open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious
burns or other injury.

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

OF THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements
may be hot even though they are clark 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.

• Wear ProperAppareI--Loose=fitting orhanging 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.

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

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 ascookbooks, 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.

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 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 utensilswill 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP (Cont'd)

. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not

Extend OverAdjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition offlammable 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 inwater. 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 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.

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 (some

models). 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 SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California to publish a listof substances

known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers

of potential exposure to such substances.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

. Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers 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.

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 aircirculation and baking results
allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and
be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides
or back of the oven cavity. The hot air

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

heat to reach around the food.
