Important Safety Information

• Do not heat unopened food containers in oven.

Buildup of pressure may cause a container to burst and

result in injury.

Receiving Oven

• Authorized servicer must install the range, in

accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Adjustments and service should be performed only by

authorized servicer.

• Keep range vent ducts unobstructed.

• Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.

If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, use a dry

potholder.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or racks.

Aluminum foil can cause a fire and will seriously affect

baking results, and damage to porcelain surfaces.

• Do not touch interior surfaces of oven during or

immediately after use. Do not let clothing or other

flammable materials come in contact with bake or broil

burners.

• Other areas of the oven can become hot enough to

cause burns, such as vent openings, window, oven

door and oven racks.

• To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth

to wipe up spills on hot cooking area.

• Plug range into a 120–volt grounded outlet only. Do not

remove round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt

about grounding of the home electrical system, it is

consumers responsibility and obligation to have an

ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded

three-prong outlet in accordance with the National

Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with

this appliance.

• Insure all packing materials are removed from the range

before operating it, to prevent fire or smoke damage

should the packing material ignite.

• With prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures

could result. Many floor coverings will not be able to

withstand this kind of use. Never install range over vinyl

tile or linoleum that cannot withstand high

temperatures. Never install range directly over

carpeting.

• Do not store combustible or flammable materials, such

as gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near

or in oven.

• Do not clean oven door gasket located on back of the

door. Gasket is necessary to seal the oven and can be

damaged as a result of rubbing or being moved.

• Do not drape towels or any materials on oven door

handles. These items may ignite causing a fire.

Using the Oven

• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a

range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously

burned.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the

door. They could damage the range and cause severe

personal injury.

• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn when using oven. Flammable

material could ignite if brought in contact with flame or

hot oven surfaces which may cause severe burns.

• Never use range for warming or heating a room. This

may cause burns, injuries, or a fire.

CAUTION

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets

above range. Children may climb on oven to reach

these items and become seriously injured.

Baking, Broiling, and Roasting

• Do not use oven area for storage.

• Stand back from range when opening a hot oven door.

Hot air or steam can cause burns to hands, face, and

eyes.

• Do not use water on grease fires.

• Do not let grease or other flammable materials collect

in or around range.

• Do not repair or replace any part of range unless it is

recommended in this manual.

• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders

used on hot surfaces may result in a burn from steam.

Do not let a potholder touch the flame. Do not use a

towel or a bulky cloth as a potholder.

• Never leave range unattended while cooking.

Boilovers can cause smoking and may ignite.

• Only certain types of glass/ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed utensils are suitable for oven use.

Unsuitable utensils may break due to sudden

temperature change.

• Use only glass cookware appropriate for use in electric

ovens.

• Always remove broiler pan from oven when finished

broiling. Grease left in pan can catch fire if oven is used

without removing grease from the broiler pan.

• Make sure broiler pan is placed correctly to reduce any

possibility of grease fires.

• Should a grease fire occur in the broiler pan, turn off

oven, and keep oven door closed until fire burns out.

• Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

Important Safety Information

Oven Fires

Surface Cooking Units

1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped

with one or more surface units of different size. Select

utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface unit heating element. The use of undersized

utensils will expose a portion of the heating element

to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also

improve efficiency.

1. If smoke is visible, do not open oven door.

2. Turn oven control to “OFF”.

3. Turn off power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.

4. Turn on vent to remove smoke.

5. Allow food/grease to burn out in oven.

6. If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.

7. If there is any damage to components, call an

authorized servicer before using range.

2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—Boilover

causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may

ignite.

Precautions

3. Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are In

Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during

cooking may subject wiring or components

underneath to damage.

• Do not cook food directly on range top surface, always

use cookware.

• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical

mixtures may interact with hazardous results.

• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

• Do not slide rough objects across range top surface.

• Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat

can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.

• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage

to cooking surface and pan.

4. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line

oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may

result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

5. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Do not use glass, ceramic,

earthware, or other glazed utensils. They can damage

smoothtop and can break due to sudden change in

temperature.

