  • Page 4: Anti-Tip Device

    If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
  • Page 5: Safety Precautions

    Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury. Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.

  • Page 14: Using The Surface Units

    Using the surface units Differences Between Halogen and Radiant Units Halogen units have radiant coils in the center that do not glow as brightly as the outer halogen coils. Some cooktops have both radiant and halogen surface units. This is how they differ.
  • Page 15: Selecting Types Of Cookware

    Selecting types of cookware. The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance. DRAGGING Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge. Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended. Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

  • Page 25 For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. How to set the oven for roasting when using the probe.
  • Page 26: Using The Convection Oven

    Using the convection oven. The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element. In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.
  • Page 27 Adapting Recipes… You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven. Recipe conversion is as easy as 1, 2, 3. When roasting, reduce normal roasting time by 25%. When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25°F. No need to preheat when cooking longer than 15 minutes. Cookware for Convection Cooking Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven.
