Drop-In Ranges
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.
For Freestanding end Slide-in
Ranges
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 the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this
procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.
For Drop-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, slide the range
forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the rear of the
range, and slide the range back so that the anti-tip bracket slides just under
the countertop or wood block attached to the rear wall.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call
1.800.561.3344. For installation instructions of the bracket, visit

COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite, resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop
service; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface
unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon as
power is restored. Inthe event of power loss, failure
to turn all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may
result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading
to serious injury or death.
[AWARNING ]RADIANT COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
(some models)
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface
of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have
been turned off.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be
scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,
rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If
the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite.
Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off
may cause them to ignite also.
Use CERAMABRY1-E_ ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and
CERAMABRYTE'_ Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light
goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a
hot surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception. They should be
scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a
scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for
detailed instructions.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream label.
[, WARNING ]COIL COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS (somemodels)
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units.
Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the
surface units in an oven. Doing so may cause them to
fail, presenting a burn or fire hazard.
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always
be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the
OFFposition and all coils are cool before attempting to lift
or remove a coil surface unit
4
i Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place.
Their absence during cooking could damage range
parts and wiring.
i Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans. Foil can trap
heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a
shock or fire hazard.

IAWARNINGIOVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Stand away from the range when opening the oven
door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns
to hands, face and/or eyes.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the
oven may ignite.
Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact hot heating element in oven.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow
the manufacturer's directions.
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps
prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door
and oven walls.
Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an
oven can ignite.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
Foilcan trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the
product and a shock or fire hazard
IAWARNING ISELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
(Some models)
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven.
Follow these instructions for safe operation.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,
shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the
oven. Only gray or black porcelain-coated oven racks
and drip pans may be left in the oven. Do not use
self-clean to clean other parts, such as shiny drip pans
or bowls.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and
food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease
may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off
and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
