cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials touch these areas until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and oven door window.
• Wear proper apparel—loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup
of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—
smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too
hot.
• Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
potholder.
Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
range. If the range is not turned off and the power
resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
IMPORTANT
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —children
should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance,
including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,
warmer drawer or lower double oven.
• Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawers of a range can result in serious injuries
and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT
allow children to climb or play around the range. The
weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the
range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
• Storage in or on appliance—flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, warmer
drawer, near surface units or in the storage
drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items,
such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the
side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent
is located under the left rear surface element if your
model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is
located below the backguard for models equipped with
ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this
area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must
be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not
cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention
to the area around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
• Do not cook on broken cook top—If cook top should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cook top with caution—If a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts
listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or
foods from the oven.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners—No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket—The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all
controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which keypad controls each surface cooking
zone. Place a pan with food on the cooking zone before
turning it on, and turn the cooking zone off before
removing the pan.
Use proper pan size —This appliance is equipped with
induction cooking zones of different sizes. Select utensils
specifically manufactured and approved for induction
cooking that have flat bottoms that match the induction
cooking zone size. Proper relationship of utensil to
cooking zone will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent cooking zones—To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
cooking zones.
• Never leave surface cooking zones unattended
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry could be damaged.

Effortless™ Oven Rack system
Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system
that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the
interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food
items. This feature works whenever the oven door is
opened or closed.
CAUTION
REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and accessories before
starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are left
in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide ability of
the Effortless™ Oven Rack system will be damaged and
will cause oven racks to loose their shiny finish and or
turn blue. Remove ALL oven racks and clean according
to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of
this manual.
Make sure the oven and oven racks are COMPLETLY cool
and safe to touch before attempting to assemble or
disassemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system. Never
pick up hot oven rack parts.
To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:
1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied
oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a
special dark coating on the left and right rack
sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.
2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely
cool before proceeding.
3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see
previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack
connector brackets are at the rear of the range and
pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).
4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven
door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of
the connector arm to the hole in the door connector
bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the
rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The
oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack
position to match the length of the connector arm.
5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the
connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point
upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should
now be locked into position.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.
7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be
sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing
the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of
the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.

Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5. For best results
when using a single oven flat rack, place cookware on rack
positions 2, 3 or 4.

Benefits of induction surface cooking
Fast and efficient - The induction cooking zones heat
faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are
quick to boil and efficient when simmering.
A cooler cooktop - A unique feature of the induction
cooking zones are whether turned on or off, the cooking
zones remain cooler than radiant type elements. Virtually
no wasted heat is produced since the heat begins with the
presence of cookware.
Easy cleanups - The cooler cooking zone makes cleanups
easier. Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up
easier.
Magnetic detector - The cooking zone has a sensor that
automatically detects whether cookware is magnetic. This
will reduce accidental “turn-ons” and help avoid setting
utensils on hot elements like spatulas or spoons.
Pan size detection - The pan size recognition sensor
automatically detects and adapts the induction cooking
zones to the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even
cooking.
More responsive - The induction cooking zones are more
responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because
only the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and
will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.
About the induction cooktop
Induction cooking directly heats the pan; heating will only
begin when cookware is properly placed on the cooking
zones.
Your cooktop is equipped with four differently sized
induction cooking zones for your convenience.

