Oven Temperature Offset Control
IMPORTANT: 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 to Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Press SETTINGS/CLOCK until “TEMP CALIB” is displayed.
2. On some models, press “1” to adjust the drawer temperature
calibration. Press START, wait 10 seconds for the display to
change, and then continue with Step 3.

Cooktop Use
WARNING
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
� Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
� For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
cause pitting and permanent marks.
� To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes
on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on
the cooktop.
� Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on
the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be
removed completely.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part
of the entire cooktop.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a
cutting board.
� Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 c
m)
outside the area.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. 1/2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
� Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking
results.
� Determine 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.
� Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
� Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on
the cooktop.

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.
