READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
■ Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop
can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on
clothing.
■ Do not place or store items that can melt or catch
fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being
used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they
may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after
it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
■ Use ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-scratch
cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the
cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out
before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot
surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE:
Sugar spills are an exception. They should
be scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt
and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop
section for detailed instructions.
■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the
cleaning cream label.
WARNING
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Stand away from the range when opening the oven
door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■ Do not use the oven if a heating element develops
a glowing spot during use or shows other signs
of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating
element may fail and present a potential burn, fire,
or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and
have the heating element replaced by a qualified
service technician.
■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in
the oven may ignite.
■ Place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■ Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of
the door and oven walls.
■ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in
an oven can ignite.
■ Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones,
or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These
items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to
the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
