■ Do not store flammable materials in an
oven or near the cooktop.
■
CAUTION:
Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the back of a range—
children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
■ 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 cloth 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 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.
■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door
and turning the oven off or by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
■ 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.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,
crevices around the oven door.

curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken control panel or cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel or cooktop become broken.
Safety Instructions Operating InstructionsSafety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning
Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
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.
■ Never leave the surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers 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 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.
■ Always turn the surface units off before
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 little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
■ If a combination of oils 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.
■ Large 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 spills are the exception
to this. Please see the
Cleaning the glass
cooktop
section.
■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the
CERAMA BRYTE
®
Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy”
section in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
■ Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance if paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
■ In defrost mode, remove wire twist-ties
from paper or plastic containers before
placing bags in the oven.
■ Oven Cooking Bags—Do not use the wire
twist-tie to close the bag.
■ Do not use paper towels.
■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
■ Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.
■ Do not operate the oven while empty to
avoid damage to the oven and the danger
of fire.
■ Do not use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
■ If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep the oven door closed, turn the oven
off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel. If the door is opened, the
fire may spread.
■ This oven is not approved or tested for
marine use.
■ Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers—for example, closed
jars—will explode and should not be
heated in this oven. Such use of the oven
could result in injury.
■ Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will
build up inside the egg yolk and will cause
it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
■ Do not pop popcorn in your oven.
■ Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as
potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, egg
yolks, chicken livers and other giblets
should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
■ Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is
opened, pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
■ Hot foods and steam can cause burns.
Be careful when opening any containers
of hot food, cooking pouches and boxes.
To prevent possible injury, direct steam
away from hands and face.
■ As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.

■ Steam or vapor escaping from around
the door.
■ Dimming of the oven light and change
in the blower sound may occur.
■ The microwave fan may operate with both
ovens off. It is cooling the control and will
turn itself off.
■ Some TV-radio interference might be
noticed while using your oven. It is
similar to the interference caused by other
small appliances and does not indicate a
problem with your oven.
ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL WITH YOUR TRIVECTION™OVEN
If you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.
ARCING
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like antennas).
■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or
gold-rimmed dishes in the oven.
■ Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.
Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able
to be overheated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags
in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.
■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.

oven bottoms. Improper installation
of aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
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.
WARNING!
OVEN
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
■ 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.
■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some
models) and all other cookware.
■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.

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

To use the large (9 inch) surface unit,
turn the control knob to the
LARGE
settings.
About the radiant surface units…
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
over-cooking, 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 discoloration.
■
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, as it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use round-bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.
Note: Flat-bottomed canners are
required for glass cooktops.
Pots that extend beyond 1″ of the
surface unit’s circle are not
recommended for most surface
cooking. However, when canning
with water-bath or pressure canner,
larger-diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmful to the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE
DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER
LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup
or sauce mixtures—and all types of
frying—cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the glass cooktop surfaces.
Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit. If your
cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered
on the surface unit, use smaller
diameter pots for good canning
results.
Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because
they don’t make enough contact
with the surface units and take
a long time to boil water.
When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball and Kerr
brand; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be careful
when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefully followed. The process time
will be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
( 2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
■
Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
the jars are sealed completely. When
canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
■
After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
■
Since you must make sure to process
the canning jars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time, do not can on any cooktop
surface unit if your canner is not flat.
