INSTRUCTIONS
The Start Time keypad is used to enter the starting time for an oven function with a delayed start.
Start Time should not be used for foods such as breads and cakes because they may not bake
properly.
To set a Timed Cook or a Delayed Timed Cook, see "Cook Time" section.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of
time, and/or shut off automatically.
To set a Timed Cook or a Delayed Timed Cook, see "Cook Time" section.
See the "Self-Cleaning Cycle" section.
1. Check that the oven is off.
2. Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK keypad for 3 seconds.
3. A tone will sound, and "Loc" will be displayed.
4. Repeat to unlock. Only the CLOCK, OVEN LIGHT and TIMER keypads will function with the
controls locked. The cooktop functions are not affected by the oven control lockout.

COOKTOP USE

Coil Elements and Burner Bowls (on some models)
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cooktop. They also help
catch spills.
Cookware should not extend move than ½" (1.3 cm) over the coil
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess
heat, causing the burner bowl to change color.
Ceramic Glass (on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an
element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle on
and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also randomly
cycle off and back on again even while in High to keep the cooktop
from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear
to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting,
abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass
cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for
stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or
harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number
31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your
ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the "Range Care" section for
additional information.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each
use to remove all soils.
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy
or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
