PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful

(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 qualified service personnel.
These precautions apply to the Microwave Drawer only.

WARNING
risk of tipping of this appliance from abnormal
usage by excessive loading of the Microwave
Drawer, the appliance must be secured by
installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. If it
is not, there is a possible risk of the product
tipping and causing injury if you or a child
stand, sit or lean on the open drawer. Please
refer to the Anti-Tip device information in the
Installation Manual.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, open
the Microwave Drawer fully and gently apply medium force
in the center of the handle until movement of the appliance
is detected. Continue pressing until the Anti-Tip bracket is
engaged and movement stops. A small amount of movement is
acceptable at the back of the appliance top, but it should be
stable and not tip once the Anti-tip bracket is engaged. Stop
pressing on the Microwave Drawer handle and close.
To check that the unit will not slide out, open the Microwave
Drawer fully and then apply gentle outward pressure. The
unit should not slide toward you. If it does, refer to the
Installation Instructions.

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 appliance is properly installed 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 Cooktop. Flammable material could be
ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units 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 the 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 or radiant surface
units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
CAUTION
10
in cabinets above a Cooktop+Microwave Drawer.
Children climbing on the Cooktop+Microwave Drawer
to reach items could be seriously injured.
11 Do not touch the surface units. 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 until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces
include: cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
12 Have the installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
13 Befor e performing any ser v ice, disconnect the
Cooktop+Microwave Drawer 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
Microwave Drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
Cooktop+Microwave Drawer and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
15 Teach children not to play with the controls or any other
part of the Cooktop+Microwave Drawer.
16 Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned
food a safe distance from your Cooktop+Microwave
Drawer.
17 Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or
drapes a safe distance from your Cooktop+Microwave
Drawer.
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,
earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 slowly before heating or as fats melt.
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 door 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.
