Glass-Ceramic Cool(top

NEVER 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. Some cleaners

canproduce noxious fumes if applied toa hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth or paper towel

is used on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.

Deep Fat Fryers

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan.

Oven

Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replac- ing food.

For proper oven operation and performance, do not block or obstruct oven vent duct.

When oven is in use, the area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns.

Always place oven racks in desired locations while oven is cool. If rack must be moved

while oven is hot, do not let potholder touch hot heating element.

Self-Cleaning Oven

Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gasket. The gasket is essential for

a good seal. Do not 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.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils to prevent excessive smoking, discoloration of the oven racks or possible damage to utensils.

Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy spills, before the clean cycle to prevent smok-

ing, flare-ups or flaming. It is normal for the cooktop to become hot

during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid touch- ing the cooktop, door, window or oven vent during a clean cycle.

Heating Elements

NEVER touch surface or oven heating ele- ments, areas near elements, or interior sur- faces of oven.

Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface elements and interior surfaces ofan oven may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating el-

entents, areas near elements, or interior sur- faces of oven until they have had sufficient

time to cool.

Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent, and surfaces near the vent opening, oven door,

areas around the door and oven window.

Important Safety Notice and

Warning

The California SafeDrinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) re- quires the Governor of California to publish

a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to want cus- tomers of potential exposures to such sub-

stances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when it is engaged in the self-clean cycle,

there may be low level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon mon-

oxide. Exposure can be minimized by prop- erly venting the oven to the outdoors during

the self-clean cycle by opening a window and/or door in the room where the appliance

is located. IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET

BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes front the kitchen

could reach. Birds have avery sensitive respi- ratory system. Fumes released during an oven

self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cook-

ing oil, fat, margarine and overheated non- stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Tips to Protect the Glass-Ceramic

Surface

• Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See Cleaning, page 14.)

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch

the surface.

• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with

high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean im-

mediately. (See Cleaning, page 14.)

• Never let a pan boildry as this will dam- age the surface and pan.

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board. Never cook food directly

on the surface.

• Never place a trivet or wok ringbetween the surface and pan. These items can

mark or etch the top.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot

surface. The pans may leave marks which

need to be removed promptly. (_e Clean- ing, page 14.)

• Make sure the surface and the panbottom are clean before turning on to prevent

scratches.

• To prevent scratching or damage, do not

leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using.

• Never 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.

• Do not use a small pan on alarge element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra clean-

ing

• 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 slide hea_3; metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.

• Do not use foilor foibtype containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an autho-

rized servicer.

• Ifa spillover occurs while cooking, inm_e-

diately 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 cook- ing 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 u_ chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recom-

mended for use on glass-ceramic.

• To retain the appearance of the glass-

ceramic cooktop, clean after each use.

Care &

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION:

• It is normal for parts of the range to becomehot duringa cleancycle.

• Avoidtouchingcooktop,door,window,

orovenventarea duringacleancycle,

• To prevent damageto oven door, do notattemptto openthedoorwhenthe LOCKindicatorwordisdisplayed,

• Do not usecommercialovencleaners

ontheself-cleanovenfinishor around

anypart of the ovenas they will dam- agethe finishorparts.

The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures to automatically

clean the entire oven interior. It isnormal for excessive flare-ups, smok-

ing and flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to

clean tile oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up ofsoil

in the oven. During the cleaning process, the kitchen

should be well ventilated to help elimi- nate normal odors associated with clean-

ing.

Before Self-Cleaning

Turnoff the oven light before cleaning as the light may burn out during the clean

cycle. Remove broiler pan, all pans and the

oven racks from the oven. The oven racks

will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle.

Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside tile door gas-

ket) and around the opening in tile door gasket with a non-

abrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. These areas are

not exposed to cleaning temperatures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from

baking on during tile clean cycle.

To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The

gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from

the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the

clean cycle. For ease of cleaning, the heat- ing element can be lifted slightly (1 inch).

Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers such

as sweet potatoes, tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant,

not acid proof. The porcelain finish may

discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up

prior to a self-clean cycle.

During Clean Cycle

When the LOCK indicator word lights in

the display, the door cannot be opened. To prevent damage to door, do not force

door open when the LOCK indicator word is displayed.

Some smoke and odor may be detected the first few times the oven is cleaned.

This is normal and will lessen in time. Smoke may also occur if oven is heavily

soiled or if broiler pan was left in oven. As oven heats, you may hear sounds of

metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage oven.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the clean

cycle, the LOCK indicator word will turn off. At this point, the door can be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, pow- dery ash which can be removed with a

damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not long enough.

The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

If the oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle,

wipe racks and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to

restore ease of movement. A white discoloration may appear after

cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle. This

discoloration is normal and will NOT affect performance.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain resulting from the heating and cooling of

the finish. This is normal and will not affect performance.
