WARNING

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

  • Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
    ■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if

they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.
■ Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

WARNING

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

  • Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
    ■ If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the

oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

WARNING

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
■ To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

■ Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.
■ When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.

WARNING

GLASS COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
- Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
■ Use ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-scratch cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot

surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception. They should be scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for detailed instructions.

  • Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream label.
  • Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
  • Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop surface since they can get hot.

WARNING

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
- Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualified service technician.
- Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
- Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite.

Surface Units

How Induction Surface Cooking Works

The elements beneath the cooking surface produce a magnetic field that generates heat in ferrous metal pans that are in close proximity.

The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat is produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be generated until a pan is placed on the cooking surface.

When the element is activated, the pan begins to heat immediately and in turn heats the contents of the pan.

Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of cookware made of ferrous metals—metals to which magnets will stick, such as iron or steel.

Use pans that fit the element size. The pan must be large enough for the element to detect the pan and be able to deliver full power.

The cooktop will not operate if a very small steel or iron utensil, such as a steel spatula, cooking spoon, knife or other small utensil, is placed on the cooking surface when the unit is turned on.

CAUTION

■ The induction cooking elements may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
■ DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with hands. Always use mitts or pot holders to protect hands from burns.
■ DO NOT SLIDE cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

Operating the Cooktop Elements

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range unattended with the cooktop on medium or high settings. Keep flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, serious injury or death.

Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Place your Induction designed cookware on the cooking surface. Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.

A knob indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.

For glass cooktop surfaces:

Using the Warming Zone (on some models)

WARNING

FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140°F.

■ Always start with hot food. Do not use warm setting to heat cold food.
■ Do not use warm setting for more than 2 hours.

The WARMING ZONE, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.

To turn the WARMING ZONE on, turn knob clockwise to the setting you want.

For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

The initial temperature, type and amount of food, type of pan, and the time held will affect the quality of the food.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the WARMING ZONE, since cookware and plates will be hot.

Cookware for Induction Cooktop

Using the correct size cookware

Pans that are not ferrous or are too small will not allow the induction elements to turn on, and the ON indicator for that element location will flash for 25 seconds and then turn off. If a pan is removed from or not centered on the induction coil for more than 30 seconds, the power for that element will be shut off.

Cookware larger than the element ring may be used; however, heat will only occur above the element.

For best results, the cookware must make FULL contact with the glass surface.

Do not allow the bottom of the pan or cookware to touch the surrounding metal cooktop trim.

For best performance, match the pan size to the element size. Using a smaller pot on a larger burner will generate less power at any given setting.

5" Min. Dia. Pan Size 4-1/2" Min. Dia. Pan Size 5" Min. Dia. Pan Size 7" Min. Dia. Pan Size

Use the minimum size pan shown for each cooking element.

Suitable Cookware

Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution and even cooking results. Choose cookware made of magnetic stainless steel, enamel coated cast iron, enameled steel or combinations of these materials.

Some cookware is specifically identified by the manufacturer for use with induction cooktops. Use a magnet to test if the cookware will work.

Flat-bottomed pans give best results. Pans with rims or slight ridges can be used.

Round pans give best results. Pans with warped or curved bottoms will not heat evenly.

For wok cooking, use a flat-bottomed wok. Do not use a wok with a support ring.

NOTE: The warming zone is NOT an induction element and will work with flat bottomed cookware that is NOT ferrous.

Café CHS950P3MD1 - Suitable Cookware - 1
Use flat-bottomed pans.

Café CHS950P3MD1 - Suitable Cookware - 2
Use a griddle.

Café CHS950P3MD1 - Suitable Cookware - 3
Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Cookware "Noise"

Slight sounds may be produced by different types of cookware. Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-ply stainless steel pan. The size of the pan, and the amount of contents, can also contribute to the sound level.

When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power level settings, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low whistle or intermittent "hum". These noises can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level settings of one or both of the elements. Pans that completely cover the element ring will produce less noise.

A low “humming” noise is normal particularly on high settings.

