5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSREAD ALL INSTRUCTION BEFORE USINGIMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNINGThe California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customer of potential exposures to such substances.Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when it is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be low level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors during the self-clean cycle by opening a window and/or door in the room where the appliance is located.WARNING All ranges can tip and injury could result. To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance from abnormal usage by excessive loading of the oven door, the appliance must be secured to wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door. Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in the installation manual.To check if the device is properly installed and engaged, look underneath the range with a flashlight to make sure one of the rear leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot. The Anti-Tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the floor when properly engaged. You should check this anytime the range has been moved.SAFETY PRECAUTIONSWhen using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: 1 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. 2 Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions. 3 Never use appliance for warming or heating the room. 4 Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. 5 Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns. 6 Do not repair or replace any part of appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. 7 Do not store flammable materials in an oven, Microwave Drawer or near surface units. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance. 8 Do not use water on grease fires. Smother a flame or use a dry chemical or form-type extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or if available, by a multi-purpose dry chemical or form-type fire extinguisher. 9 Use only dry potholders - a moist or damp potholder on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot surface unit or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.10 CAUTION Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.11 Do not touch the surface units, heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot even though they are dark in color. These surfaces may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces include: cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door and window and area around the door.12 Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.13 Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.14 Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, Microwave Drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.15 Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.16 Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range.17 Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.
6RADIANT SURFACE UNITS 1 Use proper pan size — this appliance has different size surface units. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of surface unit heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensils to heating element will also improve efficiency. 2 Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. 3 Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. 4 To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with utensils, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent surface units. 5 Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. 6 Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Please see cleaning the glass cooktop section. 7 Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. 8 When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. 9 Deep fat fryers - use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.10 Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.11 Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.12 Food for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.13 Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added. If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.14 Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.15 Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent heating fat beyond the smoking point.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS16 Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.17 Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or cooktop can lead to broken or shattered glass.18 Never use the glass cooktop surface as cutting board.19 Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.20 Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.MICROWAVE DRAWERWhen using the Microwave Drawer, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: WARNING To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy: 1 Read all instructions before using the appliance. 2 Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 3. 3 This appliance must be properly grounded.

12INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOWABOUT THE COOKTOP • Glass ceramic cooktop - Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on. Do not use the cooktop if the glass is broken or if metal melts on it. • Radiant surface units - The radiant surace heating units are beneath the smooth glass ceramic cooktop. The design on the cooktop outlines the area of the surface unit underneath. When the cooktop is on, the (cooktop-on indicator), next to the surface cooking control knob, comes on even if the cooktop unit doesnʼt look red. The areas around the units may become hot enough to cause burns. • Hot surface indicator - An indicator light, on the cooktop, comes on when the surface unit is turned on and the cooktop temperature increases. The indicator will remain on until the surface has cooled below 150˚F even after the unit is turned off. • Temperature Limiter - The radiant surface units have a temperature limiter that allows the unit to cycle on and off, even at the High setting. It protects the glass ceramic cooktop from damage. Cycling at the High setting can occur when improper cookware is used.Note: Never leave any items on the cooktop. Hot units may ignite fl ammable items, melt or soften plastics or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.Donʼt store heavy items above the cooktop as they can cause damage if they drop on to the cooktop. Never cook directly on the cooktop. Always use cookware.ABOUT COOKING UTENSILS For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils as below. • Bottom of pan - Pans should have fl at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface unit. Check for fl atness by using a straight edge. Pans with curved or warped bottoms are not recommended. • Size of pan - Pan size should match the amount of food and the size of the surface unit. Do not use canners or frypans that exceed the width of the radiant surface units.• Material of pan - Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturerʼs instructions. Some utensils were not made to be used on the cooktop. • Position of pan - Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are using. Do not use two elements to heat one large pan. • Wok Cooking - Only a fl at-bottomed wok is recommended. Do not use round-bottom wok or a wok with a support ring.Note: Do not slide cookware across the cooktop surface because it can scratch the glass or may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. Never allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the countertop. Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop surface.Do not use cooktop as a cutting board. COOKTOP USE

