IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS(continued)
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
• Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of under-
sizedutensils 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.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--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 isturned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High
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
surface burner pans, the oven bottom or any other part of
the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for
baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use
of protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere with
heat and air distribution, and combustion. Damage to the
range or personal injury may result.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
aresuitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for rangetop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner
isaccidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot
and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner
ison. Burns wilt occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage
may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers
may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening the Oven Door or Warmer
Drawer--Stand to the side of the range when opening
the door of a hot oven/warmer drawer. Let hot air or
steam escape before you remove or replace food in the
oven/warmer drawer.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven isvented
below the backguard. Touching the surfacesin this area when
the oven is operating 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/Warmer Drawer Racks. Always place
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven ishot, useextreme caution. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the oven burner flame or interior of the
oven/warmer drawer. Remove all utensils from the rack
before removing rack.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler
pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid or warmer drawer
with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could
ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect
therange or turn off the power to the range before removing
and replacing the light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area
underneath each surface burner. Exhaustfan ventilation hoods
and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Referto
the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• Kitchen cleaners/aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or
injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS:
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven
listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensilsstored in the oven.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
