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.

IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn

the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.)

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accu

mulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short circuit.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating

unit.

• 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. The use of undersized utensils will expose

a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and

may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk

of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place.

Absence of these pansorbowlsduring cooking maysubject wiring or components underneath to damage.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immedi ately.

• Clean cooktop glass 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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

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 / warmer drawer.

Important Safety Instructions

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven is

vented through the right rear coil element. 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/warmer drawer {if equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location

while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. If rack

• 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.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.

Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the

appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before

removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN ING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation

hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not

allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming food underthe hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the

hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