IMPORTANT
Remember that induction surface cooking will initially heat
the cooking utensil very quickly.
11
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Use quality cooktop cookware made with
magnetic base material
Unlike radiant surface elements, the cooking zones
will not glow red when they are hot. The glass
surface may be hot from residual heat transferred
from the cookware and burns may occur.
• Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with
hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect
hands from burns.
CAUTION
For more detailed information about the cooktop see
“Cooktop maintenance” and “Cooktop cleaning” in the Care
& Cleaning section.
The type and size of cookware, cooking duration, the
number of cooking zones in use and their power level
settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat
that will spread beyond the cooking zones.
The induction cooking zones and areas surrounding the
cooking zones may become hot enough to cause burns.
Be sure to read all cautions.
IMPORTANT
Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic
glass smoothtop.
Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms can
mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface. Always
start with clean cookware.
Hot cookware and residual heat
Moving cookware on smoothtop
For more detailed information about the types of induction
cooktop cookware to purchase and how to properly use
induction cookware see the Cookware
Recommendations section.
IMPORTANT
The cooking zones will not activate if the cookware is not
constructed with a base magnetic material.
For the best possible surface cooking results, it is
recommended to only use high quality heavy gauge
cookware on the induction cooking zones.
Be sure to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations
when using cookware made for induction cooking.
It is recommended to always use heavier gauge high quality
cookware on the cooking zones. This will greatly reduce the
possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even high quality cookware can still scratch the cooktop
surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic
cooktop without being lifted up.
The electronic processes involved with induction cooking
may create some unusual background noises. You may hear
a slight “buzz” sound when heating with the cooktop.
These noises are a part of the induction cooking process
are considered normal.
Some cookware will “buzz” louder depending on the
construction or base material used. The “buzz” sound may
be more noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold; as
the pan heats up, the sound will decrease. If the power
level setting is reduced, the sound level will also decrease.
NOTE
When using the induction cooktop, operational noises
are more noticeable while cooking at the “Pb” level. Very
loud noises are not part of normal induction cooking.
Cooktop operational noises
Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the surface
will likely alter the overall appearance of the cooktop.
Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the
ceramic surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance
of the cooktop.
12
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
(HE) Hot surface window message
After using an induction cooking zone the cooktop may
become very hot. After turning any cooking zone OFF, the
cooktop may remain HOT for some time. The
corresponding HE (hot element - Fig. 8) message will
remain ON and turn OFF once the cooking zone position on
the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 8).
(- -) Lockout window message
The (- -) message will appear whenever the Lockout, Self-
clean or Sabbath feature is active (See Fig. 9). Refer to the
Lockout instructions for more details.
The induction cooking zones will not operate when the
oven is set for Sabbath Day mode. For more details on
the Sabbath Day feature, see Setting Oven Controls
section.
IMPORTANT
Cooktop display windows
The range backguard provides a digital window for each of
the cooking zones located on the cooktop. Power levels and
messages are easily monitored and controlled using the
window displays in combination with the corresponding
control keypads.
Available power level settings
The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Pb
(Fig. 1), Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig. 3) and OFF (Fig. 4).
The settings between 9.5 (Fig. 5) and 3.0 (Fig. 6) decrease
or increase in .5 increments.
The power level settings between 3.0 and 1.2 (Fig. 7) are
simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments
of .2 , providing more precision when setting lower heat
levels.
Use the “Suggested power level settings table” provided in
Setting Surface Controls section to determine the
correct power level setting for the type of food you are
preparing.
Pb (Power Boost) power level
When setting an induction cooking zone for Hi, the display
will initially show Pb (Power Boost) power level for up to 10
minutes (See Fig. 1). After 10 minutes the cooking zone will
automatically return to the Hi (Fig. 2) setting. The Pb
setting is only available immediately after activating a
cooking zone and pressing the Hi power level keypad.

COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
When purchasing pans for use on the induction cooktop,
look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer
as induction ready, induction capable, or a similar
statement by the manufacturer that the cookware is
specifically designed for induction cooking.
Induction cookware
Fig. 1
When using the cooking zones:
Be sure to use cooktop cookware made with a magnetic
base material.
Use quality cooktop cookware with heavier bottoms for
better heat distribution allowing for more even cooking
results.
Check that cookware bottom rests completely and level
on cooktop surface. Cookware should have flat bottoms
that make good contact with the entire induction cooking
zone area. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2).
Be sure cookware is properly balanced and does not tilt
from a heavy handle.
Be sure that the pan size matches the amount of food to
be prepared. The size and type of cookware used will
influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Never let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent
damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that
can affect the cooktop.
Use cookware that meets the minimum and maximum
cookware size requirements for each cooking zone.
To check if the cookware base material is suitable, use a
magnet to test (See Fig. 1). If a magnet sticks to the
bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct.
Not all stainless steel cookware is readily magnetizable;
being made of stainless steel does not assure that the
cookware is suitable for induction cooking.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to follow all the manufacturer’s
recommendations when using cookware made for
induction cooking.
Before using the induction cooking zones, be sure to
carefully read and follow these cookware
recommendations and the section about pan sensing.
NOTE
Fig. 2
Induction cookware types
Stainless steel - Generally, excellent for induction
cooking. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast iron - Good for induction cooking. Cooks evenly. Do
not slide cast iron cookware on cooktop. Cast iron cookware
with a rough surface will scratch ceramic cooktop.
Porcelain-enamel on ferrous metal - Heating
characteristics will vary depending on quality of base
material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid
scratching ceramic cooktop.
The most common induction cookware types available are:

