PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE  
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY  
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful  
exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.  
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumu-  
late on sealing surfaces.  
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and  
that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and  
sealing surfaces.  
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.  
These precautions apply to the Microwave Drawer only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING  
combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable  
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND  
WARNING  
8 Do not use water on grease fires. Smother a flame or  
use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flaming  
grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with  
baking soda or, if available, by a multi-purpose dry  
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement  
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of  
California to publish a list of substances known to the State  
of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm and  
requires businesses to warn customer of potential exposures  
to such substances.  
9 Use only dry potholders - a moist or damp potholder on  
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do  
not let potholders touch hot surfaces, radiant surface  
units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other  
bulky cloth.  
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when it  
is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be low level  
exposure to carbon monoxide, a chemical known to the State  
of California to cause reproductive harm. Exposure can be  
minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors  
during the self-clean cycle, by opening a window and/or door  
in the room where the appliance is located.  
CAUTION  
10  
Do not store items of interest to children  
in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range.  
Children climbing on the range to reach items could  
be seriously injured.  
11 Do not touch the surface units, heating elements or the  
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot  
even though they are dark in color. These surfaces may  
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after  
use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable  
materials contact surface units, heating elements or  
interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient  
time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces include:  
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,  
surfaces near the vent opening, oven door and window  
and area around the door.  
WARNING  
All ranges can tip and injury  
could result. To reduce the risk of tipping of the  
appliance from abnormal usage by excessive  
loading of the oven door, the appliance must  
be secured to wall and floor by installing the  
Anti-Tip device supplied. If it is not, there is  
a possible risk of the range tipping over and  
causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean  
on an open door. Please refer to the Anti-Tip  
device information in the Installation Manual.  
To check if the device is properly installed and engaged, look  
underneath the range with a flashlight to make sure one of  
the rear leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot.  
The Anti-Tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the floor  
when properly engaged. You should check this anytime the  
range has been moved.  
12 Have the installer show you the location of the circuit  
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.  
13 Before performing any service, disconnect the range  
power supply at the household distribution panel by  
removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.  
14 Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the  
door, Microwave Drawer or cooktop. They could  
damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe  
personal injury.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions  
should be followed, including the following:  
15 Teach children not to play with the controls or any other  
part of the range.  
1 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as  
described in this manual.  
16 Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned  
food a safe distance from your range.  
2 Be sure your appliance is properly installed and  
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with  
the provided installation instructions.  
17 Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or  
drapes a safe distance from your range.  
3 Never use appliance for warming or heating the room.  
4 Children should not be left alone or unattended in area  
where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed  
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.  
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS  
1 Use proper pan size — this appliance has different size  
surface units. Select utensils having flat bottoms  
large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.  
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion  
of surface unit heating element to direct contact and  
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship  
of utensils to heating element will also improve  
efficiency.  
5 Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while  
using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items  
stored over the range. Flammable material could be  
ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or  
heating elements and may cause severe burns.  
6 Do not repair or replace any part of appliance unless  
specifically recommended in this manual. All other  
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.  
2 Never leave surface units unattended at high heat  
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers  
that may catch on fire.  
7 Do not store flammable materials in an oven, Microwave  
Drawer or near surface units. Do not store or use  
3 Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
1 Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for  
cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden  
change in temperature.  
2 Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO  
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE  
MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 3.  
4 To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable  
materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with  
utensils, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so  
that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent  
surface units.  
3 This appliance must be properly grounded. See  
Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.  
4 Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with  
the provided Installation Manual.  
5 Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should  
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate  
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.  
Contact a qualified technician immediately.  
5 Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers  
- for example, closed glass jars—are able to explode  
and should not be heated in the Microwave Drawer.  
6 Use this appliance only for its intended use as described  
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors  
in this appliance. This Microwave Drawer is specifically  
designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for  
industrial or laboratory use.  
6 Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is  
used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to  
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface. Please see cleaning  
the glass cooktop section.  
7 As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary  
when used by children.  
7 Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not  
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.  
8 Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord  
or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been  
damaged or dropped.  
8 When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.  
9 Deep fat fryers - use extreme caution when moving the  
grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.  
9 This appliance should be serviced only by qualified  
service personnel. Contact nearest Sharp Authorized  
Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.  
10 Always turn the surface units off before removing  
cookware.  
11 Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium  
high heat settings.  
10 Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.  
11 Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use  
this product near water—for example, in a wet basement,  
near a swimming pool or similar locations.  
12 Food for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on  
frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot  
fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.  
12 Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep cord away  
from heated surfaces.  
13 Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying.  
Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when  
food is added.  
13 Do not climb or sit on the Microwave Drawer. The range  
could tip and cause injuries to persons.  
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying,  
stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.  
14 Be sure that fingers or other objects or materials are not  
around the Microwave Drawer opening when the  
Microwave Drawer is closed.  
14 Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.  
15 Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent  
heating fat beyond the smoking point.  
15 Do not put fingers or clothes around the drawer guides  
when the Microwave Drawer is opened or closed. They  
could be caught in the guides when the Microwave  
Drawer is closed.  
16 Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can  
be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings  
or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.  
16 Be sure that the food and container are shorter than the  
Microwave Drawer before closing it. You can refer to  
the height of the side walls of the Microwave Drawer.  
17 Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or cooktop  
can lead to broken or shattered glass.  
17 When cleaning Microwave Drawer sealing surfaces that  
come together on closing the drawer, use only mild,  
nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge  
or soft cloth. See cleaning instructions on page 43.  
18 Never use the glass cooktop surface as cutting board.  
19 Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire  
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.  
20 Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils  
on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may  
become hot and could cause burns.  
18 To reduce the risk of fire in the Microwave Drawer  
cavity:  
a Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance  
when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are  
placed inside the Microwave Drawer to facilitate cooking.  
MICROWAVE DRAWER  
When using the Microwave Drawer, basic safety precautions  
should be followed, including the following:  
b
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags  
before placing bag in Microwave Drawer.

