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 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

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 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 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 i 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 USING YOUR

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 aerosolsiAIways 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 FrequentlyiGrease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer's

instructions for cleaning.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spiliovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cook Top with Caution--if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

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
