important Safety instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP

Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place
a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit
off before removing the pan.

Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element

will also improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of
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 units.
Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan

on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE

Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath

each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
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.
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

* Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should break,

cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.

* Clean Cook Top 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 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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential

exposure to such substances.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if

equipped)--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 under the left rear surface element if your model is
equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below
the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook

tops. 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 cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.

Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this

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

OVEN VENT

C _

Oven Vent Location

in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks

AL WAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE 0 VEN IS COOL (PRIOR

TO OPERA lING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic

cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the element outline on the cooktop. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only fiat-
bottomed cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their
settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas
surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the

selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating
element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent
heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the
heating element, concentrating heat inthe heating zone. For
efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking
is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking
process.

O0 00 .............

®0 O0 .........

LEFT FRONT LEFTREAR

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small

for the radiant element or ifthe cookware bottom isnot flat.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop

cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before You Call
checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.