removed from the Microwave Drawer is not always  
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT  
LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A  
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED  
INTO THE LIQUID.  
7 When using cooking or roasting bags in theoven, follow  
the manufacturerʼs directions.  
8 Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience  
in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns  
from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.  
9 Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated,  
they can catch fire.  
10 Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in  
oven can ignite.

a
b
Do not overheat the liquid.  
Stir the liquid both before and halfway through  
heating it.  
SELF-CLEANING OVEN  
c Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow  
necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.  
1 Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential  
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage

INTRODUCTION TO TOUCHSCREEN  
This Sharp Insight Range features an LCD Touchscreen that  
is designed to make operation easy by providing step-by-step  
instructions right on the active touchscreen display.  
The “Microwave Drawer Home Page” gives you six options:  
Reheat, Defrost and Automatic Cooking, plus Popcorn,  
Minute Plus and Keep Warm. By simply touching one of  
these pads, you will see more options and specific directions.  
All of these settings are automatic, but microwave cooking  
times and power levels can be set manually, as well (see  
page 18-19).  
After the time of day and date are set (instructions on next  
page), the “Home Screen” will appear. Notice that the Lower  
Oven operation pads appear on the left side of the touchscreen  
and the Microwave options are on the right.  
As you use the touchscreen, you will see that regardless of  
where you start—from the Home Screen, from the Lower  
Oven Home Page or from the Microwave Drawer Home  
Page—you will get to the same options and information.

COOKTOP USE  
ABOUT COOKING UTENSILS  
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW  
For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking  
utensils as below.  
ABOUT THE COOKTOP  
• Glass ceramic cooktop - Make sure the surface and  
the pan bottom are clean before turning on. Do not use the  
cooktop if the glass is broken or if metal melts on it.  
• Bottom of pan- Pans should have flat bottoms that make  
good contact with the entire surface unit. Check for flatness  
by using a straight edge. Pans with curved or warped bottoms  
are not recommended.  
• Radiant surface units - The radiant surface heating units  
are beneath the smooth glass ceramic cooktop. The design on  
the cooktop outlines the area of the surface unit underneath.  
When the cooktop is on, the cooktop-on indicator, next to the  
surface cooking control knob, comes on even if the cooktop  
unit doesnʼt look red. The areas around the units may become  
hot enough to cause burns.  
• Size of pan - Pan size should match the amount of food  
and the size of the surface unit. Do not use canners or frypans  
that exceed the width of the radiant surface units.  
• Material of pan - Always use a utensil for its intended  
purpose. Follow manufacturerʼs instructions. Some utensils  
were not made to be used on the cooktop.  
• Hot surface indicator - An indicator light, on the  
cooktop, comes on when the surface unit is turned on and  
the cooktop temperature increases. The indicator will remain  
on until the surface has cooled below 150˚F even after the  
unit is turned off.  
• Position of pan - Always place the pan in the center of  
the surface unit you are using.  
• Wok Cooking - Only a flat-bottomed wok is recommended.  
Do not use round-bottom wok or a wok with a support ring.  
• Temperature limiter - The radiant surface units have a  
temperature limiter that allows the unit to cycle on and off,  
even at the HI setting. It protects the glass ceramic cooktop  
from damage. Cycling at the HI setting can occur when  
improper cookware is used.  
Note:  
• Do not slide cookware across the cooktop surface because  
it can scratch the glass or may leave marks which need to  
be removed promptly.  
• Never allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan  
and the countertop.  
Note:  
• Never leave any items on the cooktop. Hot units may  
ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics or increase  
pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.  
• Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop surface.  
• Do not use cooktop as a cutting board.  
• Donʼt store heavy items above the cooktop as they can  
cause damage if they drop on to the cooktop.  
• Never cook directly on the cooktop. Always use  
cookware.

