IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE APPLIANCE

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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

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

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

Cooking Results
Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.

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

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Using Proper Cookware
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.

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

• 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.

Figure 2: Proper cookware

• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than cooking area marked on cooktop by more than one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than the heating area marked on cooktop.

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.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements below a smooth glass surface. The designs on the ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the surface elements underneath. Always match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed cookware should be used.

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.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use, and their settings will all 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 Radiant Surface Elements
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. For efficient cooking, turn the element off several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more elements are turned on.

Figure 3: On indicator light

A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after the burner is turned off until the surface has cooled to a safe temperature.

Figure 4: Hot surface indicator light

Types of ceramic cooktop elements
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size and type of element underneath. The elements on your cooktop depend on the model.

• A single radiant element has one circle.
• A dual radiant element (some models) has two circles. The dual radiant element may be set using only the smaller inner element or both inner and outer elements may be set to heat together for a larger surface.
• A triple radiant element (some models) has three circles. The element may be set using only the inner element, the inner and middle elements, or all three elements together.
• Dual and triple elements allow more flexibility with the size of cookware.

Figure 5: Single, double, and triple elements

• A warm zone element (some models) has one small circle. It is used to keep food warm after cooking. The keep warm element is not designed to cook food.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Single radiant surface elements
To operate the single radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction (Figure 6) to the desired setting (refer to the “Suggested radiant surface element settings” in Table 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed (see Figure 6).

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.

Suggested radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in Table 1 below are based on cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Figure 6: Single element knob

Dual radiant surface elements
Symbols on the back guard will help choose which portion of the dual radiant element to set. The symbol indicates a setting for the inner element only. The symbol indicates a setting for both inner and outer elements.

To operate a dual radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to begin heating both the inner and outer elements. If only the inner element is needed for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counter-clockwise (see Figure 7).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

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.

You may switch from either single or dual element setting at any time during cooking. See “Suggested radiant surface element settings” on page 15.

Figure 7: Dual element knob settings

Triple Surface Radiant Element
Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which element of the triple radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates that only the inner element will heat. The symbol indicates that the inner and middle elements will heat. The symbol indicates that the inner, middle and outer elements will heat (Figure 8).You may switch the element setting at any time during cooking.

To Operate the Triple Surface Element

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the triple surface element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to the inner element symbol for smaller cookware or to the inner and middle element symbol for average cookware or to the inner, middle, and outer element symbol for large cookware (Figure 8). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

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.

You may switch to the single, dual, or triple element setting at any time during cooking. See “Suggested radiant surface element settings” on page 15.

Figure 8: Triple element knob settings

Warm Zone

Use the Warm Zone feature to keep cooked foods hot. The Warm Zone key is located on the oven control panel just below the OFF key. It controls the Warm Zone (the middle element on the back row of the radiant cooktop).

Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone. All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only dishware, utensils, and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.

Setting the Warm Zone control:

1. Press the Warm Zone key twice (2X) to turn the Warm Zone on. WARM ZONE will appear in the display. The temperature is preset to the optimal heating level for keeping cooked foods ready for serving.
2. When ready to serve, press the Warm Zone key once to turn OFF. WARM ZONE will disappear from the display

Home Canning
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 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. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• 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 setting 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.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block 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.

Figure 9: Oven vent

Baking tips

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads.
• Use the convection bake function for best results when baking cookies on multiple racks.
• Bake is the best function to use for baking cakes.
• For best results when baking layer cakes using two oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 5 and place pans as shown in Figure 19.
• When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes, biscuits, or muffins use rack position 3.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
• Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.

To set Bake for (default) oven temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Bake.
2. 350° will appear in the display.
3. Press OK/START.

To cancel Bake at any time, press OFF.

Figure 19: Pan placement

Important: The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If you wish to bake for a longer period, see “Changing between continuous bake setting or 12 hour energy saving” on page 21 for detailed information.

Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air flows around the food from all sides.

Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking.
• Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads.
• When baking cakes using two oven racks place bakeware in positions 3 and 5 and place bakeware as shown in Figure 21.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware to allow for proper air circulation.
• When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes, biscuits or muffins, use rack position 3.
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food.
• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking, use Conv Convert to reduce oven temperature from the recipe’s recommended oven temperature.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
• Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.

To set convection bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Conv Bake.
2. Conv Bake and 350° will appear in the display.
3. Press OK/START. The convection fan will turn on and stay on during the cooking process.
4. To cancel convection bake at any time, press OFF.

