ance. Flammable materials may explode and result in
fire or property damage. ,,

• 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 potholders 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. If the power fairs, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.)

Electronic controllers can be damaged

by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for
the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.

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. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

* Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage

due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

instructions

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accu-
mulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.

Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use

aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric

shock or fire or short circuit.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

Do not use decorative surface element covers. Ifan
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover

will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur ifthe
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to

the cooktop.

When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn

the fan on.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

,, Do not cook on or clean a broken cooktop--lf 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 glass 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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

,, Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

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 /

warmer drawer.

,, Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is

located at right side of the front panel and visible when

the oven door isopen. Touching the surfaces inthis area

when the oven isoperating 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/warmer drawer (if equipped)

Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location
while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) 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/warmer drawer (if equipped).
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.

important Safety instructions

induction Cooktop Features

Fast and Efficient =Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and

efficient when simmering.
A Cooler Cooktop - A unique feature of the Induction cooking is that whether elements are ON or recently turned OFF,
the cooktop will be cooler than radiant element ceramic cooktops. Virtually no wasted heat is produced since the heat
begins with the presence of a pan.
Easy Clean=ups =The cooler cooktop surface (when compared to a radiant cooktop) makes clean-ups easier. Spills resist
sticking or burning so they wipe up easier.
Magnetic Detector - The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is made of magnetic materials and eliminates
any accidental "turn-ONs", such as might occur from contact with a spatula or spoon
Pan Size Detection -The pan size recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the pan
sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More Responsive = Induction cooktops are more responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because only the pan
heats. This type of cooking heats easier and will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFR But the

glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur if touched.

Before Using the Cooktop

USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE TYPE -The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors
located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic
material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.

When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer
for use with Induction cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether
the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the
material type is correct for Induction cooking (See Fig. 1). Fig. 1
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on
your Induction Cooktop surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop surface
without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the overall appear-
ance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the overall
appearance of the cooktop.

USE THE CORRECT SiZE COOKWARE - The Cooking Zones available on the induction Cooktop require a MiNiMUM
pan size to be used at each location (Fig. 2). The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct MiNiMUM
pan size. The pan bottom must FULLY cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.

The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the cookware
on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2" beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone
(See example in Fig. 2).

NOTE: If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL,
the affected Cooking Zone display will flash the power level and the pan will not heat.

Before

Using the

Cooktop

Use Quality Cookware in Good
Condition

The cookware used with the induction
Cooktop should have flat bottoms that

make good contact with the entire surface
of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 1). Be sure to follow
all the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Fig. 2.

Also remember to:
,, Use cookware made with the correct

material type for induction Cooking (See
page 7 Fig. 1).

,, Use quality cookware with heavier

bottoms for better heat distribution
allowing for more even cooking results.

,, The pan size should match the amount

of food being prepared.

,, Do not let pans boil dry. This may

cause permanent damage inthe form of
breakage, fusion, or marring that can
affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of
damage is not covered by your
warranty).

,, Do not use dirty pans with grease

buildup. Always use pans that are easy

to clean after cooking.

Operating the Cooking Zones

The Induction cooktop has four Cooking Zones designed for cookware of various sizes. Be sure to place cookware that
meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements (see Fig. 2, page 7) for the Cooking Zone desired and is best
for the amount of food being prepared. Place the cookware with the prepared food on the Cooking Zone BEFORE setting
any of the Cooktop controls.

To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones:

1. Place the prepared food using the correct type and size cookware on the desired Cooking Zone. Be sure to center
the cookware on Cooking Zone completely covering the minimum ring marked on the Zone surface. NOTE: If the
cookware requirements for the Cooking Zone (See Fig. 2, page 8) are not met the sensors will detect a problem and
the display will flash with the power level in the affected Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display. Any problems must be
corrected before proceeding.

2. To start one or more of the four Cooking Zones lightly touch the 0 key pad for the Cooking Zones needed. A beep
will sound and the chosen Cooking Zone power level Alpha-Numeric display will show ''= ='' indicating no power level

for the Zone has been set yet. NOTE: If no other key pad is touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON the
Cooktop Zone will clear.

