SAFETY  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
SURFACE COOKING UNITS  
O V E N  
• Use Proper Pan Sizes. This appliance is equipped with  
one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils  
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit  
heating element.  
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR  
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements  
may be hot even though they are dark in color. 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 heating elements or interior  
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.  
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to  
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings  
and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows  
of oven doors.  
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the  
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition  
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will  
also improve efficiency.  
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High  
Heat Settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers that may ignite.  
• Use Care When Opening Door. Let hot air or steam  
escape before you remove or replace food in the oven  
• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed  
utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking  
due to the sudden change in temperature.  
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Build-up of  
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.  
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not  
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce the  
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage  
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of  
a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,  
and does not extend over adjacent surface units.  
• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line the  
oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper  
installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric  
shock or fire.  
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent  
is located above the left rear surface unit. this area could  
become hot during oven use. Never block this vent and  
never place plastic or heat-sensitive items on vent  
Be sure you know which control pads operate each surface  
unit.  
Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.  
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in  
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved  
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating  
element in oven.  
• Do Not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact  
heating elements.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS  
GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING  
SURFACES  
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket. The door gasket is essential  
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or  
move the gasket.  
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS  
NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they  
are dark in color.  
Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause  
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or  
other flammable materials contact surface units or areas  
near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.  
Among these areas are identification of areas – for  
example, the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.  
• Do 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.  
• Clean in the self-clean cycle only parts listed in this  
manual. Before self-clean the oven, remove the broiler  
pan and any utensils of foods from the oven.  
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven. Remove broiler pan  
and other utensils.  
• Do Not Cook on Broken CookTop. If cooktop should  
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the  
broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact  
a qualified technician immediately.  
• Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of  
birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes released during an  
oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to  
birds. Move birds to well-ventilated room.  
• Clean CookTop With Caution. If a wet sponge or cloth  
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to  
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
• Important Instruction. In the event the self-clean mode  
F code goes on, or three long beeps sound, oven is  
malfunctioning in the self-clean mode. Turn off or  
disconnect appliance from power supply and have serviced  
by a qualified technician.

on the cooking surface after the area is heated.  
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as  
safe for oven and cooktop use.  
• Always use 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.  
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may  
melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.  
• Food should be kept in its container and covered  
with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.  
• Do not warm food on the warming zone for more  
than 2 hours.  
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a  
permanent stain.  
To Prevent Other Damages  
Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content  
to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean  
immediately. (See Cleaning pages 29~30.)  
Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and  
pan.  
• Placing uncooked or cold food on the warming zone  
could result in foodborne illness.  
Do not use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.  
Do not cook food directly on the surface.

SURFACE CONTROLS COOKING  
SMOOTHTOP SURFACE  
COOKING AREAS  
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent  
circles on the smoothtop surface. For the most efficient  
cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.  
Smoothtop Surface Notes:  
Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few  
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.  
Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch  
beyond the cooking area.  
Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of  
time after the elements are turned off. Turn the  
elements off a few minutes before food is completely  
cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking.  
When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will  
cool down enough to touch. Because of the way they retain  
heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes  
in settings as quickly as coil elements.  
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the  
smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to  
maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.  
For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware  
Recommendations.  
• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from  
the cooking surface.  
Warming zone  
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.  
• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is  
hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface  
cools.

USING THE PROPER COOKWARE  
HOME CANNING TIPS  
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such  
as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent  
results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food  
more evenly. Stainless steel is recommended.  
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.  
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.  
The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the  
element. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms  
may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil and  
cooktops may be damaged.  
Check pans for flat bottoms by  
using a straight edge or ruler  
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on  
smooth top surfaces.  
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the

pan.  
2. Hold it up to the light.  
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil,  
or pressure. If the heat is not turned down,the cooktop may  
be damaged.  
3. No light should be visible under the  
ruler.  
Recommended  
Incorrect  
Flat bottom and

bottom.  
• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only  
does this waste energy, but it can also result in  
spillovers burning onto the cooking area which  
requires extra cleaning.  
Note:  
• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized  
or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled  
bottom, and/or oversized canners and griddles.  
• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt  
onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not  
use. Call an authorized Service agent.