COOKTOP WARM ZONE  
The Cooktop Warm Zone will keep hot cooked food at an  
ideal serving temperature. To turn Cooktop Warm on, touch  
the Cooktop Warm pad, then touch number 0 within 3  
seconds. The red indicator will light. To turn the Cooking  
Warm Zone off, touch the Cooktop Warm pad.  
3 When cooking is completed, turn the knob to OFF.  
Remove pan.  
Note for surface unit: A hot surface indicator light in the  
center of the cooktop will glow when a radiant unit is turned  
on. It will remain on until the surface is cooled to about  
150˚F. Be sure the knob is turned to OFF when you have  
finished cooking.  
CAUTION  
The Cooktop Warm Zone will not glow red  
when it is hot, but it does become hot enough to cause burns.  
Always use oven mittens when removing food from the  
Warm Zone as cookware and plates will be hot. Use only  
cookware recommended for top-of-range cooking. Do not  
use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt on to the  
surface and be very difficult to clean.  
The glass ceramic cooktop retains heat after the radiant  
surface units have been turned to OFF. If possible, turn the  
units off and allow foods to finish cooking with the retained  
heat. It may be necessary to remove the pan from the unit to  
prevent further cooking, also.

MICROWAVE DRAWER COOKING  
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that  
cooking temperatures have been reached.  
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW  
ALWAYS have food in the Microwave Drawer when it is on  
to absorb the microwave energy.  
Doneness signs include:  
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.  
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.  
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.  
When using the Microwave Drawer at power levels below  
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is  
normal for the exterior of the Microwave Drawer to be warm  
to the touch when cooking or reheating.  
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.  
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.  
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.  
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the  
amount of moisture that condenses in the Microwave Drawer.  
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation  
as uncovered ones. Vents between Microwave Drawer and  
oven must not be blocked.  
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS  
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces  
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new  
Microwave Drawer. Make sure the utensil does not touch the  
interior walls during cooking.  
The Microwave Drawer is for food preparation only. It should  
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.  
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and  
reheating:  
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.  
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)  
Your Microwave Drawer is rated 1000 watts by using the  
IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,  
check food a minute or two before the minimum time and  
add time accordingly.  
• microwave-safe plastics  
When opening or closing the Microwave Drawer quickly,  
food in the Microwave Drawer may be spilled. To clean,  
please refer to the Cleaning and Care section on page 43.  
• microwave-safe paper plates  
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain  
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating  
time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)  
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE  
Should there be any interference caused by the Microwave  
Drawer to your radio or TV, relocate the radio or TV as far  
away from the range as feasible or check position and signal  
of receiving antenna.  
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods  
that have little fat or sugar in them:  
• wood, straw, wicker  
DO NOT USE  
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING  
• metal pans and bakeware  
• dishes with metallic trim  
• non-heat-resistant glass  
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)  
• recycled paper products  
• brown paper bags  
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards  
outside of dish.  
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time  
indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked  
can smoke or ignite.  
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook  
for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic  
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to  
cook evenly.  
• food storage bags  
• metal twist-ties  
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,  
place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH  
for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not  
be used.  
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin  
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense,  
thick areas are cooked thoroughly.  
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice  
during cooking, if possible.  
The following coverings are ideal:  
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and  
absorbing fat while cooking bacon.  
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking  
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like  
roasts must be turned over at least once.  
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.  
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use  
can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic  
wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.  
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through  
cooking both from top to bottom and from right to left.  
• Add standing time. Remove food from Microwave Drawer  
and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows  
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.  
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because  
heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.  
• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that  
16

MICROWAVE DRAWER COOKING  
need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember  
to slit bag so steam can escape.  
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face  
and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dishʼs covering  
and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away  
from the face.  
How to use aluminum foil in your Microwave Drawer:  
• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the  
food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or  
cooking too quickly.  
• Stay near the Microwave Drawer while itʼs in use and  
check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance  
of overcooking food.  
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface  
of the Microwave Drawer.  
• NEVER use the Microwave Drawer for storing cookbooks  
or other items.  
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check  
a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.  
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high  
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.  
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories  
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase  
so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer  
will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure  
you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp  
is not responsible for any damage to the Microwave Drawer  
when accessories are used.  
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing  
and/or fires. See page 43.

