 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.

„

 

 Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. 
Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to 
the product and a shock or fire hazard.

„

 

 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 CERAMA BRYTE

®

 ceramic Cooktop Cleaner 

and CERAMA BRYTE

®

 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.
