Simmer Feature (somemodels)The Simmer feature is an adjustable setting

which allows for moreprecise simmering of foods.The switch, when in the

"OFF" position, operates atnormal wattage (1800 W). When in the "ON"position, it operates the right front element'at a lower wattage (450 W).

NOTE: All other elements can be used for

normal operation whether the Simmerfeature is in use or not.

Warm Zone Feature (somemodels)Use the Warm Zone element to keep

w,t.,,o,L=._,, cooked foods warm. It is not

=' recommended for heating

cold foods. The Warm Zoneis located in the center of

your cooktop. Set switch to "ON" for use.

• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum

foil. Do not use plastic wrap to coverfood because it may melt onto thecooktop surface. When warming bakedgoods, allow a small opening in the coverfor moisture to escape.

• Use only cookware and dishes

recommended for oven and cooktop use.

• Use potholders or oven mitts to removefood.

• The Warm Zone element will not glow redwhen it is on, unlike the surface

elements. However, the surface indicatorlight on the cooktop will glow.

• The Warm Zone element may be usedwhether the other elements are in useor not.

• The quality of the food may deteriorate ifit is kept on the Warm Zone element foran extended period of time.

Using the ceramic glass cooktopCooking on the ceramic glass cooktop isalmost the same as cooking on coil surfaceunits. There are, however, a few differences:

• The cooking surface area wilt glow redwhen the element is turned on. You will seethe element cycling on and off - even onthe HI setting - to help the area stay at thetemperature setting you choose.

• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pansare clean and dry before cooking. Foodand water particles left on the bottoms canleave deposits on the cooktop when it isheated.

• Wiping off the cooktop before and aftereach use will help keep the surface freefrom stains and give you the most evenheating. See the "Cleaning tips" section.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.• Lift pots and pans onto and off of the

cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on thecooktop could leave marks that are difficultto remove or could leave permanent marks.

• Do not cook popcorn that comes inprepackaged aluminum containers on thecooktop. The container could leavealuminum marks on the cooktop thatcannot be removed completely.

• Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

• Do not allow anything that could melt,such as plastic or aluminum foil, to comein contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

• Dropping a heavy or hard object on thecooktop could crack it. Be careful whenusing heavy skillets and large pots. Donot store jars or cans above the cooktop.

• Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.See the "Cleaning tips" section.

Cookware tips• Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface cooking area. Cookwareshould not extend more than 1 inch(2.5 cm) outside the area.

• For best results and greater energyefficiency, use only flat-bottomedcookware that makes good contact withthe surface cooking area. Cookware withrounded, warped, ribbed (such as someporcelain enamelware), or dented bottomscould cause uneven heating and poorcooking results.

• Cookware designed with slightly indentedbottoms or small expansion channels canbe used.

• Cookware with non-stick finish has

heating characteristics of the base material.• Check for rough spots on the bottom of

metal or glass cookware which will scratchthe ceramic glass surface.

• Use flat bottom cookware for best heat

conduction from the surface cooking areato the cookware. Determine flatness with

the ruler test. Place the edge of a ruleracross the bottom of the cookware. Hold itup to the light. No light should be visibleunder the ruler. Rotate the ruler in alldirections and look for any light.

• Do not leave empty cookware, orcookware that has boiled dry, on a hotsurface cooking area. The cookwarecould overheat, causing damage to thecookware or the surface cooking area.

11

fusing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Characteristics of cookware materialsThe pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the panmaterial and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide thebest cooking results.

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

Use for all tyl_es of cooking.Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.• Good for browning and frying.• Maintains heat for slow cooking.• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Ceramic or * Heats slowly and unevenly.ceramic glass • Use on low to medium settings.

• Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Copper ° Heats very quickly and evenly.• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Earthenware * Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by themanufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel • See cast iron and stainless steel.or enamel-on-cast iron

Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware

provides even heating.• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

• Use the entire surface ("DUAL" setting) ofthe left front surface cooking area for bestresults.

• Use flat-bottomed canners on all types ofcooktops, especially ceramic glass.Canners with dppled or ridged bottoms donot allow good contact with the surface.

• Center the canner over the largest surfacecooking area. Do not extend more than 1 inch(2.5 cm) outside the surface cooking area.Large diameter canners/pans, if not centeredcorrectly, will trap heat and result in damageto the cooktop. Do not place on two surfacecooking areas at the same time.

• The type of material the canner is made ofdetermines the length of heating time. Referto the "Characteristics of cookware materials"chart in this section for more information.

• When canning for long periods of time, allowelements and the surrounding surfaces tocool down.

