Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved. Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

To verify the anti-tip bracket is installed and engaged:

Anti-Tip Bracket

Range Foot

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings: WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

• Slide range forward.

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

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

• See installation instructions for details.

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:

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 OR WALL, 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.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF

■ 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.

■ 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 flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Lo. Push in and turn to setting.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area may glow red when an element is ON. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is ON. The glow will also randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on Hi, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures. This is normal operation.

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

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. affresh® Cooktop Cleaner and the Cooktop Scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping

a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, 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.

■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and

soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and cause pitting and permanent marks.

■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across

the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough ﬁnishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

■ Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on

the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that

could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop

as a cutting board.

■ 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 you rotate 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.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly

on the cooktop.

Cooktop On Indicator Light

The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel. When any control knob on the console panel is turned on, the Cooktop On indicator light will glow.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the console panel. 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 is turned off.
