_ mportantSafetyInstructions
General
• Read all instructions before
using the range.
• Install or locate the range
only in accordance with
the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must
be installed by a qualified
installer. The range must be
properly connected to

grounded.
•WARNING: To reduce the risk
of tippin.g of the appliance,
the apphance must be
secured by anti-tip fasteners.
To check if the appliance is
installed properly, open the
oven door and verify that the
range issecured to cabinets
with four screws through the
mounting holes in the front
frame of the oven.
.CAUTION: Do not store things
children might want above
the range. Children could be
burned or injured while
climbing on it.
•Do not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
range is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the
range. They could be burned
or injured.
• Do not operate the range if it is
damaged or not working
properly.
• Do not use the range for
warming or heating the room.
Persons could be burned or
injured, or a fire could start.
• Use the range only for its
intended use as described in
this manual.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS,
AREAS NEAR UNITS, HEATING
ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN. Surface
units and heating elements may
be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near
surface units and interior
surfaces of an oven become
hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact
surface units, areas near units,
heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the range
may become hot enough to
cause burns; such as, the oven
vent opening, the surface near
the vent opening, the cooktop,
the oven door and window.

_nderstanding Range Safety
•Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the
range. They could ignite if they
touch a hot surface unit and
you could be burned.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist
or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a potholder.
It could catch on fire.
• Keep range vents
unobstructed.
•Do not heat unopened
containers. They could
explode. The hot contents
could cause burns and
container particles could
cause injury.
• Do not store flammable
materials on or near the range.
The fumes can create an
explosion and/or fire hazard.
• Do not repair or replace any
part of the range unless
specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to a
qualified technician.
• DisConnect the electrical
supply before servicing the
range.
When usinGlthe cooktop
• Do not cook on a broken glass
ceramic cooktop. If cooktop
should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical
shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
•Select a pan with a fiat bottom
that is about the same size as
the surface unit. If pan is
smaller than the surface unit,
some of the heating element
will be exp..osed and may result
in the ignffing of clothing or
potholders. Correct pan size
also improves cooking
efficiency.
• Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of
glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for
cooktops without breaking due
to the sudden change in
temperature.
• Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat
settings. A boilover could result
and cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
•Turn pan handles inward, but
not over other surface units.
Thiswill help reduce the
chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills
due to bumping of the pan.

_nderstanding Range Safety
•Grease isflammable. Do not
allow grease to collect around
or
cooktop in vents. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
d
• Do not use water on grease
fires. Never pick up a flaming
pan. Smother flaming pan on
range by covering with a well-
fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. Flaming grease outside of
pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a
multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
• Clean glass ceramic cooktop
with care. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface. If a
wet paper towel is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid
steam burns.
When using the oven
• Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be
removed while oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact hot
heating element in oven.
• Use care when opening oven
door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or
replacing food.
•Small amounts of formal-
dehyde and carbon monoxide
are given off in the Self-
Cleaning cycle from fiberglass
insulation and food
decomposition. Significant
exposure to these substances
can cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Exposure
can be minimized by venting
with a hood or open window
and wiping out excess food
spills prior fo self-cleaning.
•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.
• Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks and other utens_s.
Do not use your oven to clean
miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this
Use and Care Guide.
• Do not clean door gasket. It is
essential for a goodseal. Care
should be taken not to rub,
damage or move the gasket.
Clean only parts recom-
mended in this Use and
Care Guide.

Cooking on the glass ceramic cooktop is
almost the same as cooking on conventional
surface units. There are, however, a few
differences:
• The glass ceramic cooktop may take
slightly longer to heat up than a coil
surface unit. Itwill also take a littlelonger
to cool down.
•You will see the element cycling on
(glowing red) and off to maintain the
proper temperature setting you have
selected. You may even see some cycling
when the control knob is set at HI.
• The surface units on the rightside of the
cooktop feature halogen elements. These
elements light up as soon as you turn them
on, and are brighter than conventional coil
elements.
•Sliding metal pans on the glass ceramic
cooktop surface could leave marks. (See
"How to keep your cooktop looking like
new" on page 12 for cleaning information.)
Burn and Fire Hazard
Be sure all control knobs are turned to
OFF and the Power On Light(s) is OFF
when you are not cooking.
Someone could be burned or a fire could
start if a surface unit is accidentally left
ON.

Using and Caring for YourCooktop
Cookware tips
•Select a pan that isabout the same size
as the surface unit.
• NOTE: For best results and greater
energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed
utensils that make good contact with the
surface units. Utensils with rounded,
warped, ribbed (porcelain enamel-ware) or
dented bottoms could cause severe
overheating, which damages the utensil
and/or surface unit.
Woks, canners and teakettles with flat
bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop
are now available in most stores that sell
housewares.
•The pan should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting lid.
•Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
•The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how fast heat transfers from the surface
unitthrough the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.
Choose pans that provide the best cooking
results.
•Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached
to the pan.
•With your hand, feel the bottom of your
pans while they are cool for nicks and
scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan
bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic
cooktop.
•Make sure bottoms of pans are clean and
dry before using on cooktop.
•Avoid spillovers on cooktop. Use pans
with tall sides.
Do not cook food directly on cooktop.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface
unit.
The utensil can overheat and may dam-
age the utensil or surface unit.
Home canning information
•Use the largest surface unit for best
results. Also, use a canner/pan which can
be centered over the surface unit.
•Start with hot water. This reduces the time
the control is set on high. Reduce heat
setting to lowest position needed to keep
water boiling.