Sounds you may here: You may hear a slight “Buzz” when cooking with Hi mode. This is normal. The sound depends on the type of pot being used. Some pots will “Buzz” louder depending on the material. A “Buzz” sound may be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the pan heats, the sound will decrease. If the power level is reduced, the sound level will go down.

Power Control

If a surface unit is on power level H (high), for an extended period of time or if multiple surface units are on, there may be a slight reduction in power to the surface unit. Water under pans may also cause the controls to reduce the power delivered to the cookware.

Cookware for Induction Cooktop (Cont.)

Cookware recommendations

Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element.

Use flat-bottomed pans sized to fit the cooking element and also to the amount of food being prepared.

Induction interface disks are NOT recommended.

Oven Racks

Rack Positions

Your oven has two rack positions in the upper oven (A, B) and four rack positions in the lower oven (R, 1, 2, 3). Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.

Removing and Replacing Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.

To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way into the oven.

Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.

NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal cooking performance.

Extension Racks (on some models)

Extension racks have a frame that locks into the rack supports on both sides. Once the frame is locked into place, always use the upper front rail to pull the rack out to its full extension position when placing or removing cookware.

If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven. Remove the rack from the oven (see Extension Rack Removal), remove debris in the slide tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite lubricant, and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.

See the Assistance/Accessories section for instructions on ordering additional racks and graphite lubricant.

Café CHS950P3MD1 - Extension Racks (on some models) - 1

Extension Rack Removal

  1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven.
  2. Firmly holding onto both the upper and lower front rails, pull the rack toward you, tilt the front end up and pull the rack out.

Extension Rack Replacement

  1. Place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports.
  2. Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until it stops.
  3. Lay the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way into the oven.

If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil on the rack slides.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION

Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat g in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of ot covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25° F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

Warm

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food It is recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press the Warm pad and then press Start/Enter.

Some models may also have warming drawers. Three settings are available - use High for items such as stews, meats, and potatoes; use Medium for items such as casseroles and pizzas; use Low for items such as breads, waffles, and also for warming oven-safe dishes.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the oven door/drawer closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling; placing food close to the broil element or burner increases smoking, spattering and the possibility of fats igniting. It is not necessary to preheat when using the Broil modes.

Broil Hi

The Broil High mode uses intense heat from the upper element or burner to sear foods. Use Broil High for thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would like to have a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start/Enter.

Broil Lo

The Broil Low mode uses less intense heat from the upper element or burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface. Use Broil Low for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start/Enter.

Cooking Modes (Cont.)

Frozen Snacks

The Frozen Snacks modes are designed to cook frozen foods such as potato nuggets, French fries, and similar frozen snacks and appetizers. Most foods will cook within package recommended time. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences.

Use Frozen Snacks Single when cooking frozen snacks on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.

Use Frozen Snacks Multi when cooking frozen snacks on two racks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking. Press Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Frozen Pizza

The Frozen Pizza modes are designed to cook frozen pizzas. Most pizzas will cook within package recommended times. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences.

Use Frozen Pizza Single when cooking on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.

Use Frozen Pizza Multi when cooking on two racks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking. Press Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Baked Goods

The Baked Goods mode is designed for cooking cakes, breads, cookies, and similar foods on a single rack. This mode is designed to provide lighter top browning and better volume. Some foods may require slightly longer cook times relative to when cooked in the traditional bake mode. Press Options and select Baked Goods than follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the temperature when using this mode. Always preheat when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to improve browning and reduce cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this mode, or use the probe (see the Probe section for more information). It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

Proof

Proof mode maintains a warm environment for rising yeast-leavened dough. If the oven is too warm, Proof mode will not operate and the display will show "Oven too hot for Proof". For best results, cover the dough while proofing and check early to avoid over-proofing.

CAUTION

Do not use the Proof mode for warming

food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures.

Pre-Heat

Proper preheating ensures that the oven is hot enough to begin baking. Improper preheating (that is, cooking in the oven that has not come up to set temperature) can negatively affect cooking. Depending on the recipe recommendations, the temperature of your foods when they go into the oven may determine your final baking time and baking results; if you put your food, such as biscuits or breads, in during Pre-heat, they may over brown on top or burn.

