SAFETY INS rRUCTIONS
Information in the Safety Instruction section covers all
electric cooking appliances. You may find some infor-
mation that does not pertain to your particular appli-
ance. Please review this section before using your
cooking appliance.
The following instructions are based on safety consid-
erations and must be strictly followed to eliminate the
potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
PROPER INSTALLATION- Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified techni-
cian,
NEVER USE YOUR
APPLIANCE FOR
WARMING ORHEAT-
ING THE ROOM.
STORAGE ABOVE RANGE- To eliminate the hazard
of reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage
should not be provided directly above a unit. If pro-
vided, storage should be limited to infrequently used
items that can be safely stored in an area subjected to
heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items
such as volatile liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays. If
cabinet storage is provided, instatlation of a range
hood that projects at least 5-inches beyond the bot-
tom of the cabinet will reduce the hazards associated
with such storage.
WEAR PROPER
APPAREL
Loose-fitting or
hanging garments
should never be
worn while using
the appliance.
STORAGE IN, ON OR NEAR APPLIANCE - Do not
store or use gasoline or other flammable materials, va-
pors and liquids in the oven, near surface units or in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not use cooktop
or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
DO NOT USE WATER
ON GREASE FIRES -
Smother fire or flame or
use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher,
if available or sprinkle
heavily with baking soda.
USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDERS - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating ele-
ments. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloths.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS:
USE PROPER PAN SIZE - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface elements of differ-
ent sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface element. The use of un-
dersized 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.
NEVER LEAVE SURFACE
UNITS UNATTENDED AT
HIGH HEAT SETTINGS -
Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
MAKE SURE DRIP BOWLS ARE IN PLACE - Ab-
sence of these bowls during cooking may subject wir-
ing or components underneath to damage.
USER SERVICING - Do not repair or replace any part PROTECTIVE LINERS - Do not use aluminum foil to
of the appliance unless specifically recommended in line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
the Use and Care Book. All other servicing should be suggested in the Use and Care Book. Improper instal-
referred to a qualified technician. Always disconnect lation of these liners may result in a risk of electric
unit or cut-off power to unit before any servicing, shock, or fire.

SAFETY INS [RUC [IONS
GLAZED COOKING UTENSILS - Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top serv-
ice without breaking due to the sudden change in tem-
perature.
UTENSIL HANDLES
SHOULD BE
TURNED INWARD
AND NOT EXTEND
OVER ADJACENT
SURFACE UNITS-
To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flam-
mable materials, and
spillage due to unin-
tentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a uten-
sil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface elements.
DO NOT SOAK REMOVABLE HEATING ELE-
MENTS - Heating elements should never be im-
mersed in water. Immersing element in water would
damage insulating material inside element.
VENTILATING HOODS:
CLEAN VENTILATING HOODS FREQUENTLY -
Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood
or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Gover-
nor of California to publish a list of substances known
to the State of California to cause cancer or reproduc-
tive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when
the appliance is engaged in the self-clean cycle there
may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly vent-
ing the appliance to the outdoors during the self-clean
cycle.
DEEP FAT FRYERS:
Use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle or
dLsposing of hot grease.
OVENS:
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.
KEEP OVEN VENT DUCTS (located under rear ele-
ment; rear corner of cooktop; between oven door and
control panel of wall oven or on backguard) UNOB-
STRUCTED. Blockage of vent prevents proper oven
aLrcirculation and will affect oven performance. Avoid
touching oven vent area while oven is on and for sev-
eral minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns.
PLACEMENT OF OVEN RACKS- Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved white hot, use care to avoid contact of
potholder with oven element.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE ELEMENTS OR OVEN
ELEMENTS, AREAS NEAR ELEMENTS OR INTE-
RIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
elements and interior surfaces of oven may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements, areas near elements or in-
terior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, sur-
faces facing the cooktop, oven vent opening and sur-
faces near this opening, oven door, and oven window.
Also, do not allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any
other metal object, other than a utensil on a surface
element, to contact heating elements.
ANTI-TIP BRACKET:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of the appli-
ance from unusual usage or by excessive loading of
the oven door, the appliance must be secured by a
properly installed anti-tip device. To check if device is
installed properly: Use a flashlight and look under-
neath range to see that one of the rear leveling legs is
engaged in the bracket slot. When removing appliance
for cleaning, be sure anti-tip device is engaged when
range is replaced. The anti-tip device secures the rear
leveling leg to the floor, when properly engaged.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
After appliance is installed, be certain all packing ma-
terials are removed from the appliance before operat-
ing the unit. If appliance is installed near a window,
take steps to prevent curtains from blowing over sur-
face elements creating a fire hazard,
Care should be given to location of appliance. Be sure
floor covering under appliance, walls adjacent to appli-
ance, cabinetry adjacent to appliance, and other mate-
rials adjacent to appliance can withstand prolonged
heat. This is a heavy appliance and can settle into soft
floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl. Use care
when moving range on this type of floor covering.
OVEN DOOR
Do not place excessive
weight on an open oven
door or stand on an open
oven door as, in some
cases, it could cause the
range to tip over, break-
age of the door or serious
injury.
CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE - Locate and mark
breaker or fuse. Never replace a blown fuse or reset a
breaker until you know what has caused the problem.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of the correct
amperage, do not use a substitute.
CONTROL KNOBS - Turn off control at the comple-
tion of a cooking operation.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN:
Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners or
oven liner protective coating of any kind in or around
any part of the self-clean oven. Clean only parts listed
in this booklet. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, oven racks, and other utensils.
ATTENTION: NE LAISSER AUCUN ALIMENT, US-
TENSILE DE CUISINE, ETC., DANS LE FOUR
DURANT LE CYCLE D'AUTONETTOYAGE.
On some models, a fan should be heard during the self
clean cycle. If not, cancel clean cycle and call a serv-
iceman before self-cleaning again. (Refer to CON-
TENTS on front cover for location of self-clean instruc-
tions and fan information.)
SMOOTHTOP COOKTOP:
Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may pene-
trate 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 nox-
ious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE - Children
should not be left alone or unattended in area where
appliance is in use, They should never be allowed to sit
or stand on any part of the appliance. CAUTION: Do
not store items of interest to children in cabinets above
an appliance or on the backguard of a range.
Children climbing on the appli-
ance to reach items could be seri-
ously injured. Children must be
taught that the appliance and
utensils in oron itcan be hot. Chil-
dren should be taught that an ap-
pliance is not a toy. They should
not be allowed to play with con-
trols or other parts of the unit.
