighheatsettings—Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

WarNiNg

In case of re or gas leak, be sure to turn off the main gas shutoff valve.

WarNiNg

Use proper ame size—Adjust ame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The

use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner ame to direct contact and may result in

ignition of clothing. Proper relation of utensil to ame will also improve cooking efciency.

WarNiNg

Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a

sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide

levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

cautioN

electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the

rst time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to

a temperature above 0°c/32°f for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

Safety

• Protectiveliners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the

appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed

on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of

electric shock or re or short circuit.

• Glazedcookingutensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations

for rangetop use.

• Aircurtainorotheroverheadrangehoods,whichoperatebyblowingadownward

airowontoarange,shallnotbeusedinconjunctionwithgasrangesotherthan

whenthehoodandrangehavebeendesigned,testedandlistedbyanindepen-

denttestlaboratoryforuseincombinationwitheachother.

• Donotusedecorativesurfaceburnercovers. If a burner is accidentally turned

on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot

covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because

the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause

combustion problems.

• 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 qualied 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

• Usecarewhenopeningovendoororwarmerdrawer(ifequipped)—Stand to the

side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape

before you remove or replace food in the oven/ warmer drawer.

• Keepovenventductsunobstructed. The oven vent is located under the cooktop.

Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns.

Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items

could melt or ignite.

• Placementofoven/warmerdrawer(ifequipped)racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. If rack must be moved

while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both

hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven/

warmer drawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Donotusethebroilerpanwithoutitsinsert. The broiler pan and its insert allow

dripping fat to drain and be kept 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touchahotlightbulbwithadampcloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to

break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing

and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORCLEANINGYOURRANGE

• Cleantherangeregularlytokeepallpartsfreeofgreasethatcouldcatch

re.Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease lters should be kept clean. Do not

allow grease to accumulate on hood or lter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch

re. When you are aming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood

manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

SurfaceCooking

flaMe size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to

complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper ame size for

various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being

cooked will inuence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly.

If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food

will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too

much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*FlameSize TypeofCooking

High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling

Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam

Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*Thesesettingsarebasedonusingmedium-weightaluminumpanswith

lids.Settingsmayvarywhenusingothertypesofpans.

Never extend the ame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher ame

simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the

ame.

PRoPeR buRneR adjustMents

The color of the ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good ame is clear, blue

and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of ame should be steady and sharply

dened. Adjust or clean burner if ame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions

under GeneralCare&Cleaning.

always place the simmer plate on the grate before to turn on the burner.

always use potholders to remove the simmer plate from the grate. allow the simmer plate to cool

before removing. Do not set hot simmer plate on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat; such as

countertops.

be sure the simmer plate is positioned correctly and stable before use to prevent hot spills and

possible burns.

SurfaceCooking

settinG suRface contRols

Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners:

Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking needs.

Large Burner: best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when

preparing larger quantities of food.

Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food

being prepared. Select a burner and ame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow ames

to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Your cooktop is also equipped with 270° rotation ame control valves. These valves

provide enhanced control of the burner ame. Each burner lights automatically from an

electric ignitor when its control knob is turned to the LITE position.

RegularBurner-Fig.2

DualBurner-Fig.2

cautioN

do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons

could catch re if placed too close to a ame.

Tooperatethesurfaceburner:

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

2. Pushinandturn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note:All electronic

ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning

on will ignite.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Turn the control knob to the desired ame size. The control knobs do not

have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the ame as

needed. DONOTcook with the Surface Control knob in the LITE position.

(The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position, causing

premature wear.)

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit

manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then

slowly turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface

burners manually.

convection bakinG

Use the Convection Bake feature when fast cooking is desired. The oven can be

programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°F and 550°F.

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within

the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and

browning results at a lower temperature than conventional bake. It also gives better baking

results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.

Convection bake cooks most foods faster and more evenly than conventional bake. For

baking efciency, the fan rotates slower in Convection Bake than in Convection Roast.

GeneralConvectionBakeInstructions

1. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary

depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked.

2. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to

allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark nish

will cook faster.