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
One or more incorrect cookware conditions may be
detected by sensors located below the cooking zones. If
the cookware does not meet the correct conditions, the
cooking zones may not heat. Use the checklist below to
correct the problem(s) before attempting to reactivate
cooking zones.
IMPORTANT
Correct Incorrect
• Cookware centered correctly
on cooking zone.
• Flat pan bottom and straight
sides.
• Pan size meets or exceeds
the recommended minimum
size for cooking zone.
• Pan rests completely and is
level on the cooktop
surface.
• Pan is properly balanced.
• Pan does not meet the minimum
size required (too small) for
cooking zone.
• Pan bottom rests on cooktop
edge.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Cookware not centered on
cooking zone.
• Curved or warped pan bottoms
or sides.
• Cookware base material has
good magnetic characteristics. • Cookware base material is
non-magnetic.
It is recommended that you lower the requested power
level setting before correcting the pan sensing message.
Fig. 2
Be sure to check that the cookware has met all the correct
conditions listed in Fig. 2. Use this checklist as a guide to
help to correct the problem or problems before attempting
to reactivate any of the cooking zones.
Pan sensing
The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop
surface require that certain cookware conditions are met
before the induction cooking zones can operate.
The cooking zone display windows may display a pan
sensing error message. If a cooking zone was activated and
no pan or cookware is detected, the affected induction
cooking zone display window will flash with the last power
level request setting (See Fig. 1).
The conditions that may generate a flashing error message
are also illustrated in the incorrect column in Fig. 2.
NOTE
Fig. 1
If the problem or problems are not corrected the affected
cooking zone will automatically deactivate after 3 minutes.
15
Minimum pan size
Each of the four induction cooking zones require a minimum
pan size in order to activate. The smaller inner ring
provided at each cooking zone location (See Fig. 1) is your
guide to the correct minimum pan size for that zone.The
cookware bottom must fully cover the minimum area for the
heating process to begin.
Use the cooktop graphics provided for each induction
cooking zone location to help determine the recommended
maximum cookware size.
It is recommended not to use pans with bottoms that
extend more than 1/2” (13mm) beyond any of the outer
cooking zone ring patterns provided on the cooktop.
The cookware bottom must make full contact with the
ceramic glass surface without the cookware resting on or
touching the metal sides, rear or front metal edges of the
cooktop.
If a pan that is induction capable is centered properly but is
too small, the affected cooking zone display will flash the
last power level setting and the pan will not heat. Select a
larger pan that meets the minimum size requirement to
activate the cooking zone.
The illustration provided shows the minimum pan size
requirements for each cooking zone location.

Pan sensing-induction cooking zones (cont’d)
16
Your cooktop is equipped with four induction cooking zones
controlled by two heating sections. The left-hand and the
right-hand heating sections are powered by two
independent induction inverters - one inverter for each of
the two heating sections (Refer to Figs. 1 & 2).
Two cooking zones in a heating section share the power of
one inverter. This is called power sharing.
For example, if two pans are heating on the left side of the
cooktop at the same time, the last power level set will be
maintained, while the first pan may experience a slight
reduction in the power level setting.
Power sharing tips
If cooking two food items simultaneously on the same
side of the cooktop remember to set the power level
for the food item you would prefer to maintain last.
To maintain power levels for two food items heating at
the same time, place the cookware using opposite
sides of the cooktop. The cooktop sensors will use both
induction inverters and any power level reduction is
avoided (See Fig. 3).

