IMPORTA#TSAFETY I#STRUCTIO#S

WARNJNG_ To prevent

[ _J accidental tipping of the

range from abnormal use, including excessive loading of the oven door, attach the range to the wail or floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. If the range is moved for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the Anti-Tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is slid back in the opening. Failure to do so could result in the range tipping and may cause personal injury. To inspect the Anti-Tip device, remove the storage drawer and look to see if the rear leg leveler fully engages the slot in the

bracket.

important: To ensure safety for yourself, family, and home, please read your Use and Care Guide carefully. Keep it handy for reference. Pay close attention to Safety Sections. BE SURE your appliance is installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

• DO NOT leave children alone or unattended near an appliance in use.

• TEACH CHILDREN not to play with controls or any part of the appliance,

and not to sit, climb or stand on the door, or any other part of the

appliance.

* CAUTION: NEVER STORE items of

interest to children on the backguard

or incabinets above the appliance.

Children climbing on the appliance

could be seriously injured.

* KEEP THIS book for later use. * NEVER USE your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

* NEVER TRY to repair or replace

any part of the appliance unless

instructions are given in this manual.

All other work should be done by a

qualified technician.

* ALWAYS KEEP combustible wall

coverings, curtains, dishcloths, towels, potholders, and other linens a

safe distance from the appliance.

* NEVER HEAT unopened food

containers. Pressure buildup can cause the container to burst and

cause injury.

* NEVER LEAVE containers of fat or

drippings in your oven.

* ALWAYS KEEP the oven and

surface unit areas free from things

that will burn. Food, wooden utensils, and grease buildup could catch fire.

Plastic utensils could melt and

canned foods could explode. Your appliance should never be used as a storage area.

* ALWAYS KEEP your appliance clear

of things that will burn (gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids).

* NEVER TRY to clean a hot surface.

Some cleaners produce noxious fumes, and wet cloths or sponges

could cause steam burns.

* NEVER WEAR loose-fitting clothing

when using your appliance.

* NEVER USE a towel or other bulky

cloth as a potholder. Make sure the

potholder is dry. Moist potholders

and wet cloths or sponges could cause steam burns. DO NOT let

potholders touch hot heating

elements.

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.

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 cooking zone being used.

Undersized utensils expose the

cooking zone and may result in direct contact or ignition of clothing.

The proper size utensil will also

improve efficiency.

* NEVER LEAVE cooking zones

unattended at high settings. Boilovers result in smoking or greasy spills which could catch fire.

* NEVER cook on a broken cooktop;

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.

* PLACE OVEN RACKS in the

desired position while the oven is cool. If racks 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.

* ALWAYS USE care when opening

the oven door. Let hot air and steam escape before moving foods.

* NEVER USE aluminum foil to line

the oven bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire, or electrical

shock could result.

iMPORTANTSAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

* CLEAN ONLY the parts listed

in this manual. Follow all cleaning instructions. Be sure to remove

broiler pan and grid before the self-clean cycle.

* NEVER RUB, move, clean, or

damage the door gasket on self- cleaning ranges. It is essential for a good seal.

* NEVER TRY to clean utensils,

cookware, removable parts, or broiler pan and grid in the self- clean cycle.

* DO NOT USE oven cleaners--

No commercial oven cleaner or protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the oven.

* IF THE SELF-CLEANING mode

malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

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-clean cycle of any

range. Move birds to another

well-ventilated room.

READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION NOWZ

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. If fire continues, carefully open the door, throw baking soda on the fire, or use a dry chemical, foam, or halon-type extinguisher.

OPERATION

ProtectingtheCooktop

* 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 cooktop 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 it will cut or damage it.

CAUTION: When the /

surfacecontrolsare /

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 offthe 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 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 For Heavy, Burned-on Soil in the Glass-Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning section to continue the cleaning process.

OPERATION

RadiantCooktopCooking

Before using your new radiant cooktop, clean it with the Cooktop Cleaning Creme ®.This will leave a protective coating.

NOTE: On models with white glass-ceramic, it is normal for the

surface to appear discolored when cooking zones are hot. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools.

The cooking zones are shown by the outline on the glass. The sign

above each control knob shows you which cooking zone is turned on by

that knob. NOTE: The surface warmer

(the center rear zone) is controlled by the electronic control.

OPERATION

RadiantCooktopCooking(cont.)

If you don't know :::d::¢Y_:_i:;Y7}:l if your cookware

is flat on the bottom, try this

test. Turn your pan upside down on the countertop, 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 cooktop 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 (on all zones except the warmer zone).

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 flat.

• 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.