TosettheoventoConvectionBakeat350°F

1. Arrange interior oven racks, place food in oven and close oven door.

2. Turn the selector control knob to ConvBake. The corresponding indicator light will ash.

3. Turn the temperature control knob to 350. The indicator light will stop ashing and

the oven will begin to heat. A beep will sound once the oven reaches 350°F. The

indicator light will remain on until the Selector or Temperature control knob is turned

to the Off position.

4. When baking is completed, turn the temperature and selector control knobs to Off position.

convection RoastinG

This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when roasting. All baking

modes can be used to successfully roast in your oven. However, the Convection Roast

mode is recommended to produce meats that are deliciously seared on the outside and

succulently juicy on the inside in less time. The oven can be programmed to convection

roast at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F. Remember to use tested recipes with

times adjusted for convection roasting when using the convection mode. Times may be

reduced by as much as 30% when using the convection feature. For roasting efciency,

the fan rotates faster in Convection Roast than in Convection Bake. When preparing

meats for convection roasting, use the broiler pan and insert along with a roasting rack.

The roasting rack will allow to heat to circulate around the meat.

ToSettheoventoConvectionRoastat350°F

For an optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes.

to broil

Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and

serve. Always pull the rack out to the «stop» position before turning or removing food.

broiling tips

The broiler pan and it grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high

heat of the broiler.

broiling times

Use the following table for approximate broiling times. Increase or decrease broiling times,

or move the broiling pan to a different rack position to suit for doneness. If the food you

are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and

watch the item closely.

the health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the

self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

DONOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part

of the self-cleaning oven. DONOTclean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven

door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the

gasket. DONOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO

NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt

and damage the oven surface.

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking tempera-

tures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a ne powdered ash you can whisk

away with damp cloth.

Preparing the oven for self-cleaning

1. Removeanyexcessspillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning

cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause smoke or

a re when subjected to high temperatures. DONOTallow food spills with a high sugar

or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to remain on the

surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These areas

heat sufciently during a self-clean to burn soil on. Clean with hot soapy water.

3. Remove all utensils and any foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning tempera-

tures.

4. Oven racks and oven rack supports must be removed. If they are not removed the self-

cleaning cycle cannot start and the “ Racks” Indicator Light will begin to ash indicating

that you must remove the racks and rack gliders with the supports before starting the

clean cycle. When the cycle has nished and the door can be opened, replace the oven

the oven rack supports and oven racks.

slots using a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards wipe using a damp

cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean.

Should you experience ignition problems it may be that an ignition port hole is partially

blocked with soil (see gs 1 & 2). With the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge

needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port or ports.

iMPortaNt

When placing the burner caps on the cooktop, be sure the burner caps are seated firmly on top of burner

heads. Improper flame size and uneven heating may result when any surface burners are turned ON and

the burner caps are not seated correctly.

GeneralCare&Cleaning

cooktoP cleaninG and Maintenance

Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply the recommended Cleaning Creme to

the ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme is supplied with your appliance and

you will nd it in store. Clean and buff with a paper towel. This will make cleaning easier

when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective nish

on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop glass can cause metal mark-

ings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cook-

top 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. Donotslideanythingmetalorglass across the cooktop. Donot use

your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Donot cook foods directly

on the cooktop surface without a pan. Donot drop heavy or hard objects on the glass

cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Glass cooktoP

consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop

cautioN

before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to off and the cooktop is cool.

WarNiNg

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.

Forlighttomoderatesoil:

Apply a few drops of Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use

a 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:

First, clean the surface as described above. Then, if soils remain,

protect your hand with a potholder and 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 surface clean.

Glass cooktoP (continued)

Plasticorfoodswithahighsugarcontent:

These types of soils 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 on previous page).

Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

cautioN

damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use scrub pad.

Donotusethefollowingontheceramicglasscooktop:

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

andsomenylonpads.Theymayscratchthecooktop,makingit

SpecialCautionforAluminumFoilandAluminumCookingUtensils

•Aluminumfoil-Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not

use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow foil to touch the ceramic

cooktop under ANY circumstances.

•Aluminumutensils-The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other met-

als. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If allowed

to boil dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the

ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

sPecial dooR caRe instRuctions

Most oven doors contain glass that can break.

Read the following recommendations:

1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.

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

3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an

increased risk of breakage at a later time.
