BEFORE 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. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottom cookware should be used.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Using proper cookware Cookware material types Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (Figure 1). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 2). Aluminum- Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Single radiant surface elements The cooktop has 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the left rear position (Figure 1) and the right rear position (Figure 1). To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure 2). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Dual Surface Radiant Element The cooktop is equipped with 2 dual radiant surface elements located at the left front (Figure 1) and the right front (Figure 1) position. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Figure 2). The symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Figure 3). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vent Location The oven is vented Through the front panel and visible when the oven door is open. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vent. Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance. Arranging oven racks ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN).
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Control pad features READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE OVEN. For satisfactory use of your oven, become familiar with the various features and functions of the oven as described below. Detailed instructions for each feature and function follow later in this Use & Care Guide. 1. Oven interior light pad— Used to turn oven interior light ON or OFF. 2. Clock set pad— Used to set the time of day. 3. Bake time pad— Used to enter the length of the baking time. 4.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS TO SET THE CLOCK TO SET THE MINUTE TIMER: When the range is first plugged in, or when the power supply to the range has been interrupted, the display will flash "12:00". 1. Press CLOCK briefly (do not hold pad down). 2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the or until the correct time of day appears in the display. Note: The clock cannot be changed during any Bake or Self-Clean cycle. 1. Press TIMER on-off. 2. Press the to increase the time in one minute increments.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS TO SET CONTROL FOR CONTINUOUS BAKE OR 12 HOUR ENERGY SAVING The oven control has a built-in 12 Hour Energy Saving feature that will shut off the oven if the control is left on for more than 11 hours and 59 minutes. The oven can be programmed to override this feature for continuous baking. To set control for continuous baking: 1. Press and hold TIMER on-off down for 5 seconds until tone is heard, " — — hr" will appear in display for continuous cooking.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING BAKE SETTING KEEP WARM The BAKE pad controls normal baking. The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F. The Keep warm pad turns ON the Keep Warm feature and will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F (77°C). The Keep warm feature will keep oven baked foods warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished. After 3 hours the Keep Warm feature will shut the oven OFF automatically.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING BAKE TIME SETTING START TIME Bake Time allows the oven to be set to cook for a specific length of time and shut off automatically. The automatic timer of the Start Time will turn the oven on and off at the time you select in advance. The oven will shut off and will beep when the countdown is finished. To program the oven to begin baking immediately and to shut off automatically: 1. Be sure the clock is set for the correct time of day. 2.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING BROIL 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 BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 2 & 3).
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS ADJUSTING OVEN TEMPERATURE OVEN LIGHT Your oven control has been precisely set at the factory. This setting may differ from your previous oven however, so your recipe times may not give you the results you expect. If you think that the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the control so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed. The oven is equipped with 2 oven lights.
SELF-CLEANING SELF-CLEANING What to Expect during Cleaning A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.
SELF-CLEANING SELF-CLEAN TIME LENGTH For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils. Í NOTE The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.
CARE & CLEANING (Cleaning Chart) Cleaning various parts of your appliance Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANING LATER. Surfaces How to Clean Aluminum (trim pieces) & Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
CARE & CLEANING Ceramic glass cooktop cleaning & maintenance Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop. Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
CARE & CLEANING Cleaning recommendations for the ceramic glass cooktop (continued) Plastic or foods with a high sugar content: These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated).
CARE & CLEANING Changing oven light Around CAUTION Oven door Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven light on during a self-cleaning cycle. High temperature will reduce lamp life. Hinge Figure 3 Figure 4 Special door care instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Read the following recommendations: 1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place. 2.
