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
o Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let the pothotders 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.
o Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.
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

power resumes, surface units wil! begin to operate again,
Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and oven functions
= Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High
Settings--Boilovers cause 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
o 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 acover placed on the
food, Any other use of 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 service without breaking

manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use
= Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers If an
etement is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt You will not be able to
seethat the surface unit ison, Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched Damage may also be done to the
cooktop
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 ftat 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
Eiements_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
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important instructions for Using Your Oven/
Warm & Ready Drawer (some models)

Oven Cleaning
_During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the touch DO
NOT leave small children unattended
near the appliance,
.rL__ DO NOT line the oven
wails, racks, bottom or any other
part of the range with aluminum
folio Doing so will destroy heat
distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).

Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered
ash you can wipe away with a clamp cloth
1_ Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before precteaning
o Wear rubber gloves when precteaning and while wiping up the residue
after the self-clean cycle.
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven,
o DO NOT clean the oven door gasket The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal Care shouid be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket
, DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket Doing so
could cause damage
2 Remove the broiler pan, its insert, and all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures°
3 Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed If they go through
the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull
After the cycle iscomplete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or
salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
4 Remove any excessspillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle To clean, use hot, soapywater and a cloth Largespillovers
can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures DO
NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juicesor pie filling) to remain on the surface as
they may causea dull spot even after cleaning
5 Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom, These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on Clean with soap and water
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive
smoke or fire:
1 PushCLEAR.
2 Once the oven has cooled down for about t HOURand the "LOCK" light
has gone out, the oven door can be opened
3 Correct the condition which causedthe smoking
4 Restart the self-clean cycleonce all conditions have been corrected_
_DO NOT force the oven door open This can damage the
automatic door locking system Use caution when opening the door after the
self<leaning cycle iscompleted The oven may still be VERYHOT

_Use care when opening
the oven door after the self-cleaning
cycle Stand to the side of the oven
when opening the door' to allow hot
air or steam to escape,
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
We recommend a 2 hour self-dean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for
average to heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results)
To Set the Controls for' a Self-Clean Cycle:
1 Besure the clock shows the correct time of day
2 Push CLEAN " " appears in the display.
3 Pushthe UP ARROW until "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour
cycle, or push the DOWN ARROW until '_2:00" appears in the display for
