ANTI-TIP DEVICE
WARNING
WARNING - To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by a properly installed Anti-Tip device. AFTER THE RANGE
HAS BEEN INSTALLED, CONFIRM THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE
HAS BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-
TIP DEVICE IS PROPERLY ENGAGED. Refer to the installation manual
for instructions.
a) If the anti-tip device is not installed, a child or adult can tip the range
and be killed.
b) Verify the anti-tip device has been properly installed and engaged at
rear right (or rear left) of the range bottom.
c)
If you move the range and then move it back into place, ensure the
anti-tip device is re-engaged at the right or left rear of the range bottom.
d) Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and
engaged.
e) Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
WARNING WARNING
Do not step, lean, or sit on the doors of the range. You can cause
the range to tip, resulting in burns or serious injuries.
Confirm that the Anti-Tip device is installed properly. Then, to verify that
the Anti-Tip device is engaged, grasp the top rear edge of the range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward. The Anti-Tip device should prevent the
range from tilting forward more than a few inches.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the anti-
tip device is properly engaged when you push the range back against
the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and
causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

INDUCTION COOKTOP ELEMENTS
Be sure you know which touch control operates each surface
heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and
turn the unit o before removing the pan.
Use proper pan sizes - This appliance is equipped with surface units of
dierent sizes. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface area of the heating element. Using undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or
pan to the burner will also improve eciency.
Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, cookware handles should be positioned so that they are
turned inward, and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
Glazed Cookware - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings -
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be
placed on the Induction Cooktop surface since they can get hot.
When preparing flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the
fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the
cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned o.
Always turn the surface units o before removing cookware.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop
surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware.

Do not warm food in the drawer for more than three hours.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. Birds are extremely sensitive
to the fumes released during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be
harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to a well-ventilated room.
Clean only the parts listed in this manual in the self-clean cycle.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the partition, rack, utensils, and
food.
Do not use any commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating
of any kind in or on the outside of the oven. Use only a ceramic cooktop
cleaner or the cleaner supplied with this appliance to clean the glass
cooktop.
Remove the nickel oven shelves from the oven before you begin the self-
cleaning cycle, or they may discolor.
If the self-clean mode malfunctions, turn the oven o and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Excess spillage must be removed before cleaning.
VENTILATING HOOD
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Do not let grease accumulate on
the hood or filter.
