Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place

a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one

or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating 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 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.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements—

Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

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

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. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware

that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow

manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top—If cook top should break,

cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cook Top with Caution—If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if equipped)—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 vent is located under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

For models equipped with ceramic cooktops, the oven vent is located under the left rear side of the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air is

released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks

To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides

on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flatbottomed cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating element, concentrating heat in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

Page 7

Before Setting Oven Controls

Element ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

Your range is equipped with two different surface control lights that will glow on your range— the Element On indicator light and a Hot Surface indicator light. The Element On located on the control panel, will glow when any surface element is turned on. A quick glance at this light after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.

The Hot Surface indicator light, located on the control panel, will glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a

MODERATE level.

Setting Surface Controls

To Operate Single Radiant

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

Surface Elements

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the cookware. Note: the Element On indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at the indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The Hot Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the “Off” position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch

fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

ENGLISH

Surface Cooking

Using proper cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig.1).

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Fig. 2.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown or cook properly.

DO NOT use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or some paper towels - they will damage the finish.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF & remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Use the general cleaning instructions provided in the paragraph above.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water & ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse & wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.

Remove oven racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner’s recommendations. Rinse with clean water & let dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions).

Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

Stainless Steel (some models)

Ceramic Cooktop

Clean stainless steel with hot soapy water & a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. DO NOT use cleaners with high conecentrations of chlorides or chlorines. DO NOT use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners form the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

See Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance in the General Care & Cleaning section.

General Care & Cleaning

Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

ENGLISH

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Page 14

General Care & Cleaning

Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance (cont’d)

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Care & Cleaning of Stainless Steel (some models)

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the Care & Cleaning section in this Use & Care Manual.

To Remove and Replace Oven Door

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with

the inside of the door facing down.

To Remove Oven Door:

1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - See Fig. 1).

2. Remove 2 screws located on the inside of the oven door liner (See A Fig. 2)

3. Insert the 2 screws into the door hinge holes located on the side of the hinge arm, one into each hinge (See B Fig. 2).

4. Close oven door until the door stops, (Do not force the door to close any further). The placement of these screws should keep door open in about a 45 degree position.

5. Grasp oven door firmly on both sides and slide door up and off hinges at the same angle. (See Fig. 3)

6. To clean oven door, follow the instructions in the General Care & Cleaning table.

To Replace Oven Door:

1. Be sure the hinge arms remain at the 45 degree angle position. Be sure the screws are still locking the hinge arms from moving. If the screws fall out of the hinge holes, the hinge(s) may snap back against the oven frame and could pinch fingers or chip the porcelain finish on the oven front frame.

2. Hold door at the sides near the top while resting the lower front of door on your knee. Insert the door channels at the bottom of door over the door hinges, (See Fig. 3).

3. Allow the door to slide down into the door hinges evenly at the same 45 degree angle. The hinge arms should be inserted into the bottom corners as far as they can go.

4. Open door completely (horizontal with floor) and remove both screws from holes in door hinges.

5. Reinstall the 2 screws into the door liner (See C Fig. 2).

6. If the door is not in alignment with the oven frame, remove door and repeat the above steps.

General Care & Cleaning

Cleaning Oven Bottom

The bake element is designed to be gently tilted up using your hand from the front of the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

Changing the Oven Light (some models)

On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened. Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The oven light is located at the rear of the oven.

To replace the oven light:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

3. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).

4. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting Oven Controls in

ENGLISH

this Use & Care Manual.

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

Before You Call

Solutions to Common Problems Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences

that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

OCCURRENCE

Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.

Surface element too hot or not hot enough.

Surface element does not heat.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level.

Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.

If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.

Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this Before You Call checklist.

Entire appliance does not operate.

Oven light does not work.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.

Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.

Service wiring is not complete. Be sure to call Sears at 1-800-4-MY-HOME® (See back cover).

Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

Replace or tighten bulb. See "Changing Oven Light" in the General Care & Cleaning section of this Use & Care Guide for instructions.

Page 17

Before You Call

Solutions to Common Problems (cont’d)

OCCURRENCE POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Oven smokes excessively during broiling. Control not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls.

Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position. Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between

the meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing. Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges

to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. Insert on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the

broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan. Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling

frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.

Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface (Ceramic-Glass cooktop models).

Metal marks (Ceramic-Glass cooktop models).

Brown streaks or specks (Ceramic-Glass cooktop models).

Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen (Ceramic-Glass cooktop models).

Poor baking results.

Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for high oven temperatures, pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive spillovers.

For oven fire, see "Setting Surface & Oven Controls" in this Use & Care Guide. Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause

scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.

Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the General Care & Cleaning section.

Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware. Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils

on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the General Care & Cleaning section.

Boilovers are cooked onto surface. See "Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance" in the General Care & Cleaning section in this Use & Care Guide for more detailed information.

Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven & space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Guide.

Mesures de sécurité importantes

INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES POUR L’UTILISATION DE LA TABLE DE CUISSON

• Sachez quel bouton correspond à quel élément de surface.

Placez un ustensile contenant de la nourriture sur l’élément avant de le mettre en marche et arrêtez l’élément avant d’enlever l’ustensile.