• Do not use range top surface as a cutting board.

6. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not

Extend OverAdjacent Surface Units—To reduce the

risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,

the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it

is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent

surface units.

Troubleshooting Procedures

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to oven before servicing, unless

testing requires power.

NOTES:

“Action Taken” applies as long as the condition exists. If the condition goes away, the control recovers.

If there is a cook function or timer active, the function continues. The user cannot edit the function, and [Cancel] will cancel the cook

mode.

Flash rate: 0.2 seconds on, 0.1 second off. Pressing any key will clear the display until the fault clears and is re-triggered.

“Action Taken” applies until there is a POR (Power On Reset [“hard reset”]).

If the control believes the door is locked, it will attempt to unlock it when the function cancels and the cavity temperature cools.

Special conditions for latch faults (9dxx):

•

A known good unlock position is defined as when the unlock switch reads closed and lock switch reads open.

A known good lock position is defined as when the unlock switch reads open and lock switch reads closed.

A faulted switch means the switch input is reading an invalid state, neither open nor closed.

Once a latch fault occurs, latch movement is disabled until there is a POR. An error tone will sound if a function requiring a

faulted latch is attempted.

•

If at POR, the latch is not at a known good unlock position:

•

If the latch is at a good lock position, it will attempt to unlock when the RTD (Resistance Temperature Device)

temperature is below 400°F.

•

If the latch is not at a good lock position, the control will fault.

•

If a latch fault occurs while the RTD is above the lock temperature, the latch will not try to move, but the fault is still logged

to EEPROM after the first stage of detection.

The Display column for latch faults applies 1) If the latch was moving when the fault occurred; 2) If the latch is already in a

known locked state when the fault occurs.

•

LOCK flashes after a fault is detected and until the unlocked position is achieved. The unlock position may be

identified by a successful unlock switch closure, or as the result of timing when the unlock switch is not

functioning properly.

•

If the last known good position was unlock (e.g. baking, or idle) and a latch fault occurs, the motor is never moved. The

fault is logged to EEPROM and is not seen by the user.

Latch fault detection is in two stages. The first stage is to allow the control to recover without moving the latch. After this:

•

If the latch was previously at a known good unlock position, the latch will not move and the control will fault.

If the control was previously in a known good lock position:

•

If the RTD is below 400°F, the latch will attempt to recover to it’s proper position (up to three

revolutions). If it cannot, the control will fault and the latch will move to a calculated unlock position.

•

If the RTD is at or above 400°F, the control will fault. When the RTD cools to below 400°F, the control

will attempt to recover to a good unlock position (up to three revolution). If it cannot, the control will fault

and the latch will move to a calculated unlock position.

•

Note: If the unlock position cannot be found, this may result in a second fault, the first fault occurring

when the latch request was locked, and the second when the latch request is unlocked.

•

If the latch is moving when the fault occurs, the control will bypass the first stage of detection and immediately try

to find it’s proper position. If it cannot, the control will fault and the latch will move to a calculated unlock position.

•

Affected DLBs (Double Line Breaks) and loads are disabled during detection.

If the control is in a known good unlock position and the lock switch becomes faulted:

•

The control will not fault.

If a function requiring latch movement is attempted while the lock switch is faulted, the control will sound an error

tone and the function will be disabled.

•

If the control is in a known good lock position and the unlock switch becomes faulted:

•

The control will not fault.

After the function is canceled and unlock is attempted, the control will attempt to unlock the latch according to

the procedures in these notes.

Surface Cooking

Suggested Heat Settings

Surface Controls

The size, type of cookware and cooking operation will affect the

heat setting. For information on cookware and other factors

affecting heat settings, refer to “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.

Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of

heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can

be set on or between any of the settings.

Low (2): Use to keep foods

warm and melt chocolate

and butter.

High (10): Use to bring

liquid to a boil. Always

reduce setting to a lower

heat when liquids begin to

boil or foods begin to cook.

Setting the Controls

1. Place pan on surface element.

2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired

heat setting.

• The control panel is marked to identify which

element the knob controls. For example, the

graphic at right indicates left front element.

