Areas near surfacezones may become hot enough to cause burns.During and after use, do not touch, or letclothing or other flammable materials touchthese areas until they have had sufficient timeto cool. Among these areas are the cook top,surfaces facing the cook top, the oven ventopenings and surfaces near these openings,oven door and window.

• Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting orhanging garments should never be wornwhile using the appliance. Do not let clothingor other flammable materials contact hotsurfaces.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—Smother the fire with a pan lid, or usebaking soda, a dry chemical or foam-typeextinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch itclosely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowedto become too hot.

• Use only dry potholders - Moist or damppotholders on hot surfaces may result inburns from steam. Do not let potholders touchhot heating elements. Do not use a towel orother bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers -Buildup of pressure may cause container toburst and result in injury.

• To avoid a possible fire hazard, never useyour appliance for warming or heating aroom.

• Do not cook foods directly on the ovenbottom. To avoid damaging the oven interioralways use proper cookware and always usethe oven racks.

CAUTION

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil toline the oven bottom, except as suggested inthe manual. Improper installation of these linersmay result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

Important instructions for using yourcooktop• Know which control operates each surface

heating zone. Place a pan of food on the unitbefore turning it on, and turn the zone off beforeremoving the pan.

• Use proper pan size—This appliance isequipped with one or more surface units ofdifferent sizes. Select utensils having flatbottoms large enough to cover the surface unitheating element. The use of undersized utensilswill expose a portion of the heating element todirect contact and may result in ignition ofclothing. Proper relationship of utensil toelement will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward andnot extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition offlammable materials, and spillage due tounintentional contact with the utensil, the handleof the utensil should be positioned so that it isturned inward, and does not extend overadjacent surface units.

• Never leave surface elements unattended athigh heat settings—Boilovers cause smokingand greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a panthat has boiled dry may melt.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Alwaysfollow the manufacturer’s recommendeddirections for use. Be aware that excessresidue from cleaners and aerosols may ignitecausing damage and injury.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Greaseshould not be allowed to accumulate on thehood or filter. Follow manufacturer’sinstructions for cleaning.

Important instructions for using youroven• Use care when opening oven door or lower

oven drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the sideof the range when opening the door of a hotoven. Let hot air or steam escape before youremove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Theoven vent is located under the left rear surfaceelement if your model is equipped with coilelements. The oven vent is located below thebackguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in thisarea when the oven is operating may causesevere burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. Theseitems could melt or ignite.

• Placement of oven racks. Always place ovenracks in desired location while oven is cool. Ifrack must be moved while oven is hot useextreme caution. Use potholders and grasp therack with both hands to reposition. Do not letpotholders contact the hot heating elements inthe oven. Remove all utensils from the rackbefore moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat todrain and be kept away from the high heat of thebroiler.

Important safety noticeThe California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor ofCalifornia to publish a list of substances known tothe state to cause cancer, birth defects or otherreproductive harm, and requires businesses towarn customers of potential exposure to suchsubstances.

Self cleaning ovens• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the

8 Surface Cooking

CookwareUsing proper cookwareThe size and type of cookware will influencesettings needed for the best cooking results. Besure to follow the recommendations for usingproper cookware as illustrated.

Cookware material typesThe cookware material determines how evenly andquickly heat is transferred from the surface elementto the pan bottom. The most popular materialsavailable are:• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some

types of food will cause it to darken (Anodizedaluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). Ifaluminum pans slide across the ceramiccooktop, they may leave metal marks which willresemble scratches. Remove these marksimmediately.

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolorseasily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass(see Aluminum above).

• Stainless steel - Slow heat conductor withuneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to cleanand resists staining.

• Cast iron - A poor heat conductor however willretain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cookingtemperature is reached. Not recommended foruse on ceramic cooktops.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heatingcharacteristics will vary depending on basematerial. Porcelain-enamel coating must besmooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

• Glass- Slow heat conductor. Not recommendedfor ceramic cooktop surfaces because it mayscratch the glass.

Cookware should always:• Have flat bottoms.• Have tight fitting lids.• Be well-balanced.• Be made of material that conducts heat well.• Be easy to clean.• Match to the size of the element.

• have acurved orwarpedbottom.

• hang overthe surfaceelement bymore thanone-halfinch.

• be smallerthan theelement bymore thanone-halfinch.

• have aheavyhandle thattilts the pan.

