GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Before performing any service, unplug the range
or disconnect the power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching
off the circuit breaker.
■ Do not leave children alone—children should not
be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed
to climb , sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Do not store items of interest to
children above a range or on the backguard of a
range—children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from
steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot
surface
units or heating elements . Do not use a towel
or
other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
■ Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room .
■ Do not touch the surface units , the heating elements
or the interior surface of the oven . These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
the surface units , areas near the surface units or
any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time
for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance
may become hot enough to cause burns . Potentially
hot surfaces include the cooktop , areas facing the
cooktop , oven vent opening , surfaces near the
opening and crevices around the oven door.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers .
Pressure
could build up and the container could burst ,
causing an injury.
■ Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the
oven bottom or anywhere in the oven , except as
described in this manual. Oven liners can trap heat
or melt , resulting in damage to the product and
risk
of shock , smoke or fire .
■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook
tops or control panels . Doing so may lead to
glass
breakage . Do not cook on a product with
broken
glass . Shock, fire or cuts may occur.
■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly— meat to at
least
an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to
at
least an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking
to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness .
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk
of tipping the range,
the
range must be secured by a properly
installed
anti-tip bracket. See installation
instructions
shipped with the bracket for
complete
details before attempting to install.
For
Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
To
check if the bracket is installed
and
engaged properly
, look underneath the
range
to see that the rear leveling leg is
engaged in the bracket. On some models , the storage drawer or kick panel
can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible,
slide the range forward , confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to
the floor or wall , and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is
under
the anti-tip bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this
procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.
Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
Tip-Over Hazard
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.

COOKTOP
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Never leave the surface units unattended at medium
or high heat settings . Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire .
■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets . Use a deep fry thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature .
■ 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 .
■ Only certain types of glass , glass/ceramic ,
earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable
for cooktop service; others may break because of
the sudden change in temperature .
■ To minimize the possibility of burns , ignition of
flammable materials and spillage , the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units .
■ When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on .
IN
THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS
TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan . Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well-fitting lid , cookie sheet or flat
tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher .
■ If there is a fire in the oven during baking,
smother
the fire by closing the oven door and turning the
oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher .
■ If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean,
turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not
force the door open . Introduction of fresh air at self-
clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame
from the oven . Failure to follow this instruction may

do not
let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven .
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven ,
follow the manufacturer ’s directions.
■ Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven . This
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of
the door and oven walls .
■ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking
utensils
or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored
in
an oven can ignite.
■ Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones,
or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These
items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage
to
the product and risk of shock , smoke or fire.
GLASS
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
■ Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass
cooktop
should break , cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop
can be scratched with items such as knives , sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry , and rivets on
clothing.
■ Use ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-scratch
cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the
cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out
before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot
surface can cause steam burns . Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception . They should
be scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt
and a scraper . See the Cleaning the glass cooktop
section for detailed instructions .
■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the
cleaning cream label.
■ Do not place or store items that can melt or catch
fire on the glass cooktop , even when it is not
being
used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on , they
may ignite . Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after
it is turned off may cause them to ignite also .
■ Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids on the cooktop surface since they
can get hot.

