IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the
fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

and create a risk of electrical shock.
■Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass cooktop become broken.
■Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
■To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container should
be turned toward the center of the range
without extending over nearby surface units.
■Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when
it is not being used.
rdCleaing

■Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to
this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
■Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
T
medium high heat settings.
rubleshotingT
■Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
■When the cooktop is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the cooktop.
■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
ips
■To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
■After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.
CustomSrvice
■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
■Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments; rings or other
jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

bottoms, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of
aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
OpeagIructions
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN

should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
ips
■Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s

SURFACE
COOKING
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
■Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.
SafeyIructions
■Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
■Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If
they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
NOTE: On some models with a white glass
cooktop, it is normal for the surface to appear
discolored when it is hot. This is temporary and
will disappear as the glass cools.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
■Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
OFF CENTER
It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
OpeagIructions
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat
to continue cooking. To avoid over-
cooking, remove pans from the surface
units when the food is cooked. Avoid
placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass—the glass is scratch resistant, not
scratch proof.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″
to 11⁄2″ of air space around it. If baking
four cake layers at the same time, place
two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is
not directly above the other.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.

and the display will show your set temperature.
This will take approximately 15–20 minutes.

Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
frying, not broiling.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.

Using the convection oven.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
SafeyIructions
■Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended
for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F. can also be used, when oven is
below 400°F.
■Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a flat cookie sheet
instead of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust
the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
rdCleaing
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
ips
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
