IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should
not be stored In an oven, warmer drawer, broiler

compartment, near surface burners, broiler compartment
or in the storage drawer. This includespaper, plastic and
ctothitems, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well
as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol

cans, on or near the range.

• DO Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where 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 BURNERS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven 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 clothingor other
flammable materials touch these areas until they have had

sufficienttime 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,

• 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 Contsiners--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 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 o the utensil.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materiats, and spillagedue to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned sothat it isturned inward, and doesnot 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.

• Protective Liners--Do notuse aluminum foil to line surface

burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire,

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due tothe sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cooktop use,

IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the oven. Ifthe
oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven will
begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock

and oven function.

Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot
oven. Let hotair 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.

pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away

from the high heat of the broiler.

that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area

underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Refer tothe hood manufacturer's instructions for

cleaning.

manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware

that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite

causing damage and injury.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

Owner's Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and any utensilsor foods from the oven.
