Page 10 HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE Your new cooktop has either electric coil surface units or a halogenhadiant glass ceramic cooktop. If you are used to cooking with gas burners or other types of electric cooktops, you will notice some differences when you use electric coils or a halogenhadiant glass ceramic cooktop.
Page 11 General Information About Halogen/Radiant Surface Units The halogen/radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass ceramic surface. The surface units are shown by outlines on the glass. Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with Cook Top Cleaning Creme. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
Page 12: Canning Tips
Observe the Following Points in Canning Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface unit. If your range or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.

Page 16 SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS How to Check Pan Performance Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking performance and cleaning of your cooktop. The correct cookware reduces the temperature of the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of spillovers burning onto the cooktop. You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.

Page 22: Using Your Oven
Oven Shelves The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them. When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.
Page 23 What is Convection? In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, omctinmmommmmmommnonmm~~ m~mo~om cm foods are evenly cooked and bro-wned— often in less time with convection heat.
Page 24: Convection Baking
Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°F. for convection baking. For more specific instructions, follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes. Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested cooking time.
Page 25: Timed Convection Baking
TIMED CONVECTION BAKING How to Convection Time Bake Do not lock the oven door with the latch during timed convection baking. The latch is used for self- cleaning only. Your oven can be set to turn on and off automatically. NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock shows the correct time of day.

Meats cooked in a convection oven are dark brown on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. In most cases, cooking time will be less when using the Convection Roast feature. Sometimes cooking time is reduced by 10 minutes per hour. To make sure the meat is cooked the way you want it, we recommend using the temperature probe provided with the oven.

CONVECTION ROASTING How to Set Your Oven for Convection Roasting When Using the Temperature Probe NOTE: For best results when roasting large turkeys and roasts, we recommend using the probe included in the convection oven.

Do not lock the latch during regular roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Page 35 REGULAR ROASTING WITH THE PROBE Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe A temperature probe has been provided for use in your new oven. This probe is designed to withstand high temperatures. Temperature probes provided with other products, such as those used for microwave ovens, may not be designed to withstand high temperatures.
Page 36 REGULAR ROASTING WITH THE PROBE How to Set the Oven When Using the Temperature Probe The display will flash “PROBE” and the oven control-will signal if the probe is inserted into the outlet, but the oven is not programmed for the probe.
Page 37: Roasting Guide
Questions and Answers Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended if you did not use the probe while cooking. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 Ibs., check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.
Page 38 Do not lock the oven door with the latch during broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking o a minimum.
Page 39 Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should? A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range may be 10W. In these cases, preheat the broil element for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in oven.
Page 40: Broiling Guide
Always use a broiler pan and rack. T’hey are designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. c The oven door should be open to the broil stop position. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
