Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so could result in death or fire.
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area may glow red when an element is ON. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is ON. The glow will also randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on Hi, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures. This is normal operation.
It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Affresh® Cooktop Cleaner and the Cooktop Scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the "Range Maintenance and Care" section in the Owner's Manual for additional information.
To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.
Cooktop On Indicator Light
The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel. When any control knob/cooktop element on the console panel is turned on, the Cooktop On indicator light will glow.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
On ceramic glass models, the hot surface indicator light is located on the console panel.
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off.
Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)
The Dual Zone cooking element offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
Melt Cooking Element (on some models)
The Melt cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide range of settings between HI and Melt. The HI heat option can be used to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. The lowest setting can be used to prepare sauces and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt element.
Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
COOKWARE | CHARACTERISTICS |
Aluminum | ■ Heats quickly and evenly. ■ Suitable for all types of cooking. ■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks. ■ May leave aluminum residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking. |
Cast iron | ■ Heats slowly and evenly. ■ Good for browning and frying. ■ Maintains heat for slow cooking. ■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch the cooktop. |
Ceramic or Ceramic glass | ■ Follow manufacturer's instructions. ■ Heats slowly, but unevenly. ■ Ideal results on low to medium heat settings. ■ May scratch the cooktop. |
Copper | ■ Heats very quickly and evenly. ■ May leave copper residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking ■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond to the cooktop if overheated. |
Earthenware | ■ Follow manufacturer's instructions. ■ Use on low heat settings. ■ May scratch the cooktop. |
Porcelain enamel-onsteel or cast iron | ■ See stainless steel or cast iron. ■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without the metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated. |
Stainless steel | ■ Heats quickly, but unevenly. ■ A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating. |
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room.
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.

Four Tones
Oven Temperature Control
Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate reading due to this cycling.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Sabbath mode, visit www.star-k.org.
The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting until turned off.
The Oven Control Lockout feature will be disabled during the Sabbath mode. After the Sabbath mode is set, no tones will sound, the display will not show the temperature, the Kitchen Timer mode will be canceled (if active), and only the following keypads will function:
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately.
When power is restored after a power failure, the oven will return to Sabbath mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake elements off until the Cancel keypad is pressed. Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath compliant). Before entering the Sabbath mode, it must be decided if the oven light is to be on or off for the entire Sabbath mode period. If the light is on when entering Sabbath mode, it will remain on for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. If the light is off when entering Sabbath mode, it will remain off for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. Opening the oven door or pressing LIGHT will not affect the oven light once Sabbath mode has been entered.
If the oven has the Convection Bake feature, the oven light is controlled by a separate Oven Light switch on the console. If the oven light is ON when entering the Sabbath mode, it will remain ON for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. For the oven light to be OFF during the Sabbath mode, the light bulb must be removed from the oven prior to entering the Sabbath mode. Not performing these steps will cause the oven light to turn on when the oven door is opened, resulting in the oven being not Sabbath compliant.
On the Holiday, the oven temperature can be changed once the oven is in Sabbath mode by pressing the Temp/Time up or down arrow keypad. The oven temperature will change 25°F (-4°C) each time the Temp/Time up and down arrow keypads are pressed. Press the Start keypad to activate the new temperature. The display will not change and there will be no sounds during this adjustment.
To Bake Using Sabbath Mode:
To Set a Timed Bake Using Sabbath Mode (on some models):
To Set a Delayed Timed Bake Using Sabbath Mode (on some models):
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.
Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven during the Keep Warm function. For best results, cover food. The Keep Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving temperature.
To Use:
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide for positioning racks
Rack Position | Type of Food |
5 | Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers, steaks, or toast. |
4 | Broiling thicker cuts of meat, poultry, fish. |
3 or 4 | Frozen prepackaged foods, most baked goods, and casseroles. |
1 or 2 | Large roasts or poultry |
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 or 2 and 5.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.
When broiling, preheat the oven for two minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature while the fan circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.
To Set a Timed Cook:
To Set a Delayed Timed Cook:
