USING THE COOKTOP
The ceramic cooking area will glow red when a heating element is on. Some parts of the cooktop may
not glow red when an element is on. This is normal. The cooking area cycles off and on, even when set
to HI, to keep the cooktop glass from overheating. It is normal for the surface of ceramic glass to appear
to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage from pitting or scratching, and to keep the cooktop surface
in good condition, clean the cooktop after each use. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop
scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh
chemicals for cleaning. All of the items to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop are available
at most grocery stores. See the “Range Care” section for additional information.
• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can
leave deposits when heated.
• Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could
crack the cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can
become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is
removed.
• For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills as soon as possible. If sugary spills are allowed
to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
• Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly.
• While wearing oven mitts, remove the spill using a scraper while the surface is still warm.
• To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms
and rough nishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

• Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum
marks that cannot be removed completely.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil,
to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
BEFORE USE:
1. If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.
2. Clean your glass top. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended. It only takes a
minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial use.
3. Place a saucepan of water on each of the front burners and turn them on HI heat for at least 30
minutes. Turn off the front burners.
4. Place a saucepan of water on each of the rear burners and turn them on HI heat for at least 30
minutes. Turn off the rear burners
HEATING ELEMENTS:
NOTES:
• For fastest boiling with pots 10" (25.4 cm) and larger, use the large Triple-ring element with all elements
set to “HI.”
• For best low heat performance with pans 10" (25.4 cm) and larger, use the Dual-Size element set to
“Single Lo.”
• For best melting performance with small pans, use the Triple Ring element.
HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHT are located on the glass cooktop... The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will
glow as long as any cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off.
DUAL-RING COOKING ELEMENT offer the exibility to use larger cookware.
• Single-size elements can be used in the same way as a regular element.
• The dual-size combines both the single and outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
NOTE:
• This procedure evaporates any protective oils and humidity collected during the manufacturing process,
and enables the electronic control circuits to operate properly.
• There may be a slight odor during the rst several uses: this is normal and will dissipate.
• The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes after the elements have been turned
off.

TRIPLE-RING ELEMENT offers exibility because it features a wide range of settings.
• The High heat option can be used to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. To reduce the power setting,
turn the knob clockwise.
• The Melt setting is designed for delicate foods that require low heat, such as when melting chocolate or
holding sauces. Use cookware appropriate in size for the triple-ring Element.
WARMING ZONE ELEMENT
• Use the Warming Zone element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum
time recommended to maintain food quality.
• Do not use the Warming Zone element to heat cold foods.
• The Warming Zone element can be used alone or when any of the other surface cooking areas are being
used.
• The Warming Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, the hot surface indicator
will glow while the Warming Zone element is in use.
• Use only cookware recommended for cooktop use.
• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods allow a small opening in the
cover for moisture to escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.
• Use pot holders to remove food.
• Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
• Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
• Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, sh, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the
refrigerator rst. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before
cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when nished cooking.

COOKWARE
The choice of pan directly affects the cooking performance(speed and uniformity). For best results, select
pans with the following features.
Flat Base: Use at-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efciently. Cookware with
rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking.
• Determine atness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you
rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
• Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.
Match Pan Diameter to Element:
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
• Aluminum: Heat and cool quickly. It can be used for frying, braising and roasting, but may leave metal
marks on the glass.
• Cast iron: Heat and cool slowly, but it retain heat and cook evenly.
• Copper: Heat and cool quickly. Best for gourmet cooking, wine, sauce, egg dishes.
• Enamel ware: The reaction depends on the base metal. Not recommended. Flaws in the enamel may
scratch the cooktop.
• Glass ceramics: Heat and cool slowly,. Not recommended. The heat is too slow. Flaws may scratch the
cooktop.
• Stainless steel: Heat and cool quickly. Suitable for soups, sauces, vegetables and general cook.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro organisms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed
completely. When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained
for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the
required time. After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil
or pressure levels are maintained for the required time. Failure to do so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.

