Before you begin

Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for the first time. Then, remove the accessories, set the oven to bake, and then run the oven at 400 °F for 1 hour. There will be a distinctive odor. This is normal.

Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.

Energy saving tips

• During cooking, the oven door should remain closed except when you turn food over.
• Do not open the door frequently during cooking to maintain the oven temperature and to save energy. If cooking time is more than 30 minutes, you can switch the oven off minutes before the end of the cooking time to save energy. The residual heat will complete the cooking process.
• To save energy and reduce the time needed for re-heating the oven, plan oven use to avoid turning the oven off between cooking one item and the next.
• Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.

Surface cooking

About surface cooking

CAUTION

BEFORE COOKING

• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
• Turn the surface units on only after placing cookware on them.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and damage it.

CAUTION

DURING COOKING

• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the range when it is in use. The hot air from the vent could melt plastics or ignite flammable items.
• Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
• Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
• The cooling fan can be operated during cooktop cooking.

CAUTION

AFTER COOKING

• Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
• The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass surface before it has cooled down sufficiently.
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
• If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the items are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays.

About the radiant surface elements

The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant 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.

NOTE

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 cooktop. 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.

NOTE

When you operate the knob, beep sounds once.

Location of the radiant surface elements and controls

The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface elements on the cooktop as shown below.

01 Left Front: 7", 1800 W (Bridge 2600 W)

02 Left Rear: 7", 1800 W

03 Right Front: 6"/9"/12", 3000 W

04 Right Rear: 6", 1200 W

05 Warming Center: 100 W

06 Hot surface indicator

Hot surface indicator

• Comes on when the unit is turned on or hot to the touch.
• Stays on even after the unit is turned off.
• Glows until the unit is cooled to approximately 150 °F.

Cooking areas

• The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooking surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
• Pans should not extend more than ½˝ to 1˝ beyond the cooking area.
• When a control is turned on, you can see a glow through the glass cooking surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even at high settings.
• For more information on selecting proper types of cookware, refer to the section "Using the proper cookware" on page 27.

How to set the appliance for surface cooking

CAUTION

• The surface elements may be hot even when off and burns can occur. Do not touch the surface elements until they have cooled down sufficiently.

Recommended settings

Using the warming center

The warming center, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature.

NOTE

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

CAUTION

• Do not warm food on the warming center for more than two hours.
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming center as cookware and plates will be hot.
• When warming pastries and breads, use covers that have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean off.
• Food should be kept in its container and covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.
• Always start with hot food. Eating uncooked or cold food placed on the warming center could result in illness.

1. To turn the warming center on, press the Warming Center On/Off pad.

Recommended settings

Using the proper cookware

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking times. Using the proper pots and pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

Choosing the proper cookware

What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.

• ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.). If aluminum pans are slid across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches. Remove these marks as soon as the cooktop cools down.
• COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (To remove, see above.)
• STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
• ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on the 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 surface.

Protecting the cooktop

Cleaning

• Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time.
• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
• If a spillover occurs while you are cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe the spill with a clean, dry towel.
• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.
• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.
• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on a glass-ceramic surface.

Preventing marks and scratches

• Do not use glass cookware. It may scratch the cooktop.
• Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan. These items can mark or scratch the cooktop.
• Make sure the cooktop and the pan bottom are clean.
• Do not slide metal pans across the cooktop.

Preventing stains

• Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain, which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface can result in a permanent stain.

Preventing other damage

• Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately.
• Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the cooktop and the pan.
• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
• Do not cook food directly on the cooktop. Always use the proper cookware.

Using the oven racks

Oven rack positions (single mode)

Recommended rack porition for cooking • This table is for reference only.

Oven rack positions with partition (twin mode)

		The upper oven has 2 rack positions (A, B). The lower oven has 4 rack positions (1-4). • This table is for reference only.
		If you use the Recessed rack, the recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the position you want for the food. For example, if you want the food in rack position 2, you need to put the recessed ends in position 3. See the illustration on the left.

Rack and Pan placement

Centering the baking pans in the oven as much as possible will produce better results. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1˝ to 1½˝ of air space around it. When baking on a single oven rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. See the figure on the left. When baking cakes and cookies on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5. Using Multiple Oven Racks

Before using the racks

The oven has two racks.

Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops will keep the rack from coming completely out.

REMOVING THE RACKS

1. Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2. Lift up the front of the rack, and then pull it out.

REPLACING THE RACKS

1. Place the end of the rack on the support.
2. Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.

CAUTION

• Do not cover a rack with aluminum foil or place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. This will hamper heat circulation, resulting in poor baking, and may damage the oven bottom.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.

