KEYPAD START TIME (on some models) FEATURE Delayed start COOK TIME (on some models) Timed cooking SELF CLEAN (on some models) CONTROL LOCK Self-Cleaning cycle Oven control lockout INSTRUCTIONS The Start Time keypad is used to enter the starting time for an oven function with a delayed start. Start Time should not be used for foods such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly. To set a Timed Cook or a Delayed Timed Cook, see "Cook Time" section. 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 Timed Cook or a Delayed Timed Cook, see "Cook Time" section. See the "Self-Cleaning Cycle" section. 1. Check that the oven is off. 2. Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK keypad for 3 seconds. 3. A tone will sound, and "Loc" will be displayed. 4. Repeat to unlock. Only the CLOCK, OVEN LIGHT and TIMER keypads will function with the controls locked. The cooktop functions are not affected by the oven control lockout. COOKTOP USE 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 to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Push in and turn to setting. REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot. Coil Elements and Burner Bowls (on some models) Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cooktop. They also help catch spills. Cookware should not extend move than ½" (1.3 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color. Ceramic Glass (on some models) The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also randomly cycle off and back on again even while in High to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures. It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color. Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the "Range Care" section for additional information. IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils. ■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop. ■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed. 5
