Whirlpool SF370PEW Range User Manual


 
utensils are suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
l
Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
When using the oven
@Always position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
l
Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
l
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
I
l
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan 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 multipur-
pose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Care and cleaning
l
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.
l
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.
l
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.
l
Do not clean door heat seal. It is essen-
tial 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.
l
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.
l
Any additions, changes or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a Whirlpool@ service
