Oven Control Functions Note: The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven. Changing the Temperature Display Mode (some models) The electronic oven control temperature display mode was factory preset to display (Fahrenheit) °F oven tempertaures. Note: Oven cooking temperatures may be set from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). To change the Temperature Display Mode to °C (Celsius) or from °C to °F (do not use Bake or Broil while changing the Temperature Display Mode): 1. Press & hold the key pad for 6-8 seconds until F or C appears in the display. Note: At this time the display will show the current Temperature Display Mode whether set for F or C . 2. Press the key pad once to choose the (Fahrenheit) °F mode; or press the key pad once to choose the (Celsius) °C mode. 3. After 5 seconds, the display will flash. To accept the change, wait 5 more seconds until the oven control beeps once. To complete the change skip step 4 below, OR; 4. If at any time during the process of changing the Temperature Display Mode (F or C ) you decide the change is not desired, press the key pad before the oven control beeps once to cancel the process. 5. The control will beep once. The display will then return to the time of day with any temperature display mode change you may have requested. Setting Surface Controls To Operate Radiant Surface Elements Fig. 1 Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently. 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element. 2. Push in & turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (See Fig.1). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting & 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 & adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. 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. 3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware. Note: the Element ON indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at the indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position & will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. Suggested Surface Control Settings The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight metal pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the element. Surface Control Settings Setting Type of Cooking HIGH (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling MEDIUM HIGH (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry MEDIUM (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces & gravies, steam vegetables MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew LOW (LO - 1) Keep warm, melt, simmer. 6
