IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP
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
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recom¬mendations for cooktop use.
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.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to
a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other
flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not touch surface burners or elements,
areas near these burners or elements, interior
surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if
equipped). Surface burners and elements may
be hot even though they appear cool. Areas
near surface burners and elements may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials touch these areas until
they are cool. These areas may include the
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent
areas, oven door, and oven window.
Do not attempt to operate the appliance during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-
market oven liners, or any other materials or
devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any
other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as
recommended for baking, such as lining
cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other
use of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short
circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the appliance when opening the door
of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before
you remove or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items can melt or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and
utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always
cook in proper cookware and always use the
oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

Using Proper Cookware
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware (See
Figure 1). Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
heating element (See
Figure 2). For detailed information
about the ceramic cooktop, refer to the“Cooktop Mainte-
nance (cont’d)” on page 33.
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of
food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum
cookware resists staining and pitting). If aluminum pans
slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal
marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these
marks immediately.
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily
(See Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature
is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic
cooktops.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the
glass.
The size and type of cook-
ware used will influence the
radiant element power level
setting needed for best cook
-
ing results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for
using proper cookware as
illustrated in
Figure 1 and
Figure 2.
Figure 1: Testing cookware
Figure 2: Proper cookware
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced
.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to element
size.
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting
point of cookware made with these materials may be
reached quickly especially if left empty, and they may
bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will
damage the cooktop. Be sure to follow all the cookware
manufacturer’s suggestions when using any type of
cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
(White glass cooktops only). Due to the high intensity of
heat generated by the surface elements, the glass
surface will turn green when the element is turned off.
This phenomenon is normal and the glass will return to its
original white color after it has completely cooled down.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element under
-
neath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of
the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed
cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and their settings are all factors that will
affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond
the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements
may become hot enough to cause burns.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain
the selected setting the element will cycle on and off. The
heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform
and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
When a burner is turned on the ELEMENT ON indicator
light will glow. The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn
on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will
remain on until the surface has cooled to a safe tempera
-
ture after the burner is turned off. The ELEMENT ON
indicator light will glow when one or more elements are
turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface
elements are turned off.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or
work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the
cooktop may crack it.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop
surface. Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface
(without cooking utensil) is not recommended as difficult
cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause
potential fire hazard.
Always lift cookware before moving on ceramic glass
cooktop. Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms
can scratch the ceramic cooktop. Always start with clean
cookware.
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 the ceramic
cooktop.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to
cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the
HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too
small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is
not flat.
Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section
and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and
Care Guide.
The element on and hot surface indicator lights will glow
when the element is turned on and will continue to glow
after the control knob is turned to the OFF position. It will
glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if
the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has
turned off.

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 they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning proce
-
dures.
Home Canning Do’s and Don’ts
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning.
• Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• 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.
• 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 seating 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.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high
heat for an extended amount of time.
• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to
avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to
vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that
harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are
sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously
for the required time.
CAUTION
12
Surface Control Settings
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type
of food being cooked will influence the surface element
power level setting needed for best cooking results.
Use Table 1 to determine the correct setting for the type of
food you are preparing.
Single Radiant Surface Elements (some models)
The cooktop has two or three single radiant surface
elements: the left rear position, the right rear position. The
left rear element may also be used with the bridge element.
To operate the single radiant surface elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (See
Figure 3). Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface
element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. 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.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Table 1: Recommended settings for surface elements
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI) Start most foods; bring water to a boil and
pan broiling.
MEDIUM
HIGH (8-10)
Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat
frying
MEDIUM (6) Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and
gravies; steaming vegetables
MEDIUM
LOW (2-4)
Keep foods cooking; poaching and
stewing
LOW (LO) Keep warm, melting and simmering
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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. Never straddle cookware
between two surfaces unless designed for that purpose.
Do not place plastic items such as 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 allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain
cookware or any material that can melt to make contact
with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
NOTE
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The hot surface light will
turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop
has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface
is touched before the indicator light has turned off.
Figure 3: Control knob single surface burner
The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly
on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide
and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface
element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. Refer to
Table 1 for suggested settings.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Dual Surface Radiant Element (some models)
The expandable burner can handle 9 inch or 12 inch
cookware. This dual burner is especially useful for bringing
large cookware to boil for canning or heating large amounts
of water.
To operate the dual surface element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob toward the inner
element side for smaller cookware or to the dual
element side for larger cookware (See
Figure 4).
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to
a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. 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.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
Warmer Zone
The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the feature to keep
cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles,
soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the
warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should
be covered with a lid to maintain quality.
For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the
cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto
the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only plates,
utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop
use on the warmer zone.
To set the keep warmer zone control:
1. Turn the warmer zone control knob clockwise to the ON
position. The warmer zone uses a pre-set temperature
designed to keep foods at serving temperature.
2. When ready to serve, turn the warmer zone control

