IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 Units--To reduce the risk of bums,
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 Units 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 range. Only use aluminum foil
as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Glazed Cooking Utensils_Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan
on.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS
Do Not Cook on 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 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 noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--
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 islocated
below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when
the oven isoperating 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 iscool. 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.
Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has
not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit
has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning on the power to the appliance
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. 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.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Owner's Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be ta ken not to rub, damage or move the
gasket.
