COOKTOP USE

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Push in and turn to setting.

Ceramic Glass The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.

Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal operation. It will also randomly cycle off and back on again. even while on High. to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures.

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.

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches. pitting. abrasions and to condition the glass surface. 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. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove. clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded. warped. ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

Determine flatness 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.

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 and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then. while wearing oven mitts. remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down. they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

To avoid scratches. do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes 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.

Cooktop On Indicator Light The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel.

When any control knob on the console panel is turned on. the Cooktop On indicator light will glow.

Hot Surface Indicator Light On ceramic glass models. the Hot Surface indicator light is located on the console panel.

The Hot Surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch. even after the surface cooking area is turned off.

Dual Zone Element The Dual Zone Element offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines single and outer elements and is recommended for larger size cookware. large quantities of food. and home canning.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. the entire cooktop area may become hot.

A. Single B. Dual

Rapid Boil Cooking Zone (on some models) The Rapid Boil Cooking Zone offers flexibility for 2 optional heating choices. The Rapid Boil option can be used to boil liquids faster. The lower heat option can be used to prepare sauces. to brown or saute foods and to keep food at a low temperature. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Rapid Boil Cooking Zone.

Warm Zone Element

Use the Cooktop Warm Zone Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.

Do not use it to heat cold foods.

The Warm Zone Element can be used alone or when any of the other surface cooking areas are being used.

The Warm Zone Element area will not glow red when cycling on.

However. the Cooktop On light will glow while the Cooktop Warm Zone Element is in use.

Use only cookware recommended for oven and 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.

To avoid damage to the cooktop. do not use plastic wrap to cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

To Use:

To turn on. press WARM ZONE ON and then START.

To turn off. press WARM ZONE OFF.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area. element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom. straight sides and a well fitting lid. and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However. when used as a base. they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred. which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example. aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Check for flatness 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.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

A. Lower heat option B. Rapid Boil option

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Oven Vents

The oven vents release hot air and moisture from the ovens. and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vents will cause poor air circulation. affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics. paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vents.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating When beginning a Bake 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 your oven door is opened to insert food.

This ensures that when you place your food in the oven. the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Rapid Preheat Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete. the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.

IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack baking.

Oven Temperature While in use. the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature. but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: On models with convection. the convection fan may run in the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.

AccuBake Temperature Management System The AccuBake Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models. the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting. position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting. it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Food Rack Position

Large roasts or poultry

Roasted meats

Most baked goods. casseroles

Broiled meats. poultry. fish

Broiling/searing meats. hamburgers. steaks

Number  of Pan(s)

Position on Rack

Center of rack.

A. Upper oven vent B. Lower oven vent

Broiling

When broiling. preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Leave the desired oven door open 4½" (114 mm) at the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature. Position food on grid in a broiler pan. and then place it in the center of the oven rack.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting. the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat. fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place the food in the upper or lower oven. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings. the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

For best results. use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan. one may be ordered.

Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.

Lower Oven Convection Cooking

In a convection oven. the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven. cooking foods more evenly. crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

If the oven door is opened during convection cooking. the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.

NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.

Position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section before starting convection cooking.

With convection cooking. most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature or for a shorter length of time.

Toasting - Upper Oven Only

(on some models)

For toasting bread and products that are toasted in a toaster or toaster oven.

Lower oven cannot be operated while upper oven is toasting. If the lower oven is operating when Toast is pressed. a beep will sound.

Toasting is based on time. not temperature.

Frozen foods should not be toasted in the oven.
