WARNINGANTI-TIPDEVICE
All ranges can tip and injurycould result.
Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti- tip
device supplied.
If the Anti- tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti- 77p
device WB2X7909.
Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the kick panel or storage drawer
and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
If you pull the range out from the wall lbr any reason, make sure tile device is properly
engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of
tile range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open d_r.
Please refer m the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure m take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injury.
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Califomia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Govemor of Califomia to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injmy.
WARNING!
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Foodsplatter or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.
N Do not store flammable materials in
an oven or near tile c_ktop.
CAUtiON:Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on tile backsplash of a
range--children climbing on tile range
m reach items could be seriously irgured.
N Never wear loose41tting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching Ior items stored
over tile range. Flammable material could
be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surface units or heating elements and may
cause severe bums.
N Use only di T lx_t holders-moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns ['rom steam. Do not let pot holders
Much hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit by covering tile van completely with
a well41tting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-pu_se dry chemical or
Ibam-type fire extinguisher
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or;
if a_lable, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or [ham-type fire extinguisher

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element Theuse 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.
@ Never leave tile surface units unattended
at high heat setting. Boilovers cause
smoking and greas T spillove_s that may
catch on fire.
N Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containe*:s
are suitable lbr cooktop service; others
may break because of tile sudden change
in temperature.
N To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, tile handle of a container
should be turned toward tile center of
the range witilout extending over nearby
surface units.
@ Always turn tile surlSce units off belbre
removing cookware.
@ When preparing flaming tbods under

N Use care when touching tile c_ktop. The
glass surface of the cookmp will retain heat
_ter the controls have been turned oII:
N Keep an eye on foods being flied at high
or medium high heat setting.
N Foods for hTing should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat m bubble
up and over tile sides of the pan.
@ Use little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat [i_ing. Filling the pan mo full of fat carl
cause spillovers when lbod is added.
N If a combination of oils or lats will be
used in [i_ing, stir together beibre heating,
or as lats melt slowly.
{{{{1iAlways heat lat slowly, and watch as it heats.
@ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible m prevent overheating lat beyond
tile smoking point.
N Avoid scratching the glass cookmp.
Tile c_ktop can be scratched with items
such as sharp instruments, rin_ or other
jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
@ Do not operate tile radiant surface units if
tile glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass c_ktop become broken.
N Never use the glass cooktop surface as
a cutting board.
_;_Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cookmp, even
when it is not being used.
N Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cookmp surt:ace
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause burns.
@ (;lean the cookmp with caution. Ifa wet
sponge or cloth is used m wipe spills on a
hot surl:ace unit, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied m a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have c_led and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugarspills are theexception
tothis.Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
N When the cooktop is cool, use only
CERAMA BRYI'E ®Ceramic Cookmp
Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE ®
Cleaning Pad m clean the cookmp.
N To avoid possible damage m the cooking

residue.
N Read and lbllow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
NLarge scratches or impacts m glass doors
or cookmps can lead m broken or
shattered glass.
N Do not leave any items on the c_ktop.
Tim hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and will increase pressure
in closed containe*:s, which may cause
them to bur:st.
N Do not leave plastic or flammable items
on the cookmp--they may melt or ignite
if left too close to the vent.
N Do not lift the c_ktop. Lifting the

Good conductMry. _Muminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on tile
cookmp, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as .scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. Howevm; do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated

Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust
the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.
NOTE: Thisadjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be

Q
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80%fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" m contain at least 80% fht by weight. Low-Pat spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the
texture and flavor of baked goods. For hest results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or
stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
