J
NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or
drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also
cause damage to the range, Do not allow children to climb or play
around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause
the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of arange. Children
climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
* Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface burners 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.
important Safety instructions
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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, 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, adry 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 burners. 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--ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY: 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
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.
,,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 sudden
change in temperatures. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
* Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--
Stand to the side ofthe range when opening the door of ahot 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.
, Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has
not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit
has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning on the power to the appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
* Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath
each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Refer
to the range manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
,,Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use
& Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
,,Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
,,Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the
gasket.