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Operating induction cooking zones
Unlike radiant surface elements, the induction
cooking zones will not glow red when they are hot.
The glass surface may be hot from residual heat
transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
• Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with
hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect
hands from burns.
The cooking zones may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may
still be hot from residual heat and burns may occur
if the cooktop is touched before it has cooled
sufficiently.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite if placed too close to hot
cookware.
CAUTION
1. Place induction cookware with food
on the desired cooking zone.
2. To activate the cooking zone
press and hold the on-off
for the desired position
until a tone sounds.
3. Set the power level.
Press lo, med (5.0) or hi.
Each touch of the lo or hi pad will
decrease or increase the power
level by .5 increments from 9.5
through 3.0. Simmer power levels
between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease
or increase by .2 increments.
lo is the lowest power level available.
4. Once cooking is complete, press
on-off and then remove cookware.
Step Press
To operate induction cooking zones:
, ,
Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then
adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The suggested settings (provided in Fig. 1) may vary slightly
depending on the cookware design, quality and amount of
food being prepared.
Be sure to use quality cookware that is constructed with
magnetic base material and meets the minimum and
maximum pan size requirements.
Suggested cooking zone power level settings
Settings Type of cooking
Power boost (Pb) Use to start heating pans that
contain large amounts of food or to
bring large pans of water to boil
High (8.0-Hi) Start most foods, bring water to a
boil, pan broiling
Medium high (5.0 - 8.0) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
Medium (3.0 - 5.0) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces
and gravies or steam vegetables
Medium low (2.0 - 4.0) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
(2.8 or lower is a simmer setting)
Low (Lo - 2.0) Keep warm, melt, simmer (2.8 or
lower is a simmer setting)
Fig. 1
The suggested power level settings shown in Fig. 1
are based on cooking with medium sized pans with
lids. Be sure to make any further setting adjustments
needed for best surface cooking results.
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
NOTES
18
IMPORTANT
Be aware that induction cooking may decrease the amount
of time normally required to preheat a cooking utensil when
compared to cooking with a radiant element cooktop or gas
surface burner.
Whenever using the cooktop or oven always pay close
attention to all food items cooking and remain very attentive
until all the cooking processes are complete.
The HE (hot element) message may appear in the
display windows once a heating element or cooking
zone is turned OFF and will remain ON until the
heating surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic
glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop
they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
If the cookware is moved from the center of any active
induction cooking zone, the pan sensor will detect the
situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The
affected cooking zone display window will flash until
the cookware is moved back to center of cooking
zone. If the cookware is placed back properly
centered on the cooking zone the zone will resume
heating. The cooking zone will remember the power
level setting for up to 3 minutes before the cooking
zone will automatically shut OFF.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Operating induction cooking zones (cont’d) Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with 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 quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
Cookware Recommendations section).
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning using a range with a ceramic glass cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch beyond the cooking zone markings.
It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on
ranges with ceramic glass or open coil electic cooktops.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking zones heating at the same time. This will
cause uneven heating results and could cause the
ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Benefits of the convect feature
— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
— Multiple rack baking.
— No special pans or bakeware needed.
Convect uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly
and continuously around the oven. This improved heat
distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning
results. It also gives better baking results when using two
racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in
juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.
Layer cakes will have better results using the bake pad.
Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster
and more evenly with the convect feature.
Suggestions for convect baking
1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
2. Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder
of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.
3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results (Fig. 1).
NOTES
When using convection bake cook time reductions may
vary depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
The convection fan will begin rotating once
convection bake or convection roast has been activated.
1. Press convect.
2. Press start (See Fig. 2).
To set convect (convection bake) with a default oven
set temperature of 350°F:
Step Press
Suggestion for convect roast
1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
convect roast.
2. Since convect roast cooks food faster, reduce the
cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of
your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary,
increase cook time until the desired doneness is
obtained.
3. Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent
the meat from browning properly.
Convect roast (all models)
Meats cooked with convect roast will be juicer and
poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and
moist on the inside.
1. Press convect.
2. Press convect again.

section in this Use & Care Guide.
2. Since convect broil cooks food faster, reduce the
cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time
of your recipe (check the food at this time). If
necessary, increase cook time until the desired
doneness is obtained.
3. Close the oven door when using convect broil.

