Important Safety Instructions
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before
lighting a burner.
• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot
cooktop or oven. The steam can cause serious burns
or scalds.
• Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing
them from the valve stems.
• Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot
air or steam escape before looking or reaching into
the oven.
• The cooktop should never be operated without the
knobs or trim rings in place.
• Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than one
hour before or after cooking. Eating spoiled food can
result in food poisoning.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated
room during cooking.
• Always ensure that the light fixture lens cover is in
place when using the oven. The lens cover protects
the light bulb from breakage caused by high oven
temperatures or mechanical shock.
• Do not operate the range without the backguard
attached. A fire hazard may result.
• For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without
the convection filter installed. When the filter is not
installed, the spinning fan blades at the back of the
oven are exposed.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against possible
electric shock hazards. If only a two-prong outlet is
available, it is the customer’s responsibility to have
it replaced with a dedicated, grounded three-prong
electrical outlet by a licensed electrician. Do not
under any circumstances:
◊ Cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
◊ Use an adapter plug.
◊ Use an extension cord.
◊ Use a power cord that is
frayed or damaged.
◊ Plug the cooktop into an
electrical outlet with a ground
fault interrupter (GFI).
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.)
to remain on the range’s surfaces. The finish may
stain.
• Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not expose plastic knobs to direct flame, hot
utensils or other sources of heat.
• When deep fat frying:
◊ Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain
the desired volume of food without overflow caused
by the bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat
fryer unattended.
◊ Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods
with high water content may cause spattering or
spilling of the hot fat.
◊ Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combination
of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep
fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to
temperatures above the flash point.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be
burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
d. Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
◊ You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
◊ The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
◊ The fire department is being called.
◊ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
