Anti-Tip

Bracket

Leveling Leg

Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.

For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and

slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)

■Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the oven bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Oven liners can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

■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. Contact a qualified technician immediately

■Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov and fsis.usda.gov. Use a food thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.

	KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN
WARNING
	Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

■	Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven	using the appliance. These garments may ignite if
	or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot	they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

■	Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while	in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.

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 turning the

oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■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 selfclean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

WARNING COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

■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 frying 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)

■When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of 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.

WARNING RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■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.

■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.

WARNING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■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.

■Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING 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.

■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.

■Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans, shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the oven. Only enameled (not shiny) oven racks may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other parts, such as drip pans or bowls.

■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.

■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■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.

■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.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS

WARNING This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Self clean ovens can cause low level exposure to some of the Proposition 65 substances, including carbon monoxide, during the cleaning cycle. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by opening a window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.

Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

Using the Warming Zone

WARNING

FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140°F.

■Always start with hot food. Do not use warm setting to heat cold food.

■Do not use warm setting for more than 2 hours.

The WARMING ZONE, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.

To turn the WARMING ZONE on, press Warming Zone ON/OFF, select Lo, Med or Hi with the number pads, and press Start.

To turn the WARMING ZONE off, press the Warming Zone ON/OFF pad.

For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

The initial temperature, type and amount of food, type of pan, and the time held will affect the quality of the food.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the WARMING ZONE, since cookware and plates will be hot.

NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements.

NOTE: The Cancel/Off pad does not turn off the

Surface Units (Cont.)

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit. Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources.

These are available from manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture Extension

Service.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil.

Radiant Glass Cooktop

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

■Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full-strength white vinegar.

■Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this film.

■Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

■Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratchresistant, not scratch proof.

Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off for a time if:

■the pan boils dry.

■the pan bottom is not flat.

■the pan is off-center.

■there is no pan on the unit.
