_ mportantSafetyInstructions

General

• Read all instructions before using the range.

• Install or locate the range only in accordance with

the provided Installation

Instructions. The range must be installed by a qualified

installer. The range must be properly connected to

electrical supply and grounded.

•WARNING: To reduce the risk of tippin.g of the appliance,

the apphance must be secured by anti-tip fasteners. To check if the appliance is

installed properly, open the oven door and verify that the

range issecured to cabinets

with four screws through the

mounting holes in the front frame of the oven.

.CAUTION: Do not store things

children might want above the range. Children could be

burned or injured while climbing on it.

• Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the

range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or

stand on any part of the

range. They could be burned

or injured.

• Do not operate the range if it is damaged or not working

properly.

• Do not use the range for

warming or heating the room.

Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

• Use the range only for its intended use as described in

this manual.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR UNITS, HEATING

ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Surface

units and heating elements may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units and interior

surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact

surface units, areas near units,

heating elements or interior

surfaces of oven until they have

had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the range may become hot enough to

cause burns; such as, the oven

vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop,

the oven door and window.

_nderstanding Range Safety

• Do not wear loose or hanging

garments when using the range. They could ignite if they

touch a hot surface unit and you could be burned.

• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating

elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder.

It could catch on fire.

• Keep range vents unobstructed.

• Do not heat unopened containers. They could

explode. The hot contents could cause burns and

container particles could

cause injury.

• Do not store flammable

materials on or near the range.

The fumes can create an

explosion and/or fire hazard.

• Do not repair or replace any

part of the range unless specifically recommended in

this manual. All other servicing

should be referred to a qualified technician.

• DisConnect the electrical supply before servicing the

range.

When usinGlthe cooktop

• Do not cook on a broken glass ceramic cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning

solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop

and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Select a pan with a fiat bottom that is about the same size as

the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit,

some of the heating element will be exp..osed and may result

in the ignffing of clothing or

potholders. Correct pan size

also improves cooking

efficiency.

• Check to be sure glass cooking

utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of

glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due

to the sudden change in

temperature.

• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat

settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may ignite.

•Turn pan handles inward, but

not over other surface units.

Thiswill help reduce the

chance of burns, igniting of

flammable materials, and spills

due to bumping of the pan.

_nderstanding Range Safety

•Grease isflammable. Do not allow grease to collect around

cooktop in vents. Wipe

spillovers immediately.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming

pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a well-

fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of

pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a

multipurpose dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

• Clean glass ceramic cooktop with care. Some cleaners can

produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a

wet paper towel is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking

area, be careful to avoid steam burns.

When using the oven

• Always position oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is

cool. If a rack must be removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

• Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -

• Small amounts of formal- dehyde and carbon monoxide

are given off in the Self- Cleaning cycle from fiberglass

insulation and food decomposition. Significant

exposure to these substances can cause cancer or

reproductive harm. Exposure

can be minimized by venting with a hood or open window

and wiping out excess food spills prior fo self-cleaning.

•Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in

or around any part of the oven.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks and other utens_s.

Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts unless you

are instructed to do so in this

Use and Care Guide.

• Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a goodseal. Care

should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

Clean only parts recom-

mended in this Use and

Care Guide.

sing and Caring forYourCooktop

The glass ceramic cooktop

Standard Hot surface Halogen elements indicator elements

lights

Cooking on the glass ceramic cooktop is

almost the same as cooking on conventional surface units. There are, however, a few differences:

• The glass ceramic cooktop may take slightly longer to heat up than a coil

surface unit. Itwill also take a littlelonger

to cool down.

• You will see the element cycling on (glowing red) and off to maintain the

proper temperature setting you have selected. You may even see some cycling

when the control knob is set at HI.

• The surface units on the rightside of the cooktop feature halogen elements. These

elements light up as soon as you turn them on, and are brighter than conventional coil

elements.

• Sliding metal pans on the glass ceramic

cooktop surface could leave marks. (See

"How to keep your cooktop looking like new" on page 12 for cleaning information.)

Hot surface indicator lights

The Hot Surface Indicator

Lights on the cooktop surface

will glow when the surface

units get hot. The Indicator Lights will continue to glow

as long as the surface units are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.