Bridge Element
On the left side of the cooktop there are two single burners
with a bridge element between them. When turned on, the
bridge element allows for a larger cooking area by cycling at
the same temperature as the left rear element. For the
bridge to be operational, the left rear burner must be on.
When the left front burner is also on the entire left side of
the cooktop can accommodate specialized cookware.
To operate the bridge element:
1. Turn on the left rear element to the desired level of heat.
2. Turn the bridge control to the on position.
3. The bridge element will heat at the same level
as the left rear element. If the left rear control
is turned off, the bridge will also turn off. Be sure to turn
the bridge control to the off position when finished
cooking.

Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. 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. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the
openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or
moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Type of oven racks
Oven Rack Descriptions
• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be
used for most cooking needs and may be placed in
most oven rack positions.
• The offset oven rack (some models) provides addi-
tional step down positions from the standard flat rack
design. The offset design positions the base of the rack
about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and
may be used in most oven rack positions.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset
oven racks
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on
both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using.
Figure 7: Do not block oven vent location
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire.
All oven racks should be removed before a self clean
operation. Racks left in the oven during the high heat of
the self clean function can easily discolor.
The ability of the racks to easily slide in and out along the
rack positions may also be affected.
Remove all oven racks and clean according to instruc-
tions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this
manual. Never pick up hot oven racks or parts.

Setting Bake
Baking tips
For best bake results:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads. When using any single
rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of
the oven.
• The convection fan will be on during preheat and then
turn off and on occasionally as needed.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 3 with offset rack and 5
using flat rack (See
Figure 12).
• When using two oven racks, position cookware as
shown in
Figure 13. Allow at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm)
of space between cookware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper
-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
Important: For batter and dough-based baked goods such
as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function
for best results.
Use the Bake function whenever a recipe calls for baking
using normal temperatures. When the set bake temperature
is reached the control will sound a chime to alert that the
oven is fully preheated.
Bake may be set for any temperature between 170°F
(77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
To set a bake for 350°F:
1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions for the
item(s) to be baked.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to the Bake position.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. The PREHEAT and the oven temperature light will turn
on and sound an acceptance tone. The oven will begin
heating.
5. When the set temperature is reached the PREHEAT
light will turn off and a reminder chime will sound
alerting you to place food in oven. Set either timer to
keep track of actual cooking time if necessary.
6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the
temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to
the OFF positions.
Note: Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the
cooking time necessary for best results.

