Safety

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 ﬂ at 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 efﬁ ciency .

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ﬂ ammable 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.

• 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 ﬁ re 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 qualiﬁ ed 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).

Safety

• 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.

• 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 ﬁ re. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease ﬁ lters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch ﬁ re. 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.

• 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 inductor elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the inductor element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Only ﬂ at-bottom cookware should be used. Heat may be transferred from the cookware to the ceramic glass and the areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns. The type and size of cookware, the number of inductor 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.

USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE TYPE

The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.

When purchasing pans, look for cookware speciﬁ cally identiﬁ ed by the manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom

of the cookware, the material type is correct for Induction cooking.

It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface. Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface difﬁ cult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

MINIMUM PAN SIZE REQUIREMENTS

USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE - The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location. The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct MINIMUM pan size. The pan bottom must FULLY cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.

The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2” beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL contact on the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trims.

NOTE: If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL, the circle around the digital part of the display will stay off and the pan will not heat.
