About Your Appliance

To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the

appliance, do not use appliance as a space heater to heat or

warm a room. Also, do not use the oven as a storage area for

food or cooking utensils. Do not obstruct the flow of air by blocking the oven vent.

DO NOTTOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACESOF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any 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 opening, surface near this

opening, oven door and window of oven door. Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth asthe

bulb could break. Should the bulb break disconnect power to

the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock

NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this

Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.

Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholdels may cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should

never be used as potholdels because they can trail across hot elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking. Clothing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with heating elements.

Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholdels. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry

potholder. Do not let potholder contact hot element in oven. Use racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/

purchased. Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food. PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufactureCs

instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food

could be contaminated. Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact heating

element. Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

Utensil Safety

Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or

accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use element covers, stove top grills or add-on

oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil manufactureCs instructions when using glass.

Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the

room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is

accidently bumped or reached by small children. Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and

avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that

is to be added as well asthe bubble action of fat.

Cleaning Safety

Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning. Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and

the appliance.

Cooktop

NEVER leave surface units unattended, especially when using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.

This appliance is equipped with different sizedsurface

elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve cooking efficiency.

Coil Elements

To prevent damage to removable heating elements, do not

immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher orself-clean oven. A damaged element could short resulting in a fire or shock

hazard. Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence of these bowls

during cooking could damage wiring. Protective Liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the

important Safety Notice and

Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of

California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such

substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven 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 venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes

from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive

respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self- cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Self-Clean Oven (:select models:)

Important: For manual clean oven, see page 6.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures

to automatically clean the oven interior. Do not force the oven door or lock lever open. This may result in exposure to high

temperatures and be a burn hazard.

The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers

to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not allow a heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well

ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Self=Cleaning

1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn out during the clean cycle.

2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily

after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.

3. Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive

cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self-cleaning process does not clean these areas. They

should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle. 0-he gasket is the

seal around the oven door and window:).

4. To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven

door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom. This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming

during the clean cycle.

6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel

isacid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may

discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self-clean cycle.
