appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACESOF THE OVEN.

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 causeburns. Duringand 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit

off before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size_This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having fiat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the

heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units--To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition offlamma ble materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensiT should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings_

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 range. Only use aluminum foil

as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these

liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking UtensU_nly 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.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS

*Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop_lf 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 with Caution--if a wet sponge or cloth isused 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if

equipped)--Stand to the side of the range 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. The oven vent is located

below the backguard. 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 me_t or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. 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

heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

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

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

IM PORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FORCLEANINGYOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that

could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

*Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the

manufacturer's recommended directions for use. 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 filter. Follow

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVENS

• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners on the oven liner or any of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be identified by their rough surface finish.

Surface Cooking

Ceramic-Glass Cooktop

The ceramic-glass cool<top has electric heating coils located below the surface of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface

unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the unit. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop

to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the

units are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas surrounding the surface units. The areas surrounding the units may become

hot enough to cause burns.

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods directly

on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to glass or difficulty in cleaning will result.

Radiant Surface Units The Radiant Surface U nit is agroup of heating coils enclosed in a cerarnic fixture

below the glass cooktop. The unit temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the unit will glow red. To maintain the selected setting,

the unit will cycle on and off. The heating unit retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture

thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes before cooking is

complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. The amount of residual heat depends on the type and quality of cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat setting.

Indicator Light(s)

Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)

The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within the same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for operating the

different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The larger unit or

both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage and can be used to prepare larger quantities of food in larger pans. When using the outer coil, both inner

and outer coils operate.

There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your range---a surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator.

The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any surface

unit isturned on. A quick glance at the light after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.

The hot cooktop surface indicator, located under the glass cooktop or on the

control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.
