IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont.)
• 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.
• Be certain all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating.
Keep plastics, clothes, and paper away from parts
of the appliance that may become hot.
• DO NOT force the door open.
This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use care when opening the oven door
after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or
steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY
HOT.
• DO NOT use a steel-wool pad.
It will SCRATCH the surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
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.
DEEP FAT FRYERS
• Use extreme caution when moving the grease
kettle or disposing of hot grease.
• 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.
SAFETY DURING USE
• Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired position while oven is cool.
• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
removing food from the oven or cooktop.
You can be burned because cookware and plates
will be hot.
• Use caution with the TIMED BAKE or
DELAYED TIMED BAKE features. Use the
automatic timer when cooking cured or frozen
meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods
that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish,
meat or poultry, should be chilled in the
refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they
should not stand in the oven for more than 1
hour before cooking begins, and should be
removed promptly when cooking is
completed.
Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from
food poisoning.
6
• Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door
closed and turn the oven off. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or
use a fire extinguisher.
• DO NOT put water or flour on the fire.
Flour may be explosive and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
• DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid.
DO NOT cover the grid with aluminum foil.

TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE
Cleaning
(See pages 32~33 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, remove spill with a proper metal scraper.
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 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
32~33.)
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.
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 32~33.)
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean
and dry 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.
12
GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE
Glass Cooktop Surface Notes:
• The 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.
