IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR GAS COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each surface heating
area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area
before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before
removing the cookware.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware
may expose a portion of the flame to direct contact
and may result in the ignition of clothing or other
items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking
areas will improve efficiency.
Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting
top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then
adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil.
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 burners
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings — Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spill
overs that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
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 you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-
market oven liners, or any other materials or
devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any
other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as
recommended for baking, such as lining cookware
or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of
protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the appliance 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. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items can 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, do not let
potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands
to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils
before moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper cookware and always use the oven
racks.
Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of
the burner flame to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
flame will also improve efficiency.
