Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area.

Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning

it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the

cookware.

Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend

over adjacent surface elements. To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the

cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward,

and does not extend over other cooking areas.

Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with

flat bottoms that match the surface unit size. Using the

proper cookware on the cooking area will improve efficiency.

Glazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of cookware are

suitable for cook top service and must be magnetic to work

properly on the induction zones. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cooktop use to ensure that the

cookware is compatible with induction cooking.

Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in

temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations for cooktop use.

Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs may

cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that

has boiled dry could be damaged and may damage the

cooktop.

Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler pan on

the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the

cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

2. COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

2.1 Bakeware

The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers

heat from the pan to the food.

ENGLISH 5

Material Attributes Recommendation

Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated bakeware is the best for even

heating. It is suitable for all baked goods.

Recommended cooking temperatures and times are based on shi‐

ny metal bakeware.

Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware. Reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F / 13-14°C when you use

a dark bakeware.

Glass bakeware Glass bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.

Glass is convenient, you can use the same piece of bakeware for

cooking, serving, and storing food.

Reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F / 13-14°C when you use

a glass bakeware.

Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny bakeware.

Insulated bakeware is designed for baking in gas oven.

When you use insulated bakeware, the recipe baking time may be

longer than usual.

2.2 Cooking Conditions

Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance

when cooking food.

Condition Attributes Recommendation

Aging cookware As pans age and become discolored, you may need to slightly

reduce a cooking time.

If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the rec‐

ipe or packaging.

If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook

time recommended in the recipe or on the packaging.

High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is lower.

Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster.

Foods may take longer to bake.

Doughs may rise faster.

Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time or recipes as needed.

Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.

Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce evaporation.

Increase bake time or oven temperature.

Reduce the amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce

rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice.

2.3 Cooking Results

Small adjustments may help you achieve the best results.

Result Recommendation

Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

2.4 Cooking Tips

For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with an insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter,

and reduce smoke. The broiler pan catches grease spills, and insert helps prevent grease splatters.

3. BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

3.1 About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the

temperature rises, the element glows red. To maintain the selected

setting, the element cycles on and off. The heating element retains

enough heat to provide uniform and consistent heat during the off

cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn the element off several minutes before

cooking is complete. This allows residual heat to complete the cooking

process.

6 ENGLISH

CAUTION!

Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they are turned

off. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if

the element or surrounding area is touched before it cools to a safe

temperature.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper

shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range

when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,

towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the

surface elements.

Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector

pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of

electric shock or fire.

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil or any material that can melt to make

contact with the cooking element. If these items melt on the

cooktop, they damage the cooktop.



NOTE

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle

on and off, even at the HI setting.

• Read the detailed instructions for coil cooktop cleaning in the

Care and Cleaning section and the Troubleshooting checklist

section of this User Manual.

3.2 Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting

needed for best cooking results.

Correct cookware:

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Cookware size matches the amount of food to be prepared.

• Cookware diameter matches the size of the Cooking Zone.

Incorrect cookware:

• Bottom curved or warped.

• Cookware larger than the Cooking Zone by more than 0,5 inch (12

mm).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is much smaller than the Cooking Zone.

Cookware material types:

• Aluminum - excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause

it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and

pitting).

• Copper - excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (see

Aluminum).

• Stainless - slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.

Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.

• Cast Iron - a slow heat conductor, but will retain heat very well.

Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - heating characteristics may vary

depending on base material.

• Glass - slow heat conductor

IMPORTANT

Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain- enamel coated

cookware on the element. The melting point of cookware made

with these materials may be reached quickly, especially if left

empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow all

the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for use and care of

cookware.

IMPORTANT

Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface

cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the

cooktop.

3.3 ELEMENT ON Indicator

The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more

elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when

cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are

turned off.

4. SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

4.1 Setting Radiant Surface Elements

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a

lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have

to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the prints as a guide and

adjust the control knob as needed.

A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge

of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface

heating area.

Suggested settings for radiant elements

Settings Type of Cooking

High (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a boil,

pan broiling.

Medium (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry.

Medium (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and

gravies or steam vegetables.

Medium Low (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew.

Low (1) Low temperature cooking.

Low (LO) Keep warm, melt.

The suggested settings are based on cooking with medium-weight

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of

pans.

The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food

being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

CAUTION!

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they

have been turned off . The element may still be hot and burns may

occur if the element is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper

shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on top of the range

when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,

towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the

surface elements.

Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector

pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of

electric shock or fire.

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make

contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the

cooktop, they will damage it.

Never place a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking

4.2 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) Web site and be sure to read all the

information available as well as follow recommendations for home

canning procedures.

Canning recommendations:

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner 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

canner bottom.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch

beyond the surface element markings or burner.

• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil

and ceramic glass cooktops, and to center canners 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 Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer

of glass jars for the latest canning information.

• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

CAUTION!

Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an

extended amount of time.

5. BEFORE USING THE OVEN

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Oven Vent Location

The oven air vents are located in the rear side of the cooktop. When

the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is

necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking

results.

Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

IMPORTANT

Do not block oven vent or cover the openings with aluminium foil or

any other material.

WARNING!

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil (or any other

material) or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other

part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce

poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the

oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven

will be hot enough to melt foil.

CAUTION!

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When

cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop

will become very hot which can cause burns.

Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven

racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide

ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks

will lose their shiny finish.

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close

the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back

inside the oven cavity.

5.2 Types of Oven Rack

Flat Oven Rack

Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be

placed in most oven rack positions.

IMPORTANT

Before using the accessories, remove and clean them according to

the instructions in the chapter: "Care and Cleaning".

5.3 Removing and Arranging Oven Racks

IMPORTANT

Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.

To remove oven racks

1. Pull the rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position.

2. Slightly lift up front of the oven rack and slide it out.

Oven Problems

Occurrence Possible cause Solution

Poor baking results. Many factors affect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to cir‐

culate. Preheat the oven to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Adjust the

temperature and baking time recommended in the recipe.

Flames inside oven or smoking from

oven vent.

Excessive spills in oven.

Grease of food spilled onto the oven bot‐

tom or oven cavity.

Wipe up excessive spills before turning on the oven.

If flames or excessive smoke are present when using broil, refer to Setting Oven Controls.

Oven smokes excessively when boil‐

ing.

Incorrect setting. Refer to Setting Oven Controls.

Meat to close to the broil element or burn‐

er.

Reposition the broil pan to provide proper clearance between the meat and broil element

or burner. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, do

not cut into lean.

Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when you broil frequently. Grease or food splatters cause

excessive smoking.

Oven control panel beeps and dis‐

plays any F or E code error.

Oven control detected a fault or error con‐

dition.

To clear the error press the OFF key on the control panel. Once you clear the error code,

try the bake or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off the power to the ap‐

pliance and wait 5 minutes, and then repower the appliance. Set the clock with the correct

time of day, and try the bake or broil function again. If the fault recurs, press the OFF key

to clear.

Oven portion of appliance does not

operate.

The regulator gas is OFF. Make sure the regulator gas is turned ON. Refer to Installation Instructions.

The time of day is not set. The clock must be set in order to operate the oven. Refer to Setting Oven Controls.

Desired function is not set. Make sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. Refer to Setting

Oven Controls and this checklist.

Cooktop Problems

Occurrence Possible cause Solution

Surface element is too hot or not hot

enough.

Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.

Surface element does not heat or

does not heat evenly.

Incorrect surface control knob is used for

the element needed.

Make sure that you use correct surface control knob for the element needed.

Cookware is light weight or warped. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Lightweight pans heat

unevenly and food may burn easily.

Drip bowls are pitting or rusting. Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, will

cause corrosion if allowed to stand in/on

bowls.

When cool, remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spill.

This is normal. Houses located along sea coasts are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as

much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

Drip bowls have changing or distort‐

ing colors.

Bottom of hot cookware extends beyond

surface element and touches cooktop sur‐

face, causing the drip bowl to discolor.

Pan size should match the size of the surface element.

Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your appliance dealer.

Self-Clean Problems

Occurrence Possible cause Solution

Self-clean does not work. Oven control not set properly. Refer to Setting Oven Controls.

Oven racks discolored or do not slide

properly.

Oven racks left in oven during self-clean. Remove oven racks from the oven cavity before starting self-clean cycle. Clean by using a

mild abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry,

and replace in oven.

Soil not completely removed after

self-clean.

Self-clean cycle interrupted. Refer to Setting Oven Controls.

Excessive spills on oven bottom. Remove excessive spills before starting self-clean.

Areas such as oven frame, the door liner

outside the oven door gasket, and the

small area at the front center of the oven

bottom are not in the self-clean area, but

get hot enough to burn on residue.

Clean these areas before starting self-clean cycle. Clean burned-on residue with a stiff ny‐

lon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