Convection Cooking
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results
when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can be
programmed for convection baking at any temperature
between 170°F to 550°F. The convection function uses a
fan to circulate the oven heat uniformly and continuously
around the oven (
Figure 14). This improved heat distribu-
tion allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It
also gives better baking results when using two oven racks
at the same time.
Benefits of convection cooking:
• Multiple rack baking.
• Some foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.
Convection baking tips:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• For single rack baking, position the rack so that food is
in the center of the oven.
• If your recipe cooking temperature has already been
converted for convection baking, there is no need to
reduce your oven temperature. If not, see “Setting
Convection Convert” on page 21 for further instructions
on temperature conversion.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 3 with offset rack and 5
using flat rack (See
Figure 14). When baking using two
oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 15.
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
cookware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper
-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
• Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces
oven temperature and may extend cooking time.
• Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on
pans with no sides or low sides to allow air to circulate.
Setting Convection Bake
To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to
375°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT BAKE.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 375°F.
The oven temperature light will blink for a few seconds
before sounding a chime confirming the setting. The
convection fan will turn on and the oven will begin heating.
Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven will
sound a chime indicating the food items can be placed in
the oven.
When finished baking, be sure to return both the tempera-
ture selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF
positions.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Convert
Convection convert automatically converts a standard
baking recipe for convection baking. Convection convert
may only be used with convection bake.This feature must
be set before selecting the oven mode and oven tempera
-
ture by using the user preference setting in the oven
display.
Because convection baking generally cooks food faster
than normal baking, food items should be checked for
doneness before the suggested normal recipe cook times.
To set convection convert:
1. The oven temperature selector must be in the OFF
position. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT
BAKE.
2. Press and hold both the oven light icon and the clock
icon for about 3 seconds until Aut° (automatic convec
-
tion convert) appears in the display.
Press either the – or + key until On appears.
Turn the oven mode selector to the OFF position. The oven
will accept the convection convert setting with an accep
-
tance chime and the control will return to display the time of
day. The convection bake function will now automatically
convert normal baking temperatures for convection baking.
To change back to regular convection baking, repeat the
same steps in this process and press the + or - key until
OFF appears. Once the control accepts the change with a
chime, turn the oven mode selector to OFF.
Setting Convection Roast
Convection roast is best for cooking tender cuts of beef,
lamb, pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed
is desired. Convection roasting gently browns the exterior
and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the bake
element, convection element, broil element, and fan to
circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
Convection roasting tips:
• Use a broiler pan and grid, as well as a roasting rack
(available by mail order). The broiler pan will catch
grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent spatters.
The roasting rack will hold the meat. Make sure the
roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler
pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the grid or cover
the grid with aluminum foil.
• Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing
food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
• Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase the
cooking time necessary for best results.
• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting
rack. Use a deep pan and place on rack position 1
(offset rack).
To set oven for convection roasting:
1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven.
2. Turn oven mode selector to CONV ROAST.
3. Turn oven temperature selector to desired roasting
temperature.
Note: Preheating the oven for convection roasting is not
necessary. At this time you may want to set TIMER as a
reminder for checking food.
Figure 16: Convection convert off (L) and on (R)
Should an oven fire occur, do not open oven door, turn off
the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the
fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

Using the Broil Feature
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct expo-
sure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.
To set broil:
1. Arrange oven racks while oven is cool.
2. Turn the mode selector knob to broil. The corre-
sponding indicator light will flash.
3. Turn the temperature selector knob to broil. The
indicator light will turn on and remain lit. For optimum
browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before
adding food.
4. Place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the
broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Broil with
door open to the stop position (
Figure 20). Always pull
the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or
removing food.
5. Turn the temperature and the selector knobs to OFF
when broiling is complete or to cancel broil
.
Recommended Broiling Times
Depending on the type, the thickness, and the desired
doneness of meat, it might be necessary to increase or
decrease suggested broiling times or adjust the broiling pan
to different rack positions. If a broiler pan and insert are not
supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from
frigidaire.com.
Table 3: Broiling Suggestions
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a
hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks and
cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns. Do not
use the broiler pan without the insert. The insert is slotted
and allows the grease to drain away from the meat and
the high heat of the broiler into the broiler pan. Do not
cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil; the
exposed grease could ignite.
If an oven fire occurs, close the oven door. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire
extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour
can be explosive; water can cause a grease fire to spread

