Oven Control Functions
Note: The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven.
Changing the Temperature Display Mode
The electronic oven control temperature display mode was factory preset to display (Fahrenheit) °F oven tempertaures. Note: Oven cooking temperatures may be set from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C).
To change the Temperature Display Mode to °C (Celsius) or from °C to °F (do not use Bake or Broil while changing the Temperature Display Mode):

desired, press the key pad before the oven control beeps once to cancel the process.
5.The control will beep once. The display will then return to the time of day with any temperature display mode change you may have requested.
Setting Surface Controls
Fig. 1
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the element.
To Operate Radiant Surface Elements
1.Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2.Push in & turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (See Fig.1). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting & then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide & adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
3.When cooking is completed, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware. Note: the Element ON indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at the indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position & will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
