FOR YOUR SAFETY
When using electrical appliances, you should follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
CAUTION
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in
this Owner’s Manual.
• Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the
cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices
around the oven door.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualied technician.
User servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specically recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualied technician.
Always disconnect the power to the appliance before servicing
by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
• Do not enter the oven.
• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a
range or on the back guard of a range. Children climbing on
the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not leave children alone. Never leave children alone or
unattended in an area where this appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease res. Turn off the oven to avoid
spreading the ames. Smother the re or ames by closing
the door or use a dry chemical, baking soda, or foam-type
extinguisher.
• Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or control
panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a
product with broken glass. Shock, re, or cuts may occur.
• If there is a re in the oven during self clean, turn the oven
off and wait for the re to go out. Do not force the door
open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may
lead to a burst of ame from the oven. Failure to follow this

Before you begin
Before you begin
Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for the rst time. Then, remove the
accessories, set the oven to bake, and then run the oven at 400 °F for 1 hour.
There will be a distinctive odor. This is normal.
Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.
Energy saving tips
• During cooking, the oven door should remain closed except when you turn
food over.
Do not open the door frequently during cooking to maintain the oven
temperature and to save energy.
• If cooking time is more than 30 minutes, you can switch the oven off
5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time to save energy. The residual
heat will complete the cooking process.
• To save energy and reduce the time needed for re-heating the oven, plan oven
use to avoid turning the oven off between cooking one item and the next.
• Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.

About cooktop cooking
CAUTION
BEFORE COOKING
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch re on the glass cooktop,
even when it is not being used.
• Turn the surface units on only after placing cookware on them.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and
damage it.
CAUTION
DURING COOKING
• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the range when it is in use. The hot air
from the vent could melt plastics or ignite ammable items.
• Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
• Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on re.
• Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and
be very difcult to remove.

CAUTION
AFTER COOKING
• Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
• The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass
surface before it has cooled down sufciently.
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaners,
chore later.
• If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure
that the items are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area
subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile
liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
About the radiant surface elements
The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant
element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle
on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the off cycle. For efcient cooking, turn off the element
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even
at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at
the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not at.

Hot surface indicator
• Comes on when the unit is turned on or hot to the touch.
• Stays on even after the unit is turned off.
• Glows until the unit is cooled to approximately 150 °F.
Cooking areas
• The cooking areas on your range are identied by permanent circles on the
glass cooking surface. For the most efcient cooking, t the pan size to the
element size.
• Pans should not extend more than ½” to 1” beyond the cooking area.
• When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooking
surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting,
even at high settings.
• For more information on selecting proper types of cookware, refer to the
section “Using the proper cookware” on page 20.

Using the proper cookware
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or
extended cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook
food more evenly.
Check for atness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight tting lids.
• Weight of handle does not tilt
pan.
• Pan is well balanced.
• Pan size matches the amount
of food to be prepared and the
size of the surface element.
• Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
Always match pot diameter to
element surface diameter.
Curved and warped pan bottoms.
Pan overhangs element by more
than one-half inch.
Pan is smaller than element.
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Using the warming center
The Warming Center, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot,
cooked food at serving temperature.
NOTE
The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements.
CAUTION
• Do not warm food on the warming center for more than two hours.
• U
se only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming
center as cookware and plates will be hot.
• When warming pastries and breads, the cover should have an opening to
allow moisture to escape.
• Always start with hot food. Eating uncooked or cold food placed on the
warming center could result in illness.
1. Turn the warming center on. Press the Warming Center On/Off pad.
2. Select the power setting you want. Pressing the Warming Center Level pad
once will set it to the Lo setting.
Press the pad twice for the Med setting, 3 times for Hi.
3. Turn the warming center off. Press the Warming Center On/Off pad.
NOTE
• Pressing the OFF/CLEAR pad does not turn the warming center off.
• For best results, all foods on the warming center should be covered with a
lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be
vented to allow moisture to escape.
