Induction Basics
Use less energy while you cook; induction technology heats the pan directly for less heat loss.
CHOOSE THE CORRECT COOKWARE
For induction heating to work, cookware needs to be compatible with the
cooking zones. Cookware bottoms should be flat, level, and clean.
Look for an induction symbol on the bottom of pots and pans.
A magnet will
stick firmly to the cookware if it’s induction compatible.
CHOOSE THE CORRECT COOKING ZONE
The markings on the cooking zone show the minimum and maximum pan size.
A flashing display indicates the zone isn’t sensing the pan. Make sure the
cookware is centered on the cooking zone and not too small for the zone you’re
using.
For best results, use cookware
that matches the size of the cooking zone.
Start Cooking
Choose your cooking zone and push in and turn the Cooktop Cooking Zone knob to
get started.
The Cooktop Cooking Zone knobs will show:
-

Oven Modes
DELAY allows a delayed starting time only for Bake, Conv Bake, Conv Roast and
Steam Clean.
BROIL is for broiling and grilling foods under direct, high heat.
STEAM CLEAN is a chemical-free method to clean the oven. Pour 13.5 fl. oz. of
water in the bottom of the oven to soften the residue.
BAKE surrounds food with gentle, rising heat to cook delicate foods.
CONV BAKE uses a fan to circulate heat for quick and even baking, best used
when baking with multiple racks.
CONV ROAST is recommended to gently brown meats and seal in the juices.
PROOF creates the perfect environment to activate yeast when baking homemade
bread or pizza dough.
WARM is used to keep cooked foods at serving temperature (160°F / 70°C to
200°F / 90°C) in the oven.
TEMP PROBE monitors the internal temperature of large cuts of meat with a
probe. An alert will sound once the desired set target temperature is reached.
Turn the OVEN MODE knob to select the oven mode or function.
START flashes in the upper right corner of the display to indicate you can
start the selected oven mode.
Once a function is started or when setting the temperature and timing
functions the word START disappears.

Care and Cleaning
Protect your range by quickly cleaning up spills when they happen.
- Clean with a soft cloth, mild dish detergent, and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water.
- Avoid spraying large amounts of water or cleaners directly on the oven control and display area. Excess moisture on the control area may cause damage.
- Avoid using scouring pads or paper towels – they will damage the finish.
Always refer to your Use & Care Manual for more tips and instructions.
? FAQs
-
Why does my induction cooktop make noises while I’m cooking?
On induction cooktops, cookware can sometimes vibrate slightly, causing a slight buzzing noise. These sounds are normal. -
Why does my oven make noises when I’m cooking?
Temperature changes during preheating and cool-down can make parts of the range expand and contract. The controls click as they work to create even cooking temperatures. Different fans run to heat up the oven or cool down different parts of oven, even when it’s off. These sounds are normal. -
Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil setting?
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Broil with the oven door closed, and watch food to prevent burning. -
This oven doesn’t work like my old one. Is this normal?
As you get used to your induction range, you may need to test and adjust cooking times and temperatures for your recipes. Your Use & Care Manual has rack position and bakeware recommendations to help you get the best baking results.
