BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS COOKTOP DISPLAY WINDOWS The cooktop controls provide a digital display for each element located on the cooktop. Power levels and messages are easily monitored and adjusted using the corresponding control keypads in combination with the window displays. POWER FAILURE (PF) MESSAGE The PF message (Figure 9) will be displayed whenever there has been a power interruption to the appliance. The PF message will disappear by itself after a few seconds.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS USING PROPER COOKWARE ABOUT THE RADIANT SURFACE ELEMENTS Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (Figure 1). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 2). For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

To Operate the Triple Radiant Elements: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the bridge radiant element. 2.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS KEEP WARM ZONE The cooktop provides a keep warm zone located as illustrated. Use the following instructions when operating this element. The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature 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 keep warm zone.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS ARRANGING OVEN RACKS ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM CONTROL PAD SETTINGS All of the features listed below have minimum and maximum time or temperature settings that may be entered into the control. An ENTRY acceptance beep will sound each time a control pad is touched (the acceptance beep on the Oven Lockout pad is delayed 3 seconds). An ENTRY ERROR tone (3 short beeps) will sound if the entry of the temperature or time is below the minimum or above the maximum settings for the feature.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING THE CLOCK The SET CLOCK pad is used to set the clock. The clock may be set for 12 or 24 hour time of day operation. The clock has been preset at the factory for the 12 hour operation. When the range is first plugged in, or when the power supply to the range has been interrupted, the timer in the display will flash. To set the clock (example below for 1:30) 1. Press SET CLOCK. "CLO" will appear in the display. 2. Press 1 3 0 pads to set the time of day to 1:30.

A reminder tone will sound indicating when to place the food in the oven. When the oven is finished preheating quick preheat will become just like the bake feature and continue to bake until cancelled. To set the quick preheat with an oven temperature of 375°F 1. Arrange the interior oven racks. 2.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING CONVECTION BAKE This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best culinary results when baking with multiple pans and racks. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Some food may cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Convection baking uses the three elements and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING CONVECTION CONVERT The Convection Convert pad is used to automatically convert a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convection Convert may ONLY be used with a Convection Bake cooking mode. It can be used with the features Delay Start and Bake Time (see their sections for directions).
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING BAKE TIME Bake Time allows the oven to be set to cook for a specific length of time and shut off automatically. The oven will shut off and will beep when the countdown is finished. This feature can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast and Pizza cooking modes. To program the oven to begin baking immediately and to shut off automatically (example: BAKE at 350°F for 30 minutes): 1. Be sure the clock is set for the correct time of day. 2.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING BROIL This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1" thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 2 & 3).
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING SLOW COOK SETTING PIZZA The SLOW COOK feature may be used to cook foods more slowly at lower temperatures. Slow Cook provides cooking results much the same way as a slow cooker or a Crock-Po. The PIZZA pad has been designed to give optimum cooking performance when cooking your favorite pizza. The Pizza pad let you choose a preset between a frozen pizza (425°F) and a fresh pizza (400°F). If needed, a different target temperature than the presets can be entered.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING KEEP WARM This mode is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. The KEEP WARM pad turns ON the Keep Warm feature and will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F (77°C). The Keep Warm feature will keep oven baked foods warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished. After 3 hours the Keep Warm feature will shut the oven OFF.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS USING AND SETTING MEAT PROBE (UPPER OVEN ONLY) Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most effective way of insuring that your food has been properly cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the meat probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts, testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure properly cooked meats. Fig.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS USING AND SETTING MEAT PROBE (UPPER OVEN ONLY) To use the meat probe: 1. Prepare the food and properly insert the temperature probe into the food. DO NOT PREHEAT or start cooking before properly inserting the meat probe. The probe should be inserted into the food and receptacle while the oven is still cool. 2. Place the prepared food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven. 3. Plug the meat probe into the probe receptacle located on the left front oven cavity side. 4.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING MY FAVORITE The My Favorite setting allow you to save your most frequently used or most complex cooking sequence. This feature will save the cooking mode, the target temperature and the bake time (if any). The oven can recall a cooking sequences from its internal memory, which is easily accessible from a one touch button. This function can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast and Preheat. To save a Favorite (example is a 450°F Bake for 30 minutes): 1.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING THE SABBATH FEATURE (for use on the Jewish Sabbath & Holidays) The BAKE TIME and DELAY START pads are used to set the Sabbath feature. The Sabbath feature may only be used with the BAKE pad. The oven temperature may be set higher or lower after setting the Sabbath feature (the oven temperature adjustment feature should be used only during Jewish Holidays), however the display will not visibly show or provide any audible tones indicating whether the change occurred correctly.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS ADJUSTING OVEN TEMPERATURE The temperature in the oven has been pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the recommended temperature.
SELF-CLEANING SELF-CLEANING What to Expect during 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. While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.
SELF-CLEANING SETTING SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TIME LENGTH The SELF CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a selfclean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
CARE & CLEANING (Cleaning Chart) CLEANING VARIOUS PARTS OF YOUR APPLIANCE Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANING LATER. Surfaces How to Clean Aluminum (trim pieces) & Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
CARE & CLEANING CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING & MAINTENANCE Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop. Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or 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.
CARE & CLEANING CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP (CONTINUED) Plastic or foods with a high sugar content: These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated).
CARE & CLEANING REMOVING AND REPLACING THE LIFTOFF OVEN DOOR 3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do not use the oven door handle - See Figure 3). CAUTION The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down. Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Read the following recommendations: 1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place. 2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object. 3.
BEFORE YOU CALL (Solutions to Common Problems) OVEN BAKING For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles. The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.
