Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy
efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the
cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not
extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.
Home Canning
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface
or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods,
alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between
batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
�
Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend
more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or
element.
�
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at
the same time.
�
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to
avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.
�
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.

Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide
consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any
point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow to
react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate
reading due to this cycling.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can
be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be
changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1.
Press
and
hold
the
Temp/Time
“down”
arrow
keypad
for
5
seconds
until
the
oven
display
shows
the
current
setting,
for
example
“0°F
CAL”
or
“00”.
2.
Press
the
Temp/Time
“up”
or
“down”
arrow
keypad
to
increase
or
decrease
the
temperature
in
5°F
(3°C)
amounts.
The
adjustment
can
be
set
between
30°F
(18°C)
and
-30°F
(-18°C).
3.
Press
START.
Sabbath Mode (on some models)
The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting
until turned off.
A Timed Bake can also be set to keep the oven on for only part of
the Sabbath. The Oven Control Lockout feature (if present) will be
disabled during the Sabbath mode.
After the Sabbath mode is set, no tones will sound, the display will
not show the temperature, the Kitchen Timer mode will be
canceled (if active), and only the following keypads will function:
�
Temp/Time “up” and “down” arrow keypads
�
Cance
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not
turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off
immediately.
When power is restored after a power failure, the oven will return
to Sabbath mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake
elements off until the Cancel keypad is pressed.
Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time cancels the cooking cycle
and returns the oven to the normal cooking mode (not Sabbath
compliant).
