IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

•Use Proper Pan Sizes. This appliance 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. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

•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.

•Be sure you know which control pads operate each surface unit.

Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

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.

•Use Care When Opening Door. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven

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

•Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil or any other material to line the oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located above the left rear surface unit. this area could become hot during oven use. Never block this vent and never place plastic or heat-sensitive items on vent

•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 allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact heating elements.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

•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 in the self-clean cycle only parts listed in this manual. Before self-clean the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils of foods from the oven.

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

•Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes released during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to well-ventilated room.

•Important Instruction. In the event the self-clean mode F code goes on, or three long beeps sound, oven is malfunctioning in the self-clean mode. Turn off or disconnect appliance from power supply and have serviced by a qualified technician.

VENTILATING HOODS:

•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.

GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES

•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 these areas are identification of areas – for example, the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

•Do Not Cook on Broken CookTop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top 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.

TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE

Cleaning

(see pages 27~28 for more information)

Before first use, clean the cooktop.

Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel.

Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.

Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

To Prevent Marks and Scratches

Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or scratch the top.

Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly.” (See Cleaning pages 27~28.)

Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.

To prevent scratching or damaging to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt, or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using.

Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.

To Prevent Stains

Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.

To Prevent Other Damages

Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning pages 27~28.)

Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and pan.

Do not use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board. Do not cook food directly on the surface.

SURFACE CONTROLS COOKING

GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE

Glass Cooktop Surface Notes:

•Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

•Glass cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the elements are turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will cool down enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the cooktop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

•In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface.

•Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

•The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

COOKING AREAS

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooktop surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware Recommendations.

USING THE PROPER COOKWARE

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly. Stainless steel is recommended.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge or ruler

1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.

2. Hold it up to the light.

3. No light should be visible under the ruler.

does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.

•Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom, and/or oversized canners and griddles.

•Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized Service agent.

HOME CANNING TIPS

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit. Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil and cooktops may be damaged.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smooth top surfaces.

Use the high heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.

Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil, or pressure. If the heat is not turned down,the cooktop may be damaged.