How does induction work?
Most cooking uses radiant heat that must pass through the cookware to get food hot. Induction is a
process that induces heat with an energy reac tion . When each cooking zone is turned on , power goes
to a coil under the cooktop. The powered coil creates an electromagnetic field. The electro magnetic
field reacts with compatible materials in cookware, creating heat in the cookware itself. The power
level controls the heating level , delivering precise results .
Induction Benefits
Because heat starts in the cookware instead of the cooktop , induction offers several advantages .
Cleaner cooking : Because induction works by heating the cookware and not the cooktop , spills don ’t
cook or stick to the surface .
Cooler Cooktop : An induction cooktop will be
cooler when you remove cookware than a conventional cooktop would be . The only radiant heat
produced in induction is from the cookware itself , so the kitchen stays cooler , too .
Fast Heating : Cookware will heat up faster than on a conventional electric cooktop . Pay close atten-
tion to avoid scorching food when starting to cook . You may need to use a lower setting for cooking
food than you are used to .
Precise Control : The heat going into the cookware will change immediately when you change the set -
ting of the cooking zone .
Even Heating : Cookware will typically heat more evenly on an induction cooktop , so you are less
likely to have hot or cool spots in the cookware .
Energy Efficiency: Because induction creates heat directly in the pan , it us es less electricity than a
conventional cooktop .
Before Using Your Cooktop
Before 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 buff with a clean
paper towel . Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass that will make cleaning
easier when the cooktop is soiled from cooking and help prevent scratches and abrasions .
Although induction cooking zones do not produce heat , they can become hot from contact with hot
cookware . Burns may occur if a cooking zone or the surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a
safe temperature .
Sounds
The magnetic field over the induction cooking zo ne may cause cookware to vibrate , creating a buzzing
or humming noise . These sounds are not unusual , especially at high settings .
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Cookware that is not perfectly flat on the bottom may
vibrate slightly against the cooktop .
WARNING
16
Figure 1 : Induction sounds
Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier , higher quality cookware .
An induction cooktop may also produce faint clicking sounds from the electronic switches that main -
tain the desired cooking temperature . You may also hear a fan that cools the electronics inside the
cooktop .
NOTE
Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction cooktop cleaning in the “ Care and Cleaning ”
section and “ Before You Call ” checklist section of this Use and Care Manual .
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will infl uence the heat setting needed for best cooking results . Be
sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figure 2 .
Figure 2 : Testing cookware
Cookware Material Types
Cookware material is especially important when using an induction cooktop . The cookware must
contain magnetic iron or steel to work on an induction cooktop . Common materials for induction
cookware include the following :
• Stainless Steel - Slow heat conductor . Durable , easy to clean , and resists staining . Some types of
stainless steel will not work on an induction cooktop . Use the magnet test (see “ Figure 4:Magnet
test”) to check stainless steel cookware .
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
A loose handle may vibrate in its socket .
Multi-material cookware may allow small
vibrations in its structure .
Check for flat ness by
rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(see Figure 2 ) .
Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good
contact with the entire
surface of the
heating element (see
Figure 3) .
17
Figure 4: Magnet test
If the magnet clings firm ly to the bottom of the cookware , it will work on your induction
cooktop . If the magnet clings weakly or not at all , the cookware will not heat up on your
induction cooktop .
CAUTION
Proper cookware on an operating induction cooking zone will heat up very quickly . If an empty piece of
cookware is left on an operating induction cooking zone , the rapid change in temperature may warp or
damage the cookware .
Pan Sensing
When the cooktop is on , the cooking zones automatically detect when cookware is placed on the zone . The
control for that zone will light up , making it easy to kno w which section of the control to use for that cooking
zone .
Error message . Displayed if the cookware on an element is unsuitable , too small , or if no cookware has
been placed on the cooking zone .
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains heat very well . Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on the base material . Porcelain-
enamel on a compatible metal will work on an induction cooktop . Use the magnet test to check
porcelain-enamel cookware .
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your induction cooktop , try to stick a magnet to it . If the magnet
clings fi rm ly to the bottom of the cookware , the cookware will work on your induction cooktop .
Cookware sold as induction-ready will often have a symbol printed on the bottom by the manufacturer .

to a safe temperature .
• Do not place fla mmable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers , spoon holders , or plastic wrapping
on top of the range when it is in use . Heat radiating from cookware could cause these items to melt or
ignite . Potholders , towels , or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to hot cookware .
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop .Improper installation of these liners may result
in risk of electric shock or fire. If these items melt on the cooktop , they will damage the cooktop .

Home Canning
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) Website and be sure to read all the
information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures .
• Use only a completely flat bottom can ner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when
home canning . Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat . Use a straight-edge to
check can ner bottom .
• Make sure the diameter of the can ner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings
or burner .
• It is recommended to use smaller di ameter can ners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and
to center can ners on the burner grates .
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly .
• Use the highest heat setting 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 Agri-
cultural 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 .

According to the united sates Department of Agriculture: DO NOT hold foods at temperatures
between40℉to140℉more than2hours. cooking raw foods below275℉is not recommended.
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
withmaterials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may
causecarbon monoxide poisoning, Aluminum foil lining may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
oven cooking safety Guidelines
Do not block the ducts on the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is important that the flow 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 place
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 the floor of the oven. The trapped heat can
irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause a fire.
Do not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, 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
cause a fire.
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 andafter cooking
or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause foodpoisoning.Take care
during warmer weather.

