Instructions
The Delay Start keypad is used to enter the starting time for an oven function with a delayed
start. Delay Start 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 the "Cook Time" section.
Cook Time 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 the "Cook Time" section.

COOKTOP USE

Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area may glow red when an element is ON.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when
an element is ON. The glow will also randomly cycle off and back
on again, even while on Hi, to keep the cooktop from extreme
temperatures. This is normal operation.
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. affresh
Cleaner and the Cooktop Scraper are also recommended for
stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or
harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit 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.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
■
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
cause pitting and permanent marks.
