USING THE RANGE Surface Units

Surface Units

How to Set

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.

A surface ON indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on

For glass cooktop surfaces:

A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will:

  • come on when the unit is hot to the touch.
  • stay on even after the unit is turned off.
  • stay on until the unit is cooled to approximately 150°F.

At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is maintaining your desired setting. Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

Knob appearance may vary

Melt setting (on some models) will melt chocolate or butter.

Dual and Triple Surface Units and Control Knobs (on some models)

The surface unit has 2 or 3 cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware you are using.

Using the Warming Zone (on some models)

WARNING FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140°F

  • Always start with hot food. Do not use warm setting to heat cold food
  • Do not use warm setting for more than 2 hours.

The WARMING ZONE. located in the back center of the glass surface. will keep hot. cooked food at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the
WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.

Turn the control knob to the ON position.

For models using the touch pads for warming zone control. see section on "Using the Oven" for additional details.

For best results. all foods on the WARMING ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads. the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

The initial temperature. type and amount of food. type of pan. and the time held will affect the quality of the food.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the WARMING ZONE. since cookware and plates will be hot.

NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball and Kerr and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil.

For Models With a Radiant Glass Cooktop

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops. it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off. the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking. remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

  • Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full-strength white vinegar.
  • Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this film.
  • Don't store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop. they can cause damage.
  • Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off for a time if:

  • the pan boils dry.
  • the pan bottom is not flat.
  • the pan is off-center.
  • there is no pan on the unit.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops. NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Recommended

Stainless Steel Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom:

Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron: recommended if bottom of pan is coated

Avoid/Not Recommended

Enamel (painted) on Steel:

Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Cast Iron:

Not Recommended - unless designed specifically for glass cooktops

Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface

For Best Results

  • Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements. particularly wet lids.
  • Wet pans and lids may stick to the surface when cool.
  • Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on glass surface elements.
  • We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface element to ensure proper contact.
  • Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size.

USING THE OVEN: Cooking Modes

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Baking and Roasting Modes

Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the type and quantity of food you are preparing. When preparing baked goods such as cakes. cookies. and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided. center food in the oven.

Traditional Bake

The Bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing baked goods such as cakes. cookies. and pastries. always preheat the oven first. To use this mode press the Bake pad. enter a temperature. and then press
Start.

Convection Bake

This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion. so it is not necessary to adjust the temperature when using this mode. Always preheat when using this mode. Baking time might be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the
Convection Bake pad. enter a temperature. and then press Start.

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to improve browning and reduce cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this mode. To use this mode press the Convection Roast pad. enter a temperature. and then press Start.

Air Fry

Air Fry is a special. no-preheat. cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode is intended for single rack cooking only. Select Air Fry. then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F.
Preheating is not recommended for this mode. Follow traditional oven recipe or package guidelines for set temperatures and cook times; adjust cook time to achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines for using this mode can be found in the Cooking Guide.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the oven door closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling; placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking. spattering. and the possibility of fats igniting. It is not necessary to preheat when using the Broil modes.

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would like to have a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start.

Broil Lo

The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start.

Warm

Warm modes are designed to keep hot. cooked foods hot. Cover foods that should remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food.

• The Air Fry mode is designed for cooking on a single rack.

• The Air Fry mode is designed to be used without preheating.

• Foods may cook faster than expected if the oven is already hot when food is placed in the oven.

• When air frying foods with sauce, it is recommended to apply the sauce at the end of cooking.

• If foods are browning too quickly, try a lower rack position or lower oven set temperature.

• For packaged foods, use traditional oven cooking instructions for set temperature and expected cook time.

• It is not necessary to flip or stir food during cooking

• Arrange food in a single layer on the pan, do not overload the pan.

• Always check internal food temperature to confirm minimum safe temperatures have been reached. Minimum safe food temperatures can be found on packages and at IsItDoneYet.gov.
