How Induction Surface Cooking Works

The elements beneath the cooking surface produce a magnetic field that generates heat in ferrous metal pans that are in close proximity.

The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat is produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be generated until a pan is placed on the cooking surface. When the element is activated, the pan begins to heat immediately and in turn heats the contents of the pan.

Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of cookware made of ferrous metals-metals to which magnets will stick, such as iron or steel.

Use pans that fit the element size. The pan must be large enough for the element to detect the pan and be able to deliver full power.

The cooktop will not operate if a very small steel or iron utensil, such as a steel spatula, cooking spoon, knife or other small utensil, is placed on the cooking surface when the unit is turned on.

Operating the Cooktop Elements

Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Place your Induction designed cookware on the cooking surface. Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.

A knob 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.

Using the Warming Zone (on some models)

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. To turn the WARMING ZONE on, turn knob clockwise to the setting you want.

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.

Oven Racks

Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Extension Racks

Always pull the rack out by its upper front rail to its fully open position, when placing or removing cookware.

If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in the side tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.

To order additional graphite lubricant, rsee the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

To Remove An Extension Rack:

1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven so that side paddles on the rack disengage from the oven support.
2. Slide the rack toward you to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the sliding rack, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To Replace An Extension Rack:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the sliding rack.
2. Place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push it in as far as it will go.

If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe the oven rack supports with vegetable oil. Do not wipe oil on the rack slides.

To Lubricate the Paddle:

Shake lubricant and apply to the moving parts of the paddle mechanisms as shown.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25°F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Oven Cooking Modes

Bake

The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food.

Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling; placing food close to the broil element or burner increases smoking, spattering and the possibility of fats igniting. It is not necessary to preheat when using the Broil modes.

Warm

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods at a higher temperature for up to 3 hours. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips, or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press the Warm pad and then press Star/Enter. Some models may also have warming drawers. Three settings are available - use High for items such as stews, meats, and potatoes; use Medium for items such as casseroles and pizzas; use Low for items such as breads, waffles, and also for warming oven-safe dishes.

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts 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 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/Enter.

Frozen Snacks

The Frozen Snacks modes are designed to cook frozen foods such as potato nuggets, French fries, and similar frozen snacks and appetizers. Most foods will cook within package recommended time. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences.

Use Frozen Snacks Single when cooking frozen snacks on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.

Use Frozen Snacks Multi when cooking frozen snacks on two racks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking. Press Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Frozen Pizza

The Frozen Pizza modes are designed to cook frozen pizzas. Most pizzas will cook within package recommended times. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences.

Use Frozen Pizza Single when cooking on a single rack.

This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.

Use Frozen Pizza Multi when cooking on two racks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking. Press Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Baked Goods

The Baked Goods mode is designed for cooking cakes, breads, cookies, and similar foods on a single rack. This mode is designed to provide lighter top browning and better volume. Some foods may require slightly longer cook times relative to when cooked in the traditional bake mode. Press Options and select Baked Goods than follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. 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 times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

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, or use the probe (see the Probe section for more information). It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

Proof

Proof mode maintains a warm environment for rising yeast-leavened dough. If the oven is too warm, Proof mode will not operate and the display will show "Oven too hot for Proof". For best results, cover the dough while proofing and check early to avoid over-proofing.

Oven Probe

Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food temperature reaches the programmed temperature.

Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.

Proper Probe Placement

After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking pan follow these guidelines for proper probe placement.

• Insert the probe completely into the meat, up to the handle, such that the point of the probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of the meat.
• The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
• For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast.
• For bone less roasts, insert the probe into the center of the roast.
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
• For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the probe into the center of the dish.
• For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Check the temperature at other locations in the food with a food thermometer once the probe temperature is reached to ensure that all portions of the food have reached desired temperatures.

Probe Usage

The temperature probe can only be used with Bake,

Convection Bake, and Convection Roast.

To use the probe with preheating:

1. Select the desired cook mode (Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) pad and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads.
2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet, making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven walls and probe outlet are hot.
4. When the probe is connected, the display will prompt you to enter the desired food temperature. The maximum internal food temperature that you can set is 200° F.

To use the probe without preheating:

1. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
2. Place the food in the oven and connect the probe into the probe outlet in the oven.
3. Press the Cook Mode pad (Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads. Press Options and select Probe then follow the display prompts to enter the desired food temperature.

CARE AND CLEANING

Range – Exterior

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
WARNING If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

Control Lockout

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.
See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.

Control Panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel-they will damage the finish, including Black Stainless Steel.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.
Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface, including Black Stainless Steel.

Stainless Steel excluding Black Stainless Steel (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

Range – Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Self Clean mode.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces, use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend®, with a non-scratch sponge. Take care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to the door glass, as it will scratch the reflective coating. The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using a soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and water solution. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Steam Clean Mode

The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your oven at a lower temperature than Self Clean.
