RANGE SAFETY
When using the oven
•
Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location while oven is cool. If a rack must
be removed while oven is hot, do not let
pot holder contact hot heating elements
in oven.
•
Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
•
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
•
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan on range by covering with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray.
Flaming grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if
available, a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Care and cleaning
•
Small amounts of formaldehyde and
carbon monoxide are given off in the
Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass
insulation and food decomposition.
Significant exposure to these substances
could cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be minimized by
venting with a hood or open window and
wiping out excess food spills prior to
self-cleaning.
– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –
•
Do not use oven cleaners. No commer-
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
•
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and
other cookware. Do not use your oven to
clean miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use and
Care Guide.
•
Coil element cooktop models: Do not
soak removable heating elements in
water. The elements will be damaged
and shock or fire could result.
•
Ceramic glass cooktop model: Clean
cooktop with care. Some cleaners could
produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. If a wet soft cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns.
•
Do not clean door heat seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage, or move
the seal. Clean only parts recommended
in this Use and Care Guide.
•
Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
•
Disconnect the electrical supply before
servicing the range.