Cookware should not:

For more information about the ceramic cooktopsee “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in the Care& Cleaning section.

Cookware shouldhave flat bottomsthat make goodcontact with theentire surfaceheating element.Check for flatnessby rotating a ruleracross the bottomof the cookware.

About the radiant surface elementsThe element temperature rises gradually andevenly. As the temperature rises, the element willglow red. To maintain the selected setting, theelement will cycle on and off. The heating elementretains enough heat to provide a uniform andconsistent heat even during the off cycle. Forefficient cooking, turn off the element severalminutes before cooking is complete. This will allowresidual heat to complete the cooking process.

How the cooktop worksAbout the ceramic glass cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elementsmounted below the surface of the glass. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktopto the cookware.

The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines thearea of the surface element underneath. Yourrange is equipped with radiant surface burners withdifferent wattage ratings. The ability to heat foodquicker and in larger volumes increases as theelement wattage increases.

The type and size of cookware, the number ofsurface elements in use and the settings, are allfactors that will affect the amount of heat that willspread to areas beyond the surface elements. Theareas surrounding the elements may become hotenough to cause burns.

NOTES• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows

the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at theHI setting. This helps to prevent damage tothe ceramic cooktop. Cycling at highersettings is normal. Cycling may also occur ifthe cookware is too small for the radiantelement or if the cookware bottom is warped(refer to Using Proper Cookware on page 7).

• Read the detailed instructions for ceramicglass cooktop cleaning in both the Care andCleaning and Before You Call sections ofthis Use and Care Manual.

Unlike the surface elements, the keep warmzone will not glow red when it is hot.

Always use potholders or oven mitts whenremoving food from the keep warm zone ascookware and plates will be hot.

Radiant surface elements may appear to havecooled after they have been turned off. Theglass surface may still be hot and burns mayoccur if the glass surface is touched before ithas cooled.

Do not place flammable items such as plasticsalt and pepper shakers, spoon holders orplastic wrappings on top of the range when it isin use. These items could melt or ignite.Potholders, towels or wooden spoons couldcatch fire if placed too close to the surfaceelements.

CAUTION

Surface Cooking

Be sure to read and observe all the followingpoints when home canning using yourappliance:

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when homecanning. Use a straight-edge to check cannerbottom.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boilmore quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringingthe water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved,reduce heat to lowest possible setting tomaintain that boil.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does notexceed 1 inch beyond the surface elementmarkings. It is recommended to use smallerdiameter canners on electric coil and ceramicglass cooktops.

• When using two canners at the same time,stagger the canners on the left and right sides ofthe cooktop. This will help distribute the heatmore evenly.

Home Canning

Be sure to review the latest online informationavailable for home canning. Some suggestionswould be the U.S. Department of AgricultureFood Safety and Inspection Service or theNational Center for Home Food Preservation(NCHFP).

IMPORTANTDO NOT straddle a cooking utensil over twodifferent surface cooking areas at the sametime. This might cause the ceramic cooktop tofracture.

IMPORTANTDo not allow aluminum foil or ANY materialthat can melt to make contact with theceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt onthe cooktop they will damage the ceramiccooktop.

Conv roast

How conv roast works

Convection (conv) roast combines a cook cycle withthe convection fan and element to rapidly roastmeats and poultry. Heated air circulates around themeat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.Meats cooked with this feature are crispy andbrown on the outside while staying moist inside.There is no need to reduce the oven temperaturewhen using conv roast.

Conv roast may be set with the followingoptions:• Cook time• Cook time with end time

The following oven temperature settings apply forconv roast:• Factory default temperature: 350°F/176°C• Min. conv roast setting: 170°F / 76°C• Max. conv roast setting: 550°F / 288°C

Benefits of conv roast:• Superior multiple oven rack performance.• Some foods will cook faster, saving time and

energy.

The fresh clean feature provides 3 different cleantime settings for self-cleaning. Set clean for 2 hoursfor light, 3 hours for normal or 4 hours for heaviersoils.

Setting fresh clean

Fresh clean combines self-clean with an added airfreshening feature. The air cleaner will eliminatebaked on food odors during self-clean but may noteliminate all odors. The air cleaner is not active forother oven functions.

A self-cleaning oven automatically cleans itselfusing much higher temperatures than those usedfor cooking. The self-clean feature eliminates soilscompletely or reduces them to a fine powdered ashthat you can later easily wipe away with a dampcloth.