SELF-CLEANING
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.
Your oven allows you to set 3 different self-cleaning cycle
durations. A 3-hour cleaning time is best used for normal
cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a 4-hour time
option for heavier burnt-on soils.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is
completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven
material of the oven door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or remove the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could cause damage (See Fig. 1).
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures and will
melt.
Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY
ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed they will lose their special coating
properties and no longer slide in and out of the
oven cavity easily.
Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean,
use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to
high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at
the front center of the oven bottom. These areas
heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and
water. These areas are shown in white (See Fig. 1).
CAUTION
Fig. 1
IMPORTANT
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all
controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
CAUTION
35
As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven door
lock will begin to close automatically. “door Loc” will
appear in the display (See Fig. 1). DO NOT open the
oven door while “door Loc” is on (allow 15 seconds for
the oven door to completely lock).
Once the door has locked “CLn” will appear in the
display indicating the oven will begin the self-clean
process (Fig. 2).
1. Press cancel.
2. Allow enough time for the oven to cool and for the
door OPn” message to appear (Fig. 4). When this
message turns off the oven door may be opened. If a
self-clean cycle was active, then stopped or interrupted
by power failure, it may be necessary to run a self-
clean cycle again to thoroughly clean the oven. Please
be aware that you may need to allow up to four hours
before self-clean can be started again.
Setting a self-clean cycle or a delayed
start self-clean cycle When the self-clean cycle has completed:
1. The time of day and “Hot” will appear in the display
window (See Fig.3).
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and
Hot” is no longer displayed the “door OPn” message
should appear (Fig. 4). When this message turns off
the oven door may be opened. Use caution and avoid
possible burns when opening the door after the self-
cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
When the self-clean feature is active you may check the
amount of time remaining in the self-clean cycle by
pressing the pad once. The oven door will be
locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. You will
need to allow about 1 additional hour to the time
displayed before you can open the oven door. When the
oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash
with a damp cloth or paper towel.
To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven
door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or
steam to escape.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution and avoid
possible burns when opening the door after the self-
cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
CAUTION

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Do not:
Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.
Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop,
they may cause it to crack.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly
to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire
cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly
to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as
needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop
for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the
surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff surface clean.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of
the glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner supplied with your new
appliance. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch
cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled
from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a
protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and
abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the
cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface.
These marks should be removed immediately after the
cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal
marks can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or
dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

BEFORE YOU CALL • Solutions to common problems
Entire appliance does not operate. The time of day is not set. The time of day must first be set in order to
operate the oven. See “Setting the clock” in the Setting Oven Controls
section.
Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.
Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric
company for service.
Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or
authorized service agent.
Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature.
See Setting Oven Controls in this manual or read the instructions “Entire
appliance does not operate” in this checklist.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance
must be accessible for service.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make
appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted
over carpet.
Problem Solution
Appliance is not level. Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven
rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets
are square & have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
Poor baking results. Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is
used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow
the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven.
Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you
feel the oven is too hot or cool, see “Adjusting Oven Temperature” section in
this Use & Care Guide.
Oven portion of appliance does not
operate.
Surface cookware seems too hot or not
hot enough.
Incorrect induction cooktop power level setting. Adjust power level setting
higher or lower as needed.
Induction cooking zone does not heat
cookware or does not heat evenly.
Be sure the correct surface control is activated for the cooking zone.
Be sure to use the correct cookware material type for induction cooking. Use
cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer to use for induction
cooking. If you’re not sure, use a magnet to test whether the cookware type
will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type
is correct for induction cooking.
Be sure to read about pan-sensing in the Induction Cooking section and correct
any pan-sensing issues in the checklist provided.
Use quality heavier gauge cookware.
Cooking zones do not glow when
heating.
The induction cooking zones do not glow even when they are hot. Induction
cooking uses electromagnetic energy to induce heat directly to the cookware.

Oven smokes excessively during broiling. Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls.
Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide
proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil
element for searing.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Broiler pan (on some models) insert wrong side up and grease not draining.
Always place insert on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow
grease to drip into pan.
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven
vent.
Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or
large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers
before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see “Broiling”
in the Setting Oven Controls section.
Oven control beeps & displays any F or E
error code message.
Electronic control has detected a fault or error condition. Press CANCEL to
clear the display & stop beeping. Try the selected feature again. If the E or F
error code repeats, remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and then
repower appliance. Try the selected feature again. If the fault recurs, record
the fault or error code and call for service.
