RANGE SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

TheAnti-TipBracket

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.

Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.

See the installation instructions for details.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

Anti-Tip Bracket

Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:

• Slide range forward.

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.

• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.

Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left 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.

Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the range.

User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

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 other bulky cloth.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. 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 burner will also improve efficiency.

Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

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, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If 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 With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. 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 heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.

For self-cleaning ranges –

Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

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.

Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

For units with ventilating hood –

Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

1. POWER ON light

CeramicGlass

(onsomemodels)

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level.

It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.

Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.

Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface indicator light goes off. If not wiped up while warm, surface pitting can occur.

Lift pots and pans on and off the cooktop. Sliding pots, pans and skillets that have aluminum or copper bases could leave permanent scratches and marks on the cooktop.

Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the area.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While rotating the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass)

The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.

SimmerFeature

(onceramicglassmodels)

The Simmer feature is an adjustable heat setting for more precise simmering. It is the right front surface cooking area or element. When the Simmer Feature is not on, the right front surface cooking area or element will function as usual.

To Use:

1.Set SIMMER switch to ON.

2.Set SIMMER switch to OFF when finished.

Dual-CircuitElement

(onceramicglassmodels)

1.Single size

2.Dual size

The Dual Circuit Element offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

WarmingElement

(onceramicglassmodels)

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Use the Warming Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.

Do not use it to heat cold foods.

The Warming Element can be used alone or when any of the other surface cooking areas are being used. The Warming Element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Warming Element area is too hot to touch.

Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use.

Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

CoilElementsand

BurnerBowls

(onsomemodels)

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near this appliance.

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills.

Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.

Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are off.

To Remove:

1.Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.

2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

3. Lift out the burner bowl.

To Replace:

1.Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element receptacle.

2.Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push coil element terminal into the receptacle.

3.When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the receptacle.

Lift-upCooktop
