Cooktop Controls WARNING Fire Hazard Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire. The control knobs can be set anywhere between HI and LO. Push in and turn to setting. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Dual Cooking Zone (on some models) A. Single size (6" [15.24 cm]) B. Dual size (9" [22.86 cm]) The Dual Cooking Zone offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
Lift-up Cooktop (on some models) The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath. Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and the cooktop frame. For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section. To Lift: Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into place.
Off/Cancel The OFF/CANCEL pad stops any function except the Clock, Timer, Control Lock or Warm Drawer (on some models). Clock On some models, this is a 12-hour clock that shows a.m. and p.m. To Set: Before setting, make sure the oven and Timer are off. 1.
Control Lock The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent unintended use of the oven. When the control is locked, only the CLOCK SET, OVEN LIGHT (on some models) and TIMER pads will function. To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the oven and Timer are off.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain finish. RACKS NOTES: Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not position racks with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level.
Bakeware The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

Styles 2 & 3 - Electronic Oven Controls After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning. “PrE” and the time countdown will appear on the display (on some models). When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.
Convection Cooking (Style 1 electronic oven control) In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.
WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. 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.
To Set a Delayed Timed Cook: Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See “Clock” section. 1. Press BAKE. 2. Set the temperature (optional). 3. Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to enter a temperature other than the one displayed.
To Modify Sequence Programming: 1. Press DELETE STEP. The last step of the sequence will be canceled, and the step prior to the canceled sequence will show on the display for either review or modification. If the programmed sequence has not been started, see “To Program Steps 2, 3 and 4 of the Sequence”...
