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 and the right rear position. The left rear element may also be used with the Bridge element (left front and center). To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements (Figure 1) 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).
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Dual Surface Radiant Element The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element located at the right front position (Figure 1). 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 (Figures 2 & 4). The symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Figures 3 & 5). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Bridge surface radiant element The cooktop is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface element located at the left front and middle (Figure 1) positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware. The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single element without the Bridge (Figure 4).
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Keep warm zone The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the warmer zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven vent location Arranging oven racks Each oven has its own vent as shown below (Figure 1). 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 OVEN VENT. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Main oven vent location Auxiliary oven vent location ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN).
SETTING MAIN OVEN CONTROLS Control pad features READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE OVEN.

The oven can be programmed for Convection Roasting at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 350°F. The convection roast feature combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to roast meats and poultry. Preheating is not necessary for meats and poultry.
SETTING MAIN OVEN CONTROLS SETTING BAKE TIME Bake Time allows the oven to be set to cook for a specific length of time and shut off automatically. The oven will shut off and will beep when the countdown is finished. This feature can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast cooking modes. To program the oven to begin baking immediately and to shut off automatically (example: BAKE at 350°F for 30 minutes): 1. Be sure the clock is set for the correct time of day. 2.
SETTING MAIN OVEN CONTROLS SETTING BROIL The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage. The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature from 400°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F. The optional broil pan and broil pan insert (available by mail order) used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the oven broiler.
SETTING MAIN OVEN CONTROLS SETTING KEEP WARM This mode is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. The KEEP WARM pad turns ON the Keep Warm feature and will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F. 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.

SETTING MAIN OVEN CONTROLS ADJUSTING OVEN TEMPERATURE The temperature in the oven has been pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the recommended temperature.
SETTING MAIN OVEN CONTROLS SELF-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. DO HAND CLEAN FRAME IMPORTANT Adhere to the following cleaning precautions: • Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. • Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
SETTING MAIN OVEN CONTROLS SETTING SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TIME LENGTH The SELF CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a selfclean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
SETTING AUXILIARY OVEN CONTROLS TO BAKE 1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is cool. 2. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the desired oven temperature. When the oven is first turned ON, the oven indicator light below the Temperature Control Knob will glow. 3. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles or broiling most foods. When the desired temperature is reached, the oven indicator light will go out.
