children in the cabinets above the appliance
or on the backguards of ranges. Children
climbing on or near the appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Do not allow children to climb or

the door or drawers of this appliance can
result in serious injuries and also cause
damage to the appliance.
Never cover any slots, holes, or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an
entire oven rack with any materials, such as
aluminum foil or aftermarket oven liners.
Aluminum foil and other liners may trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
Do not use oven or warmer
drawer (if equipped) for storage.

space heater to heat or warm the room.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
When heating fat or grease,
watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it
becomes too hot.
Do not use water or flour on
grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Cover the fire with a pan lid or use baking
soda.
Use dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or
other bulky cloths.

containers - Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
Wear proper apparel - Loosefitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance. Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact hot surfaces.
Do not touch surface burners or
elements, areas near these burners or
elements, interior surfaces of the oven, or the
warmer drawer (if equipped). Surface
burners and elements may be hot even
though they appear cool. Areas near surface

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
Use proper flame size — Adjust
flame size so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil. The use of undersized
utensils will 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.
• Know which knob or key controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware
with food on the cooking area before
turning it on. Turn the cooking area off
before removing the cookware.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Select cookware with
flat bottoms that match the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized
cookware may expose a portion of the
flame to direct contact and may result in
the ignition of clothing or other items.
Using the proper cookware on the
cooking areas will improve efficiency.
• Always turn knob to the full LITE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check
that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of
the utensil.
• 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 you are flaming foods under a
ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper bakeware and
always use the oven racks.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,
aftermarket oven liners, or any other
materials or devices to line oven bottom,
oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended
for baking, such as lining cookware or as a
cover placed on food. Any other use of
protective liners or aluminum foil may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short
circuit.
• 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 burners.
• Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings — Boil overs cause
smoking and greasy spill overs that may
ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
Save these instructions for future reference.
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some models).
Stand to the side of the appliance 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. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or
heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.
These items can melt or ignite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let potholder contact hot burner or element
in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack
with both hands to reposition. Remove all
cookware and utensils before moving the
rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to
drain away from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always
cook in proper cookware and always use the
oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELFCLEANING OVENS
• Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.

coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the appliance.
• Before using self clean, remove the broiler
pan, any food, utensils, and cookware

warming drawer (if equipped). Remove
oven racks unless otherwise instructed.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-clean cycle
of any oven. Move birds to another wellventilated room.
Before manually cleaning any
part of the appliance, be sure all controls
are turned off and the appliance is cool.
Cleaning a hot appliance can cause burns.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all
parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch
fire.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen
cleaners and aerosols. 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 hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning vent hoods.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE
AND MAINTENANCE
• Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing
should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal
injury and damage to the appliance.