the remaining time appears on the display. At this time,  
you may stir or season food, as desired.  
7 If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when  
cooking or reheating foods, error messages will be  
displayed, and the microwave will turn off.  
USING SENSOR SETTINGS:  
1 After the range is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before  
using any sensor setting.  
8 Check food temperature after cooking. If additional  
time is needed, continue to cook manually.  
2 Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the  
interior of the Microwave Drawer are dry. Wipe off any  
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.  
9 Some foods have additional cooking tips in “Custom  
Help”. Touch the Custom Help pad when it is showing  
in the display for additional cooking tips.  
3 The sensor works with foods at normal storage  
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room  
temperature.  
COVERING FOODS:  
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover  
recommended in the procedure for these foods. You may refer  
to the hints by touching the Custom Help pad.  
4 Any sensor selection can be programmed with  
More/Less Time Adjustment. See page 28.

• If the Custom Help pad appears, you can get additional information by touching it. To return to the previous page, touch the  
pad, then touch START.  
MANUAL DEFROST  
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the AMOUNT column  
on the Defrost Chart, you need to defrost manually.  
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using 30% power. Estimate defrosting time, enter it and  
follow the exact procedure found on Variable Power Cooking on page 18.  
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately four minutes per pound. For example, defrost  
four minutes for one pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.  
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the  
estimated defrosting time, program the oven in one minute increments on 30% power until totally defrosted.  
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a  
microwave-safe dish.

OVEN COOKING  
ALUMINUM FOIL  
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW  
Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It is not  
recommended to use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan  
and broiler grid. If you would like to use it to make cleaning  
easier, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits  
in it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil will prevent  
fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan, and  
then the juices could become hot enough to catch on fire.  
• Be sure all packing material is removed from oven before  
turning on.  
Oven vent location - The oven vent is located at the  
right side of the front panel between the Microwave Drawer  
and oven. This area could become hot during oven use. It  
is normal for steam to come out of the vent. The vent is  
important for proper air circulation in the oven and good  
baking results. Never block this vent.  
OVEN BAKING AND BROILING  
The Bake and Broil features use the top and bottom heaters;  
however, no air is moving. This heater usage is the traditional  
way electric ovens bake and broil. Standard cooking  
directions and most cookbooks use traditional times and  
temperatures so can be used when using Bake and Broil.

AIR CIRCULATION IN THE OVEN  
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in  
the oven as much as possible. If baking four cake layers at  
the same time, place two layers on rack #1 and two layers  
on rack #3. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly  
above the other. For best air circulation and baking results  
allow 2-4 inches around the cookware and be sure pans and  
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or  
back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around  
the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach  
around the food.

OVEN COOKING-CONVECTION  
CONVECTION COOKING  
The Convection settings use heaters on the top and bottom of the oven as well as a rear heater located behind the rear wall  
and convection fan cover. The rear heater is used for true European convection performance. There are various sequences of  
the heaters used to achieve ideal cooking. The convection fan moves the heated air throughout the entire oven to ensure even  
browning and crisping.  
The rear heater shuts off if the oven door is open for longer than one minute. The convection fan shuts off when the door is  
opened. Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door when necessary and always closing it quickly.  
HOW TO SET OVEN TEMPERATURE FOR CONVECTION BAKE

CONVECTION ROAST  
Use the broiler pan, grid and roast/broil rack. The roast/broil rack enables the heated air to circulate on all sides of the roast or  
poultry so that juices are sealed in and the outside browns well.  
Foods are placed in the oven directly from the refrigerator. There is no need to preheat. Always use a meat thermometer to  
ensure the correct removal temperature.  
HOW TO SET CONVECTION ROAST  
• Suppose you want to roast a chicken at 300˚F for 40 min. The Insight Range will use Custom Conversion to automatically  
convert this temperature and time for Convection Roast of meats and poultry.

