CAUTION • Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware. • Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board. • Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface. Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. •...
COOKING AREAS The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. Pans should not extend more than 1/2" to 1" (1.3 cm to 2.5 cm) beyond the cooking area. When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooktop surface.
USING THE COOKTOP ELEMENTS Turning on a Single Element OFF position HI position LO position 1. Select a single element, and find its control knob. 2. Push the control knob in and turn it in either direction to the desired setting.
In Case of Power Failure The electric cooktop and oven cannot be used during a power outage. If power is lost while a cooktop element is on, the cooktop element will turn back on as soon as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn all cooktop element knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.

Choosing Cookware The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. Recommended • Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).
OVEN BEFORE USING THE OVEN Read the instructions for each feature and cooking mode in this manual carefully before using the oven. CAUTION • Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
WARNING FOOD POISONING HAZARD • Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. • Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first.
USING OVEN RACKS The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled out of the oven cavity. CAUTION • Replace oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns. • Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place anything on the bottom of the oven.
PREHEATING Preheating is generally desirable, although not absolutely necessary in all circumstances. • For oven modes that utilizes preheat, the control will automatically enter preheat mode and show "100°F" after START/OK is pressed to turn on the oven. When the oven temperature reaches 100°F, the display will show the current oven temperature, and will continue to show the oven temperature increasing until the set temperature is reached.
COOKING MODES The various baking modes (Bake, Conv Bake, Conv Roast, and Pizza) have a 10-hour time limit, after which the control will automatically end the baking mode. Broil and Warm modes have a 3-hour time limit. If desired, these modes can be restarted after the time limit expires.
BAKE The Bake mode uses heat from the lower heating element to cook food. This mode works best with food placed on a single rack. Always preheat the oven first and place food centrally near the middle racks. Setting the Bake Mode 1.
If a Cook Time is set and the countdown reaches 00:00, the oven turns off automatically. The display shows "End" and a cook end tone sounds for 1 minute or stops when the oven door is opened. NOTE: • Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics, size, and shape of the baking pan used.

5. [Optional] Press/Hold to set the desired length of cooking time. 6. Press START/OK. The oven turns on and starts preheating. As the oven preheats and reaches 100°F, the display will show the current oven temperature, and will continue to show the oven temperature increasing until the set temperature is reached.
CONV ROAST The Convection Roast mode uses heat from both upper and lower elements and air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking efficiency and evenness across multiple racks. Ideal for roasting meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
NOTE: • Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary when placing food. If the door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the cooking mode will be automatically cancelled. 8. Press CANCEL/OFF when cooking is finished, and remove the food from the oven.

The oven turns on and starts preheating. As the oven preheats and reaches 100°F, the display will show the current oven temperature, and will continue to show the oven temperature increasing until the set temperature is reached.
WARM The Warm mode uses heat from the lower heating element to maintain oven temperature at around 175°F (79°C). It will keep cooked food warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp.
BROIL The Broil mode uses intense heat from the upper heating element to sear foods. This mode works best for tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut vegetables, and is ideal for toasting, melting cheese, browning and searing surface. Food should be placed near the upper racks, and should not be cooked for too long on each side of the food.
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES BAKE Baking is cooking with heated air. The lower element in the oven is used to heat the air but no fan is used to circulate the heat. Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack position.
Page 42
CONVECTION BAKE Convection Bake uses heat from the lower heating element and air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking efficiency and evenness across multiple racks. Reduce recipe baking temperatures by 25°F (15°C). • For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans t o take advantage of the forced air circulation.
