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 includes paper, plastic and

cloth items, 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 clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time 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 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 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 and oven function.

tFi]_O_'_TANT iNSTRUCTIONS FOR USIm,!G YOUR COOK'_OP

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 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 spiliovers that

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

• Protective Liners--Do not use 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 to the

sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

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 e_ements 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.
