I Use this appliance only for its intended purpose

as described in this Owner's Manual.

m Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified installer in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.

m Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recommended

in this manual. All other servicing should be

transferred to a qualified technician.

m Before performing any service, unplug the range

or disconnect the power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.

m Do not leave children alone--children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area where
an appliance is in use. They should never be

allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.

- CAUTION. Donotstoreitemsof

interest to children above a range or on the
backguard of a range--children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously injured.

m 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 cloth in place of pot holders.

m Never use your appliance for warming or heating

the room.

m Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements 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
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling
first. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially
hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing

the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near
the opening and crevices around the oven door.

m Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure

could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.

m Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or

anywhere in the oven, except as described in

this manual. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting

in damage to the product and a shock or fire
hazard.

m Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook

tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to
glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with

broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.

m Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to

at least an internal temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an internal temperature of

180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually

protects against foodborne illness.

,-...-iAWARNING i IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE,TAKE THE FOLLOWING

'-STEPSTO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

I 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 covering the

pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.

m If there is a fire in the oven during baking,

smother the fire by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

II

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do
not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air

at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst
of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this

instruction may result in severe burns.

jA WARNING j COOKTOP SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

II

Never leave the surface units unattended at
medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire.

m Never leave oil unattended while frying. If

allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil

may ignite resulting in fire that may spread
to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat
thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.

m To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum

amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and
avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive

amounts of ice.

II

Use proper pan size--select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface

heating element. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the surface

unit to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
surface unit will also improve efficiency.

m Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break

because of the sudden change in temperature.

m To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a

container should be turned toward the center of

the range without extending over nearby surface

units.

II

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

II

If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a
surface unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back

on as soon as power is restored. In the event of
power loss, failure to turn all surface unit knobs

to the OFF position may result in ignition of items

on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury
or death.

IAWARNING 1RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

:1>

ITI

---i
,.<

I Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass

surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.

m Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and

create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified

technician immediately.

m Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop

can be scratched with items such as knives,
sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and

rivets on clothing.

m Do not place or store items that can melt or catch

fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not

being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned
on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or
oven vent after it is turned off may cause them to
ignite also.

II

Use CERAMA BRYTE ® ceramic Cooktop Cleaner

and CERAMA BRYTE ® Cleaning Pad to clean
the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and
the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A
wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause

steam burns. Some cleaners can produce

noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Note:

Sugar spills are an exception. They should be

scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and

a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop

section for detailed instructions.

II

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream label.

m Stand away from the range when opening the

oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

m Do not use the oven if a heating element

develops a glowing spot during use or shows
other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates
the heating element may fail and present a

potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the

oven off immediately and have the heating
element replaced by a qualified service

technician.

m Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
m Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease

in the oven may ignite.

m Place oven racks in desired location while oven

is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,

do not let pot holder contact hot heating element

in oven.

II

When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

II

Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This

helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces
of the door and oven walls.

m Do not leave items such as paper, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.

m Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.

Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to

the product and a shock or fire hazard.

jA WARNING j SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the
oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.

I Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean

operation. Keep children away from the oven
during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these

instructions may cause burns.

m Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,

shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the
oven. Only gray porcelain-coated oven racks may

be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean

other parts, such as drip pans or bowls.

m Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe

grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive

amount of grease may ignite leading to smoke
damage to your home.

m If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the

oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.

m Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

m Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.

[A WARNING i WARMING DRAWER SAFETYINSTRUCTIONSIsomemode_s)

m The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot

cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria
will grow in food while it is below 140°F. Do not

put cold food in warming drawer. Do not heat

food for more than 2 hours. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in foodborne illness.

m Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food or combustible materials in the drawer.
They may ignite.

m Do not touch the heating element or the interior

surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be

hot enough to cause burns.

m Use care when opening the drawer. Open the

drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food. Hot air or
steam that escapes can cause burns to hands,

face and/or eyes.

m Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

drawer. The foil will trap heat below, and upset

the performance of the oven. Foil can melt

and permanently damage the drawer bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
