Double Element (some models)
The dual element consists of two (a small and a large) radi-
ant element within the same heating area. Either the small
element, or both elemetns may be selected for use.
Triple Element (some models)
The triple element consists of three (small, medium and
large) radiant ribbon elements within the same heating
area. Either the small element, the small and medium
element or all three elements may be selected for use, in
order to better match the size of cookware.
Power Element (some models)
This element is used fro faster time to boil and low simmer,
all in one element. There are two elements that are the full
size of the cooking zone.
Warming Zone
The warming element consists of one radiant element. The
temperature is preset to the warming temperature set by
the oven control panel.
Retained Heat
The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after
the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat
may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a
short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when
working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is
still hot.
Temperature Limiter
Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect
the glass cooking surface from extreme high temperatures.
The limiters will operate automatically by cycling the
element off regardless of the cook setting.
Although cycling is normal, any one of the following
conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to cycle on
and off more than usual:
• The base of the pan is not making full contact with the
heating surface (due to a warped or uneven base).
• The pan is too small for the element.
• The pan has boiled dry.
• The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the
heat.
Hot Surface Indicator
The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the
cooking surface is too hot to touch. If a hot surface light is
on, use caution when working or cleaning around the
cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
Oven Features
Cooling Fan
The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can
be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it
is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after
the oven is off.
Convection Fan
The convection fan operates during any convection mode.
When the oven is operating in the convection mode, the fan
will turn off automatically when the door is opened. The
convection fan does run during self-clean, although not at
the beginning of the mode. May run during self clean.
Note: On some models, the convection fan also runs
during preheat for the bake mode.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a
result the element is protected from damage and spills.
Note:
Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located at the top back of the range..
Warm air may be released from the vent before, during and
after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the
vent and condensation may collect in this area. This area
may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the
vent as it is important for air circulation.
Automatic Shutoff
The oven will automatically shut off after 24 hours.
Self-Cleaning
The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates
the manual labor involved with cleaning your oven.
Indicators and Other Features
Default Settings - The cooking modes automatically select
the default temperature. These can be changed when a
different one is needed.
9 CAUTION
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line
any part of an appliance, especially soven bottom.
Installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
