Before Setting Oven Controls
OVEN VENT
C _
Oven Vent Location
For models equipped with ceramic cooktops, the oven vent is located under
the left rear side of the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air is
released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation
in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks
AL WAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE 0 VEN IS COOL (PRIOR
TO OPERA lING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides
on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the element outline on the cooktop. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only fiat-
bottomed cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their
settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas
surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the
selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating
element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent
heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the
heating element, concentrating heat inthe heating zone. For
efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking
is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking
process.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructionsfor ceramic glass cooktop
cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before You Call
checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small
for the radiant element or ifthe cookware bottom isnot flat.
