IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS(continued)
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Use Proper Pan SizeThis appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve
efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface ElementsTo 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 elements.
Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.
Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High
SettingsBoilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Make sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in PlaceAbsence of
these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
Protective LinersDo not use aluminum foil to line surface unit
reflector pans, drip bowls, oven bottom or any other part of the
range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in the Cooking
Guide. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Glazed Cooking UtensilsOnly 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 Element Covers. If an element
is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and
possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the element is on.
Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the cooktop.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Use Care When Opening DoorStand 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.
Keep Oven Vent Duct Unobstructed. The oven is vented through
the right rear surface element. 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 Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven 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
oven element or interior of the oven. Remove all utensils from the
rack before removing rack.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler grid 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 range or turn off
the power to the range before removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath
each surface element. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease
filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on
hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When
flaming food unde the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
