Cookware
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
ELECTRONIC OVEN
CONTROL
Display
When power is first supplied to the appliance, “PF” will appear on
the display. Press OFF to clear.
Any other time “PF” appears, a power failure has occurred. Press
OFF and reset the Clock if needed.
When the oven is in use, the display shows preheat time and the
temperature and oven setting.
When the oven is not in use, the display shows the time of day.
When using COOK TIME (on some models) the display will show
either hours and minutes, or minutes and seconds.
Start/Enter
The START/ENTER pad begins any oven function except the
Timer. On some models, if pad is not pressed within 5 seconds
after pressing a function pad, the “START?” indicator light will
flash as a reminder. On some models, “START?” will appear on
the display.
If not pressed within 4 to 5 minutes (depending on your model)
after pressing a function pad, the oven display will return to the
time of day mode and the programmed function will be canceled.
Off/Cancel
The OFF pad stops any function except the Clock, Timer and
Control Lock.
The cooling fan may continue to operate after an oven function
has been canceled, depending on oven temperature.