Med. Low (3-4):

Use to continue

cooking covered

foods or steam

foods.

3. There is an element “ON” indicator light on the control

panel. When any surface control knob is turned on, the

light will turn on. The light will turn off when all the

surface elements are turned off.

4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.

Medium (5-7): Use to

maintain slow boil for

large amounts of liquids

and for most frying

operations.

Med. High (8-9): Use

to brown meat, heat oil

for deep fat frying or

sauteing. Maintain fast

boil for large amounts

of liquids.

CAUTION

AFTER COOKING

• Make sure surface unit is turned off.

• Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.

BEFORE COOKING

• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it

on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface

unit without a pan in place.

OTHER TIPS

• NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or

cookware.

• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking

surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can

be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera-

tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids,

cleaners or aerosol sprays.

• NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the

cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable

items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in

closed containers causing them to burst.

DURING COOKING

• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface

unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a

lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a

high heat setting for extended cooking.

• NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the

pan and the appliance.

• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some

parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units,

to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders

to protect hands.

• NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other

metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to

contact heating elements.

Surface Cooking

Coil Elements

Coil Element Surface

• When an element is on, it will cycle on and off to maintain the

heat setting.

Notes:

• Clean cooktop after each use.

• Coil elements are self-cleaning. Do not immerse in water.

To remove: When cool, raise ele-

ment. Carefully pull out and away

from receptacle.

• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop

has cooled as these spills may discolor or etch the

porcelain.

To replace: Insert element ter-

minals into receptacle. Guide the

element into place. Press down on

the outer edge of element until it

sits level on drip bowl.

To protect drip bowl finish:

• To lessen discoloration and crazing, avoid using high

heat for long periods.

• Do not use oversized cookware. Pans should not

extend more than 1-2 inches beyond the element.

TERMINALS

Drip Bowls

• When home canning or cooking with big pots, use

the Canning Element (Model CE1). Contact your

Maytag dealer for details or call 1-877-232-6771 USA

or 1-800-688-8408 Canada to order.

The drip bowls under each surface element catch boilovers and

mustalwaysbeused. Absenceofdripbowlsduringcookingmay

damage wiring.

To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire, never line drip bowls

with aluminum foil.

• Clean frequently. (See page 17.)

Drip bowls will discolor (blue/gold stains) or craze over time if

overheated. This discoloration or crazing is permanent. This will

not affect cooking performance.

CAUTION

AFTER COOKING

• Make sure surface unit is turned off.

• Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.

BEFORE COOKING

• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it

on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface

unit without a pan in place.

• NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or

cookware.

OTHER TIPS

• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking

surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can

be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera-

tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids,

cleaners or aerosol sprays.

• NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the

cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable

items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in

closed containers causing them to burst.

DURING COOKING

• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface

unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a

lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a

high heat setting for extended cooking.

• NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the

pan and the appliance.

• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some

parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units,

to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders

to protect hands.

• NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other

metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to

contact heating elements.

• NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall

and damage it.

Surface Cooking

Hot Surface Light

Smoothtop Surface

The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the

control panel. The light will be illuminated

when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on,

even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled.

Smoothtop Surface Notes:

• For Canadian models, the smoothtop does NOT operate

during a clean cycle.

• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few

times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

OFF

Warming Center (select models)

Use the Warming Center to keep hot cooked foods

warm, such as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe

dinner plates.

• Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time

after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off

a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use

the retained heat to complete cooking. When the Hot

Surface indicator light turns off, the cooking area will be

cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain

heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to

changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

Setting the Control:

Press switch up to turn off or down to activate.

Notes:

• Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30

minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.

• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from

the cooking surface.

• Do not heat cold food on the Warming Center.

• Warming temperatures of the food will vary depending

on type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper

food temperatures. USDA recommends food tempera-

tures between 140°-170° F.

• Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is

hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface

cools.

Warming Center Notes:

• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for

oven and cooktop use.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent

circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,

fit the pan size to the element size.

• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the

Warming Center as cookware and plates will be hot.

Pans should not extend more than / to 1-inch beyond

the cooking area.

