burns or other injury.

• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES

OFTH EOVEN. Both surface unitsand 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, orlet clothing orotherflammable
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 doorand 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

J

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 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 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 aventilating 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.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• 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.
Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

,The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another

well-ventilated room.

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.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 1 & 4 (See Fig. 7). For best results

when using a single oven Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 3 (See Fig. 8).

Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking

results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookwa refor proper aircirculation
and be sure pans and cookware do not

must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for

even heat to reach around the food. Fig. 7 Fig. 8