Using the gliding rack

The fully extendable Gliding Rack makes food preparation easier, especially when you are preparing heavier dishes. The Gliding Rack has 2 glide tracks that allow you to extend the rack well out of the oven without touching the sides of the oven walls.

Installing the Gliding rack

• With the Gliding rack in the "Closed" position and the oven off, carefully insert the Gliding Rack between the guides until the rack reaches the back.
• When using the Gliding Rack in the oven, be sure to pull on the handle of the rack only to slide it in and out. If you grasp the frame while using the rack, the entire Gliding Rack will be removed. Make sure you use oven mitts when handling the Gliding Rack during cooking

Removing the Gliding rack

• With the Gliding rack in the "Closed" position and the oven off and cool, grasp the rack and frame and pull both forward to remove.

CAUTION

• Do not install the Gliding rack directly above the Flat rack and Recessed rack. You will not be able to install it properly and the rack could fall.

NOTE

You can install the Gliding rack in any rack positions except the highest (level 7) and lowest (level 1) rack position in the oven.

Using the partition

• To use twin mode operation, insert the partition.
• You cannot use the Self-Clean or Steam-Clean functions when the partition is installed in the oven cavity.
• Handle the partition with both hands.
• Use oven gloves when inserting or removing the partition.

To Install the Partition into the Oven Cavity

1. Insert the partition into the 5th rack position of the cavity.
2. Push the partition in until its back end rests against the back of the cavity.
3. If the partition is installed correctly, the icon appears on the display.

To Insert the Partition into the Partition Storage Location

1. Open the warming drawer.

2. Tilt the partition up slightly and rest it on the slides on either side of the storage location.

3. Tip the partition down and push it in

Baking

The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 175 °F to 550 °F. Baking temperature and time will vary depending on the ingredients and the size and shape of the baking pan used. Dark or nonstick coatings may cook faster with more browning.

How to set the temperature

1. To use twin mode, insert the partition and then press LOWER. If you are using single mode, skip this step.
2. Press Bake. The default temperature is 350 °F.
3. Enter the temperature you want on the number pad, eg. 3, 7, 5.
4. Press START/SET. The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F.
5. If you want to cancel baking or if you have finished, press OVEN OFF (LOWER OVEN OFF).

Place food in the oven after preheating if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is very important for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry, and breads. After the oven has reached the desired temperature, the range will beep 6 times.

NOTE

For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.

How to adjust the temperature while cooking

1. Press Bake. The display will show the present temperature, eg. 375 °F.
2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 425 °F, using the number pad.
3. Complete the entry by pressing START/SET.

Convection baking

By using the convection bake feature, you will be able to cook faster. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results while using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection baking. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. You can program the oven for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 550 °F.

Tips for convection baking

The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark finish will produce faster cooking times. When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in position 3 and 5. When baking a cake, using the bake mode (not the convection bake mode) will produce better results.

How to set the oven for convection baking

1. To use twin mode, insert the partition and the press UPPER or LOWER. If you are using single mode (no partition), skip this step.
2. Press Bake. The default temperature is 350 °F.
3. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, using the number pad.
4. Press START/SET. The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F. The range will beep 6 times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven temperature.
5. To turn off or cancel convection baking, press OVEN OFF (UPPER OVEN OFF or LOWER OVEN OFF).

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

• DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

NOTE

• When you have finished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has cooled down.

NOTE

For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.

Convection roasting

Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for moist and tender results while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

How to set the oven for convection roasting

1. To use twin mode, insert the partition and then press UPPER. If you are using single mode (no partition), skip this step.
2. Press Roast. The default temperature is 350 °F.
3. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, using the number pad.
4. Press START/SET. The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F. The range will beep 6 times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven temperature.
5. To turn off or cancel convection roasting, Press OVEN OFF (UPPER OVEN OFF).

• When you have finished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has cooled down.

NOTE

For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.

Broiling

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.

The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. Broil mode is best for meats, fish, and poultry up to 1" thick.

How to set the oven for broiling

1. To use twin mode, insert the partition and then press UPPER. If you are using single mode (no partition), skip this step.
2. Press Broil once for Hi or twice for Lo. (You can select Hi or Lo by pressing Hi+ or Lo-.) Use Lo to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.
3. To start broiling, press START/SET. Broil one side until the food is browned. Turn over and broil the other side.
4. Press OVEN OFF (UPPER OVEN OFF) once you have finished cooking or if you want to cancel broiling.

NOTE

• This oven is designed for CLOSED DOOR broiling. The oven door must be closed during broiling.

