FEATURE GUIDEThis manual covers several models. Your model may have some or all of the items listed. Refer to this manual or the Frequently Asked WARNING: COOKTOP USEIMPORTANT: When cooktop is in use, the Self-Cleaning cycle will be disabled. When the Self-Cleaning cycle is in use, the cooktop will be locked. Ceramic Glass (on some models):The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is ON. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is ON. This is normal operation. It will also randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on High, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures. 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. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section 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.
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the display panel. When any cooktop element on the console panel is turned on, the Cooktop On indicator light will glow. Hot Surface Indicator LightOn ceramic glass models, the Hot Surface indicator light is located on the display panel. Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2″ (1.3 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)The Dual Zone Cooking Element offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer elements and is recommended for larger size cookware.
The Melt cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide range of
settings between High and Melt. The High heat option can be used to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. The lowest setting can be used to prepare sauces and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt element. To reduce the power setting to Melt, press the “down” arrow for the Melt element until “Melt” appears in the display. CookwareIMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area,
element, or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics. COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS Aluminum
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2″ (13 mm) outside the area. Home CanningCanning can be performed on a glass smooth-top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
OVEN USEOdors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled. Electronic Oven ControlsControl DisplayThe display will flash when powered up or after a power loss. Press CANCEL to clear. When oven is not in use, the time of day is displayed.

Demo ModeIMPORTANT: This feature is intended for use on the sales floor with 120 V power connection and permits the control features to be demonstrated without heating elements turning on. If this feature is activated, the oven will not
work. Tones are audible signals, indicating the following: Basic FunctionsOne Tone
Three Tones
Four Tones
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.
Sabbath Mode (on some models)The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting until turned off. A Timed Bake can also be set to keep the oven on for only part of the Sabbath. The Oven Control Lockout feature (if present) will be disabled during the Sabbath mode. After the Sabbath mode is set, no tones will sound, the display will not show the temperature, the Kitchen Timer mode will be canceled (if active), and only the following keypads will function:
turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately. When power is restored after a power failure, the
oven will return to Sabbath mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake elements off until the Cancel keypad is pressed. Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time cancels the cooking cycle and returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath compliant). Before entering the Sabbath mode, it must be decided if the oven light is to be ON or OFF for the entire Sabbath mode period. If the light is ON when entering Sabbath mode, it will remain ON for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. If
the light is OFF when entering Sabbath mode, it will remain OFF for the entire time Sabbath mode is in use. Opening the oven door or pressing the Light keypad will not affect the oven light once Sabbath mode has been entered.
Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time cancels the cooking cycle and returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath compliant). To Set a Timed Bake Using Sabbath Mode (on some models):
When the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and the indicator lights will turn off, indicating the end of the cycle. Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time cancels the cooking cycle and returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath mode compliant). To Set a Delayed Timed Bake Using Sabbath Mode (on some models):WARNING:
When the start time is reached the Bake, On, and Cook Time indicator lights will automatically turn on. When the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and the indicator lights will turn off, indicating the end of the cycle. Keep WarmWARNING: NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until
the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down. The Keep Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving temperature. To Use:
NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad to the desired temperature and then START. Aluminum FoilIMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. Positioning Racks and BakewareIMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Bakeware:To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2″ (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration as a guide. Rack PositionsRack 5: Toasting bread or broiling thin,
non-fatty foods 2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4. Baking Layer Cakes on 2 RacksFor best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 4 for baking. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Oven VentThe oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent. Baking and RoastingNOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down. ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management SystemThe ACCUBAKE® system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and Bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short
intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. When Start is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display. BroilingNOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed
Cook functions, will continue to count down. Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more
information.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. Cook TimeTo Set a Timed Cook:
