IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
• Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the surface units, areas nearby
the surface units or any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop, the oven vent opening
and surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door, the edges of the door window and
metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
Oven
• Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact
the heating elements.
• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching the
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
• Do not use oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of
the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler
pan can catch on fire the next time you use the pan.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your range.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in this guide. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
Self-Cleaning 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 commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan, rack and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Cooktop and Surface Units
• Use proper pan size—Select
cookware having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit
will also improve efficiency.
