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 and 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 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call
1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit

,COOKING
Never cook directly on the glass,
Always use cookware.
About the radiant surface units...
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth gloss surface.
NOTE:A slight odor isnormal when a new
cooktop isusedfor the first time.It is caused
by theheating of new parts and insulating
materials and will disappearin a short time.
Thesurface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selectedcontrol setting.
It issafe to place hot cookwore from the oven
or surface on the gloss surface when the
surface is cool.
Evenafter the surface units ore turned off,the
gloss cooktop retains enough heat to continue
cooking.Toovoid over-cooking, remove pans
from the surface units when the food iscooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface unit
until it has cooled completely.
Water stains (mineraldeposits)are removable
using thecleaning cream or
full-strength white vinegar.
Useof window cleanermay leavean
iridescentfilm on the cooktop. Thecleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
Don't store heavy itemsabove the cooktop.If
they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
_, _hJ,_
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass-the glass is
scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit hasa temperature
limiter.
Thetemperature limiter protects the gloss
cooktop from getting too hot.
Thetemperature limiter may cycle the units off
for a time if.
Thepan boilsdry.
Thepan bottom isnot flaL
Thepan isoff center.
Thereisno pan on the unit.

Selecting types of cookwure.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
( 5/(
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are
not recommended.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Becauseof its low melting point,
thin-weight aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leaveresidues which can appear
as scratches.Theresidues can be removed,as
long asthe cooktop is cleaned immediately.
However, do not let these pots boil dry.
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.
An overheated copper bottom pot will leavea
residuethat will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
Aslong as the cookware is covered completely
with porcelain enamel, this cookware is
recommended. Caution isrecommended for
cast-iron cookware that is not completely
covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it
may scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable,but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:

iiii!
Not over Zinch
Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than
other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron
cookware are slow to absorb heat, but
generally cook evenly at low to medium heat
settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly ifnot
combined with other metals.
Forbest cooking results,pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the sizeof the surface unit.
Thepan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit more than 1 inch.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a fiat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your local
retailstore.
Donot usewoks that have support rings.Use
of these types of woks, with or without the ring
in place, can be dangerous.
Placingthe ring overthe surface unit will cause
a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Donot try to usesuch
woks without the ring.Youcould be seriously
burned ifthe wok tips over.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.

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.
Recipefailure can result if cakes,pies,pastries,
cookiesor candies are made with low fat
spreads.The lower the fat content of a spread
product, the more noticeable these differences
become.
Federalstandards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water. Thehigh
moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best resultswith your old favorite recipes,use
margarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheatthe oven if the recipe callsfor it.
Topreheat, setthe oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating isnecessaryfor good
resultswhen baking cakes,cookies,pastry and
breads.
On some models,the display will show "PRE"
while preheating. When theoven reachesthe
selectedtemperature, theoven control will beep
and the display will show theoven temperature.
Forovens without a preheat indicator light
or tone, preheat !0 minutes.
Bakingresultswill be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much as
possible.Pansshould not touch each other or
the walls of the oven. Ifyou need to usetwo
racks, stagger the pans soone is
not directly above the other, and leave
approximately !½" from the front
of the pun to the front of the rack.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms. Thefoil will trap heat below and
upset the performance of the oven. Foil
can melt and permanently damage the
oven bottom. Damage from improper use of
aluminum foil is not covered by the product
warranty
Foilmay be used to catch spills by placing
a sheet on a lower rack, several inches
below the food .Do not use more foil than
necessary and never entirely cover an oven
rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least
1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat
circulation.
Ifyour range isconnected
to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating
the broiler and positioning
the oven rack one position
higher.
