IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP

Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the cookware.

Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface elements — To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over other cooking areas.

Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking area will improve efficiency.

Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may damage the cooktop.

Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn on the fan.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS

Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.

Placement of oven racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot burner or element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the rack.

Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper cookware and always use the oven racks.

Bakeware

The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food.

Material Attributes Recommendation
Shiny metal bakeware	Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated bakeware is the best for even heating. It is suitable for all baked goods.	Recommended cooking temperatures and times are based on shiny metal bakeware.
Dark metal bakeware	Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.	Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14°C) when using dark bakeware.
Glass bakeware	Glass bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.Glass is convenient, as the same piece of bakeware can be used for cooking, serving, and storing food.	Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14°C) when using glass bakeware.
Insulated bakeware	Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny bakeware.Insulated bakeware is designed for baking in gas ovens.	Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14°C) when using glass bakeware.

Cooking Conditions

Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.

Material Attributes Recommendation
Aging cookware As pans age	and becomediscolored, cooking times mayneed to be reduced slightly.	If food is too dark or overcooked, use theminimum cook time in the recipe or packaging.If food is too light or undercooked, use themiddle to maximum cook time in the recipeor packaging.
High altitude Air is drier and	air pressure islower.Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster.Foods may take longer tobake.Doughs may rise faster.	Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, orrecipes as needed.Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishesto reduce evaporation.Increase bake time or oven temperature.Reduce amount of baking soda or bakingpowder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punchdown dough and allow it to rise twice.

Problems Recommendation

Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Cooking Tips

Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.

Oven Use Recommendation
Baking
Rack placement Follow the	instructions in “Oven Controls” on starting on page 17.When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.
Preheat Fully preheat the oven	oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately after the beep.
Checking food Use the wind	ow and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking performance.
Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
Broiling / Roasting
Broiling pan For best results	when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.
Convection Cooking
Convection attributes Convection	ction cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven.Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once.
Convection bake Reduce cooking	cooking temperature by 25^ F ( 13-14^ C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for convection baking.Preheat the oven for best results.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Illustration of a hand holding a magnifying glass with a ruler, showing rotational motion (no text or symbols)

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see Figure 1). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (see Figure 2).

Figure 1: Testing cookware

Illustration of a pan with a cooking pan and a prohibition symbol above it (no text or labels)

• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
  • Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.
• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
  • Made of material that conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
  • Always match pot diameter to element size.

• C urved and warped pans.

• C ookware larger than cooking area marked on cooktop by more than one-half inch or 12mm.

• H eavy handle tilts pan.

- P an is smaller than the heating area marked on cooktop.

Figure 2: Proper cookware

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (see Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. If cast iron pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

IMPORTANT

Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop. The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly, especially if left empty, and they may bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for use and care of cookware.

CAUTION

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensil) is not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause potential fire hazard. Never use the griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass cooktop.

About Surface Elements

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

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. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed cookware should be used. The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.

NOTE

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

For detailed information about the ceramic cooktop, refer to the "Cooktop Cleaning" on page 29.

CAUTION

Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

Cooktop Indicator Light

The Cooktop indicator light will turn on when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off (Figure 3).

Cooktop

Figure 3: Cooktop indicator Light Location

Hot Surface Indicator Light

Your appliance is equipped with a radiant surface control indicator light, which is located on the control panel (Figure 4).

Hot Surface

Figure 4: Hot Surface indicator Light Location

The Hot Surface indicator light will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a moderate level.

CAUTION

The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned off.

Home Canning

CAUTION

Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.

Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.

Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.

It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.

Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

Surface Cooking Elements and Settings

The cooktop has four single radiant or coil surface elements, depending upon your appliance.

Figure 6: Control knob shown is typical only

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the surface element power level setting needed for best cooking results. Use Table 1 to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.

Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI)	Start most foods; bring water to a boil and pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (8-10)	Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat frying
MEDIUM (6)	Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and gravies; steaming vegetables
Medium LOW (2-4)	Keep foods cooking; poaching and stewing
LOW (LO)	Keep warm, melting and simmering

Table 1: Recommended settings for surface elements

To Operate the Surface Elements:

CAUTION

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The indicator light will turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned off.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant or coil surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure 6). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Surface Cooking Tips:

• For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
• The Cooktop indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

Oven Vent Location (some models)

The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven vent. Never close off the openings with aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

The Cooling Fan (some models)

The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled through the vents between the oven door and the control panel as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7: Cooling fan location

WARNING

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

CAUTION

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.

Figure 14: Baking with a single rack

If you choose to use a single rack while cooking, then radiant baking is preferred.

IMPORTANT

For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the recommended bake function for best results for batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads.

• For best results when baking with one oven rack, place racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 13).
• When baking using one oven rack, position bakeware as shown in Figure 14. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

NOTE

The single rack baking image is correct, but it's also for presentation purposes. You may also bake with the left pan in the front and the right pan in the back. Either position for either pan bakes correctly.

