(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumu-
late on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and
that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and
sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualied service personnel.
These precautions apply to the Microwave Drawer only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires 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 warn customer of potential exposures
to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when it
is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be low level
exposure to carbon monoxide, a chemical known to the State
of California to cause reproductive harm. Exposure can be
minimized by properly 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.
WARNING
could result. To reduce the risk of tipping of the
appliance from abnormal usage by excessive
loading of the oven door, the appliance must
be secured to wall and floor by installing the
Anti-Tip device supplied. If it is not, there is
a possible risk of the range tipping over and
causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean
on an open door. Please refer to the Anti-Tip
device information in the Installation Manual.
To check if the device is properly installed and engaged, look
underneath the range with a flashlight to make sure one of
the rear leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot.
The Anti-Tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the floor
when properly engaged. You should check this anytime the
range has been moved.
All ranges can tip and injury
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
1 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this manual.
2 Be sure your applia nce is properly insta lled and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.
3 Never use appliance for warming or heating the room.
4 Children should not be left alone or unattended in area
where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
5 Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items
stored over the range. Flammable material could be
ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or
heating elements and may cause severe burns.
6 Do not repair or replace any part of appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
7 Do not store flammable materials in an oven, Microwave
Drawer or near surface units. Do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
8 Do not use water on grease fires. Smother a flame or
use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flaming
grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with
baking soda or, if available, by a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
9 Use only dry potholders - a moist or damp potholder on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot surfaces, radiant surface
units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.
CAUTION
10
in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range.
Children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.
11 Do not touch the surface units, heating elements or the
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
even though they are dark in color. These surfaces may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface units, heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces include:
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the vent opening, oven door and window
and area around the door.
12 Have the installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
13 Before performing any service, disconnect the range
power supply at the household distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
14 Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the
door, Microwave D rawer or cooktop. They could
damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
15 Teach children not to play with the controls or any other
part of the range.
16 Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned
food a safe distance from your range.
17 Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or
drapes a safe distance from your range.
Do not store items of interest to children
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
1 Use proper pan size — this appliance has different size
surface units. Select utensils having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of surface unit heating element to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship
of utensils to heating element will also improve
efficiency.
2 Never leave surface units unattended at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may catch on fire.
3 Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
4 To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with
utensils, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
5 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.
6 Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface. Please see cleaning
the glass cooktop section.
7 Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
8 When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
9 Deep fat fryers - use extreme caution when moving the
grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.
10 Always turn the surface units off before removing
cookware.
11 Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium
high heat settings.
12 Food for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on
frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot
fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
13 Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying.
Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying,
stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.
14 Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
15 Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent
heating fat beyond the smoking point.
16 Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can
be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings
or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
17 Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or cooktop
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
18 Never use the glass cooktop surface as cutting board.
19 Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
20 Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils
on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may
become hot and could cause burns.

may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
6 Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
7 When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow
the manufacturer’s directions.
8 Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience
in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns
from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
9 Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated,
they can catch fire.
10 Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in
oven can ignite.

where you start—from the Home Screen, from the Lower
Oven Home Page or from the Microwave Drawer Home
Page—you will get to the same options and information.
Just read the information on the touchscreen and follow
the directions. You’ll soon nd that selecting from the various
cooking options is easy and fun—and the guesswork has
been eliminated. Please refer to detailed programming
information on the following pages for specic features.
USING BOTH OVENS SIMULTANEOUSLY

microwave and touched START, the display will split so that
you can keep track of both functions.
If you are using the Microwave Drawer and wish to use the
Lower Oven, touch the Lower Oven pad. Proceed to set the
Lower Oven, then touch START. The display will be split

COOKTOP USE
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT THE COOKTOP
• Glass ceramic cooktop - Make sure the surface and
the pan bottom are clean before turning on. Do not use the
cooktop if the glass is broken or if metal melts on it.
• Radiant surface units - The radiant surface heating units
are beneath the smooth glass ceramic cooktop. The design on
the cooktop outlines the area of the surface unit underneath.
When the cooktop is on, the cooktop-on indicator, next to the
surface cooking control knob, comes on even if the cooktop
unit doesn’t look red. The areas around the units may become
hot enough to cause burns.
• Hot surface indicator - A n indicator light, on the
cooktop, comes on when the surface unit is turned on and
the cooktop temperature increases. The indicator will remain
on until the surface has cooled below 150˚F even after the
unit is turned off.
• Temperature limiter - The radiant surface units have a
temperature limiter that allows the unit to cycle on and off,
even at the HI setting. It protects the glass ceramic cooktop
from damage. Cycling at the HI setting can occur when
improper cookware is used.
Note:
• Never leave any items on the cooktop. Hot units may
ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics or increase
pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.
• Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop as they can
cause damage if they drop on to the cooktop.
• Never cook di r ectly on th e cook top. Always use
cookware.

utensils as below.
• Bottom of pan -
good contact with the entire surface unit. Check for flatness
by using a straight edge. Pans with curved or warped bottoms
are not recommended.
• Size of pan - Pan size should match the amount of food
and the size of the surface unit. Do not use canners or frypans
that exceed the width of the radiant surface units.
• Material of pan -
purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some utensils
were not made to be used on the cooktop.
• Position of pan

• Wok Cooking
Do not use round-bottom wok or a wok with a support ring.
Note:
• Do not slide cookware across the cooktop surface because
it can scratch the glass or may leave marks which need to
be removed promptly.
• Never allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan
and the countertop.
• Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop surface.
• Do not use cooktop as a cutting board.
