important Safety instructions
• Storage in or on appliance--flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer,
near surface units or in the storage drawer. This
includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as
cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as
flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE--children
should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance,
including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,
warmer drawer or lower double oven.
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both
ii
surface heating and oven heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface cooking units may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials touch these
ii
areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
ii
Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing
the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door and oven doorwindow.
ii
• Wear proper apparel--loose-fitting or hanging
ii
garments should never be worn while using the
ii
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not attempt to operate the range during a power
failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If the
range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range
will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes,
reset the clock and oven function.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires--smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--Stand to the
side of the range 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. The oven vent is
located under the left rear surface element if your model
is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located
below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-
glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in 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 interior oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must
be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover
the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
• Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
