or on the back of a range---children climbing
on the range to reach items could be seriously
injured.
i 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 doth 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 coveting 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 coveting it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a muld-purpuse dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by dos'mg the oven door and
turning the oven offor by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
exdnguisher.
[] Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
[] Do not touch the surface units, the heating
dements 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

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Useproper pan size--select cookware havingflat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element The usa of undersized cookware willexpose a pardon of the surface unit to direct
contact and may resultin ignitionof clothing.Proper relationshipof oookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.
II Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy sp'dlovers 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
became of the sudden change in temperature.
• To minimize the posfib'_ of burns, ignidon
of flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be mined toward the
center of the range without extending over
nearby surface units.
• Always turn the surface units offbefore
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 tittle fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
• Ira combination of o'ds 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.
•Iarge scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
• 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
sp'dls axe the e-xc_pdun to this. Please see the
Cleaning the glass ceoktop section.
• When the cooktop is cool, use only the
CERAMA BRYI'E ®Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner
and the CERAMA BRYIE Ceramic Cooktop
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.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to remove.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for iL
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
Topreheatsettheovenatthecorrect
temperature.Thecontrolwillbeepwhen

approximately15-20minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1" to 1_" of air space around it.
[] Check food for doneness at
minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary.
[] Touch the CLEAR/OFFpad when
cooking is complete.

place two layers on rack B and two layers on

Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The jnices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
frying, not broiling.
Donotusealuminumfoilonthebottomof
theoven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
