IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
• Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook tops or control panels.
Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken
glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.
• Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum
safe food temperature recommendations are provided by the USDA and
FDA. Use a food thermometer to take food temperatures and check several
locations.
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
• Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop,
including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes
and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance.
These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on the hood or filter.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS
TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
• 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 the pan
completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the
oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
• 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.
• 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. In the 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.
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-scratch 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
OVEN 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.
• Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use
or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating
element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the
oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualified
service technician.
• 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.
• Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or
liner on the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in
damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range unattended with
the cooktop ON. Keep flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all
controls when done cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fire, serious injury or death.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Using the radiant surface units
About the radiant surface units
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on.
With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution
when touching the cooktop. An indicator light will come on when the surface
unit is turned on. The appropriate HOT surface indicator light will glow when its
corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface
has cooled below 65.5°C (150°F).
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.
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.
Note: On cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or
cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room
temperature.
WARNING
Never cook directly on the
glass. Always use cookware.
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
Do not slide cookware across the
control or cooktop surface
because it can scratch the glass.
The glass is scratch-resistant,
not scratch proof.

10 www.insigniaproducts.com
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.
• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream.
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The
cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.
• Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop,
they can cause damage.
• Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Temperature limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units for a time if:
• The pan boils dry.
• The pan bottom is not flat.
• The pan is off center.
• There is no pan on the unit.
Selecting types of cookware
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.

11
4-Burner Electric Range
www.insigniaproducts.com
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. 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. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An
overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain
the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Porcelain enamel-covered cast iron:
Recommended
As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended 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:
Usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Home canning tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from
manufacturers such as Ball®and Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

12 www.insigniaproducts.com
Surface cookware tips
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good
performance on coil cooktops.
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 if not combined with other metals. For best cooking
results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the
size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the surface
unit more than 2.5 cm (1 inch).
Wok cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at
your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or
without the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a buildup of heat that will
damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned if the wok tips over.

The oven has 5 rack positions. It also has a
special lower rack position (R) for extra large
items, such as a large turkey.

16 www.insigniaproducts.com
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front
and push the rack in.
When you are using a rack in the lowest position (R), you will need to use caution
when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of
it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle
of the rack and pull all the way out.
Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the
lowest position (R).
How to set the oven for baking or roasting
1Touch the BAKE pad.
2Touch the +or –pads until the desired temperature is displayed.
3Touch the START/ON pad.
The oven will start automatically. The display will show “PRE” while
preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven
control will beep and the display will show the oven temperature.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, touch the BAKE pad and
then the +or –pads to get the new temperature.
4Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if
necessary.
5Touch the OFF pad when baking is finished and then remove the food from
the oven.
The oven has a special lower rack (R) position
just above the oven bottom. Use it when
extra cooking space is needed, for example,
when cooking a large turkey. The rack is not
designed to slide out at this position.

Preheating and pan placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry and breads.
The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your
set temperature. This will take approximately 15–20 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least
1" to 1½” of air space around it.
Aluminum foil and oven liners
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven
bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the
product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may 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.
