INSTRUCTIONS
•DO NOT touch cooking zones,
surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces_ These may be hot enough
to cause burns even though they are
dark in color. During and after use,
do not touch or let clothing or
flammable material contact the
zones or hot surfaces until they have
had time to coot. Other surfaces
near the oven vent openings, oven
door and window, and cooktop
surfaces may also be hot enough to
cause burns.
• NEVER LEAVE cooking zones
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers result in smoking or
greasy spills which could catch fire.
• NEVER cook on a broken cooktop;
cleaning solutions and spillage could
penetrate it and create the risk of
electrical shock or fire. Contact a
qualified technician for repairs.
.ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other cooking

iMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE!
The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act requires
the governor of California to
publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause birth defects or
other reproductive harm and
requires businesses to warn their
customers of potential exposure to
such substances. The fiberglass
insulation in a self-cleaning oven
will give off a very small amount
of carbon monoxide during the
cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an
open door or window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
IMPORTANT: The health of
some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of
any range. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION NOW!
Be sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of fire.
Never use water on a grease fire;
it will only spread the flames.
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
Never pick up a flaming pan...
1. Turn off the surface elements
2. Smother the flame with a tightly
fitting lid, use baking soda, or
use a dry chemical, foam, or
halon-type extinguisher,
OVEN FIRE:
Do not try to move the pan!
1. Close the oven door and turn
controls off
21 If fire continues, carefully open the
door, throw baking soda on the
fire, or use a dry chemical, foam,
or halon-type extinguisher.

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
wilt 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 is tipped over.
A Hot Cooktop Indicator Light will
glow when any radiant element is
turned on, and will remain on until the
