Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and

an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the
power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in
case of an emergency.

= 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.

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 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--Sta nd 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.

= Do not touch surface heating units or surface

ii

cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both

surface heating and oven heating elements may behot
even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns.

ii

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

ii

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 oven door window.

ii

ii

• 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 attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn offthe

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.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent

is located under the left rear surface element if your
model isequipped 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.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE.

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all
controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL.The range
may be hot and can cause burns.

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire, Pay particular attention

to the area around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR 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 isequipped 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.

• 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 the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning hoods,

COIL COOK TOP MODELS

• 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.

• 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.

Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surfaceelements--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 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

elementsmHeating elements should never beimmersed
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 aventilating hood, turn

the fan on.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of

substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires

cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must beable to circulate
around the pans and cookware inthe oven for even heat to

reach around the food.
