ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of
tipping the range, the
range must be secured
by a properly installed
anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions
shipped with the bracket for complete details
before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and
engaged properly, look underneath the
range to see that the rear leveling leg is
engaged in the bracket. On some models,
the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range
forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling
leg is under the anti-tip bracket.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the
range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious
burns to children or adults.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.

Operating the Cooktop Elements
WARNING FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range
unattended with the cooktop on. Keep flammable items
away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when done
cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire, serious injury or death.
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with
ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and
makes cleanup easier.
Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting
you want.
A knob indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.
For glass cooktop surfaces:
A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will:
■ comeonwhentheunitishottothetouch.
■ stayonevenaftertheunitisturnedoff.
■ stayonuntiltheunitiscooledtoapproximately150°F.
At both OFF and HI the control clicks
into position. You may hear slight
clicking sounds during cooking,
indicating the control is maintaining your
desired setting.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF
when you finish cooking.
Using the Warming Zone
WARNING
FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at
temperatures below 140°F.
■ Alwaysstartwithhotfood.Donotusewarmsettingto
heat cold food.
■ Donotusewarmsettingformorethan2hours.
The WARMING ZONE, located in the back center of
the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature.Alwaysstartwithhotfood.Donotuseto
heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the
WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.
To turn the WARMING ZONE on, turn knob clockwise to
the setting you want.
For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE should
be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow
moisture to escape.
The initial temperature, type and amount of food, type of
pan, and the time held will affect the quality of the food.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food
from the WARMING ZONE, since cookware and plates will
be hot.
Radiant Glass Cooktop
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is
used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short
time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is
normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or
cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the
glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your
selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even
when the cooktop is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid
overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the
food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit
until it has cooled completely.
■ Waterstains(mineraldeposits)areremovableusingthe
cleaning cream or full-strength white vinegar.
■ Useofwindowcleanermayleaveaniridescentfilmon
the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this film.
■ Don’tstoreheavyitemsabovethecooktop.Iftheydrop
onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
■ Donotusethesurfaceasacuttingboard.
Never cook directly on
the glass. Always use
cookware.
Always place the pan in the
center of the surface unit
you are cooking on.
Donotslidecookwareacrossthe
cooktop because it can scratch
theglass—theglassisscratch-
resistant, not scratch proof.

Pizza Oven Tips
Tips for Great Artisan and NY-Style Pizza
■Useapizzapeel.Woodenpeelsarebetterthanmetal
ones for preparing the pizza before it goes into the oven,
sincepizzadoughdoesn’tsticktowoodaseasily.Donot
store wooden pizza peel in your oven.
■Lightly flour the peel to prevent the dough from sticking
to it. Avoid putting too much flour on the peel, as it will
change the crust flavor and may smoke when the pizza
is put into the oven.
■After the dough has been placed on the peel, periodically
perform a “shake test” by lightly moving the peel back
and forth. If the dough sticks to the peel, add a bit more
flour.
■Uselow-moistureingredientstopreventyourslicesfrom
getting soggy. If you make sauce from canned or fresh
tomatoes, strain the excess liquid from the sauce before
spreading it on the pizza. If using mozzarella cheese,
select a low-moisture version.
■Top your pizza right before putting it into the oven. The
longer sauce sits on the dough, the more likely the
dough is to stick to the peel.
■Avoid the temptation to put too many toppings on your
pizza. It will make it harder to slide it off the peel and
onto the cooking surface.
■Watch your pizza like a hawk while it cooks. This oven
useshighheattocookpizzaquickly(~4minforan
Artisanpizza).

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
Upper Oven Pizza and Bread Cooking Surface
Wait for cooking surface to cool before cleaning and clean
cooking surface before each use. Only clean cooking
surfacewithwarmwaterandmilddishdetergent.Donot
use harsh cleaners, abrasives, steel wool or a brush with
steel bristles because this will scratch the cooking surface.
Useawetspongewithwarmsoapywatertowipeupany
hardeneddoughandpizzatoppings.Donotuseametal
scraper or abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the
cooking surface. We recommend the use of a plastic scraper
to remove baked-on soils from the cooking surface.
Wooden Pizza Peel
Scrape your wooden pizza peel for hardened dough and
pizza toppings using a plastic scraper. Never use a metal
scraperbecausethiswilldamagethewoodensurface.Usea
wet sponge with warm soapy water to sanitize your wooden
peel.DonotputthewoodenpizzaPeelinwatertoprevent
cracking or warping. You can air-dry your wooden pizza peel
onadishrack.Neverputthepeelinthedishwasher.Donot
use olive oil or any vegetable oil on your wooden pizza peel.
It will cause the wood to smell and will not prevent the dough
fromstickingtothesurfaceofthepeel.Donotuseyour
wooden pizza peel as a chopping or cutting board. Your,
knife, pizza wheel, or any sharp equipment that you use to
cut a pizza with will leave a scar on the surface. This will
result in the sticking of raw dough to your wooden pizza peel
preventing your pizza from not sliding into the oven.
