IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Surface cooking units
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
Protective Liners–Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire.
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.
Do not operate the cook top without cookware. If the cook top operates without cookware, the control
knobs will become hot.
Never use the glass cook top surface as a cutting board.
Use care when touching the cook top. The glass surface of the cook top will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cook top surface when it is in
use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different size. Select pots
and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface area of the heating element. Using
undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or pan to the burner will also improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage due to unintentional contact
with utensils, position utensil handles so that they are turned inward and do not extend over adjacent
surface units.
Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed cookware can be used for range top service without breaking due to sudden changes in
temperature.
Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct
surface unit.
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
Do not store heavy items above the cook top surface that would fall and damage it.

About the radiant surface elements
The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant 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.
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 cook top. Cycling at the HI setting normal land can occur if the
cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

Oven Cooking Safety Guidelines
Oven Function
WARNING
√ Do not block the ducts on the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is important that theflow of
moist warm air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner never be interrupted.
Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation because they are
hot. Do not pace plastics,paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed.
√ Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line theoor of the oven.The trapped heat can
irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause afire.
√ Do not place water,ice,or any dish or tray directly on the ovenoor,as this will irreversibly damage
the enamel.
√ Do not cover the slotted grid of the broil/roast pan with aluminum foil.This will catch the grease and
could causefire.
√ Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
√ For food safety reasons,do not leave food in the oven for longer than two hours before and after
cooking or defrosting.This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning.
Take care during warmer weather.
√ According to the United Sates Department of Agriculture:
DO NOT hold foods at temperatures between 40°F to 140°F more than 2 hours.Cooking
raw foods below 275°F is not recommended.
√ Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil lining may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.

good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry, and breads. After the oven has reached the desired
temperature, the range will beep six times.
background
OPERATING THE OVEN
Conv Bake
The oven convection fan circulates and distributes the heat in the oven for faster and even cooking.
Convection cooking allows you to bake more items on multiple racks.
To bake using the convection fan:
1. Position the oven bottom cover and the oven shelves before using oven.
2. Remove any unused shelves and baking utensils from the oven.
3. Preheat the oven to the temperature stated in the recipe. Depending on the temperature and the size
of the oven, preheating will take around 15-20 minutes.
4. Arrange pans and food items evenly on the shelves. Make sure pans do not touch each other or
the sides of the oven. When baking a single item, always center the
item on the oven shelf. If baking
on multiple shelves, make sure you stagger items on the shelves so that one is never directly above
another.
5. When baking using convection, either reduce the temperature stated in the recipe and leave the
baking time unchanged, or reduce the baking time by several minutes and leave the temperature
unchanged. For foods with a baking time of over an hour, reducing both the temperature and time
slightly may give the best results.
6. Dark metal baking pans or those with a dull finish absorb heat faster than shiny pans, an dare
excellent for pies and breads, or anything that needs browning or a crisper crust.
7. A shiny finish may work best for foods that require lighter, delicate browning (e.g. cakes and cookies),
as it reflects some heat and gives a less intense baking surface.
8. Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking. How to set the oven for convection bake:
1. Press or to select “Conv Bake” , and then press “Start/OK”.
2. Press or to select the desired temperature, and then press “Start/OK”.
3. Displays cooking time settings, you can press or to select preferred cooking time or press
“Cancel.
4. Press “Start/OK”, or do not set cooktime directly press “Start/OK” and then the oven will work on the
maximum safe time. The temperature display will start to change once the oven.

Conv Roast
For best results use the broiler pan. The pan is use to catch grease spilles and has a cover to
preventgrease splatter. The convection fan circulates heated air over and around the food being roasted,
sealing juices quickly for a moisy and tender product while at the same time creating a rich and golden
brown exterior. Use the broil/roast pan and slotted grid supplied with the range when roasting in order
to elevate the meat on a metal roasting rack. This allows hot air to circulate around the meat, browning
it more evenly like a rotisserie. A suitable roasting rack can be purchased through your CRG by the
distribute or Customer Care.
When roasting larger items like a whole turkey, use only the pan and grid for greater stability.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The oven doesn’t work
(no heating).
No power supply (oven light and
halos do not come on either).
No gas supply (gas ovens).
Check that the circuit breaker hasn’t
tripped and there is no power outage
in your area. If there is a power outage,
you cannot use the oven until power
has been restored. The supply to the
house may not be working or there may
be an outage. Contact your local gas
supplier.
If the bulb is loose, tighten it
If the bulb has blown, replace it ac-
cording to the instructions in section
“Replace Oven Light Bulb”.
Condensation is normal. You ca
n
wipe the drops off the control panel.
If there is frequent or excessive
condensation, make sure that
cabinetry around the range is
moisture-proofed.
This is normal, especially if you are
cooking large quantities of food in the
oven using a CONVECTION mode.
Contact your Authorized Service
Center or Customer Care.
Follow mode selection and clock
settings as specified in Oven
Operation section of the manual.
Adjust time, temperature, or rack
position.
The oven cannot be used until power
is restored.
Is the power on? If not, there may be
something wrong wit
h the power supply.
Is the range supply on at the circuit
breaker?
If turning the temperature down using the
oven control knob has not worked, or has only
worked for a short time, then you may need
a new thermostat. This should be fitted by a
qualified service person.
If you are cooking a large item, be
prepared to turn it round during cooking. If
two shelves are used, check that space has
been left for the heat to circulate. When a
baking tray is put into the oven, make sure
that it is placed centrally on the shelf. Check
that the door seal is not damaged. A dish
of wa
ter when placed on the shelf should
be the same depth all over. (For example,
if it is deeper at the back, then the back of
the range should be raised up or the front
lowered.) If the range is not level, arrange
for your supplier to level it for you.
This is normal.
Moisture from food evaporating
during cooking.
Technical fault.
Incorrect cooking time or temp.
This is the sound of metal heating
