Before BEFORE Setting SETTING Surface SURFACE Controls CONTROLS 13 About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop About the Radiant Surface Elements The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements below a smooth glass surface. The designs on the ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the surface elements underneath. Always match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed cookware should be used. The element temperature rises gradually and evenly.
Before Setting Surface Controls Using Proper Cookware Cookware Material Types The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 1: Testing cookware” and “Figure 2: Proper cookware”. The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.
Before Setting Surface Controls Types of Ceramic Cooktop Elements The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size and type of element underneath. The elements on your cooktop depend on the model. • A single radiant element has one circle. • A dual radiant element has two circles. The dual element may be set using just the smaller inner element or both inner and outer elements for a larger cooking surface. Figure 3: Single and double elements • A keep warm element has one small circle.
Before Setting Surface Controls Home Canning Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures. • Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.
SETTING Surface SURFACE Controls CONTROLS Setting Single radiant surface elements The cooktop has three single radiant surface elements: the right rear position, and the two elements in the Space Pro located on the left side of the cooktop.
Setting Surface Controls Dual radiant surface elements A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area. You may switch from either single or dual element setting at any time during cooking. See “Suggested radiant surface element settings” on page 17. The dual burner can handle 9 inch or 12 inch cookware.
Setting Surface Controls 19 Space Pro Element Keep Warm Zone The Space Pro uses two single elements on the left side of the cooktop (front and rear) and another element that can be activated to connect the two single elements. The Keep Warm zone helps keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the feature to keep cooked foods hot such as vegetables, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the keep warm zone.
BEFORE CONTROLS Before SETTING Setting OVEN Oven Controls Oven Vent Location Types of Oven Rack The oven is vented as shown below. 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. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Before Setting Oven Controls 21 Removing and Replacing the Glide Racks The fully extendable Glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall. To remove - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position.

Setting Oven Controls 23 Setting the Clock Setting the Timer The clock icon is used to access the time of day setting. When the oven is first plugged in or if there has been an interruption in power to the range, 12:00 will flash in the display. The minute timer in the oven display serves to help keep track of cooking functions. The timer cannot be used during a self clean cycle or if the meat probe function associated with the timer display is in use.
Setting Oven Controls Continuous Bake or 12 Hour Energy Saving The oven is preset to cook up to 12 hours and to shut off automatically. For longer periods of cooking, this feature can be changed to continuous cooking by setting the user preference and turning the energy saving feature off. To set the oven for continuous cooking: 1.
Setting Oven Controls Power+ Preheat Power+ Preheat is available for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods and can be programmed for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation time and temperature. When quick preheat is complete, a reminder tone will sound and food should be placed in the oven. 25 To set the preheat temperature for 350°F: 1. Arrange the interior oven racks. 2. Turn OVEN MODE knob to POWER+ PREHEAT.
Setting Oven Controls Setting Bake To set Bake for oven temperature of 350°F: Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven bottom. The heat and air circulate naturally in the oven. A reminder tone will sound indicating when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food in the oven. 1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions for the item(s) to be baked. Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Setting Oven Controls Air Fry The Air Fry feature works best for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods and can be programmed for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation quantity, time, and temperature. Important: • • • • • Air Fry is designed for baking on a single oven rack. Food should be arranged in single layers on the tray.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Bake Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air flows around the food from all sides. Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C). Benefits of convection cooking include: • Multiple rack baking. • Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.
Setting Oven Controls 29 Convection Roast To set oven for convection roasting: Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside. 1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven. 2. Turn OVEN MODE knob to CONV ROAST. 3.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Roasting tips: • Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry. • Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven. • Smaller roasts and poultry should be cooked using rack position 2 or 3. • Since convection roast cooks faster, it may reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time).
Setting Oven Controls Using the Broil Feature To set broil: Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling is direct heat cooking and may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. 1. Broil is preset to 550°F. WARNING Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire.
Setting Oven Controls Important notes: • Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. • For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help avoid spatter and reduce smoking. • When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
Setting Oven Controls Meat Probe Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food. Before using the meat probe read the important information listed here: IMPORTANT • The probe feature must be set before setting the cooking mode and oven temperature.
Setting Oven Controls To set probe: Proper placement of probe in food. Note: The minimum setting is 140ºF (60ºC); the maximum is 210ºF (99ºC). Default is 170ºF (77ºC). Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the center of the thickest part of meat or food. For best results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware. 1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven. 2.

Setting Oven Controls Trailing Keep Warm with Meat Probe Keep Warm When the meat probe reaches the target temperature, the oven will automatically switch to keep warm (170°F) and remain on for up to 3 hours before turning off automatically. The display will continue to show the meat probe temperature until either keep warm is canceled or by disconnecting the meat probe from the receptacle. Once turned off, the probe icon and temperature will fade from the display.
Setting Oven Controls 37 Setting Sabbath Feature for the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays To set the oven for baking and activate the Sabbath feature: For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k.org. 1. Be sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. Place food in the oven. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control.
Setting Oven Controls Adjusting the Oven Temperature The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. Using the + or - key in the bottom of the display, press until the desired temperature change (offset) is reached. The display will change ± 5° with each key press to a maximum of + 35° or a minimum of – 35°F.
Setting Oven Controls 39 Self Clean • 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 afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for clean times of 2, 3 or 4 hours. Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Setting Oven Controls To set a self clean cycle: If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self clean cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete. It is recommended to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.
Care and Cleaning 41 Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later. CAUTION Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.
