COOKTOP

WARNING Fire Hazard Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

NOTE: Settings are marked on the control knob. The control knobs can be set to anywhere between H (High) and L (Low). Push in and turn to setting.

REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Ceramic Glass

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

It is normal for the surface of light colored 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 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.

• 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.
• Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 cm) outside the area.

• 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.
• 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 Cooking Element

The Dual Zone cooking 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 both the single and outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

NOTE: Settings are marked on the control knob.

Rapid Boil Element (Right Front Element)

The Rapid Boil cooking element offers additional cooking flexibility. The Rapid Boil cooking element can be used to boil liquids faster. The lowest melt setting can be used to prepare sauces, to brown or sauté foods and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Rapid Boil cooking element.

NOTE: Settings are marked on the control knob.

Melt Element (Left Rear Element)

The Melt cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide range of settings between High and Melt. The High heat option can be used to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. To reduce the power setting, turn the knob clockwise. The Melt setting is designed for delicate foods, that require low heat, such as when melting chocolate or holding sauces. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt cooking element.

NOTE: Settings are marked on the control knob.

Downdraft Ventilation System

The built-in downdraft ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors, and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate the downdraft ventilation system with the filter properly installed. To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.

For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning” section.

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.

Aluminum

■ Heats quickly and evenly.

■ Suitable for all types of cooking.

■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.

■ May leave aluminum residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

Cast iron

■ Heats slowly and evenly.

■ Good for browning and frying.

■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.

■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch the cooktop.

Ceramic or ceramic glass

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.

■ Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Copper

■ Heats very quickly and evenly.

■ May leave copper residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond to the cooktop if overheated.

Earthenware

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Use on low heat settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Porcelain enamel-onsteel or cast iron

■ See stainless steel or cast iron.

■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without the metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated.

Stainless steel

■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.

■ A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

Home Canning

Canning can be performed on a glass smoothtop 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 1 /2" (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 flat-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off by the oven. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.

To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as guides.

The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.

Flat Rack Position* ---- Type of Food

7 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers, steaks

6 Broiled meats, poultry, fish

3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen foods

2 Roasted meats

1 Large roasts or poultry

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21 /2 to 31 /2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

*If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration.

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect 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 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.

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.

Temperature Management System

The 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.

Steam Bake

The Steam Bake function works in conjunction with the steam rack to provide additional moisture during baking. The steam rack contains a water reservoir which heats up and releases steam into the oven cavity during the Steam Bake cycle. There are preprogrammed food options to choose from: Breads, Desserts, and Fish as well as a Refresh/Reheat option. For best performance, place the steam rack in the lowest available rack position in the cavity and pour 11 cups (350 mL) of water into the reservoir. Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on the reservoir.

After the Steam Bake cycle is complete, some water may remain in the reservoir. This is normal. Wait for the oven to cool and discard the water.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.

IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack or 7 for broiling. 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. See the “Accessories” section.

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.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and convection elements cycle on and off.

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.

With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard thermal oven. Depending upon the selected cooking mode, EasyConvect™ conversion can automatically reduce the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking. If you choose not to use the EasyConvect™ conversion, use the following table as a guide.

Convection Mode ------ Time/Temperature Guidelines

Convection Bake -------25°F (15°C) lower temperature, possible shortened cooking time

Convection Roast -------Cooking time shortened by up to 30%

Convection Broil ---------Shortened cooking time

Convect Options

• Convect Bake - multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes
• Convect Roast - whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts
• Convect Broil - thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, or poultry

RANGE CARE

Clean Cycle

AquaLift® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odorfree alternative to traditional Cleaning options. Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.

To Clean:

• 1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity and wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily removed soils.

• 2. Pour 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.

IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.

• 3. Press AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven control panel.
• 4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
• 5. Press CANCEL at the end of the cycle. Cancel may be pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
• 6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of water will remain in the oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist with the cleaning.

• 7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run to help remove the stubborn soils. IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads, may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the oven interior.

NOTES:

■ The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the beginning of the Clean cycle.

■ For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.

■ Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the range and the floor.

■ Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.

■ Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser-style cleaning pads (without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity walls, oven door, and oven bottom for difficult soils. For best results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.

■ Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.

■ affresh® Kitchen Appliance Cleaner and affresh® Cooktop Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls, and door when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room temperature. If affresh® Cooktop Cleaner is used, it is recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as well. Refer to the “Accessories” section for information on ordering.

■ Additional AquaLift® Technology Cleaning Kits may be obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. See the “Accessories” section for more information.