3. Set the desired power level for the Cooking Zone by touching either the (_ or (_ key pad. ifthe (_ key pad is
touched the Cooking Zone will start at a "Power Boost" maximum power level (the Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric

display will indicate Pb and the control will beep once), if the (_ key pad is touched once, the Cooking Zone will
start at low (the Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display will show "Lo" and the control will beep once).

NOTE: Touch once, or repeatedly touch the (_) or (_) key pads to adjust or scroll through power levels at
time during the cooking process (To scroll through the power levels quickly touch and hold the (_) or (_ key

pads until the power level desired is reached). Once the Cooking Zone power level has been set the food will begin
to heat at that level until the power level is manually changed. For more information about the available Cooktop
Zone power levels available see "Power Level Settings" section on page 9.

Setting Cooktop Controls

Cooking zones will appear to be cool after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be

hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or

plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

iMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES:

• Fluids spilled or objects lying on the controls area of the cooktop may cause the cooktop to display an error code and

turn OFF while cooking. Clean the spills or remove the objects from the cooktop.
If the cookware or pan is moved from the center of any active Cooking Zone for any reason, a sensor will detect the

situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The affected Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display will flash the power
level set for the Cooking Zone. The Cooking Zone will remember the power level setting for up to 3 minutes before the
Cooking Zone will automatically shut OFF.

To Turn OFF the Cooking Zones:

1. Once cooking is complete, touch the Q key pad to turn the Cooking Zone OFF.

2. A beep will sound, the chosen Cooking Zone and its Alpha-Numeric display will turn off.

3. When any Cooking Zone is OFF, the corresponding Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display may show HE if the
Cooking Zone temperature is HOT. The Alpha-Numeric display will continue to display HE, and even if the Cooktop
is switched OFF the Alpha-Numeric display will continue to indicate HE as long as the cooking zone remains HOT.

The cooling fan will operate as long as the HE indicator is displayed.

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFR But the

glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.

Preheat Recommendations

When preheating a pan on the cooktop always watch carefully. Whenever using the cooktop, always pay attention to
any items cooking and remain attentive until the cooking process is complete.

Keep in mind that induction may decrease the amount of time required to preheat a cooking utensil.

Recommended Settings for induction Cooking Zones

Type of Cooking

POWER BOOST (Pb) Use when first starting to heat pans that contain large amounts of food or to bring

large pans of water to boil.
HIGH (8.0 =Hi) Start most foods, bring water to a boil or pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (5.0 =8.0) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (3.0 =5.0) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam vegetables
MEDIUM LOW (2.0 - 4.0) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew (2.8 or lower is a simmer setting).

LOW/SIMMER (Lo - 2.0) Keep warm, melt, simmer (2.8 or lower is a simmer setting).

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. The Simmer
settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer
settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Power Sharing

The range is equipped with four
cooking zones divided into two heating
sections: right and left. Each section
has two zones that share the power of

one induction inverter.
If you are cooking in both zones of a

heating section, the last zone that
began to heat will cook at the power
setting you selected. The other zone
might experience a slight decrease
from its power setting.

Power Sharing Tips: Remember to
select the power setting last for the
cooking zone you want to maintain at
full setting heat. To maintain full setting
heat for two items, place one item on a

zone in one section, and the other item
on a zone in another section.

Operational Noises

The electronic processes involved with induction Cooking create some unusual background noises. These noises are
normal and part of the Induction Cooking process.

Please note that these noises are more noticeable while cooking at the Power BOOST level.

Before Setting Oven Controls

_This range has a fan that willturn "ON" and "OFF" by itself to keep the electronics cool. It may continue
to run after the range has been turned "OFF", but may also stop immediately and then turn "ON" after a while.

Cooktop and Oven Vent Location

The cooktop and the oven are vented through its

upper front frame. When the cooktop of the oven is on,
hot air is released through the vents. This venting is
necessary for proper air circulation and good baking

results.

Oven vent

To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto
the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack

upward and slide the rack back into place.

Removing and Replacing Oven Racks

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use
oven mitts when the oven is hot.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot
air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat

to reach around the food.
