IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
,, Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size--This 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 Elements--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
units.
,, Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Believers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.
Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS
,, Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place--Absence
of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
,, Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit
drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or
fire.
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.
,, Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with
coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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
heating elements in the oven. 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.
Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
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. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
,,Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
* Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
