Setting Surface Controls About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Fig 1). Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used.
Setting Surface Controls The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) The Electronic Surface Element Control (“ESEC”) feature includes 4 digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for 4 of the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop, including shared settings at the left front knob control position for both the left front radiant element and the “Bridge” radiant element. Also the right front control knob position shares settings for the dual radiant element.
Setting Surface Controls ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE) After using any of the single, dual or Bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the message “HE” (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (See Fig.1).
Setting Surface Controls The Dual Surface Radiant Element Figure 1 Figure 4 The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element located at the right front (See Fig. 4) position. Symbols on the control panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol shown in Figure 1 indicates that only the inner coil will heat. The symbol shown in Figure 4 indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat .
Setting Surface Controls To Operate the Bridge Surface Element: Figure 1 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 2 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface element. 2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See Figs. 1 and 2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for normal shaped cookware or clockwise (See Figs. 3 and 4) for larger or rectangular shaped cookware. 3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting.
Surface Cooking Operating the Warming Zone The purpose of the Warming Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the Warming Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warming Zone. All food placed on the Warming Zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality.
Before Setting Oven Controls Arranging the Oven Racks ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot. Oven Vent Location The oven vent is located below the backguard. When the oven is on, hot air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Removing and Replacing Oven Racks To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
Setting Warming Drawer Controls (some models) Arranging Warming Drawer Rack Positions The rack can be used in 2 ways: • In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath). • In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Self-Cleaning Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the selfcleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room. A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. These temperatures are well above normal cooking temperatures. 1.
Self-Cleaning To Start Self-Clean Cycle The CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
