SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended use
as
described in this guide.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
*
Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease
fires,
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
e
h’,
c
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.
Do not touch the surface units, heating
elements or interior surface of 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 and areas facing the cooktop, the oven vent opening and surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the door window and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember:
The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least
170”F.
This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.
Oven
Stand away from the range when opening
the oven door, Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face
ador
eyes.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure
could
build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.
Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against
burns from touching the hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
. Do not use oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of
the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch on fire the next time you use the pan. —
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on
or near your range.
Self-Cleaning Oven
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.
Q
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.
Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the
broiler pan, rack and other cookware.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom or the cooktop, except as suggested in this guide.
Improper installation of aluminum
foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
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.

Use
proper pan size-
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the selected
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 units will also improve efficiency.
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 cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. When the cooktop is cool, use only Cook Top Cleaning Creme brand cleaner to clean the cooktop.
Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings.
Boilovers
cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
o
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.
e
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface with
sharp instruments,
or’
with rings or other jewelry.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
Do not place or store items on top of the glass
cooktop surface when it is not in use.
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.
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 to off before
removing cookware,
c
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the
fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
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.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply Cook Top Cleaning Creme to the glass surface when it is hot.
After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove
all Cook Top Cleaning Creme residue.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.

PREPARATION
Installing
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When
moving the range on this type of’ flooring, it should be installed on
a l/4-
inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:
When the
floor covering
erz~.r
at the
from of
the
ran,ge,
the area the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.
Leveling
Use a
1%”
open end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the 4 legs. The flanges (rims) below the sides of the cooktop must be raised above the
top of
the countertop. Carefully slide the range into its installation space. Observe that it is clearing the countertop. Then place a spirit level or a glass measuring cup partially filled with water on one of the oven shelves to check for levelness. If using a spirit level, take two readings, with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.
P.djust
the 4 legs carefully. Level the range front to back and side to
side. The range legs must rest on the
floor.
The range must not hang from
the countertop.
Removing Packaging Materials
.
Please check your range to insure all packaging materials and protective tape covering are removed from areas, such as the door trim, cooktop
frame, etc. before using.

Regular or sealed gas burners use either LP gas or natural gas.
The following chart will help you to understand the differences between radiant cooktops and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
How it Works
Heat travels to the glass surface
and then to the cookware, so
pans
must be flat on
the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop.
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control off, the
giass
cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction.

is not critical to cooking results, but pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

.ypes
of Cookware
The following information
will
help you choose
cookware which will give good performance. Stainless Steel: highly recommended
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,
even heat distribution).
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: Good performance, but 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 pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop.
Porcelain/enamel: Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and fuse to the. surface.
Glass-ceramic: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch surface. Usable, but not recommended.
Stoneware: not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Cast Iron: not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
How to Check Pan Performance
se of correct cookware can affect the cooking
performance and cleaning of your cooktop.
The correct cookware reduces the temperature of the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of
spillovers
burning onto the cooktop.
You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.
Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of your pans you may do this quick test.
Turn your pan upside down on the countertop, place a ruler flat against the pan surface. The bottom of the pan and the straight edge of
-
the ruler
=
u
should fit
ffush
against each other all the way across.
Turn the ruler a full
360
degrees, checking for any
space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.
Another simple test to determine even heat distribution across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the location of bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles localized in only a portion of the bottom indicate uneven contact of the pan to the surface unit, uneven
heat transfer or an unsuitable pan. Use pans that match the diameter of the surface
unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if the cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface unit.