OPERATING THE OVEN
23 .Preheat the oven to the temperature stated in the recipe . Depending on the temperature and
the size of the oven , preheating will vary. For better cooking performance and exact oven
cavity temperature , preheating time will be 10 mins per 100 Degrees .
24. 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 item so the shelves so that one is
never directly above another:
25 .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 .
26 . Dark metal baking pans or those with a dull finish absorb heat faster than shiny pans , and
are excellent for pies and breads , or anything that needs browning or a crisper crust.
27.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.
28 .Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking.
29.For best results use the broiler pan . The pan is used to catch grease spills and has a cover to
prevent grease splatter.
30.The convection fan circulates heated air over and the around the food being roasted ,sealing
juices quickly for a moist and tender product while , at the same time , creating a rich golden-
brown exterior.
31.Use the broil/roast pan and slotted grid supplied with the range when roasting 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 RSI distributor by calling customer care .
32. When roasting larger items like a whole turkey , use only the pan and grid for greater stability.
33.Convection Defrost:With temperature control off, a motorized fan in the rear of the oven
circulates air .The fan accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid illness
and food waste , do not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours
without being cooked.
34.Defrosting:To thaw uncooked frozen food , set the oven temperature to 100-150' F. Once
thawed , cook the food immediately and do not re-freeze .
To prevent liquid from thawing food dripping on the oven floor, be sure any uncooked food is
tightly wrapped in foil and/or placed in a heat proof container.
35:Convection Dehydration:With the temperature control on 175F , warm air is radiated from the
bake burners on the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of
the oven .The food dries by evaporation . Drying foods inhibits microbial growth and retains
certain enzymes.
27
OPERATING THE OVEN
Door must be closed during broiler operation . Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of
meat directly under the infrared broiler in the oven . Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the
oven door closed. It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a
broiled flavor. If you open the oven door to check the food , have it open for as short a time as
possible . This is to prevent the control panel from overheating and prevents melted knobs.Use
both the broil/roast pan and slotted grid supplied. The grid helps to reduce smoking and splatter
by letting grease drip into the bottom of the pan ,away from intense heat. To prevent food
sticking, spray the grid with a light coating of non-stick cooking-spray.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (Remove the broiler pan before preheating
with the infrared broiler. Foods will stick to hot metal. To preheat, turn the fi oven fl selector knob
to the Broil position .wait for the burner to become hot ,approximately 2 minutes . preheating is
not necessary when broiling meat well-done .
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 fi stop fl position before turning or removing food.
Setting Broil
The oven selector knob controls the Broil feature . When broiling , heat radiates downward from
the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature temperature is 500℉ (260℃).
The broil pan and insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high-heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert.
DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. To set the oven
to Broil:
1 . Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan . Then place the food on the broiler pan insert.
2 . Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the
broiler pan and position directly under the broil burner . If preheating the broil burner first ,
position the broiler pan after the broil burner is preheated.
3. Turn selector knob to broil.
The oven indicator light will remain on until the selector knob is turned to the off position or
the temperature control cycles off.
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 fi stop fl position before turning or removing food.
Broiling guidelines
Choose a suitable shelf position . To ensure that meat is cooked through rather than just
browned on the outside , broil thick pieces of meat and poultry on shelf positions 2 or 3 . use
shelf position 4 for thinner items that need less cooking time like steaks , chops , or hamburger
patties . when finishing off meals by browning the top under the broiler ,use metal or glass-ceramic
bakeware. Do not use heat-proof glass or earthenware, as these cannot withstand the intense heat
of the broiler. C enter the item in the oven , so that it is directly under the broiler.

Cleaning the Cooktop
The cook top surface is a porcelain-enamel surface . To prevent this surface from
becoming dull ,
wipe up and clean spills as they happen. Foods with a lot of acid(for example, tomatoes, sauer-
kraut, and fruit juices) or foods with high sugar content can cause dull spots if allowed to set.
Daily use of a ceramic cook top cleaner helps keep the cook top looking new .
Use only a ceramic cook top cleaner. Other creams may not be as effective.By
following these steps , you can maintain and protect the surface of the glass cook top.
Before using the cook top for the first time , clean it with a ceramic cook top cleaner.
This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier:
