WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip
device supplied.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip
device WB2X7909.

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the kick panel or storage drawer
and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly
engaged when you push the range back against the wall. 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 this manual. Failure to take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injury.

WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.

■ Do not store flammable materials in

an oven or near the cooktop.

■

CAUTION: Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of a
range—children climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ 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.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never

pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flame in the oven can be smothered

completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi­purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.

■ Do not touch the surface units, the

heating elements or the interior surface
of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough to burn even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the surface units, areas
nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the

cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,
crevices around the oven door.

■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.

■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean

to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.

■ Teach children not to play with the

controls or any other part of the range.

■ Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.

■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils

and canned food a safe distance from
your range.

■ Always keep combustible wall coverings,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS

■ Never leave the surface units unattended

at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.

■ Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop service; others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.

■ To minimize the possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container
should be turned toward the center of
the range without extending over nearby
surface units.

■ Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

■ When preparing flaming foods under

the hood, turn the fan on.

■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The

glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.

■ Keep an eye on foods being fried at high

or medium high heat settings.

■ Foods 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.

■ Use little fat for effective shallow or deep

fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.

■ If a combination of oils or fats will be

used in frying, stir together before heating,
or as fats melt slowly.

■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.

■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.

The cooktop can be scratched with items
such as sharp instruments, rings or other
jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

■ Do not operate the radiant surface units if

the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass cooktop become broken.

■ Never use the glass cooktop surface as

a cutting board.

■ Do not place or store items that can melt

or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even
when it is not being used.

■ 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.

■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugar spills are the exception

to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.

■ When the cooktop is cool, use only

CERAMA BRYTE

®

Ceramic Cooktop

Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE

®

Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.

■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper

towel to remove all cleaning cream
residue.

■ Read and follow all instructions and

warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors

or cooktops can lead to broken or
shattered glass.

■ Do not leave any items on the cooktop.

The hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and will increase pressure
in closed containers, which may cause
them to burst.

■ Do not leave plastic items on the

cooktop—they may melt if left too close
to the vent.

■ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the

cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.

Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in

the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.

■ Pulling out the shelf 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.

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in an oven can ignite.

■ Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line oven

bottoms, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of
aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.

Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

WARNING!

OVEN

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■ Take the shelves out of the oven before

you begin the self-clean cycle or they
may discolor.

■ Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before

starting the self-cleaning operation.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,

turn the oven off and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.

Using the Warming Zone

The WARMING ZONE, located in the back
center of the glass surface, will keep hot,
cooked food at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food. Do not use
to heat cold food. Placing uncooked or
cold food on the WARMING ZONE could
result in food-borne illness.

Push and turn the control knob to any
desired setting.

For best results, all foods on the
WARMING ZONE should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
pastries or breads, the cover should be
vented to allow moisture to escape.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts
when removing food from the WARMING
ZONE, since cookware and plates will be
hot.

CAUTION: Do not warm food on the

WARMING ZONE for more than two hours.

NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like

the cooking elements.

A HOT surface indicator light will glow
when the glass surface is hot and will
remain on until the surface is cool
enough to touch. Lower settings may not
heat the glass surface enough to cause the
HOT surface indicator light to come on.

A WARMING ZONE indicator light will
glow when the unit is on.

■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic

may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to clean.

■ Use only cookware recommended for

top-of-range cooking.

Temperature Limiter

Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle
the units off for a time if:

■ The pan boils dry.

■ The pan bottom is not flat.

■ The pan is off-center.

■ There is no pan on the unit.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball®and
Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.

Flat-bottomed canners are
recommended. Use of water bath
canners with rippled bottoms may
extend the time required to bring
the water to a boil.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Do not use round bottom woks.
You could be seriously burned if the
wok tipped over.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.

About the radiant surface units…

The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
overcooking, remove pans from the
surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface
unit until it has cooled completely.

Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass—the glass is scratch-resistant,
not scratchproof.

■ Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable

using the cleaning cream or full-strength white
vinegar.

■ Use of window cleaner may leave an

iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.

■ Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.

If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.

■ Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Selecting types of cookware.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, since it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-Ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.

Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