Setting Broil
Use the broil function to cook foods that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the flames. Broil may be set with Delay Start.

Broil is preset to 550°F and may be set to any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Important: Broiler pans and inserts allow the grease to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil – the exposed grease could ignite.

Important: OPEN DOOR BROIL SHUTOFF: If the oven door is left open during Broil for more than 3 minutes an alarm will sound to notify the user to close the oven door. If the door is not closed the oven will turn off within 30 seconds of the open door alarm.

To set broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.
2. Press Broil. Broil with oven door closed.
3. Position bakeware in oven.
4. Press OK/START. To adjust the broil temperature, press Broil again and then enter the new temperature using the number keys. Press OK/START.

Note: If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com.

Important notes:

• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
• Broil with oven door closed. If broiling with door open, an alarm will sound alerting you to close the door. If left open, the Broil function will be canceled.
• For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help avoid spatter and reduce smoking.
• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
• If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com.

Table 2: Broil Suggestions

* The 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) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC).

NOTE: Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from element. Always watch foods carefully to prevent burning.

Convection Roast
Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside

Convection Roast may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of Convection Roasting:

• Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
• No special pans or bakeware required.
• Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast chart for additional information.

To set Convection Roast:

1. Place the insert on broiler pan. Place meat (fat side up) on insert.
2. Make sure the insert is securely seated on top of the broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.
3. Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.
4. Close the oven door.
5. Press Conv Roast.
6. Enter desired temperature using numeric keys.
7. Press OK/START.
8. When cooking is completed or to cancel convection roast press OFF.

Figure 23: Convection roasting on lower oven racks

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
• Smaller roasts and poultry should be cooked using rack position 2 or 3.
• Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommendations for additional information.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting – covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.
• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.

Table 3: Convection roasting temperature and time recommendations* The 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) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC)** Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to prevent over browning and drying of the skin.

Air Fry
The Air Fry feature works best for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods and can be programmed for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F.

Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation quantity, time, and temperature.

Important:

• Air Fry is designed for baking on a single oven rack. Food should be arranged in single layers on a pan.
• When using Air Fry, use dark bakeware with low or no sides and place food on rack position 4 for best results.
• Leave oven light off when baking.
• Food may need to be removed early and should be checked at minimum recommended bake time. However, frozen dense foods and items with cook times less than 15 minutes may require additional time.

Setting the Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays) 

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k.org.

This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake is the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed for the oven and Delay Start options (if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are canceled. If any of the cooking features are canceled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two presses of the OK/START key. This will insure the oven remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside of its temperature range.

If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again..

Important:

• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. The following keys will function correctly when the Sabbath feature is active: 0-9 number keypad, Bake, OK/START, and OFF. All other keys should not be used once the Sabbath feature is active.
• You may change the oven temperature once baking has started. Press Bake, use the numeric keypad to enter the oven temperature change (170°F to 550F°), and press OK/START (for Jewish Holidays only).
• Remember that the oven control will no longer provide audible tones or display any further changes when the Sabbath feature is active.
• The oven will remain on until canceled and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.
• If a delay start time longer than 11 hours and 59 minutes is desired, set the oven control for the 24 hour day display mode setting. See “Setting 12 Hour or 24 Hour display mode” on page 21 for more information.

To program oven to Bake with default oven temperature of 350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day.
2. Arrange oven racks, place bakeware in oven, and close oven door. Press Bake.
3. Note: If Delay Start is desired enter the time at this point. See “Setting Delay Start” on page 26 for detailed instructions.
4. Press OK/START.
5. Press and hold Self Clean and Steam Clean simultaneously for about 3 seconds to set the Sabbath feature. Once the feature is set, SAb will appear in the display indicating the oven is properly set for the Sabbath feature (Figure 25).

Should you experience a power failure or interruption, the oven will shut-off. When power is restored the oven will not turn back on automatically. The oven will remember that it is set for the Sabbath, and the oven display will show the message SF for Sabbath failure (Figure 26).

Figure 26: Display showing Sabbath failure

The food may be safely removed from the oven while still in the Sabbath feature, however the oven cannot be turned back on until after the Sabbath/Holidays. After the Sabbath observance turn off the Sabbath feature.

Press and hold both Self Clean and Steam Clean keys for at least 3 seconds simultaneously to turn the Sabbath feature off. SF will disappear from the display, and the oven may be used with all normal functions.

Keep Warm
Keep Warm should only be used with foods that are fully cooked and at serving temperatures. Keep Warm will keep foods warm and ready for serving at 170° F (77°C) until canceled.

