IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• DO NOT touch cooking zones, surfaces near them, or interior oven

surfaces. These may be hot enough to cause burns even though they

are dark in color, During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or flammable material contact the

zones or hot surfaces until they have had time to cool. Other surfaces

near the oven vent openings, oven door and window, and cooktop

surfaces may also be hot enough to

cause burns.

• NEVER LEAVE cooking zones unattended at high settings. Boilovers result in smoking or

greasy spills which could catch fire.

• NEVER cook on a broken cocktop; cleaning solutions and spillage

could penetrate it and create the

risk of electrical shock or fire. Contact a qualified technician for

repairs.

• ALWAYS TURN utensil handles inward and away from other cooking

zones to reduce the risk of burns,

ignition, unintended contact, and spillage,

• WHEN PREPARING flaming foods under the vent hood, turn the fan on,

• ONLY certain kinds of glass or ceramic cookware can be used for

cooktop cooking. Make sure the cookware you choose to use is

designed for cooktop cooking

without breaking due to the sudden

temperature change.

• ALWAYS USE care when touching cooking zones. They will

retain heat after the range has been turned off.

• NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent behind the right rear cooktop

cooking zone.

• COOKWARE USED for cooktop cooking should be flat on the bottom and large enough to cover

the heating zone being used.

Undersized utensils expose the heating zone and may result in

direct contact or ignition of clothing. The proper size utensil will also

improve efficiency.

• PLACE OVEN RACKS in the desired position while the oven is

cool. Ifracks must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder

contact the hot oven element.

• AFTER BROILING, always take the broiler pan and grid out of the oven

and clean them. Leftover grease in the broiler pan could catch fire the

next time you use your oven.

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 birth defects

or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn their

customers of potential exposure to such substances. The fiberglass

insulation in a self-cleaning oven

will give off a very small amount

of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be

minimized by venting with an open door or window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the

fumes given off during the self- cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated

room. READ AND UNDERSTAND

THIS INFORMATION NOW =.

Be sure everyone in your home knows what to do in case of fire.

Never use water on a grease fire; it will only spread the flames.

COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:

Never pick up a flaming pan...

1. Turn off the surface elements.

2. Smother the flame with a tightly

fitting lid, use baking soda, or use a dry chemical, foam, or

halon-type extinguisher.

OVEN FIRE: Do not try to move the pan;

1. Close the oven door and turn

controls off.

2. Iffire continues, carefully open the door, throw baking soda on the

fire, or use a dry chemical, foam, or halon-type extinguisher.

OPERATION

Protecting the Cooktop

• DO NOT slide cookware across your cooktop.

• DO NOT use a dishtowel or sponge to clean or wipe your cooktop.

• DO NOT use scouring powders or

plastic, nylon, or metal cleaning pads on your cooktop.

• DO NOT apply your cooktop cleaning creme to the cooktop surface if the surface is hot.

• READ the instruction label on the cooktop cleaning creme bottle

before attempting to clean the surface of your cooktop.

• AFTER cleaning the cooktop surface, be sure to wipe off any residue that may be left from the

creme with a dry paper towel.

• FOR MAJOR spills, turn the surface control knob to OFF. Use a dry

paper towel to wipe up spill, then use a razor scraper (held with a potholder) at a 45° angle against

the surface of the cooktop to

scrape remaining spill from the hot cooking zone.

• DO NOT cook directly on the surface of the glass.

• DO NOT use the cook'top as a cutting board.

• DO NOT use a knife or any sharp object on the cooktop seal around

the outer edge of the glass because

itwill cut or damage it.

_ AUTION: When the

surface controls are

turned off, the Hot

Surface Indicator light will remain lit until the cooktop surface has cooled to

approximately 1500F. The glass ceramic surface will retain heat

after the indicator light goes out. Use caution until the cooktop

surface has had time to cool.

Sugar spills (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups) or melted plastic can cause pitting of the cooktop surface

unless the spill is removed while it is still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances.

Follow these instructions carefully and

remove soil while spill is hot.

1. Turn off the cooking zone affected by the spill. Remove the utensils.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a 45° angle against the cooktop and scrape

hot spill to a cool area outside the

cooking zone.

3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to remove the spillover. Any spill remaining should be left until the surface of

the cooktop has cooled. Do not continue to use the soiled cooking

zone until all of the spill has been

removed. Follow the steps under Heavy Soil to continue the

cleaning process.

To remove the adhesive residue left from packaging tape, use household dishwashing liquid, mineral oil, or cooking oil. With a soft cloth rub into the area and allow to soak. Rinse and dry well. Repeat procedure using an appliance

polish to ensure no damage is done to the range. This should be done before

the range is turned on for the first time. The tape cannot be removed once the range has heated. Packaging tape may be found in the following areas:

Cooktop Surface, Control Panel Area, Door Handle, Door Trim, and Oven Area.

OPERATION Cook"topCooking

Before using your new radiant cooktop, clean itwith the Cooktop

Cleaning Creme®.This will leave a protective coating.

Use pans and woks that are flat on the bottom. The size of the pan should be

the same size as the zone used when cooking.

The cooking zones are shown by the outline on the glass. The sign above each control knob shows you which

radiant zone is turned on by that knob,

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support

rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be

dangerous.

Placing the ring over the surface unit

will cause a buildup of heat that will

damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the

ring. You could be seriously burned if

the wok is tipped over.

Use only fiat-boftomed woks.

OPERATION

RadiantCooktop Cooking

(contJ

1. Be sure the canner is centered over the zones.

2. Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

3. Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These

are available from manufacturers such as Ball®and Kerr_, or the

Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

4, Use caution, while canning, to

prevent burns from steam or heat.

If you don't know if your cookware is flat on the

bottom, try this test. Turn your pan upside down on the countertop, and place the edge of a ruler flat against

the surface of the pan. Rotate the ruler in a full circle, checking as you

turn for any space between the two surfaces. The bottom of the pan and the edge of the ruler should fit flush

against each other all the way across.

Stainless Steel: Highly recommended for use with your new

cooktop. Especially good with a clad

bottom.

Aluminum: Heavyweight aluminum cookware recommended.

Cast Iron: Cast-iron cookware that is completely covered with porcelain

enamel is recommended. Cast iron that is not covered with porcelain

enamel may scratch the glass ceramic surface of the cooktop.

Copper Bottom: Has good performance, but it can leave a

residue on the cooktop surface if allowed to boil dry.

Glass-Ceramic or Stoneware:

Usable. Check for rough edges or burrs, which may scratch the cocktop surface.

When the knobs are turned on, coils beneath the glass radiate heat

through the glass to the cooking utensil. It will take a few moments for

the coils to heat; as they do, a red glow can be seen below the surface

of the cooktop.

OPERATION

RadiantCooktopCooking (cont.)

Every radiant surface unit has a

temperature limiter. The temperature limiter protects the

glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the

units off for a time if:

• The pan boils dry.

• The pan bottom is not fiat.

• The pan is off center.

• There is no pan on the unit.

HI For quick starts, such as

bringing water to a boil.

MED For slow boil and sauteing.

LO For steaming foods or keeping

cooked foods at serving temperature.

1. Push in to turn the knob.

2. Set on or _F between marks for _o

desired heat. y_.)

The surface unit indicator light will glow when any cooking zone is

activated.
