Surface Temperatures
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot,
such as the knobs and oven door.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and
should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper,
or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast
cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed.
The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach
350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your
oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take
longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the
oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above
your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven
door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you
place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds.
Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning

For best results, use the cooktop scraper while the
cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping
the warm cooktop.
Hold the cooktop scraper at approximately a 45°
angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue.
It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to
remove the residue.
Rub the cooktop cleaner onto the cooktop surface with
a cooktop cleaning pad. Some pressure is needed to
remove stubborn stains.
Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before
proceeding to Step 3.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn
or burned-on stains.
