Safety
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface
burners—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings—Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the
appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed
on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or short circuit.
• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations
for rangetop use.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on,
the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers
are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers
may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion
problems.
• Do not clean or operate a 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.
• Clean cooktop glass with caution—If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side
of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven/ warmer drawer.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located under the cooktop.
Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns.
Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items
could melt or ignite.
• Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven/
warmer drawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow
dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could
ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to
break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing
and replacing light bulb.