•Altemate use of the surface cooking areasbetween batches or prepare small batchesat a time.

Start with hot water, cover with a lid, andbring to a boil; then reduce heat to maintaina boil or required pressure levels in apressure canner.

For up-to-date information on canning, inthe United States, contact your local U.S.Government Agricultural DepartmentExtension Office or companies whomanufacture home canning products. InCanada, contact Agriculture Canada.

Optional canning kit(Coil element models)The large diameter of most water-bath orpressure canners combined with high heatsettings for long periods of time can shortenthe life of regular surface units and causedamage to the cooktop.

If you plan to use the cooktop for canning,we recommend the installationof a CanningKit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from yourdealer, or call 1-800-422-1230 (in Canada,1-800-461-5681 ) and follow the instructionsand telephone prompts you hear.

Caring for your cooktop(Ceramic glass cooktops)This cooktop is designed for easy care.However, ceramic glass cooktops needto be maintained differently than standardelectric coil elements. Foods spilled directlyon the cooktop will not burn off as on coilelements. Because of this, the surfaceshould be dust-free and soil-free beforeheating.

Your cooktop has been prepolished atthe factory for improved protection andcleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme,a paper towel or a sponge is all you need toclean your cooktop. For proper cleaningmethods, please review the "How to keepyour cooktop looking like new" chart. Followthis chart after each use to ensure top per-formance and to preserve that uniquely ele-gant look.

3. Hold the surface unit as level as possiblewith the terminal just started into thereceptacle. Push the surface unit termi- 'hal into the receptacle.

4. When terminal is pushed into the

receptacle as far as it will go, pushdown the edge of the surface unit oppo-site the receptacle.

NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the cookware on the surface units. They also helpcatch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.

If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of your cookware may not be flat enough, or somemay be too large for the surface unit. In either case, some of the heat that is meant to go intoor around cookware goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This extra heat can discolor it.

Cleaning under the lift-up cooktop1. Lift front of cooktop at both front corners

until the support rods lock into place.

2. Wipe with warm, soapy water. Use a soapysteel-wool pad on heavily soiled areas.

• When baking with two pans, place pansin opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTE: "Oven peeking" may cause heatloss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfac-tory baking or roasting results. Rely onyour timer.

Jsing and Caring for Your Oven

Rack positions

Your oven has two straight racks (thermalmodels) or three straight racks(Thermal-Convection TM models), and fiverack positions. Rack position 5 is thehighest position, or farthest from the bottomof the oven, Rack position 1 is the lowestposition, or closest to the bottom of theoven.

For proper cooking, follow theseguidelines:

• When using one rack, place the rack sothe top of the food will be centered in theoven.

• When using two racks, place one rack inpos_ion 1 and the other rack in position 3.

• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven ata time when using the BAKE setting.

Bakeware tips• When baking with insulated cookie

sheets or baking pans, place them in thebottom third of the oven. You may need toincrease the recommended baking times,

so test for aloneness before removing fromthe oven.

• When using ovenproof glassware ordark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-

ture by 25°F (14°C), but use the samebaking time. Because these pans absorbheat, producing darker bottom browningand crispier crusts, place the rack in thecenter of the oven. When baking pies andbread, you can use the temperature sug-gested in the recipe.

Rack placement for specificfoods:

(For rack positions, see "Rack positions" inprevious column.)

RACKFOOD POSITION

Frozen pies 2

Angel food and bundtcakes, most quick 1 or 2breads, yeast breads,casseroles, meats

Cookies, biscuits,muffins, cakes, 2 or 3nonfrozen pies

Using aluminum foil• Do not line the oven bottom with any

type of foil, liners, or cookware.Permanent damage will occur to theoven bottom finish.

• Do not block the oven bottom vents.

Do not cover the entire rack withaluminum foil. Doing so will reduce aircirculation and overall oven performance.

To catch spillovers from pies orcasseroles place foil on the oven rackbelow. Foil should be turned up at edgesand be at least 1 inch larger than dish.

• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meator poultry to slow down surface browningfor long term roasting. Remove foil for thelast 30 minutes.

• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrustedges if browning too quickly.

23

]sing and Caring for Your Oven

Convection baking tips(CONVECTION BAKEpad)• Do not use aluminum foil when

convection baking. Aluminum foil mayblock airflow.

• Reduce recommended recipe oventemperature by approximately 25°F(14°C). See recipe adaption chart inyour convection oven cookbook forrecommended temperatures.

• For most recipes, you can reduceconvection baking time compared tostandard baking times. See convectionbaking chart in your convection ovencookbook for recommended baking times.

NOTE: Cooking time may be longer whenyou use more than one rack.