To set Keep Warm:

1. If needed, arrange oven racks and place cooked food in oven.
2. Press Keep Warm: WARM will appear in the display. (If no other keys are touched within 25 seconds the request for Warm will clear.)
3. Press OK/START. Warm will automatically turn on and remain on until cancelled.

Note: To turn Warm off at any time, press OFF.

Self Clean
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. Self Clean can be programmed for times between 2 and 4 hours.

Important: Before starting self clean read all following caution and important statements before starting a self clean cycle.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.
• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.
• Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom (Figure 27). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.
• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie fillings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and compromise the performance of the oven. Figure 27: Areas to clean and areas to avoid (gasket)
• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors.
• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door.
• When the clean time finishes, the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be able to open the oven door.

Setting Self Clean
To set self clean:

1. Be sure the oven is empty and all oven racks are removed. Remove all items from the oven. Be sure oven door is completely closed.
2. Press Self Clean. The default 3 hour clean time will appear in the display. You may accept the 3 hour clean time or choose a different clean duration by entering any time between 2 and 4 hours clean time by entering the time using the numeric keys.
3. Press OK/START. The warning to REMOVE RACKS will flash in the display to remind you that oven racks should be removed before a self clean.
4. Press OK/START to activate self clean.
5. The warning will end and the motor door lock will begin locking the oven door and Self Clean will start.

Important: Do not open the oven door while the lock motor is running or when any locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is completely locked in about 15 seconds. Once the oven door has locked, CLEAN will appear in the display indicating self clean has started.

Do not force the oven door open when self-clean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking system. Use caution when opening the door after self-clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.

When self clean is finished:

1. CLEAN message will turn off, and Hot will appear in display window.
2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed, the oven door may be opened.
3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Setting Delay Start Self Clean

To start a delay self clean with default clean time of 3 hours and a start time of 9:00 o’clock:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the oven is empty, and all oven racks are removed. Be sure oven door is completely closed.
2. Press Self Clean
3. Press Delay Start.
4. Using numeric keypad, enter 9 0 0.
5. Press OK/START to accept.

If it becomes necessary to stop self clean when active:

1. Press OFF.

Important: If self clean has heated the oven to a high temperature, allow enough time for the oven to cool. Before restarting self clean, be sure to read important notes below.

Important note:

• If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display mode, the delay start for a self clean can only be programmed to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes after the time showing in the display (be sure to set the clock to current time before programming a Delay Start). To set a delay start Self Clean to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) after the time of setting, be sure to first set the control in the 24 Hr display mode.
• If self clean was active and then interrupted by a power failure or canceled before the oven was thoroughly cleaned, it may be necessary to run another self clean cycle.
• If the oven temperature was high enough when self clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow another self clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.

Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature offers a chemical free and time saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of small and light soils. For heavier baked on soils use the Self Clean feature.

Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam Clean. If the oven temperature is above room temperature a triple beep will be heard and the function will not start. Steam Clean produces best results when started with a cool oven

To set a Steam Clean cycle:

1. Remove all racks and oven accessories.
2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven bottom.
3. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom.(Figure 28) Close oven door.Figure 28: Add 1 cup of tap water
4. Press Steam Clean.
5. Press OK/START. St Cn will appear in the display.
6. To see the time remaining in the Steam Clean cycle press the Steam Clean key once. Do not open the door during this time. If door is open while in Steam Clean for more than 4 minutes an open door alarm will sound.
7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will sound and the END message will show in the display. Press OFF to return to the clock.
8. Take care opening the door when the steam clean is finished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the way of escaping vapor.
9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door gasket (Figure 29). Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning cavity.
10. To cancel Steam Clean at any time press OFF.

Figure 29: Clean around the oven door gasket

Important: Opening oven door during Steam Clean cycle prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean. If the door is left open once Steam Clean starts, an alarm will sound alerting you to close the door.

• For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom.
• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill while wiping out.
• A non abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads with water before use.
• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time.
• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.
• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water.
• Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delay start.
• If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self Clean. See “Self Clean” on page 34.

Restoring Factory Default Settings
Your appliance was set with predetermined (default) oven control settings. Over time, users may have made changes to these settings. The following options may have been modified since the appliance was new:

• 12 or 24 hr display mode

CARE AND CLEANING

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.

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 aluminum, cast iron, or copper bottomed 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 31: Cooktop care

Cooktop Cleaning

For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff the surface clean.
