BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Air circulation in the oven For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food. Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1). For best results when using a single oven flat rack, place cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2). BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Using the cooktop - radiant and induction The hybrid cooktop offers two different cooking methods; radiant heating elements on the left-hand side (Fig. 3) and induction cooking zones on the right-hand side (Fig. 4). Whenever using the cooktop it is very important to remember the differences between radiant and induction types of cooking. The cookware you use and cooking results will be different depending on the side of the cooktop you choose when surface cooking or heating liquids. IMPORTANT The graphics provided on the ceramic cooktop outlines the areas to place cookware for the radiant elements and the induction cooking zones. Radiant element cooking - Cookware will absorb the heat that radiates from the elements located underneath the cooktop glass. Cooking utensils manufactured for use with ceramic radiant cooktops are available in many styles and types of base materials. Induction zone cooking - Heats cookware directly. Induction cooking works only with cookware made of a magnetic base material, such as cast-iron or in most stainless steel pans. Remember that induction cooking will initially heat the cooking utensil very quickly. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 - Radiant heating elements Fig. 4 - Induction cooking zones 10
