IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Storage in or on Appliance_Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, broiler

compartment, near surface burners or warmer zone. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks,

plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not

store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

• Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left

alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use.

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of

the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS OR WARMER ZONE,

AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven burners

may he hot even though flames are not visible. Areas near

surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop,

surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot

surfaces.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the

fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease

may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pothoiders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be

stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during a

power failure. The oven will not operate without electricity.

Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When

using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance

has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain

the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at

least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

_i_ Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper

relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a

pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting

top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust

the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the riskof burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and

does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this

manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in riskof electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass,' ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cooktop servicewithout breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The Searing Grill is not designed for useon the cooktop. Doing so may result

in a fire.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS

• DO Not Cook on Broken Cooktop--If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cooktop with Caution--If a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid

a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if

applied to a hot surface.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--

Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or

replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed; The oven vent is

located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near

the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved

while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let

potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler

pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not use the Searing Grill without the broiler pan and

insert provided with this range. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions

for cleaning.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the

manufacturer's recommended directions for use, Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

USINGTHEWOKSTAND TheWokStandprovidedwithyour range is designed to allow round-bottomed woks to

be used. It is recommended that you use a 14 inch diameter (35.5 cm) wok.

The Wok Stand must be used on either of the front burners, although it is recommended

that you use the standard burner for best performance. If properly positioned, the Wok Stand cannot be slid off the grate.

To properly position the Wok Stand: With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the grate. Turn

the Wok Stand, as shown, until the grate fingers fit into the slots on the bottom of the stand. _|_ Be sure the grate stand is positioned correctly and stable before

use to prevent hot spills and possible burns.

The WOK STAND fits over grate fingers

Flat-bottomed woks with flat bottoms may also be used on your cooktop without the

Wok Stand.

Surface Cooking

FEATURE OVERVIEW

Using the Wok Stand

[!lrlll_l_!_ Always use

potholders to remove the

wok stand from the grate. Allow the wok

stand to cool before

removing. Do not set hot

wok stand on surfaces that cannot withstand

high heat; such as countertops.

rlq

-r-

Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the

burner unit) may also be used without the Wok Stand. The metal ring was designed to

support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner unit. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be

damaged.
