WARNING
• Storage In or On the Appliance -
Flammable materials should not be
stored in the oven, near surface
burners or elements, or in the stor-
age or warmer drawer (if provided).
This includes paper, plastic, and
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plas-
ticware and towels, as well as flam-
mable liquids. Do not store
explosives, such as aerosol cans, on
or near the appliance.
• Do not leave children alone - Chil-
dren should not be left alone or
unattended in the area where appli-
ance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance, including the storage
drawer, lower broiler drawer, warmer
drawer, or lower double oven.
• Do not store items of interest to chil-
dren in the cabinets above the appli-
ance or on the backguards of ranges.
Children climbing on or near the
appliance to reach items could be
seriously injured.
• Do not allow children to climb or
play around the appliance. The
weight of a child on an open oven
door may cause the appliance to tip,
resulting in serious burns or other
injury. An open drawer when hot
may cause burns.
• Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the
door or drawers of this appliance
can result in serious injuries and also
cause damage to the appliance.
• Never cover any slots, holes or pas-
sages in the oven bottom or cover
and entire rack with materials such

closely. Grease may catch fire if it
becomes too hot.
• Do not use water or flour on grease
fires.
• Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Cover the fire with a pan lid or use
baking soda.
• Only use dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating
elements or hot cooking areas. Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each sur-
face heating area. Place the cookware con-
taining food on the cooking area before
turning it on. Turn the cooking area off
before removing the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface ele-
ments. — To reduce the risk of burns, igni-
tion of flammable materials and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the uten-
sil, the handle of the cookware should be
positioned so that it is turned inward and
does not extend over other cooking areas.
Use proper pan size — This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select cookware with flat
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve efficiency.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain
types of cookware are suitable for cooktop
service and must be magnetic in order to
work properly on the induction zones.
Check the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions for cooktop use to ensure that the
cookware is compatible with induction
cooking.
Improper cookware may break due to sud-
den changes in temperature. Check the
cookware manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions for cooktop use.
Do not place metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cook-
top surface since they can become hot.
Never leave surface elements unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled
dry could be damaged and may damage
the cooktop
When you are flaming foods under a venti-
lating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface. Avoid
scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
• Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting
or hanging garments should never
be worn while using the appliance.
Do not let clothing or other flamma-
ble materials come into contact with
hot surfaces.
• Do not attempt to operate the appli-
ance during a power failure. If the
power fails, always turn off the appli-
ance. If the appliance is not turned
off, electric surface elements may
resume operation when power is
restored. Once the power is restored,
reset the clock and the oven func-
tion.
CAUTION
WARNING
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cook-
top. If cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified techni-
cian immediately.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,
aftermarket oven liners, or any other mate-
rials or devices to line oven bottom, oven
racks, or any other part of the appliance.
Only use aluminum as recommended for
baking, such as lining cookware or as a
cover placed on food. Any other use of pro-
tective liners or aluminum foil may result in
a risk of electric shock, fire or a short circuit.
Take care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod-
els). Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let
hot air or steam escape before you remove
food or place it back in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touch-
ing surfaces in this area when the oven is on
may cause severe burns. Do not place plas-
tic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in required position while the
oven is cool. If a rack has to be moved while
the oven is hot, do not let the potholder
come into contact with a hot burner or ele-
ment in oven. Use potholders and grasp the
rack with both hands when repositioning it.
Remove all cookware and utensils before
moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper cookware and
always use the oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN-
ING YOUR APPLIANCE
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all
parts free of grease that could catch fire. Do
not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mended directions when using kitchen
cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may
ignite causing damage and injury.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently, grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning ventilating hoods.
CAUTION
Make sure all controls are turned off and
that the appliance is cool before manually
cleaning any part of the appliance. Clean-
ing a hot appliance can cause burns.
