ture above 0°C/32°F for at teast 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
mMPORTANT mNSTRUCTmONS FOR USmNG
YOUR COOKTOP
o Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes, Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit, The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing, Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency,
Utensil HandJes ShouJd BeTumed Inward and ShouJd
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units--To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable 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
unit,
o Never Leave Surface Units Unattended--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a
pan that has boiled dry may melt,
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 used of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or a short circuit,
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,
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers, If an
element 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,
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
o Do Not Ctean or Operate a Broken Cooktop --If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken coektop and create a risk of
electric shock, Contact a qualified technician
CJean Cooktop GJass 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,

Model B shown Only - Figure 2
NOTE: PUease read detailed instructions for
ceramic gUass cooktop cUeaning in the General
Care & Cteaning section and Before You Call
checklist section of this Use and 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 if the cookware bottom
is not flat (Refer to page 12 under Selecting
Surface Cooking Utensils).
About the Ceramic G_ass 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 (See Figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware.
Only flat-bottom 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 E_ements
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 E_ements 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:
Mode/A (See Figure 1):
- Two dual 5 or 7 inch radiant element at the right and left rear position;
- Two duaI 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right and left front position;
Model B (see Figures 1 and 2) and Model C (Figure 1):
- One 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;
- One 6 or one 8 inch radiant element at the left rear position (varies with
models);
- A dua! 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A 6 or one 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position (varies
with models);
Model D (Figure 1):
- A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;
- A duat 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- Two 8 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and rear
positions.
- Between left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant element. The
BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using the same knob that controls
the left front radiant element position.
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface
elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element will be
turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to
its original white color after it has completely cooled down. (White glass
cooktops only).

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor, Some types of food wiii cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting), if aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass 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 above),
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results, is durable, easy to clean and resists staining,
CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however wiii retain heat very well, Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached,
Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops,
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics wiii 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,
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2°4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for properaircirculation and be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity, The hot
air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food,

Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
o In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and
on top of the rack (for example, roils or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole
o In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty
dishware (for example, roils or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack,
Set the Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown aside (Figure 1),
Operating the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature, Always start with hot food, It is not recommended to heat cold food in
the Warmer Drawer, A[[ food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality, Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be verydifficu[t to clean. Use only utensils
and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer,
Always use potho[ders or oven mitts when removing food from the
Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates w[[[ be hot and you can be burned,
Warmer Drawer Temperature Selection
Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 2, Ifa particular food
is not listed, start with the MED setting, If more crispness is desired, remove the lid
or aluminum foil from the food, Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on
the MED setting, When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance,
meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting, To avoid heat loss, do not open
the Warmer Drawer while in use,

tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven,
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks, (Remove the broiler pan before
preheating, Foods will stick if placed on hot metal,) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to
BROIL as instructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide, Wait for the element to become
red-hot, usually about 2 minutes, Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done,
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side, Season and
serve, Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food,
Determining Broiting Times
Broiling times vary so watch the food closely, Time not only depends on the distance from
the element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred, The
first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second, Frozen meats also require
additional time,
Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler,
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven,
if the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher, DO NOT
put water or flour on the fire, Flour may be explosive,
Grid
\
Broiler Pan
Broiler Chart-Up Tips:
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil, DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil,
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed, Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot, Pour off grease, Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water,
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use, if necessary, use soap°filled steel wool pads, Heavy scouring
may scratch the grid,

Consistent and proper cleaning iS essential to maintaining y0ur ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CERAMA BRYTE@ Cleaning Creme to the ceramic
surface, Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad, This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking, The
special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective 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, Do not slide anything metal or gJass 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, or they may crack it,
_ Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL,
I_ 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,
C_eaning Recommendations for the Ceramic G_ass Cooktop
For light to moderate soiJ:
Apply a few drops of CERAMA BRYTE@ Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop, Use a paper towel or a Multi-Purpose No
Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop sudace, Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no
residue, Do not use the sponge 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, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper,
holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the sudace, Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface
clean,
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use any scrub pad
other than a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge,
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic
cooktop sudace, Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if
not removed immediately, After turning the surface elements OFR use a razor blade
scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illus°
trated), Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils,
21
Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktep (Continued)
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
, Do not use abrasive cJeaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some
nyJon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficuJt to ctean.
, Do not use harsh cleaners, such as cHorine bleach, ammonia or oven
cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
o Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper toweJs, as they can leave soil or tint

CJeaning the SeJf-CJean Oven (some modeJs)
Adhere to the following cJeaning precautions:
- AHow the oven to cooUbefore cbaning.
- Wear rubber gbves when cbaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the serf-dean cycb, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch, DO NOT have
small children unattended near the appliance,
The heaUth of some birds is extremeUy sensitive to the fumes given off during the seff-cbaning cycle of any
range, Move birds to another well ventilated room,
Before cbaning any part of the oven, be sure the eUectronb oven controU is turned off or else push CANCEL
pad, Wait until the oven is cool,
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art 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 cteaning materiaJs on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT use
aJuminum foit 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 temperatures) which eliminate soil completely
or reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth,
Clean

Clean Door Clean Seal
Preparing the Oven for Self-Charting
1, Remove all 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 heavy smoke or fire 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 filling) to remain on the surface as they may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning,
2, Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration),
These areas heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on,
Clean with soap and water,
3, Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil, These items do
not withstand high cleaning temperatures
4, Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed, if they go through
the clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull, After the cycle is com-
pleted and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper
or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil, This will make
the racks glide easier,
What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking, Sounds of
metal expansion and contraction are normal, Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed, Smoke may appear
through the oven vent, located on the top of the control panel,
if heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual, This is
normal and safe and should not cause alarm, if available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle,
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor,

Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level, When range is level, cooktop
may appear out of alignment if countertop is not level, (2) Weak, unstable floor, Be sure
floor is level and can adequately support range, Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or
sloping floor, (3) Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel, Be
sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance,
(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tight, Contact a cabinet maker to correct the
problem, (2) Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible, (3) Carpeting
interferes with range, Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet,
(1) Make sure cord/plug is tightly into outlet, (2) Service wiring is not complete, (3} Power
outage, Check house lights to be sure, Call your local electric company for service,
(1) This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller, Among the many
features is a fuji time oven circuit diagnostics system, The controller constantly monitors
the internal circuitry as weii as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are aii operating
correctly, if at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the
current operation and beep continuously (flashing an error code of "F1, F2, F3", or"F9" in
the controller display window, (2) Electronic control has detected a fault condition, Press
STOP/CLEAR to clear the display and stop the beeping, Reprogram oven, if fault remains,

heavyweight cookware, Fiat 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,
(1) Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corro-
sion, Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after spillover, (2) Normal environ-
ment, Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air, Protect bowls as much as possible
from direct exposure to salt air,
(1) Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop
surface, This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls, DO NOT use
cookware of this type, Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element, Replace-
ment drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer,
(1) Coarse particles such as salt or sand 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, (2} Cleaning
