Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray, Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a multi-puqose dry chemical Or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
● Do not touch the surface units, heating
elements or interior surface of oven. These
surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though
they are dark in color. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface
units or any interior area of the oven; allow
sufficient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and
areas facing the
cooktop, the oven vent opening
and surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door, the edges of the door window and
metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
● When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.
Oven
● Stand away from the range when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face antior eyes.
● Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.

“ Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
● Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
● Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact
the heating elements.
● Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods.
It is also a
precaution against bums from touching the hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
Q When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
● Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Q Do not use oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
● Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
● After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of
the range and clean it.
Leftover grease in the
broiler pan can catch on fire the next time you use
—
the pan.
● Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on
or near your range.
● Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the range.
Self-Cleaning Oven
● Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
● Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the
o~en when the self-clean cycle is used.
● Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
c Keep the range clean and free of accumulations
of grease or spillovers which may ignite.
● Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, rack and other cookware.
●
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven —
bottom or the cooktop, except as suggested
in this guide. Improper installation of aluminum
foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

;e sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
@ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have
it serviced by a
qualified technician.
Cooktop and Radiant Suflace Units
*
● Use proper pan size Select
~---- cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the selected
surface unit 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 units will also improve efficiency.
● Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
When the
cooktop is cool, use only Cook Top
Cleaning
Creme brand cleaner to clean the cooktop.
Jse care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.
● Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
● Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the 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 cooktop become broken.
● Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface.
The cooktop can be scratched with sharp
instruments, or with rings or other jewelry.
c Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
● Do not place or store items on top of the glass
cooktop surface when it is not in use.
● Do not stand on the glass cooktop.
● Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils
on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use.
They may become hot and
could cause burns.
● 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.
● Always turn the surface unit controls to off
before removing cookware.
● Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
● men flaming foods are under the hood, turn the
fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
● Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides
of the pan.
● Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
● If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
● Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
● Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
c Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
● To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply
Cook Top Cleaning Creme
to the glass surface when it is hot.
● After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove all Cook Top Cleaning
Creme residue.
● Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.

P~PAMTION
Installing
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle
into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When
moving the range on this type of flooring, it should be installed on a l/4-
inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows: Whel? the
.fioor covering er~dv ut the jkont of the range, the area the range will rest on
should be built
up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor
covering. This
wII1 allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.
Leveling
Use a lfi” open end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the 4 legs.
The flanges (rims)
beIow the sides of the cooktop must be raised above the
top of the countertop. Carefully slide the range into its installation space.
Observe that it is clearing the countertop. Then
place a spirit level or a glass
measuring cup partially filled with water on one of the oven shelves to
check for levelness. If using a spirit level, take two readings, with the
level
placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.
Adjust the 4 legs carefully. Level the range front to back and side to
side. The range legs must rest on the floor. The range must not hang from
the countertop.

Removing Packaging Materials
Please check your range to insure all packaging materials and protective
tape covering are removed from areas, such as the door trim, cooktop
frame, etc. before using.

How It Works
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on
the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
and changes heat settings right away, like a gas
cooktop. After turning the control
off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best
cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of
warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
continue c;}oking for a short time after they are turned off.
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if vou want the cooking to stop.
Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

General Information About Radiant Surface Units
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by
outlines on the glass.
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean
it with Cook Top Cleaning Creme. This helps
protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
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.
When a surface unit is turned on, coils beneath the
surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the
cookware. The red glow of the coils will be visible
through the glass. It will take the surface unit a few
moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to
maintain your selected control setting. With poor
cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit
off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize
the cycling.
Use only flat-bottomed cookware. Do not let pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass
cooktop. An
overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will
permanently stain the glass,
Sliding aluminuln cookware across the glass may
leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear as
small scratches. They can be removed with Cook
Top
Cleaning Creme and a razor scraper.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass surface when the surface is
cool.
Avoid sliding pans on the glass cooktop. Pan edges
that
are even slightly rough or grit on the cooktop can
cause scratches on the glass.
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.

The Hot Surface I.ights will stay lit until the cooktop is
cool enough to touch. It is not unusual for the lights to
stay lit for 30 minutes.

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to a boil.

“edium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
~D) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on
large amounts of food.
MED—Saut6 and brown; maintains a slow boil on
large amounts of food.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED
and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little
water in covered pan.
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving
temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and
simmering.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of
surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned
on, surface temperatures are high so be careful
when touching the
cooktop. The four hot surface
indicator lights will remain lit after the surface units
are off until the
cooktop is cool enough to touch.
NOTE:
● At HI, Medium High settings, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.
● At LO settings, melt chocolate and butter on a
small surface unit.
● When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be
seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red
glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the
selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you
will
see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good,
flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the