3. Salmon steak

Salmon steak is specially designed to cook salmon steaks.

4. White fish fillet

White fish fillet is specially designed to cook white fish fillets.

5. Dehydrate (Single Only)

Dehydrate dries food or removes moisture from food via heat circulation. After drying the food, keep it in a cool and dry place. For fruit, adding lemon or pineapple juice or sprinkling sugar on the fruit helps the fruit retain sweetness.

See the table below for Dehydrate settings.

6. Bread proof (Single Only)

Bread proof provides an optimal temperature for the bread proofing process, and therefore does not require a temperature adjustment. For the best results, always start the Bread proof option with a cool oven.

CAUTION

• Do not use Bread proof when the oven temperature is above 125 ˚F. If temperature is above 125 ˚F, this mode won’t be able to use. Wait until the oven cools down.
• Do not use Bread proof for warming food. The proofing temperature is not hot enough to keep food warm.
• Place the dough in a heat-safe container on rack position 3 or 4 and cover it with a cloth or with plastic wrap. The plastic wrap may need to be anchored underneath the container so that the oven does not blow the plastic wrap off the dough.
• To avoid lowering the temperature and extending proofing time, do not open the oven door.

Using the warming drawer

About the warming drawer

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods warm. Always start with hot food. Do not use to warm cold food other than bread, crackers, chips, or dry cereal. Allow approximately 25 minutes for the warming drawer to preheat.

• Do not line the warming drawer or pan with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will impede the performance of the drawer and could damage the interior finish.
• Do not put liquid or water in the warming drawer.
• All food placed in the warming drawer should be covered with a lid. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.
• Remove serving spoons, etc. before placing containers in the warming drawer.
• Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.

CAUTION

Plastic containers or plastic wrap will melt if in direct contact with the drawer pan, or a hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty

Turning the warming drawer on or off

1. Set the warming drawer to the heat level you want. Press WARMING DRAWER once for low, twice for medium, or 3 times for high, or 4 times for off. The warming drawer starts automatically once you have finished selecting the level you want.
2. To turn the warming drawer off, press WARMING DRAWER until the warming drawer turns off.

NOTE

• Pressing OVEN OFF does not turn the warming drawer off.
• The warming drawer cannot be used during a self-cleaning cycle.

Recommended settings

NOTE

• Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the same time. For best results, do not leave food in the warming drawer for longer than 1 hour. Do not leave smaller quantities or heat-sensitive food, such as eggs, for longer than 30 minutes.
• The warming drawer will shut off automatically after 3 hours.

Maintaining your appliance

Self-cleaning

This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

CAUTION

• During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range will become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the selfcleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will result in poor heat distribution, poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt and adhere to the interior surface of the oven.
• Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle is complete. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Before a self-cleaning cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the selfcleaning cycle. Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil pan insert, all cookware, and any aluminum foil from the oven. Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. (Fig. 1) The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster, and become hard to slide. Residue on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads, or cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water and dry. Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, have it replaced. (Fig. 2) Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

NOTE Remove oven racks and accessories before starting the self-clean mode.

How to run a self-cleaning cycle

1. Select the length of time for the self-cleaning operation, eg. 3 hours. Press Self Clean once for a 3 hour clean time, twice for a 5 hour clean time, or times for a 2 hour clean time. The default setting is 3 hours.
2. Press START/SET to start the self-cleaning cycle. The motor-driven door lock will engage automatically.

NOTE

• You will not be able to start a self-cleaning cycle if the control lockout feature is activated or if the oven’s temperature is too hot.
• The oven door locks automatically. The display will show the cleaning time remaining. It is not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops to a safe/cool temperature.
• The self-cleaning feature will not operate when the warming center is on.

3. When the self-cleaning cycle is done, End will appear in the display and the range will beep 6 times.

How to delay the start of self-cleaning

1. Press Self Clean. Select the desired self-clean time by pressing Self Clean.
2. Press Delay Start.
3. Enter the time you want the clean cycle to start.
4. Press START/SET. The display will show Delay, Self clean, and the Lock icon. The motor-driven door lock will engage automatically.
5. The Self-Cleaning cycle will turn on automatically at the set time.

How to turn off the self-cleaning feature

You may find it necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to smoke in the oven.

1. Press OVEN OFF.
2. You will be able to open the oven door once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 hour.

After a self-cleaning cycle

1. You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools. (If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.)
2. If the oven is not clean after one cycle, repeat the cycle.
3. You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.

Steam-cleaning

How to set the oven for steam-cleaning

For light cleaning, the Steam-cleaning function saves time and energy. For heavierduty cleaning, use the self-cleaning function.

