Important safety instructions

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

instruction may result in severe burns.

• If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self clean the oven before

using the oven again. Leaving the oil in place creates a risk of re.

• Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom with a paper tower or

rag before self cleaning. Self cleaning the oven when there is

heavy soil on the oven bottom requires longer cleaning cycles

and produces more smoke.

• Do not lean on the range as you may turn the control knobs

inattentively.

6 English

Important safety instructions

• Storage in or on the appliance. Do not store ammable

materials in the oven or near the surface units. Be sure all

cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned

off.

• 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.

• Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface

units of different size. Select pots and pans that have at

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 efciency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of ammable materials, or spillage due to

unintentional contact with utensils, position utensil handles so

that they are turned inward and do not extend over adjacent

surface units.

• Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware can

be used for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden

changes in temperature.

• Cleaning. Read and follow all instructions and warnings on

the cleaning cream labels.

• Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface

unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

• When preparing aming foods under the hood, turn the fan

on.

• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high

heat settings.

• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that

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.

Cooktop cooking

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.
