SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer. Wash hands after handling,
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. 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 heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces, such as
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of
oven doors, also get hot and may cause burns if not cooled.
•Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape from the oven
before removing or replacing food in the oven.

Foods that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled
in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more
than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking
iscomplete. Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNFORMATiON 7
•Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven off. If
the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher.
•Should an oven fire occur, DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be
explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
• DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid. DO NOT cover the grid with
aluminum foil.
•Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven resistant lids only.
•If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self clean the oven before using the oven
again. It could cause arisk of fire.

HS indicator will stay on until the surface has cooled to
approximately 150°F (66°C) or when the self clean cycle
ends.
-.- CAUTION
It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on and
off during cooking, even on higher settings. This
will happen more frequently if cooking on a lower
temperature setting.

USING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Using the proper cookware can prevent many problems,
such as food taking longer to cook or achieving
inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking
times and cook food more evenly. Stainless steel is
recommended.
Check pans for fiat boffoms by using a straight
edge or ruler
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.
2. Hold it up to the light.
3. No light should be visible under the ruler.
Home canning tips
Be sure that the canner is centered over the surface
unit and flat on the bottom.
,The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than
the element. Use of water bath canners with rippled
bottoms may extend the time required to bring the
water to a boil and cooktops may be damaged.
,Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use
on smooth top surfaces.
,Use the high heat setting only until the water comes to
a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.
,Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the
boil, or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the
cooktop may be damaged.
y NOTE
.Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not
only does this waste energy, but it can also result in
spillovers burning onto the cooking area.
,Only use flat bottomed cookware. Do not use
cookware that is oversized or uneven such as
round bottom woks, rippled bottom cookware, or
oversized canners and griddles.
,Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may
melt onto the glass. Do not use the cooktop if
metal has melted on it. Call an authorized Servicer.

Baking Tips
. Baking time and temperature will vary depending on
the ingredients, size, and shaped of the baking pan
used.
,Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time.
,Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick finish),
heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other ba keware
recommended for oven use.
,Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food
faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will
slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
_-.... NOTE
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet
on the rack below the rack you are cooking on. This
is particularly important when baking a fruit pie
or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods are highly acidic may cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface
and should be wiped up immediately.
PIZZA (For the Upper oven only)
Pizza is used when cooking pizza especially. Pizza
adds the oven from top to bottom to give more evenly
browned foods.
This is designed to give the most optimum cooking
performance for the pizza selected by automatic
combination of broil and bake heating system.
