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 .
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 .

■ 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 .
■ 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 .
