READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING j 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
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
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.
Onlycertain types of glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitablefor cooktop
service;others may break becauseof 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.
j-& WARNING l 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.
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
Use CERAMA BRYTE®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.
i-&WARNING i COILCOOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
(some models)
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.
i Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place.
Their absence during cooking could damage range
parts and wiring.

[ WARNING [OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
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 rock 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 on
oven con ignite.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil
can trap heat or or melt, resulting in damage to the
product and a shock or fire hazard.
Never place cooking utensils or any other items on the
oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven
floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause the
oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and
risk of damage or fire to cabinets.
WARNING JSELF-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 porcelain-coated oven racks may be
left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other
parts, such us drip puns 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 o
qualified technician.
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to

Using the probe, consomemode sI
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature
probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact alonenessyou want.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.