SU~ACE COOKWAm TWS
pes of Cookware
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel: highl) rec~rnrnended
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless
steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,
even heat distribution).
Aluminum: he(lv} kvei~ht reco~nmended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes
appear
as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed
if cleaned immediately. Because of its
low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.
Cast Iron: usable, but not recommet~ded
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Copper Bottom:
Good performance, but copper may leave residues
which can appear as scratches.
The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately.
However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal
can bond to glass
cooktops. An overheated copper pot will
leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop.
Porcelaidenamel: Good performance only with a
thick, flat, smooth bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as
porcelain can melt and fuse to the surface.
Glass-ceramic: l~sable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
How to Check Pan Performance
Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking
performance and cleaning of your cooktop.
The correct cookware reduces the temperature of
the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of
‘lovers burning onto the cooktop.
.~u must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.
Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or
may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of
your pans you may do this quick test.
Turn your pan upside down on
the countertop, place a ruler flat
against the pan surface. The *
b~ttom of the pan and the
straight edge of the ruler should
fit flush against each other all the way across.
Turn the ruler a full 360 degrees, checking for any
space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms
are not recommended.
Another simple test to determine even heat distribution
across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water in
the pan. Bring the water to a boil
and observe the location
of bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good flat cookware
will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom
surface area of the pan. Bubbles localized in only a portion
of the bottom indicate uneven contact of the pan to the
surface unit, uneven heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.
Use pans that match the diameter of the surface unit.
Cooking performance will not be as good if the
cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface unit.

FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER
However, when canning with water-bath or pressure THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and
canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher
because boiling water temperatures (even under than boiling water. Such temperatures could

L
surrounding the surface units.
Observe the Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface
unit. If your cooktop or its location does not allow
the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use
smaller diameter pots for good canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they don’t make
enough contact with the surface units and take
too long to boil water.
RIGHT
WRONG
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may take
longer than expected, even though directions have been
carefully followed. The process time will be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating
of large quantities of water.
Glass Cooktop Cautions:
Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms
are destroyed and that the jars are sealed
completely. When canning foods in a water-bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained
for the required time. When canning foods in a
pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained
for the required time.
After you have adjusted the controls, it is very
important to make sure the prescribed boil or
pressure levels are maintained for the required time.
The glass cooktop surface units have temperature
limiters that prevent the glass cooktop from getting
too hot. If the bottom of your canner is not flat, the
surface unit can overheat, triggering the
temperature limiters to turn the unit off for a time.
This will stop the boil or reduce the pressure in
the canner.
Since you must make sure to process the canning
jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption
in processing time, you cannot can on any of
the
cooktop surface units if your canner is not
flat enough.
What is a Temperature Limiter?
Every radiant surface unit has a Temperature
Limiter. The Temperature Limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
The TenlperatLlre Limiter may turn off the
elements if:
● The pan boils dry.
● The pan bottom is not flat.
● The pan is off center.
● There is no pan on the unit.

SU~ACE CLEANING
Glass Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning
Cleaning of glass ceramic cooktops is different from
cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and
protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop
follow these basic steps.
DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning
Creme on Glass Ceramic.
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of Cook Top Cleaning
Creme onto the soiled area using a damp paper
towel. Wipe until all soil and creme are removed.
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating
which
is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
2. Clean the surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme
after each use.
For heavy, burned on soil:
1. Apply
a few drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme to
the (cool) soiled area.
2. Using a damp paper towel, rub creme into the
burned on area.
3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with the razor
scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle against the
ceramic surface.
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.
For additional protection, after all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface with the Cook
Top Cleaning Creme.
5. Buff with a dry paper towel.
NOTE:
● Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface
if the 30° angle is maintained.
● Be sure to use a new, sharp razor blade.
Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
s Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.
Special Care:
Sugary spillovers
(such as jellies, fudge, candy
syrups) or
melted plastics can cause pitting of the
surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty)
unless the spill is removed while still hot.
Special
care should be taken when removing hot
substances.
Follow these instructions carefully and
remove the soil while the spill is still hot.
1. Turn off all the surface units affected by the
spillover. Remove hot pans.
2. ~’earing an oven mitt, hold the razor ~,, i,;~
&
scraper at a 30° angle to the Cooktop -~; ~~!”’ ~~•”=.,,
and scrape the hot spill to a COO1 area-
outside the surface unit.
3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to
remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should
be left until the surface of the
cooktop has cooled.
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit
until all
of the
spillover has been removed. Follow the steps
under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.
General Information:
As the Cook Top Cleaning
Creme cleans, it
leaves a protective coating on the
cooktop surface.
This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral
deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning
easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this protective
coating and therefore make the
cooktop more
susceptible to staining.

PRECAUTIONS
● MOSI cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and
abrasives which can damage the surface of your
cooktop. Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme
for proper cleaning and protection of your glass
ceramic surface.
● If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across
the surface of your
cooktop, they may leave metal
markings which appear as scratches. If this should
happen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to
remove these markings. Failure to remove these
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.
● Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using
Cook Top Cleaning Creme or full strength white vinegar.
● If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper, or
enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may
bond with the glass ceramic and leave a black
discoloration. This should be removed immediately
before heating again or the discoloration may be
permanent.
● Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film
on
the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme will
remove this discoloration.

properly to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new range.
NOTE:
. YOU may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in
a new oven and will disappear in a short time. To
speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a
minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
