GCFI3060BF 30 Inch Front Control Electric Range
Product Information: Induction Range
The Induction Range is a versatile cooking appliance that
utilizes induction heating technology to provide fast and efficient
cooking. It features a ceramic cooktop surface and a range of
cooking zones for different pot sizes. The range also includes
various control options, such as power levels, bridge function,
temperature lock, and keep warm setting. Additionally, the oven
modes offer flexibility for baking, roasting, and cleaning.
Before You Start
1. Set up your oven by removing all packaging material and tape.
Ensure that the oven racks are in place before operating the
range.
2. Apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream to the cooktop surface
and buff it with a clean paper towel to prevent scratches.
Induction Basics
1. Choosing the right cookware: Look for an induction symbol on
the bottom of pots and pans to ensure compatibility with the
cooking zones. If the cookware isn’t marked, check if a magnet
sticks firmly to the bottom or sides. Sturdy cookware with flat,
level, and clean bottoms work best.
2. Using the right size cooking zone: Refer to the markings on
the cooking zone to determine the minimum and maximum pan sizes.
Select the cooking zone that best fits the cookware bottom for
optimal heating. It’s acceptable for the pan to be slightly larger
than the cooking zone.
3. Pan sensing: Ensure that the cookware is induction-ready,
centered on the cooking zone, and not too small for the zone being
used. If the cooking zone doesn’t become active, it may indicate an
issue with pan compatibility.
Cooktop Controls
The cooktop controls allow you to operate the induction range
with ease:
- Power: Turn the cooktop on and off.
- Lock: Hold until a beep sound to lock or unlock the
cooktop. - Cooking Zone Indicator: LEDs corresponding to the active
cooking zones appear when sensing cookware. - Cooking Zone On/Off: Press to turn each cooking zone on or off
when cookware is in place. - Cooking Zone Power Level: Press a number or slide your finger
to set the power level from 1 (low) to 9 (high). Power Boost
provides the most powerful setting. - Bridge: Touch to link both left cooking zones together for
cooking with a griddle. - TempLock: Activate a temperature sensor for the right front
zone to maintain consistent temperature while cooking. - TempLock Presets: Pre-set temperature settings for simmer,
saute, sear, and boil. - Keep Warm: One-touch function to set all zones to low power for
keeping cooked foods warm.
Oven Modes
The oven offers various modes for different cooking
requirements:
- Delay Start: Allows a delayed starting time for Bake, Convect
Bake, No Preheat, Convect Roast, Steam Clean, and Self Clean
functions. - Food Probe: Monitors the internal temperature of large cuts of
meat using a probe. An alert will sound when the desired target
temperature is reached. - Cook Time: Counts down the set cooking time and automatically
shuts off the oven when complete.

FAQs
Why does my range make noises when I’m cooking? Temp changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the range expand and contract. Different fans run to preheat the oven or cool down different parts of the range, even when it’s off. The controls click as they cycle to create even cooking temps in the oven and on the cooktop zones. On induction cooktops, cookware can sometimes vibrate slightly, causing a light buzzing noise. These sounds are normal. The range will beep alert tones if anything is sitting on the cooktop controls. Don’t place pans, utensils, or other items on the cooktop control area. TWheiskonvoewnaddojuesstnm’tewnot risknl’itkaelwmayyos ledaosyn.eA. sWyhoaut’gsewt ruosnegd?to a new range, you may need to test and adjust cooking times and temperatures for recipes. Consult your Use & Care Manual for bakeware and cooking recommendations, and to see detailed instructions on how to adjust temperature. Or call us if you need help! Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil and Air Fry settings? Broiling and Air Fry are direct, high-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.
