potholders. Always avoid reaching into the
oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be
moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Always
turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before moving or
replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow
food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic
frozen food container and/or its cover dis-
torts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during
cooking, immediately discard the food and its
container. The food could be contaminated.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven
racks or oven bottom. This could result in
risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the
appliance. Use foil only as directed in this
guide.
UTENSIL SAFETY
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that
are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using
unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-
handled pans. Also avoid using pans, espe-
cially small pans, with heavy handles as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are
heavy to move when filled with food may also
be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is
particularly important in deep fat frying. Be
sure pan will accommodate the volume of
food that is to be added as well as the bubble
action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do not extend handles
over adjacent surface burners. Always turn
pan handles toward the side or back of the
appliance, not out into the room where they
are easily hit or reached by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage
the utensil and the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using oven cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop or oven usage without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions when
using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cookware.
Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this
guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the
surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on
oven convection systems. The use of de-
vices or accessories that are not expressly
recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in perfor-
mance problems, and reduce the life of the
components of the appliance.
CLEANING SAFETY
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance
parts to cool before touching or cleaning
them. Do not touch the burner grates or
surrounding areas until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to
avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if ap-
plied to a hot surface.
SELF-CLEAN OVEN
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not
clean door gasket. The door gasket is es-
sential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Do
not use oven cleaners of any kind in or
around any part of the self-clean oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils
and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent
excessive smoke, flare-ups or flaming.
CAUTION: Do not leave food or cooking
utensils, etc. in the oven during the self-
clean cycle.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to
become hot during a self-clean cycle. There-
fore, touching the cooktop during a clean
cycle should be avoided.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE AND
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposi-
tion 65) requires the Governor of Califor-
nia to publish a list of substances known to
the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures
to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that the burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed sub-
stances, including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petro-
leum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners
will minimize incomplete combustion. Ex-
posure to these substances can also be
minimized by properly venting the burners
to the outdoors.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that when the oven is engaged in the self-
clean cycle, there may be some low-level
exposure to some of the listed substances,
including carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by prop-
erly venting the oven to the outdoors by
opening the windows and/or door in the
room where the appliance is located during
the self-clean cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes re-
leased during an oven self-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine and overheated non-stick cook-
ware may be equally harmful.
