IMPORTA#TSAFETY
I#STRUCTIO#S
WARNJNG_ To prevent
[ _J accidental tipping of the
range from abnormal
use, including excessive loading
of the oven door, attach the
range to the wail or floor by
installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied. If the range is moved
for cleaning, servicing or any
reason, be sure the Anti-Tip
device is re-engaged properly
when the range is slid back in
the opening. Failure to do so
could result in the range tipping
and may cause personal injury.
To inspect the Anti-Tip device,
remove the storage drawer and
look to see if the rear leg leveler
fully engages the slot in the
bracket.
important: To ensure safety for
yourself, family, and home, please
read your Use and Care Guide
carefully. Keep it handy for reference.
Pay close attention to Safety Sections.
BE SURE your appliance is installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
• DO NOT leave children alone or
unattended near an appliance in use.
•TEACH CHILDREN not to play with
controls or any part of the appliance,
and not to sit, climb or stand on the
door, or any other part of the
appliance.
*CAUTION: NEVER STORE items of
interest to children on the backguard
or in cabinets above the appliance.
Children climbing on the appliance
could be seriously injured.
* KEEP THIS book for later use.
* NEVER USE your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
* NEVER TRY to repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless
instructions are given in this manual.
All other work should be done by a
qualified technician.
* ALWAYS KEEP combustible wall
coverings, curtains, dishcloths,
towels, potholders, and other linens a
safe distance from the appliance.
* NEVER HEAT unopened food
containers. Pressure buildup can
cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
* NEVER LEAVE containers of fat or
drippings in your oven.
* ALWAYS KEEP the oven and
surface unit areas free from things
that will burn. Food, wooden utensils,
and grease buildup could catch fire.
Plastic utensils could melt and
canned foods could explode. Your
appliance should never be used as
a storage area.
* ALWAYS KEEP your appliance clear
of things that will burn (gasoline and
other flammable vapors or liquids).
* NEVER TRY to clean a hot surface.
Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes, and wet cloths or sponges
could cause steam burns.
* NEVER WEAR loose-fitting clothing
when using your appliance.
* NEVER USE a towel or other bulky
cloth as a potholder. Make sure the
potholder is dry. Moist potholders
and wet cloths or sponges could
cause steam burns. DO NOT let
potholders touch hot heating
elements.

iMPORTANTSAFETY
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 cool. 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
zones to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition, unintended contact, and
spillage.
*WHEN PREPARING flaming foods
under the vent hood, turn the fan on.
ONLY certain kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking. Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking
without breaking due to the sudden
temperature change.
ALWAYS USE care when
touching cooking zones. They will
retain heat after the range has been
turned off.
NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
behind the right rear cooktop
cooking zone.
COOKWARE USED for
cooktop cooking should be flat
on the bottom and large enough to
cover the cooking zone being used.
Undersized utensils expose the
cooking zone and may result in
direct contact or ignition of clothing.
The proper size utensil will also
improve efficiency.
*PLACE OVEN RACKS in the
desired position while the oven is
cool. If racks must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact the hot oven element.
*AFTER BROILING, always take the
broiler pan and grid out of the oven
and clean them. Leftover grease in
the broiler pan could catch fire the
next time you use your oven.
*ALWAYS USE care when opening
the oven door. Let hot air and steam
escape before moving foods.
*NEVER USE aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. Improper use of
foil could start a fire, or electrical
shock could result.

iMPORTANTSAFETY
iNSTRUCTiONS
*CLEAN ONLY the parts listed
in this manual. Follow all cleaning
instructions. Be sure to remove
broiler pan and grid before the
self-clean cycle.
*NEVER RUB, move, clean, or
damage the door gasket on self-
cleaning ranges. It is essential for
a good seal.
*NEVER TRY to clean utensils,
cookware, removable parts, or
broiler pan and grid in the self-
clean cycle.
*DO NOT USE oven cleaners--
No commercial oven cleaner or
protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
*IF THE SELF-CLEANING mode
malfunctions, turn the oven off and
disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
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 aself-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-clean cycle of any
range. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION NOWZ
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
2. If fire continues, carefully open the
door, throw baking soda on the
fire, or use a dry chemical, foam,
or halon-type extinguisher.

OPERATION
ProtectingtheCooktop
*DO NOT slide cookware across your
cooktop.
*DO NOT use a dishtowel or sponge
to clean or wipe your cooktop.
*DO NOT use scouring powders or
plastic, nylon, or metal cleaning pads
on your cooktop.
*DO NOT apply your cooktop
cleaning creme to the cooktop
surface if the surface is hot.
*READ the instruction label on the
cooktop cleaning creme bottle before
attempting to clean the surface of
your cooktop.

45° angle against the surface of the
cooktop to scrape remaining spill
from the hot cooking zone.
*DO NOT cook directly on the surface
of the glass.
*DO NOT use the cooktop as a cutting
board.
*DO NOT use a knife or any sharp
object on the cooktop seal around the
outer edge of the glass because it will
cut or damage it.
m
CAUTION: When the /
surfacecontrolsare /
turned off, the Hot |
Surface Indicator light will |
remain lit until the cooktop |
surface has cooled to |
approximately 150°F. The |
glass ceramic surface will |
retain heat after the indicator |
light goes out. Use caution |
until !he cooktop surface has |
had time to cool.
Sugar spills (such as jellies, fudge,
candy syrups) or melted plastic can
cause pitting of the cooktop surface
unless the spill is removed while it is still
hot. Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.
Follow these instructions carefully and
remove soil while spill is hot.
1, Turn off the cooking zone affected
by the spill. Remove the utensils.
2, Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor
scraper at a 45° angle against the
cooktop and scrape hot spill to a
cool area outside the cooking zone.
3, With spill in a cool area, use a dry
paper towel to remove the spillover.
Any spill remaining should be left
until the surface of the cooktop has
cooled. Do not continue to use the
soiled cooking zone until all of the
spill has been removed. Follow the
steps under For Heavy, Burned-on
Soil in the Glass-Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaning section to continue the
cleaning process.