14MICROWAVE DRAWER COOKING• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include:- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.- Poultry thigh joints move easily.- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGSIt is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new Microwave Drawer. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)• microwave-safe plastics• microwave-safe paper plates• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:• wood, straw, wickerDO NOT USE• metal pans and bakeware• dishes with metallic trim• non-heat-resistant glass• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)• recycled paper products• brown paper bags• food storage bags• metal twist-tiesShould you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.The following coverings are ideal:• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOWALWAYS have food in the Microwave Drawer when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.When using the Microwave Drawer at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the Microwave Drawer to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the Microwave Drawer. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents between Microwave Drawer and oven must not be blocked.The Microwave Drawer is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.Your Microwave Drawer is rated 1000 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.When opening or closing the Microwave Drawer quickly, food in the Microwave Drawer may be spilled. To clean, please refer to the Cleaning and Care section on page 26.RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCEShould there be any interference caused by the Microwave Drawer to your radio or TV, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the range as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from right to left.• Add standing time. Remove food from Microwave Drawer and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.

Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.How to use aluminum foil in your Microwave Drawer:• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the Microwave Drawer.Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the Microwave Drawer when accessories are used.ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVEChildren below the age of 7 should use the Microwave Drawer with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.The child must be able to reach the Microwave Drawer comfortably.At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the Microwave Drawer.Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.Donʼt assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.Children need to learn that the Microwave Drawer is not a toy. See page 25 for Control Lock feature.ABOUT SAFETY• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agricultureʼs recommended temperatures.160˚F - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.165˚F - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh” food.170˚F - White meat of poultry.180˚F - Dark meat of poultry.To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave use.• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dishʼs covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.• Stay near the Microwave Drawer while itʼs in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.• NEVER use the Microwave Drawer for storing cookbooks or other items.• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires. See page 27.MICROWAVE DRAWER COOKINGABOUT FOODSFOOD DO DON’TEggs, sausages, fruits & vegetables• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”.• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.• Cook eggs in shells.• Reheat whole eggs.• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.Popcorn • Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave.• Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Sensor Popcorn pad.• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.• Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.Baby food • Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving.• Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding.• Heat disposable bottles.• Heat bottles with nipples on.• Heat baby food in original jars.General • Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns.• Stir liquids brisk ly before and after heating to avoid “eruption”.• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.• Food should be shorter than the Microwave Drawer. Please refer to the height of side walls of tray holder.• Heat or cook in closed glass jars or airtight containers.• Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.• Deep fat fry.• Drywood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.

The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities.USING SENSOR SETTINGS: 1 After the range is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any sensor setting. 2 Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the Microwave Drawer are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel. 3 The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature. 4 Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 20. 5 More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook. 6 During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the Microwave Drawer or touch Stop/Clear during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad and cook manually. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking/reheating time will appear. The Microwave Drawer may be opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired. 7 If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed, and the microwave will turn off. 8 Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually. 9 Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the Custom Help pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

19MANUAL DEFROSTIf the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART on the previ-ous page, you need to defrost manually.You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level at 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under, TO SET POWER LEVEL on page 16. Estimate defrosting time and press Power Level pad eight times for 30% power.For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 30% until totally defrosted.When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.MICROWAVE DRAWER COOKINGREHEATReheat automatically computes the correct warming time and microwave power level for foods shown in the chart below.1 Touch Reheat pad once.

21OVEN COOKINGINFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW• Be sure all packing material is removed from oven before turning on.• Oven vent location - The oven vent is located at the right side of the front panel between the Microwave Drawer and oven. This area could become hot during oven use. It is normal for steam to come out of the vent. The vent is important for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Never block this vent.• Do not use oven for storing food or cookware.BEFORE USING OVENREMOVING AND REPLACING OVEN RACKSThe racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out and will not tilt.To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift front of rack up and slide out.To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.For EZ Extend rack, pull both the rack glide and rack base out together.RECOMMENDED RACK POSITIONFOOD RACK POSITIONToasting bread 4Broiling meats, chicken or fish 2 or 3Baking cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits or muffins2 or 3Baking frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast bread or casseroles1Roasting poultry 1Roasting meats 1Baking on 2 racks at the same time 2 and 4 Note: Follow package instructions and recipe times. The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.AIR CIRCULATION IN THE OVENBaking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack #1 and two layers on rack #3. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other. For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4 inches around the cookware and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.ALUMINUM FOILDo not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It is not recommended to use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. If you would like to use it to make cleaning easier, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan, and then the juices could become hot enough to catch on fire.Oven Vent

