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.

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.

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.
