IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 the potholders touch the surface units. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder,
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Build-up of
pressure may cause the 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 the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the
power resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Important Instructions for Using Your Cooktop
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
element.
• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or more surface elements of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements--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 units.
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--Heating elements should never be immersed in
water. Heating elements dean themselves during normal
operation.
• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Settings---Boiloverscause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite,or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Make sure drip pans or drip bowls are in place-- Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit reflector pans, drip bowls, oven bottom or any
other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other useof protective liners or aluminum foil
may result in a 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 rangetop servicewithout breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see
that the surface unit ison. Burnswill occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
Important Instructions for Using Your Oven
• Use Care When Opening 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 vents
through the left rear surface element. 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. Theseitems could melt or
ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks.Always place racks in desired location while oven iscool. If a rack must be moved while
the oven ishot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot oven element or interior of the
oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposedfat and grease could ignite.
Q Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a
damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the range or turn off the power to the range
before removing and replacing the light bulb.
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. Exhaustfan ventilation hoods and greasefilters should be kept clean.
Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasydeposits in the
fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
• Kitchen cleanerslaerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommendeddirections for use. Beaware that excessresiduefrom cleanersand aerosolsmayignite
