Getting Started
Getting Started
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before
operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken
to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.
•
NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may
cause them to burst.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and
may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the
appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the
rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a surface
element.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may
become hot and cause burns.
DO NOT
pour spirits over hot foods.
DO NOT
leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire
hazard.
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
attempting to move or handle.
• DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or
near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent
grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the
hood turn the fan off.
• NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or longsleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.
• ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool.
Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders.
ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must
be moved while hot, use a dry potholder.
• ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before
moving or replacing food.
• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only
as directed in this guide.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a
plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container.
The food could be contaminated

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
smoke, flare-
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.

Cooking Safety
(cont.)
• 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.
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.

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 customers of potential exposures to such substances. Users of this
appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean
cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances,
including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by
properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in
the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.
Important notice regarding pet birds:
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the
kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes
released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds.
Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated
non-stick cookware may be equally harmful
.
About Your Appliance
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the

Warnings
CAUTION
FALLING HAZARD
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit.
Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual,
therefore, children should be kept away.
WARNING
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.
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
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
FIRE HAZARD
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration
process to ensure that it does not catch fire.
