IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Knowwhichknobcontrolseachsurface

heating unit.

• UseProperPanSize—This appliance is

equipped with one or more surface units of

differentsizes.Selectutensilshavingat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit.

The use of undersized utensils will expose

a portion of the surface heating unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit

willalsoimproveefciency.

• UtensilHandlesShouldBeTurnedInward

and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent

Surface Units—To reduce the risk of burns,

ignitionofammablematerials,andspillage

due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

The handle of the utensil should be positioned

so that it is turned inward, and does not extend

overadjacentsurfaceunit.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—

Boiloverscausesmokingandgreasyspillovers

that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may

melt.

• Protectiveliners—Donotusealuminum

foil to line oven bottom or any other part of

the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as

recommended for baking if used as a cover

placed on the food. Any other used of protective

liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of

electricshockorreorashortcircuit.

• 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 recommendations for cooktop

use.

• DoNotUseDecorativeSurfaceElement

Covers— If an element is accidentally turned

on, the decorative cover will become hot and

possiblymelt.Burnswilloccurifthehotcovers

aretouched.Damagemayalsobedonetothe

cooktop.

• DoNotCleanorOperateaBrokenCooktop

ALWAYS INSTALL OVEN RACK SUPPORT BEFORE

TURNING ON THE OVEN (WHEN THE OVEN IS

To install oven rack support, insert the supports by

pushing them downward into the two brackets on each

side of the oven interior, as shown below.

To remove the oven rack support for a self-clean

cycle, pull up the support to disengage them from

the brackets. If the rack supports are not removed,

the self-clean cycle won’t start.

The oven is vented above each door. When the oven

is on, warm air is released through the vents. This

venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the

oven and good baking results.

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 underneath. Make sure the

diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the

element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred

up through the surface of the cooktop to the

cookware.Onlyat-bottomcookwareshouldbe

used. The type and size of cookware, the number

of surface elements in use and the 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.

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efcient

cooking, turn off the element several minutes

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual

heat to complete the cooking process.

Your range is equipped with radiant surface

burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to

heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases

as the element wattage increases.

About the ceramic glass

cooktop

About the radiant surface

elements

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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is

normal and can also occur if the cookware is too

small for the radiant element or if the cookware

bottomisnotat.

Please read detailed instructions for ceramic

glass cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning

section and Solutions to Common Problems

section of this Use and Care Guide.

Surface cooking utensils

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended

purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some

utensils were not made to be used in the oven or

on the cooktop.

Surface Cooking

Cookware material types Setting the cooktop

Available cooktop settings

Element size indicators

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&pitting).If

aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass

cooktop, they may leave metal marks which

will resemble scratches. Remove these marks

immediately.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors

easily.Mayleavemetalmarksonceramicglass

(see Aluminum above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with

uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean

and resists staining.

CAST IRON - A poor 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 cooktop control provides 5 digital display

windows to help set power levels for the heating

zones located on the cooktop. These settings work

the same way as normal knob settings except the

settingsaredisplayedinLCDstyledisplays.

Your control provides 25 different settings for each

heating zone. Some of these power levels include

Lo (1%) Fig. 1, 5.0 (medium 50%) Fig. 2, Hi

(100%) Fig. 3.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3

Some cooktop zone positions offer 2 or 3 different

element sizes. At these locations, you may choose

to use the single inner heating ring only or you may

add 1 or 2 more heating rings with each press of

the BURNERSIZE key.

The number of circles displayed at the element

zoneLCDrepresentsthenumberofheatingrings

available for that position.

The hi+ and lo- keys provide incremental

adjustmentsformoreprecisecontrolwhen

changing settings between the lower heat levels

(Lo to 3.0 power levels). Higher heat level setting

changes (between 3.0 to HI) will change much

faster.

Hotelement(HE)message

After using any of the

radiant element positions

the ceramic cooktop will

become very hot. Even

after turning the control off,

the cooktop will remain hot

for some time.

The cooktop control

monitors the temperature

of the cooktop surface

and displays a message

“HE” (hot element) and

ashestheburnerrings

when the cooktop is still too hot to touch -Fig. 1-.

If the HEmessageremainsdisplayedintheLCD,

the heating zone may be set again and used for

cooking.

Fig. 1

Radiant surface elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been turned off. The

Hot Element Message 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.

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.

About rapid preheat

Use the rapid preheat option on single rack

baking to quickly bring the upper oven to baking

temperature.

The rapid preheat option may be set with the

following cooking features:

• Bake

• Convbake

The following temperature settings apply to the

rapid preheat feature:

• Auto-suggest(default)setting: 350°F/176°C

Setting rapid preheat

See example below to set a rapid preheat

with bake to start immediately using default

temperature.

When START is pressed the oven will preheat

quickly. The control will display PRE-HEATING

during this time. While PREHEATING the

Convection fan may operate.
