hazard.
DO NOT
pour spirits over hot foods.
DO NOT
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish
flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
• Cooking Surface: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
Child Safety
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet
storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided,
it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely
stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be
unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in
use or is still hot.
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they
could be injured or burned.
• DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing
to reach items could be seriously injured.
Child Safety (cont.)
• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children
should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
Cooking Safety
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be sure you
know which knob controls which surface element. Make sure the correct
element is turned on. When cooking is completed, turn element off before
removing pan.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially
when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as
possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.
• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element or in the oven.
Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal
injury or damage to the appliance.
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders
because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught
on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before

Cooking Safety
Getting Started
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
(cont.)
Utensil Safety
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay
cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans.
Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled
with food may also be hazardous.
• Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid
boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan
will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the
bubble action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over
adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the
appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by
small children.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the
appliance.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.
•
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop surface or oven usage without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when
using glass.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional
cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically
recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface
units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of
devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual
can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and
reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
To avoid risk of property damage, DO NOT use cast iron cookware.
Cast iron retains heat and may result in damaging the rangetop.
Heating Elements and Glass Ceramic Cooking Surfaces
• Surface areas on or adjacent to the unit may be hot enough to cause burns.
• NEVER touch oven heating elements, areas near elements, or interior
surfaces of oven.
• Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
elements and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause
burns.
During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable
•
material contact surface of unit or areas near unit, heating elements, or
interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE – If cooking surface
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooking surface and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Cleaning Safety
• Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or
cleaning them. DO NOT touch the surface elements or surrounding areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Self-Clean Oven
•
Clean only parts listed in this guide. 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 of any kind in or around any
part of the self-clean oven.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other
utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive
ups or flaming.
• This range features a cooling fan which operates automatically during a
clean cycle. If the fan does not turn on, cancel the clean operation and
contact an authorized servicer.
• It is normal for the rangetop cooking surface of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the rangetop cooking surface
during a clean cycle should be avoided.
• NEVER leave your residence when the self-clean function is operating.

Getting Started
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven
reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits.
A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion
of the self-clean cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven.
Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
Before Using Range
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any
visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the range
thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some burn off and
odors on first use of the appliance–this is normal.
Glass Rangetop
Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough
cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.
Oven
IMPORTANT! Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and
dry thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to bake, the thermostat
to 450°F, and operate for an hour.
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after
self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become
extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may
be some odor and smoking from the “curing” of the binder in the highdensity insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly
cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning
cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE SELFCLEAN CYCLE.
FIRE HAZARD
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration
process to ensure that it does not catch fire.
BURN HAZARD
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual,
therefore, children should be kept away.
All models include:
• A broad range of baking and broiling modes—up to eight cooking
modes in all—to make even your most challenging baking projects a
success
• Strong, wear-resistant glass ceramic surface for excellent cleanability
• Split baking and broiling elements—which reduces preheating time
and provides greater control and more even heating
• A reversing fan which is two times larger than most on the market—
this allows you to cook foods more thoroughly and evenly—even
when baking large quantities
• Four convection modes offering greater air circulation to shorten
cooking times and cook foods more evenly
• Three broiling modes including a new low-broil mode for delicate
broiling and top-browning
• A profiled, concealed bake element for easier cleaning
• This appliance is certified by Star-K to meet strict regulations in
conjunction with specific instructions found on www.star-k.org
FALLING HAZARD
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit.
Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
