IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Storage in or on Appliance-Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface
burners or in the broiler 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. Flammable materials may explode and
result in fire or property damage.
• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNER OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Areas near surface burners
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
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, 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.
Never use your appliance for warming
or heating the room.
• 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 the potholders touch the
flame or burners, Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Build-up
of pressure may cause the 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 oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always
turn the oven off and remove food. If the oven is
not turned off and the power resumes, the oven will
begin to operate again. Food left unattended could
catch fire.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit,
Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame
size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil
bottom. The use of undersized utensilswill expose a
portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward Over
Cooktop and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
Burners--To reduce the riskof 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 burners.
• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
• Protective Liners---Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner pans, oven bottom or any other part
of the range. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used asa cover placed on
the food. Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may interfere with heat and air
distribution, and combustion. Damage to the range or
personal injury may result.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils_Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for
rangetop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possiblymelt. You will not be
able to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
causecombustion problems.
