Important Safety Instructions
Never use your appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appli-
ance.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Grease
may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother fire
or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extin-
guisher. Cover the fire with a pan lid or use baking
soda.
Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do not use
towels or other bulky cloths.
Do not heat unopened food containers - Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the appli-
ance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials
contact hot surfaces.
Do not touch surface burners or elements, areas near
these burners or elements, interior surfaces of the
oven, or the warmer drawer (if equipped). Surface
burners and elements may be hot even though they
appear cool. Areas near surface burners and
elements may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials touch these areas until
they are cool. These areas may include the cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent areas, oven
door, and oven window.
Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the
power resumes, electric surface elements may
resume operation when power is restored. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and the oven
function.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
GAS COOKTOP
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.
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 recommen-
dations for cook top use.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
