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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
■ Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
■Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified

Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE®
Cleaning Pad 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.
■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

About the radiant surface units…
SURFACE
COOKING
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
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.
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.
OpeagIructions
NOTE: On models with light colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
■Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
■Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
OFF CENTER
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
■Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
rdCleaing
■Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
ips
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass–the glass is scratch resistant,
not scratch proof.

Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
■The pan boils dry.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
■The pan bottom is not flat.
■The pan is off center.
■There is no pan on the unit.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
OpeagIructions
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stops, so that when
placed correctly on the supports, they will
stop before coming completely out, and
will not tilt.
To replace, place the end of the shelf
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the shelf in.

CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the
lowest position (A), you will need to use caution
when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that
you pull the shelf out several inches and then,
using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by
holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you
could be burned if you place your hand in the
middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be
very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the shelf in the lowest position (A).
When placing and removing cookware,

Preheating and Pan Placement
ips
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.
The control will beep when the oven is preheated
and the display will show your set temperature.
This will take approximately 15–20 minutes,
depending on your range model.
Do not place foods directly on the

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.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of
time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
To help you understand the difference
Roasting rack

traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.

on multiple shelves.
In a convection oven, a fan
■Good for large quantities of baked foods.

throughout the oven cavity. As a
result, foods are evenly cooked and
browned–often in less time than
with regular heat.
Heat comes from the heating element in
the rear of the oven. The convection fan
circulates the heated air evenly over and
around the food. Preheating is not
necessary with foods having a bake time
of over 15 minutes.
Broiler pan
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack for
best convection roasting results. The pan
is used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters. Place
the meat on the special roasting rack.
The rack holds the meat. The rack allows
the heated air to circulate under the
meat and increase browning on the
underside of the meat or poultry.
rdCleaing
Convection Roast
■Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating
element. The convection fan circulates
the heated air evenly over and around
the food. Meat and poultry are browned
on all sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rack
provided, heated air will be circulated
over, under and around the food being
roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
■Place the grid on the broiler pan
and put the roasting rack over them,
making sure the posts on the roasting
rack fit into the holes in the broiler pan.

Adapting Recipes…

■ Use pan size recommended.
■ Some package instructions for frozen

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.

weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
ips
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.
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.