1. Remove all accessories from the oven.
2. Pour approximately 10 oz. (300 ml) of water onto the bottom of the empty oven and then close the oven door. Use normal water only, not distilled water.
3. Press Steam Clean.
4. Press START/SET. When the operation is complete, the display will blink and a beep will sound.
5. Press OVEN OFF.
6. Clean the oven’s interior. There will be a significant amount of water remaining on the bottom of the oven after a steam-cleaning cycle. Remove the residual water with a sponge or soft dry cloth.

NOTE

When steam-cleaning, use exactly 10 oz. of water since this produces the best results.

NOTE

If you press Steam Clean when the oven temperature is above 100˚F, Hot will appear in the display. Because this function produces the best results when started while the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and Hot disappears from the display.

After a steam-cleaning cycle

• Take care when opening the door before a steam-cleaning procedure has ended. The water on the bottom is hot.
• Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. Wipe the oven clean and dry with a soft cloth. Do not forget to wipe under the oven door seal.
• Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove lime deposits with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
• If the oven remains dirty, you can repeat the procedure once the oven has cooled.
• For heavy residue, such as grease left over from roasting, we recommend that you rub detergent into the residue before activating the steam-cleaning function.
• After cleaning, leave the oven door ajar at a 15° angle to allow the interior enamel surface to dry thoroughly

Care and cleaning of the oven

WARNING

• Be sure all controls are OFF and all surfaces are COOL before cleaning any part of the range.

• If your range is moved for cleaning, servicing, or any reason, be sure the Anti-Tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. If you fail to reengage the Anti-Tip device, the range could tip and cause serous injury.

Oven vent

• The oven vent is located below the control panel.
• This area could become hot during oven use.
• It is normal for steam to come out of the vent.
• The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent.

Cleaning painted parts and decorative trim

• For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot, soapy water.
• For more difficult residue and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the area and leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these surfaces. They can scratch.

Cleaning stainless steel surfaces

1. Shake the bottle of Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or Polish well.
2. Place a small amount of stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or damp paper towel.
3. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.
4. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.
5. Repeat as necessary.

NOTE

• Do not use a steel-wool pad. It will scratch the surface.
• If a mineral oil-based stainless steel appliance cleaner has been used before to clean the appliance, wash the surface with dishwashing liquid and water prior to using the Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or Polish.

Oven racks

• If the racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-cleaning cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of oil. This will help the racks glide more easily on their tracks.
• Gliding racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. During cleaning, be careful not to allow water or cleaner to enter the slides on the sides of rack.

NOTE

• Do not clean in a dishwasher.
• If the rack becomes hard to remove or replace, lightly wipe the oven rack guides with cooking oil. Do not wipe cooking oil on the slides.
• If the rack becomes difficult to slide, the rack may need to be lubricated using a graphite lubricant.

NOTE

To order graphite lubricant., call Samsung customer care at 1-800-SAMSUNG or visit our homepage and reference part number DG81-01629A.

To lubricate the slides

Oven door

• Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

Care and cleaning of the glass cooktop

Normal daily use cleaning

Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Other creams may not be as effective. By following these steps, you can maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop.

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse.

WARNING

DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you use scrub pads other than those recommended.

Removing burned-on residue

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area.
3. Using a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub the residue area, applying pressure as needed.
4. If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above as needed.
5. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface by applying ceramic cooktop cleaner with a paper towel.

Removing heavy, burned-on residue

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Use a single-edge razor-blade scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the soil. It will be necessary to apply pressure to remove the residue.
3. After scraping with the razor scraper, spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area. Use a cleaning pad to remove any remaining residue. (Do not scrape the seal.)
4. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface by applying ceramic cooktop cleaner with a paper towel.

Removing metal marks and scratches

1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave marks on the cooktop surface. You can remove these marks by applying ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. You should remove this discoloration immediately or it may become permanent.

WARNING

Carefully check the bottoms of pans for roughness that may scratch the cooktop.

Cleaning the cooktop seal

To clean the seal around the edges of the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a nonabrasive cleaner.

Potential for permanent damage to the glass surface

• Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop. This is not covered under the warranty. You should clean the spill while it is still hot. Take special care when removing hot substances. Refer to the section below.
• When using a scraper, be sure it is new and the razor blade is still sharp. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Cleaning sugary spills and melted plastic

1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a single-edge razor-blade scraper to move the spill to a cool area of the cooktop. Remove the spill with paper towels.
3. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.
4. Don’t use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely removed.

NOTE

If pitting or indentations in the glass surface have already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
