See the following illustration and chart. Burner Size Small Medium Large Extra-Large Recommended Use Low-heat cooking Melting chocolate or butter Multipurpose burner For large cookware Most powerful burner For large cookware Cookware IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner. Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a wellfitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the grates. Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler. Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware. COOKWARE Aluminum Cast iron Ceramic or Ceramic glass CHARACTERISTICS Heats quickly and evenly. Suitable for all types of cooking. Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks. Heats slowly and evenly. Good for browning and frying. Maintains heat for slow cooking. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks use racks 2 and 5 for baking. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. 5 4 3 2 1 6 Oven Vent A The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent. A. Oven vent Baking and Roasting ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System Preheating The ACCUBAKE® system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan may be cycled on and off for short intervals to provide the best results. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe. When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (35ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected temperature will appear on the display. Factors that have an impact on preheat times are: room temperature, starting oven temperature, and the number of oven racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating your oven to reduce the preheat times. Broiling When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature. Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section for more information. For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the "Accessories" section for more information. NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. 9 Cook Time WARNING To Set a Delayed Timed Cook: Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day.
