Surface Temperature

When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot,
such as the knobs and oven door.
Storage Drawer
When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not
store plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the
drawer.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper or
other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Cooktop Use

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so could result in death or fire.
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area may glow red when an element is ON.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an
element is ON. The glow will also randomly cycle off and back on
again, even while on Hi, to keep the cooktop from extreme
temperatures. This is normal operation.
It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to appear
to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
� Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
� For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
cause pitting and permanent marks.

Delay Start should not be used for foods such as breads and cakes because they may not