When the fresh clean cycle has finished:

1. The time of day and "Hot" will show in thedisplay (Figure 6).

2. Once the oven has cooled (about 1 hour) and"Hot" is no longer displayed, the "door OPn"message will appear (Figure 7). When thismessage turns OFF the door has finishedunlocking.

Once active, the door lock motor will begin lockingthe oven door. "door Loc" (Figure 4) will appear inthe display. DO NOT try to open the oven doorwhen the "door Loc" message is on (allow about15 seconds for the oven door to completely lock).DO NOT force the oven door open. This coulddamage the door locking system. Once the ovendoor is locked the "door Loc" message will turn offand "CLn" (Figure 5) will remain in the display forthe entire clean cycle.

3. When the oven is cool, wipe away any residueor powdered ash from the oven interior using adamp cloth or paper towel.

To stop fresh clean at any time, press CANCEL.The first fresh clean cycle will not be odor-free.These odors are normal and are a result of themanufacturing process.

Do not use abrasive cleaners on controls or trim; they canscratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure tosqueeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping control panel;especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in oraround the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing,use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess waterfrom dishcloth before wiping the control panel.

• Stainless Steel(some models)

Clean stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth.Rinse with clean water and dry with soft clean cloth. Do not use harshscrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners especially made for cleaningstainless steel. Always be sure to rinse cleaners from the surface as bluishstains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove mostspots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary,cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40mins. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with asoap-filled no-scratch cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes,sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on surfaces; they maycause a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Porcelain enamelparts

• Broiler pan and broilerpan insert

Remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before startingself-clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside theoven door gasket. For important preparation information be sure to readall the instructions in the self-cleaning section.

• Oven interior

• Oven racks Do not clean oven racks in oven during the self-clean cycle. Removeand clean using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer'sinstructions. Thoroughly rinse and dry.

• Oven door Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the ovendoor. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of theoven door. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allowwater or glass cleaner to enter the door vents. To avoid scratches, donot use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaningmaterials on the outside of the oven door. Do not clean the oven doorgasket. On self-cleaning models the oven door gasket is made of a wovenmaterial which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not torub, damage or remove this gasket.Refer to "Cooktop cleaning" and "Cooktop maintenance" in the Careand Cleaning section.

• Ceramic cooktop

48 Care and Cleaning

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential tomaintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Cooktop maintenance Cooktop cleaning

Do not:• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;

replace with clean cookware before using.• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work

surface in the kitchen.• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface

without a pan.• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass

cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of the ceramic glass cooktopcleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towelor use a non-abrasive, no-scratch cleaning pad toclean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure thecooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of the ceramic glass cooktopcleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiledarea using a non-abrasive, no-scratch cleaningpad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use thepad you use to clean the cooktop for any otherpurpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a razorblade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angleto the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktopcleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, applysome of the cooktop cleaner supplied with your newappliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaningeasier when soiled from cooking. The specialcooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finishon the glass to help prevent scratches andabrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans onthe cooktop can cause metal markings on thecooktop surface. These marks should be removedimmediately after the cooktop has cooled using thecooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can becomepermanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) withrough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch thecooktop surface.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controlsare turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

CAUTION

49

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately.Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktopsurface) may occur if not removed immediately.After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razorblade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt andscrape the soil from the hot surface. Allow thecooktop to cool. Use the same method for heavy orburned on soils.

Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)

Do not use the following on the cooktop:• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,

such as metal and some nylon pads. They mayscratch the cooktop, making it more difficult toclean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorinebleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they mayetch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels,as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktopwhich can burn and cause discoloration.

Aluminum foil and oven linersDo not use oven bottom liners or use aluminumfoil to cover the oven racks.

Using a liner inthe ovenrestricts theheat and airflow needed toobtain the bestpossiblecooking resultsfor any oven.

During self-clean the oven temperature canbecome hot enough to melt aluminum cookingutensils or aluminum foil if left in the oven. Thiscould result in permanent damage to the oveninterior and porcelain finish.

CAUTIONProtective liners—Do not use aluminum foil toline the oven bottom, except as suggested in themanual. Improper installation of these liners mayresult in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occurif you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Onlyuse cleaning products that have been specificallydesigned for ceramic glass cooktops.