PREHEATING
When beginning a Bake, Convection Bake or Convection Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after
Start pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven
racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat.
The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above
your set temperature to offset the heat lost when you open the oven door to place the food on the rack.
This ensures that cooking will begin at the proper temperature. Do not open the door while the oven is
preheating. When the oven has heated to the set temperature, a tone will sound. You can then open the
door and place food in the oven.
OVEN MODES
BAKE
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air but no
fan is used to circulate the heat. Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature,
time and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size, shape and
nish of the baking utensil.The temperature can be set from 170°F (77°C) to 500°F (260°C).
GENERAL GUIDELINES
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 11/2" (2.5 - 4 cm) space between bakeware
and oven walls.
• Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
• Check for doneness at the minimum time.
• Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick nish), heatproof glass, glass ceramic, pottery or other
utensils suitable for the oven.
• When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from recommended temperature.
• Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning. Insulated bake ware will slightly
lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
• Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the oven. Foil is an excellent
heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will alter the cooking performance and can damage
the nish of the oven.
• Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.
• See Troubleshooting for tips to Solving Baking and Roasting Problems.

BROIL
“Broil” uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker
cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, sh and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
NOTES:
• Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
• For best results, use a two-piece broiler pan with a grid (not provided). It is designed to drain juices which
helps to avoid spatter and smoke.
• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum
foil for easier cleaning.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
• Select HI Broil 550°F (288°C) for most broiling. Select LO Broil 450°F (232°C) for low-temperature broiling
for foods that take longer to cook, such as poultry, to avoid over browning.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the
loss of juices. Very thin cuts of sh, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if
left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difcult.
• Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it

CONVECTION MODES
During convection cooking, the fan provides hot air circulation throughout the oven. The movement of
heated air around the food can help to speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food
cooks more evenly, browning and crisping outer surfaces while sealing moisture inside. When the oven
is set to the Convection function, the ring element, bake and broil elements, and the fan operate to heat
the oven cavity. If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or preheating, the fan turns off
immediately and the element(s) will turn off after 30 seconds. Once the door is closed, the element(s) will
automatically turn on.
CONVECTION FAN
The convection fan operates during any convection mode. When the oven is operating in convection
mode, the fan will turn off automatically when the door is opened. The convection fan may run in non-
convection modes during the preheat time.
CONVECTION BAKE
• Use Convection Bake for single or multiple rack baking. Reduce standard recipe baking temperature by
25°F (15°C).
• For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans to take advantage of the forced
air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans for best results unless otherwise specied.
• Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature by another 25°F(15°C) when using
heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50°F (30°C).
• Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster indarkmetal bakeware.
• The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be cooked.
• Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’t try to convert recipes such
as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes, which do not benet from the convection-heating
process. Use the regular Bake modefor these foods.
• Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is done on rack positions 1, 2, 3 , 4 and 5. All ve positions can be used
for cookies, biscuits and appetizers.
- 2 Rack baking: Use positions 1 and 3.
- 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3 and 4 or 1, 3 and 5.
• When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans so that one pan is not directly above
another. For best results, place cakes on front of upper rack and back of lower rack. Allow 1" - 11/2" (2.5 -4
cm) air space around pans.

• Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine the internal doneness.
• Double-check the internal temperature of meat or poultry by inserting meat thermometer into another
position.
• Large poultry may need to be covered with foil (and pan roasted) during a portion of the roasting time
to prevent over-browning.
• The minimum safe temperature for stufng in poultry is 165ºF (75ºC).
• After removing the food from the oven, cover loosely with foil for 10 to 15 minutes before carving if
necessary to increase the nal food stuff temperature by 5° to 10°F (3° to 6° C).

Rangaire: Product Installation
• It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the warm cooktop.
• Hold the cooktop scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue.
It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue.
• Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.
2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of cooktop cleaner to the affected areas.
• Rub cooktop cleaner onto the cooktop surface with a nylon or similar cooktop cleaning pad. Some
pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.
• Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3.

BURN HAZARD
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to do so can result in burns.
BURN HAZARD
OVEN SELF CLEANING
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and
well-ventilated room.
NOTES:
• Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more
smoke.
• Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
• Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Self- Clean feature. If your oven cavity is
above 170°F (77°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Self-Clean cycle will not activate until
it cools down.
• The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle. On some models, the surface elements will not
work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
• When “LOCK” shows in the display, the oven door cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not
force the door open when “LOCK” is displayed.
Prepare Oven:
• Remove the broiler pan, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the
oven.
• Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more
information.
• Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.
• Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain
not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do
not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.
• Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with
porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.
To Self-Clean:
NOTE: The oven is preset for a 2.5 hour Cleaning cycle; however, the Cleaning time can be adjusted.
Suggested cleaning times are:
2 Hours - Light soil
