Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• All ranges can tip.

• Injury to persons could result.

• Install anti-tip device packed with range.

• See Installation instructions.

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured by properly installed anti­tip bracket(s) provided with the range. To check if the bracket (s) is installed properly, remove the
lower panel or storage drawer and verify that the anti-tip bracket (s) is engaged. Refer to the
installation instructions for proper anti-tip bracket(s).

• Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the appliance. Destroy the carton

and plastic bags after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with

packaging material.

• Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician in accordance in the United States with National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70—latest edition and local code requirements, and in Canada
with CSA C22.1 PART 1—latest edition and local code requirements. Install only per

installation instructions provided in the literature package for this appliance.

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know
how to disconnect the electrical power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case
of an emergency.

• User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified

technician to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing leveling legs, panels,
wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawer of this appliance

can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the appliance. Do not

allow children to climb or play around the appliance. The weight of a child on an open door
may cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. An open drawer,
when hot, may cause burns.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if equipped) for storage.

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven,
near surface units or in the drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store
explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may
explode and result in fire or property damage.

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the

appliance. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any

part of the appliance.

Safety

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING
ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if
equipped). Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the
cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot

surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to

become too hot.

5

• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior oven

elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build up of pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused appliance if it is to be stored or discarded.

• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power
fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven

may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you

use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time,
make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours
before connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different

sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve
efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due

to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface unit.

6

Safety

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners— Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the
appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on
the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or a short circuit.

• 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.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an element is accidentally turned on,
the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are
touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• 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 qualified 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer—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/warmer drawer.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at the front above the oven door
(ceramic glass cooktop models) or through the right rear element (coil element models).
Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also,
do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt
or ignite.

• Placement of Oven/Warmer Drawer (if equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before
removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot oven
element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Safety

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.

Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing
light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust
fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be
aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or
injury.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS:

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven listed in this owner's guide.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove all utensils stored in the oven.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should

be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

7

• Oven racks. Oven racks will be damaged if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should

be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks will be damaged if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

Setting Surface Controls

ABOUT THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The
design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure
the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is
transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware
should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and the
settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the
surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause

burns.

ABOUT THE RADIANT SURFACE ELEMENTS

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will
glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element
retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient
cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.

Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to
heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

17

NONO

TETE

NO

TE

NONO

TETE

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can also occur if the cookware
is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 18 for using correct cookware
instructions with the cooktop).

Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and

Solutions to Common Problems section of this Use and Care Guide.
