Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or

Heating the Room.

• 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 inthe area where appliance is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements may
be hot even though they are clark incolor. 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.

• 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 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.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be

stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT--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.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USINGYOUR
COOKTOP

,,Know which 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 bums, 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

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 under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on,

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USlNGYOUR
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 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.

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 COOKTOP 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.