Burn and Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and the Power On Light(s) is OFF

when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a surface unit is accidentally left

ON.

Using and Caring for YourCooktop

Cookware tips

• Select a pan that isabout the same size

as the surface unit.

• NOTE: For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

utensils that make good contact with the surface units. Utensils with rounded, warped, ribbed (porcelain enamel-ware) or

dented bottoms could cause severe overheating, which damages the utensil

and/or surface unit.

Woks, canners and teakettles with flat

bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most stores that sell

housewares.

• The pan should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick- ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface

unitthrough the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.

Choose pans that provide the best cooking

results.

• Handles should be made of sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached

to the pan.

• With your hand, feel the bottom of your pans while they are cool for nicks and

scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic

cooktop.

• Make sure bottoms of pans are clean and dry before using on cooktop.

• Avoid spillovers on cooktop. Use pans with tall sides.

Do not cook food directly on cooktop.

Product Damage Hazard

Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface

unit. The utensil can overheat and may dam-

age the utensil or surface unit.

Home canning information

• Use the largest surface unit for best

results. Also, use a canner/pan which can

be centered over the surface unit.

• Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat

setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

Using and Caring for YourCooktop

Caring for your cooktop

This cooktop is designed for easy care. However, glass ceramic cooktops need to

be maintained differently than standard electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not bum off as on coil elements. Because of this, the surface should be dust-free and soil-free before

heating.

Personal Injury Hazard

• When removing heavy or sugary spills

from hot cooldop, wear oven mitts to

prevent burns.

• Do not use cooktop cleaner on a hot

cooktop. The cleaner may produce

hazardous fumes or damage the

cooktop.

• Do not use the range if the cooktop is

cracked or broken.

Failure to follow these instructions can

result in personal injury.

Your cooktop has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme

(included with your unit), paper towels or a sponge, and a single-edge razor blade in a

holder is all you need to clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning methods, please review

the chart on page 12. Follow this chart after

each use to ensure top performance and to preserve that uniquely elegant look.

To avoid damaging the cooktop, follow these instructions:

• Remove sugary spills before cooktop cools to prevent pitting.

• Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

• Do not allow anything that may melt

(such as plastic or aluminum foil) to

come in contact with the surface while it is hot.

• Do not use the ceramic cooktop to cook popcom that comes in prepackaged

aluminum containers. The container can leave aluminum marks on the cooktop

that cannot be removed completely.

• Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads, abrasive powdered cleansers,

chlorine bleach, rust remover, ammonia or glass cleaning products with ammo-

nia. These could damage the cooktop surface.

• Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop can crack it. Be careful with

heavy skillets. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.

Using and Cadng for YourCooktop

Cleaning steps:

Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure all controls are OFF and the range is cool before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or

electrical shock.

1. Most spills (except sugary spills and

soils- see chart on this page) can be wiped off easily using a paper towel or clean, damp sponge as soon as Hot

Surface Indicator Light(s) goes off.

2. Rub Cooktop Polishing Creme into cooked-on soil using a paper towel. If

some soil remains, leave some creme on the spot(s) and follow Step 3.

3. Carefully scrape spots with a single- edge razor blade in a holder.

4. Finish by polishing entire cooktop with Cooktop Polishing Creme and a paper

towel.

How to keep your cooktop looking like new:

IF THERE ARE WHAT TO DO Sugary spills

and soils (such as jellies and candy syrups)

Dark streaks, specks and

discoloration

Metal marks (from copper or

aluminum pans)

Tiny scratches or abrasions

To prevent pitting on the cooktop, wipe up

with paper towel or clean, damp sponge

while glass ceramic surface is still warm.

Remove as soon as

possible after spill

occurs.

Use Cooktop Polishing Creme or

nonabrasive cleanser

with damp paper towel or sponge.

Use Cooktop Polishing

Creme or nonabrasive cleanser with damp

paper towel or sponge before heating the

cooktop again. If

heated before

cleaning, metal marks

may not come off.

Scratches and abra- sions do not affect

cooking. In time, they will become less

visible as a result of cleaning. To prevent

scratches and abra- sions, use Cooktop

Polishing Creme

regularly.

NOTE: Always rinse and dry your cooktop

thoroughly after using cleanser to prevent streaking or staining.