24OVEN COOKINGHOW TO START SELF-CLEANRemember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock (approx. 1 hour) if you are planning to use the oven after a self-clean cycle. Remove the broiler pan and broiler grid, all utensils and any foil. We recommend removing the oven racks. If they go through the clean cycle, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. With soap and water, clean any soil from the oven frame and the area outside the gasket on the door. These areas heat during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. To avoid heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperature, remove heavy spillovers in the oven using hot soapy water and cloth before cleaning cycle. We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan during the self-cleaning cycle. 1 Touch Self Clean pad. NORM2 Touch START pad.Oven locks automatically. Cleaning time appears and begins counting down. When self cleaning time is completed, a signal will sound and END will appear in the display. It will not be possible to open the door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and LOCK indicator goes off. Touch Self Clean pad once for NORMAL (4 hours) or twice for LIGHT (2 1/2 hours). After a self-clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools. Gently lift the bottom element to wipe underneath it. It cannot be removed.If the racks become hard to slide, apply a small amount of cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks.Note: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot to touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before the self-cleaning cycle, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. The glass ceramic cooktop and the Microwave Drawer can be used while the oven is self-cleaning.OVEN LIGHTThe oven light automatically comes on when the door is opened. When the door is closed, press Oven Light pad on the control panel to turn the light on or off. The oven light will not operate during a self-clean cycle.

26CLEANING AND CAREBefore cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and all surfaces are cool.NON-COOKTOP SURFACESEXTERIORThe outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE (SELECT MODELS) The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on to it. Follow package directions carefully.OUTSIDE OF THE DOORWipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.CONTROL KNOBSThe control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Before removing the knobs, make sure the knobs are in the OFF position. Clean with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure proper placement.TOUCH CONTROL PANELIf desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. See the CONTROL LOCK information on page 25 of this manual.Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.COOKTOPIf the cooktop should crack or break, do not use or attempt to clean it.

To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. 1 Apply a few drops of cleaner cream to the cooktop that is not hot.2 Dampen clean paper towel and clean unit.3 Wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel, then wipe dry.Note: • Make sure bottom of cookware and cooking area are clean and dry before turning on the cooktop. • Wipe up food spills and spatters before they burn on the surface. • Do not mix cleaning products. Mixtures may interact and damage the surface.SUGARY SPILLOVERS (JELLIES, FUDGE, CANDY, SYRUPS ETC.), MELTED PLASTICS OR HEAVY BURNED ON RESIDUESugary spillovers, melted plastics or heavy burned on residue can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop unless the spill is removed while still hot.You must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot.1 Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.2 Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper at a 30 degree angle against the glass ceramic surface and scrape from hot surface to a cooler area.3 Remove the spills with paper towels.TO UNLOCK OVEN DOOR 1 Touch Setup/Custom Help pad eight times.

Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.1 Dampen a “scratchless” or “never scratch” pad that is safe for non-stick cookware. The pattern and glass will be damaged if the pad is not damp or is soiled or if another type of pad is used. Apply a cleaner cream for glass ceramic cooktop.2 Scrub to remove as much soil as possible.3 Apply the cleaner cream over the soil, cover with a damp paper towel and let stand 30 minutes to 1 hour. Keep moist by covering the paper towel with plastic wrap.4 Scrub again and wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel. Then wipe dry.Note: • Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop.• If pots or pans of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, permanent damage may affect the ceramic glass surface.• Do not slide pots and pans across the cooktop surface.• Cookware with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.• Do not use a dull or nicked blade. Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper. MICROWAVE DRAWER INTERIOR Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.MICROWAVE DRAWER GUIDES Remove the food crumbs from the Microwave Drawer guides.
