Page 4: Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read all instructions before using this appliance. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE • The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Page 5 • Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. • For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. • Keep the hood and grease filter clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires. •...
Page 6: Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Surface Cooking Units (Electric Coil models only) • Use proper pan size—Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Page 7 Halogen/Radiant Surface Units (on some models) • Use proper pan size—Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the selected surface unit. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of the cookware to the surface units will also improve efficiency.

Page 10 HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE Your new cooktop has either electric coil surface units or a halogen/radiant glass cooktop. If you are used to cooking with gas burners or other types of electric cooktops, you will notice some differences when you use electric coils or a halogen/radiant glass cooktop.
Page 11 General Information About Halogen/Radiant Surface Units The halogen/radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by outlines on the glass. Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
Page 12: Canning Tips
Canning should be done on the surface units only. Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.
Page 13: Surface Controls
SURFACE CONTROLS At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit at the heat level or power level you set. How to Set the Controls Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the...
Page 14 Dual Surface Unit Switch (Glass Cooktops Only) The right front surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware you are using. To use the large (9 inch) surface unit, push in the right portion of the COIL SIZE switch next to the control knob.
Page 15 Wok Cooking We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS Types of Cookware The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance. Stainless Steel: highly recommended Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom.
Page 16 SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS How to Check Pan Performance Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking performance and cleaning of your cooktop. The correct cookware reduces the temperature of the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of spillovers burning onto the cooktop. You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.
Page 17: Halogen/Radiant Surface Cleaning
HALOGEN/RADIANT SURFACE CLEANING Glass Cooktop Cleaning Cleaning of glass cooktops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass cooktop follow these basic steps. Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream.

Page 19: Power Outage
OVEN CONTROL, CLOCK AND TIMER Clock The clock must be set for the automatic oven timing functions to work properly. The time of day cannot be changed during a Timed Baking or CLEAN cycle. Timer The timer is a minute timer; it does not control oven operations.
Page 20: Child Lock-Out
OVEN CONTROL, CLOCK AND TIMER (continued) INCREASE (+) and DECREASE (–) Pad Speed You can change the speed of the + and – pads. – While the oven is off and the time of day shows in the display, press and hold the + and – pads and the TIMER ON/OFF pad at the same time for about 2 or 3 seconds.
Page 21: Using Your Oven
Before Using Your Oven 1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven Controls so you understand how to use them. 2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.
Page 22: Oven Shelves
Oven Shelves The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them. When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.
Page 23: Convection Cooking
• Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top crust when baked with traditional heat. Cookware for Convection Cooking Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them.
Page 24: Baking
CONVECTION BAKING Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°F. for convection baking. For more specific instructions, follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes. Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested cooking time.
Page 25: Timed Convection Baking
TIMED CONVECTION BAKING How to Convection Time Bake Do not lock the oven door with the latch during timed convection baking. The latch is used for self- cleaning only. Your oven can be set to turn on and off automatically. NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock shows the correct time of day.
Page 26 How to Set Delay Start and Automatic Stop Convection Bake Quick Reminder 1. Press the CONV. BAKE pad. 2. Press the + or – pad to select the oven temperature. 3. Press the COOK TIME pad. 4. Press the + or – pad to set the length of Cooking Time.
Page 27: Roasting
CONVECTION ROASTING Meats cooked in a convection oven are dark brown on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. In most cases, cooking time will be less when using the Convection Roast feature. Sometimes cooking time is reduced by 10 minutes per hour.
Page 28: Convection Roasting
How to Set Your Oven for Convection Roasting When Using the Temperature Probe NOTE: For best results when roasting large turkeys and roasts, we recommend using the probe included in the convection oven. For the correct placement of the probe, see the description in the Regular Roasting section.
Page 29: Roasting
CONVECTION ROASTING GUIDE Meats Beef Rib, Boneless Rib, Rare Top Sirloin (3 to 5 lbs.) Medium Well Beef Tenderloin Rare Medium Pot Roast (2 ⁄ to 3 lbs.) Chuck, Rump Pork Bone-in, Boneless (3 to 5 lbs.) Chops 2 chops (1/2 to 1-inch thick) 4 chops 6 chops...
Page 30: Pan Placement
Oven Shelves Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or C.
Page 31: Aluminum Foil
Baking Guides When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results. Cookies When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
Page 32 REGULAR TIMED BAKING How to Time Bake Do not lock the oven door with the latch during regular timed baking. The latch is used for self- cleaning only. Your oven can be set to turn on and off automatically. NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock shows the correct time of day.
Page 33: Do It Yourself
How to Set Delay Start and Automatic Stop Quick Reminder: 1. Press the BAKE pad. 2. Press the + or – pad to select the oven temperature. 3. Press the COOK TIME pad. 4. Press the + or – pad to set the length of Cooking Time.
Page 34 Do not lock the latch during regular roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Page 35 REGULAR ROASTING WITH THE PROBE Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe A temperature probe has been provided for use in your new oven. This probe is designed to withstand high temperatures. Temperature probes provided with other products, such as those used for microwave ovens, may not be designed to withstand high temperatures.
Page 36 REGULAR ROASTING WITH THE PROBE How to Set the Oven When Using the Temperature Probe The display will flash “PROBE” and the oven control will signal if the probe is inserted into the outlet, but the oven is not programmed for the probe.
Page 37: Roasting Guide
Questions and Answers Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended if you did not use the probe while cooking. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.
Page 38 Do not lock the oven door with the latch during broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
Page 39 Use of Aluminum Foil You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the broiler pan.
Page 40: Broiling Guide
• Always use a broiler pan and rack. They are designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. • The oven door should be open to the broil stop position. • If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