• Utilisez des ustensiles de dimension appropriée : Cet appareil

est équipé d’un ou de plusieurs éléments de tailles différentes. Choisissez des ustensiles dont le dessous est plat et assez large pour recouvrir l’élément chauffant de surface. Si vous utilisez des ustensiles trop petits, une partie de l’élément sera à découvert et les vêtements entrant directement en contact avec l’élément seront susceptibles de prendre feu. L’utilisation d’ustensiles d’une taille proportionnelle à l’élément améliore aussi le rendement.

• Tournez toujours les ustensiles pour que les poignées se trouvent vers l’intérieur et non au-dessus d’autres éléments : Pour réduire le risque de brûlures, d’inflammation de

matériaux et de renversement par suite du contact accidentel avec l’ustensile, la poignée d’un ustensile doit être placée vers l’intérieur et non au-dessus des autres éléments de surface.

• Ne laissez jamais des éléments de surface sans surveillance à des réglages élevés : Les débordements peuvent causer de la

fumée, la graisse peut s’enflammer ou une casserole laissée sans contenu peut fondre.

• N’immergez pas et ne trempez pas les éléments chauffants amovibles : Les éléments chauffants ne doivent en aucun cas être

immergés dans l’eau. Ils se nettoient d’eux-mêmes lors du fonctionnement normal.

• Ustensiles émaillés : En raison des brusques changements de température, seuls certains types d’ustensiles en verre, en vitrocéramique, en céramique, en terre cuite ou autres ustensiles émaillés peuvent être utilisés avec la surface de cuisson sans risquer qu’ils ne se fendent. Vérifiez les recommandations du fabricant quant à leur utilisation sur une surface de cuisson.

• Lorsque vous flambez des aliments en dessous de la hotte, mettez le ventilateur en marche.

INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES RELATIVES À L’UTILISATION DE VOTRE FOUR

• Soyez prudent en ouvrant la porte du four ou le tiroir chauffant (si l’appareil en est muni) : Tenez-vous sur le côté de

la cuisinière lorsque vous ouvrez la porte d’un four chaud. Laissez l’air chaud ou la vapeur s’échapper du four avant d’en retirer ou d’y placer des aliments.

• Ne bloquez pas les conduits de l’évent du four. L’évent est situé sous l’élément de surface arrière gauche si le modèle comporte des éléments tubulaires. Il est situé sous le dosseret pour les modèles munis d’une table de cuisson en vitrocéramique. Si vous touchez les surfaces de cette zone lorsque le four fonctionne, vous risquez de vous brûler gravement. Ne placez pas d’articles en plastique ni d’articles sensibles à la chaleur sur l’évent du four ou près de celui-ci. Ces articles pourraient fondre ou s’enflammer.

• Installation des grilles du four. Disposez toujours les grilles à l’emplacement désiré lorsque le four est froid. Faites preuve d’extrême prudence si vous devez déplacer une grille lorsque le four est chaud. Utilisez des maniques et tenez la grille fermement avec les deux mains pour la remettre en place. Ne laissez pas les maniques entrer en contact avec les éléments chauffants du four lorsque ceuxci sont chauds. Retirez tous les ustensiles qui se trouvent sur la grille avant d’enlever cette dernière.

• Ne vous servez pas de la lèchefrite sans sa grille. La lèchefrite et sa grille permettent à la graisse de s’écouler et de rester à l’écart de la forte chaleur dégagée par le gril.

• Ne recouvrez pas la grille de la lèchefrite de papier d’aluminium. La graisse ainsi exposée pourrait prendre feu.

• Revêtements protecteurs : N’utilisez pas de papier d’aluminium

pour recouvrir la sole du four. N’utilisez le papier d’aluminium que selon les recommandations données dans ce guide. Une mauvaise installation de ces revêtements peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique ou d’incendie.

INSTRUCTIONS DE NETTOYAGE IMPORTANTES

• Nettoyez la cuisinière régulièrement pour vous assurer que toutes les pièces sont exemptes de graisse qui pourrait s’enflammer. Portez une attention particulière à la zone située sous

chacun des éléments de surface. Ne laissez pas de graisse s’y accumuler.

• Produits de nettoyage et aérosols : Suivez toujours les recommandations du fabricant. N’oubliez pas que les résidus de

produits de nettoyage et d’aérosols risquent de s’enflammer et d’entraîner des dommages et/ou des blessures.

• Nettoyez fréquemment les hottes de ventilation : Ne laissez pas de graisse s’accumuler sur la hotte ou sur le filtre.

Suivez les instructions de nettoyage du fabricant.

POUR LES MODÈLES À TABLE DE CUISSON EN VITROCÉRAMIQUE

• Ne cuisinez pas sur une table de cuisson cassée : Si la table

est cassée, les solutions nettoyantes et les éclaboussures peuvent y pénétrer et créer un risque de choc électrique. Communiquez immédiatement avec un technicien qualifié.

• Nettoyez soigneusement la table de cuisson : Si vous essuyez des renversements sur une surface chaude avec une éponge ou un chiffon humide, faites attention de ne pas vous brûler avec la vapeur. Certains nettoyants peuvent produire des fumées nocives s’ils sont appliqués sur une surface chaude.

AVIS IMPORTANT

La loi de la Californie « Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act » exige que le Gouverneur de la Californie publie une liste des substances connues pouvant entraîner le cancer, des anomalies congénitales ou autres dangers à l’égard des fonctions de reproduction et exige que les entreprises avisent les clients des dangers associés à l’exposition possible à de telles substances.
