IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Read all safety instructions before using the product and save these instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.

Anti-Tip Device

Tip Over Hazard

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket provided with the unit 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.

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. 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, then 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.

General Safety Instructions

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

• FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range unattended with the cooktop ON.
  Keep flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, serious injury or death.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be transferred to a qualified technician.

• Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

• Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

•   Do not store items of interest to children above a range or on the backguard of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
  Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around the oven door.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

• Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the oven bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Oven liners can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

• Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook tops or control panels.
  Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.

• Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations are provided by the USDA and FDA. Use a food thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

• Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance.
  These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS
TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never leave the surface units unattended with the cooktop ON. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Always be present at the range when cooking with oil or grease. Surface cooking is an “attended” activity.
• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
• Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper  relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.
• When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.
• If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.

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.

• 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.

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.
• Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.
• 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.

FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range unattended with the cooktop ON. Keep flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, serious injury or death.

Using the radiant surface units

About the radiant surface units

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.| Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.| Do not slide cookware across the control or cooktop surface
because it can scratch the glass.
The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratch proof.

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on.
With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop. An indicator light will come on when the surface unit is turned on. The appropriate HOT surface indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 65.5°C (150°F).

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 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.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface 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.

• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream.
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.
• Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
• Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Temperature limiter
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 units 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.

Selecting types of cookware

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

Stainless steel:
Recommended
Aluminum:
Heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin-weight aluminum should not be used.
Copper bottom:
Recommended
Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Porcelain enamel-covered cast iron:
Recommended
As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast-iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:
Usable, but not recommended Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
Usable, but not recommended Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Home canning tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from
manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

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

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals. For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the surface unit more than 2.5 cm (1 inch).

Wok cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a buildup of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned if the wok tips over.

Using the surface units

How to set

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.
At both OFF and Max the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the power level you set.

Indicator lights (on radiant glass models only)

A Hot indicator light will glow when any radiant element is turned on, and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch.
A Burner On indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.

To reset the clock, touch the CLOCK pad. Enter the correct time of day by touching the + or – pads. Touch the START/ON pad.

Using the oven
Before you begin…

The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.
When you are using a rack in the lowest position (R), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out.
Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (R).

How to set the oven for baking or roasting

The oven has a special lower rack (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when cooking a large turkey. The rack is not designed to slide out at this position.

1. Touch the BAKE pad.

2. Touch the + or – pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

3. Touch the START/ON pad.
   The oven will start automatically. The display will show “PRE” while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep and the display will show the oven temperature.
   To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, touch the BAKE pad and then the + or – pads to get the new temperature.

4. Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

5. Touch the OFF pad when baking is finished and then remove the food from the oven.

Preheating and pan placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 15–20 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″ to 1½” of air space around it.

Aluminum foil and oven liners
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

How to set the oven for broiling

Note: Close the door before start any broiling function.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without overbrowning them.

1. Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling.

2. Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling guide on page 18.

3. Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil.
   To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.

4. Touch the START pad.

5. When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Care and cleaning of the range

Be sure that all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any art of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

Oven interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven–top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door–will stay new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor–it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Cleaning the oven door

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket-it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

To clean the inside of the door:

• The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
• If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Lift-off oven door
The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift door by the handle.
If improperly removed, oven door hinges may suddenly open and can cause personal injury to appendages near the hinge. Follow instructions below to avoid a risk of injury when removing and re-installing the oven door.

To remove the door:

1. Fully open the oven door.
2. With thumb and forefinger, pull the hinge lock on each hinge up to the unlocked position.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.
4. Close door until the top of the door is approximately 3″ from the range frame.
5. Lift door up and away from the range until both hinge arms are clear of the slots in the range frame.

To replace the door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.
2. With the door at the same angle as the bottom of the left hinge arm on the bottom edge of the left hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated onto the bottom of the slot. Repeat for the right side.
3. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the notches in the bottoms of the hinge arms are not seated correctly onto the bottom edge of the slot. Lift the door off the range and repeat Step 2.
4. Push the hinge locks down to the locked position.
5. Close the oven door.

Oven heating elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water.

Oven racks

All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Oven light replacement
SHOCK OR BURN HAZARD: Before replacing oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn.
BURN HAZARD: The glass cover and bulb should be removed when cool. Touching hot glass with bare hands or a damp cloth can cause burns.

To remove the cover:

1. Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.
   Do not remove any screws to remove the cover.

2. Replace bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.

To replace the cover:

1. Place it into groove of the light receptacle. Pull wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place.
2. Connect electrical power to the range.

Storage drawer removal

To remove the storage drawer:

1. Pull the drawer out all the way.
2. Tilt up the front and remove it.

To replace the storage drawer:

1. Insert glides at the back of the drawer beyond the stop on range glide.
2. Lift the drawer if necessary to insert easily.
3. Let the front of the drawer down; then push in to close.

Porcelain enamel cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spattering’s, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Painted surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the sides of the door trim.
To clean the painted surfaces, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for these surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
Do not use steel-wood pads, commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners. They will damage the surface.

Stainless steel surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Glass window
To clean the outside glass window, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the glass cooktop

Normal daily use cleaning
ONLY use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop. Other types of cleaners may not be as effective.

To maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop, follow these steps:

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Daily use of ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse.

Note: It is very important that you DO NOT heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

Burned-on residue

DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you use scrub pads other than those recommended.

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area.
3. Using the included cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub the residue area, applying pressure as needed.
4. If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above as needed.
5. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

Heavy, burned-on residue

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the soil.
3. It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor scraper in order to remove the residue.
4. After scraping with the razor scraper, spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area. Use the cleaning pad to remove any remaining residue.
5. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

Metal marks and scratches

1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface.
   These marks are removable using the ceramic cooktop cleaner with the cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.

2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop.
   This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.
Cooktop seal

To clean the cooktop seal around the edges of the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean with nonabrasive cleaners.

Glass surface – potential for permanent damage.

Damage from sugary spills and melted plastic

1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

2. Wearing an oven mitt:
   • Use a single-edge razor blade scraper to move the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.
   • Remove the spill with paper towels.

3. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.

4. Don’t use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely removed.

Note: If pitting or indentation in the glass surface has already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
