IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
I-&WARNING I COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
WARNING I
(some models)
RADIANT COOKTOPSAFETY 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 o 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 isturned off may cause them to ignite also.
Use CERAIVIABRYTE®ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and
CERAIVIABRYTE®Cleaning Pod 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 con cause steam burns. Some
cleaners con produce noxious fumes if applied to
o hot surface. NOTE: Sugar spills ore on exception.
They should be scraped off while still hot using an
oven mitt and o scraper. See the Cleaning the gloss
cooktop section for detailed instructions.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream label.
WARNING I
(some models)
COILCOOKTOPSAFETY'INSTRUCTIONS
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-
clean the surface units in an oven. Doing so may
cause them to fail, presenting a burn or fire hazard.
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock,
always be certain that the controls for oil surface
units are at the OFFposition and all coils are cool
before attempting to lift or remove a coil surface unit.
Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in
place. Their absence during cooking could damage
range parts and wiring.

WARNINGIOVENSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Stand awag from the range when opening the oven
door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease
in the oven mag 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 bugs 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 mag trap or reflect heat, leading to a shock or
fire hazard.

For Best Results
Place only dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the
surface elements, particularly wet lids.
Do not use woks that have support
rings. This type of wok will not heat
on glass surface elements.
We recommend that you use only a
flat-bottomed wok. They are available
at your local retail store. The bottom
of the wok should have the same
diameter as the surface element
to ensure proper contact.
Some special cooking procedures
require specific cookware such as
pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers, etc.
All cookware must have flat bottoms
and be the correct size.
Avoid allowing foods to boil dry

Thetype of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-@t products such as butter or margarine (80% fat).
If blOUdecrease the fat, the recipe mabl not give the same results as with a higher#at product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads.
The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federalstandards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,onthe
other hand,contain lessfat and more water.Thehigh moisture content ofthese spreadsaffects the texture and flavor of

Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven;however,metal pans
heat the fastest and ore recommended
for convection baking.
Darkenedor matte-finished pans will
bake foster than shing pans.
Gloss or ceramic pans cook more slowlg.
Forrecipes likeoven-baked chicken,
usea panwith low sides. Hotair
cannot circulate well around food
in a pan with high sides.

You will hear a fan while cooking with these features. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat
will not turn off.
NOTE: Foods that spoil easily--such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultrg and pork-should not be allowed to
sit for more than 1 hour before or offer cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Be sure that the oven light is off becouse heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

Guideline Tips
The slow cook program uses a complex series
oftemperature cgcling to obtain the best
results. For this reason, it is recommended
that the slow cook program be allowed to run
without cancelling or restarting. Restarting
the slow cook feature while it is in progress
mag result in overcooked meat.
Forjuicg and tender meat, choose cuts
of meat such as chuck roast or a boneless
blade roast. Leaner cuts of meat, such
as top round, are drier and mag need
additional liquid.
Use onlg glass and ceramic dishes.
Metal pots and pans tend to transfer
the heat into the foods too quicklg.
Match the quantitg of food to the size pan.
Fillthe pan about 3/4 full for best results.
Too large a pot allows the steam to escape,
causing foods to drg out.
AIwags cover the pot with a lid
or aluminum foil.
Awide range of recipes mag be used
in the slow cook feature. For best results
some adjustments mag need to be made.
For smaller sized recipes, begin checking
at minimum time. For large recipes or when
doubling recipes, foods mag be cooked
for longer periods of time.
When the slow cook feature completes,
the oven willautomaticallg switch to "warm"
mode. Ifadditional slow cook time is desired,
this warm mode mag be used to obtain
the extra time.
