Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety symbols and

statements. Please pay special attention to

these symbols and follow any instructions

given. Here is a brief explanation of the use

of the symbol.

General

This symbol alerts you

to hazards such as fire,

electrical shock, or

other injuries.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, injury to persons, or damage

when using the range, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

• 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

electrical supply and grounded.

oWARNING: To reduce the risk

of tipping the appliance, the

appliance must be secured by a

properly installed anti=tip bracket.

To check if the bracket is in-

stalled properly, see "The anti=tip

bracket" on page 8.

• 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 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, such

as the oven vent opening, the

surface near the vent opening, the

cooktop, and the oven door and

window, could also become hot

enough to cause burns.

__nge Safely

oDo not operate the range if it is

damaged or not working properly.

oDo 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.

oUse only dry pot holders. Moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces

could result in burns from steam.

Do not let pot holder touch hot

heating elements. Do not use a

towel or bulky cloth for a pot

holder. It could catch on fire.

oKeep range vents unobstructed.

oDo not heat unopened containers.

They could explode. The hot

contents could cause burns and

container particles could cause

injury.

oUse only cookware approved for

oven use. Follow cookware manu-

facturer's instructions, especially

when using glass or plastic

cookware.

oDo not store flammable materials

on or near the range. The fumes

could create an explosion and/or

fire hazard.

oDo 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.

oDisconnect the electrical supply

before servicing the range.

When using the cookfop

oDo not cook on a broken ceramic

glass cooktop. If cooktop should

break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers could penetrate the

broken cooktop and create a risk

of electrical shock. Contact a

qualified technician immediately.

oSelect a pan with a flat 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 exposed

and could result in the igniting of

clothing or pot holders. Correct

pan size also improves cooking

efficiency.

oCheck to be sure glass cookware

is safe for use on the range. Only

certain types of glass, glass-

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,

or other glazed cookware are

suitable for cooktops without

breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature.

oNever leave surface units un-

attended at high heat settings.

A boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spillovers

that could ignite.

oTurn pan handles inward, but not

over other surface units. This will

help reduce the chance of burns,

igniting of flammable materials,

and spills due to bumping of

the pan.

__nge Safety

oGrease is flammable. Do not

allow grease to collect around

cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-

overs immediately.

oDo not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Smother flaming pan on range

by covering with a well-fitting 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.

oClean ceramic glass cooktop

with care. Some cleaners could

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

oSmall amounts of formaldehyde

and carbon monoxide are given

off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from

fiberglass insulation and food

decomposition. Significant expo-

sure to these substances could

cause cancer or reproductive

harm. Exposure can be minimized

by venting with a hood or open

window and wiping out excess

food spills prior to self-cleaning.

oDo 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.

oBefore self-cleaning the oven,

remove broiler pan, broiler grid,

oven racks, and other cookware.

Do not use your oven to clean

miscellaneous parts unless you

are instructed to do so in this Use

and Care Guide.

• 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 pot

holder contact hot heating ele-

ments in oven.

oDo not clean door gasket. It is

essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, dam-

age, or move the gasket. Clean

only parts recommended in this

Use and Care Guide.

oUse care when opening oven door.

Let hot air or steam escape before

removing or replacing food.

Usingthe surface units

_RO_T

Control knobs

Push in control knobs before turning them

to a setting. Set them anywhere between HI

and OFF.

Hot surface indicatorlights

The Hot Surface Indicator Lights on the

cooktop surface will glow

when the surface units get

hot. The Indicator Lights will

continue to glow as long as

the surface units are too hot

to touch, even after they are

turned off.

("CHAUD" is

French for

"HOT")

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done

cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death,

"Using and Caring forYour Cooktop

Using the dual-size surface unit

(some models)

You can use the left front surface unit as

either a small diameter, lower wattage

element or large diameter, full wattage

element.

Use both elements

for larger pans

Use small element

for smaller pans

To use the small element

(for smaller pans):

•Push in and turn the control knob to the

left (counterclockwise) to the desired

setting in the area marked "SINGLE."

To use both elements

(for larger pans):

• Push in and turn the control knob to the

right (clockwise) to the desired setting in

the area marked "DUAL."

NOTE: You can turn the control knob in

either direction to reach "OFF."

The ceramic glass cooktop

Standard Hot surface Halogen

elements indicator elements

Dual element lights (some

(optional) models)

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is

almost the same as cooking on coil surface

units. There are, however, a few differences:

•The cooking surface area will glow red

when the element is turned on. You will

see the element cycling on and off- even

on the HI setting - to help the area stay at

the temperature setting you choose.

•Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans

are clean and dry before cooking. Food

and water particles left on the bottoms can

leave deposits on the cooktop when it is

heated.

• Wiping off the cooktop before and after

each use will help keep the surface free

from stains and give you the most even

heating. See pages 12 and 13 for care

and cleaning suggestions.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

• Lift pots and pans onto and off of the

cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the

cooktop could leave marks that are difficult

to remove or could leave permanent marks.

• Do not cook popcorn that comes in

prepackaged aluminum containers on the

cooktop. The container could leave alumi-

num marks on the cooktop that cannot be

removed completely.
