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 smoothtop 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 USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few 

times or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT:

 The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to 

the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to 

certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and 

well-ventilated room. 

NOTE:

 The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is 

opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating 

elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, 

including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will 

continue to count down.

Press OFF/CANCEL, OFF/CANCEL, the Temp/Time 

“up” arrow keypad, TIMER SET•OFF. Repeat to change back and 

end Demo mode.

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 to 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.