Multi-Rack Baking

Figure 15: Baking with multiple levels & racks

If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking, then Convection baking is preferred.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 3 (Figure 13) and place pans as shown in Figure 15.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

IMPORTANT

When baking using two oven racks, the pans on each rack must be swapped half way through the cook time for best results.

General Baking Tips:

• Preheat the oven 8-10 minutes before baking items like cookies, biscuits, cakes, and breads.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven.
• Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require reducing oven temperature.

Setting Broil

Use to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Position the rack as suggested in Table 3.

NOTE

Keep the oven door closed when broiling. The escaping heat could damage appliance knobs and controls.

To set broil:

1. Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool. Turn the oven mode knob to the broil position (Figure 11).
2. Turn the oven temp knob to the desired temperature position (Figure 12). For optimum results, preheat broil for 2-to-5 minutes before adding food.
3. Place the insert on the broil pan (if equipped), then place the food on the broil pan insert (if using a broiler pan and insert).
4. Place the broiler pan and insert on the oven rack. Center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Broil on one side until food is browned. Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food. Turn and broil food on the second side.
5. To cancel the broiling function, turn the oven mode and oven temp knobs to the OFF positions.

WARNING

Should an oven fire occur, keep oven door closed and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

The broiler pan and the insert allow grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.

CAUTION

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

aThe U.S. Department of Agriculture states, "Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F.

Setting Convection Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 17). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan will bake faster and more evenly with the convection feature. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase bake time for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.

Benefits of Convection Bake:

• Superior multiple oven rack performance.
- Foods bake more evenly.
- Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.

IMPORTANT

When using convection bake, decrease your normal cooking times. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked.

CAUTION

Be aware that the convection fan will continue to run after the door is opened. This is normal. Use caution when reaching inside of the oven. Hot air will be pushed out of the appliance.

Figure 17: Air movement using convection

To set convection bake:

CAUTION

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom. To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake foods in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.

1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.
2. Allow oven to preheat the oven for 8-to-10 minutes before baking. Preheating is not necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles, or broiling most foods.
3. Turn the oven mode knob to the conv bake position (Figure 18).

Figure 21: Baking with a single rack

IMPORTANT

For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the recommended bake function for best results for batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads.

• For best results when baking with one oven rack, place racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 20).
• When baking using one oven rack, position bakeware as shown in Figure 21. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• The single rack baking image is correct, but it's also for presentation purposes. You may also bake with the left pan in the front and the right pan in the back. Either position for either pan bakes correctly.
• If you choose to use a single rack while cooking, then radiant baking is preferred. If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking, then Convection baking is preferred.

Setting Keep Warm

Keep Warm maintains a temperature of 170^ F ( 77^ C) for keeping oven baked foods at serving temperature until canceled.

Keep warm tips:

• Always start with hot food. Do not use the keep warm feature to heat cold food.
- Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic containers may need higher temperature settings compared to food in regular containers. Avoid repeated openings of the oven, it will allow hot air to escape and the food to cool.
• Cover food to retain moisture.

To set keep warm:

1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.
2. Set the oven mode knob to KEEP WARM.
3. To cancel KEEP WARM, turn the oven mode knob to OFF.

Multi-Rack Baking

Diagram of two trays with four circular containers, labeled 'FRONT' at the bottom (no other text or symbols)

Figure 22: Baking with multiple levels & racks

If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking, then Convection baking is preferred.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 3 (Figure 20) and place pans as shown in Figure 22.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• When using convection, use bakeware with low sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.

IMPORTANT

When baking using two oven racks, the pans on each rack must be swapped half way through the cook time for best results. The top rack should go on the bottom rack and the bottom to the top.

General Baking Tips:

• Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe's recommended temperature by 25^ for best results. Follow the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
• When using Conv Bake, cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
• Fully preheat the oven for 8-10 minutes before baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven.
• Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require reducing oven temperature.

Setting Convection Broil

Use convection broil to cook thicker cuts of meat, fish, and poultry that require direct exposure to radiant heat and the convection fan for optimum browning results. Convection broil gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. It uses the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven.

The convection fan will begin rotating once convection broil has been activated.

Convection Broiling Tips:

• Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
• Always broil or convection broil with the oven door closed.
• For optimum results, preheat the broil element for 2-to-5 minutes before adding food.
• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
• Always use the broiler pan and its insert when broiling, if included. It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high heat of the broil element.
• Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. Do not use the roasting rack when broiling.

- Since convection broil cooks food quickly, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

Ceramic cooktop See "Cooktop Maintenance" on page 28.

Cooktop Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic, or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the bottom; always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop; they may cause it to crack.

Figure 26: Cooktop cleaning

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content 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). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

IMPORTANT

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

WARNING

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under any circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Replacing the Oven Light
