important Safety instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
A WARNING
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.
' 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.
I Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust flame size
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
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.
Use care when opening oven door , warmer drawer or
lower 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 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.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the
fan on.

vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in
the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven
vent.

oven rack
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (on some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) will place the base
of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than a flat
oven rack. This feature provides several additional possible
oven rack positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
