SAFETY INFORMATION

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

To reduce the risk of tipping the range,

the range must be secured by a properly

installed anti-tip bracket. See installation

instructions shipped with the bracket for

complete details before attempting to install.

For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed and

engaged properly, look underneath the

range to see that the rear leveling leg is

engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel

can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible,

slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to

the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under

the anti-tip bracket.

If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this

procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured

to the anti-tip device properly.

WARNING Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result

in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.

• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the

range back such that the foot is engaged.

• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.

• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns

to children or adults.

Coil Cooktops

Each coil surface unit uses "SENSI-TEMP

TECHNOLOGY" to reduce the risk of cooktop oil and

grease fires. This feature is located in the center of each

surface unit. Power to the surface unit is temporarily

interrupted when a pot or pan exceeds expected cooking

temperatures. Even after the surface units are turned off,

the surface unit retains enough heat to continue cooking.

To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface

units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on

the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

Cookware for Coil Cooktops

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.

NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the coil cooktop.

Recommended

Stainless Steel

Thin unclad stainless steel will give poor performance.

Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from

getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off

for a time if:

■ thepanboilsdry.

■ thepanbottomisnotflat.

■ thepanisoff-center.

■ thereisnopanontheunit.

Radiant Glass Cooktop

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a

smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is

used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new

parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a

short time.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is

normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot

or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as

the glass cools to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your

selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface

even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass

cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To

avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units

when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the

surface unit until it has cooled completely.