• All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to

maintain food quality.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the

smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to

maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.

• When warming pastries and breads the cover should have

an opening to allow moisture to escape.

• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt

on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.

immediately. (See Cleaning, page 20.)

• Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and

pan.

• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the

cooktop trim for a long period of time.

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

• Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads

which will scratch the cooktop.

• Never cook food directly on the surface.

• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does

this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning

onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.

• Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not

specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or

uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or

oversized canners and griddles.

To Prevent Marks & Scratches

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

• Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and

pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto

the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an

authorized Maytag Servicer.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans

may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See

Cleaning, page 20.)

• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before

turning on to prevent scratches.

• To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top,

do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe

the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel

before using.

• Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since

these may scratch.

Surface Cooking

Canning and Oversize

Cookware

Cookware Recommendations

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such

as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent

results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less

energy, and cook food more evenly.

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and

must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical

on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than

1 inch larger than the element.

When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking

times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.

Flat Pan Tests

See if your pans are flat.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on

smoothtop surfaces.

The Ruler Test:

1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.

When canning, use the High heat setting only until the

water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.

Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or

pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be

damaged.

2. Hold it up to the light.

3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.

The Bubble Test:

See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.

1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn

control to High.

2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.

Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven

bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.

CAUTION

AFTER COOKING

• Make sure surface unit is turned off.

• Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.

BEFORE COOKING

• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it

on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface

unit without a pan in place.

• NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or

cookware.

OTHER TIPS

• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking

surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can

be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera-

tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids,

cleaners or aerosol sprays.

• NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the

cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable

items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in

closed containers causing them to burst.

DURING COOKING

• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface

unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a

lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a

high heat setting for extended cooking.

• NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the

pan and the appliance.

• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some

parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units,

to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders

to protect hands.

• NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other

metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to

contact heating elements.

• NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall

and damage it.

after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off

a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use

the retained heat to complete cooking. When the Hot

• Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30

minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.

• Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

• Do not heat cold food on the Warming Center.

• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is

hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface

cools.

• Warming temperatures of the food will vary depending on

type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper food

temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures

between 140°-170° F.

• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for

oven and cooktop use.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent

circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,

fit the pan size to the element size.

• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the

Warming Center as cookware and plates will be hot.

• All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to

maintain food quality.

Pans should not extend more than / to 1-inch beyond

the cooking area.

• When warming pastries and breads the cover should have

an opening to allow moisture to escape.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the

smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to

maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.

• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt

on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.

For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware

Recommendations on page 7 and “Cooking Made Simple”

booklet included with your range.

Surface Cooking

To Prevent Stains

Tips to Protect the

Smoothtop Surface

• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the

cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains

on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

Cleaning (see page 21 for more information)

• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in

a permanent stain.

• Before first use, clean the cooktop.

• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep

your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

To Prevent Other Damage

• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the

spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough

cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a

clean dry towel.

• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content

to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean

immediately. (See Cleaning, page 21.)

• Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and

pan.

• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the

cooktop trim for a long period of time.

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

• Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads

which will scratch the cooktop.

• Never cook food directly on the surface.

• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does

this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning

onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.

• Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not

specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or

uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or

oversized canners and griddles.

To Prevent Marks & Scratches

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

• Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and

pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto

the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an

authorized Maytag Servicer.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans

may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See

Cleaning, page 21.)

• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before

turning on to prevent scratches.

• To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top,

do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe

the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel

before using.

• Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since

these may scratch.

Surface Cooking

Canning and Oversize

Cookware

Cookware Recommendations

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such

as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent

results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less

energy, and cook food more evenly.

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and

must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical

on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than

1 inch larger than the element.

When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking

times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.

Flat Pan Tests

See if your pans are flat.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on

smoothtop surfaces.

The Ruler Test:

1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.

When canning, use the High heat setting only until the

water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.

Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or

pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be

damaged.

2. Hold it up to the light.

3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.

The Bubble Test:

See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.

1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn

control to High.

2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.

Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven

bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information.

