WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed tominimize the risk of fire, electric
shock, or toprevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
ANTI-TIPDEVICE
Toreduce 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.
Tocheck if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
• INSTALL and CHECK the
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath
the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket.
On models without astorage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip
the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within
4 inches. If# does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the
range is pulled from the waft for any reason, always repeat
this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the
anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not
be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
It you did not receive an anfi-dp bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at 11o
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Cafifornia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, 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.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element.Theuse of undersized cookware will exposea portion of thesurface unit todirect contact andmay
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware tosurface unit will also improve efficiency.
Never lem'e die surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Believers cause smoking
and greasy spillovets that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, gktssA:eramic,
eartbemvare or other glazed containers are
suitable for cookmp service; others may break
because of the sudden change in mmpetaune.
To minimize the possibilit T of burns, igmi6on
of flammable mamrials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be a]rned 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, u]rn the fan on.
Use care when touching the cookmp.
The _ass surface of the cookmp will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off:
Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or
medium high heat settings.
Foods for flying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisu]re on flesh
foods can cause hot fat m bubble tap and
over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for eff>ctive shallow or deep
fat flTing. Filling the pan me flail of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in flTing, stir together before heating, or
as fats melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowb,, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat tbermomemr whenever
possible m prevent overbearing fat beyond
the smoking point.
Avoid scratching the glass cookmp. The
cookmp can be scratched with imms such
as sharp insuuments, rings or otherjewehy,
and rivets on clothing.
Iarge scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cookmps can lead m broken or shattered glass.
Do not operate the radiant surface units if the
glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetram a broken cookmp and cream a
risk of elecuical shock. Contact a qualified
teclmician immediamly should your glass
cookmp become broken.
Never use the glass cookmp surface as a
cutting board.
Do not place or store imms that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
Be carefl]l when placing spoons or other sorting
umnsils on glass cooktop surfi_cewhen it is in use.
They may become hot and could cause burns.
Clean the cookmp with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surfi_ce unit, be careflfl m avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious flmles if
applied m 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
Cleaningtheglass cooktopsection.
When the cooktop iscool, use only the
CERAMA BRYTE®Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner
and the CERAMA BRYI'E Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaning Pad m clean the cookmp.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream m
the glass surfime when it is hot.
Aider cleaning, use a dtT cloth or paper towel
m remove all cleaning cream residue.
Read and follow all insnucfions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt Ohm the surface and be vetT difficult
m remove.

Good conductMty. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the

Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. HoweveL do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheamd metal can

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily--such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork--should not be allowed to sit for
more than 1hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that
the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
