SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner’s Manual.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified installer in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
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.
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.
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: Do not store items of
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.
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.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
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.
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.
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.
WARNING
Do not store or use flammable materials in
an oven or near the cooktop, including paper,
plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings,
curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if
they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
49-80690
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood
or filter.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
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.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking,
smother the fire by closing the oven door and
SAFETY INFORMATION
turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
WARNING
Never leave the surface units unattended at
medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire.
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.
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.
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.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
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.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on.
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.

SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
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.
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.
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.
WARNING
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream label.
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.
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.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease
in the oven may ignite.
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.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
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.
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.
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.
