Grease
Grease is flammable. Do not
allow grease to collect around
cooktop. 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-fitted 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
Clean cooktop with care. Some
cleaners could produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burns.
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 reproduc-
tive harm. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with a hood
or open window and wiping out
excess food spills prior to self-
cleaning.
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.
Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks, and other utensils.
Do not use your oven to clean
miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use
and Care Guide.
Do not clean door gasket. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the gasket. 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.
