-Wear Proper Apparel--Loose=fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let

clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

- 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 Only 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 orother bulky cloth
instead of a potholder.

- Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of pressure
may cause container to burst and result in injury.

- Remove the oven doorfrom any unused range if it is to be stored
or discarded.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or

drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also
cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb or play
around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may
cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if

equipped) for storage.

Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above a range oron the backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Never Use YourAppliance forWarming orHeating

the Room.

• Storage in oron 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.

• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS,AREAS NEARTHESE UNITS,
HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OFTHE OVEN.

Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units 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 have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and

window.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Knowwhich knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efficiency.

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements--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

units.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating

elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• 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 flaming foods underaventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USINGYOUR
OVEN

• Use Care When Opening 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 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 broler 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 insertwith 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.

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 element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware

that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

COIL COOK TOP MODELS

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place--Absence
of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or

components underneath to damage.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit
drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as

recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. Improper

installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or
fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects orother reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential

exposure to such substances.

The Element ON Indicator Light

The Coil Cook Top range is equipped with a surface control light that will glow on your range--

i iii i i

the Element ON indicator light. The Element ON indicator light (all models) located on the
control panel, will glow when any surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this lig ht after
cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned OFF.

Oven Vent Location

For models equipped with coil surface elements, the oven vent is located under the left
rear surface element. When the oven is on, warm air flows through the left rear
element. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking

results. DO NOT BLOCK THE OVEN VENT.

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven
mitts when using the oven.

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks

To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on
the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
