IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP
• Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food
on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn
the cooking area off before removing the
cookware.
• Cookware handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface elements — To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of ammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of the cookware should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over other cooking areas.
• Use proper pan size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select cookware with at bottoms that match the surface unit size. Using
the proper cookware on the cooking area will
improve efciency.
• Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
• Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
• Never leave surface elements unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled
dry could be damaged and may damage the
cooktop.
• Do not use a searing grill meant for use with
a broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill
is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing
so may result in a re.
• When you are aming foods under a ventilating hood, turn on the fan.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
CAUTION
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop.
If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualied technician immediately.
• Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam
burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
• Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let potholder contact hot burner or element in
oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to
drain away from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always
cook in proper cookware and always use the
oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,
aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven
racks, or any other part of the appliance.
Only use aluminum as recommended for
baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover
placed on food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or re or a short circuit.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the appliance when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or
steam escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on
may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic
or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven
vent. These items can melt or ignite.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR OVEN
Before manually cleaning any part of the
appliance, be sure all controls are turned off
and the range is cool. Cleaning a hot oven can
cause burns.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch re. Do not
allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits
in the fan could catch re.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen cleaners
and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently - Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the
hood or lter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning vent hoods.

Removing, replacing & arranging racks
To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
To replace - t the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack
back into place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will
become very hot which can cause burns.
Types of oven racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven
rack styles shown.
at handle
oven rack

oven rack
offset
oven rack
The at oven rack or at handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible locations between the standard positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.
