Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Tip Over Hazard • • • • • A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-tip device has been installed to floor or wall. Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged to floor or wall when the range is moved. Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.
Safety • DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Safety • • • • Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt. Protective liners— Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
Safety IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE • • Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning. Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.

Setting Surface Controls ABOUT THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used.
Setting Surface Controls SURFACE COOKING UTENSILS GOOD • • • • Flat bottom and straight sides. Tight fitting lids. Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced. Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element. Made of material that conducts heat well. Easy to clean. Always match pot diameter to element surface diameter. POOR • Curved and warped pan bottoms. • Pan overhangs unit by more than 2.5 cm (1”).
Setting Surface Controls 19 SETTING THE COOKTOP The cooktop controls provide display to help set power levels for the cooking zones located on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as traditional knob settings except the settings are made using a touch sensitive panel and show settings using LED style displays. Available cooktop settings Your control control provides different power level settings for each of the cooking or heating zones.
Setting Surface Controls SETTING THE COOKTOP (CONTINUED) Setting cooktop elements • Touch the ON OFF key to activate the desired heating zone. • If the heating zone has more than one element diameter size available, press the desired element ring size symbol. • Press the desired power level key once (hi+, med or lo-) for quick automatic settings or for more precise level settings use the hi+ or lo- keys. Each press of hi+ will increase or lo- keypad will decrease the power one level at a time.
Setting the Warmer Oven 21 WARMER OVEN OPERATION To Operate the Warmer Oven The purpose of the warmer oven is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer. All food placed in the warmer oven should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain moisture and softness. Do not cover crisp foods. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.
Cooking Modes BAKING This mode is best used for your standard recipes. The hidden bake element is used to heat the air and maintain temperature. The upper oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 350°F. The lower oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170°F to 450°F with a default temperature of 350°F. Upper Oven Baking Tips: • • • • • • Always preheat your oven before using the bake mode.

Cooking Modes BROILING This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1” thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature from 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F. Broiling Tips: • For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes.
Cooking Modes 25 CONVECTION BAKING This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best culinary results when baking with multiple pans and racks. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Convection baking uses the three elements and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
Cooking Modes CONVECTION CONVERT The Convection Convert pad is used to automatically convert a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convection Convert may ONLY be used with a Convection Bake cooking mode. It can be used with the features End Time and Cook Time (see their sections for directions).
Cooking Modes 27 CONVECTION ROASTING This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired. The Convection Roasting gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the hidden bake element, the hidden convection element, the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
Cooking Modes CONVECTION BROILING Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, fish and poultry. The Convection Broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The oven can be programmed for Convection Broiling at any temperature between 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F.
Cooking Modes KEEP WARM This mode is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. The Keep Warm feature uses the hidden bake element to maintain the temperature within the oven. The oven can be programmed for Keep Warm at any temperature between 150°F to 190°F with a default temperature of 170°F. Keep Warm Tips for Upper Oven: • Always start with hot food. • Do not use the Keep Warm feature to heat cold food.
Cooking Modes SLOW COOK This mode may be used to cook foods more slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provide cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The Slow Cook feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal. The Slow Cook mode uses the hidden bake element to maintain a low temperature in the oven. There are 2 settings available, high (HI) or low (LO).
Cooking Modes DEHYDRATING This mode dries foods with heat from the bake and the convection element. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits, meats, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low temperature while circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven can be programmed for Dehydrating at any temperature between 100°F to 225°F with a default temperature of 120°F.
Cooking Modes BREAD PROOFING Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. This feature is ideal for proofing, or rising bread dough.
