Important Safety Instructions
Regarding Pet Birds:
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet
birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen
fumes could reach them. During self-clean, fumes are
released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen
fumes such as overheating margarines and cooking oils
may also be harmful.
Self-Cleaning Safety
Confirm that the door locks and will not open by
pulling gently on it once the door lock icon appears. If
the door does not lock, touch OFF and do not run Self-
Clean. Phone 866-44SIEMENS (447-4363) for service.
Note: During a normal Self-clean cycle, the door
does not lock at the beginning of the cycle; However,
it does lock prior to reaching the high self-clean
temperatures. In a Delayed Self-Clean cycle, the door
locks immediately.
Do not clean the oven gasket. It is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
move or remove the oven gasket.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
liner protective coatings of any kind in or around
any part of the oven.
Clean only oven parts listed in this manual.
Remove the broiler pan, oven racks, oven probe
and other utensils and wipe out excess soft
spillage before self-cleaning the oven.
WARNING
ALL RANGES CAN TIP.
INJURY TO PERSONS COULD
RESULT.
INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICE
PACKAGED WITH RANGE.
SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
oven.
Keep the oven free from grease build up.
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using
cooking or roasting bags.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, or sit on
any part of the oven, nor to hang on the oven door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the range, and the unit may tip over, potentially
causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area where
the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the appliance or to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep
oven door closed. Turn off oven and disconnect the
circuit at the circuit breaker box.
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. Heat oil slowly on no more than a low-
medium setting, to avoid bubbling and splatter. Hot oil
is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Never leave the cooktop unattended. Boilovers
can cause smoke and possibly damage the cooktop.
Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement
of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
Use only utensils that are approriate for ceramic
cooktop use on the cooktop (See Cookware Selection
Guide”, pg. 29 for further details). Other types of
utensils may break with sudden temperature changes.
Use only on low or medium heat settings when
possible. Use utensils according to the manufacturer’s
directions.
Match pan size to size of element. Undersized pans
expose element to direct contact which could result in
burn or injury. Proper pan size also improves efficiency.
Clean cooktop with caution. Be careful to avoid
steam burns when cleaning ahot cooktop with a wet
sponge. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
when if applied to a hot surface.
This range is intended for residential use only.
It is not approved for outdoor use.
Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced
air vents do not blow flammable material toward
the elements.
Always position handles of utensils inward so
they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners
or the edge of the cooktop.
Range Operation Overview:
Operation of the range is through touch pads on the
backguard, touch pads on the cooktop, the dial on the
backguard and the magTron magnetic dial on the
cooktop.
The backguard touch pads, in conjunction with the
dial on the backguard, are used to select an oven
mode, set the time(s) and to set up your range. To use
the touch pad, touch the center part of the pad with
your fingertip. A beep will sound to indicate that the
selection has been made. Turn the dial on the
backguard to the desired setting and press Start.
Use the touch pads on the cooktop to choose the
element and the element size. These touch pads can
also be used to turn the cooktop on and off and to lock
the cooktop touch pads.
The magTron dial is used to select cooktop heat
settings. Touch the element pad and turn the
magTron dial to the desired setting.
See the sections on operating the cooktop, oven and
warming drawer for detailed instructions.