* When baking on two or three racks, usethe convection bake setting for more evenresults. (You can, however, use only onerack when convection baking.)

• To use three racks during convectionbaking, place racks in position 5 (thehighest position), 3 and 1 (the closest tothe oven bottom). This allows all threeracks to be an equal distance apart forbetter baking,

• Stagger cake pans or other cookware inopposite directions on each rack whenthree racks are used.

Roasting tips• Roast meats fat-side up in a shallow pan

using a roasting rack.

• Use a roasting pan that fits the size ofthe food to be roasted, Meat juices mayoverflow the sides of a pan that is toosmall. Too large of a pan will result inincreased oven spatter.

• Spatter can be reduced by lining thebottom of the roasting pan with tightlycrushed aluminum foil.

• Use an accurate meat thermometer todetermine when meat has reached desired

degree of doneness. Insert thethermometer into the center of the thickest

portion of the meat or inner thigh or breastof poultry. For an accurate reading, the tipof the thermometer should not touch fat,bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once,push it further into the meat ½ inch ormore and read again. If the temperaturedrops, return the meat to the oven formore cooking.

• Check pork and poultry with athermometer in 2-3 places to ensureadequate doneness,

• Poultry and roasts will be easier tocarve if loosely covered with foil andallowed to stand 10-15 minutes afterremoval from the oven,

• You can reduce roasting times andtemperatures for most standard recipeswhen using the convection roast setting,See convection roasting chart in yourconvection oven cookbook for recommended

roasting times and temperatures.

J_sing and Caring for Your Oven

• Use the convection roasting rack on thebroiler pan (both included with yourrange). (The convection roasting rackrests on the broiler pan, not inside it.) Thelong side of the rack should be parallelwith the oven door for best heatdistribution and airflow.

NOTE: Place the convection roasting rackon the broiler pan with grid to contain thedrippings as the meat roasts.

around edge/

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,make sure you:

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend

the gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, androasting may result.

• Hand-clean the areas shown. Theydo not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away.Use hot water and detergent or a soapy,steel-wool pad for cleaning.

• Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slotson door and frame.

• Remove the broiler pan and grid andanything else being stored in the oven.

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. Thiswill help reduce smoke during theSelf-Cleaning cycle.

• Wipe up food spills containing sugarand/or milk as soon as possible after theoven cools down. When sugar is heated toa high temperature in the Self-Cleaningcycle, the high temperature can cause thesugar to burn and react with the porcelain.This can cause staining, etching, pitting, orfaint white spots.

46

• Remove the oven racks from the oven if

you want them to remain shiny. You canclean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, butthey will discolor and become harder to slide.If you clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,place them on the rack guides.

• Heat and odors are normal during theSelf-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchenwell-ventilated by opening a window orby turning on a vent hood or other kitchenvent during the cycle.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds isextremely sensitive to the fumes given offduring the Self-Cleaning cycle. Move birds toanother closed and well ventilated room.

NOTES:

• Keep the kitchen well ventilated during theSelf-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat,odors, and smoke.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer andresults in more smoke than usual.

• Do not block the oven vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle.Air must move freely for bestcleaning results.

• Do not leave plastic utensilson the cooktop.They may melt.

• Remove any combustible items, such aspaper napkins, from the storage drawer. Thisincludes utensilswith plastichandles that canbecome overheated and melt.

• Do not leave any foil in oven during theSelf-Cleaning cycle. Foil could bum ormelt and damage the oven surface.

• The oven light will not work during theSelf-Cleaning cycle.

• The cooktop will not work duringtheSelf-Cleaning cycle on Canadian models.

LJsing the Self-Cleaning Cycle

For best cleaning resuJts• After the oven cools to room

temperature, wipe up any residue or ashwith a damp cloth or sponge. If any spotsremain, clean with a mild abrasivecleanser or cleaning sponge.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavilysoiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takeslonger and results in more smoke thanusual.

• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not getthe oven as clean as you expected, thecycle may not have been set long enoughor you may not have prepared the ovenproperly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longerthe next time and hand-clean areas notedin "Before You Start".

How the cycle worksThe Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat

to bum away soil and grease. During the cycle,the oven gets much hotter than it does fornormal baking or broiling. This high heatbreaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.

Your oven is preset for a 3_-hourSelf-Cleaning cycle. However, the cycletime can be adjusted to the amount of soilin your oven. The cycle can be setanywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See the"Setting the controls" section.)

The graph at the right is representative ofa normal, 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notethat the heating stops when the 3-hour set-ting is up, but it takes longer for the oven tocool enough to unlock.