Meat Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods
such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check
internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly
cooked food. Before using the meat probe read the
important information listed here:
Proper placement of probe in food.
• Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the
center of the thickest part of meat or food (
Figure 21).
For best results, do not allow the probe to contact bone,
fat, gristle, or the cookware.
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the
center of lowest large muscle or joint.
• For meatloaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center
of food.
• When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe into the
thickest part of the breast.
To set probe:
1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on
the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.
2. Plug the connector end of the probe into the probe
receptacle while the oven is still cool. The receptacle is
located on the upper left front oven cavity wall.
• The probe feature must be set before setting the
cooking mode and oven temperature.
• If a timer is running when the meat probe is plugged
in, the control will sound a triple beep once and the
timer will keep running. The timer must be canceled
before the probe temperature can be set.
• If the meat probe is unplugged during cooking
function, or plugged in during BROIL, the oven will
stop cooking and turn off.
• If the meat probe is plugged in while the oven is in a
function that allows for the meat probe, the control will
sound a triple beep indicating that the meat probe is
not allowed to be plugged in while the oven is
running. After the alert, the oven will continue to cook
to the set oven temperature.
• If no cooking mode is selected within 30 seconds of
setting the target temperature, the oven mode
indicator light will stop blinking. The display will
continue to show the meat probe settings until an
allowable cooking cycle is selected.
• When the meat probe is set correctly, the control will

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Adjusting the Oven Temperature
The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When
first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and
temperatures.
If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the
temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven
temperature to be more or less than what is displayed by
accessing the UPO (User Programmable Offset).
Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature
setting higher or lower than the recommended temperature.
The baking results should help you to decide how much of
an adjustment is needed.
Important: Before making a temperature adjustment, make
sure both the oven mode and oven temperature control
knobs are in the OFF position.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. When the oven is idle, press and hold both the light icon
and the clock icon at the same time for a few seconds
until the display sounds an acceptance chime. AUd
should appear in the display.
2. Press the + key in the upper part of the display until
UPO appears and the default setting of
0° (or the last
offset temperature) is showing.
3. Using the + or - key in the bottom of the display, press
until the desired temperature change (offset) is
reached. The display will change
± 5° with each key
press to a maximum of
+ 35° or a minimum of – 35°F.
If a lower temperature offset is desired, press the – key in
the bottom of the display until the desired lower tempera
-
ture appears.
Once the new offset appears in the display, release the key
and the control will accept the change.
4. To return the display to normal, press and hold both the
oven light icon and the clock icon at the same time
until an acceptance chime sounds. The display will
return to show the time of day.
Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in
grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside
your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much
as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Self Cleaning
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well
above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils
completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can
wipe away with a damp cloth.
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to tempera-
ture much higher than those used in normal cooking.
Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal.
Odor is also normal because the food soil is being removed.
Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
Adhere to the following self clean precautions:
• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings
in or around any part of the oven interior.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 27). The
woven material of the oven door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or remove the gasket.
• Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils, and
any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high
cleaning temperatures and will melt.
• Completely remove all oven racks and any accesso-
ries. If the oven racks are not removed, they will lose
their special coating properties and no longer slide in
and out of the oven cavity easily.
• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven
bottom should be wiped up and removed before
starting the self cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot,
soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause
heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high tempera
-
tures.
• Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they
may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at
the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
These areas are shown in white (
Figure 27).
IMPORTANT
During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the self cleaning cycle is complete.
The oven may still be very hot.
Figure 27: Clean around the oven door gasket
To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven
door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the
oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to
escape.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other
part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy
heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface of the oven).
CAUTION

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Self Clean
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self clean
cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down
and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one
hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take about 4
hours to complete.
It is recommended to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light
soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for
heavy soils.
To set the controls for a 3 hour self clean cycle and
shut off automatically:
1. Turn both the oven mode and oven temperature
selectors to CLEAN. The display will show a 3 hour
time (normal clean) and the
– and + keys.
2. If a 3 hour clean is desired, the control will accept the
time within 3 seconds. However, the user may select a
2 or 4 hour clean by using the – or + keys to change to
the desired clean time and then allow the control to
accept the change.
Once the control accepts the clean time the display will
flash a reminder for the user to REMOVE RACKS.
The
REMOVE RACKS notification will flash for a few seconds
prompting the user to remove all oven racks. If the oven
door is opened as this time the display will show CLO to
indicate that the door must be closed before the clean cycle
can begin. If the door remains open for more than 3
minutes, the clean function will be canceled.
When the oven is set to run the clean cycle, the motor door
lock will begin locking the oven door. Do not open the oven
door while the lock motor is running or when any locking
indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is
completely locked in about 15 seconds.

