In Case of Fire
Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive
grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed
as follows:
Surface Element Fire
1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking
soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not
water. Not salt. Not flour.
2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface
controls to “OFF”.
Oven Fires
1. If you see smoke from your oven, do not open oven
door.
2. Turn oven control to “OFF”.
3. As an added precaution, turn off power at main circuit
breaker or fuse box.
4. Turn on vent to remove smoke.
5. Allow food or grease to burn itself out in oven. Do not
open oven door.
6. If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.
7. If there is any damage to components, call an
authorized servicer before using range.
Precautions
Do not cook food directly on range top surface,
always use cookware.
Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even
hazardous results.
Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.
They may stick and melt.
Do not slide rough objects across range top
surface. Scratching or metal marking can result.
Do not use cookware with rough bottoms. They
may scratch smoothtop surface. Glass and
ceramic cookware should not be used.
Do not use damp sponge or dishcloth to clean
range top. A film of soil-laden detergent water may
collect on range top. If this should happen, Amana
Cleaning Conditioning Cream removes this type of
stain.
Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby.
Fat can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot
surfaces.
Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause
damage to cooking surface and pan.
Do not use range top surface as a cutting board.
Do not use range for storage or as a display
counter.

hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
