  • – Take care that children do not come too close to the appliance.
  • – Failing to do so may result in children burning themselves.
• Do not place food or heavy objects over the edge of the oven door.
  • – If you open the door, the food or object may fall, and this may result in burns or injury.
• Do not abruptly cool the door, the inside of the appliance, or a dish by pouring water over it during or just after cooking.

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 5-10 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 reheating the oven, plan oven use to avoid turning the oven off between
  cooking one item and then the next.
• Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.

Cooktop cooking

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.

Location of the radiant surface elements and controls
The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface elements on the cooktop as shown below.

1. Left Front: 6”/9”, 3,300 W
2. Left Rear: 6”, 1,200 W
3. Right Front: 6”/9”/12”, 3,000 W
4. Right Rear: 6”, 1,200 W
5. Warming center: 100 W
6. Hot surface indicator
7. Cooktop on 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, a glow can be seen 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 30.

How to set the appliance for cooktop cooking

Surface unit control knob

1. Push the knob in.
2. Turn in either direction to the setting you want.

• Position A: Single burner
• Position B: Dual burner
• Position C: Triple burner

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 pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

CORRECT

Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight-fitting lids.
• The weight of the handle does not tilt the pan.
• Pan is well balanced.
• Pan size matches the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
• Made of a material that conducts heat well. Always match the pot diameter to the element surface diameter.

INCORRECT

Curved and warped pan bottoms.

Pan overhangs the element by more than one-half inch.

Pan is smaller than the element.

Heavy handle tilts the pan.

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 (see above).
• STAINLESS STEEL – Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. It is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• CAST IRON – A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once the 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 glass

Protecting the smoothtop

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 dishcloth 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.