IMPORTANT: The more items to be heated in the oven during preheat (this includes multiple racks, baking stones, etc.) will affect the length of your pre-heat time. Always begin baking after the pre-heat signal. The signal will be a beep, indicatort light or chime. This lets you know your oven is at your needed baking temperature. For best results, turn the oven On before you begin your prep work.

WARNING

Consuming undercooked food can result in foodborne illness. Use probe according to instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking temperatures. Ons for minimum safe food temperatures can be found at or IsItDoneYet.gov.

Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food temperature reaches the programmed temperature.

Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.

Proper Probe Placement

After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking pan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.

■ Insert the probe into the food, so that the tip of the probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of the food. For best performance the probe should be fully inserted into the food. If the probe is not located properly, it may not accurately measure the temperature of the coolest portion of the food. Some foods, particularly small items, are not well suited for cooking with the probe due to their shape or size.
■ The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
■ For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast.
■ For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center of the roast.
■ For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
■ For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the probe into the center of the dish.
■ For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Probe Usage

The temperature probe can only be used with Bake, Convection Bake, and Convection Roast.

To use the probe with preheating:

  1. Select the desired cook mode (Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) pad and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads.
  2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).

  3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet, making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven walls and probe outlet are hot.

  4. When the probe is connected, the display will prompt you to enter the desired food temperature. The maximum internal food temperature that you can set is 200° F.

To use the probe without preheating:

  1. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
  2. Place the food in the oven and connect the probe into the probe outlet in the oven.
  3. Press the Cook Mode pad (Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads. Press Options and select Probe then follow the display prompts to enter the desired food temperature.

Probe Care Guidelines

■ Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe outlet.
■ Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet
■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting the probe.
■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
■ Never leave the probe inside the oven during a self or steam clean cycle.
■ Do not store the probe in the oven.

For a moderately soiled oven, run a 3 hour self-clean cycle. For a heavily soiled oven, run a 5 hour self-clean cycle. Only self-clean (black) racks and grates may remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. All other items, including nickel plated (silver) racks, should be removed. If nickel plated (silver) racks are left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the racks will tarnish. If either type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide. See the Oven Racks section for instructions on how to improve.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

To use the Self Clean feature:

  1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
  2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven and interior door.
  3. Remove all items other than self-clean (black) racks and grates, if desired. See Cleaning the Cooktop to determine if your grates may be self-

cleaned and for important details regarding grate placement.

  1. Close the door.

  2. Press Upper Oven or Lower Oven, press the Clean pad, select Self Clean and then press Start/Enter.

You cannot open the door during the self-clean cycle. The door will remain locked after the self-clean cycle until the oven cools below the unlocking temperature. At the end of the self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool and wipe any ash out of the oven.

To Stop a Self-Clean Cycle

Press the Cancel/Off pad. Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the oven has cooled below the locking temperature.

On Some Models:

The surface units are automatically disabled during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle.

Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

Racks

All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity during self clean.

Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Normal Daily Use Cleaning

For models with Precision Cooktop Sensor on the left front element: ONLY use water and dish detergent on the Precision Cooktop Sensor. Do not use cream based cleaners. Cleaners that have grit can cause build up around sensor and restrict its ability to move freely.

To maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop, follow these steps:

  1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
  2. Regular use of ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
  3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of a ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop.

  4. Use a paper towel or non-scratch cleaning pad for Ceramic Cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.

  5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse.

NOTE: It is very important that you DO NOT heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

These marks are removable using the ceramic cooktop cleaner with the non-scratch cleaning pad for Ceramic Cooktops.

  1. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop.

This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

NOTE: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.

  1. Be careful not to place aluminum baking sheets or aluminum frozen entrée containers on a hot cooktop surface. It will leave shiny dots or markings on the cooktop surface. These markings are permanent and cannot be cleaned off.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface. Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances.

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.

Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

  1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.
  2. Wearing an oven mitt:

a. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper to move the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.

b. Remove the spill with paper towels.

  1. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.
  2. Don't use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely removed.

NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass surface has already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.

Oven Probe

The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.

To order additional temperature probes, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.
