This option clears the user data entered during the setup
process. Use this function if you need to enter new user
information, for example, when the range is sold to a new
owner. After the data is cleared, the screen jumps imme-
diately to Oven Setup so that the new user data can be

• Keep the area around the cooktop clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
• Always check the position of the control knobs to make sure the cooktop is off when you are finished cooking.
• Do not operate the cooktop without all the burner components in place. If the burner ring and cap are not properly seated, the burner
may not operate correctly. See page 8 for assembly instructions.
• Never light the burners with a match or other open flame.
IMPORTANT:
• Avoid spills as much as possible. The porcelain surfaces of the grates, spill trays and burner caps are acid-resistant but
not acid-proof. Some foods can cause permanent damage if allowed to remain on porcelain surfaces.
• To keep the burners operating properly, keep the burner igniters, burner rings and burner caps clean and dry. See page
49 for cleaning instructions.
Selecting the Cookware
Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent damage to
the coated surfaces.
For overall safety and best performance, select the cor-
rect cooking utensil for the food being cooked. Improperly
selected cooking utensils will not cook evenly or efficiently.
Use cookware that:
• Has flat, smooth bottoms and is well balanced
• Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in

WARNING
• To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles to
a position where they cannot be easily hit. Also, handles
should not extend over adjacent burners. Always set utensils
gently onto the grates and center them so that they are
well-balanced.
• Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage
the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Do not drop them on
the grate.
• To avoid burns or fire hazard, reduce the flame level if it
extends beyond the bottom of the utensil. A flame that extends
up the sides of the utensil is potentially dangerous.