Oven Cooking

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Automatic Shut-Off/Sabbath

Mode

Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the

factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning

differences between a new oven and an old one. As ovens

get older, the oven temperature can shift.

The ovens will automatically turn off after 12 hours if you

accidentally leave them on.

To cancel the 12-hour shut-off and run an

oven continuously for 72 hours:

1. Press and hold the Clock pad for three seconds

You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is

not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to

change the temperature, set the temperature 25 degrees

higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake.

The results of the first bake should give you an idea of how

much to adjust the temperature.

• “SAb” will be displayed and flash for five seconds.

• “SAb” will then be displayed continuously until turned

off or until the 72-hour time limit is reached.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1. Press the appropriate Bake pad.

• BAKE will also be displayed if a bake setting is in use

while the oven is in Sabbath Mode.

2. Enter 550° by pressing the appropriate number pads.

• All pads are inactive except CANCEL and Clock. All

other functions EXCEPT BAKE (Timer, Keep Warm,

Clean, etc.) are locked out during the Sabbath Mode.

3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until

00° appears in the display.

If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the

change will be displayed. For example, if the oven tem-

perature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.

To cancel the Sabbath Mode:

1. Press the CLOCK pad for three seconds.

• “SAb” will flash for five seconds.

• The time of day will return to the display.

4. Press the Autoset pad to adjust the temperature.

Each time the Autoset pad is pressed, the temperature

changes by 5°. The oven temperature can be increased or

decreased by 5° to 35°.

2. After 72 hours, the Sabbath Mode will end.

• “SAb” will flash for five seconds.

• The time of day will return to the display.

5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.

You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a

power failure or interruption. Temperature adjustment applies

to Bake, Convect Bake and Convect Roast (lower oven only)

only.

Sabbath Mode Notes:

• Sabbath Mode can be turned on at any time with or

without the ovens on.

• When the Sabbath Mode is started, the temperature

display will immediately show the set temperature, rather

than the actual oven cavity temperature. No preheat beep

will sound.

• Sabbath Mode cannot be turned on if the keypads are

locked out or when the doors are locked.

• The self-clean cycle and automatic door lock do not

operate during the Sabbath Mode.

• Most prompts and messages and all beeps are

deactivated when Sabbath Mode is active.

• Pressing CANCEL pad will cancel a Bake cycle, however

the control will stay in the Sabbath Mode.

• If an oven is baking when Sabbath Mode is set, BAKE

will go out at the end of the baking cycle or when the

CANCEL pad is pressed. There will be no audible beeps.

• If power fails, the ovens will power up in Sabbath Mode

with 72 hours remaining and no cycle active.

• If the oven lights are desired while in Sabbath Mode,

they must be turned on before the Sabbath Mode is

started.

hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.

CAUTION

The oven vent is located below the backguard on your

range.

• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven

is hot.

When high moisture foods are cooked in the upper oven,

steam may be visible coming from the oven vent. This is

normal.

• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.

OVEN VENT

LOCATION

All racks are designed with a lock-stop edge.

Upper oven

• Is equipped with one rack and rack

position.

Do not place

plastics near the

vent opening as

heat from the vent

could distort or

melt the plastic.

• When pulling the upper oven rack out to

remove or check food, grasp the top edge

the oven; tilt the front end up

slightly; slide rack back until it

clears the lock-stop position; lower

front and slide back into the oven.

Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or

sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use

the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not

place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven

bottom.

Baking and Roasting with the

Oven Fan

RollerGlide^TMRack (lower oven only)

A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when

the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns on

after the Convect Bake or Convect Roast pads are pressed

and will turn off when convection is canceled.

Baking

• For optimal baking results when baking on one rack, use

the RollerGlide^TMrack.

Note: The convection fans will automatically stop when

the oven door is opened.

• When baking on two racks, use the RollerGlide^TMrack in

the bottom rack position, and the flat rack in the upper rack

position.

Roasting

• When roasting large cuts of meat and poultry, use the

RollerGlide^TMrack for ease of movement.

forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a

broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts

expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not

damage the oven.
