burners may be hot even though flames are not visible.
Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let

areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.

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.

CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA B149.2, and the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70-1atest edition, or
in Canada CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1, and local code requirements. Install

the manuals. To reduce the risk of personal injury and
damage to the range, all other servicing should be done

each other.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door--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 below the backguard. 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 insertallow 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.
IMPORTANT-- Do not attempt to operate the oven during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the oven.
If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the
oven will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes,
reset the clock (if equipped) and oven function.
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 controls each surface burner. Place
a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn
the burner off before removing the pan.
•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.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--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--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
Important Safety Instructions