3. Once the door is closed the time of day will be visible
along with the selected clean time and the door lock
icon will be blinking in the display.
4. During the clean cycle the time of day remains in the
display and the time remaining in the clean cycle will
also be active.(
Figure 33)
5. When the clean cycle ends the oven will be too hot for
the door to unlock until the oven cools to a safe temper
-
ature. This may take up to an hour. During this time the
display will show Hot along with the door lock icon.
6. At this point CLn will appear in the display and the lock
icon will blink to signal the end of the clean cycle with a
chime. The internal oven temperature will still be hot
enough to cause burns.
Caution: Be careful when opening and stand to the side to
allow any steam and heat to escape.
Note: Once the clean cycle ends the oven will not be
available for another clean for 4 hours.
To cancel a self clean before it ends:
Turn both the oven selector knob and the oven temperature
knob to the OFF position.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining
your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the
recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic
surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. This will
make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The
special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish
on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the
cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface.
These marks should be removed immediately after the
cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream.
Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough
bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a
pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Cooktop Cleaning
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to
the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive cloth
or sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure
the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to
the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the
pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the
surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff surface clean.
Figure 36: Cooktop care
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The
fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemi
-
cally damage the ceramic-glass surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface
could be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance (cont’d)
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content need be removed
immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop
surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop
surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After
turning the surface elements off, use a razor blade scraper
or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the
hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and
use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
Do not use the following on the cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such
as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the
cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor
the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as
they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn
and cause discoloration.
General Cleaning
Refer to “Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven” on page 31
for more detailed information about cleaning specific parts
of the range.
Aluminum Foil and Utensils
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface elements under any circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when
using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged
or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or mark the
ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the
cooktop surface.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning
products that have been specifically designed for ceramic
glass cooktops.
Figure 38: Cleaning products to avoid
IMPORTANT
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure
all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventilation.
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil
linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recom

Self clean does not work. Oven control not set properly. See “Setting Self Clean” on page 29.
Oven racks discolored or do not slide
easily.
Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Remove oven racks from oven cavity before
starting a self-clean cycle. Clean by using a mild abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's
instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in oven.
Oven portion does not operate The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the oven. See
"Setting the Clock" on page 17.
Before setting the oven, both mode and temperature knobs should be set to OFF.
If the indicator lights above oven mode or oven temp selection knobs remain flashing, the oven
will not heat. Turn both knobs to OFF, wait 5-10 seconds, then set the oven mode and oven
temp again.
If the oven mode and oven temp combination is mismatched, the oven will not heat. For
example: bake mode with broil temperature, or clean mode with a cooking temperature. These
combinations will cause an error. Turn both knobs to OFF, wait 5-10 seconds, then set the oven
mode and oven temp again, with a correct mode and temperature. For example: broil mode
should have broil temperature selected; clean mode should have clean temperature selected.
Review the section of this manual for the cooking mode you wish to use.
Set both mode and temperature selection knobs to OFF when finished cooking.
Oven control panel beeps and
displays any F or E code error.
Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. To clear the error rotate the mode or
temperature selector to an ON position then back to OFF. Once the error code is cleared, try
the bake or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off the power to appliance, wait
5 minutes, and then repower appliance. Set clock with correct time of day. Try bake or broil
function again. If fault recurs, press the off key to clear.

BEFORE YOU CALL
Soil not completely removed after
self clean.
Self clean was interrupted. Review instructions on “Self Cleaning” on page 28. Excessive spills
on oven bottom. Clean before starting self clean. Failure to clean soil from the oven frame, the
door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven
bottom. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue.
Clean these areas before starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned
with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven
gasket.
Oven light does not work. Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See “Replacing the Oven Light” on page 35.

Be sure the correct surface control knob is turned on for element needed.
Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight
cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the
material affect heating. Heavy and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans
heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop
surface.
Coarse particles such as salt or hardened soils between cooktop and utensils can cause
scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small
scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.
