OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Oven Light: Turns the oven light on when selected.
• Bake: Used for traditional baking. The top and bottom heating elements are used along with natural
thermal convection currents to distribute the heat. It is best to bake on only one shelf at a time using this
function to ensure the best result.
• Pastry Bake: Similar to Bake but this setting also has a fan to circulate hot air around the oven. This is ideal
for food items that need a strong heat source on the bottom but still require some heat on the top, like pies,
cakes, and tarts.
• Low Broil: Perfect for browning dishes at the end of cooking. For optimal results, use in conjunction with
the Broil temperature setting.
• High Broil: Best for melting cheese, toasting and browning. This function should only be used for 5 minutes
or less. For optimal results, use in conjunction with the Broil temperature setting.
• Fan Grill: Utilizes a high heat grilling element and fan to circulate hot air throughout the oven. Ideal for
cooking large cuts of meats so that they are moist inside and crisp on the outside. Use a thermometer to
check the internal temperature.
NOTE: It is recommended to set the temperature no higher than 400°F.
• Convection Cooking: Utilizes the powerful heating element surrounding the fan to evenly distribute heat
throughout the oven. This is great for multi-shelf cooking because the fan ensures each rack is heated.
• Defrost: Circulates air at room temperature to defrost food.

COOKTOP USE
BEFORE USE
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 condition to the cooktop
surface, 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 needed 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 al-
lowed 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.
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.
NOTES:
• 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.

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 Even-Heat™ element.
On ceramic glass cooktops the Hot Surface Indicator lights 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.
The Dual-Size Cooking Element offers 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.
MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO ELEMENT
The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used.

COOKTOP
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
• Aluminum: heats and cools quickly. Frying, braising, roasting. May leave metal markings on glass.
• Cast Iron: on a glass cooktop heats and cools slowly, but retains heat and cooks evenly.
• Copper: tin heats and cools quickly. Best used for gourmet cooking, wine sauces, egg dishes.
• Enamel ware: response depends on base metal. Not recommended. Imperfections in enamel may
scratch cooktop.
• Glass Ceramic: heats and cools slowly. Not recommended. Heats too slowly. Imperfections in enamel
may scratch cooktop.
• Stainless Steel: heats and cools moderately. Soups, sauces, vegetables, and general cooking.
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.
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop.
• When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between
batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners
should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
• Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.
• On ceramic glass models, use only at-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and
elements.
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension ofce, or refer to published home canning
guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN RACKS
OVEN MODES
OVEN USE
The oven racks can be placed in any of the six height positions within the oven. Oven racks have a stop to
keep them from being unintentionally withdrawn fully.
PREHEATING
When beginning a Bake, Convection Bake or Convection Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after
Start is 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.
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air, but
the fan is used only during preheating.
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).
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 1½" (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.

BROIL
Broiling 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 in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door
and set the control.
The temperature can be set from 450°F (232°C) to 550°F (288°C).

CONVECTION
FOODS RECOMMENDED FOR CONVECTION BAKE MODE:
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. 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 when using dark metal bake ware.
• 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 mode for 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" - 1½" (2.5 - 4 cm) air space around pans.

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
