Keep Warm Element  
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to  
change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass  
cools, it will return to its original color.  
WARNING  
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it  
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more  
information, see General Cleaningsection.  
Food Poisoning Hazard  
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before  
or after cooking.  
I
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a  
heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.  
I
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.  
Doing so can result in food poisoning or  
sickness.  
I
I
Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface  
indicator light goes off. If not wiped up while warm, surface  
pitting can occur.  
Use the Keep Warm Element to keep cooked foods warm. One  
hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food  
quality.  
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 use it to heat cold foods.  
The Keep Warm Element can be used alone or when any of the  
other surface cooking areas are being used, and can be set from  
MIN to MAX for different levels of heating.  
I
I
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers  
on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot  
be removed completely.  
The Keep Warm Element area will not glow red when cycling on.  
However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Keep Warm  
Element area is too hot to touch.  
Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum  
foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.  
I
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and  
cooktop use.  
I
I
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.  
I
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming  
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture  
to escape.  
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking  
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm)  
outside the area.  
I
I
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.  
Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

I
I
I
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.  
To Use:  
1. Push in and turn KEEP WARM knob to desired setting.  
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.  
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler  
across the bottom of the cookware. While rotating 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.

I
I
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry  
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits  
when heated.  
To Replace:  
1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element  
receptacle.  
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.  
Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass)  
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface  
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking  
area(s) is turned off.  
2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push  
HOT SURFACE  
coil element terminal into the receptacle.  
3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it  
will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the  
receptacle.  
Coil Elements and  
Burner Bowls  
(on some models)  
Lift-up Cooktop  
(on some models)  
The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath.  
Be careful not to drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the  
finish and the cooktop frame. For more information, see the  
General Cleaningsection.  
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 in. (2.5 cm) over the  
coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce  
excess heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more  
information, see the General Cleaningsection.  
To Lift:  
1. Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock  
into place.  
Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls,  
make sure they are cool and the control knobs are off.  
To Remove:  
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then  
lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.  
To Replace:  
1. Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support  
rods back to unlock them.  
2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.  
2. Slowly lower the cooktop into place.  
3. Lift out the burner bowl.

Home Canning  
Cookware  
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface  
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.  
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.  
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
cooking area, element or surface burner.  
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-  
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy  
thickness.  
I
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking  
area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in.  
(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.  
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper  
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used  
as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.  
I
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements  
or surface burners at the same time.  
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is  
transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has  
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,  
aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the  
properties of aluminum.  
I
I
On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.  
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit  
is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element  
will be shortened. See Assistance or Servicefor ordering  
instructions.  
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material  
characteristics.

Preheating  
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat  
conditioning. PrEand the countdown time will appear on the  
display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will  
sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as  
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for  
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven  
temperature to differ due to the cycling of the elements.  
CHOICE BAKEFunction  
1. Oven Vent (coil element model)  
The CHOICE BAKEfunction eliminates the top heat during  
oven cooking. It is ideal for baking pies, casseroles and breads,  
and for roasting foods that require longer and slower cook times  
such as poultry and roasts.  
1
Similar to the baking and roasting function, the bake elements or  
burners cycle on and off at intervals during CHOICE BAKE™  
fuction. However, the cycle duration for the broil element is much  
shorter during CHOICE BAKEcycle, allowing less top  
browning of foods and more customized control for your baking  
results.  
To Use:  
1. Press CHOICE BAKEfunction.  
1. Oven Vent (ceramic glass model)  
Press the TEMP upor downarrow pad to set a  
temperature other that 350°F (175°C) in five degree amounts.  
The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (80°C  
and 260°C).  
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and  
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air  
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set  
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the  
oven vent.  
2. Press START.  
The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does  
not need to be pressed again.  
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven  
is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than 1 in.  
(2.5 cm) over the element.  
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.  
To use the CHOICE BAKEfunction during a regular BAKE cycle  
to achieve less top browning, press CHOICE BAKEcontrol, set  
the desired temperature and press START.  
Baking and Roasting  
ACCUBAKE® DUO SYSTEMTemperature Management  
Broiling  
The ACCUBAKE® DUO SYSTEMelectronically regulates the  
oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain the most  
uniform temperature control.  
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the  
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control  
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the  
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish  
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.  
Two temperature sensors will independently control the bake and  
broil elements for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil  
elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow  
red when cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is  
automatically activated when the oven is in use.  
I
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is  
designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.  
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the  
Positioning Racks and Bakewaresection. When roasting, it is  
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to  
end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.  
I
For proper draining, do not cover the broiler grid with foil. The  
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier  
cleaning.  
I
I
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on  
the edges to prevent curling.  
To Bake or Roast:  
1. Press BAKE.  
Pull out oven rack to the stop position before turning or  
removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of  
juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to  
be turned.  
Press TEMP upor downarrow pad to set a temperature  
other than 350°F (175°C) in five degree amounts. The bake  
range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (80°C and  
260°C).  
2. Press START.  
The temperature can be changed after this step.  
START does not need to be pressed again.

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing  
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated  
oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Timed Cooking  
Sequence Programming  
(on some models)  
Sequence Programming allows you to program at one time up to  
four cook functions, and can be used at the same time with other  
oven functions, such as the Timer and Warming Drawer.  
WARNING  
Food Poisoning Hazard  
Sequence Programming takes precedence over any non-  
sequenced cook function. For example, if an un-timed Bake  
function is in process and a sequence program is started, the  
un-timed Bake function will be canceled, and the program  
sequence will start.  
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour  
before or after cooking.  
Doing so can result in food poisoning or  
sickness.  
All steps of a sequenced program, except for the last step, must  
be programmed with a stop time. If a stop time is not entered for  
a step in the sequence program, and the FIRST/NEXT STEP pad  
is pressed, three tones will sound.  
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain  
time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off  
automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as  
breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.

How the Cycle Works  
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the  
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and  
popping sounds.  
RANGE CARE  
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil  
to a powdery ash.  
Self-Cleaning Cycle  
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the  
time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30  
minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours  
30 minutes for average to heavy soil.  
(on some models)  
WARNING  
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp  
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven  
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the  
inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in  
the glass breaking.  
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.  
To Self-Clean:  
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or  
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.  
Burn Hazard  
Do not touch the oven during the  
Self-Cleaning cycle.  
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.  
2. Press the HR and MIN upor downarrow pad to set a  
clean time other than 3 hour 30 minutes. The clean time can