OTHER FEATURES  
HOW TO START SELF-CLEAN  
Remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock (approx. 1 hour) if you are planning to use the  
oven after a self-clean cycle. Remove the broiler pan and broiler grid, all utensils and any foil. We recommend removing the  
oven racks. If they go through the clean cycle, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. With soap and water,  
clean any soil from the oven frame and the area outside the gasket on the door. These areas heat during self-cleaning cycle so  
soil could be burned on. To avoid heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperature, remove heavy spillovers in the oven  
using hot soapy water and cloth before cleaning cycle.  
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan during the self-cleaning cycle.  
Suppose you want to set the oven for the Light Self-Cleaning cycle.  
1Touch the Lower Oven pad on the control  
panel. Then touch Self Clean pad.  
2 Touch Light pad.  
3 Touch the Lower Oven START pad on  
the control panel.  
HOW TO SET SELF-CLEAN DELAY START  
• Suppose you want the oven to start later at 10:00 PM.  
1 Follow the How To Start Slef-Clean steps 1-2.  
3 Touch Delay Start pad.  
4 To set time of day for the cleaning cycle to begin, touch  
number pads 1000�and touch START pad.  
Oven locks automatically. For immediate start, cleaning time appears and begins counting down. If you have selected Delay Start,  
the oven will not turn on and the timer will not begin counting down until the time of day you have set. When self cleaning time  
is completed, a signal will sound. It will not be possible to open the door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature  
and “COOLindicator goes off.  
After a self-clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools. Gently  
lift the bottom element to wipe underneath it. It cannot be removed.  
If the racks become hard to slide, apply a small amount of cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks.  
Note: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move  
birds to another well-ventilated room.  
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot to touch. Do not leave small children unattended  
near the appliance.  
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before the self-cleaning cycle, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual.  
This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm.  
The glass ceramic cooktop and the Microwave Drawer can be used while the oven is self-cleaning.

gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this.  
1 Apply a few drops of cleaner cream to the cooktop that is  
not hot.  
NON-COOKTOP SURFACES  
EXTERIOR  
2 Dampen clean paper towel and clean top.  
3 Wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel, then  
wipe dry.  
The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean  
the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with  
a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive  
cleaner.  
Note:  
Make sure bottom of cookware and cooking area are clean  
and dry before turning on the cooktop.  
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE  
(SELECT MODELS)  
• Wipe up food spills and spatters before they burn on the  
surface.  
The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and  
polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There  
are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning  
and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend  
that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully  
used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on  
to it. Follow package directions carefully.  
• Do not mix cleaning products. Mixtures may interact and  
damage the surface.  
SUGARY SPILLOVERS (JELLIES, FUDGE,  
CANDY, SYRUPS ETC.), MELTED PLASTICS OR  
HEAVY BURNED ON RESIDUE  
Sugary spillovers, melted plastics or heavy burned on residue  
can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop unless the  
spill is removed while still hot.  
OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR  
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to  
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to  
maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid  
the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,  
streak or dull the door surface.  
You must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is  
still hot.  
1 Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.  
2 Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper at a 30  
degree angle against the glass ceramic surface and scrape  
from hot surface to a cooler area.  
CONTROL KNOBS  
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Before  
removing the knobs, make sure the knobs are in the OFF  
position. Clean with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap  
and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. When replacing the  
knobs, check the OFF position to insure proper placement.  
3 Remove the spills with paper towels.  
Note:  
• Do not use a dull or nicked blade. Be sure to use a new,  
sharp razor scraper.  
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL  
• Do not use the razor blade for daily cleaning as it may  
wear the pattern on the glass.  
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.  
See the Control Lock information on page 40 of this manual.  
Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water  
only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of  
chemical cleaners. Close door and touch Stop/Clear.  
METAL MARKS OR BURNED ON RESIDUE  
Metal marks and burned on residue should be removed  
immediately after the cooktop has cooled. Metal marks can  
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.  
COOKTOP  
If the cooktop should crack or break, do not use or attempt  
to clean it. Call an authorized servicer.  
1 Dampen a “scratchless” or “never scratch” pad that is safe  
for non-stick cookware. The pattern and glass will be damaged  
if the pad is not damp or is soiled or if another type of pad is  
used. Apply a cleaner cream for glass ceramic cooktops.  
NORMAL DAILY USE CLEANING  
2 Scrub to remove as much soil as possible.  
Only use cleaning products that have been specifically  
designed for glass ceramic cooktops. Read and follow all  
instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream label. A  
sample cleaner cream is supplied with your range.  
3 Apply the cleaner cream over the soil, cover with a damp  
paper towel and let stand 30 minutes to 1 hour. Keep moist  
by covering the paper towel with plastic wrap.  
4 Scrub again and wipe off with another clean, damp paper  
towel. Then wipe dry.  
Before using the cooktop, clean the cooktop with the cleaner  
cream. To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, do  
not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.  
Note:  
• Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop.  
• If pots or pans of aluminum or copper are allowed to

in the hook of the hinge levers. You may have to apply a  
little downward pressure on the door to pull the locks fully  
over the hooks.  
MICROWAVE DRAWER  
INTERIOR  
Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior  
surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or  
spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, including drawer  
sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE  
ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING  
PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft  
damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.
