RANGE SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol. "WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

The range will not tip during normal use. However,the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the

anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.

Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved. See the installation instructions for details.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

Anti-Tip Bracket

Range Foot

Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:

• Slide range forward.

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.

• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNUNG: To reduce the risk of fire, ebctrbaI

shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the

following:

•, WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTPTIP

DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY SLIDE RANGE FORWARD,

LOOK FOR ANTPTIP BRACKET SECURELY

ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTFTIP

BRACKET.

•, CAUTUON: Do not store items of interest to

cNdren in cabinets above a range or on the

backguard of a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.

Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or

stand on any part of the range. Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the

range. User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of

the range unless specifically recommended in the

manual. All other servicing should be referred to a

qualified technician. Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials

should not be stored in an oven or near surface

units. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or

flame or use dry, chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp

potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS

NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface

units may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or

areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and

surfaces facing the cooktop.

Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with

one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover

the surface unit heating ebmenL 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

burner will also improve efficiency.

Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat

Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Make Sure Reflector 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 drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners 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 range-top service

without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not

Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,

the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over

adjacent surface units.

Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements -

Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may

penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician

immediately. Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or

cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can

produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result

in injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

• Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack

must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating

elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior

surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may

become hot enough to cause burns - among these

surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven

doors.

For self-cleaning ranges -

• 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.

• 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.

• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

For units with ventilating hood -

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It

will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it

free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops

with white ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more visible, and may require more cleaning and care. For more information, see "General Cleaning" section.

• Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack it.

Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on

cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board. Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking

area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"(1.25 cm) outside the area.

C. _2" (1.25 cm) maximum overhang

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or

dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the

cookware. Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small

expansion channels can be used. Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry

before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well- fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy

thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper

may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is afactor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

On some models, griddles with nonstick surfaces should not be used in the broiler.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

• Suitable for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavythickness is best for most cooking tasks.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

Ceramic or • Follow manufacturer's instructions. Ceramic glass • Heats slowly, but unevenly.

• Ideal results on lowto medium heat settings.

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.

This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

• Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. Canners should not extend more than

1/2"(1.25 cm) outside the cooking area.

• Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.

• On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners. For more information, contact your local U.S. Government

Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer

assistance.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE MED- LO • Stew or steamfood.
